Has anybody got a Sony Tablet S being recognised by adb?
It seems to be blocked :-(
And yes, I have done all the usual enable USB debugging etc...
I can not use it for development :-(
---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------
Managed to sort it myself
you need to cd to your .android folder (on a mac, this is ~/.android) and then type
echo 0x054c > adb_usb.ini
Where 0x054c is the vendor id for Sony (I got that by looking at the attached evices in the 'About this mac' preferences)
Now adb sees the device - woohoo
would this apply if i just wanted to use it to transfer music and such? I am not incredibly savy with coding but i tried to enable debugging and all that. I am justnot sure whats the problem.
No, the Android File Transfer program still works without this
Good to know it can be used to dev on. Anyone have any information on how to send data out using the IR blaster, I dont think there is support for it in the native android libraries from what I can see?
The following procedure has confirmed that ubuntu 11.04.
The following procedure has confirmed that ubuntu 11.04.
1. Enable debug mode for sony tablet S
2. Add line /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
3. Change file mode
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
4. Add line idVendor to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
0x054C
5. adb kill-server ; sudo adb start-server
6. finish!

I don't seem to have that file
I had done all the other steps in order to mount the tablet and copy files over (which works great).
Does anyone have issues with Sony's Music player failing to update the database? Music appears in the native Music app correctly but nothing in the Sony one
Found a way on Windows!
With the help of the vendor ID from above and the following article on generic Tegra Tablets, was able to get it to show up on Windows!

1.You must have Android SDK installed before you can proceed. If you don’t have it already, proceed to our guide on what is ADB and how to install it. Make sure you download the Google USB Driver Package as well.
2.Open the google-usb_driver folder that you will find inside your Android SDK folder.
3.Open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad or any text editor to edit it.
4.Add these lines under [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64] depending on whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows. If unsure, it is safe to add these under both these sections. ;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
Don’t edit or replace any other text that is already there; just add these new lines and save the file.
5.Open a command prompt window and enter this command: echo 0x054C >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Note: this is where you have to use 0x054C instead of what is at the link, otherwise it wont work
Now your Android SDK drivers are configured to support any Nvidia Tegra based tablet. To be able to use ADB and other SDK tools with your device, you can proceed as follows:
1.On your tablet, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and enable ‘USB Debugging’.
2.Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. You will get a notification that some drivers were not installed, which is OK for now.
3.Right-click ‘Computer’ and click ‘Manage’. Identify your device from the list, right-click it and click ‘Update Driver Software..’.
4.Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer.
5.Choose to view all devices and click ‘Have Disk…’.
6.Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder and select the android_winusb.inf file.
7.If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, just choose to continue installing.
8.Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device.
9.To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands: adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Also, using BRKs Transformer's instructions found a way to boot Tablet S into recovery: has reboot, update from ZIP and factory reset options
a) Hold down power and volume UP button
b) when SONY logo appears, release power button but keep pressing volume UP button
c) should load into recovery
This also gives us the MTP device driver, which I have been unable in finding/installing
No luck so far with Automated rooting tools, working hard to crack this awesome tablet!

I was just forgotten the:
4. Add line idVendor to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
0x054C
So i created the file:
touch ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
and echoed the line into the file.
Works lime a charm now.

Downloading Google USB Driver package, revision 4
File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\usb_driver_r04-windows.zip (Access is denied)
Done. Nothing was installed.
I tried downloading and installing
(Can't post links)Download: Android USB Drivers - Original (Firmware 1.0)
But when I try to install the drivers for the tablet through device manager it says:
The folder you specified doesn't contain compatible software... ...Windows for x64-based systems.
Apparently this driver is only for x86. But after googling "download Google USB Driver Package" that's all I can find.
Got it...
At least I was able to "enable it" through the USB port,
thanks to this exercise in frustration.
Alas no root screen cap still didn't work.
It flashes wildly and does nothing.
Anyone happen to know the proper command line in system variables for win 7 for adb should be?
I haven't used adb in forever, and I think alot of peoples issues with adb is in the fact they cannot use it outside of the android/android-sdk/platform-tools directory. As in you can just type adb shell, adb start-server, adb kill-server from the root dir. I had it set up before, but with a new comp now, and I forgot what it was before.
whats going wrong
i cant seem to get the device driver on my adb at all. no matter what i do i cant get the usb driver sorted. this is where i get stuck"
Please add 0x54c into .android/adb_usb.ini file under HOME directory by using following command from command prompt.
echo 0x54c >> %HOMEPATH%\.android\adb_usb.ini
home directory???? every time i try this from home directory i get nothing.
this is my problem.... i dont have this file or entry. what is the entry?????? o notpad doc??,
adb_usb.ini file was missing the 0x54c entry! <<< what is this. a screen shot goes a loooong way.
Adb was simple with my x10 and sgs2 but man this is giving me the ****s.
can someone please post a few simple screenshots of what directory is supposed to be where please?

