I'm lost. Need rooting help.

I'm lost as hell. I found this thread:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/06...credible-next/
I did the unrevoked thing and I see this icon called SuperUser Permissions in my app list.
Am I able to proceed and fully root or do I have to re-do the root with the Toast method? This looks too complicated and by the way I tried the ./adb thing on my mac and I get errors saying "No such file or directory".

adb isn't installed on a Mac out of the box; You'll need to go download the Android SDK. Untar it somewhere (I put it in ~/), then open a term, do:
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~ $ cd android-sdk-mac_86/tools/
cents-macbook-pro:~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb

Massive Brain Freeze.. What do you mean by "(I put it in ~/)"?
I downloaded the Android SDK already. I understand what terminal is so when I download the Android SDK where do I place it?
Am I pointing terminal to the directory? Android SDK is currently in a folder on my desktop.

~ in most flavors of Unix/Linux is short for your home directory. In MacOS, ~ is /Users/<username>. *nix pro-tip:
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~ $ echo ~
/Users/cent
So in my case, ~ is short for /Users/cent.
If it's on your desktop, open a terminal and type:
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
-OR-
Code:
cd /Users/cent/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
And then you can proceed to issue your adb commands. Just remember to prefix it with "./", which tells MacOS to look in the current directory for the adb command.
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05RHL1XXXX device

Ok. I think I'm just going to pay someone to do this for me. I'm getting a migraine.
So I'm basically typing the below:
~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb devices (Do I type this in one line)
List of devices attached
HT05RHL1XXXX device
I ran the thing and it doesn't show my phone listed.

I've got the time, if you have the money!
1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. On your phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development, and make sure "USB debugging" is checked.
2. Make sure your USB cable is connected to your phone and computer.
3. Open a terminal
4. Type "cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools" and press enter.
5. Type "./adb devices" and press enter.
If it lists your device, you're then good to go to start following the rooting instructions!

You're the best dude. It was the USB debugging that was giving me the problem.

Good deal man, glad you got that part worked out! Have fun getting your root on!

this is the easiest way to do it....it worked for me

Do i have to keep dubugging mode on or can I turn it off before I root it. I did the command:
"cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools"
and then
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard (Doesn't do anything. I tried without the space and some stuff popped up. Can I just manually put it on my SDcard?

Debugging mode needs to stay on if you want to use adb. You can turn it off once you root, but it won't hurt to leave it on.
The push command should tell you the number of bytes transfered. You need to make sure that the file you are pushing is in the current directory you're in (tools), or manually enter the path, like "./adb push ~/Downloads/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard"
But yes, you can mount the card as a disk drive and copy the file there in Finder.

[Q] rooting slide in ubuntu

Hey If anyone can help i have a few questions about rooting the slide in ubuntu
the "loop" script will not run regardless of what i do....also i can't seem to get the phone to show up with adb devices when i am in the bootloader
i can see the phone when it is in the rom but for some reason it won't show in the bootloader
thanks in advance

just type
Code:
adb devices
in terminal, and then when you select recovery and press enter, press "ENTER, UP, ENTER, UP, ENTER, UP...) really fast...and hope it works! if not lather, rinse, repeat...

There are instructions in the rooting thread on making an equivalent script for MacOS (which should work under Linux as well.) If you tried to run a DOS batch file under Linux thinking it would work...well, that's a judgment for another day

The Mac script does not run as a sh script on linux.
(PS: don't for the ./ before adb on a linux term. (./adb etc...))

Ive got a loop script for linux that I can send you when I get home. And like Indikut said, don't forget to add "./" before adb.

No need for the ./ if you added the sdk tools folder to your PATH.

Why that MacOS script doesn't work in bash on Ubuntu is beyond me. It looks to be formatted correctly.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
adb devices;
sleep .25;
done
You could always use the following equivalent:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
watch -n .25 adb devices;
done
Assuming adb is in your path, this would run it every 1/4 second. You could, of course, change it to suit your location for adb (/usr/local/bin/adb or other location).

