Okay. I have been trying to do other things with rooting other phones besides my HTC Rezound. I've rewritten a exploit so it will work on Mac. But this is a general problem. I deleted the Emulator and every single thing but the platform-tools on the windows side of my computer. So the only thing I have on my computer is the platform-tools folder (aka fastboot and adb) So I have tried what almost every forum has said. The adb kill-server. I restart it. Still there. I've tried to individually kill it still there. I've unplugged my device and ran adb still there. The Emulator is Port 5554 offline. I can't get it to come online, I have spent hours trying to kill it. This is one reason that stopped me from rooting on a windows because this stupid emulator won't go away and it never has. I've never ran eclipse on the windows side or to say that never anything but the adb and fastboot. Only the Mac side have I done other things. Please if anyone could help that would be nice. It'd save me time from having to take the .bat files and changing them to sh files and opening with text edit, editing the file to work with terminal, then sh run the file and it not work then back to the drawing board which after rewriting some stuff over and over is a miracle to see it finally execute the exploit. Thanks for any help. I would gratefully appreciate it. Thanks. This is the also what's from keeping me going s-off to. It's annoying and I would really love to fix the issue. I will take any advice. Just saying though the adb kill-server and a lot of other commands are not working and not doing the process. Please anyone who would like to help. Just put anything :$ Please and Thank you.

the USB driver for windows is available at:

It seems to work... I will update this thread with what I find.
Thanks for posting the driver!
I've tried a few things with adb, and so far I can't get an install to work over usb. I tried the following command.
C:\...\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools>adb install OperaMini.apk
579 KB/s (0 bytes in 278155.000s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/OperaMini.apk

http://www.android-freeware.org/tutorial/how-to-install-apk-files-on-android-device-emulator Had some basic info about the emulator, not sure what would be different for the G1.
The "adb shell" option allows you to access a shell on the phone over USB, which is really great but it appears you don't have root privileges. Any ideas on how to obtain root priveleges? Also, is there a command to install from the android shell? When i cd to /sbin i get access denied. I'm trying to figure out some kind of way to invoke an install either from the device or over USB.
I have the same problem... working on it now...
I don't know about the USB installs, but it seems to be something with the APK as well. I also have the OperaMini.apk and it does nothing. I downloaded the iTunes remote via the G1 and it installed just fine without getting a PC involved.
It looks like you have to put the phone into a "Debug on USB" mode to use ADB. It's working for me now.

So you were able to install the opera mini apk through adb with no trouble? I got the error listed above and did have debug mode on
Thank you dagentooboy!
Can someone explain this for this not so savvy person?

I think that is caused by an issue with the the AndroidManifest.xml file within the APK having to do with going from "beta" to "live" Android. The same reason most of the apps were pulled from the store. I don't believe it takes a major change to make it compatible, but it's fully compiled so, unless you have a decompiler, I think we may be out of luck on that particular one. I have installed other apk's successfully using the same method.

ADB is the Android Debug Bridge that comes as a part of the SKD. I don't think it was really intended as an end user tool. It has to be called from a command line. I know people have built basic UI's for it for file manipulation when the SDK was the only thing out there. If a better solution isn't found shortly I think we'll see one be made, or else I'll make one myself. In the end it seem to make a big difference of what you're trying to install some things work and some don't, there are some differences between the beta SDK and the G1.
For any developers out there, you can also access the ADB/DDMS feature through the Eclipse IDE, it provides a somewhat simpler graphic interface and is a really easy way to get screenshots. Has anyone tried just typing su through the ADB command prompt to see if it will switch you to # ?

