ADB? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have my Atrix rooted and I am working on the webtop mod, however I cannot access the files I need to download until I have reached ten posts on the forum.
Aside from that, can anyone fill me in on ADB.... thanks.

That doesn't sound right. You got a link?
Anyone can access any files if they are registered on XDA. It's only replying to posts in development that is not permitted until you've been here for a few days.
ADB itself is actually a google method of accessing debugging and development features of android.

cant get webtop on hdmi need more help!

Ok i need to give this one more shot and then im giving up!
I am unable to get webtop to work thru wifi, only the other services, and that is how i got my phone on ebay with alien4.
I have tried the methods shown but i dont understand a couple things.
what files i actually need for 4.5.91 and where exactly to put them?
What commands to use in adb as there seem to be differences, i'm pretty sure i dont need the odex as they dont work.
do i need to give rw permission myself or do the commands shown in the thread do that?
I would appreciate it if someone could give me some step by step noob instructions as i think i'm missing something?
Thanks!

[Q] How to calibrate screen in ics

How do you calibrate the touchscreen in ics?
the calibration.ini trick does not seem to work
(I can't even find the TSCalibration program anywhere ...)

Do the calibration through CWM. Run the "echo ..." command here after an "adb shell".
no such directory as /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch on ics

I know. Which is why I suggested doing it using CWM. See post #2, above, again.
I *did* read that - but I have only the faintest conception
of what an adb shell is. I don't particularly want to go to
the trouble of installing the sdk for which I have no need.
That's why I *hoped* the simpler way in the original post
might work.

FYI: I don't think you need to install the entire SDK just to run ADB. The adb executable (and, its libraries) alone should suffice--it does on Linux.

There is a simpler method now. Go through that post again. I've got a zip file there which you can flash using CWM.

that's great. There's a warning about which kernels work but
I assume that the kernel in ics is OK, right?
Edit: sorry, you meant the CWM kernel so that's OK
Edit2: and it works fine - many thanks

coby 1125 ics touch screen calibrate
Could any of you please help. I upgraded the coby from gb to ics using the various techniques listed. I was eventually successful, however, I can't really use it because the touchscreen seems to be backwards, and mirrored. If I'm not mistaken, it seems calibrated for the 8127, where mine is 1127 10" widescreen. the "about" displays it as Model# mid8127, o.s. ver 4.0.3. I can't use any aps to correct since no file manager is present, and it is next to impossible to type through get jar. I couldn't follow the directions on this thread keenly, so please explain step by step. Though I got ics to work, somehow, I'm a rookie, and don't understand tech stuff that much. I have access to ubuntu 12.04, and windows, so I can connect the tablet, which I have done, but I don't understand how to use abd, nor cwmmanger. I tried, but got confused, though I was on windows 7. Please give me the steps in plain terms how I may use ts_calibrate, or any other method to c orrect the touch issue. If there were a way to access the start menu or file responsible and edit that. Such was the case on another tablet of mine the wm mid8650, where a similair issue occured installing uberoid. I had to edit for the 8" screen vs the primary 7"
Thanks!

You should talk to the guys who created the ICS for your tablet. They're the ones who'll be able to help you.

The steps in this thread are specific to a) the Tegra 2 Harmony-based tablets manufactured by Malata (eg. the ViewSonic gTablet) and b) to the stock or stock-derived kernels for those tablets.

I see, missed that. Thanks anyway, but the version is initially from coby germany i presume, but I may have picked mine up from a thread link, and since I've visited many souces, I'm not sure. I could contact coby germany, but not sure how forthcoming they would be. Thanks anyway! I think this needs to be done on sd card some how.
Thank you, rajeevvp!!!! Flashing the zip file through CWM has definitely made touch sensitivity miles better. Working great now!!!

Updated root method and ADB drivers???????? any links

so i came across this Nook Tablet 16 gig and i am trying to root and install Google play on it so i can give it to a friend but... All of the tutorials either are no longer valid or more importantly i cant find a valid link to get ADB drivers???? so for example this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487 the link for the drivers doesnt work and thats the main problem???? anyone?? have a link to a more updated and organized thread
What do you mean "not valid"? The ones you find here certainly are valid!
You do not need ADB. Guides telling you to use that to root are kind of outdated!
You find 2 links to perfectly fine working roots in my topic, under section B.

[Q] Trying to install Ubuntu. Getting permission errors

Hey all. i'm following the post here but i'm getting some errors. Looks like other people are getting them as well but I ahven't seen a viable solution yet.
Anyway, I've found the linux folder through terminal (/mnt/sdcard/linux), but get permission denied errors all over the place when i sh install.sh. I apparently can't access all the places on my phone when I connect it to my PC, so I can't move the folder to my phone even though through windows, that's where I "am" when I put it there.
Does anyone know how I can get this working? Or if there's another way to get Ubuntu on here?
Thanks

Check out our development dev only section for dev discussions. They are working on making it for our phone. That guide you linked won't work with any phone like they claim.

[Q] Server Maintenance error when trying to flash P769

I'm trying to root my phone using the Lelus method. As far as I know, I'm following the instructions to the letter. When I get to the actual flashing step, using the ICS T-mobile rom, I get the same "Scheduled Server Maintenance" error that Kevev reported in the guide thread on the development forum. Apparently, he was able to successfully flash, but I don't see any information there as to how he got around the error. I have tried repeatedly and always come up with the same result. Since I can't post yet in a development forum, I have to ask the question here. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't have a clue. I ask your indulgence, and would appreciate any help you can give me.

I have it nested several directories deep. Did you get it to work when you put it in C? I'll give it a try.

You get such hiccups if you dont follow the simple instruction first. Many people have habit to extract/save everything on desktop. C drive means C root location of C drive. And you must be logged in as "ADMINISTRATOR USER" on windows 7/8 to avoid access/permission issues.

I'm used to Linux rather than Windows and when possible I put things in a user's home directory rather than the root directory. Since all that the instructions said was C drive, I interpreted that to mean anywhere on the C drive, not the root directory. Now that I put the program in the root directory, everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for your guide!
I just rooted my p769. I had a few hiccups.
Line 5a says optional, but really it's a necessary step if you've never done it once. If you've edited your HOSTS file and are running shttp, then it's not gonna be able to download/update what it needs to. Close shttp and rem out the lines in HOSTS until it updates, the continue as normal.
shttp has to be extracted in C:\
Mine ran from desktop but the 127.0.0.0:9002 test for the girls picture was file not found, look at shttp dialog window and you see it couldn't find the file because it wasn't where it expected it..
Also did you forget to right click and edit UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe compatibility tab if you're running win7/8 like it says to?
Once I set it all up according to the image in the thread and clicked "Normal web upgrade test" it gave me an error box. Saying to setup Tool > B2C Client Setup.
After that it was easy sailing. Well other than the fact that some of the KDZ/bin files were either missing, deleted or dropbox blocked the account for excessive use..
