A lot of people have questions about using ADB, so I decided to make a very simple guide to some basic ADB operations. This information is available all over XDA, but many people don't seem to like looking through other device threads.
ADB should function in recovery and when the tablet is normally booted.
Install ADB on your PC.
Download the attached ADB_files.zip
Create a folder to hold the ADB files (I will use C:\ADB) and extract the files to that folder.
Download and install the Samsung USB drivers (available HERE), or, install KIES to get the drivers.
On the tablet, go to Settings, Developer Options and enable USB debugging.
Connect the Tablet to your PC via USB cable.
Open a command prompt in your ADB folder. The text at the prompt should read C:\ADB. (You can just click on the Command_Prompt.bat to do this).
Verify ADB is working by typing "adb devices" (and hit ENTER) in the command window. You should see a device number listed for your tablet.
You are now ready to use ADB functions.
I have included in the zip a few .bat files to perform some of the basic commands for you. These commands will output files to your ADB directory.
Below are some of the common commands you can use with ADB for troubleshooting purposes:
- To boot into Download mode:
adb reboot download
- To boot into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
- To reboot:
adb reboot
- To get the last_kmsg (to troubleshoot kernel issues):
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.txt
- To get the dmesg:
adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.txt
- To get the logcat:
adb logcat -v time -d > logcat.log
The first time you use the "su" command, you may need to acknowledge the Superuser request on your tablet in order for the superuser permissions to be granted.
These are some very basic examples of what can be done with ADB, but they are very helpful when troubleshooting many issues. There are MANY other commands for ADB(that can be Googled).
There are also some apps that can do this for you, but I prefer to do these things manually most of the time.
Feel free to post any useful adb commands you use on a regular basis.
HOW TO GET A RECOVERY.LOG
If you are in your custom recovery:
Make sure you have adb working on your PC (see above).
Connect your device to PC.
Open a command prompt; then CD to your adb directory.
Type the following command:
Code:
adb pull /cache/recovery/*
You will get several files in your adb directory (log, last_log, last_log.1...etc)
Send those files to your developer.
If you are booted into Android:
Make sure you have adb working on your PC (see above).
Connect your device to PC.
Open a command prompt; then CD to your adb directory.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mkdir /storage/sdcard0
cp /cache/recovery /storage/sdcard0/recovery
exit
exit
adb pull /storage/sdcard0/recovery
You will get several files in your adb directory (log, last_log, last_log.1...etc)
Send those files to your developer.
I have my GT-P5210 (wifi) rooted...
I have not been able to get ADB to work properly once
Wish I I had tried before I rooted this device.
I have tried via WifI & USB = no go.
Anyway no big deal I guess, running 'ES File Explorer' on a rooted device gives me all the power I need.
Just miss the convenience of sending a single APP from PC to Tablet (without cable) to install.
Well ok then..
I finally tried a different version of adb.exe than the one I originally used (was about 400kb), and now it's all working as expected..Yay
Maybe the version I tried was a bit dated ? not even sure where that is now, lol
done too much since, being a new pad owner and all.
Now I am able to make use of "Right Click APK" >> install via Wireless Connection.
No wires, no prompts.
Just wanted to post a follow up in case anyone thought I inferred 'rooting' somehow cost me ADB functionality
Very happy
:good:
(OP get's a +one for making me revisit the issue)
The best and most simple guide
it`s just what you need

It's extremely easy to get ADB working on a Tab 3 10.1, just make sure USB Debugging is enabled and reboot. Press the bottom button of the Volume key and Power supply key at the same time. Then Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 will enter hboot mode.

Reflashed using oden with the same results = I hold down power vol-up and home until the Samsung GALAXY Tab3 screen appears then I let off the power button and the Samsung GALAXY Tab3 screen just sits there
I have tried holding the home and vol-up keys for over a minute with the same results = the Samsung GALAXY Tab3 screen just sits there even after I release all buttons = I have to do a hard boot but then it loads the UI

Ok there is a way to flash a recovery or to check if it is there or not if you use twrp use its file manager but don't forget to mount /system or if you are using cmw u need aroma file manager google that, however the problem is idk where is the location of recovery mod so ask @gr8nole
Moreover have you checked if it is a bad download of recovery ofcourse and try other recoveries

Just unlocked my Moto G. Now what? idk if i should get a customer ROM which I do want, but do I need to get a recovery and or kernel update as well? excuse my lack of knowledge in this stuff. it was a pain getting it unlocked since i had to perform extra steps since the passcode key was incorrect due to the fact the phone was upgraded to 4.4.4 kitkat. anyways it is unlocked but I want to get the most out of this phone, the service is of Boost Mobile
suggestions?
ty
My Moto G is from Boost Mobile too (xt1031). I'll just tell you what I did:
-unlocked bootloader
-flashed twrp for xt1031
-rooted
-somehow found out about Xposed (or was it on my tablet? lol) and installed it
-Started flashing Roms. I had Paranoid Android for a while but now I have PAC Rom
Before I unlocked the bootloader I had android 4.4.4 btw. I don't know if I helped but I hope I did...somehow.

Ok cool...So flashing is rooting? I downloaded TWRP and clicked it but it said "No mountable file systems"
What about Superboot? is that rooting a device? does it matter really which one i pick to root it? I thought the difference is in the Custom Roms
No flashing would mean "installing"(just to make it simple). I flashed TWRP ( http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/xt1032 select the latest one & I know these say xt1032 but they work) using Terminal; but in order to do it this way, you have to install android sdk first. Here is a guide to do install android sdk and flash the recovery
http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-like-CWM-or-TWRP-on-Android_id53914
I didn't use this but did the exact same process. Once you have that done you can root your moto g. I'll provide you with a guide shortly. Good Luck
do i want to download the Android Studio or just the SDK tools?
and TY!
Found one:
http://motogroms.com/root/how-to-root-moto-g-on-android-4-4-4-xt1033-xt1031-xt1032-xt1034
Download the "UPDATE..." file from step 2 and since you have a recovery now just go to step 4 (step 4 is done with a ClockworkMod Recovery so the wording will be different if you decide to get TWRP. I found this guide (which has all you need) too late but it's the same thang. If you need help, i'll try to help. Good Luck.

s**t I didn't refresh chrome so I didn't realize you replied!! Just SDK tools. Sorry
I also found out that the file on step 2 is outdated. Use this one instead: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
ok I downloaded the SDK tool pack. and Installed it, opened the Terminal (on a MAC) Im not sure what to do from here, it said on the slide 3 (from the link originally you provided me regarding the flash) that I have to type "adb devices" and make sure my device is listed. but even before that, what do i type in the terminal?
I don't know if the android sdk and terminal part is the same on a mac since I have not done this on a mac but all you have to type is adb devices and your devices should come up (on windows).
yeah idk I have the SDK pack and TWRP and an open terminal. I'm going to call it a night lol, I'll be back on here tomorrow. Its overwhelming lol
I did decide to download Epsilon Project to use as a ROM afterwards. idk if thats what you do next after I flash this
Here are some images. After your device appears in fastboot devices (once adb recognizes your device and you "adb reboot bootloader") you do the fastboot flash recovery part. Once again, I have not done this on a Mac but I think you have to target that particular section in which platform-tools is installed first, then adb should run in terminal and your device should appear.
Found something that should help on droidforums.net:
Yes, it will display the current directory you're in before the $ sign. ~ means your home directory, or /Macintosh HD/Users/username/
cd = change directory
You have to change directory into the directory that adb is stored in, in order for Terminal to find the adb executable. Say you have adb in /Macintosh HD/Users/username/Android/tools/adb
You need to use "cd /Macintosh\ HD/Users/username/Android/tools/"
Then you will be able to use adb.
Here's the link if you want it: http://www.droidforums.net/threads/using-adb-and-terminal-on-a-mac.11989/
Sorry if you get too many notifications lol I guess this isn't wrong since it doesn't qualify as spamming.

Forgot to refresh again _-_ I guess the "cd" concept should solve your problem, if any. After you root (I don't even think you need root to flash a rom via recovery) you can install a compatible rom. Refer to the install instructions in the Rom's thread. :good:
ok, how we doing. not good for me lol. so i typed 'cd' and then the rest here is a pic with the result:

Do i have to do this step in order to use a custom rom?
No once you have a custom recovery you can do it from there. The only problem right now is getting adb to work on your mac. Read the thread in the most recent link I gave you. I'll look for another way to do this, probably with Odin.

No in the previous image you had "platform-tools" before the $ sign, which means (as of what I understand) that you have located adb in terminal; so if you type ./adb devices it should work. Do what you did in the image under and then type: ./adb devices
Your device has to be connected and you must have the motorola drivers installed in order for it to come up, too.
I think we're progressing now

