Is dePixel8 Still Relevant/working for Verizon Locked Pixels? - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

I have a Verzion OEM locked Pixel 3. I didn't actually know that until about 20 minutes ago when I realized the OEM Unlock toggle was greyed out. I tried using dePixel8 which is supposed to be able to OEM unlock Verizon phones. Well I downloaded dePixel8 and I should mention that when i downloaded it Windows had no idea what type of file it was, so i just added the .exe extension. I put the program into it's own folder, and as the instructions said I opened a terminal/command prompt from within that folder, and tried the first adb command, which didn't work, it said adb wasn't a recognized command. So I did what it told me not to do and I moved the dePixel8 folder into my adb folder, and then opened a command prompt from in the adb folder. I enetered the listed commands which worked, but then on the last command: adb shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8 I get the error saying that its a directory and i couldn't run it. So does anyone know what's going on? Does dePixel8 even work or did i just waste about an hour trying to run something that deosn't even work anymore?

Just so you're clear, ADB doesn't depend on the software version on your phone at all. It is simply a diagnostic tool to send commands to any Android phone.
Make sure that when you run ADB, you run it from a command prompt in the folder where ADB actually is. Holding down shift and control inside the ADB folder will allow you to 'open a command prompt here' in the folder, which will let you send commands as per normal.
If you get a 'device not connected' error, that's your USB drivers not installed properly, however since you've had it work once I'm guessing that they will be fine.
You cannot simply run ADB from any command prompt. You must run it from a command prompt in the folder where it exists. Fastboot is exactly the same.
Good luck!

Unlocked bootloader

I have my Samsung note 3, and it will never be unlocked. So i was thinking about moving to this. Is the Verizon edition unlocked for custom roms?

It doesn't come unlocked, but you can unlock it. That's why are a lot of us are on this phone. I had an S5 ordered, but decided against it, when I saw there wasn't any progress being made on it. I cancelled my order, bought my M8, and haven't looked back. Give me an unlocked bootloader, or give me death.
You can S-OFF (which unlocks bootloader) & root it immediately after getting it.
I came from a locked Galaxy S4 and have to say this phone is snappier than an iPhone & as unlockable as a door thats compatible with all keys ;D. Love love loveeee this phone and highly recommend it! Go for it!
I unlocked mine the moment I got home with it, no OTA update required as some people have said to do before unlocking it & as far as I've seen no ones had an actual "Oh no! They made it impossible to unlock like Sammysung!" moment.
Ive tried a for the last two days to root my htc m8..but i can not get it to work...tried htc unclock tried setting up adb...but the first gives me an mid error and the second does not recognize my phone...i did install the newest update before i tried to s-off....any help would be great...

What that guy above me said, if you using Windows make sure you right click+shift in the platform tools directly then see if it shows up with adb devices, if not check your drivers.

HTCDEV unlock doesn't work for the Verizon variant. To s-off just follow this step by step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708628
PRO TIPS: Let's say that your adb and fastboot files are located in C:\Program Files\Android. Add this directory to your system path by pressing the Windows key and typing "environment". After a few letters you'll see an option called "Edit the System Environment Variables". Click on this option. The system properties windows will open to the Advanced tab. Click the Environment Variables button. In the System Variables field you'll see a variable called Path. Click on it and choose edit. In the variable value field you'll see a list of paths separated by semi colons. We want to add the path of your adb and fastboot files to the system Path variable so that adb and fastboot commands can be executed anywhere. For the example location I used above you would add the following to the end of the list:
;C:\Program Files\Android
To test, open a command prompt and type "adb". This should launch adb with no parameters. Now you can use adb and fastboot commands anywhere. When you download the firewater script file, you can just leave it in the Downloads directory. If you use Chrome you could click the arrow next to the file and choose "show in folder". Then shift+right click an empty portion of the Downloads directory window and choose "open command window here" (you can also shift+right click on folders icons to accomplish this). Should be easy to s-off now.
NOTES:
*Once adb is setup issue the command "adb devices" to ensure your phone is recognized. The first time you will get a popup on your phone asking if you want to allow the PC adb access. Make sure you check "always allow".
*Before you issue the "su" command wait about 30 seconds to allow WeakSauce to root the phone after reboot. If you get an error saying "su not found" it's because WeakSauce has not yet rooted the phone. Wait 10 seconds and try again.
*When you issue the "su" command wake your phone's display and look for a SuperSu request. Allow it obviously.
*It's possible that the process may fail. If it does just try again. If it keeps failing try a different USB 2.0 port. Also make sure you're using the best USB cable that you have. The one that came with the phone should work.

