It might seem a bit stupid, but maybe others will encounter one of this issues and it will help them. your more than welcome at add to this.
P: computer wont recognize device in debug mode. instead it recognizes "android 1.0" or something else.
S: download HTC sync. it contains the proper drivers.
P: while activating the *.bat file you get the erroe "adb out of date...killing". the script will run all the way, but root access wont be given.
s: you need to close all adb processes from task manager, and the htcsync process as well (on PC)! also, you need to reflash the img file, and try rooting again.
HTC SYNC
after 10 attempts at ROOT, I found this tread. It is CRITICAL that you stop the HTCSync process on you PC or root will not work!
HTC Sync on the tab or on the pc? I killed it on the tab through the running applications. To kill adb processes just close the command window on the pc.
you need to kill it on the PC.
Ok so noob question of the day!
Where are you supposed to input the commands (such as adb reboot bootloader) to start the kernel flash process? I tried in cmd as well as terminal emulator on the tablet with no luck, what am I missing here?

you should have ADB in your c:\android folder, or wherever your sdk is installed.
Do a search for adb with your pc to find out where you installed it.
then using the command prompt under start> programs> accessories> command prompt, go to the corrected directory that ADB is in.
to go to C:\android, for example, type " cd c:\android "
Then you would execute the adb commands, (example: adb reboot bootloader)
Go to youtube and search for a 'how to use ADB' tutorial.
I'm having difficulty hotbooting the insecure kernel.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync on my PC, and I've downloaded the insecure kernel to my SD card's root directory.
I have no problem rebooting the bootloader via adb, and my device is detected. However, when I try to hotboot the kernel, I routinely get a "cannot load" response. I'm typing in "fastboot boot [filename].img."
Suggestions?
Many thanks.
the insecure kernel shouldn't go to the SD card. only the wifi module should.
the *.img file should go to the adb\tools directory,
(maybe you can put it anywhere else and just write the full path while flashing, i'm not sure. i just copy this files to the tools directory and flash them from there. easiest way)
the flash command flashes the file from the directory on the computer to the device.
Thanks very much!
I'm sitting here laughing to myself because I'd tried changing the path in the command to a couple of places I'd placed the insecure kernel in my PC; the c: root directory and a directory I'd created to house downloaded Jetstream files. Obviously, neither worked.
Placing it in the adb\tools directory makes complete sense.
By the way, your mention of the "wifi module" sent me back to DooMLoRD's kernel thread. I see that you flashed the kernel and related wifi module on 1/4. Like others who posted, are you pleased with the kernel?
Thanks, again!
The kernel seems very nice and almost no one complaind.

Hi guys,
EDIT: See the last posts - I have figured this out, and tried to include helpful information, if you are having this problem too.
Firstly please accept my apologies if this has been answered already. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, and cant find specific instructions, or a guide that I can follow with any success.
I stupidly deleted system files from my Kindle, but now I have purchased a fastboot cable, and I'am able to get it into fastboot mode.
I have correctly installed the ADB Drivers, and the device is now recognized by my Windows 7 Device Manager. It shows 'Android ADB Interface'.
I would guess that I need to flash the entire Kindle, but I'm unsure of how to do this, as I cannot seem to access the device at all. It currently loops when booting, giving me no time to see it as external storage via My Computer.
Please would someone more versed in this, guide me specifically through how to get myself back up and running again? I would be forever greatful.
I have SDK and JDK installed, but do not have the knowledge I need to learn how to use them properly.
Thanks so much in advance.

what is the fastboot cable? where can I get it? can a normal usb cable do the job?

You definitely need the fastboot cable to push files through the ADB Interface dude. You can buy one for dirt cheap on EBay. Then all you do is simply plug it into your PC and Kindle, and it should put the Kindle straight into Fastboot mode.
Then you need to install the ADB Drivers for the Kindle.
From there, I'm stuck I'm afraid.

