I just got my SNS yesterday and it's my first android phone (was previously using an LG cookie) First thing I did was try to root it, and I seemingly succeeded, or so I thought. It looks like it's rooted and the superuser apps there but I can't install apps using any of the guides I find or even update to 2.3.2 (keep getting and error 7 msg). When I try to install using APKInstaller it tells me it can't find the device, which I think is the problem.
I think the problem is that someway or another windows 7 64 bit stopped recognizing my phone as a Nexus S and now recognizes it as a portable device in device manager (There's also an Android Phone, with an Android Composite ADB interface) I used the SDK to install all the updates available including the google usb driver rev. 4. I tried updating the Portable device driver using the google usb driver but windows keeps it as a WPD Filesystem Volume Driver. Also I noticed when I checked to see if adb gave me a serial number for the phone using the cmd prompt commands in the rooting guides it comes up blank.
I used usbdeview to delete everything seemingly related to Android, but everytime I reconnect the phone it, installs the drivers for the portable device.
I need help to make windows recognize the phone as a nexus s again so I can update and install apps and games etc. If anybody out there can help i'll really appreciate it. Explain the steps to me as if you were talking to a child, leaving nothing out plz. Thanks for any assistance.
I live outside the US (no android market) and would hate to think I messed up and expense phone purchase in just one day
Not quite sure where to start. But my intuition tells me its the Windows 7 64-bit and drivers that's not playing along. You might want to google if other users are having trouble with W7 64-bit with Android drivers. Otherwise, find another computer and repeat the steps. If not, flash a custom ROM to see if that eliminates the problem. You haven't damaged your phone. Don't worry.
just install directly from android market website
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I assume you mean instal the update from the market (which I can't do because I don't have wifi)?
I managed to get the adb to list a device number after I installed java x32 & x64 bit. I still can't install apps or get the update to work, but I'll try unrooting and then rerooting my phone as see how that goes.
Oh, I haven't done the initial sign into gmail thing yet in case that makes any difference
Edit: god I feel stupid. I didn't realize that I had to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1 and then to 2.3.2. I did that an everything upgrade without any problems. Now just got to figure out how to install apk's and I'm golden
Edit 2: Ok, I figured everything out and now i'm up to date with updates and I can install apps and games. Oh Happy Day Thx for all the help
Has anyone figured out how to connect to their Note with ADB yet?
I turned on debugging but the darn thing still doesn't show up in the devices list.
For reference, I'm using the cable that came with the Note and I can transfer files successfully
Have you installed proper drivers or the Android SDK? If you get Android SDK for your pc, make sure open up the manager in there. Then download platform tools and tools. It should give you needed drivers and support for ADB & Fastboot(not sure if Samsung uses it).
Or you might be able to use Odin to do whatever you trying to do with ADB. Not sure though. Depends on what you trying to do.

I'm trying to play with some app deving, I like the logcat tools Eclipse provides.
I'm also trying to play with sqlite,
I updated my SDK to have the ICS and JB API's, I didn't think that ADB would have been significantly different than the honeycomb one I was using with my GB phone. I'll give it another try when I get back to my office on Thursday. I figured either I was doing something wrong, or I had something wrong on my Note when my Prevail works.
Thanks for the help
Well, I updated everything, made sure I have the latest ADB executable and dll's and still can't get it to work.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I can connect to my phone just fine, pull logcats, install test builds of APKs with Eclipse, everything.
My Note just doesn't show in the device list. I've made sure that adbd is a running service on the Note. Should I be using a different cable from the one that came with the system?
In case it matters, the only things I've done are to install CWM recovery and rooted using this method: rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Well, turns out I'm a complete idiot.
It helps to have the latest samsung drivers installed
I had given up on getting it to work, then installed Kies to do an update.....
once it installed new drivers, my Note suddenly started showing up in ADB's device list.
Here I thought I already had the latest drivers
I feel like such an idiot
I tried to post this in the "Beginners Guide for Rooting" but I do not have privileges. I am trying to root my new s3 on a mac so I am trying to follow the guidance in section one of the guide. However the links for samsung drivers are in an .exe format and the link to the java jdk files has expired. I downloaded the samsung drivers from the link and opened the (.exe) file and I attempted to install another version of the java jdk. When I connect Adam's casual the app recognizes my phone but I am unable to see it on my Mac through Finder. Am I ready to flash if the casual app can see my phone? Or do I need the osx compatible samsung drivers (not with a .exe filename) and a specific version of java jdk?
Thanks in advanced for any help. I tried to search for the answers but I have been coming up empty. Even though casual see's my phone, I'm still not sure if its ok to start flashing.

