I am trying to install Calyx OS on pixel 4a. I am new to this and have hit several snags in the process but am currently stuck and can not find anyone who has posted a similar problem with solution. I am installing using a microsoft surface pro running windows 10. I have adb and flashboot in the same folder as sunfish-factory-8.2.8 (from calyx website, not unzipped) and the device-flasher from the calyx website. I have updated the google USB driver and am able to unlock the device and find it with fastboot devices command. However, when I run the device-flasher and follow the steps (It seems you are actually not expected to have the device unlocked when starting), I get an error that says " 'powershell' is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " I have repeated the process on another older windows device running windows 7 and got the same error message. Is this a problem with the device-flasher or something with my devices and what is the process to complete installation? Thanks.

It looks like it runs a powershell script. I don't think Windows 7 comes w/ Powershell by default. It used to be a closed source install on Microsoft's site but it looks like they made it open source and now release it on Github.

Thank you for the help. The screenshot is from my surface pro 4 which has powershell. My older laptop may not have had powershell. I think in looking at another OS, that a script is needed to temporarily set the PATH or some sort of attribute so that powershell can be accessed by the executable file. I couldn't acuatlly figure out how to do this. So instead I loaded Graphene which has a surprisingly easy online set up. I haven't gotten to use it much to see if it is actually good but I could at least get it running on the phone.

Fear not, in this tutorial, you will learn on how to install a linux shell on your Windows OS!
To install a linux shell on Windows, there's a few solutions solutions that I usually prefer:
Msysgit
Cygwin
Powershell
In this tutorial, Msysgit is the program that will be installed as apart from giving you a linux shell, it gives you access to do git related things(clone a repo, fork repo) which is a very good plus
So, here's it, we'll install a linux shell on our Windows OS and have fun with it later on
Msysgit Installation:
1. Click here and download the latest version of msysgit(The latest version of the time of writing is 1.8.0 http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.8.0-preview20121022.exe&can=2&q=)
2. Open the installer and you will see something similar to this and click Next to continue
3. After that, you will be shown the gpl license as per shown below and click Next to continue
4. You will be prompted the location to install msysgit at. Click Next to continue
5. You will be prompted for additional settings, click Next to continue.
6. You will be prompted for the startup menu, click Next to continue.
7. You will be prompted for the path environment, select Use Git Bash only and click Next to continue.
8. You will be prompted for the line ending adjustment. Select Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings and click Next to continue.
9. The installer will install the required files.
10. The installation has finished! Untick ReleaseNotes.rtf and click Finish to end the installation.
How to use:
1. Right click on an empty space at your desktop and click Git Bash.
2. Type your linux "hackish" commands!
The command that is used in the first screen shot is ls -la(directory listing with the file permissions of each file).
There's a lot of commands that you can play with, like echo, cat, uname, which, grep, sed, and many many more!
NOTE #1: For the best compatibility, cygwin would be preferred as it has a very complete set of linux commands built-in but Msysgit is less hassle to setup and it allows you to mingle around with Git once the setup is done which is a very good thing
NOTE #2: Msysgit is not preferred as a shell to create anything advanced like roms or kernels as the features that are available at mysysgit is rather limited(but it is enough for most users like us ).
There will be more tutorials which are related to Git and Linux will be made in the future, so read up fast and stay tuned for more contents! :fingers-crossed:
What is This?
Yes I know there are tons of drivers Installers around but this is more..
This is a Standalone version of the drivers installer from the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit.
--DRIVERS--
There are a selection of driver packages you can install to suit all devices (google, cwm universal, samsung and oneplus). There is also lots of help and information on what to do if the drivers don't work properly. A test routine/checker is available which will attempt to detect the plugged in device (and reboot to fastboot mode and back on google/nexus devices) to verify the drivers are working. Tools are also included to remove unwanted drivers if a fresh start is needed.
--ADB/FASTBOOT--
The Adb/Fastboot installer (Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36) can install System-Wide (for all Users on the PC) or for the Current User Only. This is a very simple installer and means you do not have to download the complete SDK from google. You can also easily open a command prompt to send commands to your device.

Changelog:
1.0.3 - Added adb/fastboot latest version check at startup and download if needed
1.0.2 - Added command prompt option to menu
1.0.1 - Fixes to adb/fastboot installer
1.0.0 - Initial release
Mark.
**RESERVED**
Hey there. Thought I might ask here.
Recently updated to 7.1.1 on my Nexus 5x and now fastboot is not working. Have spent most of the day trying everything I can find on here and installing or uninstalling drivers on both my laptop and desktop with no joy.
Tried all the options within your software but no joy. Adb works ok but fastboot just will not work.
I realise this is not an issue with the software but wondering if you may know of something else to try.
36 hours now on an unrooted phone is the first time in years
Thanks
Just in case this is some use to you with your Toolkit the workaround for the fastboot issue was sorted as shown in the post below.