Cool thanks ..I will try that for the loop script
The other issue I have is that I can't see my phone as a device when I type adb devices in the bootloader ...it works fine when the phone is in the rom tho....I tried searching for the problem but I can't seem to find a solution ....I may just have overlooked it tho

thanks again for the help with my problem i have a feeling the macos script would of worked i was using the wrong command i ended up typing "sh loop.sh" and it ran the script ....alltho i don't see it spamming adb devices ...it seems to just output it one time ....
now all i have to do is get the phone to show up when its in the bootloader....off to the search button i go

As soon as you hit power to go to recovery either A) Activate the stupid script or B) mash ENTER+UP+ENTER+UP+ENTER until your keys fall off. I only got it to work the latter way.
Also, in Linux I've found that you'll get ???????? NO PERMISSIONS unless you do sudo ./adb devices.

The first time you run adb in a session, it should be started with sudo, since that starts the adb daemon. After that, any normal user's permissions (like running the script) should be ok. Make it easy on yourself and copy the adb executable to some place in your path (I use /usr/local/bin/). That way, you can delete the entire SDK unless you have plans for developing apps for Android.
I tried using my second code snippet above as loop.sh. I didn't go any higher, but it really doesn't have to work really quickly. I went up to .5 (executing "adb devices" twice a second) and it worked fine. You won't see a scrolling output like you would in DOS. The screen just updates if/when new info comes up (like showing the phone offline or in recovery.) When you get to the phone icon with the red triangle, hit VolUp and Power at the same time to get the recovery menu. The rest of the normal root tutorial should work for you.

ok thanks again for the help so far....here is where i am at ...i put adb in /usr/local/bin ...i can use adb devices ....the script is working for me but now when i get to the point where i push over the first file it says permission denied
i make sure to start adb with sudo ....i even tried running everything from a root terminal but i still get the same thing....i have already tried killing the adb server and restarting it with root permissions ...i have tried pushing the file with devices still listed as offline
kind of at a loss
here is what i get btw
"[email protected]:~/androidsdk/tools$ adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
failed to copy 'ota.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied
[email protected]:~/androidsdk/tools$
"

I'm using a pretty fresh install of Ubuntu Lucid. I haven't messed with my user's groups or anything, so it's still fairly stock.
All I've done is copied adb to /usr/local/bin. The first run of adb (adb devices) is done as root using sudo. You could try running "sudo adb root" to begin with, and see if that makes a difference. After that, I can run any adb push commands as the normal user in GNOME's terminal.
Assuming you're set up like I am, if you're getting a permissions error after doing that, I'd hazard a guess and say the problem is on the phone's side rather than the computer.
Check and make sure USB debugging is checked in your settings. Beyond that, I'm stumped.