Official Sony instructions
Looks like Sony has posted official instructions for setting up ADB with the Tablet S:
esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=878
After following their instructions I still had to go to Device Manager, choose to Update the driver for my tablet, and point it to the SDK/usb_driver folder. After that it works great.
debug
Hey guys i have installed the android sdk and the sony s drivers from the official site as dreadengineer posted. but after run the adb devices command i was unable to saw my device.
After that i tried the automated installations that BluechipJ posted, but the result was the same i cannot see the devices neither on eclipse or adb devices command.
i want to debug my application on this device but i could not access it. Can someone help me.
I have a windows 7 x64 OS. i'm able to debug on htc phone and also on the super slower emulator

Windows 7 Sideload Instructions
Hope this helps some people - I tried to be very step-by-step about it.
Again, thank you Pokey9000, the guys and gals from the IRC channel, and everybody else for all of your hard work! 99.9% of this is an aggregation of what is already in this thread; some of it comes from nookdevs also.
You will need the following applications on your Windows 7 computer:
- cygwin (www dot cygwin dot com)
- Android Debug Bridge (ADB) - this comes with the android SDK
- Android USB Drivers - this comes with the android SDK
-- (WOQ) stands for without quotes, it means that I am giving you something between quotes to copy and paste.
-- if you see <some_odd_name> inside quotes, it means you MUST replace this with something from your specific OS instance (e.g. a drive letter, or something)
1. make sure your NC is disconnected from you computer
2. make sure your SD card is mounted on your computer (readable/browsable in explorer)
3. Install cygwin - you only need the base install AFAICT (YMMV), don't worry about the options for now.
4. download nooter at http //www dot mediafire dot com/?hugt8uxcfffpdvg
5. extract the contents to a folder in your cygwin install (standard install path is c:\cygwin)
6. Go to: Start, type in (WOQ) "compmgmt.msc" - this may require UAC elevation
7. Select "Disk Management" under storage
8. note the drive letter of the SD card and the disk number
9. Go To: Start > All Programs > Cygwin > Cygwin Bash Shell
10. At the prompt, type (WOQ): "mount //./<f>: /dev/sd<c>"
Where <f> is your drive letter, and
<c> is the letter you would get if you zero-indexed the disk number into the alphabet (i.e. 0 = a, 1 = b) **
11. press enter - there should be no output
12. at the prompt, type (WOQ): "dd if=<path_to_nooter_from_cygwin_install_folder>/nooter_sdcard_40MB.img of=/dev/sd<c>"
It will sit at this for a few minutes seeming to do nothing, be patient; you should get a response eventually that looks like:
80326+0 records in
80326+0 records out
41126912 bytes (41 MB) copied, 174.525 s, 236 kB/s
13. remove the sd card from the computer and plug it into the NC
14. power down the NC (hold power button for 15 seconds)
15. connect the NC to the computer
16. Wait for a "Composite Device" to be recognized by Windows and fail to install drivers
17. Wait for 15 seconds after the recognition
18. power down the NC
19. remove SD card ***
20. Find your android_winusb.inf file - this is located in your android-sdk install directory in the usb_driver folder. (NOTE: if you installed this in the program files folder, you will need to UAC elevate your editor to edit this file)
21. Paste the following lines into the file below both occurrences of the line ";Moto Sholes" after the ADBInterface definitions:
;B & N Nook Color
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&MI_01
22. save the file and close
23. find your adb_usb.ini file - it is usually located in c:\users\<username>\.android\
24. add (WOQ) "0x2080" on its own line
25. power on NC - at this point, the NC should boot normally, but ADB won't be able to recognize it
26. Go To: Start > Devices and Printers
27. Right-click on Nook and select properties
28. Select the hardware tab
29. If you have something that says "Nook" and has a yellow yield sign with a "!", then continue, if not skip to 38
30. Click on "Nook"