Did you download the samsung drivers in the link ( the .exe files) and install them on your mac? Also do you still have a copy of the java jdk files? The link in the "guide " is dead or the files have been moved. Thanks.
Mine did not show up in finder. I did have to download another program to interface with the phone. Just run Casuals and you will be fine.

If I remember correctly, you can't download the samsung drivers on a Mac. And no, sorry I don't have the files
There is no drivers for mac. The only thing that will show is a sdcard if you have one. You are good to use Casual.

Mine doesn't show the sdcard. I can use ADB but that's the only way I can communicate to my device over USB. I have't tried Casual.
Well I finally got home so I could use my Mac with my phone. Casuals worked great a couple of weeks ago as did adb. Now, I can't get either to work. I read that some are having issues with the usb ports on the newer MacBook Pros. I will do a little know testing and see if I can find a way to make it work post back. I tried rebooting, different cables, etc with no luck. If anyone knows anything, please chime in.

Okay, after a lot of digging, I finally figured out what I did. I take no credit for this, I found it on here in reply to a thread somewhere. I can't remember where as I usually view this site on my cell phone.
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
from a terminal. I forget if you have to reboot or not.
This will disable tethering, but you can now see your device via adb.
To renable tethering once you're done debugging, use
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
This is for EasyTether only, but I am sure that there could be another type of app that would do the same thing? If you could isolate the app, it should be as easy as replacing the EasyTether part of the command and running that. Good luck, I personally know how aggravating that things like this can be.
Greetings everyone!
I author mobile applications using Titanium SDK + Titanium Studio for Android. This morning, while trying to compile the latest APK of one of my projects, I encountered an error from the console indicating that ADB can't see my device. Here is the error:*"[TRACE] adb devices returned 0 devices/emulators"
I wondered if it was an issue with Titanium itself, so I ran ADB directly from the terminal and ran the following command:
zettageeklatform-tools$ ./adb devices
This returned no devices in the list. I SHOULD be seeing a Nexus 7, as that is what is connected to the system right now. I've tried two different cables, and checked the Android settings to verify that USB debugging IS enabled.
The system used to develop the mobile applications is: Mac Mini (i5 / 8GB ram / Mac OS X V 10.7.5)
I'm using the latest Android SDK (adt-bundle-mac-x86_64.zip) available from the Android development website.
I've tried rebooting both the Mac, and the Nexus 7. I've also done a factory-reset on the Nexus 7, and re-enabled USB debugging from the settings. I'm still encoutering the same problems.
Note that this worked fine a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure what's changed. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
ZettaGeek
Try using PDAnet drivers. They mostly fix these problems.

Hi,
I'm still using CD Receiver XC-HM82. There is a dedicated, quite old, application Control App which Pioneer released some time ago. After installing the app, when a CD receiver is discovered the app unfortunately downloads some data needed for managing this particular model.
Recently I reinstalled android system and when I try downloading those data it says "download failed". The reason might be that there are some issues on Pioneer server side or they've simply stopped supporting this device.
I have still one phone where this application is fully installed and working fine. I think that the data (downloaded from Pioneer servers to manage XC-HM82) are being store at: /data/user/0. However, I haven't rooted this phone.
The question. How can I retrieve data from /data/user/0 and what's maybe even more important can I create APK which will include all data needed for managing XC-HM-82 so I could still use this application to manage my CD receiver?
Thanks for any tips
I'll answer to my own post for users who might use it.
1.Turn on Developers option in your phone
2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging as Root or Root via ADB
3. Check all aps you have installed
adb shell pm list packages -f -3
4. To backup base apk (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-PIpLM2ikeE7WRs7X2TlOFg==/base.apk pioneer.apk
5. To backup data of the application (including packet for controlling particular model)
adb backup -f pioneer.adb -apk jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
6. You should received two files: pioneer.apk and pioneer.adb
7. To restore base apk (in my case)
adb install pioneer.apk
8. To restore data of your app (in my case)
adb restore pioneer.adb
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
Eventually, you should have a feel backup of you app with data folder.
This procedure has been created based on this source page:

Gregory, thank you very much for your post!
First of all, I learned that I could stop checking my home network/router/settings etc.. to find the cause of the failing download.
I have the bluray player Pioneer MCS-FS232, with the controlapp working on my tablet.
I want to transfer the app to my phone.
I followed your steps:
Pulled the apk and backed up the data
I re-installed the app with adb install, and I restored the data with the commands above. Device report success after restoring data.
Unfortunately the app persists in asking for a download (also after restarting device). I tried also on another device, same result.
Could it be that the data restore command do need more specifications?
Thanks in advance for your reply...
Ptr
PS: the full command for step 4 would be (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-HjWUmVnui7FpTk0qKpQ3Ow==/base.apk pioneer.apk
you might want to add
adb pull
to your text in step 4
Thanks PtKt for your post and correction regarding "adb pull" missing.
There's no problem with base apk:
Pioneer ControlApp for Android - APK Download
Download Pioneer ControlApp apk 4.1.0 for Android. ControlApp is an application for corresponding Pioneer Products control.
apkpure.com
The thing is the data files (downloaded from Pioneer servers when it was still possible). What's the version of system: on a tablet and phone?
Recently, I realized that this method works on Android 9-11 but not on Android 7 cause there's a different folder structure. It recognized CD receiver but crashes when trying to connect to it.
Hello Gregory,
1. first tried it on my phone (where I had the app, but deleted it ( ). Android 11. This is the taarget-device. Not rooted. APK file installed with adb succesfully
2. when this did not work I tried on a tablet (rooted Asus transformer tf701t with timduru android 7). installed APK, date reports succes, but no working app.
3. device where the app works is Huawei tablet with android 10 (not rooted)
4. My computer is an old IMAC with Ununtu 20.4 lts
I tried to open the pioneer adb file, only partly accessible and only 5 lines.
I checked Androi/data/jp.pioneer.avsoft (etc), on my android 7 tablet, there is a map ' files' but without files.
tbc, Ptr
I'm not so advanced in this matter, but up to Android Version it's about folder /data/data/jp.pioneer... (and so on). You can't access it without root. Maybe you can do that via TWRP on Android 7 on later version it's an issue in easy way. Other solution is to use Magisk to manually copy needed files.
I'm not sure if referring to the system version different files were downloaded from Pioneer's serves. Unfortunately, I don't know.

Aiai.... after a few days of efforts my conclusion was that you need root access to your source device.
And then I re-read your solution and I saw that I overlooked the last part of point 2 of your solution....
"2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging or Root via ADB." I did allow USB debugging but I missed 'as Root or Root via ADB'
OK, it is a pity, I'm not going to root my Android 10 tablet where the working app lives. Meanwhile I learned a lot and that's always fun....
Thank you very much for your work, if I come across another solution I will report here.
Ptr
Great. You're very welcome.
Hi guys. I have problem with this Control App from Pioneer too.
On my Android 11 phone is after starting the app visible only the loading screen or a black screen and nothing happend more.
On the old tablet with Android 5 run this app, but it want to download more files from the server, but that is not possible yet beacuse of severs shutdown? (it works well two months ago).
Can you please give me a advice how to run this app on Android 11 and share the downloaded files for my Android 5 tablet.
Because of this is using of my XC-HM72 very limited.
Thank your for every advice (My devices are not rootet).