Thanks I will add the google kedacom drivers as an option in the installer.

Hey Guys,
I got a little bored with this quarantined that has happened and wanted to figure out a way to boot windows... (past windows xp) on android. I did some research, downloaded windows 7 and windows 10 ISO's and plopped them into Limbo (x86 emulator) and the apps just crash when I run them. Or if adjust ram to be around 1 GB, windows 7/10 boot logo would show but nothing would ever come of it - trying to boot into the installer. But I can say that I was able to boot into Windows 10 Installer and install the OS, but it fails with Post Installations Methods - After Getting Device Ready Part. I was able to get Windows 7 successfully installed and running as well and its running oddly very well for Full System Emulation of an Intel CPU on an Arm based CPU.
Note* For windows 10, I am aware of windows 10 woa and have the ISO file from UUP. I just couldn't get it running. So, windows 10 x64 will be emulated. Windows 7 will be emulated as well.
So, I figured out my own path to get them to boot using QEMU but this can get quite complicated than just booting using Limbo. But it works for me and I am just doing it cause I can and there is no actual purpose to using it lol.
Note** I am using the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (US Model - Snapdragon 865) - Model: SM-G973U1
Note*** You can try to setup virtmanager, but I could not get it connected to Libvirt so everything is done through terminal.
Step's
Download - Termux (terminal emulator) from google play
Download - Andronix, I am using the Ubuntu XFCE Modded OS. It probably works on the non modded, but I'm lazy and don't wanna do extra work to setup up the OS if its already done for me and they do a good job.
Once You are booted into the OS that was packaged
Terminal Commands - Phone side
Step 1: vncserver :0 -geometry 1920x1080 -localhost no
Step 2: (optional - I don't want to type the majority of the commands on a 7 inch phone display, so I set up a vncserver and vnc from my laptop): From laptop, download vncviewer, get ip address of device, sign into the vncserver.
Once inside of the Ubuntu XFCE desktop - open terminal
Step 3: Download Windows 10 x64
Or Windows 7 x64 (I'm not going to provide download links)
Step 4optional - I like to keep things somewhat organized) mkdir VM/Windows/ ... then cd VM/Windows/
Step 5: Move iso files to directory... it just makes terminal commands nicer to look at
Step 6: sudo apt-get install qemu-system
Step 7 (make hd - mine set to 32GB): qemu-img create -f raw windows.img 32G
Step 8 (using windows 7): qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu core2duo -cdrom windows7.iso -boot order=d -drive file=windows.img,format=raw -m 2G
Once Installation is Complete - The CD will constantly try to reboot so control-c in terminal
Step 9: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu core2duo -boot order=d -drive file=windows.img,format=raw -m 2G

Again there is no practicality to this, it just a fun little experiment.

Just tried today, worked great! Windows 10 transfer to Pixel 6 Pro - 150gb in 15 minutes, much faster than MTP!
No errors or issues in Window 10, the window did read as non-responsive during the transfer but I assumed it was doing its thing and left it alone.
Only suggestion would be some sort of progress indicator, maybe that would stop the program from being "unresponsive"?
Thanks for your work, very easy to use!

Hi!
Is root adb server planned to be implemented?
I was just looking for a quick way to copy a folder from adb TWRP but when I tried to use this app there is the phone icon with a red cross (see picture) and nothing happens by clicking.
Through CLI instead I was able to copy the desired folder.

I also found the same error for Samsung Galaxy M20 and unable to access files
@Azata
I hope this message finds you. First of all, thank you for developing this program! It has been immensely helpful for me in copying files to and from my device. I find that transfers via ADB are much faster and more reliable than using MTP protocol.
One thing I would like to suggest, I think it would be much better if the file picker interface could remember location of the last folder, as it always defaults to the application folder root where ADBFileExplorer.exe is located.
Also, it would be helpful if we could select multiple folders to copy at the same time. Currently, the file picker interface only lets you choose one folder at a time, and holding Ctrl whilst left-clicking does not select multiple folders.
Would it be possible to implement root? It does not trigger the root-prompt and simply says "permission denied"..
Could someone please post a step by step tutorial on how to use this?
I'm trying to run on a mac with m1 but having issues with PyQt5 installation. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Tried installing/re-installing Python, but it's still not working.
I tried installing a "virtual android phone/system" in virtualbox, for that i used blissos - https://blissos.org/
When performing the installation it always ends with the same error, i'm doing the same steps as people on youtube but for them it works..
Any help is welcome... or if you know other virtual android os'es please share them, but not things like androidprojectx86 because this one is full of google spyware.
See the error:
