hello, new user here. just got my maxx in today and love it!
ive been looking online on how to root it on my mac, seems easy enough.
however, went i go to type in "sh run.sh" to run the root exploit, it says:
[*] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
then it does nothing and just sits there.
am i missing something? USB debugging is on, it is on Charge Only. i cannot figure out if im missing a step here...
also, this is using the MotoFail exploit, if that helps at all.
so i think it might have to do with USB debugging NOT working. which is odd, phone is stock out of the box right now, why wouldnt it work??
Strange... Have you tried a normal command via adb like "adb get-serialno" if you get your serial number then debug mod is working.

i have not yet, good idea though. can you explain how id do this exactly? sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to adb. also, im pretty sure debugging isnt working.
Oke I dont own a MAC but am using Linux. I need to set the usb to pc mode to make rooting work with motofail. Maybe that's your case also?

I don't own a mac but you just need to open Terminal and cd to the folder where you extracted motofail.

How exactly do you enable ADB i was doing the whole root this morning and tryed the webtop mod and i was going to push the commands through adb but i couldnt get it to work so what exactly do i need to do to enable this
Settings, applications, development, usb debugging. That's it
Make sure you have drivers installed on your computer

I have tried that, and it does not work.
When you say doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? What happens when you try to use the adb command?

Ummm. It does work because that's the only way to enable usb debugging on the phone. Sounds to me like you need to read up on what ADB is and how it works.

or you need to get the required drivers, I found windows update installed most of them without issues but I installed the one from the rooting tutorial for safe measure.

I'm running Lion 10.7.4, I can fastboot without any difficulty but not ADB...
does anyone have any idea about what could be wrong or how I can update my drivers on my phone maybe?

I am EXTREMELY unfamiliar with a MAC computer, but I imagine it would have a command prompt like program. I believe it's called "Terminal" on MAC.
Have you tried manually running adb through terminal with a command?
Or is it just a problem within the phones adb?
Tried putting your phone on USB mass storage like mode, such as mount as disk drive?
Just trying to think of some things off the top of my head.
ya I've been using terminal and ADB shows that it starts up perfectly like my windows side. I can run fastboot commands with no problem, I've hooked my phone to the computer regularly and also as a mass storage device and ether way it doesn't recognize it.
I think it is something wrong with the ADB code on my phone because I was able to run adb with my brother's phone and my mac recognized it. his phone is stock he hasn't rooted it or anything...

That's pretty strange. Have you tried flashing to another ROM?
Ya I flashed by to my stock rom and it still didn't want to run... I flashed to an MIUI rom and it didn't want to recognize it ether... so I don't know what's going on... I did unlock my phone using the HTC method, but I did it through my windows side so that might be the reason because it was flashed under windows instead of mac, I don't know if that would really make a difference since it's the same language for fastboot and ADB... what do you guys think? if you think if would make a difference then I'll do it but it just takes a LONG time to run you have to lock the bootloader and then unlock it again, wipes all my data and then I have to reload everything over again... so if you think it would make a difference I'll definitely try it.
Did you get s off before you tried flashing roms? I know that miui is packaged with a custom kernel and you can't flash roms in recovery that have a custom kernel with s on.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
no I don't have s off, but I do have an unlocked bootloader and through adb and fastboot I can flash custom kernels, right now I have imoseyon-6.1.AOSP+root and running liquid Gingerbread 3.2 ROM, Android 2.3.7, with the tbolt's update a few months ago HTC locked down the Bootloader and there's no new program like revolutionary to unlock the new bootloader that I know of... I can change everything on my phone except the Radio, but it's through ADB and fastboot you just have to know the codes and what you're doing haha! I've been able to do all that through my windows parellel but I want to get away from that so I can develop everything through my mac OS which is suppose to be easier, from what I read and hear.
Hmmm... I have heard linux is but not mac. I dunno maybe you're right.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Maybe you should try flashing back through windows.
I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything. I'm sure it's worth a shot anyways.

You can S-OFF with the latest update. I have a windows tool that automates most of it.
so I relocked my bootloader with my windows and then unlocked it again through my MAC and the ADB still doesn't want to recognize my phone through terminal, it shows it on my system info just not through ADB...
trter10- you can!!!??? SA-WEE-TA!!! what's the link?

Relock the boot loader and flash a pg05img to 2.11.605.19. Problem is that it wipes data

1. Make sure parallells is closed so it doesn't steal your connection.
2. cd to the directory platform-tools
3. Type ./adb devices
I didn't see if you confirmed Parallels being closed or not.
OK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! oh my goodness!!!! this was soo easy and I totally bashed my head in when I finally figured it out!!! oh my goodness!!!!
I had debugging on but I didn't have "unknown sources" marked!!! oh my goodness!!! so when I had both of those marked then it pulled my device right up on my MAC!!!
well for all of those that tried to help me thank you very much!!! I hope you all have a good day!!!
Hey guys. I'm trying to root my m8 by using the toolkit. Well, I try to get the Token ID but adb fails since it can't find any devices. I've uninstalled the drivers, re installed, tried different sources, everything and I just can't get it to be recognized by ADB.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Win8x64

I'm having the same problem

Make sure your SDK is up to date, and that you are opening the command prompt from the proper location. Also make sure that USB debugging is enabled in developer options on the device.
I've had the same issue. I did all of the above and even tried on a Mac and adb still hasn't recognized my phone. Im on win 7x64. Still researching for an answer.
I'm not sure if this will hold true for everyone, but what worked for me was to updat the adp.exe and dlls. Then after I did that, ran the get token script from the toolbox, open the phone to the home screen, and accept the connection request from the computer.
I ended up having to just start the process over again on a different computer, but it worked, so I'm happy lol.