[GUIDE] Using ADB & FASTBOOT in OSX / Mac

Hi,
I thought I'd add this here because I've recently starting using OSX after building my own hackintosh out of PC parts. I got very fed up with Windows and the need for drivers all over the shop so I'm moved over now.
I've also just got into flashing my HTC Desire and it was made very easy by lots of the guys here. One thing that will always be useful when rooting and flashing your phone is ADB. There are lots of guides out there for ADB on Windows but I wanted to run in natively in OSX.
After a lot of research and a few failed attempts .... I've now worked out how to run ADB in OSX.
What you will need:
A Mac
USB cable
Android SDK for OSX- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
At the time of writing this the version was "android-sdk_r08-mac_86" so please have a look at the above link and let me know if you can't find that same version.
So download the zip file and I would extract it to a folder where you are happy to keep it such as within your user home folder i.e. Macintosh HD/Users/{Your User Name} and for my mac it is Users/siedkins which is how I have my OSX set up.
Then open then still in Finder, open "android-sdk-mac_86" then "tools".
Now launch Terminal - ⌘ + space then type Terminal or Applications>Utilities>Terminal
Now drag and drop the file called "android" in the "tools" folder into your terminal window and you should see something like:
/Users/siedkins/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/android
Then hit enter - this should load Android SDK
Next go to Available Packages on the left and Android Repository > Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 1 -tick the box and hit "Install Selected"
It should download and install the Platform Tools which includes ADB !!!!
Now quit Android SDK after it has downloaded and go back into Finder. Now you should see a new folder "platform-tools" in the "android-sdk-mac_86" folder. Open that and you can now see a file called adb.
Now .... I am going to show you how to make your life a lot easier in Terminal to run ADB without having to navigate to the folder every time you want to launch it.
Go back to your Terminal window and type (or copy & paste):
Code:
cd ~
The screen should then look like
NAME_OF_YOUR_MACHINE:~ USERNAME$
For me I have:
Mac-Pro:~ siedkins$
Next, type
Code:
touch .bash_profile
to create your new bash / path file
Next, type
Code:
open -e .bash_profile
to open it in TextEdit.
Now into Text Edit please copy:
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:
Then go into Finder and navigate your your "android-sdk-mac_86" folder. Then click on the "platform-tools" folder and drag and drop this into TextEdit at the end of the code above that you copied. Mine looks like:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/siedkins/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools/
Yours should look like:
export PATH=${PATH}:insert your path to the "platform-tools" folder in your Android SDK here
All you need is that one line. Then Save and exit TextEdit and then very importantly QUIT TERMINAL.
***** If you have issues being able to save the file at all then please jump to the bottom of the post*****
Now ........ to turn on USB Debugging in your handset Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging - ticked and also go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Charge Only and also UNTICK "Ask me ..." there also. You can always go back here and change these settings back.
Now plug in your phone to a USB port. I noticed that if I plugged my phone into one of the standard USB ports on the front of my machine I couldn't see the phone further down the line and if I plugged it into a powered USB port on the front (I have an "akasa AK-ICR-08" which has a powered connector behind the 5 USB ports. But you guys will probably be using a MacBook or MacPro and there shouldn't be any issues with the power to your USB ports.
Now to launch ADB - re-open terminal (remember that you had quit it - very important!) then type in:
Code:
adb devices
And you should see:
List of devices attached
HXXXXXXXXXX device
where XXXXXXXX is your unique phone ID.
Now you can run all of your favourite ADB commands straight by typing:
adb shell
etc straight into Terminal. I won't go into that here as there are plenty of guides about what to do with ADB once it's installed!
Now you have ADB setup on your Mac and can run it without the need for installing HTC Sync - un-installing it - loading some modified drivers over the top !!!!
It all just works !!!!!!
Please drop me a line if you have any queries about this !
******************
If you are have user account issues such as Terminal or TextEdit says that you can't do anything then try adding "sudo" to the front of your terminal command as this will allow you to execute the account as a superuser or root user for OSX! ROOT!!! Note that you will have to enter your password to enable the superuser access rights and you won't see anything as you type in your password.
i.e. try:
Code:
sudo touch .bash_profile
then
Code:
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit .bash_profile
(slight change in the coding here to ensure that TextEdit opens
Or you could do:
Code:
sudo pico .bash_profile
This will open up the Pico text editor instead of TextEdit. Here you will have to type out all of the text then you press "ctrl+x" to exit and then you can save on the next screen. To check that has worked you can then open the file in terminal again and check it with the normal command:
Code:
open -e .bash_profile

FastBoot
I've now found you all a precompiled version of Fast Boot:
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
Please download and unzip the precompiled version for OSX to your "SDK/platform-tools" folder.
Rename the unzipped file from "fastboot-mac" just to "fastboot". You need to fix the permissions of the fastboot file using CHMOD in Terminal.
In Terminal navigate to your "SDK/platform-tools" folder and then type:
Code:
ls
You should see all of the files in your "platform-tools" folder such as adb, aapt, fastboot, etc.
Then type:
Code:
chmod 777 fastboot
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED THE FILE NAME ABOVE !
Now with the permissions fixed you should be able to run fastboot.
Connect your phone via USB and set to "charging only". Then turn off your phone and leave the USB in. Then hold the back key and then turn your phone on again. You will have a white screen with 3 skateboarding androids on.
Now in Terminal type:
Code:
fastboot devices
And you should see your unqiue phone ID! (Note that you have to be at that white screen with the skateboarders for the "fastboot devices" code to run!
Now you have a fully working fastboot !!!
Sorry this explanation is a bit short - I did write out a longer one but my browser crashed and I lost it all. However if you cannot follow the above then I think it's maybe best that you don't use fastboot as you could seriously brick your phone.
NOTE - I HAVE NEVER USED FASTBOOT TO FLASH A RADIO OR PHONE SO I PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP IF YOU GET ERRORS IN USING FASTBOOT OR FLASHING YOUR DEVICE ! The above information is how to shortcut the navigation to the folder. Please don't blame me if you break the recovery image of your phone!