Try 'adb kill-server' then issue 'adb start-server' then try 'adb devices'. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port. If still no joy try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work try restarting the Mac, restarting the phone, spinning around in an office chair three times, and blowing into a Nintendo cartridge. If that doesn't work I don't know what else to suggest besides trying it on a different computer or maybe in Windows. I've never had an issue with ADB so if somebody else has any ideas for Frausbite77 please chime in.
Edit: I googled this Mac ADB guide. I don't know if it really matters, but it says to have ADB/fastboot in the /usr/bin directory. Check it out. There's a script file and when run it installs the Android SDK tools to the appropriate folder. Also check the comments. Somebody else has probably had the same problem as you:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...-mac-os-x-send-commands-your-htc-one-0151178/
Edit 2: After reading a user's comment that the script was broken I looked at the script and it was, in fact, broken. I fixed it. Follow the guide but use this zip instead:

That's the proper command line for using Adb on a Mac. It won't work without using ./ before the command.

My bad. I should have mentioned that to execute a file in a Unix-like operating system you need to enter the full or relative path if it's not in your $Path environment variable. That's why you needed to add a './' before the command. The './' indicates that the file is in the current directory. That's probably why that guide recommended putting adb and fastboot in /usr/bin. If you want to fix it so that adb and fastboot commands can be run from anywhere open a terminal, change to the directory where adb and fastboot are located, and issue the following commands:
sudo mv adb /usr/bin
sudo mv fastboot /usr/bin
That will move adb and fastboot into /usr/bin which is in your $Path so you can issue the commands anywhere without using './'. I'm glad you got your M8 s-offed and recovery installed. If you're looking into custom ROMs, I can personally recommend ViperOne as a great stock option and LiquidSmooth as an AOSP option. Try em' out. Now that you have recovery you can just restore a backup if you don't like your current ROM.

You'll love it. A couple thing to note though. For some reason the 1.6 download doesn't actually contain the 1.6 OTA so you'll want to go to 'About phone' and update to 1.6. Also I believe that ViperOne defaults to power saver mode. You can change this by using the toggle in the notification drawer. If you want to add power saver and extreme power saver to the settings menu follow this guide:

Top cmds that you need to know

There are servel cmds which we can use
But I post only top 10 cmds to help that ones who need
###############
If I make a mistake so please reply with your suggestions
And if you want a cmd in the list .submit your reply with cmd and features ( full detail as you know.).

