[upload] fastboot and adb binaries for 64-bit linux

i've just compiled android, and have adb and fastboot which may be of use for you! i couldn't find anywhere to actually download fastboot (the links on the htc site are dead), so i thought i'd put them up here for you.
they were compiled on 64-bit debian, but should work on any 64-bit linux platform. heck, as i had to install a lot of 32-bit headers, they may even work on a 32-bit machine. i can't test, so let me know if they do, and i'll update this post.

bash-4.1$ file adb
adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

I am usually on 64bit gentoo, but by netbook runs a 32bit gentoo.
You could give me the source and I'll try to compile it as 32bit for the others.
I would like to obtain the source anyway.
Thanks, man

Thanks a lot @MarkusPO. I had a bricked LG P500 phone after clockworkmod installation failure as it only booted in fastboot mode. So, your fastboot binary was instrumental to flash the recovery image again and get my phone back without restoring oficial LG ROM. It worked in Ubuntu 10.04 32-bits with SDK installed.

file fastboot
fastboot: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0xe3aff04e690e0f530f8fe8f00b1845d50f39b203, not stripped
They are both 32bit binaries

Sorry for doing some necromancy on an old discussion, but when I was looking for fastboot and adb Debian 64bit binaries, this particular thread kept coming back.
The information needs however some update that could be useful for the next soul ending up here in the hope of finding these software without having to go through the trouble of installing the SDK and executing binaries without knowing where they are coming from!
There are official Debian packages for adb and fastboot and you can use your favourite package manager to install them.
At the time of this post, they are only available on Sid, which I use, but you should be able to download the *.deb below and install them without trouble on Wheezy (Squeeze might require more work).
http://packages.debian.org/sid/android-tools-adb
http://packages.debian.org/sid/android-tools-fastboot
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for this, was looking for this forever

Huge thankk
Cheers mate,
I've been looking for a way to flash recovery image from ubuntu, for a whole month. You've done a marvelous job, thank you so much!

Not 64-bit

I found this thread looking for a 64-bit ADB binary, and..
That's a 32-bit binary.
It's not even statically linked, so it can't be used on a 64-bit machine without first installing a ton of 32-bit dependencies.
All those 32-bit headers you had to install were installed because you were making a 32-bit binary.
Code:
$ file adb
adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped
$ objdump -x adb | grep NEEDED
NEEDED librt.so.1
NEEDED libncurses.so.5
NEEDED libpthread.so.0
NEEDED libstdc++.so.6
NEEDED libm.so.6
NEEDED libgcc_s.so.1
NEEDED libc.so.6
NEEDED libdl.so.2
That means that on a 64-bit system, you'd have to install the 32-bit versions of librt, libncurses, libpthread, libstdc++, libm, libgcc_s, libc, and libdl.
This binary has no connection to the x86_64 architecture whatsoever, and ran flawlessly on an i686 Linux live CD.

[Q] Build Android using native compiler

All tutorials on building Android are referring to use M$ with a virtual machine and Ubuntu 64bit linux or use a computer with 64bit Ubuntu and cross toolchain installed.
I have a development board (A20) with Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) and the arm7hf compiler installed. The manufacturer delivers an Android image along with the source code archive.
My question is:
Is it possible to re-build Android for this kind of device using this environment?
This would avoid big computers with cross compilation instead it's done with the native compiler and tools for the processor it should later run on.
Or is the use of a cross toolchain fixed by Google in the Android SDK, i.e. no possibility to build Android in the native processor environment it is intended to run on?

[HELP]Windows 10 Enterprise ARM64 on limbo ARM emulator

Hello guys and girls,
today i downloaded the ARM version of Windows 10 Enterprise and wanted to try it on Limbo pc emulator (arm version), but the problem is i can't get it to work! i tried several settings but without luck. the only thing i get is a ''serial0 console'' message when it starts, so my question is: did i something wrong? can somebody get it to work?
i hope people take my question seriously, and check it out.
Every help will be appreciated!
O and btw this is the ISO i downloaded:
h.t.t.p.s://mega.co.nz/#!aoszTJ6C!xDAsrv-R4x3zxhORnFbSpwdX8TxLJmlqm9QSBjOCUI8
INFO: Windows 10 Enterprise [ARM64] (en-US)
16353.1000.170825-1423.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_ARM64FRE_EN-US.ISO (3,51 GB)
And i used the Limbo ARM emulator that matches with my CPU, so x64ARM Snapdragon 625
Thank you very much!

The Limbo Emulator only has an "arm" platform emulate now, but win10 arm is arm64(aarch64).
And you need a bootloader of UEFI bios for the qemu.

Any other way to do this then?
~sincerely a user with an arm64 device

I have multiple answers. 1. The emulator isn't powerful. 2. Ask for a lightweight Windows. 3. Limbo wasn't made to emulate Windows 10.
I also tried emulating Android arm on it but it said "guest did not initialize the display."

I got edk2 implementation to work on limbo arm emulator, now I will try to boot woa iso

VM software for 32-bits

Hi
I am on Windows 10 ( 32-bits system) on an oldish Intel 2- Core 14-2120 3.30 GHZ 32-bits CPU. I want to virtualize a 2nd OS ( Windows 10) in order to switch between the two OS without having to reboot each time. Unfortunately all the Virtualization softwares I have looked into, are designed for 64-bits. I tried a few of them and I invariably get a message that I cannot install because a 64-bits platform is required.
I have been able to install only an older VMware app. ( v. 5 or so) It did go in. and I was able to create a VM box by following the instructions. However I hit a brick wall: when I try to install the CD from the optical drive, I do get the Windows Logo on the VB screen, but it stops there and I cannot install the virtual Windows 10. Why? How can I finalize the 3nd OS installation?
Thanks
Ittiandro

VirtualBox is available as 32-bit edition, too.

It didn't help me

It would be helpful if you specified what virtualization applications you had used for this. I know for sure that there are virtualization apps that allow you to virtualize a 2nd OS (Windows 10) on 32-bit systems like yours. I suggest that you try using VMware 7 for this, as I have often used this piece of software myself, and I can say that this is the best virtualization software that I have tried for purposes similar to yours. I won't be able to test any other virtualization apps of this kind since I have a 64-bit operating system now, but I'm sure you will succeed.