OK，I think I'm gonna get one and give it a try. the only way to fix this brick is in the ADB Interface I'm sure. though I also don't know How to do.
I've finally figured out how to get ADB up and running, and how to start command prompt. I found this link helpful:
developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
If anyone needs help pushing files through ADB, I recommend that link!
Do the following to detect your Kindle Fire tablet through ADB:
Open a command prompt window.
Change directory to your Android SDK platform-tools directory. - To do this, find out where SDK is installed on your PC. Copy the path.
Type cd in command prompt, then space, then paste the directory path. EG, C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools
Hit enter, and the command line will change to read C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools.
Run the following commands and confirm that the serial number for your Kindle Fire tablet appears in the list of devices.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Then follow the rest of the guide. I think all you need to to do, is push a system update through, by putting the file in the tools folder of SDK. This should make the device update, and put back any critical system files that you had previously deleted.
Now I'm just having issues with it finding the device, so I'm going to charge the Kindle for a few hours, and then try it again.

In command prompt, there is an ADB push command, so I think all you do is type that, then the path of the file.
To list all the commands you can use, change command prompt to your platform-tools folder within SDK, type ADB in command prompt, and it will give you all the options.
You'll need to unzip the update file first I think.

Working with the HDX 8.9.
I think I have deleted some of the system files also. I was reloading a safestrap backup and rebooted but the backup had failed to complete. I don't know what may be missing from the system files and would like to push the system files onto the device.
Right now I get a gray kindlefire screen for about 90 seconds, during which I have adb access, then it goes to the color kindlefire screen and asks if I want to Restore to Factory Defaults or reboot. I finally subjected it to the Restore to Factory Defaults, but that just wiped the cache and data partitions, I don't see where it did anything to the system files. It did not change my adb access.
In adb I can push files to some locations but others say: failed to copy ....: Read-only file system.
I cannot run shell commands
# adb shell
soinfo_link_image(linker.cpp:1617): could not load library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" needed by "/system/bin/sh"; caused by load_library(linker.cpp:745): library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" not foundCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I was working in Windows 8.1 but have switched to Suse Linux but the results are the same so far.
I have the stock system files but I am not sure how to push them to the device, if it can be done, while the device is trying to reboot.
fastboot
I can put the HDX in Fastboot mode with the adb command. But when I try to pass commands to the HDX I get:
< waiting for device >
and I have to Ctrl-c to stop the process.
Do the fastboot commands only work if you have a fastboot cable???

Umm the recovery saved you from bricking your tablet, had the recovery installed that mod, most likely you would be calling Dell to find out how to return the tablet, and get a quote on repair cost, as your warranty is void.

?????????????? " Fastboot erase system "
This command isn't part of rooting, this command removes your OS, you can't boot cause you have nothing to boot, no way you got that command from my root instructions.
My root instructions are two lines.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
sudo ./start_recovery
You are going to have to install a OS, 3 to choose from, I would go with 4.4.2

Vamp, a few questions for you.
Can this be done without any of sdc's binary files? Can this be done with just script files or command line?
Can we root, and or use your recovery without closed source files?
@social-design-concepts hasn't released his source yet, and he has implied it can't be done without his binary files. I don't know just asking.
When sdc releases his source will we be able to make scripts, and not use binary files? script files or command line, shows users exactly what is happening closed binaries files don't.

Sorry i'm taking so long, took some personal time for the holidays it can be done via script well t1 and t3 but then you run into the issue of being dependent on shared libraries in the droidboot.img which was what prevented restoring the system partition you would still be dependent on setpropex for changing read only props I tried to spell out everything in the splash but well see if I get around to adding the check that the adbd deamon has started and if not execute the binary direct tonight so I can post the source