Hello guys,
Sorry if this is redundant but I did search before making this post so feel free to edit or remove moderators.
I had root prior to last update 7.5.1. Lost root and I could not re-root using Qemu/Root Many/KFAide and I spent a lot of time playing with the CMD prompts. So I was curious and tried Root Master 1.3.6. Sure enough it worked for me in 1 MINUTE!!! So I am only posting this in case there are others out there like me. I found this post to be helpful since it had a lot of pics so I will not put up my own pictures:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783447
Otherwise, the my cliff notes of the install is:
Copy/transfer Root_Master_1-3-6.apk to any folder on Kindle via usb cable (assuming you installed drivers already, if not search forum)
Install/Open
Select Mulai Root
Popup with two choices will appear Root/Batal (cancel): Select Root
Another popup will show strange characters/Batal: Select Batal this time
You're Done!
Last step: Clean up by going to apps and press/hold root master to remove from device (it's no longer needed since you are rooted and I read it may contain some kind of script that sends your device information to someone bored, however the root itself is safe - I hope!)
Also, four common terms you'll see when you open apps that asks for root permission not covered in the thread above:
jangan tanya lagi - do not ask again
Perizinan - Allow
Tolak - reject
di izinkan xxxxxxxxxxxx dapatkan izin - authorized xxxxxxxxxxxx to get "root" permission (xxx is the name of the app you are opening)
I will post up my version of the file I've used but I believe the file in the thread above is also identical.
Thanks to all and this forum,
Nano out
P.S. Another solution working to removing the Special Offers Lockscreen Ads is to freeze it with Titanium Backup ($$) or ROM Toolbox Lite (free) both can be found on the Google Play Store:
For ROM Toolbox Lite: Open after install, select app manager, click on Kindle Special Offers, select Freeze, then Yes. I'm unsure what the advanced freeze is but my ads are gone and still gone after reboot so I'm a happy camper.
i also have 7.5.1 but stock. never been rooted. i downloaded this APK and followed the instructions... but it didn't successfully root it for me. so... now there's like a Perizinan rumah tangga app that i can't get rid in the app store.... so i'm factory resetting everything again hahaha i think it's malware

follow the unrooting part mentioned in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783447
this is the best method of rooting on 7.5.1:
http://akauntu.blogspot.com/2014/12/install-custom-rom-on-amazon-kindle_26.html
so i did follow both, the first link didn't do anything but load an app and hten it loaded an app that wouldn't go away even after factory reset. great.
secondly, i used the 'best method of rooting on 7.5.1' and the only difference i saw was using non-admin to run commandlines so that made some differences. but i'm not i still have root. the major issue is i can't reboot into fastboot... so that defeats the purpose since i can't downgrade to 7.2.3, which is needed to proceed.
any other tips?
according to a few root checker apps. i have root... but i just can't reboot into fastboot

The first link I posted was to remove that app installed from root master where is says unrooting and "1.Open "Perizinan rumah tangga."
As for the second link, you should follow the youtube videos as well as some of the info isn't mentioned in the text. You need to make sure the kindle fire drivers are installed properly when using adb and fastboot. One time they were fine for me for adb, but when I went into fastboot, they weren't properly installed. So, I uninstalled them in the device manager and replugged in the kindle and they worked properly.
But since root checker apps are saying you have root, adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader" should get you into fastboot mode. Then you run that other tool to downgrade.
when i run that command i get connection io timer error and thats it. it will only reboot into recovery but never fastboot. i'm tryjng to make or acquire a fastboot cable. the original kindle usb cable is a fastboot cable right? i have to find it not sure where i stored it

you don't need a fastboot cable for that method. I don't have one myself and have no issue.
when you do "adb devices", does a serial come up?
yes i can run adb devices no problem. i know how to adb kill-server and restart the devices as well so it is detected. i have drivers properly installed as a ADB device under device manager. i can adb reboot and even adb reboot recovery but i can't run adb reboot-bootloader or adb reboot bootloader
and adb shell gets me non-su user prompt but i can't su into the root access #. when i run adb shell su -c "whatever" i get:
[-] connect ui: Timer expired
and that's it. when i run bin4ry rooting i get permission denied i'm guessing on places where it needs to get into fastboot screens.
bought fastboot and now i can get fastboot only through poweron process. which is good! i've downgraded to 7.2.3