the su command and sudo su returns "no permission" or "access denied" or something like that. That is also the same message i get when typing arbitrary commands that shouldn't be anything. And like i said earlier, /sbin along with many other directories are inaccessible. Hopefully someone will find a way to access the root account on the G1 pretty soon.
yes... must... have.... root...
Also a normal shell would be helpful esp when looking thru /proc/ for information.
Please help (ahhhhhh)
Okay So I am pulling my hair out here... I just booted android on my Vogue for the first time, everything works great, voice calls and sms.. But I can get a Inet connection but I am using Cricket not sprint so I added the username and password lines in default.txt and can connect, but Cricket uses a proxy for all http connections. So I found this article http://fggarcia.blogspot.com/2007/11/setting-up-proxy-for-android-emulator.html , which basicly says to use the adp app that comes in the sdk to add some lines to make the proxy. NOW, here is my problem... I can not for the life of me get my come (in windows or linux) to see my vogue while its in android..
In windows it does not appear ANYWHERE in the device manager... So I cannot install the driver, and in Linux it doesnt make a blip in dmesg..... USB debugging is marked and so is use adb....
It does charge when plugged in to the comp running linux.....
Can anyone please help me... And thanks to DZO and everyone else for there hard work on this project..
check too make sure your Android isnt listed under usb mass storage devices in device manager.
Ya USB isn't possible on Vogue yet, I just extracted data.img and added the proxy that way, but it still doesn't work. My Problem is I need all connection to use the proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080. I am not trying to be cheap or anything like the tzones thing for tmobile. Its just the only data plan cricket have use this proxy. So any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
my computer already had a driver installed and when i try to update it with this one it says there is no better match for my hardware
anyone got a solution for this
Im really sorry to bump this old thread up but i need the r3 drivers and i dont know why they are nowhere to be found on the official page... i think its a region lock thing...
hello. ive been reading on different forums on the best way to sideload apps on captivate on mac. ive read about sideload wonder machine but seems ppl have problems... seems ppl r being more successful on pc.... if i were to run parallels then win 7 and try to use sideload wonder machine on pc will it work? im still reading on how to use commands, and terminals and cmd lines and all that . im new to android but familiar with winmo phones and jailbreaking iphones. so if anyone can help me or point me to the right direction, it is greatly appreciated! on a side note, i use parallel's and ran win 7 and dl droid explorer to try and delete some at&t bloatware but no go. when i try to delete it nothing happens... so i dont know what to do! lol. im rooted and all. i wanna have sideload next! thanks again guys!
1. Install Android SDK for Mac
2. Using Terminal CD to android-SDK/Tools directory
3. place your apk file in the tools directory
4. In terminal type: adb install file.apk <where file.apk is what you want to install>
This is the manual way on windows and this is what sideload wonder does for you. If you want to learn - this is the best way to start. ADB is easy, and it opens up the gateway for everything else.
YOu can probably find a more detailed tutorial on using ADB commands in Mac.
ADB is what lets you copy system files off the phone, change permissions, get access to the systems.db where you can allow sideload from phone, etc.
I have tried everything to get a one click solution to enable non-market apps. First and foremost I am on a MAC. No access to a windows machine. I have my phone rooted and have installed superuser status.
I am looking for a solution that will let me install (easily) non- market applications. There appears to be several solutions doing this on a windows machine. I have not been able to find a solution on a MAC. And instructions, help, videos anything is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: not a total nube, but I have limited knowledge of the root directory and manipulation, but follow instructions well ........
What firmware are you on? Because if you are on the leaked 2.2 you should look on the leaked ji6 hacks forum page and it will give you the instructions that you can run in adb shell in the terminal application on a mac you just have to type ./adb (command) where windows users just have to type adb (command) you should make sure that you are comfortable on adb though because there are hardly any tutorials for adb on a mac around. I found that the hard way. Hope this helps, if you still can't figure it out post more info and I will do my best to help although I am still kinda a noob to android development.

Thank for the help, I will look at thie ji6 hack and see if it works. I'll let you know. Right now I have spent 3 days trying to unlock this pile of dung. ATT should be shot for doing this people. We bought the phone let us put what we want on it. PERIOD
Have you tried ADB? If you can get ADB to work, you should have the skill to copy over the settings.db and use the SQLeditor for Firefox plugin. Or use SQLite on the phone.
Read up on how to enable sideloading - the same commands that work on windows work on a mac - or very similar. As long as you know how to copy files in terminal you should be set.