@social-design-concepts has already answered your question, I will expand some what, Yes one can root via command line or via script I do it myself. You need to stop droidboot then start adbd, setup recovery, the recovery is set to be pushed or just use busybox to untar, temp mount /data to get adb key permission or adb wont connect. I have a special adbd which is 100% root all the time, so need to patch or change files to get root out of adbd, I also use the same adbd on my iview i700, to give me adb remount, I have a script to replace the stock adbd on each reboot, so I have adb root or adb remount anytime I want.
This adbd is private though, at the moment not share able.
But to answer your questions yes it can be done.
Here are my scripts, nothing fancy but they work.
adb reboot bootloader
setup_adb
Code:
#!/bin/bash
fastboot flash /sbin/adbd-recovery ./adbd-recovery
fastboot flash /sbin/partlink ./partlink

Beautiful work man, no more closed binary files.
As always very impressive.
Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100) with Cyanogenmod 11 (Snapshot M12) installed. Recently I dropped my phone and the screen was completely shattered. The display does not work, neither does the touch. However, the phone works fine as I can turn it on and connect it via USB to my computer and access the data on my internal memory. Although USB debugging is enabled on my phone, I am unable to do anything because the computer isn't authorised i.e. I cannot press "OK" on the authentication prompt that I would have otherwise normally seen on the screen (screenshot attached). Is there any way to bypass this prompt or a workaround for it? I basically need to get a Nandroid backup of my phone and then factory reset it.
P.S.: I tried to access my phone via a program called "Android Control" but apparently it is practically useless without the debugging privileges.
Thanks.
Solved!
This guide assumes that USB debugging was enabled on your device before you broke it. You can enable USB debugging via recovery using:
Code:
adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot
After digging through various threads I finally managed to bypass the secure USB prompt on my Galaxy SII with a shattered screen.
For this method to work you need another device running Android 4.4.2 or above with USB debugging enabled and the same computer authorised from that device i.e. connect that device to your computer and press "OK" on the authorisation prompt that appears on screen for secure USB debugging. Let us call this device the "authorised device".
"adb_keys" is the file we need from the authorised device which is located in /data/misc/adb/
Normally you must be rooted to take the adb_keys file from the device using "Root explorer" or "ES File Explorer" but I will assume that the authorised device is unrooted. You don't need to root it. However, if your authorised device is rooted then simply copy the adb_keys file on your computer and jump directly to Step 5.
Steps:
Connect the authorised device to your computer using USB (debugging enabled) and open a command prompt with administrator privileges.
To get the "adb_keys" file, use this command:
adb pull /data/misc/adb/adb_keys <destination path>/adb_keys
For example:
adb pull /data/misc/adb/adb_keys c:/adb_keys
The above command will save the adb_keys file to the root of your C: drive. You can change the destination folder to your liking. Now the job of the authorised device is done. You can disconnect it and disable USB debugging.
Once you get a copy of adb_keys, reboot the phone with the broken screen into recovery.
Now connect the broken phone to the computer using USB.
We need to copy the adb_keys file to the broken device. Use the command below:
adb push <file location> /data/misc/adb
For example:
adb push c:/adb_keys /data/misc/adb
After the file is copied, reboot your device using "adb reboot" and voila! You can now use adb shell.
Special thanks to torankusu for this post which helped me compile this guide.
Check out this thread by k.janku1 if you want to have full control over your device even with a broken screen (requires Java Runtime Environment and Visual C++ redistributable). This tool lets you use your device through your Windows PC even if your touchscreen doesn't work or you can't see anything.
P.S.: My broken device was a Samsung Galaxy SII running Cyanogenmod 11 (M12) and my authorised device was an unrooted Moto G running stock ROM.
Thanks man.
I'm (noob) trying to follow the guide which exactly fits my situation.
Status : Broken SGS7 screen with USB debugging enabled but cannot accept the computer
SGS4 backup phone where i extracted the adb_key
both are not rooted and running stock OS
Unfortunately i get stuck between step 6/7... When i reboot to recovery mode the windows does not recognize neither of the phones when conneted to USB. Therefore i cannot run the ADB command and copy the key on my broken phone (SGS7).
i can choose the "aply update From ADB" and then the computer recognizes the phone and i can find it in ADB devices "sideload" but here i cannot use the command "adb push....."
Ii've tried updating drivers googled alot, but without luck...
what am i missing?
input very appreciated
I too am a noob who was trying to follow this guide, which also exactly fit my situation. My status was a broken Sony Xperia screen with USB debugging enabled, but I was unable to click on the "accept" button whenever I hooked my phone up to my PC. I extracted a working adb_key from my new Asus ZooXS phone; neither phone is rooted, and both are running stock Android OS.
Unfortunately, I got stuck right between Steps 7 & 8; Windows did not allow me to use the ADB Push command to copy the key onto my broken Sony Xperia. I could Pull the key from my Asus using ADB just fine, but not the other way around.
I did eventually find an alternative solution: I used an OTG device & hooked up a mouse to my Sony Xperia so that I could get past the broken screen issues & navigate to Settings > Bluetooth. I then borrowed a Bluetooth Mouse & "discovered" it with my broken Sony Xperia. I could then unplug the OTG device & re-connect my phone to my PC via USB, & then click on the screen using the Bluetooth Mouse to "accept" my computer as always being authorized to perform USB debugging. Afterwards, I was able to use Helium backup to pull off most of my important data from my phone.
Hope this helps others who are running into the same problem....
i don't get it - authorizing adb via adb
The steps maq_ posted helped me rescue my data from my broken OP3. Combined with the information from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...b-rsa-key-with-broken-touch-screen-on-android which indicates the files between the computer (running adb) and the key file you copy to /data/misc/adb should "match" with each other. Indeed, you might need to have been bootloader unlocked (with a custom recovery) to use adb push to copy the adb_keys file to your broken phone. For me, since my broken phone was rooted I used a terminal emulator with the 'su' command (after successfully getting the file onto my broken phone) to copy the file over to /data/misc/adb.
Some tips that might help newbs before following maq_'s steps: First, re-install another copy of adb (remember the path you installed to on your PC). Second, erase contents of c:\Users\$name\.android\ (which contains existing keys generated by adb). Third, run adb kill-server to make sure other instances of adb don't confuse things.

