[Q] How to install Market ?

Sorry to be a noob about this but could someone post a how to install on a new Apad?
I've installed superuser already which I assume is working??
This is one of the new IMX 515's Android 2.2 800 mhz tablets with 10.1 flash etc.
Where do I go from here to get the Market installed?
Sorry folks but I'm kind lost.
Thanks for your help.

I got one of those 9.7" iMX515's and I have the same question...

If you need the market installed search the forums for market.apk.
Please use the forum search feature before posting next time.
Have any more questions, msg me on gtalk at androidsamurai.

I managed to get part way there. Basically I followed the instructions here (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...tall-instructions-imx515-cnddu.html#post37829)
and here (original post: http://www.padbbs.net/thread-2909-2-1.html).
I had problems getting the adb to work on my Mac, but finally managed to figure that one out:
Download the sdk and unzip in a folder of your choice.
Set your slate to USB debugger "on" and plug in to your mac. I think I didn't actually mount my slate when I did this (neither memory was mounted on my desktop when I executed the process), but have a go and see if there is a difference in adb behaviour.
Run the Unix executable called "android" in the "tools" sub-folder. Then run the "adb" executable.
These should both open up their own terminal window. Then open a new terminal window. The fastest way to insert adb commands is by dragging the adb file into the window and follow up with your adb command.
Start off with "adb shell", which gives you a hash (sorry, my keyboard won't give me the sign) as line start. Then start using adb command lines (drag drop adb into the window, followed by "push", followed by drag-dropping the file you want to push into the terminal window, followed by typing where you want it to go, e.g. /systems/app.
Do this for all the files mentioned and you should be there.
Now, this is as far as I got myself! When I restarted, I had the market app in my app list, but when I start the google sign in service, I continuously get the message "can't connect to server", and I have no idea how to get passed that point. SO suggestions for that one will be welcome!

I have a mac. How do I install a firmware without recovery mode? I don't have recovery mode, doesn't exist on my unit

[Q] Installing ADB

Hello,
I've been trying to install adb and root my nexus s. But I'm having great difficulty to do this, I have updated USB drivers, modified path, and done everything that I found on the net. but when I open cmd and type "adb" I just get. 'adb is not a known command or batch file..."
Does anybody have some ideas to installing and getting adb to work?
Thanks a lot!

Sounds like the file isn't in the right folder, if you downloaded the sdk recently read the text file, theres additional steps you need to take before accessing adb

If its the same issue I had I believe in the tools folder theres a text file that tells you adb is now located in the platform tools folder or something to that effect

ADB file is now located in platform-tools folder, copy the adb file and the two files associated with the adb file and paste them in your tools folder. If you don't know the two associated file, just try pasting the adb file in the tools folder and you will get a prompt that will tell you which files

You need to have AndroidSDK installed or atleast have fastboot executable.
Once you have that, you can either set the path in environment variables or just go to that path using command line and use the fastboot command.

You should follow this instruction, it's very helpful.

But that is for the 4G version, is the same thing?

I just rooted my first Android device the day before yesterday. One problem I ran into is that the Android SDK now installs to "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk" instead of "C:\android-sdk" like most instructions give.
These are the instructions I followed to root my phone: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide (Sorry for the lack of a link. I just found out I'm not able to post links because I'm new )
They helped me out a lot but it took a lot of time and concentration to get it done. Just keep in mind where Android SDK installs and change the paths to the new path when you need to.

[Q] I need help with my Nexus 5 with no OS on it.

I screwed up trying to restore and now it says the phone is not rooted and has no OS installed on it. I still have access to the custom recovery if that helps. I have tried using ADB and Fastboot but it does not seem to be working. I need to know asap because it is for my dad and he travels a lot. He needs a phone. Please any help is appreciated.

1.Flash twrp
2. Go to adb sideload
3. In the terminal type adb sideload filename.zip
The ROM will flash and that's it.
If you need it back to stock just google "nexus 5 factory image" then download the latest one and follow the instructions given by google.
Also are you running linux (which distro) or windows just so I know what to tell you if that doesn't work

First of al: It's best to not use Windows 8 since there have been some driver incompatibilities and I'm not sure if they have been completely fixed yet.
Install 'Universal Naked Driver' and 'Minimal ADB and fastboot'. Both can be found here on xda.
Download the latest factory image for hammerhead from Google website. Extract the downloaded file twice and copy over everything to your 'Minimal ADB and fastboot' install dir.
Double click the flash-all.bat while your phone is in bootloader mode.
This will COMPLETELY reset your phone (all personalbdata will be wiped). Only the bootloader will stay unlocked.

When trying step 3, it says cannot read sideload.

The command is not "sideload filename.zip" but
"adb sideload filename.zip"
Did you enter it correctly?

What does the terminal say as an error? And are you running Linux, Mac, or windows?

Yes that is exactly how i entered it but with the file name of course. Although I did try your method but i don't see any file called flash-all.bat.

So just gonna ask again, what message did you get in the terminal?

Did you extract it twice? There should be a tgz file at some point... this one can be extracted as well (using 7-zip for example)

okay nevermind my last comment. Now it says fastboot is not recognizable internal or external command. Press any key to exit

After you copied all the files into the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder the flash-all.bat should be in the same directory as fastboot.exe. Is this the case?

Try adb kill-server then (I'm a little rusty with windows) su adb start-server

Okay after I run the flash-all.bat, it just hangs at waiting for device

Install the 'Universal Naked Driver', reboot your computer and try again.
Again: The phone has to be in bootloader mode (you have to see the green android)

I've decided to take the loss on this one. I just do not have time for this. I'll just go get it replaced. Thank you so much for the help. I'll definitely use XDA for more of my android problems in the future. Thank you again and to everyone who replied to this thread.

Install this(fastboot + adb): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Download the file for Nexus 5: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Extract the file
Connect phone to pc in bootloader mode
Double click in flash all script
Wait for it to finish

ofc... you need to ENABLE sideload on twrp itself..

Let's keep it on topic guys,

[Completed] ADB Syntax

I am trying to push a cm7.zip file to my Atrix 4g which had a failed recovery. I have SDK installed with ADB working. ADB works fine.
I can look at installed files, List devices but when I try to push it can not find my zip file or even on fastboot it cannot find my image file.
Curiously i can push the CM7 folder after it is extracted. Yes when I open a cmd window I am in the platform-tools folder.
I follow all the guides. I seems to be an operator (me) problem?
Thanks

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
An example of what command you have tried would have been nice.
When I am pushing files to any of my devices, I have to be sure of the destination location, as it can change across devices, and even between OS'es/recovery. So unfortunately I cannot give a one-size-fits-all example (like "adb push /path/to/local/cm7.zip /sdcard/").
For specific help, please create an account (so you can post in other forums), and ask in the following thread:
> Motorola Atrix 4G > Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > CM7 Q&A
Hope this helps, and good luck!
