rooted via ubuntu and have recovery
i tried doing stuff in windows, but it wont install the drivers properly.
SO I NEED HELP!
what do i do to get this to work?
i want to be able to install 3rd party apps and get rid of att bloatware.
i have no idea where to start.
HELP!!!!!!!!!
thanx
ubuntu or windows...
download the Android SDK for Windows
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
install and download ONLY THE USB DRIVERS
open cmd window, connect usb cable, navigate to the <folder>\tools where you installed, ie. c:\android\tools
paste the following into a small batch file, call it anything you want dot bat,
ie. c:\android\tools\yourname.bat
---cut here--
cd\android\tools
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
pause 1
adb reboot
-- cut here--
ok i'll try right now
still must be missing something
what setting is my phone on when i plug it in? recovery? or just regular charge only or hard disk mode?
how do i get the usb drivers to work? when i try to install them is says "windows was unable to install your adb". is there something else i need on my pc?
when i run that .bat file it says a bunch of things, but basically says device not found.
please start from step #0.
there is no one place that has every single step we need to do.
it makes it next to impossible to get this to work.

I'm not sure I've ever seen this error come up before by anyone. Saying this is impossible isn't really true since several people have gotten it working, and the information is on these forums. The best thing to do would be to go to the IRC channel and get stepped through it. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
I'm not quite sure what's up with your ADB install, but you should download HTC Sync from the HTC site, because it includes a driver install. http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/. Then go through the process in the post above. Your phone should be in the "Charge Only" mode when connected to the computer.

i know it's not impossible, it's just that usually when the people explaining the steps to accomplish this leave out steps that they think is common knowledge/sense, but is not to total noobs.
it would be nice to have a definitive step-by-step guide:
step 1 - root your phone (this was actually really easy with the ubuntu cd)
step 2 - go back to windows and download/install these specific programs . . . (i did not know i needed htc sync, the steps i saw said just to use the sdk and the usb drivers in there to set up my phone)
step 3 - enable debugging on phone, plug your phone into pc and use charge only. (don't we use recovery for anything, i've seen steps about having this open and using the mount /system to do stuff)
step 4 - get the adb usb drivers to install properly (i guess this is my main issue at the moment...is that what is causing the device not found error when i run the .bat file?)
step 5 - copy and paste code into notepad an save as a .bat file.
step 6 - run the .bat file (within cmd? double click on the file? does it matter?)
step 7 - ????
alternate step 2 through whatever - use the ubuntu cd to do everything... (???)

Run the bat file in the cmd window. Once the bat has successfully run you can unplug the phone and you'll be good to go.

so what is the point of the sdk...other than to have the tools folder to run that .bat? so i'm the only one that can't get the sdk usb drivers to work?
and by good to go, u mean i can install 3rd party apps?
how do i get rid of the the at&t bloatware?
There are other threads explaining how to install third party apps and remove ATT bloatware.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
The problem with trying to do a step-by-step guide is that things like rooting, removing bloatware, and sideloading apps are all separate processes that require different steps and can be done in multiple ways. Some stuff requires you to be in recovery, some stuff doesn't, and other methods may require additional software. That's why there are specific separate threads that discuss them.
You've rooted your phone already, yay! Now you decide what you want to do next. Remove the bloatware? It's important that you don't lump everything together when trying to figure out what you need to do.
It seems like the first step you need to do is get ADB working and recognizing your phone when it's plugged in. ADB is necessary because it provides all the tools/commands necessary for us to interact with the phone through the command line. Windows is notoriously bad about the USB drivers. That's why the Ubuntu method was streamlined for people so they wouldn't have to deal with it. (Linux and Mac have no such usb driver issues.)

thanks for the reply.
yeah i rooted via the ubuntu disc, but then all the other steps people were telling me were using the sdk, getting the drivers, htc sync, yada yada. via windows. so thats the method i've been trying.
is there a step-by-step guide on how to allow 3rd party apps using the ubuntu disc? or... removing bloatware?
is it the same steps, but you just dont have to worry about the drivers?
The steps listed once you're in the SDK are actually the same regardless of what OS you're using.
So for Ubuntu install the SDK. Steps should be the same, just make sure you download the Linux version. Then you'd open a Terminal window (should be called Terminal in Ubuntu.) Then you should be able to use the same commands/steps you find in the other threads.
Since you've been having trouble getting your phone to connect the first thing to do is make sure SDK can actually see your phone. You should be able to open up your Terminal window, navigate to the SDK folder, connect your phone and then type 'adb devices' in the terminal window. It should then list out your phone as HTXXXXXXXX. X being some numbers and letters. If it does show that then you're on your way.
After that I'd go with removing bloatware and the steps listed in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255

