Instructions for pushing build.prop to phone using adb on ubuntu - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ve got my Oppo Find5 into a boot loop by doing something stupid (modding the dpi).
I can get it into recovery and using adb (on ubuntu) and I can connect to the device (shows device id and that its in recovery), but I cant find any instructions on how to push the original build.prop to the device (without loosing any data, obviously).
Could anyone help ?
Can I edit the build.prop using adb ?
Thanks

You can pull the old one, edit it, then push it back
adb pull /system/build.prop /location/on/PC
Then edit
adb push /location/on/PC/build.prop /system/build.prop
You may then need to change permissions too

Thanks "location/on/PC " is the path to my device ?
That should be shown in the terminal ?
And just noticed that the device id I got from the command "lsusb" is different to the one that abd reports after I connect my phone (seems its a Nexus 4 : ID 18d1:d001is what lsusb reports)

No, that's just me saying you need to tell it where to pull it to, like if you wanted to pull it to SD card command would be
adb pull /system/build.prop /sdcard
This would save it to your SD
You want it on desktop
adb pull /system/build.prop /home/yourubuntunamehere/Desktop
In this case change yourubuntunamehere to whatever this is for you

Yes, that what I thought you meant, just checking.
Tried to pull it to my desktop and it says that build.prop does not exist.
Could this be because I m getting the code for a Nexus 4 if I type lsusb ? :
When I type *~/Android/sdk/platform-tools$ List of devices attached" it reports "604c7129".
Or could it be because the screen density app has deleted my build.prop ?
I have a copy of the original build prop, can I just push it to the device (overwriting any existing one if there is one) ?

I have tried to edit it on the device in Team Win Recovery, but there is no build.prop in system (or anywhere that I can find) to edit, so maybe adb is right and there is no build.pop ?

Yes you can pull the existing, but there should be one there unless deleted, try
adb shell
cd /system
ls -l
And look for the build.prop
But you're fine just pushing another one if you have it

On seperate lines ? Nothing happens and now I get this message
(gedit:5398): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/******/.config/ibus/bus is not root!

Yeah separate lines, this time try
adb shell
su
cd /system
ls -l
And for future reference paste full input/output from terminal session (either in code wraps or if real long pastebin link)

OK thanks.
Could you tell me how to push a new build.prop it to the device ?
I am trying to sort out the issues I have with the device id being wrong. Once I have I ll try pushing it to the device, once I know how to do it.
Does it matter if the device id is wrong ? I mean is it ok as long as it connects ?
Thanks

Directions to push in first post from me, adb devices is only picking up your one device correct? If so yes feel free to push

Sorry, very stressed ATM.
For location on pc do I just put Desktop, (thats where it is) or home/username/desktop/build.prop ?
And putting buid.prop at the end will overwrite the one on the device at the moment ?
Thanks

Well did it with home/username/Desktop and got this:

(-all means to back up all installed applications)
(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes
system applications; the default is to include system apps)
(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If
the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the
command line will be included even if -nosystem would
ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)

[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.

Which seems to just be a list of instructions for adb.
(sorry, been a while since I ve done it, but what do I put at the begining and end of the quotes from the terminal so it quotes it in different text ?)

Thanks, it said it was successful, but phone still in same state and still cant find build.prop in system using the file explorer in TeamWinRecovery

Tried to pull it again and it doesnt exist, apparently, pushed it again and it said it was successful. Cant find it using the file explorer though, still in boot loop. Found out more info and the app sets permissions to 777 and they should be 644, got to chmod it, but unsure how to do that and if teh build.prop does not exist, well, I cant change permissions on it. Really stuck here.

Try either fixing permissions in recovery or chmod with adb, something like
adb shell
su
chmod 0755 /system/build.prop

Thanks. So I just open adb make sure its connected then type:
"adb shell
su
chmod 0755 /system/build.prop"
Why 0755 not 644 or 00 644 ?
How do I fix permissions ? Do I mount the system in recovery ?
Shouldnt I do something in adb to get root ?
I have CM10.1 so recovery mode is TeamWinRecovery which has loads of features, including a file browser, but as I said I cant find build.prop, maybe I need to get root but nothing asks me for it.
It has a terminal emulator as well, but it asks me what folder I want to start from and thats stumped me as I was expecting a terminal just to open.
Sorry for all the questions !

