Hey Guys,
I'm having a couple of issues with setting up adb on my Linux Box (Xubuntu 12.04) I downloaded Android SDK and installed Platform-Tools. I've tried most of the methods on XDA but when I "./adb devices" I get nothing. I have a Micromax A87 which is a rebranded version of Mito A78 (Anybody heard of it???).
I would like help with another issue too. I recently got into theming, I edited some .pngs (not 9s) and compiled it, then signed it and zipaligned it but when I put it in /system/app and rebooted, it worked only partially. The one's with the default mode as RGB work, but the one's with the default mode "indexed" didn't. Does Anybody have any Ideas???
BTW, I use Gimp and I change the mode to RGB before editing them.
Thanks in Advance...

Might be worth reading this before starting another thread - [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA, I know you're new, you're obviously eager to do something based on your other thread, but keep this in mind, nothing you've got to ask (which so far) hasn't been asked or discussed many a time before, so if themeing is what you want to get into, click the second link in my sig, read it, bookmark it then try and put into practice what it is you're trying to learn, and if at first you don't succeed, starting a new thread to ask a question that you'll probably figure out the answer to whilst you wait for someone to reply with an answer you could have probably found by typing your thread title into Google, isn't going to speed things up or help you learn.
There are some links to using apktool with Linux in my guide btw which should be of help.
THANKS, XPERIENCED!!!
I already read your theming guide and about 5 others on XDA Forums and I decided to get a better understanding of Themes.
I still face an issue, I can't setup ADB! I've tried most of the methods on XDA Forums and everything I can think of, it isn't working. I did use Google, most of them simply don't work. My question is not "How do I set-up ADB on my Linux?", It's "I can't setup ADB, can anybody help me?"
*sigh* Can anybody please help me???
EDIT: Solved it, adb working now!

Hey guys. This is my first Android phone, and I'm trying to get ready to root it. I read the steps by toast in thread 690762 (it won't let me post a link due to "new member restrictions") but can't figure out how to do the adb shell commands. I have downloaded the Google SDK, and also eclipse, and am just utterly confused now. I've never really approached a project like this. Any help would be much appreciated.
yeah i had trouble setting it up also. what os are you using, by the way, some people might give u hell about posting this here.

appreciate the help guys finally got it to work by manully putting adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, and adbwinusbapi.dll in my windows/system32 folder. took me about 6 hours of googling
thats from my post from a couple days ago, its prolly something with the drivers not being recognized, goto your sdk folder then the tools folder and look for the files and copy and move them to your windows/system32 folder and see if that works. also remember to use administrative access when trying to flash the recovery or really anything. i set mine up to automatically run adb.exe in administrative mode
That did the trick, now stuck on sprint loading animation after flashing stock rooted evo ota update and updated radio image.
Correction: All issues fixed, thanks for your help guys. My EVO is now rooted and running the stock ROM that is rooted with an updated radio.
hello xda!!! been doing alot of reading here and desided that i wanted to be part of the action...with that said...
did some reading on how to get clockworkmod on the mesmerize and have no clue how in gods name to use adb...is there a how to that could help me better understand how to use it and get this on my phone after i have it rooted...soory for the noob question but as you can see. im a noob at this. only phone i have really modded is the samsung acclaim (which btw is a weak phone but good for the noobie droid user) so any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance guys and i look forword to helping devs by testing and such
adb, or android debug bridge, is a tool distributed with the android sdk. In current versions of the sdk, it is located in the platform-tools folder, which only appears after you download the sdk tools after downloading the sdk zip itself.
It should be noted that usb debugging needs to be enabled on your device in order for adb to work properly. This can be turned on under: Applications > Development
To use adb, you open up a command window if on windows or a terminal emulator if on linux or mac. Type:
adb <command> [options]
Where command is any one of the commands listed when typing "adb help" and options are things like file names, paths, or other flags.
Common commands include:
pull
push
shell
pull copies a file on your device to your current working directory (or the optional specified location)
push copies a file from your computer onto the device
shell invokes a simple shell on your device allowing you work in a linux like environment on your device
There is a reboot command that is sometimes helpful but that can always be done using the power button on the device.
You will probably only use push and shell.
Examples:
adb shell
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Hope that clairifies things a bit.
yes it does sir...so with those commands i can "push" the clockworkmod onto my mesmerize and have that beautiful recovery? the only directions i found where using the adb. if there any way i can screw this up ei: mistyping or will it just say invalid command or something? and again ty for the fast response!!!
you got the thanks for that...lol...im grateful for any and all help
Typos shouldn't hurt. If it's a bad command it just won't execute. If it's a bad filename you may have to clean up a bit (like remove the file that is improperly named or in the wrong directory) but nothing fatal should happen.
alright...i feel a bit more confident that i can make clockworkmod happen when i get my mesmerize and get it rooted...any other suggested mods for spped?
You should install a custom ROM, (I use Super Clean, some people prefer the pick n pack) then a theme you like from the themes and apps section, then install the voodoo lagfix kernel. Everything mentioned can be found in the Mesmerize forum.
yea i seen voodoo but wasnt quite sure what exactly it does. as far as the pick n pack or super clean...could you tell me the difference or does it say it on the page where it was posted and im just blind and didnt see it?

