I have downloaded the Android sdk. I've downloaded the fastboot link. I went to install the sdk and it installed the two packages: tools and platform tools. But when I looked in platform tools it has adb but no adb.exe.
In red it said:
Stopped ADB server failed (code -1)
Preparing to install archives Downloading Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 14
Installing Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 14
Stopping ADB server failed (code -1).
Installed Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 14
Downloading Documentation for Android SDK, API 16, revision 2
Installing Documentation for Android SDK, API 16, revision 2
Done loading packages.
Then I went to command prompt and typed in adb (to make sure the installation went well) and it did not recognize it.
thank you to anyone who takes the time to help.

You have to change directories to the android sdk folder and the platform tools folder another way is to download the windows version of the rooting script from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059688. Unzip it and run the .bat script.

This may be a noob problem on my part but I have been having problems navigating fastboot through command prompt. I have been able to successfully install fastboot on my laptop and have no problem getting my streak to go into fastboot mode, but command prompt doesn't recognize my commands when I type "fastboot" after getting prompt to "c:\streak>". I have followed the guide "what you need to know about the dell streak" to the letter but no luck. Help please
You can't install fastboot you need open the command prompt and navgivate to where u have the files extracted.
For example for me I extracted repaire tool in c:/streakrepair
So I do
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd streakrepair
Then u can will the fastboot commands make sure that where the fastboot file is.

I'd post the link but can't search streaksmart for how to sideload apps without adb
This should help you out on how to get unkown sources to appear.

So I should just use this command in fastboot and it will give me the option to disable this security setting?

Hi Friends,
I am new to Android Development, so i created a simple app in Eclipse using ADT (On Ubuntu), now i want to deploy it on my Samsung Galaxy Note (ICS 4.03)
I have created the app using the correct api version (15), however i am unable to see my connected phone as a target to run my app on.
Upon further investigation i ran lsusb to check if my android has been detected, however i cant see the phone anywhere in the list.
I have set the USB Debugging Option.
My Question is, how do i detect if my android phone has been detected by Ubuntu, i can see that the phone is charging but how do i check if the mobile is ready to receive data in the form of apk's for deploying the app ?
Thanks,
Abhishek
You will need to make sure you have adb set up correctly

While messing with adb is not really needed, trying to understand the command line made me realise, i can just build to my dropbox folder and install the apk when it shows up in my dropbox on the phone.

I dunno whether it works on build 4, but if you have exTweaks, you can enable the mtp option from there. That works with 12.04

There are solutions available, that I am using on a daily basis:
1. first thing: ADB via Terminal
The Android SDK includes a few comandline tools. One of these is adb (Android Debug bridge) which has a few commands included,
Just to name a few: push (sent), pull (copy from device to pc/laptop), backup (user data with or without sdcard) and a few more like shell = remote terminal access to device.
Install it by: (without "")
"sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb"
then: "adb devices" and you should see your device as something like "09A48348HHHF1"
then sent (push) or copy (pull) files with "adb push /home/USER/downloads/1.avi /sdcard" or adb pull /sdcard/movie.avi /home/USER/downloads"
to see the files included in a folder type : "ls" or "ls- la"
2. Use ADB via Graphical frontend: e.g. the ADBfileexplorer by DareT0Be (THX a lot and all credits to you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
It's written in JAVA and can be executed on every device running java theoretically (Ubuntu, Windows, MacOSx,....)
A little trick is written at the end of the first page to execute it. I wrote a script to run it easily:
#!/bin/bash
DIRECTORY=/home/USER/Downloads
$1 cd $DIRECTORY
$2 java -Xmx512m -jar adbfileexplorer.jar
echo $1
echo $2
Save it: Once again via terminal: "gedit SCRIPTNAME.sh" copy and paste it, change Directory to the directory of adbfileexplorer. save it.
Make it executable: sudo chmod 771 adbfileexplorer.sh
Create an alias at your desktop or where ever to easily open it.
3. USE google to find the MTP scripts and mounting solutions - Which I don't use.
If that helped YOU hit the thanks button.

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
Sent from my HTC One XL
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
No system on phone and sd is clean.
How do i put a rom in my storage if all I have is twrp.
Also if anyone has a stock 4.4 dump ill be happy.
Twrp wouldnt update from 4.3 to 4.4 when i was working.
Look around for adb sideload... Using TWRP is under advance.

You could do the option mount > usb-otg
But you need to get a piece like this to work. See picture. Google usb-otg and check pictures

I just googled adb sideload tutorials and found this: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-copy-rom-zip.html
It might not be a perfect method but I only needed to copy a file.
Which makes me wonder, why recovery doesnt let you browse your storage when connected to a pc.

I mount USB storage in TWRP in the mount option in TWRP and connect my USB. This method has worked but getting the PC to know it has storage can be s little annoying.
