I need some help installing amon_ra's recovery. In adb it states I don't have permission to push files. If I try to run a fastboot it states I don't have permission. How can I get the above mentioned recovery on this phone ?

You should ask this in the thread that already exists.
If you follow every step listed, that won't happen. Do not skip any steps.
Do not skip any steps
1. Boot the device in fastboot mode, hold down the back button while powering on.
2. Connect via USB.
3. "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img"
It will reboot into the custom fastboot with a black background. Then you'll be set to do these commands:
adb shell mount -a
Ignore the the errors...
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /system/recovery.img
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell reboot

I would have tried all that except the adb drivers are not working with the magic on windows vista. Device manager only shows Android 1.0

they work fine, you just need to properly install them.

Device manager only shows Android 1.0 Which I installed from the most recent sdk. Adb only will show 'waiting for device' even when I try to boot the recovery before flashing.

Switch to Linux ... nah just kidding... you obviously have a driver "issue", it happens to many people using Micro$oft Vi$ta...
Perform the following steps (do not skip any steps) on Vista :
1. Make sure your phone is not connected via usb
2. Download USBdeview and run it as admin (it's very important to run it as admin otherwise you will be unable to uninstall!).
3. Uninstall all drivers that mention Android in the device name or description.
4. Make sure that USB debugging is enabled in your phone (Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging).
5. Connect your phone via usb.
6. Vista will now look for drivers, point it to the sdk drivers and make sure it uses those.
7. Check with "adb devices" to see if your phone listed.

Issue using ADB and Windows 7?

I apologize if this is not the right forum and I would request that it be moved, not deleted, if possible if its the wrong forum. I'm kind of stuck here.
Have a bit of an interesting situation. I am running Windows 7,
got the USB driver successfully installed... boot up the command prompt and BAM:
C:\android>adb remount
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
C:\android>adb devices
List of devices attached
Here is the weird thing...
C:\android>fastboot devices
HT97JLV05321 fastboot
It looks like the fastboot is recognizing that my phone is attached but the adb shell will not. Any ideas what the issue could be?

LOL, I just switched back from Ubuntu to Windows 7 just to see how things have progressed. There are so many little Windows 7 quirks that drive me crazy that drove me back to Ubuntu almost instantly. Give Linux a try. A good starting Linux OS would be Linux Mint:
http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php

I had a similar issue when I tried it. Despite the fact that there are 64-bit drivers for Vista/7 available, I don't believe they actually work for ADB currently. I'm pretty sure everyone who has ADB working is using Windows XP 32-bit.

I actually burned a copy of Ubuntu that I was just going to run off of the CD. I'll give that a shot and see if it lets me do what I need to do. Thanks for the quick responses.

I am using Windows 7 final (RTM) (64-bit) and also Windows 7 Beta (32-bit) on two different computers. They all work fine with adb commands.

I faced the same problem a few days ago. I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and in a first installations the drivers work fine and the device has been displayed, but BAM when I try to use ADB no way.
After many tries I resolved the issue running the Command Prompt as "Run as administrator" and VOILA worked fine.
I hope this can help you.

Try Mint instead of Ubuntu. Mint is Ubuntu based. The big difference with Mint is that it already has all of your codecs installed - great for beginners.

If you installed first the htc sync, you have to remove the current drivers..
and had the drivers from the androidsdk pack! There's is a a lot of program who delete usb installed hardware/drivers.. delete all from htc on this programs!
Hope this solves ur issue!

I use Win7 64bit(rc1) .. i have the amd64 driver installed..
I see the phone from adb (not fastboot) when it's normally connected with USB debugging turned on.
I see the phone from fastboot (not adb) when it's in fastboot mode.

I have no choice but to laugh at myself, just realized I was IN FASTBOOT on my phone and not recovery. Fail me.
Now if I could just edit this apps2hd code /sigh.

Except that... that wasn't my issue Its ok thanks for the input.

"error: device not found"
I can't get ADB to work with my Windows 7 X64 Ultimate. Windows automatically install a driver for the phone when I plug it in. When I try to install my own driver with the one in the SDK, I get:
"....doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
Doing a update to the driver, it says the one I have installed is already up to date.
I have the latest Win 7 with all important Window updates.

The same confi, the same result

Everything works fine here with Win 7 Ultimate x64, you just install the driver in the Android SDK.

make sure u have usb debugging checked... cause i have windows 7 rtm ultimate and my adb works fine... i just loaded the needed file into windows/system32 and also put my fastboot.exe in there and added the tools folder to the environment variables and have no problems

What do I load to the system32 folder? I can't install the drivers from the SDK package. Is there a way to overwrite the ones Windows automatically installs and thinks is more up to date?

Make sure your phone is in recovery mode and NOT fastboot mode.

