[Q] ADB or TOOLs for Linux based PC

hi,
does anyone know if there is adb type program or adb toolset that wil work on a ubuntu based distro PC, I killed my wimdows machine, completely destroyed boot loader info, no recovery will work, but i did manage to install zorin ubuntu ,. so i have this and a chromebook.,
I have a new oneplus one that i have to go to work on soon, and I have a nexus 7 and a nexus 10, the wugfresh tool may run in wine, but i guess they still need the sdk installed.
anyone has any experience of linux and adb or similar linux program i would really appreciate any advise you can offer ,
y
thanks
stuart

You can find some on Android Development and Hacking forum. I use QtADB mostly though, because has versions for linux and Windows and it's a File Manager with support of adb. Take a look here:

you can
search on google and get better result

What and get a bunch of YouTube video reviews! Read the answer above, that's what a helpful forum member does. That's the point of a dedicated topic forum, did you stop to think that i may have been googling and researching for weeks and get a bit nonplussed with all the conflicting opinions and techniques, that a dedicated Dev forum would be the place to seek advice?
Really if go google it is the best you can do, why even bother replying, your not talking to a schoolkid but a fellow member of the forum.

Thanks very much I read up on Qtadb and it sounds like just the thing, I run xubuntu on chrome and a windows Laptop and so a dual platform for generic devices would suit me just fine

Maybe yes. There are Android Custom ROMs which looks like Windows 8 phone interface.
Just search if there's such a ROM compatible for your tab.
If you don't want to flash ROMs, try Windows 8 launchers available in Google Play Store.
(If you had asked for installling Windows 8 OS as in Lumia, there's no way .)

[Completed] [Q] Asus T100 TAF and Wifi

Hello,
I need your help guys.
I installed ubuntu on my Asus T100 TAF using the magic stick http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...opment/live-asus-t100-ta-magic-stick-t3091481
Grub and all the booting stuff is ok however.
Wifi is not Working !!!
After looking through this google+ community https://plus.google.com/communities/117853703024346186936
Kernel 4.1 was posted through the community and I installed it hoping my Wifi would work. Nothing. Not working
After, I saw that someone with the same computer than mine posted a Kernel version that would make wifi work.
Here's the link to the github: https://github.com/pinkflozd/T100TAF_kernel/
The thing is that I have absolutely no clue how to install this. It's an uncompiled kernel.​Could you please assist me on the subject ?!
More info:
Before arriving to that point, I tried installing brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt and brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.bin according to https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/establishing-wi-fi-connectivity-on-the-t100/
But, no sign of wifi connection
According to someone on the google+ community, the right driver for my computer is brcmfmac43340.bin, but I have no clue on how to find the .txt(nvram file)
Also, sound is not working but the previously posted uncompiled kernel apparently fixes all the previously mentioned problems.
Heres the actual Google+ Posting of the kernel version for my asus t100taf, its the second post.https://plus.google.com/112460475763080321634/posts​
All help would be appreciated. thank you very much !!

Symbol MC7090 Need Android ROM

Hi All,
I have a Symbol/Motorola MC7090 it's currently running Windows Mobile 5.0 with messaging and security feature pack.
I cannot connect via Wifi and I cannot get the barcode scanner to work.
It was used by a developer to test there apps, I was told that it was reset back to factory specs.
Has anyone got a ROM so that I can put Android on this??
Best Regards

I hate to revive this post, but I have the same sort of question. Please let me know if I need to start a new thread. In my case, I have two ROMs from "Zebra" (who seems to have taken over this part of that company). Mine is also the MC40, but the question I have is what do I need to do to essentially convert this from a Windows 7 CE device, to an Android device. I have the drivers for both the Win version and the Android version. I also have 3 of the Android devices and 2 of the Win devices. The model numbers are exactly the same, only the OS is different. Im doing this for the company I work for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Completed] Trouble flashing recovery.img onto Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T705)

Hello everyone!
I'm new here so if i make any mistakes or this is in the wrong place then I apologise!
So I recently got my hands on the WileyFox Swift which is my first real experience of CyanogenMod (I say real experience because my SO got the OnePlus One so I have had a little play but not much) and so far it has been excellent! I have been using it for less than a week and I am completely besotted.
Anyway, I decided that I was sick of using the Samsung brand of Android on my Tab S 8.4 and I wanted a lot more control and customisation options and I was delighted to see that there is a stable version of CyanogenMod for my version of the Tab S.
I am following the CyanogenMod guide for my Tablet on their website (I'm not allowed to post links yet) and am trying to "install"(?) a TWRP recovery on there so that I can use it to flash the CM Rom. However the cmd process I am using to "install"(?) this recovery image is either failing during the protocol initialisation or it is hanging there and not doing anything.
I have tried a number of things (changing USB ports - I'm not using a hub btw, using zadig.exe to install different USB drivers, rebooting - god the amount of reboots, enabling USB debugging...) but none of them have proved successful.
I have had a look around the internet and there's a high chance I'm looking in the wrong places but it seems as though nobody has tried doing this so i'm completely stuck. Is there an alternative way of loading the recovery image onto the Tab S that doesn't require unnecessarily (?) root the machine?
Again I'd like to apologise if I'm way off the mark with this post, this is my first time so be gentle...
EDIT: Should mention that I'm running Windows 10 Home Edition. 64-bit.