32. Click Change Settings (may require UAC elevation)
33. Click update driver
34. Select "browse for driver software on your computer"
35. Browse to the android-sdk/usb_driver folder
36. click next
37. You should be done; skip to 47 (I have no idea if this is correct - i pieced it together from somewhere in this as I did not get Nook to appear in the Device Functions List)
38. If you don't have a "Nook" Device Function, click on "USB Mass Storage Device"
39. Select Properties
40. Click Change Settings (may require UAC elevation)
41. Select the Driver Tab
42. Click Uninstall
43. Click OK
44. Disconnect NC
45. Reconnect NC
46. You should be done (this is different from my previous instructions on how to uninstall the NC USB drivers, I have not tested it so YMMV)
47. Go To: start > run > cmd
48. type (WOQ): "cd <path_to_android_sdk>\tools"
49. type (WOQ): "adb.exe kill-server"
You should get something like:
* server not running *
50. type (WOQ): "adb.exe remount"
You should get something like:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
remount failed: No such file or directory

Just to throw it out there...
Does this cause a PERMANENT change to the Color Nook?
Edit: thank you for posting this
I believe it was mentioned in a previous post that if you did a factory reset (power off completely, then hold power, nook button and vol up) that it would reset the Nook back to non rooted factory defaults. Can anyone else confirm this?

Do you think a partitioned SD card woul dprevent this from working?
I'm pretty sure my card is partitioned....I read something in the BIG THREAD about departitioning a card.....
I can't get this to work for me and I just thought my card might be the culprit.
Thanks
I cannot find the file listed in step 23. This is the only thing keeping me from root. Also when I plug my nc in, the light on the cord is amber instead of green. It tells me that adb drivers are installed. But it won't show up as a folder in my computer any more. How do I add files without removing the SD card and plugging it into my computer.

I did this on 32 bit - AFAIK, they don't support cygwin on 64 bit yet (it might run though, but YMMV).
The back and menu buttons are soft-buttons. The nook for some reason hides them by default in a bunch of apps.

It could be hidden (so you'll have to change the hidden files and folders setting), or installed in another user directory (like Admin).
If I run Windows XP, how many of these steps would change? I'm thinking it might need its own thread.

So once your rooted, do you need to do anything special to install apk files that you download from dropbox? Is superuser ready?
i cant find the android_winusb file in the windows XP version of the android SDK. is there a different one that does the same?
EDIT: it appears the sdk is not split between versions of windows

Very little changes; the only thing I can tell you off the top of my head is that
C:\users\<username>\.android\
Becomes
C:\documents and settings\<username>\.android\
Also, I don't know where, besides device manager, that you could locate the nook like you do in devices and printers - it may show up in my computer, also in scanners and cameras in the control panel - you can always right click a drive, select properties, select the hardware tab, select the b&n storage device, click properties, select the driver tab and uninstall from there....
HTH
EDIT: To delete the NC through device manager:
start > run > compmgmt.msc
browse to Device Manager
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Select USB Mass Storage Device (there may be multiple)
Right-Click and select "properties"
select the details tab
in the dropdown, select "Hardware Ids" - if this says "USB\VID_2080&...." then this is the NC
click ok
right Click again and select uninstall
disconnect NC from computer
reconnect NC to computer
NC re-finds all drivers, including ADB
start > run > cmd
cd <android-sdk-dir>\tools
adb.exe remount
Fixed instructions!

When you updated the SDK, did you install the USB drivers also? If you did, that file should be in whatever directory you installed the SDK in under the usb_driver subdirectory.

I'm an idiot, I was certain the USB Drivers were installed. Done and done now, sheesh what a waste of time!
now to hunt for adb_usb which is being a pain to find too. Has anyone found adb_usb on XP?
I can see the folder C:\documents and settings\<username>\.android\ but theres two folders in there for AVD and AndroidDesktopNotifier. Maybe if someone can upload the adb_usb file I can just throw it in the folder and cross my fingers?
Has anyone connect their archos 101 to adb successfully?
As long as you have the SDK already installed, follow this (I originally posted this over at the Archosfans forum). I assume you're requesting this for Windows.
----------------
Go to the usb_driver folder (In your SDK root).
Next navigate to the android_winusb.inf file.
Open that file up, and immediately above the [Google.NTamd64] line, and the [USB_Install] line, add the following:
Code:
;Archos 101
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411&MI_01
Then plug your Archos in, and if it asks for drivers, point it to that file. If it doesn't ask for drivers, then navigate to your device manager and find the device with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Uninstall, and then when it finds it again, point it toward that file.
Done.
----------------
Hopefully that will do it for you.
Hi Harfainx,
I followed the steps you mentioned by some how it doesn't work. When calling "adb devices" nothing is showing up.
Deos it matter if my A101 is still in 2.1?
Doesn't matter, I've done that on both 2.1 and 2.2.
Are you ensuring that your system is actually updating the driver to the new file?
If so, do a system restart. That should fix your problem.
In device manager, I can see Android Phone -> Anchos G8 Composite ADB Interface. So I guess drivers should be properly updated right?
I have restarted both the PC and tablet both but still can't see the device in adb
Linux
Anybody know how to get adb working on a linux box?

