I'm not really sure what you're asking.
In order for ADB to work, just turn on debugging in settings > Applications > Development.

My phone is already rooted, but i wanted to return my phone to best buy but i have super user on it. I believe i need to put the phone in adb shell mode? If not, can you please give me he right directions to take out super user?

You need to put it in download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN. Check the development section for the "Stock rom in case of brick" thread.

This will trip flash counter, if u are still completely stock just rooted, don't do this method.
Get USB drivers and install from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24539068
Reboot computer
Enable USB debugging under settings on phone
Download adb from this post:
http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t
Its actually superuseroneclick, but when u unzip adb is inside
Connect USB cable to computer and one drivers are installed, open command prompt
Navigate to folder where u unzipped adb and run "adb shell"
Then type "rm /system/app/Superuser.apk"
Exit command prompt and reboot phone, successfully unrooted
No one has had a issue with flashing the counter and sending back the device..I've sent devices back without sd cards. Batties (well that one was years ago) and IN FACT A NOTE WITH 8 FLASH COUNTS before hey had the reset zip..lol........your worried over nothing believe me..not one phone call or bill flash the reset counter zip.and walaaa.. using odin is the much easiest safest way for anyone flashin thru download mode..,but if adb is what ya like then adb it is...to each there own...let us know how it went.,ok

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help with my prime. Just got it a few days ago and rooted it just fine using vipermod. The used OTA root keeper to save root for ICS. After installing ICS, I restored root and everything was fine. Then I noticed that my prime would loose wifi signal ever 2 minutes. I did a factory reset thinking that would fix it (and it did) but now a few things are beyond messed up and i can't figure it out! For one, I cannot access the notifications area (when i tap it, nothing comes up) the home button also does not work at all. so i tried to install cwm so i can re flash the ROM from scratch but now ADB does not see my device AT ALL. i tried everything. i have all the drivers installed and all. I'm at a loss and extremely frustrated. does anyone know whats going on here? how can i get adb to see my prime so i can flash cwm? or is there an alternative way to completely flash the rom? (i also tried the method on asus' website by downloading ICS and placing it on the root of the SD, and still nothing)
You won't be able to install CWM without unlocking the bootloader (and voiding your warranty first). After that, you can no longer flash a ROM from Asus without bricking your device. There is the latest updated ROM in the dev section though.
Good luck!
I did that as well and still nothing :-/
For ADB to work you need to have usb debugging enabled on the tablet....probably a silly thing to ask but always have to check...

yup thats enabled as well. when i first got it with 3.2 on it, i plugged it in and drivers installed automatically and adb recognized it right away. now that ics is on it, adb cant see it. i have never ran into this with any android device ever.
Mine did that once and I also had to disable ASUS Sync in settings. After that ADB worked fine.
Update the drivers on your PC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
If you do it right, it will work.
BUT YOU DONT EVEN NEED ADB, LOOK BELOW (I am not advocating not knowing how to adb but lets just fix your prime)
Since you have unlocked your bootloader you can install CWM and just install the latest Virtuous Rom:
If you dont have CWM download Rom Manager from the market, run it, select "Flash recovery" at the top. (btw rom manager just released this today)
*Note that the 'reboot into recovery' option within RM will not reboot into recovery, you must do it manually.. See below
-Backup your apps with Titanium Backup if you want
-Download Virtuous S
-Boot into recovery (directions beneath)
---Power off
---Hold Vol Down (-) and Power until you see spash screen with white text at the top THEN HIT VOL UP (+) within 5 seconds. this will boot into recovery
-if you are coming from stock then: select "wipe data/factory reset"
-Install zip from sdcard, browse for the rom
-Profit?
Guys, thanks a million for all the replies! After uninstalling the drivers and re-installing them then moving my ADB directory to the root of my C drive, it now recognizes my Prime and I was able to flash CWM. I'm now running Virtuous Prime and loving it! Thanks again!

