did you install the sdk and adb in linux? you might need to configure some things

Here's what I did on 12.04:
sudo apt-get install adb && sudo apt-get install fastboot
This should install the proper programs. Open up a terminal and type 'adb devices' to see if your phone is there. Fastboot has to be run as root(sudo). No need for USB drivers on Linux.

Thanks guys i did both those prior and adb recognizes it and if i fastboot devices it works but when trying to get my token to unlock bootloader it just says waiting on device any suggestions? I got it to work once but ivcant figure out how to copy just the token not the stuff in parenthesis lol. I know its something stupid im drawing a blank on and im gonna face palm when told how to do it lol.

[Q] 'ADB: device not found' looking for sulutions.

Here's the situation: Couldn't get retainroot working on previous occasion on my 64-bit system. Installed SDK on 32bit Win 7 system and was able to use both beforeupdate.bat and afterupdate.bat. Now...when trying to use any of the MODS available, adb cann't recognize my device and I get error messages like "psneuter failed to execute properly". I've done my searches on this subject in XDA but i don't think anyone else's experience is the same since the Atrix is a bit different. This is the first time i've had so much issues with adb. If anyone has any clue whats going on. I've all but given up on this device. I'm 14 days in with it and all headaches.

Make sure that you've mounted USB as "None", you can do so by pulling down the notification bar. Hope that helps!

make sure usb debugging is ON, set usb connection to NONE. I'm assuming you have sdk installed in c:\ of computer. Then go to cmd prompt and type: "cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]
Then, type: "adb devices" [enter]
Should detect device, or something is wrong.
Hell, just go install the CWM and install the mods that way. A lot of them are updated to now work with CWM. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143

Windows 8 CP + ADB?

Hey I installed windows 8 customer preview the other day and I'm trying to figure out how to get adb to work on it. I'm still trying different methods but if anyone else has gotten it working, please let new know. Thanks!
EDIT: Let me just say I finally got it fixed up! Since I had installed Windows 8 CP x64, I had to google for the HTC drivers in 64 bit. Eventually I had to update the device driver in "Device Manager" on my PC and locate the drivers on my hard drive for the 64 bit, that finally got it set up, and now I can flash as I did before on Win7
If anyone else has any issues, I'll be sure to type out a better guide to help!

Thanks for the tip - got fastboot working on Windows 8 64 bit by disabling the 'Driver Signature Enforcement' at bootup, then force-installing the Samsung ADB driver with my phone connected and in fastboot mode.
Even though my phone is a Sony Arc, the Samsung ADB driver still works, and I've just used fastboot to flash my phone from Windows 8

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?

Link in my sig. You will have to relock and ruu before it works though because just relocking causes a security warning

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!!!

[REQ] s-off kit for win7

Hi,
I just got the phone and it's fantastic. I've just rooted and unlocked the bootloader thanks to Hasoon's kit. The problem right now's that I can't find the S-Off kit for Windows 7. The partition table on this laptop's weird (HP!), meaning that I can't dualboot Ubuntu, LiveCD can't happen since this laptop doesn't have a CD player and liveUSB apparently won't do the trick either. I'd be appreciative to anyone who'd be willing to help.
===
alternatively, has anyone with Windows used a liveUSB with success? I know the website says that it wont work but....
===
liveUSB is a no go, it seems.
so long story short, no way to get to an Ubuntu computer w/o liveUSB and in need of SIM unlock

Hi there, I have been fighting this for months. There is no solution until htc releases new drivers. I dual boot Linux in order to use fastboot.
Oh I see thanks for the response I guess ill do the same
