[Q] ADB issues. - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I can't get adb to work and I'm about fed up. So here is what I've done. Could someone please tell me if I've gone wrong somewhere or what I'm missing because I'm sure it can't be that difficult.
I have an Atrix 4g that's rooted and running Adeo 0.1.7. Had zero issues doing either of those two things. Also I'm running Vista 64bit.
I've tried this in both normal and as administrator.
When I tried to push a file or list devices I get this. "daemon still not runningerror: Cannot connect to daemon"
When I tried adb shell su. I got permission denied.
I uninstalled sdk and reinstalled and now when I try to push I get "Not found." The other two are still the same problems.
I also added adb to the enviroment variables.
I used VanillaTbone's adb for dummies app. Which installs all the drivers for you automatically. So I don't believe there is an issue there. I've read all the threads I could find, but any issues I've seen have to do with rooting an HTC and the solutions I've seen are ones that I can't do on this phone. So I'm at a loss and my eyes are about to burst into flames from all this reading. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar issue and it was fixed when I went into root explored and changed to r/w. Hope your fix is this easy...

Preparing to root 3D (fr3vo)

Well it seems some files are gonna need to be pushed over ADB and i have been trying to figure out how to get it working on the 3D. I am very familiar with Adb had it running on my 4G. at first I was getting "device not found" so then I hooked up htc sync and now I get "operation not permitted". Maybe if someone know what driver needs to be installed it can get posted here, cuz everyones gonna need it.
adb devices shows that mines attached.
I'm sure you have debug mode enabled... did you see if there was an update for the android sdk tools?
When I went to root my NS4G I had to update everything, and then it changed my android sdk\tools into android sdk\platform-tools.
Couldn't get crap until I realized that one.

That was for manual pushing. Shinzul is packaging all the pushing and chmod commands into a packaged app for temp root. This should be fairly simple for all users.
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide

Download the attached zip, extract it to a folder.. Go into device manager and find your phone. Right click and choose update driver (or something similar). Choose browse my computer for drivers. Click let me pick my driver from a list. Click all devices. Click have disk. Browse to the folder you extracted earlier and select 'android_winusb.inf'. Choose 'Android ADB Interface'. You should now be able to use ADB with your 3D, albeit very limited due to no root access
So, FAIL on my part. I guess i did have it set up properly.I kept trying to run "adb remount" and thats when I was getting the error(need root). Didn't even think to try other commands but thanks everyone who helped out, got it figured out.

[Q] ADB

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.
I just did this today, install SDK from android.com; then you have to install HTC Sync.

You don't actually need HTC Sync. I've never installed it and don't plan on it. All you need is a custom driver .inf that we put together for you already.
This should help you if you have any questions installing the sdk.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
You could always just install HTC sync (which will install the drivers) and then uninstall HTC sync. The drivers will not be uninstalled.

I followed that set up exactly, but I am unable to get adb to recognize my device at all. No "Unknown Device" shows up in device manager so I can not change the driver for it. Not sure why I have such trouble with adb. It's never worked for me.
Are you setting the path to the platform tools in your system variables?

And as expected, not only will ADB not work, not that I changed the drivers according to the guide, my computer won't recognize my phone when it's plugged in as a disk drive. Running Bamf 2.4.1. I rooted with the 3 step/"1 click" method months ago and never had any problems. I try to get adb set up so I can do things properly and learn and now I have nothing but problems.

Got it sorted. I ended up deleting the android sdk and starting from scratch using the first link....and it didn't work again. Tried the video link above...and it didn't work. Then I figured I'd try to delete the adb device in Device Manager, unplug my phone, then plug it back in. That worked for some reason. Now it shows up in adb properly, and I can connect it as a disk drive as well. Huzzah indeed.