Dont forget to modifiy the ".android/adb_usb.ini" (found in your user account folder) file in a terminal/command prompt
Code:
echo "0x0e79" >~/.android/adb_usb.ini
or on Windows:
Code:
echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"

Well, my fix is for Windows, which you don't have to add anything to any other folders.
For Linux it's a bit more difficult. For Windows you only have to add those lines into the one folder (at least that worked for many users on the Archosfans forum since about two weeks ago).
(Rom)
anyone know if there has been a rom put out yet for this thing, and anyone give me some tweaks i could possibly do.
installed market and thats really it, read alot about the z4root and theres still some issues with it, so i dont really want to try it out yet

From the archos website
First make sure you are running the latest ARCHOS firmware. Connecting by this method will give you user shell privileges. Learn more to know how to use ADB on Windows, Mac or Linux operating system:
* Go to the Android SDK page and download the latest SDK for your operating system. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
* For Windows users only: Install the Archos ADB USB Driver for Windows. The driver is available at the ARCHOS support ftp (ftp://support.archos.com). Instructions how to install the driver are available at USB Driver for Windows site on Android Developers.http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
* Add Archos vendor ID (0x0e79) to adb_usb.ini in .android folder in your home directory:
o Windows: echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
o Macos: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
o Linux: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
* For Linux users only: You need to add a udev rule if ADB only works as root:
o Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that contains the following lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="e79", MODE="0666"
o Make the rule known to udev with the following command:
udevadm control --reload-rules (or udevcontrol reload_rules on older systems)
Thanks! I will try this soon. Looks promising.

It seems like some people need to add the lines to the .android folder, and some people don't. Not really sure why it works for some people by just modifying the .inf in the SDK.
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=42495
With an A101, and an A70 at least that's all I needed on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
I never edited anything in any .android folder until I put ADB on Ubuntu.
I see that some people needed to add those lines it, but some people haven't had to do that. Obviously it's best to do it if you're having problems, I'm not arguing with you there.
I wonder why some people need that line and some people don't... Maybe it has to do with having the Gen7 (A5IT) ADB drivers installed from before.

I followed your instructions here and on archos fans, in cmd I enter adb devices, doesn't list it but says devices listed. Using esbdview it shows a driver and a serial number. Any other suggestions, and yes I rebooted. Didn't help.
Did you try editing the file in the .android folder as outlined by Supagforce further up in this thread? Some people are able to have it work without editing that file, but others have to.
Finally ADB is working.
I did it with a combination of instruction from Harfainx and some other from archosfans forum.
Here are the steps:
1. Go to the usb_driver folder (In your SDK root).
2. Next navigate to the android_winusb.inf file.
3. Open that file up, and immediately above the [Google.NTamd64] line, and the [USB_Install] line, add the following:

4. Then plug your Archos in, and if it asks for drivers, point it to that file. If it doesn't ask for drivers, then navigate to your device manager and find the device with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Uninstall, and then when it finds it again, point it toward that file.
5. start run %userprofile%
find folder called .android
Create/Edit adb_usb.ini, add 0x0E79 inside. Save. Restart ADB service.
After the last step, the A101 shows up with the command "adb devices"

Even though its a Mac cant you run things in a Dos like mode with c:\ prompt?
Google came up with this
I looked FOREVER for these instructions. While I didn't write them, they definitely worked for me:
- Download the Android SDK for Macintosh at: Android SDK | Android Developers
- Extract it
- Download Fastboot for OSX (If not included with SDK)
- Extract fastboot and place it in your /tools folder.
- Open up a terminal window
- type: pico .bash_profile (this will create a .bash_profile)
- type the following in the new screen: export PATH=$
{PATH}:<sdkfolder>/tools
- Hit CNTRL + X
- Hit Y (for yes to save)
- It will return you to the terminal screen… type: exit
- Restart terminal.
- Then you can use your adb commands like you would on a PC. To test this, plug your device in (make sure its in debugging mode), then type "adb devices" in the new terminal window. It should show up with a number. This means you are good to go.