Hiya,
You won't download needed files (graphics or some scripts customized particularly for your XC- HM72) because there are no files on Pioneer's servers, anymore. If you don't have any device with fully working app you have to ask anyone who has it still working to export needed files (usually as "adb" file) for you then you just import it by a command:
adb restore exported_file_name.adb

and that's all.
Nevertheless, since Android 8 I think that the folder with user data files has a different location, so mentioned method should work for Android 8 - 11 (I haven't tested it on 12). That's all what I can suggest you.
gregory_cooky could you please share you date with adb file?Thank you

Thank you for the file, but still without success. I tried adb restore pioneer.adb and on my android 5 tablet and still want to download files from innactive servers. The same I have done on my phone with android 12 and there is still the freeze or black screen :-( What now? Thanks

I'm not much surprised about Android 5 cause it mightn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have any other news for you. I'm not even sure if my files were suitable for the model of yours. Further steps you should do by yourself. Maybe you'll find a solution and provide it for someone else who has the same CD Receiver as yours.
I've spend a lot of time trying to run the app for my old, but still well performing XC-HM71.
Luckily I've found old Titanium Backup (playstore) backups from 2015 and 2017. I successfully restored the app and settings on my forgotten redmi note 3 pro as root and old android were needed. If anyone is interested and want to try again, both backups are attached. Older app version is 3.5.0, never is 4.1.0. I'll recommend to start with older version, then restore just the newer app without data. It worked for me. Good luck.
But I've remembered the app a bit differently. Seems to be a bit useless, same can be done with remote itself.
Its just a bit faster to add internet radio stations, as browsing on unit itself is a bit pain in the backside.
XC-HM71 is a base version, no Bluetooth, Spotify or other currently standard addons, so really the Pioneer app do not have any real advantages.
Btw, I've had no luck with adb files from @gregory_cooky.
How to control my vsx 527 with control app? Can someone please help
Hi
I need files for Pioneer XC-HM81.
Can someone please help.
Good news!
I finally managed to transfer the needed Pioneer ControlApp data from my -non rooted- tablet (Huawei M5, android 10) to my -also non rooted- telephone (Samsung Galaxy A40, Android 11), based on gregory_cooky’s procedure in post 2 of this thread.
I tried it half a year ago (see above, my post 3) and gave up.
But a renewed attempt this week, learned me that I overlooked a crucial element: both devices need to have “USB debugging enabled” to operate the adb commands from my computer successfully.
Obviously, I misinterpreted step 2 in gregory_cooky’s procedure.
After enabling ‘developers option’ on both devices, you need to go to enable USB debuging . Without that, your devices are only partly accessible from your computer and adb commands will give error messages.
In detail: go to settings, scroll down towards about tablet or info telephone, look for software and then ‘buildnumber . Tap 7 times on buildnumber. this activates developers option. Go back to settings, you can now find developers option as the last point under settings. Tap developers option, enable it, look then for USB debugging and enable it. Do this on both devices.
Connect your source device (=device with a working ControlApp) to your computer. Open a terminal screen on your computer and type adb devices.
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
P15YC3E10080000000007FC1881C0 device
Then proceed as described by gregory_cooky in post 2.
Be sure to have your source files (ControlApp apk and data) in the root of your home directory, otherwise adb cannot find it. Be aware this type of commands is capital sensitive, so if you ask for Pioneer.adb but the name of the file is pioneer.adb the computer comes with No such file or directory.
I use the ControlApp for my Pioneer MCS-FS232, which I can now easily operate from my arm chair. Volume, switch from CD to Aux or FM, etc.
Peter
It appears ControlApp has finally given up.
Looking if anyone has perhaps a copy of the source files.
ControlApp downloads the files from the following URL: http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/Wr5Ch9makajA/smartphone_app/common/controlapp/sma/SmaHtml_14.zip
Note that this is a HTTP URL, so can easily be faked for the device, however need the ZIP. Used to have it, now it's gone
hello,
would anyone have a working adb for Pioneer X-HM72 please?