Thanks for such a thorough step by step guide. But Im having a problem I followed the directions and at the last step I get "permission denied". Any tips for me would be truly appreciated. Thanks

What version of MacOS? Also are you sure your device is properly rooted? I'm assuming you are getting the error when typing "adb devices"?
EDIT: That's what I get for being distracted while typing this.. ;-)

The easiest way to get the sdk is by using homebrew, which is an amazingly useful tool. https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
Code:
brew install android-sdk
It doesn't add adb to your path however, you have to do that manually by adding /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/r8/platform-tools to your path.
Hope that makes it a little bit easier.

I found that on my mac using terminal I have to always start the adb commands with a ./ otherwise it wouldn't work right. This might be common knowledge for some, but I'm a terminal newbie
So, for example:
./adb devices

Thanks for the walk through
This work great. I put the the SDK folder on the root of Macintosh HD and renamed it to AndroidSDK. Then in the .bash_profile my path was /AndroidSDK/platform-tools/ . I then made a backup of my SD card with adb pull from /mnt/sdcard to my local machine.

Kind of weird. To me that would mean that you're path variable isn't setup correctly. Usually the ./ before a command means to run the command from the current directory and ignore the path variable.

It doesn't even have to be this complicated. Download the sdk, whatever files you want to push to your phone put it in the same folder. Then do the commands (./adb push). Simple.

Great and easy tutorial! Got it working in 5min ^_^

Ok - that makes sense now. And reading Krisrk's reply, that's exactly how I did it.
On my device I only needed to push a single file. Don't really need adb anymore. Your post was like 12-hours too late for me though. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't work, then saw the ./ in a youtube video. After that I was rooted with a new rom in minutes
thanks for all the great info guys

Just wanted to thank you! I already had ADB working on my Mac OSX but didn't have the "environment variables" in the .bash_profile. So now I can just use adb commands directly without going into the finder and find the adb!
Also, kudos for the very detailed guide with your own examples, that reads very well!

Thanks for the comments guys.
I know that you can navigate to the SDK folder and just run it from there but I thought that people might like the above guide to do the shortcut once and then never have to jump around folders again in terminal which is a bit of a pain. Plus my method removes the need for the "./" prefix.
anyways I'm easy I'm sure that everyone will have their own preferred method if you already use adb on OSX

i cannot get beyond the command:
touch .bash_profile
the terminal returns permission denied. what do i need to add or what am i doing wrong?

What type of user account do you have set up in OSX?
System Prefs > Accounts
Also what about trying the following in Terminal
Code:
sudo touch .bash_profile
And then enter the password for your user profile?
Any better?

Thanks for this!!!!!

it popped up and asked my password, then it said i entered the wrong one and i never was asked this again. this is incredibly frustrating as i cannot even get it to work in windows
edit: ok got to the part where i bring up text edit, but it will not let me save. states i do not have permission to save. is there a way i can turn off this password crap for the time being? all i want to do is push files to my phone, i can't even get this far

Ok...
I'm trying not to look stupid, but for gods sake, im stuck at the first command. I copy paste cd~ and nothing happens. press enter nothing. I've been reading up on terminal and i still feel quite stupid considering how im stuck on step one
edit: got it! I got lost going back into the same terminal and not closing the android sdk window. there fore I was still in the sdk and not telling the computer anything. a dur. Opening a new terminal and doing all of the steps did the trick. Thanks for this btw!

thanks for the detailed guide. i've been looking all over the web for a guide to setup adb for MAC. followed the steps here and now, i'm able to use ADB on my macbook. YAY!!

[Q] Problem sideloading kodi.tv

I am having issues. The first time I tried this I thought it was a success as I went through the steps and got the loading screen on the fire tv to come up. I waited for about 10 minutes and then the firetv reset but Kodi did not install.
Now I am trying to do it and when I hit enter after the string to sideload the .apk nothing happens. I get no response in the terminal and it just goes to the next line. I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
I am using terminal on a mac. This method http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-mac/
please help.