For a lot of us, the fact that we can plug our Android phone or tablet into our computer and interact with it is a big plus. Besides the times when we've broken something and need to fix it, there are plenty of reasons why an advanced Android user would want to talk to his or her device. To do that, you need to have a few tools and know a few commands. That's what we're going to talk about today. Granted, this won't be the end-all be-all discussion of adb commands, but there are 10 basic commands everyone should know if they plan to get down and dirty with the command line.
The tools are easy. If you're a Mac or Linux user, you'll want to install the SDK as explained at the Android developers site. It's not hard, and you don't have the whole driver mess that Windows users do. Follow the directions and get things set up while I talk to the Windows using folks for a minute.
If you're using Windows, things are easier and harder at the same time. The tools themselves are the easy part. Download this file. Open the zip file and you'll see a folder named android-tools. Drag that folder somewhere easy to get to. Next, visit the manufacturers page for your device and install the adb and fastboot drivers for Windows. You'll need this so that your computer can talk to your Android device. If you hit a snag, visit the forums and somebody is bound to be able to help you through it.
Now that we're all on the same page, enable USB debugging on your device (see your devices manual if you need help finding it, and remember it was hidden in Android 4.2), and plug it in to your computer. Now skip past the break and let's begin!
1. The adb devices command
The adb devices command is the most important one of the bunch, as it's what is used to make sure your computer and Android device are communicating. That's why we're covering it first.
If you're a pro at the operating system on your computer, you'll want to add the directory with the Android tools to your path. If you're not, no worries. Just start up your terminal or command console and point it at the folder with the tools in it. This will be the file you downloaded earlier if you use Windows, or the platform-tools folder in the fully installed Android SDK. Windows users have another easy shortcut here, and can simply Shift + right click on the folder itself to open a console in the right spot. Mac and Linux users need to navigate there once the terminal is open, or install an extension for your file manager to do the same right click magic that's in Windows by default.
Once you're sure that you are in the right folder, type "adb devices" (without the quotes) at the command prompt. If you get a serial number, you're good to go! If you don't, make sure you're in the right folder and that you have the device driver installed correctly if you're using Windows. And be sure you have USB debugging turned on!
Now that we have everything set up, let's look at a few more commands.
2. The adb push command
If you want to move a file onto your Android device programmatically, you want to use the adb push command. You'll need to know a few parameters, namely the full path of the file you're pushing, and the full path to where you want to put it. Let's practice by placing a short video (in my case it's a poorly done cover of the Rick James tune Superfreak) into the Movies folder on your device storage.
I copied the superfreak.mp4 file into the android-tools folder so I didn't need to type out a long path to my desktop. I suggest you do the same. I jumped back to the command line and typed "adb push superfreak.mp4 /sdcard/Movies/" and the file copied itself to my Nexus 4, right in the Movies folder. If I hadn't dropped the file into my tools folder, I would have had to specify the full path to it -- something like C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\superfreak.mp4. Either way works, but it's always easier to just drop the file into your tools folder and save the typing.
3. The adb pull command
If adb push sends files to your Android device, it stands to reason the adb pull command gets them out. That's exactly what it does, and it works the same way as the adb push command did. You need to know both the path of the file you want to pull off, as well as the path you want it placed into. You can leave the destination path blank and it will drop the file into your tools folder to make things easy.
In this example, I did it the hard way so you can see what it looks like. The path of the file on the device is "/sdcard/Movies/superfreak.mp4" and I put it on my Windows 8 desktop at "C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop". Again, the easy way it to just let it drop into your tools folder by not giving a destination, which would have been "adb pull /sdcard/Movies/superfreak.mp4". Remember your forwards slash for the Android side, and you'll have no problems here.
5. The adb reboot-bootloader and adb reboot recovery commands
Not only can you reboot your device, you can specify that it reboots to the bootloader. This is awfully handy, as sometimes those button combos are touchy, and if you have a lot of devices you can never remember them all. Some devices (the LG Optimus Black comes to mind) don't even a way to boot to the bootloader without this command. And once again, being able to use this command in a script is priceless. Doing it is easy, just type "adb reboot-bootloader" and hit the enter key.
Most devices can also boot to the recovery directly with the "adb reboot recovery" (note there is no hyphen in this one) and some can't. It won't hurt anything to try, and if yours can't nothing will happen.
6. The fastboot devices command
When you're working in the bootloader, adb no longer works. You're not yet booted into Android, and the debugging tools aren't active to communicate with. We use the fastboot command in it's place.
Fastboot is probably the most powerful tool available, and many devices don't have it enabled. If you're does, you need to be sure things are communicating. That's where the fastboot devices command comes into play. At the prompt, just type in "fastboot devices" and you should see a serial number, just like the adb devices command we looked at earlier.
If things aren't working and you are using Windows, you likely have a driver issue. Hit those forums for the answer.
7. The fastboot oem unlock command
The holy grail of Android commands, fastboot oem unlock does one thing, and one thing only -- unlocks your Nexus device (or an HTC device using their official tool). If you're using a phone from a different manufacturer, you have a different method of unlocking things -- maybe with ODIN or .sbf files -- and this won't apply to you. We're including it because even if you don't need it, it's an important part of Android's openness. Google doesn't care what we do with phones or tablets that we've bought, and include this easy way to crack them open. That's something you usually don't see from any tech company, and a big part of the reason why many of us choose Android.
Using it is easy enough. Once you've used fastboot devices to make sure everything is communicating, just type "fastboot oem unlock" at the prompt and hit enter. Look at your device, read carefully, and choose wisely.
Protip: Using "fastboot oem unlock" will erase everything on your device
8. The adb shell command
The adb shell command confuses a lot of folks. There are two ways to use it, one where you send a command to the device to run in its own command line shell, and one where you actually enter the device's command shell from your terminal. In the image above, I'm inside the device shell, listing the flies and folders on the device. Getting there is easy enough, just type "adb shell" and enter. Once inside, you can escalate yourself to root if you need to. I'll warn you, unless you're familiar with an ash or bash shell, you need to be careful here -- especially if you're root. Things can turn south quickly if you're not careful. If you're not familiar, ash and bash are command shells that a lot of folks use on their Linux or Mac computers. It's nothing like DOS.
The other method of using the adb shell command is in conjunction with one of those Ash commands your Android device can run. You'll often use it for more advanced tasks like changing permissions of files or folders, or running a script. Using it is easy -- "adb shell <command>". An example would be changing permissions on a file like so: "adb shell chmod 666 /data/somefile". As mentioned, be very careful running direct commands using these methods.
9. The adb install command
While adb push can copy files to our Android devices, adb install can actually install .apk files. Using it is similar to use the push command, because we need to provide the path to the file we're installing. That means it's always easier to just drop the app you're installing into your tools folder. Once you've got that path, you tell your device to sideload it like this: "adb install TheAppName.apk".
If you're updating an app, you use the -r switch: "adb install -r TheAppName.apk". There is also a -s switch which tries to install on the SD card if your ROM supports it, and the -l switch will forward lock the app (install it to /data/app-private). there are also some very advanced encryption switches, but those are best left for another article.
And finally, you can uninstall apps by their package name with "adb uninstall TheAppName.apk". Uninstall has a switch, too. The -k switch will uninstall the app but leave all the app data and cache in place.
10. The adb logcat command
The adb logcat command is one of the most useful commands for some folks, but just prints a bunch of gibberish unless you understand what you're seeing. It returns the events written to the various logs in the running Android system, providing invaluable information for app developers and system debuggers. Most of us will only run this one when asked by one of those developers, but it's very important that we know how to use it correctly.
To see the log output on your computer screen, just type "adb logcat" and hit enter. Things can scroll by pretty fast, and chances are you won't find what you're looking for. There are two ways to handle this one -- filters, or text output.
You also have to specify the cmds properly.
Hope it help you .

