There really is no "setup" to adb other than installing the Android SDK
And installing the Samsung drivers
My only suggestion is that you install it to something like c:\android-sdk , will make your path shorter when using the command line ...
If you install as above adb will be in the c:\android-sdk\tools directory ..

CRT Animation [WORKING]

For those of you who don't know exactly what the CRT animation is, it is the animation that Gingerbread uses when you press the power button and the screen gives a neat power off effect.
Well I wanted this. A lot. So I went out and did it. Just enabled it, and it looks gorgeous on my phone.
Please note, that you must be rooted in order to use this, and on Gingerbread.
It is a straightforward process.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES ADB AND JAVA TO BE INSTALLED
A good idea to nandroid before this, as if something goes wrong it can screw up a lot of things.
Installation 1:
Download DX2-CRT-Animation.zip
Copy to sdcard
Flash in CWR
BIG THANKS TO p3droid FOR PACKAGING AS A ZIP
Installation 2 (the complicated, make you feel cooler, hardcore, original way):
This is modifying your framework-res so some themes may not work any longer.
Instructions:
[]Have phone plugged into computer, and in Charge Mode.
[]Download DX2-CRT-Animation.apk
[]Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT-Animation.apk's location. (This can be accomplished by shift clicking on the folder where this resides, and clicking open command prompt here).
[]Push files onto the phone
Code:
adb push DX2-CRT-Animation.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
[]Get shell access
Code:
adb shell
su
---When you enter this, make sure your phone is awake, as a Super User access allow/deny will pop up. Allow it.
In command prompt, you should now have a #.
[]Remove and copy files to proper location, reboot
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Whats next:
-Reverse CRT animation (hopefully!!!)
Any input is appreciated.
I am new to this. Give me your input, and help me get better.
Works great! Thanks!
I think everything is working as it should with crt animation working.
Directions worked well, I just had to change how I got into adb.
Great job.
This is awesome, however I'm a little confused. I'm no beginner by any means, but this looks to be outside the realm of what I've done.
When I go into the terminal, am I doing this from my computer? Or my phone (via Terminal Emulator)?
Here is what I'm thinking, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
Download apk
Enter terminal emulator
Type in all of your commands
Voila?
Sorry for all the newbness on this, but I'm dying for some CRT.
Thanks man!
Nevermind, I'm a fail.
I'm downloading the Android and Java SDK now.
I downloaded the necessary files. I can't get the first part to work.
"Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT Animation.apk's location.
Can you explain this step more? I tried right-clicking...
People set up there adb differently. Important thing is to copy file to the directory of where your adb tools are. In my case its
/sdk/platform-tools
Hope this helps

Couldn't get it to work. Even had the IT guy from my work try to get it going. We couldn't get the terminal to find swt.jar
Is it possible for me to do this through root explorer, all through my phone? Change permissions and push it into the correct folder?
That would be awesome.
I am out of town but when I get back I will try to package a zip to flash.
Are you on linux?
If I can elaborate for you here:
When you download the apk, copy it to your documents folder. The use the cd command to change the directory to your documents folder. This is assuming you have your path files set up correctly. Hope this helps!

Haha, it doesn't help. I'm clueless man. A zip file, or instructions on how to do it SOLELY from my phone (using root explorer) would be all I know.
Dying for this
I think you just need adb.
Nice work man! I'm on my way home to hook this up. This is a good excuse for me to get the Android SDK set up on my home machine.

I've spent all day trying to get it to work. No dice.
Would love a zip as well...
Well, I tried both download links in the original post and each time it would successfully boot up but no CRT animation. I finally got it figured out as I have the X2 spare parts installed and had to turn off fancy input animations and now it works. Thanks for posting this.
EDIT: I take that back. I had to put the speed of transition animations to normal and can have fancy input animations enabled. For some reason this won't work when "fast" is checked.

Nope. I just have the android sdk installed. The adb is not included in the dl from google so you have to dl and extract that into the android-sdk-windows/tools

Then do the steps from beginning and test to confirm your device is recognized
Then proceed and follow the steps.

Few questions

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Root access without dock or computer

Ok...first off i know this is not supposed to be in general discussion but as my new status will not let me reply to the relevant thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131). I just wanted to share how I achieved root access (without a computer) by using bits of different advise from other users. I take no credit for any of this, I don't know any commands but I obviously have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish. Here goes:
First Step:
Download Superuser from market
Download Terminal Emulator from market
Download Dolphin HD browser
Navigate to the above linked thread in the Dolphin broswer and Download photon-torpedo.tar
Once all these are installed reboot your device.
Second Step:
From the terminal emulator enter commands pressing enter after each.
cd /tmp/
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar . (note the "space" and "period" at the end)
chmod 777 photon-torpedo.tar
/bin/tar xf photon-torpedo.tar
./photon-torpedo.sh (you will receive errors at this point, IGNORE)
./install-su.sh
Reboot your device
Third Step:
Run terminal emulator
Enter the command su
At this point it will ask for superuser rights and you are rooted.
*The reason for this thread is that I had to take bits from different responses and piece them together to get this to work. Hope this helps someone as I wanted give back to the community. Again...all credit goes to the original contributors.*
*Fixed typo*
*Theory - If you have a SD card installed when you download the file change the second command line to " cp /sdcard-ext/download/photon-torpedo.tar ." (note the "space" and "period" at the end)*
*Another hint - Determine the location of your /tmp/ folder prior to attempting root (download a file explorer from market) and modify as needed. Some have needed to use /data/tmp/ *

Actually that is supposed to be cp. I believe it copies the photon-torpedo.tar to the /tmp/ folder where it needs to be located in order to run. (I could be wrong on my logic but that is what worked for me)

should be

To be quite honest i haven't felt the need to flash a rom on the mopho so you'll have to research that one yourself. To flash though you normally need to install a bootloader and im just not familiar with the process on this phone. I only rooted to access wifi hotspot and a few other apps.

Boot into recovery, connect to your computer, open command prompt and type adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the build.prop with notepad++ and fix the VM size, chances are that app set the VM size as 128 or 128mb instead of 128m which it should be.
Then once its fixed just adb push it back to /system/build.prop

Hold volume down, home button and power button together and it will boot into recovery.
I take it you don't have the android sdk on your computer? You need that to use adb.
If not then the easiest option is to factory reset, or maybe someone will make you a flashable zip that will replace your build.prop.

Rooting Motorola Photon

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me step by step on how to root my phone.
There are many different variants on the photon-torpedo method that you can find on these forums, the stickies, and through google search, but here is the step by step method I prefer. Credit goes to Edgan.
Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from http://gititbit.ch/AFAS and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from http://proton.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/photon/photon-torpedo.tar and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp • adb shell • cd /data/tmp • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.

I just verified the download, it has the adb.exe you seek, and also the photon-torpedo.tar file you'll need. It's all in a zip file, QBKing77 also includes a video on what to do.
Hope this helps.
Btw, drop a thanks on mof for the work. You might also seriously consider flashing mof's Slim ROM, it's great.