Thanks for clarifying TWRP and UNLOCKED bootloader is required.
TWRP is not available for some devices. Luckily i found a ported recovery.img for my broken tablet. Unfortunately adb shows device as offline in TWRP, adb does not work in recovery.
I finally managed installing adbkey.pub via script. does not work on dm-verity, KNOX enabled or locked devices!
1. install ODIN (Samsung) or SPFLASH tool (MTK)
2. get the firmware for your device (fw.updato.com)
3. unpack system.img
4. add your own shell script (backdoor) to /system/etc/init.d, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh or whatever
5. repack your custom system.img
6. flash system.img
7. copy RSA Key to /sdcard via MTP
My (backdoor) shell script was a watchdog looking for another shell script on /sdcard. The second shell script was copying adbkey.pub from /sdcard to /data partition. This worked without root because init scripts run with root permissions on boot.
With this method i was able to backup userdata from my broken tablet via adb. TWRP has adb backup option too, in case touch screen is broken.
I will explain in detail on request.
edit: for experts only: instead of flashing whole system.img, you can do slight modification using Tarek Galal inception Utility via ODIN, for example "Place your adb keys, configure USB debugging"
edit2: most recent version of that backdoor script can be found here

my touch is broken and i cant select usb authorization as ok... device is not rooted...
device name is sony z3...
i have another device with 4.4 and with that device i made a backup of drm keys... now what should i do?
sorry if english is bad... helpwill be really appriciated....
hello, i have te same problem with my huawei p smart. does this work for huawei to?
no, but you can connect OTG keyboard and unlock screen. that should unlock MTP you can at least transfer pictures. even Monitor via MHL/HDMI is possible for some devices