ok cool thanks a lot!
i didn't even think to go back to linux to try this stuff until today at work.
i'll check it out later tonight after i mow the lawn and eat dinner....priorities...
i tried in windows one last time. it actually found the htc sync drivers (i in/uninstalled htc snyc earlier...i guess thats what did it)
adb devices command finds my phone, but when i try and run that .bat file, it goes through a bunch of things, but basically says:
remount failed: operation not permitted
failed to copy...
permission denied
all those types of things. then it says to hit enter and then it restarts my phone
???
did u try installing HTC sync connect phone to htc sync, then unistall the htc sync software usb drivers should stay behind

my phone is recognized when i run adb devices command
i'm having issues when i run the .bat file as i said in my last post
my bad
maybe i missed it, after you did the mount command did you do the read/writes permissions change?

EDIT: Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB. I have tried to download USBdeview and see if there is HTC Android, but there is not.
I have a Xperia X10i phone and the only thing that is listed is "Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver" and "Sony Eri Memory Stick USB Device".
When I uninstall ADB Interface driver nothing happens. Just freeze for a couple of seconds but thats it.
Whats wrong?

It would be an idea to read the three tutorials yes and the packs are there for you to use when you've learned how to edit apks. If the adb driver is already installed I'm not sure why you're removing it, you need it to use adb.
Hi all, I need help pls, i try SDK Manager work but I hawe problem. I fallow thys steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 all works great, SDK Manager update and download all data but when I conect x10 on usb computer auto install "Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver" and not the "androidwinusb86.cat" what i need for SDK Manager recognise me x10.

btw sorry shuld by in difrend post, how enable JIT on x10.
thx
any help pls?
It might seem a bit stupid, but maybe others will encounter one of this issues and it will help them. your more than welcome at add to this.
P: computer wont recognize device in debug mode. instead it recognizes "android 1.0" or something else.
S: download HTC sync. it contains the proper drivers.
P: while activating the *.bat file you get the erroe "adb out of date...killing". the script will run all the way, but root access wont be given.
s: you need to close all adb processes from task manager, and the htcsync process as well (on PC)! also, you need to reflash the img file, and try rooting again.
HTC SYNC
after 10 attempts at ROOT, I found this tread. It is CRITICAL that you stop the HTCSync process on you PC or root will not work!
HTC Sync on the tab or on the pc? I killed it on the tab through the running applications. To kill adb processes just close the command window on the pc.
you need to kill it on the PC.
Ok so noob question of the day!
Where are you supposed to input the commands (such as adb reboot bootloader) to start the kernel flash process? I tried in cmd as well as terminal emulator on the tablet with no luck, what am I missing here?

you should have ADB in your c:\android folder, or wherever your sdk is installed.
Do a search for adb with your pc to find out where you installed it.
then using the command prompt under start> programs> accessories> command prompt, go to the corrected directory that ADB is in.
to go to C:\android, for example, type " cd c:\android "
Then you would execute the adb commands, (example: adb reboot bootloader)
Go to youtube and search for a 'how to use ADB' tutorial.
I'm having difficulty hotbooting the insecure kernel.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync on my PC, and I've downloaded the insecure kernel to my SD card's root directory.
I have no problem rebooting the bootloader via adb, and my device is detected. However, when I try to hotboot the kernel, I routinely get a "cannot load" response. I'm typing in "fastboot boot [filename].img."
Suggestions?
Many thanks.
the insecure kernel shouldn't go to the SD card. only the wifi module should.
the *.img file should go to the adb\tools directory,
(maybe you can put it anywhere else and just write the full path while flashing, i'm not sure. i just copy this files to the tools directory and flash them from there. easiest way)
the flash command flashes the file from the directory on the computer to the device.
Thanks very much!
I'm sitting here laughing to myself because I'd tried changing the path in the command to a couple of places I'd placed the insecure kernel in my PC; the c: root directory and a directory I'd created to house downloaded Jetstream files. Obviously, neither worked.
Placing it in the adb\tools directory makes complete sense.
By the way, your mention of the "wifi module" sent me back to DooMLoRD's kernel thread. I see that you flashed the kernel and related wifi module on 1/4. Like others who posted, are you pleased with the kernel?
Thanks, again!
The kernel seems very nice and almost no one complaind.