Finally, I experienced that error you people had been reporting. It MAY have to do with the HTC Sync driver, as suggested, but it really had worked fine with other roms before, so I am not sure. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, tried to push the ADB driver manually, but that didn't work. And, before I try to uninstall the HTC Sync driver as suggested (I don't even know if I have that installed), I got it working by just plugging in another USB flash drive. Go figure.
So for anyone still having the issue after trying all other solutions, try this bizarre one:
1. Go to device manager and uninstall the HTC disk drive device. (This alone won't work, I tried)
2. With phone still plugged in, plug in a USB disk drive (or maybe just any USB device?) into another USB port.
3. Suddenly Windows 7 detect that unknown ADB driver, as it should. Now you can go ahead to install the correct ADB driver.
As a side note, this computer running Windows 7 Beta/RC have had a lot of problems with USB disk drives in general. The problems disappear after Windows 7 RTM (final).

[Q] Can't install ADB drivers- need help!

I figured it out!
I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize my phone as an ADB device. I have an HTC EVO, running cyanogen 6.1. I've downloaded the android SDK, as well as several of the SDK components (Google-usb-driver, platform-tools, and several APIs).
When I plug in my phone, my computer would not recognize it as an ADB device, so i removed the drivers from my computer and tried again. I attempted to manually install the drivers from the file (C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) with no luck. I tried going into the amd64 file (I'm running windows 7, 64bit), but my computer would not recognize the drivers.
I'm new to all of this (this is my first post)- any and all help would be greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem with a HTC Hero (Sprint) tried everything but i can't get my pc to regocnize the adb driver

same thing with stratosphere.
I have the same problem with an unrooted samsung stratosphere. I need to install the adb drivers to use the smartdog remote web desktop through usb. The samsung usb drivers are already installed so it won't let me install the adb drivers. What can I do?

Funny I thought I was having problems with ADB cuz I'm on a Mac but it appears you Windows catz are SOL too...WTF is up with ADB not recognizing devices? Somebody should have a fix or some info on this, so frustrating, I just wanna root my damn devices!

had the same issue. here what I did and it worked:
- go to junefabric dot com
- download and install PDANet( 'cause it got adb usb driver in it)
- uninstall PDANet( if you have no use of it. don't worry, adb usb driver doesn't uninstall)

no ADB connection anymore

ok guys, here you go:
my phone doesn't make any ADB connections anymore with my mac.
points i already tested:
- reinstalled all the android dev tools
- flashed several rome on my sensation (tried: Beast rom, pyramid, arhd)
- reboot without fast boot
- usb debugging is active!
when i'm typing in terminal: "ADB devices" --> i get no devices.
where is the problem?
i already used adb while s-off my device, but now it won't work anymore.
just remember, i'm using a MAC, so i haven't got a pc!

You're right.

go into devmgmt.msc and see if your phone shows up under adb interfaces. if not, could be 1) bad usb cable, 2) bad usb port, 3) bad adb driver.

Check the drivers, you may need to update them

how 2 do that? i mean what do you mean with devmgmt.msc(device management...?)
1) usb cable is good, the original one. also tried different usb cables, it doesn't matter.
2) usb port is also ok, other devices running out of the box (f.e. dvd drive oder dslr)
3) adb driver already updated via "Android SDK and AVD Manager".
i installed Android SDK tools, SDK Platform tools, sdk platform (--> is there sth. missing?)

no sorry...won't work..
getting the same:
Code:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
also tried without fastboot rebooting.

there are news guys:
just got an windows 7 personal computer for a couple of days.
installing the sdk and usb driver just worked fine.
why it doesn't work for mac?
already installed all new...

You may also check the cable you're using to connect the phone to your Mac. I was getting the same problem when trying to use the cable from my car charger - the phone was not even visible on the system list of USB devices. Using the cable that came with the phone did the trick.
(although if you used the same cable with Windows and it worked, my hint won't be of much help)

ok, just found out where the problem was caused. it was EasyTether!
this will help:
Code:
If you have installed EasyTether on OS X, the EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext can prevent adb from communicating with your mobile device.
If you use Easy Tether, BEFORE you plug in your phone run:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
(or unplug/plug your phone in after)
If you are done debugging and want to use EasyTether again, either restart or:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
If you want to remove the EasyTether kext so it never hassels you again:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext

ADB

Can someone explain me how to get ADB working on my SGS8? I've tried everything: installing drivers, Java, Android SDK, 15 sec adb driver, universal ADB driver, minimal adb. I can't figure out how to do that.

Do what? Get an ADB shell with a pc?
Just install the samsung drivers from here, enable debugging in developer options on your phone and connect via usb

Thanks, will try that

i was having one hell of a time as well. I tried everything on my laptop to no success. So i actually gave up. Than i thought well maybe its my laptop. So i ended up trying another one i had in the house and viola it worked like a charm. It seems like certain pc are just unable to connect to the samsung s8 via adb mode. Which is totally weird because I had been using adb mode on my pixel xl with no issues what-so-ever. So try a different pc if you can, it worked for me flawlessly.

Might be the USB port.
I had a similar problem connecting my Lenovo laptop to a Kindle Fire. I used a different USB port and everything worked.
