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.

Thats overcomplicating things.
Cd \streakrepair
Will do the same job.
Swyped using XDA App
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?

i know i can adb pull but what would be the command to actually browse the system...
Use the command "adb shell" and browse as you would on your OS through the command prompt.
ex: for PCs for listing use the command "dir" and "cd" to navigate through folders
ex: for Macs you would have to use "ls"

ok, so i'm attempting to post an adb logcat output at another forum regarding an app. at the cmd prompt (of course directed to the proper tools folder) i use the following
adb logcat -f /sdcard/output.txt
hit return and i get a blinking cursor. nothing else appears to happen. am i mssing something? is there another way to create and view/save the logcat output?
thanks
mark
wouldn't it be:
Code:
adb shell
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

download terminal emulator in android market
Install it: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Run it.
Optional: learn shell commands if you don't know.
If you are using CM, I'd make sure I run bash rather than the default shell, and customise it via sourcing my customisation scripts from /ext/bash/bashrc
Example shell command?

looking at this comment of yours i would recommend you to not install emulator right now... get some knowledge about commands and then use as you can do anything to your phone using shell commands
Code:
echo "Hello World, we should read a tutorial on the command line"
... link to learn terminal emulator for android?

Install Linux on you desktop and learn to use it. Terminal in Android is exactly the same that in Linux.

Mind telling its a clone xD
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/
http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
Note if you are a windows users, install cygwin or ubuntu via wubi and play there. I also suggest to try and install adb, the adb shell is much nicer way to use the shell on your phone than terminal emulator, it uses your computer keyboard / clipboard to control shell very nicely!

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.
Ok, here is my Debian Squeeze bootstrap for armel architecture and is tested on my Xperia Go. Port contain a lot of installed things like compilers, libraries, programers languages, desktop enviroment, tight vnc server, openssh server... so everything that can be used like in desktop computer...
Warning:
Only stock rom files is safe and nothing "custom" is safe! You doing everything on your own risk! So you can play with Debian on your own risk!
How to install:
first, you need to have rooted phone! You need "su" installed! Busybox is needed too! Terminal emulator too!
extract Xperia_Debian.rar to your external sd card. You need min 4gb free disk space on your external sd card!
using adb tool perform next steps:
adb remount
adb push bootdeb /system/bin/bootdeb
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/bootdeb
How to boot debian:
open terminal emulator and type "su" and press enter. You must see "#"
type "bootdeb" and press enter
You can see log on terminal emulator and if all is ok you are now in Debian
Optional things:
You can start ssh server by command "/etc/init.d/ssh start" and you can install WinSCP + Putty on your computer to get remote acces to your Debian like: WinSCP for remotelly browsing/uploading/deleting...etc and Putty for remote secure shell (ssh) access.
Username for ssh access is: user: root, password: password. You can change password by command "passwd your_password_here"
You can install vnc client on your computer for remote desktop connection to Debian (just you need to start vncserver on Debian with proper screen size geometry for example "vncserver -geometry 1024x768")
You can install vnc on your android (android vnc viever) to get remote desktop connection from your android.
You can install Debian to for example usb stick, but you need to modify (path to external usb disk) bootdeb script!
Warning:
When you start terminal emulator and you start Debian than do not close terminal emulator!!! If you close terminal emulator than Debian partition is not unmounted so there is posibility for Debian image coruption + coruption on userdata partition! So allways before closing terminal emulator (after starting Debian) you must type "exit" so Debian partition will be safely unmounted and Debian stopped!
do not perform long operations like git clone big pproject...etc because ram memory is not enought and sometimes Debian freze... I created 300mb swap but still swap is allways free so I think maybe kernel have no enabled swap support? I can see zram support in ICS kernel but its about ~50mb so maybe someone can/need to increase zram size to get our Debian stable!

Debian ? sounds cool ? is it possible ?
It's already existing. Look for "Linux Installer" on the market. It's running from an image via loopback device and VNC. So you don't even need to flash anything, works on standard Image.
I had Debian (I think it was LXDE DE) running. Ubuntu also available.
Pretty nice to show to someone, but I would not work with it. I deleted the image cause it wasted several GB on flash memory.
Interested.

Ok I will share it and it will be in zip (installable trought recovery) ! Will try to include everything like VNC viewer...etc
I am interested.

I had old Debian Leny bootstraped, it was for HTC HD Mini, I got it runing on Xperia but it not worked good, so yesterday I created new debian.ext2 image (4gb), its bassed on latest stable Debian Squeeze, it contain installed: full desktop enviroment, a lot of compilers and libraries...etc. I tried to make an zip installer but zip could not accept larger files so it will be rar archive: debian.ext2 + bootscript, you need to install all that manually! Allso you need 4gb free space on your external sd card or maybe it will be runing from external usb disk (you need to modify bootdeb script)? Today I going to start uploading ...see first post!

Enjoy!