Root if you like to be hack !
So, I think I've managed to salvage my bricked Stylo, I somehow also managed to root my Fiance's LG G Stylo that's on the 6.0 update... this is a guide on how to flash a TWRP Recovery I made of a rooted LG G Stylo that is running Android 6.0 This can get you out of a brick or just give your spare phone root access.
Since I can't find any ways to fix this problem on the internet I'll post what I did here so hopefully I can get some other people out of deep water with their phone.
Stylo.zip​
I'm going to assume that if you are following these instructions you have already downloaded and extracted the .zip file named Stylo onto your desktop.
All of these files are in the Stylo folder, so you should only have to download Stylo.zip
Minimal ADB & Fastboot installer
LG Phone Drivers
TWRP Backup file
recovery.img
1. Install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.1_setup into the folder you extracted Stylo.zip in
(Install PhoneDrivers if you have not already)
2. Enable USB Debugging on your phone
(If you are boot looping, you should still be able to boot into the bootloader with
minimal adb fastboot just plug it in and let it do it's bootloop while you try
booting into the bootloader really quick, this may take some trial and error)
3. Launch MAF32.exe
(This is Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
4. In the window that pops up type:
adb devices
It should look like this:
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> adb devices
List of devices attached
LGMS6318bb1ce9a device
5. Next you will need to type:
adb reboot bootloader
Now, the powershell screen should look like this:
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> adb devices
List of devices attached
LGMS6318bb1ce9a device
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> adb reboot bootloader
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo>
6. Once you are in the bootloader type:
fastboot boot recovery.img
(If you opened the PowerShell window by holding shift and using the right click menu,
the recovery.img file should load on its own, your PowerShell window should now look something like this)
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> adb devices
List of devices attached
LGMS6318bb1ce9a device
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> adb reboot bootloader
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo> fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.367s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.380s
finished. total time: 0.379s
PS C:\Users\Hyperion\Desktop\Stylo>
7. Once TWRP boots up on your device you will need to navigate to Backup
Uncheck everything but boot
Start the backup process
(We are making a backup of boot
so we can take the name of the folder
it makes in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
and copy/paste that to the rooted backup file.
TWRP will create a backup of your
boot animation that contains your PHONE ID #
In my case it created a file named LGMS6318bb1ce9a )
8. Open your sdcard contents on your computer
navigate to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
Copy the name of the new folder that was created (Mine is LGMS6318bb1ce9a)
Open the Stylo folder on your Desktop \Desktop\Stylo\TWRP\BACKUPS
Paste the new folder name over the folder titled (Paste Here)
Overwrite the folder in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS that contains
the boot animation with the new folder from \Desktop\Stylo\TWRP\BACKUPS
9. If you are not in TWRP on your phone any more, repeat steps 3. - 6.
10. Once in TWRP click WIPE in the top right, and Swype to Factory Reset
(Unless your backup file is being loaded from Internal Storage)
11. Navigate to RESTORE in TWRP, find your Backup file in the /TWRP/BACKUPS directory
LEAVE EVERYTHING CHECKED!
(If you uncheck anything the phone will not be rooted upon restore of the backup)
(Alternatively you can uncheck Data and have a fresh install of 6.0 with no root.)
The rooted backup should be installing 4144mb worth of data.
I left a few apps on the desktop that I figured would help some people out
Hope this worked for you, getting root on these phones is a *****.

I know a site that has the QFIL files necessary to actually unbrick a hard bricked Stylo H631. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link them ..but I will tell you they charge 11.99USD. I'm hoping to have the $ to do it Friday...if I can...I'll give it a try and post findings here
Sent from my ROOTED LG-TP260 Thanks to Messi yet again!!!

I'm still waiting from someone in the comments from that site to confirm it's not a scam.
I need to find out the pin test spots on the h631/ms631... anyone know of a diagram or schematic floating around??? If so, I may have this figured out...don't want to poke around on my only board and make it completely useless

You mean a diagram of the emmc?

ya gotta check all the boxes possible after going into the MOUNT options when in TWRP. always before doing almost anything in TWRP. sometimes its persistant, sometimes not depending on device.

I can't seem to get my T-Mobile Stylo 5 to go into fastboot mode. Adb reboot bootloader just reboots the phone for me. Maybe a downgrade is required?? Also I just used platform-tools adb and fastboot. Build# PKQ1.190302.001
I have used ADB sideloaded android wear on my HW2 before Oreo update. All drivers have been set up and working previously. After Oreo, I have tried both my Window 10 Laptop and Windows 7 Laptop. I have enabled USB debug from the Watch. However, no device can be recognised by ADB. Can't see any android device in Device Manager. I have to manually install the new OS. What can I do ?
Have you re-enabled ADB Debugging on the watch?
I am able to push files via ADB After update fine.
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Also try the Windroid Tool. See if it can detect the watch by showing status 'Online"

Thank you very much for your help. Tried a couple of times on Windows 7 but not working. On Windows 10 finally worked. But when I try to sideload the wear OS 2.10, I was told the intall failed as it is a version downgrade. What can I do?
Ok, thats weird.
I haven't personally done any sideloading yet. But when I was comparing all the details with other peoples' posts, I noticed that even though my OS was 2.9, I also had March security patches installed. Maybe there is a check to see if going to 2.10 may result in downgrading of either the security patch or google play services version, and the system may not allow that.