[Q] NT=Android ADB interface instead of Android composite ADB interface. WTF!

downloaded all the stuff from the thread. everything went smoothly. i watched the video step by step. after uploading the usbdrivers to my NT it said
"Android ADB interface" instead of "android composite ADB interface"
it shows up in my device manager as a nook tablet still.
i derped. so i thought it would be ok anyways and then tried to zerg rush the baster-ahem NT only to see that the Zerg didn't even find my device.
i promptly decided to just wipe everything from my nook and start fresh but also every single thing i tried has failed to get rid of that blasted "android ADB device" from the one click unroot thing to doing a 8 step reset thingy and just plainly reset and wipe data from the stock settings, and now many hours later i have had enough and decided to swallow my pride and flaunt the noob card. i need help. i must find a way to wipe everything or maybe i can take a step from here. i dunno. derpy derp.

hm... well not sure if this is hidden anywhere in your description but did you try reinstalling the nook tablet drivers? since you have android adb device right now, uninstall that and if windows prompts you to restart you should do that. When you uninstall the adb drivers if there is a checkbox saying delete driver software for this device make sure to check that as well. basically what i am trying to say is you want to start fresh as in there should not be any reference to android or nook on your windows pc
another program that may be helpful is using usbdreview which is a program that monitors all devices with usb drivers. this may help is attempting to delete any reference to android and nook on your windows pc. hope this helps!
EDIT: just to add this tidbit in, if your having troubles with ADB, chances are it has nothing to do with your NT but rather with the drivers that Windows has installed already. There's a guide to installing ADB correctly, here's a link:

hm.. well if it keeps on auto installing generic drivers you will need to disable auto installation of drivers by windows. try looking through each of these links and see if it solves your problem. fyi you should uninstall all drivers relating to android and nook before proceeding

well this is weird one atleast for me. i had all those settings on at the very start of the rooting process. and in the end i need to enable in the system config the USER to override the automatic driver install policy. so my anti install was thwarting me this entire time!!! ugh!!! total noob but we all gotta start somewhere. thanks to everyone for helping me out!

ADB not working.

My computer doesn't see my Rezound. Unknown devices is what comes up. I do have debugging enabled, and HTC sync not enabled, set on charge only, have the htc drivers installed, and I have the SDK tools renamed to Android in my C:/
I dunno what else to do.

on the android development forum. The thread Stock Rooted OTA by Con247 . Feralicious posted a mini-set of SDK tools that Mr. Smith had put up awhile back that contains what is needed to run most adb commands from.
Find that post, at one time it was the last page of the thread, by now I am sure its a few back. Unzip those tools and create a folder on the C: drive somewhere and then you can use that folder to run your adb commands.
Granted without the proper path linked you will have to place any files you want to send to the phone in that folder and when starting up the cmd box either do it from that folder or you have to change directory so that you are using that folder to run the commands. It will work though so give that a shot until you can figure out how to properly set up Adb. I know i had a heck of a time as well.
Check your device manager. If you updated your phone with the OTA, your PC could have a hard time seeing the new device. Your phone should be recognized as an Android USB Device.

Suggest you remove all android drivers (and htsync if you have it) and start over with the tools mentioned in the thread above. I had a similar issue where I could run adb but it couldn't find my Rezound, and I just uninstalled everything and found I had multiple sets of android drivers (dating back to my Incredible) fouling things up.
Once I reinstalled the right drivers and just right drivers, I was good to go.
It's also possible that you have 2 different versions of adb. I had to end process on adb.exe and then restart adb in the folder I was using. Apparently, my pc was looking at 2 adb files and didn't know which one to use.

ADB isn't phone specific, so two versions only truly gums up the works like when we just got HTC unlock and people were downloading ADB all over the place.

[Q] ADB Command Execution problem

I have my phone connected to my laptop via the USB cable and the ADB is able to identify the device. When i run adb devices it returns the phone in the list of connected devices. Running the command adb shell now gives an error stating:
reloc_library cannot locate 'fdatasync'
Infact running any command on the terminal emulator installed on my phone also returns me the same error.
Has anyone faced the same problem or has any pointers to a solution to it?

Do you have busybox installed? It seems as if the /bin directory doesnt exist or contain the proper files. Thats about all i got as of now
I have not been able to install busybox on my system. I have tried all possible versions and all possible ways of getting it installed but nothing works.
whats meant by "nothing works"? in fact you clearly installed something on your phone so it cannot start a shell anymore, did you reboot after you played around?

Well that is more than likely the issue, are you rooted? And you've tried the busybox installer from the market?

When i say "nothing works" what i mean is i have tried various busybox installers on the market and none of them seemed to work. Everytime i get the error stating that BusyBox could not be installed.
I have tried rebooting multiple times as well.
