Put your unlock.bin into toolkit folder, and just follow other steps in order, also copy supersu to your sd card and flash from within recovery. hasoon has made our lives easier with AIO

also make sure the path to your AIO folder has nothing but single words. If you dropped in it the desktop and your name is two words, it might have trouble. Move the folder to your c drive and try from there instead.
I used AIO on win8 pro with no trouble

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.
I just did this today, install SDK from android.com; then you have to install HTC Sync.

You don't actually need HTC Sync. I've never installed it and don't plan on it. All you need is a custom driver .inf that we put together for you already.
This should help you if you have any questions installing the sdk.

You could always just install HTC sync (which will install the drivers) and then uninstall HTC sync. The drivers will not be uninstalled.

I followed that set up exactly, but I am unable to get adb to recognize my device at all. No "Unknown Device" shows up in device manager so I can not change the driver for it. Not sure why I have such trouble with adb. It's never worked for me.
Are you setting the path to the platform tools in your system variables?

And as expected, not only will ADB not work, not that I changed the drivers according to the guide, my computer won't recognize my phone when it's plugged in as a disk drive. Running Bamf 2.4.1. I rooted with the 3 step/"1 click" method months ago and never had any problems. I try to get adb set up so I can do things properly and learn and now I have nothing but problems.

Got it sorted. I ended up deleting the android sdk and starting from scratch using the first link....and it didn't work again. Tried the video link above...and it didn't work. Then I figured I'd try to delete the adb device in Device Manager, unplug my phone, then plug it back in. That worked for some reason. Now it shows up in adb properly, and I can connect it as a disk drive as well. Huzzah indeed.
My computer doesn't see my Rezound. Unknown devices is what comes up. I do have debugging enabled, and HTC sync not enabled, set on charge only, have the htc drivers installed, and I have the SDK tools renamed to Android in my C:/
I dunno what else to do.

on the android development forum. The thread Stock Rooted OTA by Con247 . Feralicious posted a mini-set of SDK tools that Mr. Smith had put up awhile back that contains what is needed to run most adb commands from.
Find that post, at one time it was the last page of the thread, by now I am sure its a few back. Unzip those tools and create a folder on the C: drive somewhere and then you can use that folder to run your adb commands.
Granted without the proper path linked you will have to place any files you want to send to the phone in that folder and when starting up the cmd box either do it from that folder or you have to change directory so that you are using that folder to run the commands. It will work though so give that a shot until you can figure out how to properly set up Adb. I know i had a heck of a time as well.
Check your device manager. If you updated your phone with the OTA, your PC could have a hard time seeing the new device. Your phone should be recognized as an Android USB Device.

Suggest you remove all android drivers (and htsync if you have it) and start over with the tools mentioned in the thread above. I had a similar issue where I could run adb but it couldn't find my Rezound, and I just uninstalled everything and found I had multiple sets of android drivers (dating back to my Incredible) fouling things up.
Once I reinstalled the right drivers and just right drivers, I was good to go.
It's also possible that you have 2 different versions of adb. I had to end process on adb.exe and then restart adb in the folder I was using. Apparently, my pc was looking at 2 adb files and didn't know which one to use.

ADB isn't phone specific, so two versions only truly gums up the works like when we just got HTC unlock and people were downloading ADB all over the place.

I was trying to flash a different rom onto my phone with TWRP and wiped EVERYTHING, OS and all, and now i cant get android file transfer on my mac to recognize it so i cant put the rom on the phone to flash, and my PC wont recognize its attached.
Anyone know what to do? apparently im a complete moron when it comes to phones lol

EDIT** i found something about adb sideload but it keeps saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command" in command prompt even tho i installed the android SDK. i feel like im missing something

a sorry didnt see that you are using mac... well then you need to add your adb command to your path variable so bash can find it... should be the same principle on mac as for other operating systems. just google that or execute the command directly from within it's directory so bash can find it.
edit: ah ok then good that it's fixed

As a Nexus 4 user, I take into note that I do not have expandable memory. When it comes to roms and backups, I tend to copy my backups and store them into Google Drive and delete them off f my device to save memory Well I've had my fun with Ubuntu for now and now I'd like to return back to Android, but because my nand is not on my device I cannot restore it. I've tried to connect my phone to my computer so I can put my nand back into my TWRP folder so I can recover back to Android but it seems that I cannot access my internal storage from neither Ubuntu not TWRP.. any suggestions?
There is a universal nexus Linux toolkit in nexus 7 android development, works for all nexus devices. You can flash your backup with that, or another ROM.

I can access my internal storage from TWRP, in fact it didn't touch my sdcard. That's weird.

Right now I am using the Nexus Root Toolkit, and I did make a backup through the program before hand, but I cannot perform the steps as it asks for. I've tried flashing stock through the program as well and I currently have no luck doing so. I have yet however to try ODIN, I may download it and see if I can get somewhere.

I may have worded it wrong, I meant as in accessing my internal storage through my computer so I can move my nandroid into my phone so I can recover from there.
I will go ahead and download ODIN and give that a try, I will post my results.

I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus, flashing with ubuntu touch/phone. on my gentoo linux after running adb as root you can push any ROM in zip file format to /sdcard
Code:
adb push NameOfRomFile.zip /sdcard/
boot into TWRP/CWM ... flash rom (presumed android rom). ubuntu phone/touch is on developer preview stage. But Canonical said ubuntu device phone will be release in October 2013 ... I doubt the phone will be something better, ubuntu does not make something new ... unless it is ubuntu ... LOL. What I wonder, it is ubuntu, but to access the phone via PC still using ADB and NOT UDB .... ubuntu debug bridge
Lol, Ubuntu Debug Bridge on Ubuntu Touch connected to an Ubuntu desktop while watching an Ubuntu TV. I think the world would explode from too much awesome.

mod can you move this to the right section just realized where i posted
I'm new to Samsung but I'm going to say no. Of all the reading I've been doing about Odin (I previously only used HTC devices) is that it is windows only. And if you are going to do anything with a Samsung phone you need Odin.
There were plenty of solutions for Mac with HTC as long as you knew the correct adb commands with terminal. Going to have to setup boot camp on the old iMac downstairs to run windows. Still have a copy of XP. No way I'm wasting any disk space on my Mac air for windows.
I booted and rooted inside of parallels on windows 7 with ease. Only hiccup is I needed to move the files to a differebr folder other thanbmy documents