Try the additional "-r" option during install ('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data).
For e.g.:
Code:
adb install -r kodi.apk

No. The option "-r" must be used before the complete path to the APK file. Have a look:

I haven't used that because I am running into all kinds of issues. First I got the "Can't create log file" error. I googled that and see that I need to drag the app onto the desktop or into the applications folder. The problem is when I try to move it I get another error message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". I feel like such a newb with this Mac. I have no clue how to troubleshoot.
any help?

Any chance you have a Windows PC connected to your network that you can try? I did this (http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/) and had no issues.
If you can get ES File Explorer onto the FireTV, then you can go to Network/Cloud and add an account, connected it to a Dropbox account, then just download apks and open them from ES File Explorer, you won't need the PC or adb any more.

Can you even connect to the aTV?
Try some ADB commands to see if ADB does really work:
Code:
adb devices
This should list all via ADB connected devices. If the list is empty you´re not connected.
When your device is connected try some basic shell commands:
Code:
adb shell
This opens a bash shell. Within this shell type
Code:
ls
and the directory content of the actual folder should be listed.
ADB shell can be left with:
Code:
exit
If this isn´t working, check your ADB version you have installed and try to install a newer/other one. I had such an issue once on Windows with an Android tablet which couldn´t be connected with the ADB version I had already installed on my PC so I took another ADB version and it worked. Of course this shouldn´t be but it seems that this can happen.
Another hint might be your problems regarding adbfire. Perhaps your user restrictions prevent ADB from proper working. I´m not firm on MAC´s but I think they support the "sudo" command (explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo). So try your ADB commands again with an additional sudo before similiar like this:
Code:
sudo adb install kodi.apk

I can't figure this out - I am following this (http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-mac/) perfectly and I got it to work the first time but it just didn't complete it for some reason and now every time when I hit enter on the last step nothing happens.
I can't use the adbfire app because of the other issue.
WTF? why isn't the method through terminal working?

I don't know...on mac you need to use ./ unless you configure it otherwise so to connect I'd type ./adb connect myipaddress
If you are connecting then you have adb working. I use adbfire but here's what I'd do...
I like keeping my adb folder with platform tools on my desktop. Put the apk you want to install in that folder
type "cd" <space> then drag the whole folder into the terminal--hit enter
now type ./adb connect youripaddress--hit enter
if it says connected type ./adb install<space>then drag the apk from inside your adb folder right into the terminal--hit enter
If you did it right nothing will happen instantly. It depends on how fast your connection is. Wait up to 5 minutes I'd say and you'll either get a success message of an error. If it's the latter, post it here.

Did you read my previous topic and tried what I´ve written?
Forget this Howto since it is just a general guideline and it can´t help you with your actual problem since it is more or less a first time installation guideline but you have already had a previous installation which makes the difference. It can also not deal with restrictions on your system side for e.g. if ADB wouldnt´be allowed to access USB.
If you´re sure that your system is not restricted anyway and ADB should work and if you still prefer to work only with this guideline do a factory reset within your FireTV. This should set the box in a state back again where this guideline should work how it is intended.
Or try SPMC from Amazon App Store which would be the easiest way:

I don't understand what you want to ask.
To send ADB command to another device, you can use ADB over WIFI setting in developer option.

I mean I need send adb from my device to my device by shizuku . (All in the same device )

I'm not really sure what your issue is. Shizuku is pretty simple, even if you use it for terminal. You exported the files. You changed the Package ID. So what's the problem? You can use it now.
For example, `adb shell pm disable com.bloatware.app` just becomes `shizuku pm disable com.bloatware.app`. shizuku basically gives you ADB shell access. Use `shizuku` similar to how you'd use `sudo` on Linux.

To test, just do `./shizuku ls`. First time you should get a permission prompt by the shizuku appz asking if you wanna grant permissions to termux.

You said you don't have computer access all the time. So, I'm assuming you have it at least once. If so, try rhis.
1. Connect to computer and enable wireless adb (just google it)
2. Download this app named Remote ADB Shell by Cameron Gutman https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgutman.androidremotedebugger
3. Enter IP as 127.0.0.1 and port as 5555 (assuming you didn't change it in the first step)
Can't say if your Shizuku needs will be satisfied but this way, you'll be able to run commands in adb shell (from your phone) as if doing from computer. Make sure that you don't use aadb sheelll iin the commands
