Anyone know how to fix this?
I tried a reinstall of the PC Companion software, but that didn't do any good.

Update android sdk
Tried that, and no dice, still doesn't work. Strangely enough, the rooting still worked.

used to happen to me on ubuntu sometimes.
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
make this a .sh file and run outside terminal.
if you run inside terminal, then it will give the error again after closing the terminal

might want to download this zip extract the files and put it in your path
adb-fastboot-and-other-tools-zip
remove the already existing adb.exe in SDK or rename it to some other name. and try adb commands.
it should work as iḿ using it every day.
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Or go to

Yes. Closing the flashtool worked for me. If any one having problem try closing flashtool or something that is using adb.
That happens to me when i wanna start sdb server for manual root while having flashtool open.
For my case, I check USB debugging as it uncheck automatically...

To the OP, I don't know if this is the case for you but I changed my path on my Windows PC like the guides said to and that didnt completely work. (Maybe neede a restart). But in any case if you go to the command prompt, change directories to were you have adb and run your commands from there, it works like a charm.
For example if you unzip the the SDK in your download directory, open up the command line and type:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Downloads\<whatever-you-named-the-unzipped-folder>\tools
ADB is in the tools directory you just went to. From here you can run the adb command without having to set up the system paths. This is a quick and dirty explanantion and might not even work for you. I was running this on Windows XP when I had this problem. Same thing had to be done on my Ubuntu Linux box b/c I'm to lazy to set up paths on that one, lol.

Oops, didnt see that you allready posted this. Yea do what zephiK says and it should work.
i have not been able to get adb to work no matter what i did (i am using xp) and i have been trying since i had the htc magic last year. here is how i recently got it working.
i downloaded the one-click root zip file and unzipped it. inside there is a adb.exe file. i clicked it and then then made sure my phone was in debugging mode and connected to my pc and used the command prompt to point to where adb is in my android sdk which for me is cd\androidsdk\tools
adb devices
i hit enter after tools and enter after devices and now it works. not sure why but it does. i couldnt get my magic, my nexus one or even the galaxy to work until i did this.
i got everything done. i think? only problem is im getting $ sign instead of # sign. any ideas?
i got adb working. thanks everyone.
A thread success story without any casualties. Almost makes me weep.
im trying to root my atrix, i have followed the steps in the post however each time i type in the flash preinstall preinstall.img the cmd says that it cant be read....im lost. is there a easier way too root instead of cmd. btw im on 2.3.4 i did nothing to my phone, im just trying to root it so i cant install roms
Make sure that you put all your root files, on your pc, on c:\root, and not in a subdirctory. Then, while you're trying to root, make sure you are in that directory when you're entering the commands.
the files inside the folder i download have to be in a folder or just in C:\
also when im in cmd the whole time it says that im C:\documents and settings\something>
also im running windows xp on a macbook if that matters let me know
make a folder in c:\
To get to root directory in command prompt: "cd c:\" (+ any other folder destination that you want to get to).
ok i flashed the preinstall and rebooted the phone, do i have do go back to fastboot? or just stay with the phone on (but the cmd says phone not found)

No, it needs to be on usb debugging to use adb.
If i remember correctly one of the steps does give you an error but you just ignore it and type the rest of the commands. Im not sure if that is the step you are on though.. Im just recalling from memory. Complete the rest of the steps in the tutorial you are using and see if it works

well I'm about out of suggestions here. My only other one is to run cmd "as administrator" or you can flash an image with root built in.
However, it should work. this is the method I used to root my atrix and countless others as well. Also you may want to make sure you have the right device drivers installed too.
whats the other method? coz i just keep getting this stupid premission denied the whole time, or how do i know if im on admin cmd?
Get rootchecker from the market and check to see if you have root privileges.

To run as admin right click cmd and choose the "run as admin" option.. If you are admin the directory you start out in is C:\
windows/system32.
i think thats the problem coz im running as "owner" but i cant get into admin becouse there is a password required that i dont know, anyone know what would be the password?
Hey guys,
I'm trying to root my phone on a Mac, but it doesn't seem to be working. I do all of the commands in Terminal, and the daemon starts running, but it just gets stuck. Fastboot is unchecked and USB debugging is on. I'm also set to "Charge Only". Any idea? Thanks!