So i have been trying to root my tprime for about a couple days now and i really need some help. Im trying to use Vipers tool (option 1), however every time i try to use it it just gets stuck on "daemon started successfully". Every now and then the script will flip out and tell me that it isnt connected, but that is pretty rare. I'm on 9.4.2.15, have debugging checked, no lockscreen (saw it helps somewhere), device manager recognizes it as "asus transformer prime ADB interface". I have tried 2 different scripts and restarted both my tablet and computer (windows 7 x64) several times. I am at a total loss about what to do next. Any help would be great =).
Also i have deleted splashtop from my computer and made sure that and asussync are not running on my tablet

Update your ADB drivers in device manager with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled within your TFP's settings (Developer options)
If that does not work then you have done something wrong.

Well if you really want this, I would suggest the following:
We want to verify that your devices is correctly connect with ADB,(assuming you dont have adb set up) so lets set up Android SDK (which is good to do anyway).
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download the .exe. Run it. It should create a folder in a location of your choosing, named something like "android-sdk". Browse to that folder, then to the 'tools' sub folder and run the SDK manager, install packages.
Next open the Command Prompt.
For example sake, lets say the location of your AndroidSDK is in the path
Code:
C://users/mike/android-sdk-win/
(Not sure what the sdk folder is actually called)
In the command prompt, enter
Code:
cd /users/mike/android-sdk-win/tools
(again replacing the location and name with the correct ones)
This will change the cmd location to the tools folder.
Then enter
Code:
adb devices
It will then list a device if one exists, if not then your adb drivers are probably not installed correctly.
If you need me to clear anything up, let me know
you were right i wasnt connected, im not quite sure how im doing anything wrong
installed the drives said to
unzipped
went into device manager -update driver software -browse -lemme pick -have disk-android_winusb -ok -comes up as ADB interface -next -finishes installing

Hmm, I am really not sure. Sounds like you have done everything right.
adb devices is showing no devices which means viperMOD will not work.
When you plug the prime into your computer, on your prime,go to the notification bar and hit on the usb notification (not pc sync, the usb one), and when the settings menu opens up, which box is checked? MTP or PTP? if ones not working, try the other
if all else fails,
try it on another computer maybe?

I rooted last night on latest version of primetime. I used a very old computer to do it. I had it stall on daemon started successfully at first also. I just unplugged the prime connection to PC and plugged it in again. then restarted the primetime program. worked for me. seems like everything you did is right. I guess sometimes the program acts funny. try to run and if it stalls just unplug connection to PC. close out app. then plug back up. open program and try again. it'll catch. I notice it'll stall if you keep trying to root after repeated ffailed attempts. close out the exe. then try again.

It has nothing to do with the Prime time. As he has said, he got the android sdk setup and confirmed that "adb devices" shows no device, which lends itself to his device or drivers not being installed correctly.
Again, nothing to do with vipermod
everything to do with how he is connected (and i think he tried 'unplugging and replugging')
-------------------------------------
Lets Try this. The following may look intimidating but its very straight forward and after its done you will be more adept at adb and everything else (and hopefully be rooted)
1) Start=> Right Click "My Computer" => Properties => Advance System Settings => Advanced Tab=> Environmental Variables
---In the top box, there should be a "PATH" variable, if so hit edit and go to the end of whatever is there (make sure there is a ';' after whatever is there) and type the path to your android SDK tools folder (same folder you browsed to before in cmd)
My PATH Field looks like this
Code:
C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\android-sdk_r16-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\; C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin
(I also have java linked, this is okay if you do not)
If there is no PATH, just hit 'new'
The above allows you to, from command prompt, type "adb" from anywhere (ie, you dont have to be in the sdk folder which is nice)
EDIT: FLAW: the following app required root womp. I guess keep trying with the USB{
-Go to Device Manager, Uninstall Your TFP, before hitting refresh go to add new devices and select the drivers and what not.
-I will continue to try to think of an alternate method.
}
2)Download and Install this on your prime (NOTE THIS STEP REQUIRES BOTH PRIME AND PC TO BE ON SAME NETWORK)
-This method is ADB over wireless, so you dont need USB to be connected (infact just unplug it for this)
https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNpaXIuZXMuYWRiV2lyZWxlc3MiXQ..
Open the app and enable it. Note the "IP: port"
type in your command prompt (again if you did step 1, you can do this from anywhere)
Code:
adb connect <yourip:port>
your ip and port should be listed in that app
=> after that, try
Code:
adb devices
It should be there! this allowed you to bypass usb issues. I dont think you can use vipermod, but there is a more manual method we can use
3) Memphroid Root
(information taken from link below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461736
memphroid binary
su binary
save both those files somewhere.. for example sake, make it your desktop in a folder called 'memphroid'
Open command prompt and change to the folder memphroid on your desktop
Code:
cd Desktop/memphroid
(the above assumes command prompt defaults at c:\Users\<yourname>\. if not just type in "dir" to get a list of directories that you can cd to)
you are now in the memphroid folder
assuming you did step 2 correct, you should have already connected with "adb connect"
now enter the following in cmd
Code:
adb push mempodroid /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb shell
One line at a time, the first 2 push the files to the correct locations, the third one puts you into the 'shell' (basically terminal) of your prime (you should see a # now before where you type)
Then enter
Code:
chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
/data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 sh
Copy all of that and just paste it at once (i think its both at once, not one line at a time)
then type
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
And then here is the rest from that thread. I would just do all of the following except the first two lines starting with 'rm' because you havent rooted before
** IF you have previously rooted your Prime, run the following two commands. They may throw an error that the file a file was not found.
rm /system/bin/su