No worries, questions are how you learn
In truth I can't recall what /system should be, I'm on mobile so this is off the top of my head, it may be 777 or 644 but I think it should be rw-r--r-- if I remember right, also been drinking, friends bday
You may need to mount system first too, fix permissions should be in advanced settings in twrp
When you type su that gives you root
Also dirty flashing your current ROM ontop of this one should fix your issue, shouldn't wipe anything

I didnt have root permissions and the system wasnt mounted, I mounted the system with TeamWinRecovery, re-pushed the build.prop to the phone and theres a chmod755 option in TWR so I did that and rebooted and the phone is back alive !!
Thanks for all your help !! !!
Really, really grateful.

didn't have to do that, so i don't know what method your using
It's from edgan's original post when he found the root method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131
(I should have put the link in my previous post).
Anyway, I don't really know what it is, I just know how to follow directions and it worked for me. Guess you didn't need to do it, so I guess it's a moot point. Just thought that might be why the other poster was having such problems getting root to work.
By the way, thanks for posting the video.

remote object 'dd' does not exist
I tried and got the same errors...
Would it help to push busybox then try the adb pull?
EDIT: Nevermind. The reason none of this is working is because the block is only readable by root. I'm still a little too squimish to try the temp root thing, but that's the only way to get the file.
Here ya go.
HTC Amaze boot.img
Can someone return the favor an post a stock recovery image. I ruined mine and now I cannot do a factory reset or reboot into recovery.
After temp rooting the phone do this:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Will do so after phone arrives (and if i don't brick it with temp root + permanent fix). Hope you get it earlier, as that will be end of week at the earliest.
I used NVflash to originally flash Recovery on G2X - can Nvflash be used the same way here?

[HOW-TO] Install & Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge | Drivers - Videos - Tutorial
WHAT DO I NEED?
FIRST: You need drivers, you should have them already if you are rooted eather with Indirect or Cfoesch methods.
If you don't have them then download ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip [There is NO need to install SDK on Windows]
To install Nook Tablet USB and ADB drivers correctly please watch the following video:
1. Windows
2. Ubuntu Linux
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SECOND: In order to use "adb remount" you need to install [App]: ADB Root Hijack [ADB Runs as Root now] by Indirect
LET'S START...
*All the examples refers to /data/app path you can change to /system/app or any other path you need in your NOOK tablet
- Plug your Nook tablet to your computer
- Open a CMD terminal on Windows:
Start>>run>> type cmd>> click OK (WinXP)
Start>> in search box type cmd>> right click Run as Administrator (Win7)
- Once opened type:
*Let's say your adb tools are in C:\nookroot folder
cd C:\nookroot
adb devices (If you get a code of numbers and letter means your device is recognized, if not then something is wrong with your drivers > Troubleshoot)
adb remount (to change from r/o to r/w)
-----------------------------------------------------
Commands to Fix Permissions: (There is no need of this, when you push files it gives right permissions)
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/appname.apk (for a specific application)
adb shell chmod 644 /data/app/appname.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (for all the applications)
adb shell chmod 644 /data/app/*.apk
-----------------------------------------------------
Commands to Change Owner to Root:
adb shell chown root /system/app/appname.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installing an Aplication .apk
Put the .apk file into C:\nookroot folder and type
Code:
adb install [B]appname[/B].apk
Uninstalling an Aplication
There is an uninstall adb commans that always shows failure!!!
So we are going to use Adb Shell:
Code:
adb shell
# cd data/app
# ls
# rm -r appname.apk
# ls (You will not find this application, you just removed it!)
Ctrl+c to exit shell mode
Push & Pull commands
Pull:
Code:
adb pull /data/app/appname.apk
If you want to PULL all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb pull /data/app test
to pull all the .apk's located /data/app and save them into a folder that it will create in C:\nookroot named test
Push:
Code:
adb push appname.apk /data/app
If you want to PUSH all the files located in a folder then:
Code:
adb push test /data/app
to push all the .apk's located in C:\nookroot\test folder to /data/app
Close ADB
Code:
adb reboot (to reboot your Nook Tablet)
--------------------------
adb kill-server (to stop adb server)
exit

Where's the troubleshooting FAQ? My Nook shows up as an Android phone in Device Manager, and adb doesn't list it.
Nevermind, got the drivers installed right. Stupid Windows.