If you try adb devices does it find your phone? I would suggested trying to root after a fresh shutdown and power back on. Also try a different USB port.

Doesn't hurt to try on another computer, but are you getting any positive result when doing the ADB Devices???? That can help us troubleshoot with you.
hmmm how do i do that?

You open a command line, go to the directory where you have the files and type adb devices or ./adb devices
sorry for being so clueless, but where is the directory?

ok ill try that
Hello all, I've been really happy with my XPS ever synce I've root it and everything is working clockwork, except there is something eating my battery.
I've used "BetterBatteryStats" app, and i've got a parcial wakelock "AlarmManager" in 1st place.
I've read that to know eacly what app is waking the phone i've got to connect the phone to a Pc, run "ADB" and type "adb shell dumsys alarm > C:\alarm_log.txt".
This will creat a log file that will show what app is generating all those wake numbers, and then unistall or limit it.
The problewm is... what is ADB.EXE??? Where can i get that program for the pc? Does the phone have to be in USB debuggin mode? If someone help me I'll post a guide to anyone in need to find the problematic apps that eat battery for others noobs out there!

2. Here is a guide to set up SDK... http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/developer/android-sdk-install-guide/
4. Browse to folder platform-tools adb.exe is inside... but u can't just click open it.. adb is used via command prompt (cmd)
5. Easy way to open cmd to adb is Shift+ right click -> click open cmd here
6. To connect phone in adb u have to enable usb debugging mode as u said..
7.Then start typing commands....
Thank you a lot for the aswer!
I DID goodle for the answer, but I had an hard time undestanding what I should do, I'm a pharmacist, not a technician.
That beeing said, the other part of the info I posted I found using the search funcion.

To perform this actions, is it mandatory that phone needs to be rooted?
Because, i followed all the steps, when i executed the command in cmd prompt, i got below info
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
What should i need to do now if phone doesn't needed to be rooted?
For using adb not necessarily ur phone rooted... but if u need to get anything insdie system folder ur phone needs root access... you can pull/push files from adb.. but it makes more easier if u do those for sdcard via windows explorer after connecting via usb..
In short its for rooted devices mostly.....
Ok, still need help on this one.
I've followed all the steps, installed SDK, phone in development, command line accepted, but then I check the log file I get this:
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
So... Why is it now finding my phone? any idea? When am i supposed to connect the phone to the pc?
Thank you for the help!

dumpsys, not dumsys. With a P.
Like me I'm sure many of you were very surprised to log in today, as most have been doing everyday for the past month or so to find that not one, but two methods for obtaining s-off on the DNA were released within minutes of each other. First Revone and then, coincidentally enough, Moonshine was released minutes later. Somebody didn't want somebody else stealing their thunder I'm guessing. I'm just kidding...I'm sure both sides worked extremely hard on their respective methods and deserve mad props for the time spent on this and for waving a middle finger in the face of Verizon. Having said that I have tried both methods and have been unsuccessful so far at each one. I have to pose my questions here because I'm a new member and the development threads are off limits to me.
I tried the Revone Method first and like many were saying in the actual thread, my phone kept auto rebooting after the ./revone.dna -P step. I tried everything I could think of including all of the suggestions from the other users who finally got it to work by trying different things. Has anyone figured out what is causing the auto reboot? There has to be something specific causing this. One thing I have noticed with my phone is that USB Debugging has been very unreliable as of late. It turns itself off and on at random times and a lot of times the box is checked to enable it but it's not on. I don't know if this is playing a role in the process not working for me. I got the "success" message after every step several times but never actually achieved s-off.
I finally gave up on Revone to try Moonshine. I really didn't want to have to fo this route since I don't know a thing about Linux. I decided to go the boot from flash drive route so I downloaded 32 bit Ubuntu 13.04 iso and used universal USB installer to put it on my drive. I am using an external hard drive that is already formatted to fat32. I did NOT format the drive because I didn't think I had to since it was already fat32. Universal USB Installer was successful in putting Ubuntu on the external drive. I then went into my bios and changed the boot sequence to boot from the external drive first but when I rebooted it just loaded up Windows like normal. What am I doing wrong here? I'm running Windows 7 64bit but it was my understanding that this should not be a problem. Do I have to format and/or partition the external hard drive even though it is already fat32 before putting Ubuntu on it?
I'm dying to get one of these methods working but I'm currently stuck. Any newbies like me that can't post in the Development forums have any ideas as to what is going wrong here or would anyone else like to chime in with their own issues? Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. :good:
Follow this guide for using an external USB device.
Modify the boot sequence like you were doing before, hopefully you'll get in to Ubuntu.
You say you don't have Linux experience, so I'll simplify the process for you:
Once at the desktop, press Control + Shift + T. This will open the Terminal, which is basically the Linux version of Windows' cmd.exe. Once inside, open up Mozilla Firefox (included) by using the side bar, the icon should be there. Download the version of Moonshine for the DNA, and then switch back to the terminal.
Type in these commands:
cd /home/Downloads
tar -zxf moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz
sudo ./distiller