look to that thread linked for reference. if you neeed anything clarified or help, just post here. Please read my post carefully, following the step. I tried to be as clear as possible. I have never done the memphroid root before but it looks easy enough
Please hit 'Thanks' button, as I have taken the time to help
Still not able to get root...just tried Debugfs automated root tool and it stalled at "daemon started successfully" im seriously stumped here...
Ok, I'm just going to ask it...
How do I set up SDK and ADB on my 3rd generation HDX 8.9. I find quite a few sets of instructions from 2011 but nothing seems up to date. And android studio is installing the driver in amazon.com which seems weird.
This is the latest I tried--here
I've searched and searched--I've tried several of these with no luck getting the pc to recognize the kindle.
Please no hateful replies--I've been at this for 2 days and I or really wouldn't ask.
Links would be really useful.
Thank you
Unless you are developing, you do not need android studio, jdk, or anything else. All you need to to do is download the sdk.
From here I am going to assume you are on Windows. Probably win 8 or 8.1?
Extract the sdk to a folder where you have write access.
Now find the folder called platform-tools in the sdk folder.
Now, in the Windows explorer bar, select all the text and type cmd
If you do this right, it will open a command window in the platform- tools folder.
If that is confusing, you can go to the sdk folder and then open the command prompt from the start window. Then type cd and drag the platform-tools folder to the command window.
Right now, all the devs are crying, because these are lazy shortcuts, but they work and save you from adding this folder to your path which is better programmatically, but a bit more involved.
Anyway, now you are where you need to be so, type
Code:
adb devices
And you should see your device, but, you probably won't. Stay tuned...

You don't need to install the whole Android Studio suite — just the SDK Tools will suffice.
As for the Kindle Fire drivers...
https://developer.amazon.com/appsan...ing-up-the-ADB-Driver-for-Kindle-Fire-Devices
So, hopefully you got either a printout of your device, or you got a blank line like...
Code:
List of devices attached...
This is because you do not have the driver installed. If you get another error, either you are in the wrong folder, or you did not enable and on your device.
Code:
To enable adb on your device, click on the serial number in settings>device options 5 times and it will give you the developer options. Enable adb is a toggle there.
Alright, now we need the driver. Go to device manager in your computer and delete anything that looks android or kindle in nature. Unhook your tablet and reboot.
Download the HDX toolkit from the developers error forum and try the install drivers tool in it.
Reboot.
Now, making sure you have enabled adb on your device, open up a command prompt in platform-tools, and try the command again.
Code:
Adb devices
You should see your serial number.
If you have any issues, report back. I may have skipped a step or two as I am giving these directions from memory.
Good luck.

So I am stuck adb devices--the line is blank
--ADB is enabled
--USB debugging is checked
--kindle driver installed
--portable device deleted in device manager
--SDK is set up C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
The driver installed in a separate file in program files as amazon.com which looks odd to me.
Maybe my path is wrong?
Update I've tried the method found here but after 2 tries with reboots, I'm still getting MTP device and portable device->fire. Each time i see the last one I delete it, reboot plug in again and portable device appears.
I've also tried Amazon instructions here
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you are on the right track.
Unplug your kindle, delete the devices again, and try this file.

Use it just to install the drivers. (That is all it can do for you).
Then open a command prompt.
And plug your device in.
.
If the drivers are installed correctly, the path only matters to get adb to work (which the blank line tells you it is).
Also, there is a chance the devices will show up the same after the correct drivers are used. Mtp is able to run aside adb, but on Win 8 anyway, not fastboot (don't worry about fastboot).
