[Q] ADB & Linux

Anyone have adb working with linux? I've had zero luck hacking around with udev. Any assistance (udev rules, etc) appreciated! I do have adb-wireless working. My distro is Debian Sid.

probably not the best way, but i just threw it in the bin folder so i dont have to bother with it at all

I had no issues installing the sdk on lucid on my amd64. Never could get the sdk to install on xp(flp), so I had to install the one click root one line at a time from the *.bat

here for future reference, its a quick little script that will root your phone
http://www.mediafire.com/?hk59z8j5dve6tgf this works as long as your using bash shell cannot confirm for any others..
make sure to set click here as executable and make sure debugging is on your phone

Question about ADB...

I installed ADB (Windows 7) has described in this forum. ADB recognizes my phone when the phone is on. When I load the bootloader to prepare to unlock it the serial number does not show like when its on. Is this normal? Do I just proceed to unlock it?

You should not see it mounted unless you have it mounted. try running this command replacing blah with the file path to your adb file
Code:
blah/blah/blah adb shell
If it works, you're golden. If not, troubleshoot

I set the environmental variables so I can just enter adb shell?

Um I'm not too great with windows and on a mac we just drag the adb file into our command prompt and it works =/ what I'm saying is I have no idea what you mean by environmental variables. Try it? If it doesn't tell you the phone isn't there but also doesn't say its starting the daemon then you have to enter everything.

Awesome I'll give it a shot when I get home.

I tried adb shell and it says error: device not found. I've tried to update the drivers that i got from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786
Inside the x64 drivers there looks like there are 4 that might work:
Android_test
Android_usb
Android_winusb
Android_winusb2
I really dont understand what I'm doing wrong.
Edit: I entered the entire path and still nothing.

haha I got it. I was getting frustrated of trying to "play it safe" and said screw it. I just went ahead and entered fastboot oem unlock and it worked lol......

Rooted!!!

Same question here, I don"t have any clue how to root it !

Follow this metod!
1. Download and install Moborobo (because of drivers)
2. Connect you device to PC via USB cable (USB debugging mode on)
3. Start Moborobo and wait to finish installing drivers. After that go to device info and you will see that device is rooted but its not (i recommend to download root checker from play store - and you will see that device isnt rooted )
4. Download and install UnlockRoot free
5. Start UnlockRoot and you will see that device is rooted (but its not - you can check with root checker)
6. Start ROOT process and after few moments you will have rooted device! you can check with root checker
after go to play store and download superuser application. Now you have FULLY rooted device
notice: if supeuser (from play store) dont gives you popup to grant privileges then uninstall it and follow this procedure :
1.Download Yarvik ADB [by Orzech]:
http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/60795775/file.html
2.Run CMD in admin mode and go to the download Yarvik ADB folder.
>Enter:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb remount
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell "chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk"
adb shell "chmod 6755 /system/bin/su"
adb remount
adb reboot

Tried that but no joy thanks anyway

But for the record I have no way of testing that file etc but if it's bricked no harm in trying

Thanks for the msg..
I tried the link, seems to be nothing at the other end. Just constant adverts for marshmellows for every tablet on earth.

Record screen without root

As you can see in title I want to record screen without root, I don't want to hook it up to PC and then start recording only for 3 minutes long. I want to do longer than that and without PC and the app be free. Does anyone know an app that can do that or I need to be rooted ?

Unfortunately if you don't want to use ADB to record you need root.

Yes you have hope!
Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2629723
I know it says you require adb but the command works perfectly even in the phone.
You'll need an app like Terminal Emulator to open up the console and type in the command.
No root required.

OK cool thanks for thread, so I just have to put those commands into android terminal on phone and it will work ?

This is what I get when doing the commands

Noooooooooooo... That's not what you do.
'adb' is for your PC ONLY.
Type whatever is there after 'adb shell'
For example, type 'screenrecord /sdcard/video.mp4'
See, the adb shell command on your PC allows you to control your Android's terminal FROM the PC.
Instead, you can simply type the commands after 'adb shell' into your Android's terminal.

Oh right OK. So I can do anything that has adb shell after it ? But I don't see adb shell in that tutorial

Oh never mind . that means I need to be hooked up to PC to record all the time. I don't want to be beside PC all the time trying to record

No!
You don't seem to get my point.
Try this :
Open terminal, type the following -
screenrecord --time-limit 10 /sdcard/demo.mp4
This should record a 10 second long session from your screen and dump it into a video.

I don't know the maximum allowed time, but if you don't type the '--time-limit' flag, its set to 3 mins by default.
Guess its impossible to record games if max time is limited to 3 mins. You got no choice other than rooting then.

Failed to connect

Kitkat on nexus 5
Recently, about a week, I will get a popup that says "failed to connect". I'm sure it is some app that I'm blocking from the Web, but the message has no identifier. So I don't know which app is trying to reach the Internet.
Is there a log or tool somewhere that would help identify which app is putting up that error message?

'adb logcat'

So, do you mean in a terminal app, I enter
adb logcat > something.txt
Do I need to install a logcat app or just a terminal app?
Thanks for helping.

on the device, you need to become root to be able to use 'logcat'. 'adb logcat > something.log' would be the way to do it from a computer.

depends on how you want to go from here. you know that you can use either a computer or the device itself. so, what would be the easier way to achieve this?
a) 'adb logcat >futurelogfile.txt' would be nice, since it will redirect all logcat output to a file in your computer, ready for analysis; after this is running, just reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour ( on the device, ofc)
b) open a terminal app on the device, become root, run 'logcat > /sdcard/badbehaviour.log', go back to your homescreen leaving logcat running in the background, and reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour;
your choice.
EDIT: i wanted to remember stuff i knew existed, and i stopped by again to drop this link, for further reading on 'adb logcat' usage, if anybody wants to.

Thank you very much. That's very helpful. I'm already rooted.