You can also try disabling USB Debugging and re-enabling it while the USB is connected. Works for me so far
Hey guys I'm trying to unlock the boot loader through the all in one toolkit but it keeps saying device not find! All drivers installed correctly and the phone is being picked up through mass storage and connects to computer fine. I also have sdk tools installed and HTC drivers installed but the tool kit still didn't find phone. Also I run ADB devices and it didn't show up. Any ideas?

Did you try closing HTC Sync Manager?
Make sure and exit completely, right click and exit in the system tray
Yeah I've tried that. I think I've done everything and adb/toolkit will not read my phone but everything else is and all drivers installed perfectly. I'm just at a loss. Mostly all androids I've had have all been read quickly especially my last phone the note 3

Not sure it would matter since you're running commands from ADB but did you turn off fast boot in the power options? Also, I know there's a tool somewhere here on XDA where you can remove all of the android drivers and start fresh. I want to say it's called USBDeview. It was part of the WugFresh nexus 10 toolkit. I used the tool to get rid of all my samsung drivers and also HTC drivers so I could start fresh
Here's a link to the toolkit. Try using the driver installation guide there, it has the tool in it I used to get rid of all the android devices to start fresh.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
This is assuming your drivers are the problem which is what it sounds like
Edit: just use that toolkit for the USBDeview tool, not to unlock your device as it is for the nexus 10. Lol sorry had to just make sure

umm, did you enable developer options and enable usb debugging? if you type adb devices and nothing shows up, its not going to work. You should learn how to do it all manually anyways. It could save you in the future. Go to htc dev site and it walks you through it for windows and mac. VERY easy. You need to learn to use fastboot commands. Msg me if you can't get it done.

Right, and I guess I'm saying that it may be worthwhile to try cleaning out your drivers and then starting from scratch with HTC driver and android interface driver. When I cleaned out mine I had several duplicated. After removing them I was able to connect to my device just fine. I can't think of another reason why your device wouldn't connect

ive never had any problems with command ADB DEVICES showing the connected device until this phone. I CANT use htcdev because it makes me download some file called "fastboot-win.zip" and after extracting it wont opne and gives me error message of some missing file which is indeed not missing. And dont you need ADB when you get the unlock token anyway? never had this type of issue before.

You must enable usb debugging to use adb on htc. go, settings, about and click on build like 10 times until it says developer options, then go to settings/developer options and turn on debugging. adb will not work on stock rom unless you do this.
Do you have the fastboot application in addition to the ADB application in the directory from which you are running commands? You absolutely need fastboot to get your unlock token.
Also just to clarify, what exactly does it say when you try to run ADB commands? Simply "device not found?"

in the toolkit it says "device not found"..when i run ADB devices it says "list of devices" but shows nothing. Now when i run the command it says in missing some .DLL extension file
Reboot your computer, install HTC sync manager again, then plug in your phone and drivers should install properly. But of course uninstall or close sync manager before you start running commands again
newest adb? usb 2 port? I have a mac so its a little different, but i had to update my adb when kit kat came out.

Do you get the same result when you run 'adb devices' in command prompt? Also uncheck verify apps and unknown sources in security. And I just want to make absolute certain you have usb debugging enabled once more

ok so i ran the toolkit for the 3rd or 4th time and it rebooted in fastboot to obtain my token to unlock. but when i enter the token into htcdev website it keeps saying its wrong length. i checked over and over and its the right length and im copying what i see from the htc dev website instructions but three times i get wrong token length.
ok i got the code to work..now onto the next step.if i have problems ill be back here.
I have a new S4 with baseband MK2. I am getting ready to do the root etc. but I was testing ADB first to make sure it works.
I have installed the latest USB drivers, and turned debug on in the S4
I get get adb to launch, but when I use the command "ADB devices" nothing shows up.
I have rebooted both PC and phone with the same results.
Question,
Does the phone need to be rooted before ADB will work? If so....then how to I side load "Towelroot"? or anything else for that matter.
am I missing some sdk files...or something else?
Thanks

Usually when nothing shows up at all it's a driver issue. What drivers did you install where did you get them. Windows right?
Edit : root not required.

Got the drivers from samsung site...latest ver 1.5.45. phone connects to windows computer and displays directories so I know the USB driver is ok.
I did some more looking and am updating my sdk devices right now. I expect that to correct the problem.

Drivers are good then, update your SDK like you said and try again. It should work after that, I don't have an S4 but they're all the same when it comes to ADB and fastboot. Good luck.

Yup....sdk's installed and all is well.....
I sure wish I knew exactly which downloads to take from the SDK download manager....
I played it safe with the 4.3 and 4.4. I didn't know if the updates were progressive (included all past needed stuff) or just specific for the version.