ThanK You Senior for posting the solution.
Can you please help me in this.
I am using mediatek device
Didn't find /system/etc/init.d
Didn't find /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
But found "" install-recovery.sh "" inside /system/bin folder
Now do i have to only paste the your given rsa_copy.sh scrip in this file?
and paste the pub_keys from authorize device to /sdcard/
That method will most likely fail because dm-verity deny booting if any modifications detected. You can however patch boot.img with Magisk (to disable dm-verity). What android version/mediatek device you have?
Yes you can replace install-recovery.sh or add line
Code:
/system/bin/sh /path/to/rsa_copy
/system/bin/sh /path/to/99userinit_daemon
But I do not recommend this method any longer, modifications in /system should be avoided. Instead you could simply disable RSA authorization and enable usb-debugging in default.prop
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867446
I recommend AIK it is capable of re-signing AVBv1-signed boot.img
I have android 7
mt6753
init.d is n't here
placing code inside install-recovery.sh didn't work because it runs with root privileges
now i am trying to cp /system/adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
and tring to modify boot.img

Senior Help. (I am extra noob)
I also noticed data folder inside boot.img can I directly put " adb" folder here?
no. data directory is just mount point. no longer required to place adb_keys, just edit default.prop with Notepad++

I attempted this trick with working phone's boot.img (working img) but even after repacking boot.img without edits phone stuck/hangs on boot (without animation)
Recommend me a good tool for unpacking and repacking boot.img with guide.
(I already tried with android kitchen on Linux (This one's boot.img make phone report after boot animation) and unpack/repack Tool on windows ( http://www.mediafire.com/file/nvo2popw26k4mit/IMG_Extractor_2.0.rar/file) and this one's boot.img doesn't boot phone to boot animation and hangs on initial logo)
I tried this on other working phone
@osm0sis may have a look into boot.img can you upload please?

I'm really enjoying remix OS, So much so, I seldom use my windows partition at all any more except for one thing. Bootloader updates and firmware installations on my various android devices. (Most Nexus Player android TV boxes)
Remix shipped with adb support and I have been using it to push bulk installs onto my own and customer devices, I would like to perform the firmware updates as well and found remix does not ship with fastboot installed in system/bin. There is a fastboot file but it is for the Intel 915 graphics support libs.
Is there a way I can add it? been looking at a few pre compiled bin packages for linux but can't seem to get any of them to work correctly. can't seem to get the fastboot.bin to be executable.. even with root.
Any help would be appreciated. Asked the remix folks as I am on the beta program but have not gotten an answer.
Thanks!

Try the one here: it's seems to show the help page fine. Haven't checked any of the command though;
alternatively you could compile a version from source
Thanks for the lead
Looking around thru XDA , I found a few fastboot packages that should have worked. My device filesystem is RW and root is obviously present. I copy the file and chmod it as executable but still get access denied trying to execute it as root, Most the versions I found expect you to adb copy it into the device, With remix OS, I'm not sure how to to do that since there is no OTG port. If the filesystem is RW, Should I need to use adb to copy the file in? Looking at compiling a copy since the remix install I'm using is x64 on intel and maybe the fastboot executable needs to be for this specific target?

Definately at least executes for me; will check tomorrow if it can detect a fastboot device. One from @osm0sis : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 also seems to run fine and I think its a different one; some of the others posted are a copy of that first one I posted without giving credit.
Looks like you did point me to the right one.
Since remix OS on a laptop doesn't support an OTG adb transfer... I manually copied adb, adb.bin and fast boot to the system/xbin directory as root.
Then used
chown 0:0 on all 3 files, As found in the included install script (adb shell script)
then chmod +755 (all 3 files) also tried chmod +777
No errors or complaints from the command line..
attempt to execute as user or root, Get permission denied..
"ls" the file shows -rwxrwxrwx root root ?
When I compare against other files in xbin, they all have lrwxrwxrwx. I'm assuming the "l" is a symbolic link pointing to the busybox install.
Am I missing something? that is preventing fastboot from being executable? I don't claim to be a linux expert in any way...

adb is already installed (/system/bin/adb); other than that I have it as 777 root:root as well, any chance you have forgotten to execute fastboot as root [su]?
Screenshot attached; and just checked if device detected in fastboot and it is.
NB with adb you might have to use adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF reboot bootloader for example as theres an emulator device running on RemixOS.