Excellent. This will come in handy once I get time to start rooting the NT. Thanks
I am trying to create a batch file to run the ADB pull command so I can have my PC task scheduler run an Android backup automatically.
The one thing that is stumping me, though, is how to succesfully have the batch file auto date stamp the folder. I have this:
adb pull /sdcard/ /Galaxy Nexus Auto Backup/sdcard %date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-4,4%/
which displays correctly in the CMD prompt, but doesn't run. It instead brings up the list of commands and switches.
If I use the standard:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
it works correctly. Any suggestions on how to get the date stamp idea to work?
Thanks!!!

Hello, a link took me here because i want to know how to use "adb".
I've read your instructions on how to use adb and i search it in youtube to see it in action.
Now i want to know the difference of these commands:
adb install
and
adb push
because im confused. but i believe they're both the same,am i right? to install an app.
and same as the adb pull and adb shell? uninstalling the app.
please, correct me if im wrong
This is a bit confusing... I bricked my Infinity and I need it back ASAP, but whenever I try to push a custom ROM into the SD, it always says "protocol failure", what could this be? I got the adb drivers installed...
Win 8 Driver Signature Enforcement Fix
Well, this is my first post on xda. BTW I am a noob, regular schlub, loser user but I do try to take xda's "find it before you ask an idiotic question" policy to heart. I was able to find this solution before asking for help and thought i would share it here. All I have done is summarize the original post and updates. I hope y'all find this helpful.
the problem i ran into was the drivers in the attached .zip file could not be installed on a Windows 8 machine. The error was a failure to install b/c of an error in reading the has of one of the catalog files. I found a site that gives you a solution to this error.. Here's a summary:
Go to cmd prompt and enter "| shutdown -o -r -t 0"
Wait for bit...
Click TROUBLESHOOT
Click ADVANCED OPTIONS
Click WINDOWS STARTUP SETTINGS
Click RESTART
The computer will restart and list of options will appear before logging in.
Select the Disable driver signature enforcement option. It was number 7 on the list i got.
To reenable the driver signature enforcement, just restart your computer normally.
Since this is my first post xda won't let me link the source site, so here it is below in case you would like to visit it. All credit goes to this guy.:good:

Can you developers help me please!!
I've been doing just fine with ADB, etc. I have been flashing for a long time and now all of a sudden ADB is not working. I've installed SDK twice, unistalled and installed drivers. Did everything. I get it that this just won't work on Windows 7 so I'm back on XP where I never had a problem and currently am. Yes, debugging is on on the phone too. I'm above the basics. When I plug in an LG it just says sooner ADB (something like that and I know your familiar). When I plug in a Samsung device manager says Samusng Android Composite ADB interface. And when I direct the driver install to winsub inf I always get "the specified location does not contain information about your device". Also ADB devices is not recognizing anything either. I event tried this with the Samsung in download mode.
Thanx
Good tutorial, it´s help me a lot. Thanks!!!

On Windows, typically C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
ADB use instructions clearly formatted for referenxce
Hi, this is a post I just hope will be helpful. When I started using ADB I would look at the internal Help and the formatting was so screwed up it was hard to understand. Fighting with this for the umpteenth time last night I got mad, pulled out a code editor (too bad it wasn't emacs because that's probably the way the file was made-- either that or it was created as a man page) and spent a half hour straightening things out. The help is so much more useful now I'm putting it here in the hope it may help you, too. Now let's see if I should have formatted this as Code rather than a Quote to keep lines from breaking, etc.

[GUIDE][HOWTO] How to push files using ADB Desire V

Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, it will also let member do things manually instead of relying on update ZIP's all the time. Besides of explaining how to use a simple program such a quick ADB Pusher, i will also explain in depth the commands of ADB through the actual command line interface, so here we go:
First of all we will start with The command line ADB, the quick adb pusher tutorial is further down the post.
Before we start explaining some of the code what is used in ADB, it is important you know what it is, it is called the Android-Debug-Bridge.
In order to even get ADB to wokr you need to follow these procedures:
Settings -> Developers options -> USB-de bugging
Then check that box, it will make you feel like a boss.
Now once you have done that your android device, is now setup for both development and ADB. Next you are going to plug your device into your computer, via a usb cable.
Once you have done that you need to go to the directory of your ADB interface, this is where you have the android SDK installed too, on a linux or mac based system this could be:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/android-sdk-mac/tools
Once you have the ADB interface loaded into your terminal, if you type help it will show something similar to this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator with
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
envivornment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>:<port> - connect to a device via TCP/IP
disconnect <host>:<port> - disconnect from a TCP/IP device
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively

adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] <file> - push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
DATAOPTS:
(no option) - don't touch the data partition
-w - wipe the data partition
-d - flash the data partition
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write

adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
Now that you have ADB running here are some simple commands on how to use it:
How identify that your device is being recognised by ADB:
Code:
adb devices
Once this has been typed it should show something like this:
Code:
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT26GW507639 device
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>
If there is a line what says "HT26GW507639" with "device" at the end your devices is successfully recognised by ADB!
How to pull data from your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceADBNUMBERHERE] pull /system /the directory you want it saved too
This command will pull all the files from your devices system directory, to the directory you told it to be saved too.
I did the pull command on a PC and I was able to get all the data from following directories on my Desire C:
/data
/system
How to push data to your device:
Code:
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push /system/app/whatever.apk
This command will push the files you wish to your phone, though this command.
The most basic ADB commands
ADB push, as explained before this command is used to send files to your device
Code:
adb push
ADB pull, as explained before it pulls files from your phone, and makes a copy of them.
Code:
adb pull
ADB Install and example of this code would be "adb install c:\users\app.apk"
Code:
adb install c:\users\app.apk
ADB Shell, this command begins a shell connection to the device on the other end.
Code:
adb shell
ADB reboot, it does what it says
Code:
adb reboot
ADB reboot recovery, this also does what it says
Code:
adb reboot recovery
ADB reboot bootloader, this also does what is says, like the ones above.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
ADB remount, this remounts the devices file system for editing etc...
Code:
adb remount
ADB Shell commands:
cd, this command changes directories in your devices filesystem.
Code:
cd /system/app
is, this command listes all of the file present in the directory you are at.
Code:
is /system/app
rm, this command removes file from your device.
rm /system/app/whatever.apk​cp, this command copies files, and is very similar to the cat command below.
Code:
cp /system/app/whatever.apk /sdcard/whatever.apk
cat, this command is also used to copy files to your device.
Code:
cat /system/app/whatever.apk > /sdcard/whatever.apk
exit, this command exits the ADB shell.
Code:
exit

As explained above, the quick ADB pusher is an interface over the code based ADB. I will be a much easier approach for new user of android to get to grips to, that is why I am including it.
Hello guys today I am going to show you how to use a program called quick adb pusher, it is a great starting point for new android users who want to copy modified system files, without flashing update Zip’s all the time, so here we go:
First of all you want to download the quick adb pusher program, this is in both this thread and the revolution Rom thread on XDA, the link for the program is listed below:
Quick ADB Pusher​
Now you want to make sure your phone is plugged into your computer, but do not put it into USB storage mode. Make sure your USB de-bugging option is enabled it is located at:
Settings --> Developer options --> USB De-bugging​
Now you will start the quick ADB pusher program, once it has started it should detect your phone. If it does not then post a comment in the thread below and we will resolve the issue.
Watch the video below to clarify a few things, such as how to copy system apps etc...
Again I hope this tutorial helps some people out, remember to read the FAQ first before posting,, to prevent the same questions being asked time and time again.

AW: [GUIDE][HOWTO] How to push files using ADB Desire V
Me too
Sent from my HTC Desire V using xda premium
I will when I have time guys, if you want more guides and stuff, surely you can smash the thanks button right in the face for me. To show your support, and that you appreciate my work.
Creating our own custom roms
Yup. It really would be a great tutorial for newbies to get started to make things, which once they could only appreciate. I am myself good at programming and algorithms, but Android development is quite alien to me. I consider myself a potential developer, if only would I get a kick start at ROM making. Also we could be able to support unknown or local market devices. I think that would be really beneficial for the entire Android community to see new budding developers with their innovations. :angel:
Hit thanks if you agree.

It told me my devices wasn't rooted?
When trying to push a file to my internal storage on my Moto X does the file need to be located in a specific location? I am trying to root my device and need to push a file to my device. I am very new to this, and have adb working and my device showing up when i run "adb devices". I have a folder on my desktop titled "android" which contains adb, fastboot, sdk, and eclipse. Do I need to save the files I want to push to the root of this folder on my desktop? Thanks for the help!

