[Q] Command prompts in fastboot mode - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may be a noob problem on my part but I have been having problems navigating fastboot through command prompt. I have been able to successfully install fastboot on my laptop and have no problem getting my streak to go into fastboot mode, but command prompt doesn't recognize my commands when I type "fastboot" after getting prompt to "c:\streak>". I have followed the guide "what you need to know about the dell streak" to the letter but no luck. Help please

You can't install fastboot you need open the command prompt and navgivate to where u have the files extracted.
For example for me I extracted repaire tool in c:/streakrepair
So I do
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd streakrepair
Then u can will the fastboot commands make sure that where the fastboot file is.

I'd post the link but can't search streaksmart for how to sideload apps without adb
This should help you out on how to get unkown sources to appear.

So I should just use this command in fastboot and it will give me the option to disable this security setting?

Yes, i put my sdk folder in the root of the hard drive C and called it just sdk to make it simple. And inside are the tools folder.....so i do not know what i might be doing wrong.
The debugg mode mode was enabled in the previous rom, but dont know in the 2.3.1 rom, as i am not able to run it
Thanks anyways

cd C:\sdk\platform-tools\
that's where the adb shell is.....not in tools, but in platform tools

you have to open a command prompt in the folder where adb.exe is stored. you don't need to run the program itself, just run commands necessary to do whatever hack you're trying to do. if you just put the apk files in the same folder as adb.exe then use "adb push" commands and such (whatever is detailed in the instructions)
to open a command prompt in the folder, i think you can just right click and select "Open command prompt here" (i know that's in win7, not too sure about xp)
also - this is the wrong section to post this. it should be in the Q&A section, not development.

Why are you using super one click on your atrix? Gingerbreak or gladroot is the preferred method for the atrix.

i know i can adb pull but what would be the command to actually browse the system...
Use the command "adb shell" and browse as you would on your OS through the command prompt.
ex: for PCs for listing use the command "dir" and "cd" to navigate through folders
ex: for Macs you would have to use "ls"

ok, so i'm attempting to post an adb logcat output at another forum regarding an app. at the cmd prompt (of course directed to the proper tools folder) i use the following
adb logcat -f /sdcard/output.txt
hit return and i get a blinking cursor. nothing else appears to happen. am i mssing something? is there another way to create and view/save the logcat output?
thanks

wouldn't it be:
Code:
adb shell
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

[Q] HELP! not about the phone but adb.exe

Hi.
It's not first time for me to root or flash rom or sth like that.
It's also not the first time for me to use the adb.exe or the android sdk.
Today, I installed the sdk and the java and everything I need. Everything works great until I tried to use the adb.exe.
When I click on adb.exe, it pop out for a second and then disappear. I can see a lot of commands within that second.
Then I try to use cmd and the commands are the following:
Code:
-d - directs command to the only connected USB devic
e
returns an error if more than one USB device is
present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is r
unning.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator w
ith
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERI
AL
These commands are obviously the command: [abd help]
Why the hack would they show out instead of running the normal adb.exe???
Also, any other adb command turns to the same things above( result of the [abd help] command)
Need help, can't use any adb functions..........................
What command are you typing? What guide are you following? This is all very vague!

First, thanks for replying me.
I didn't really follow any guide as i know how it works...
I installed the driver >java pack>sdk and I just run C:\SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe

What do you mean run adb.exe?
adb.exe doesn't run, its a service.
you should set it up your path on your computer to make life easier.
Open a command prompt (search for cmd in start menu) and type "set PATH=%PATH%;C:\sdk\whateverthepathis"
Then once that is set you can just type adb into command without the need for writing the whole path every time.
Like C:\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe\adb devices becomes adb devices.

Ya I thought you were going to the platform-tools folder and clicking adb.exe the icon.
Well try set up the path so you don't need to type all the long path to adb.exe whenever you want to use it.
When you set it up all you need to type in is adb devices. That's it.
Its up to you though.

I dunno whether it works on build 4, but if you have exTweaks, you can enable the mtp option from there. That works with 12.04

There are solutions available, that I am using on a daily basis:
1. first thing: ADB via Terminal
The Android SDK includes a few comandline tools. One of these is adb (Android Debug bridge) which has a few commands included,
Just to name a few: push (sent), pull (copy from device to pc/laptop), backup (user data with or without sdcard) and a few more like shell = remote terminal access to device.
Install it by: (without "")
"sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb"
then: "adb devices" and you should see your device as something like "09A48348HHHF1"
then sent (push) or copy (pull) files with "adb push /home/USER/downloads/1.avi /sdcard" or adb pull /sdcard/movie.avi /home/USER/downloads"
to see the files included in a folder type : "ls" or "ls- la"
2. Use ADB via Graphical frontend: e.g. the ADBfileexplorer by DareT0Be (THX a lot and all credits to you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
It's written in JAVA and can be executed on every device running java theoretically (Ubuntu, Windows, MacOSx,....)
A little trick is written at the end of the first page to execute it. I wrote a script to run it easily:
#!/bin/bash
DIRECTORY=/home/USER/Downloads
$1 cd $DIRECTORY
$2 java -Xmx512m -jar adbfileexplorer.jar
echo $1
echo $2
Save it: Once again via terminal: "gedit SCRIPTNAME.sh" copy and paste it, change Directory to the directory of adbfileexplorer. save it.
Make it executable: sudo chmod 771 adbfileexplorer.sh
Create an alias at your desktop or where ever to easily open it.
3. USE google to find the MTP scripts and mounting solutions - Which I don't use.
If that helped YOU hit the thanks button.