A better statement is he can run things like you would on linux, because osx has a bash terminal built in. Type "terminal" into finder. Sadly, most osx people have no clue that exists, which is sad because it's not a hackjob like cmd.exe.
ok i got all the way to the last step and the terminal window keeps saying: -bash: adb: command not found and -bash: sdkfolder: No such file or directory

Yes you are right. I corrected it. Thanx
so maybe fastboot in recovery could be achieved with that kind of method? i'm going to buy sony s, then i try to help btw someone said that the tablet is recognized with recovery but there were no drivers found? maybe the drivers for fastboot should be modified to install correctly?
--edit:
ordered. will get one tomorrow

TUTORIAL ON ADB AND LOGCAT : JDMC : Just doing my contribution.
This is part of TeamAscend, so if you are going to post this Tutorial on other forums please credit me, visit our website : I AM AWESOME!
Hello this is just to teach newbie users on how to install adb and get it working, I will also teach you how to use logcat to help devs with particular issues, okay lets get into it, I will try to be as formal and understandable is I can, I'm still a 15 year old so bare with my written language, not that its bad but we Kiwi's use weird slangs...
Setting up ADB
1. Okay first of all we need to enable Android debugging.
1a. To do so, head into Settings > development and check android debugging, If you're on CM10 + you will need to set Developer Options to "ON" then select Android Debugging.
2. Get a usb adapter and connect it to your pc and connect your device. Let it install drivers "If it's the first time.
3. Download "SDK Tools". and install it to your desktop for now, you can move it later when you want.
4. Now create a new folder on the desktop and copy all SDK contents into it so its neat and tidy.
5. Open "SDK Manager" and un-check everything except "Android SDK Platform-Tools" and click install packages, wait till it's done then close the window, now you should be in the folder that contains the SDK Tools etc... if you see the "platform-tools" folder you're good to go.
6. Now open the "platform-tools" folder and copy the destination output at the top.
7. Now we need to set the new destination to CMD, click the start button type "cmd".
8. When it opens type "cd" obviously without the ", now hit space and click paste now your command should look something like this...
"cd C:\Users\Your PC name\Desktop\the folder that contains the sdk tools name\platform-tools" here's mine : "cd C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\ADB\platform-tools". Now hit enter, your target folder will change.
9. Once its done type " adb devices", make sure your phone is connected! now hit enter and it'll show your device, now you know ADB Is up and running! If doesn't show your device continue to the next step, if it does continue from step "11".
10. Download the HTC drivers and install it, plug your phone again and wait for it to install all components, if MTP fails to install just ignore it. (If your storage is on MTP), now repeat the procedure from "7" again.
11. Now lets Logcat, Now there are 2 different approaches to the logcat, I will be showing you how to do both in this tutorial. Neither one is more correct than the other, it is 100% personal preference. Feel free to try both and see where you get.
LOGCAT PROCEDURE
Doing logcat from inside the CMD window.
1. Make sure your phone is plugged in and debugging is on, now repeat procedure "7" to set target folder if it isn't already done. ie : cd _____________________________ <-- your folder destination.
2. Type "adb logcat" without the " and hit enter. It will then print a list of random writing, whether you understand or not, it doesn't matter, it's not for your use .
3. To save the logcat for devs to use, once the logcat is running, please RECREATE the bug/issue you are having. so that it logs the error into it, now to stop the logcat hit "ctrl" + "C".
4. Once this is done please RIGHT CLICK choose "Select All" then press "Enter" on your keyboard this will copy the entire log to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a .txt file to upload and show to devs.
Doing logcat to text file.
1. Now repeat procedure "7" to set target folder if it isn't already done, make sure your phone is plugged in and usb debugging mode is enabled. Once this is done we are going to type the following command "adb logcat > logcat.txt" without the ", this should initiate the logcat, it will appear as though nothing is happening, this is correct!!! So don't worry.
2. Once the logcat is running, please RECREATE the bug/issue you are having. To stop the logcat on your keyboard press "ctrl" + "C".
3. Now you've done logging, note the logcat.txt file will be located in the platform-tools folder, just open it and you will see logcat.txt, upload it for the dev and he/she will investigate.
More ADB Commands for various logcats Thanks to "Tcpaulh" from Modaco.
External adb folder, just needed thanks man : Download
1. radio logcat for Wifi issues.
adb logcat -b radio > radiolog.txt
2. kernel logs.
adb shell
su
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.txt
exit
adb pull /sdcard/kmsg.txt
3. kernel message buffer (on request).
adb shell
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
exit
adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt
This was a tutorial I wrote up for my old device, users found it easier to understand then most, I cleaned this one up a bit which should be suitable for the Desire X, note, I may ask allot of question like a noob on the Q & A but HTC is so confusing.
Hopefully, users start using this so we can help out our devs, our sweet sweet devs, so they can whip u some magic.
If this helped, hit the thanks meter, no need for donations.