My tablet is stuck in the recovery mode on a permanent loop. Please help
I'm just learning to code and honestly as of 6 months ago I didn't even know how to turn a computer on although I practice and take classes I'm petrified I'm going to screw up my computer. Anyway, my tablet is stuck in the recovery mode on a permanent loop so I can't put it in debug development mode. Please help me fix it. I can't afford a new one and I use it for work when I'm at a job site. I downloaded the Android Suite bundle zip (the one that said recommended) also the sdk tools zip, the quick adb pusher and the lollipop image file, lollipop rom file. I've tried every one of the commands from your site and many many other sites and it's not fixing my tablet. I know you guys don't like stupid questions but I'm feeling like a moron because I can't figure it out. Could someone please please help me fix me tablet.

Besides of explaining how to use a simple program such a quick ADB Pusher, i will also explain in depth the commands of ADB through the actual command line interface, so here we go:
First of all we will start with The command line ADB, the quick adb pusher tutorial is further down the post.
Before we start explaining some of the code what is used in ADB, it is important you know what it is, it is called the Android-Debug-Bridge.
In order to even get ADB to wokr you need to follow these procedures:
Settings -> Developers options -> USB-de bugging
Then check that box, it will make you feel like a boss.
Now once you have done that your android device, is now setup for both development and ADB. Next you are going to plug your device into your computer, via a usb cable.
Once you have done that you need to go to the directory of your ADB interface, this is where you have the android SDK installed too, on a linux or mac based system this could be:
Code:
cd /home/yourusername/android-sdk-mac/tools
Once you have the ADB interface loaded into your terminal, if you type help it will show something similar to this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
-d - directs command to the only connected USB device
returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
-e - directs command to the only running emulator.
returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
-s <serial number> - directs command to the USB device or emulator with
the given serial number. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL
envivornment variable.
-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or
a relative/absolute path to a product
out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.
If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT
environment variable is used, which must
be an absolute path.
devices - list all connected devices
connect <host>:<port> - connect to a device via TCP/IP
disconnect <host>:<port> - disconnect from a TCP/IP device
device commands:
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> <local> - copy file/dir from device
adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed
(see 'adb help all')
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
adb emu <command> - run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections
forward specs are one of:
tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] <file> - push this package file to the device and install it
('-l' means forward-lock the app)
('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data)
adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device
('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport - return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help - show this help message
adb version - show version num
DATAOPTS:
(no option) - don't touch the data partition
-w - wipe the data partition
-d - flash the data partition
scripting:
adb wait-for-device - block until device is online
adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running
adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running
adb get-state - prints: offline | bootloader | device
adb get-serialno - prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window - continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
Now that you have ADB running here are some simple commands on how to use it:
How identify that your device is being recognised by ADB:
Code:
adb devices
Once this has been typed it should show something like this:
Code:
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

HT26GW507639 device
C:\Users\Daniel\Android development\ADB, Fastboot\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-
bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>
If there is a line what says "HT26GW507639" with "device" at the end your devices is successfully recognised by ADB!

Does your device show up in Windows explorer or in device manager?

It could be that the drivers are not installed correctly, but at this point, I am just guessing. Sorry.

they dont show on windows explorer but in device manager i got:
kindle fire> Android Composite ADB Intercafe
Portable Devices> MTP USB Device
Okay, I do not think you have the driver loaded correctly. It is a long shot, but you could try uninstalling both devices (unplug your kindle first), then rebooting your computer and plugging your kindle back in. Hopefully, the drivers load okay. Then try adb again.

the MTP USB Device got a little yellow triangle and on properties got this message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The process hosting the driver for this device has terminated."
Again, you have to remove it. Unhook your device, and uninstall them. Then, reboot and try to let it install.

i did what told to do unhook it, unistalled and reinstalled then i got this when i push
"C:\android-sdk>adb push Copy /sdcard/
failed to copy 'Copy' to '/sdcard//Copy': Permission denied"
What about dab devices? Also, I think when you push a file, you need to make sure that the file is in the dab folder and the file type has to be valid. E.X.
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
Or, you could also try adb ls/