Greetings,
I am looking for an easy to understand method of root.
I have read the new user thread. I am afraid with this so called "easy" method for beginners, there is a lot of jargon used that I simply don't understand.
For example in the thread for easy root, I am lost at step #2 where I am instructed to:
"Note that adb is required.
Push misc.img, busybox, and psnueter using the following commands:"
I don't know what adb is let alone how to push misc.img, busybox and psnueter.
Can someone please point me to the instructions for absolute morons to this process like me.
Thanks in advance.

Android adb http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
which is in the sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You dont really need to know what the other tools are listed do, you just need to do what it says with them and the tools are linked in the thread you're reading to download I assume. If they aren't, then read through the manual method that is stickied in the developer's forum. A link for the tools (misc.img, busybox, and psnueter) can be found there.
I was a little nervous at first myself. I read over the directions several times and then found some information on how to get adb installed and working. Once I got that step understood the actual rooting process was super easy. You can cut and paste all the commands to ensure you don't typo. Just make sure to validate your checksums to save any potential headaches. My first attempt at it took about 20 minutes and I had absolutely ZERO issues.
It is well worth your time and effort. It is also far better to use this method than the easy root 1 steps as you will gain a slightly better understanding of how your phone works and what steps you can take when you inevitably mess something up flashing ROMS, mods and radios
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am not nervous, I just don't understand what any of this is.
I don't know what adb is or how to use it.
I don't know what copy and pasting the commands means.
I certainly don't know what "validate checksums" are.
I realize I am coming across as a comlete shmo, but explaining how to do this with more computer jargon doesn't clarify the process.
I really need instructions for dooshbags like me.
Thanks in advance.
There are also videos on YouTube showing JCases method and adb setup. I would link but I'm on my phone but it shouldn't be to hard to find.

There is no "easy", reliable way to root sans ADB and command lines. You will need to know this stuff before you try to root. You're going to need ADB in any event. If learning it isn't knowledge you desire, you shouldn't root your phone. For terms, you should refer to the dictionary stickied at the top of the forum. The best way to learn is to get the Android SDK, set it up, make sure your drivers are there, then play with ADB. Do simply stuff like check your serial number, the md5 of files on your SDcard, and harmless stuff like that. If you've got any questions along the way, feel free to PM me any time. I'm here often. And I'm usually faster than hunting through forums or the internet.

From what i think if u dont want the adb command line ****s you should try the software named "z4root". It automatically roots your phone.
Worked for me. And i think itz the easiest method available.
After installing the apk.
Open the application, click PERMANENT ROOT,
Then dnt let your phone sleep or lock itself, wait for about 10 minutes,
After the process reboot ypur phone.
Voila, you are rooted ..
Am new to the forums. please guide me..
Thanks and sorry for my poor english. Hope you like this.
Cheers!