I have seriously searched EVERY DAMN INCH of the Internet for this. Okay, obviously, I've seen all the posts like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351390 (I actually wanted to reply there but can't, sad)
And I've done all those steps, I've uninstalled everything, I've reinstalled everything, I've called my mom to tell her she wasn't lying to me about me being special, I've done it all ten times. This is what happens:
System stuff: Windows XP, cyanogenmod 10, ADB and Apps set to root, USB debugging on, Android 4.2.2, latest Android Commander, Galaxy S3 Sprint, Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
I open cmd and type adb devices, it shows me a device is available:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
ba0a8be4 device
I open Android Commander, it has a blank line that's highlighted blue, I click "OK", it says:
Connected device has status offline and cannot be used. Please reboot your device.
I reboot my device, same thing happens.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm seriously about to just flash it to 421 but I hate just giving up. I hate it almost as much as I hate asking for help. I spent 7 hours last night (I was up until 2am!!) and then another 4 or 5 today just trying to figure this out. I'm completely lost here. Oh, another thing, since I'm at it, does anyone know how to delete the saved RSA key from my phone? I looked in that data/adb place that link said and renamed it but it didn't seem to reset the key... maybe I need to restart, I'll try restarting after I rename it. Yep, I bet that'll work. It probably had it in memory. Anyway, pointless rant about RSA done. I hope someone has some ideas before I resort to just sitting in the corner, cuddling up with my phone, and crying until my mommy tells me I'm special.
Another possibly important thing is that Droid Explorer works briefly (I can see phone's files come up) but then crashes when I try opening anything.
It also, as I was just playing with it, seems like Android Commander causes the adb server to become outdated. Does that mean anything? I just ran adb devices, then tried AC, then did adb dev again and it needed to restart the service. I don't know if that means anything. Just something I noticed.
Oops I had to update the link, I just realized I copied the wrong one from the page suggestions it does. This now has the one I meant.
Did you find a solution? I am having the same problem.
I gave up. Flashed stock, then cm 10 with system and cache wipes then cm 10.1 without wiping system. Haven't tried with my computer since I mostly use my phone. I'll check later and update this and let you know. I would have just kept stock but my god that stuff sprint puts on sickens me......
I found a solution and it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40276190&postcount=1488
Yeah, I even said in my message that I made sure that was up to date. I was able to connect to adb and see it show up as a device now but Android Commander doesn't work. I did find out that adb push (and I assume pull) works but that probably worked before and I just didn't try. Anyway, I'm not too concerned. Glad you got yours figured out.
Hope this helps!
I managed to get android commander to work by installing the latest adb with the sdk manager and then I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to the bin folder located where ever you install android commander!

Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong when I try to root my nexus 5?
I've followed the many similar cf-autoroot instructions I've found online, but to be honest, I think that there must be some prerequisite steps I need to do before I can actually root.
Here's what I've done so far: I've downloaded the ADT bundle and installed the 4.4 SDK and recommended tools. I've also downloaded the cf auto root files and have them saved on my desktop. However, when I enter chmod +x root-mac.sh into terminal it says command not found. When I simply try to open the file from finder it opens the script in text editor, which obviously does nothing. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Everything i have seen online make it look so easy, but I'm getting nowhere... Could someone please help me figure this out?
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515640
Using a toolkit my be useful if you're not sure of things, but obviously caution is still advised if you aren't sure what you are doing.
I used this with absolutely no problems. I was originally looking forward to manually inputting the commands in terminal just to get familiar with it but saw the Android icon. in my curiosity I clicked it and it started the process for me. Took a couple of minutes.
It's done on Mac just like it's done on ANY os.
You need fastboot and adb in your PATH or you need to have all the files in the same directory.
