ADB question - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had adb setup for a while now. Rooted 6 different phones. Would it be better to uninstall it and reload adb for dummies or leave it and attempt root from there? The running background crap has just ticked me off.

No. Does that mean it doesnt?

If your android system usage is high, it may still be the culprit. Try uninstalling lookout and see for yourself.

I uninstalled it
My battery is very good right now. And has been for the last hour or two.
But I like having the security, so I'm lost. Don't know what to use

i dont find it necessary to have a antivirus on an android. as long as your careful about what you download then you should be fine. you could also just get a firewall to use on certain apps or if you have MIUI there is one built in

Read all the review from Market for the apps u want to run. If still paranoid, search on xda first before downloading. No need for Lookout..
I use lookout, I have no issues with battery. I keep data off unless I need it.

nOOb Question about ADB

Hey everybody, I'm looking into doing the whole root/rom thing with my Prime. I've done this on a couple of other devices, but the terminology seems to be different on every device family. With the Prime, a lot of the instructions I see involve using ADB to place files on the Prime. What is ADB, and how does it differ from simply using the drag/drop method of USB transfer?
Thanks!

Got it, thanks! I just never made the connection.

You don't even need to know anything about adb if you use the Viperboy root kit in the dev section. Just did it an hour ago. Very simple. Just read the directions thoroughly.

[Q] Fascinate not under 'adb.exe devices'?

So I currently am downloading MIUI for my Fascinate, but I've tried this on Helly_Bean and on this ROM. Anytime at my command prompt I enter:
Code:
adb.exe devices
It doesn't list my device. I installed Kies, but even that won't show my Fascinate.
I also want to note that in uTorrent it shows my device as a "Galaxy Nexus S" for some reason. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

It seems to only work if I'm on a GB ROM (I've only tried with stock GB though), anyway to make it work with JB??
Have you gone to:: Settings:: Developer options (turn that on if disabled) :: enable android debugging
By default that's all turned off

Try installing nexus s drivers.

I also have had to put adb.exe and those 2 or 3 .dll files right in the c:\

DNA all of a sudden rebooting nomatter what rom

I am moonshine rooted and running viper DNA then jumped to santod 5.5 for a couple days and had no problems until yesterday. Every 30mins or so the phone would reboot. I've tried back ups that never had this problem to clean installs, still reboots any ideas?

Did you try going back to viper then? I would do a clean wipe and see what happens. Don't restore apps or anything and see if that fixes it.

I did and I'm currently on viper 2.5 with the xda app the only one installed and it rebooted twice so far. And it was a clean install..

grab a last_kmsg or a dmesg just after it reboots, try using my app if you're on windows AFU - v1310.zip
my app does both types of logs, you will need busybox installed to the device and proper device drivers on your pc

Adb devices not working

I just received a replacement phone from insurance. I have developer mode on, DNA drivers and adb drivers installed. Still cannot get phone to be recognized in adb devices. Therefore rumrunner will not work. Any ideas why?

Did you try running it from the directory that the adb executable is in?
Yeah. Tried running it as administrator still with no luck. It was easy when I did it with moonshine on Linux with my first DNA but idk what the problem is now. I'm trying it on windows so I may be missing something.

Under Control Panel > Device Manager, When the device is plugged in what does it list as? Does it say something like MyHTC?

Install HTC Sync if you haven't already. (You can then remove the sync part and leave the drivers installed)
Already did that.

And you said you did go into the developers options and enable USB Debugging?
I tapped on the build number repeatedly to enter developer mode.

But in the dev mode did you actually check the "usb debugging" option?
Sometimes you need to turn off Dev mode and turn it back on a few times (making sure to re-check USB Debugging) and then it should work.
I don't mean to sound like you don't know what you're doing I'm just trying to cover all possible options.
so to answer your question, no. I somehow either skipped right over it or the option wasnt there when I looked. Its recognized by adb but now when I try to flash a recovery I just get "Waiting for device".

You are using the Fastboot command right and not the adb command to flash the recovery
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium HD app
I do adb devices to make sure that it is connected, which it is. then the fastboot flash recovery followed by file name.

To flash a recovery you have to boot into bootloader mode first