I would still recommend that you go download Rom Manager and flash the new recovery.
The one in the thread in the dev section is an unofficial port. The one is the Rom Manager is official and works a little better.
Additionally, if you plan to use ADB in the future, there is a simple thing you can do to make it so that within command prompt you can type 'adb' commands ANYWHERE, and not just in the folder that your adb files are..
Right click on Computer--> Properties-->Advanced-->Environmental Variables
Click edit on PATH in the top box if it exists already, add ';' to the end of the previous path and enter the path to your ADB, mine is like
Code:
C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\android-sdk_r16-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\;
and if it PATH doesnt already exist just create it.
Hope I helped

I need someone to walk me through pushing a ROM to a soft bricked HTC One. If you have a paypal account I will gladly pay.
Please let me know. I dont have alot of time to get this corrected.
Ok I don't have a PayPal but il still help because that's what xda community is but here we go..
1. If you have cwm recovery installed then scroll down to sideload a rom through adb
2. Next plug the phone into the computer and download the rom you want . Rename the rom to something short like apple.
3. The easiest way to sideload is hasoons toolkit so make sure you have it and open it.
4.in the toolkit there is an option called adb sideload so just click on it and choose where you downloaded the rom from the directory.
5.sit back and watch the progress
A simple thanks would do
Anymore questions or if you need more clarification just post

In case it helps, the saferoot zip file has a copy of ADB installed.
Start a command prompt (start/run, type cmd then enter).
Use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you unzipped saferoot. Then "cd tools" and you should then be able to use adb shell.
Edit: Your Safestrap on MK2 should be Safestrap 3.71. Just uninstall that using the Application Manager and it'll clean up after itself.

Unrooting the Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon):
1. Download and place both the archives on your Desktop.
2. Extract files from both the archives over to your Desktop.
3. Double-click on the Odin executable file and it’ll open.
4. Click on PDA and select the Stock Firmware file available on your Desktop.
5. Make sure you haven’t checked Repartition box in the tool.
6. Checkmark the boxes that say Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
7. Now turn OFF your device
8. Turn it back on by holding down Volume DOWN+Home+Power buttons together.
9. Press the Volume UP button to go into Download mode.
10. Plug in your device to your PC using the USB cable.
11. Hit Start in the Odin and it’ll begin flashing the stock firmware on your device.
12. It will take some good time to flash the firmware on your device, so sit back and relax.
13. Once the firmware’s been flashed, reboot your device.
14. You’re all done!

In your adb folder press shift + right click and open the command prompt window from there and try that. Try a different USB port?
HTC DNA
Saw and tried both with no better results. I ended up using the recovery flashable zip in santod's closed thread without any problems. I know it's not the full RUU, but whatevs for now. Thanks though!

When booted into recovery go to device manager on your pc. Do you see an icon with a yellow exclamation mark? If so, right click on it and go to where it lets you choose a driver from a list on the computer. Choose android adb composite interface.

In addition to what @jd1639 said, once your device is recognized by your PC, if you continue to have problems when in recovery menu, try to unplug and replug in your USB cable.

EDIT
i found it and i install composite adb driver even if windows was saying me that it can't verify driver's signature.
installing ota with sideload is safe?

Yes. I would add that it's a good idea to unlock your bootloader first. If something goes wrong and your bootloader is locked, you're pretty much screwed.

Actually two steps. 1st check that box in developer options. 2nd, boot to bootloader and enter this command > fastboot oem unlock
NOTE: This will wipe the contents of your SDcard.

do you suggest me OTA sideload procedure or wait for official ota?

Your choice. Process and likely outcomes do not differ. My point is regarding risk and reward. I understand that you don't want to unlock or wipe. My caution to you is this: the OTA package sometimes fails to install, part way through the process. If your bootloader is locked, your device will probably be bricked and your only option will be RMA. I'm not trying to scare you into doing something you don't want to do, just pointing out the facts. And it doesn't matter whether you sideload the OTA, or wait for it to show up on your device. The risk is the same.
On the other hand, if your bootloader is unlocked, and the OTA fails, you can easily recover from it. In fact, you don't even need to sideload the OTA. You can then fastboot flash the Google factory image.
uhm... ok... i'm understanding...
don't you think a bricking ota is almost a paradox?
i mean... Htc & Google make a update with errors or problems? it's foolish.
I can understand a custom rom but two giants like 'em...
i don't know what to do... i'm gonna think about it
thanks for your help!

I'm certainly not debating the paradox with you. I'm just providing advice based on my own experience, and the (unfortunate) experience of other users on this forum. Good luck with what ever you decide to do here....