Click to collapse
And then let Moonshine do its thing.
Modify the boot sequence like you were doing before said:
Thank you for the response. I saw in the instructions it says to put the moonshine file in the ~Downloads directory. How do I do that? Also, I think I am going to try the disc method instead. Does it matter if its a cd or dvd? And I never did ask if the version of Ubuntu I had downloaded was compatible with this method. I downloaded Ubuntu 13.04 32bit for use on Windows 7 64bit. Will I have any problems? Thanks again!!

Oh and one other thing I forgot to mention regarding the revone method...the directory \data\local\temp did not exist on my device prior to me creating it when I pushed the revone.dna to my phone. Should I have had that directory on my phone already?

I am in a similar boat. I am trying to use revone as I can't get ahold of linux. I downloaded the sdk and revone, moved adb to my C: with the revone file. Everything goes smoothly until i reach the -P step. Every single time it reboots after saying success. If I try to run the -s 0 -u command after that I get failed to map memory, success, revone failed = -1. If I try the -P command again, I get the same message with error code 2. If I try to reboot the bootloader, I get error device not found. I've been at this for hours, and Jerry from Android central even walked me through it, everything ended up successful ans when the bootloader rebooted, it was still locked and s on. Help please?
I dont even know what command to type into CMD for Revone. how do i push the file I have revone on my desktop downloaded and SDK installed..
Next step is?

I moved adb and its two counterparts in a folder named ADB_WIN, in my C: drive. From there, I typed cmd.exe in the search bar, it opened the command box. I typed in adb push revone.dna /data/local/tmp/ ENTER adb shell ENTER cd /data/local/tmp ENTER chmod 755 revone.dna ENTER ./revone.dna -P and that's where my error started coming in. You can try this, not sure if this right, but if its not, hopefully someone will correct me.

32 bit should work fine. You need a DVD because a CD is too small. ~/Downloads directory is just the current user's downloads folder. So most likely it would get downloaded to there anyway.

That's the command you use, adb push. Use it in a terminal. So..assuming windows use explorer to go yo where you downloaded the files and have revone.dna then hold shift and right click, choose open prompt here then type
adb push revone.dna /data/local/tmp
If it complains about command not found for adb add the adb.exe and its libraries to the same folder then try again.

Try 'adb devices' and see if it recognizes your phone. Do you have usb debugging enabled? If so toggle it off and then back on while the phone is plugged in then wait about 10-15 seconds and try 'adb devices' again to see if its recognized now

Yeah looks like the file pushed successfully. Now u do "adb shell" then "cd data/local/tmp" then "chmod 755 revone.dna" ....and so forth. Make sure ur adding the extension ".dna" to revone (revone.dna) each time u type it. If u just put revone it won't work ull just get an error