Fix "unable to load" using fastboot and windows 10

I have been frustrated trying to use fastboot commands, especially the "flash" command on my windows 10 laptop. I continually got an "unable to load' message. I have reloaded the drivers manually as recommended by some, which still did not work. Well, it turns out that you need the complete path in the fastboot command line when using 10. Put your img, bin files in a folder you will be using. Open the command prompt using the windows-x keys. Select the command prompt from the menu.. It does not need to be the administrator. Use the fastbooot devices command to make sure the computer can see your device. I then issue the fastboot command I want: fastboot flash logo and then drag the file from the folder you are in and drop it on the command line. In this case I used, nowarning.bin. When it populated the complete path starting with the c: prompt shows up. Make sure there is a space before the C: and the previous command. Hit enter. I have searched everywhere and have not found an answer to this problem. I did see a video on youtube where the fellow dragged a file from the folder and dropped it in the command prompt window. So thanks to him for that simple yet effective trick.. Hopefully this will work for you if your having the same problem I had...

Can't get ADB and another program to play together.

UpDate / Solved; https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-mode-windows-10.4194491/page-2#post-85687717
This is going to be long. I downloaded miniADB and ADB both. Just happened.
For ADB I put the path in global. I'm trying to unlock a Verizon Pixel XL, using these; https://nerdschalk.com/unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-and-pixel-xl/ and https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot/
I think the issue might be simple in that I probably might not have the files set up in the best spots to work together?
ADB is in C:/platform-tools, and, dePixel8 by Beaups is in it's file C:/dePixel18,
Instructions are open dePixel18 Folder, the Shift and Right Click to open CMD window inside, then type;
adb push dePixel8 /data/local/tmp
The message after is; adb; the term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file.
Apparently i need ADB and dePixel18 to play together?
Running a dell laptop with Win10 and the Verizon locked Pixel XL.
Add location of adb.exe to Windows OS's environment variable called PATH, and it will work fine.
Also you've to declare full path of dePixel8 so ADB will find it.

Done, set up paths. Everything worked except at;
Flash recovery onto your device:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img
Then got: waiting for any device. ( I feel I'm close but when I hit fastboot, ploink!) Here is igmur image of C:,