Don't think z4root works on the Thunderbolt just search youtube for Thunderbolt root and watch the tutorials. Links are provided for everything that needs to be downloaded.

I know z4root doesn't work for any modern HTC. You can have permanent root without s-off. The only way to do that is through ADB, using an engineering hboot, and applying various exploits. All the "easy" root methods are just scripts that do what jcase's guide lays out. And unlike the guide, if something goes south, you're lost and screwed. I think it would be safe to say "easy" roots have probably bricked more phones than anything else.

Yep, and the past guy to go that route, after being warned it was highly prone to failure, had it fail. Then he came back looking for help, but nobody could because what went wrong wasn't at all clear. Just not wise.
Ive used the one click root four times with no issues. Four diffrent tb's from 3 diffrent states. 2 of them had alrdy takin the ota's. Dont have the link handy but if was a time saver. Though a half arse understanding of the method helps avoid issues. Ill post the link when i get home.

I rooted mine manually first. As you said in a previous post most "easy" roots are just scripts. That's what the one I used on my wife's was. I was following along the text of the batch file as I was running it so that if something happened I would know at what part of the script I was at. I had no problems with it though.
I'll agree that I could see where if someone where to run into a problem using script without any knowledge of what the script was doing they would probably end in a very bad place.
I think the obvious was missed in this thread: The OP is not a candidate for rooting. It's a risky task for experienced users and a non-task for noobs. He hasn't even stated a valid need for rooting the phone.

ADB "Android Development Bridge" Simply put just helps you develop apps and fix bugs. (In this case, you will use this to reinstall Android without a locked bootloader (a.k.a. S-Off) (the bootloader is code that is run when you first turn on your device that tells Android to run).
You don't have to know how to use ADB, but you must install it on your computer.
As far as copying and pasting commands go, the tutorial that you choose to visit will tell you to type this command ex: cp image.zip/sdcard/
You will just copy this code out of your browser (FireFox/Internet Explorer/Chrome/etc.) and paste it into a command line.
Your command line will depend on what operating system you use on your pc. Ex for Windows, you will use "Command Prompt" or on Linux/MAC you will use "Terminal".
As far as validation checksums goes, it is used to make sure that the file that you downloaded is 100% the same file that the developer made.
Basically, open up your command line and type (without quotes) "md5 image.zip" also, make sure you change to "image.zip" with whatever/where you file is at.
I would be more specific with these instructions I'd I knew what OS (operating system) you are using on your computer is.
After you type in the command and hit enter, it will spit out a long string of gibberish. Just make sure this "checksum" is the EXACT same as whatever the devolver put in the tutorial you are following.
As far as putting together an idiot proof guide, you will have to forgive us, but I don't think the people here want to have a bunch of people here flooding the forums with very basic questions that have been answered already on the internet. However, don't let that stop you from asking questions. Just make sure you help yourself first (Google what you don't understand) and then ask for clarification.
P.S. I claim touchscreen amnesty for any typos.

Im trying to get someone to help walkme through the rooting process of a motoactv watch that I received for christmas. The device was recently rooted, and it appears that the process is fairely easy. I have limited rooting experience with android phones, and have jailbroken a few iphones, but have never had to mess with command lines, or adb. If someone is willing to walkme through the process on here I will be more than willing to make a modest paypal donation to them (we can discuss payment terms.)
I have posted the link website below for the rooting procedure. Also note that I am only interested in doing this as long as the core fitness apps and capabilities of the device arent completly destroyed, as this was a gift from my girlfriend and it needs to function in a fitness capacity. Im thinking that they shouldnt be affected, and that I probably will only gain the ability to delete them, but I could be wrong. I am also trying to learn from this expereince and am willing to pay if necessary to do so. Thanks so much, and hope everyone has a happy new year.
http://www.cmw.me/?q=node/55
I have one on order. I thought the process was pretty straightforward. It is easier on a Mac or Linux as there are scripts that use zergrush already available. If you are unfamiliar with using the command line I would recommend finding someone else to root it for you.
I am rooting mine for Google music and adding watch faces but I am kind of tickled by the idea of watching NetFlix on a wristwatch.

Hi
I already rooted the MotoACTv that I have. But I am having problems installing the Google APPS zip file downloaded from the cynagoen web site. Can some one explain how to install this so I can get the Market up and running on the watch. I already installed other apps like pandora and they work. Only thing is that I installed this with adb install command and not the via the market. Would love to have the market working. Please help.

If you downloaded the gapps from cyanogenmod as you should have, you need to adb push everything that isn't an apk.
There are a few libraries that need to be installed. adb push filename /file/location/name is the way to do this. The locations match the unzipped folder names.

I also need step by step directions please, bricked my watch
I tried to follow the directions and I finally got the phone to root. Then when applying the new interface it must have not liked the commands I was trying to use.
Can anyone give step by step directions. It took me about 2 hours to figure out what applications I needed and how to use them so I am sure others would benefit from this.
The directions on that original post was way too vague for us noobs

Oh, no... Are you sure your watch is bricked? That really is awful... I thought mine was for a bit after I used Super One Click to root it, but I was able to recover it by holding Start + Power for 10-15 seconds then plugging it in.
It seems zergRush is safer -- I ended up with root after that, but a couple of others in the #motoactv channel on freenode tried it and ended up with the phone seemingly dead (though a start+power off like above fixed it) and without root.
I posted this in the other thread but I am impatient and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here too so,

MOTOACTV update without Windows
I'd like to root my MOTOACTV. My clock is running version 4.53.50. To root I had to update at least to version 4.55.78. I found the file delta-ota-Blur_Version.4.53.50-4.55.78.Motorola-F100.Retail.en.US.zip but I've no idea how to flash that to my clock without Windows.
Any ideas?

Okay, i am kind of irritated with the whole 15 levels of volume for Android devices and i wish to increase the range upto 30, 50 is preferred.
I've tried this link HERE
And obviously it didn't work because it is made for a Samsung device which is not mine
So done with the intro (Sorry if I bore you )
I will just tell you what I have and what i need
What I have:
I use an Xperia Mini Pro Sk17i
Running on Cyanogenmod 9.1 (ICS)
Yes it is rooted (No duh)
What I want:
Better range for my volume from 0-15 to 0-30 (50 is appreciated)
At least a frameworkmod.zip
Easy instructions or link to where i can do all this if it has been done
I know if there is a thread about this this will just make me look lazy or something but no, i have been searching around (still am) but i decided to ask so that a kind, charming, knowledgeable person (Trying to attract you ) can step forward and help me
Hope I can get a reply
Additional info can be asked at your request

I've seen certain devices just have a framework.jar or framework.zip you need to install which just changes some codes

How I managed to do it
This is just for people who need to change their volume on their Mini Pro or other devices
Things you need :
Java software Development Kit
Download Latest JDK (Just download the Latest JDK, not JRE)
smali/baksmali tool (Thanks to the Korean guy, 'vorcot')
Download here
Have Notepad
Have your Framework.jar file on your desktop
Now sometimes Java might not be recognized in cmd
This will be noticed when you use Backsmali.bat (Happened to me)
You can get such message like: "Java Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External Command"
So to fix that watch this video
Credits to the guy because I thought i would never fix it
After that
Go HERE
And follow the steps from "A. Basic Steps"
and in one step to change the volume you cant just put 30 or 100, it must be in hexadecimal form
You can use the converter here
Just enter a number on the decimal are which is your regular 1-Infinite numbers and click convert
Hope it helps for people who need it :good:
And Any questions can be asked
When I am free, i will make a full Tutorial for complete newbies
