To the OP, I don't know if this is the case for you but I changed my path on my Windows PC like the guides said to and that didnt completely work. (Maybe neede a restart). But in any case if you go to the command prompt, change directories to were you have adb and run your commands from there, it works like a charm.
For example if you unzip the the SDK in your download directory, open up the command line and type:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Downloads\<whatever-you-named-the-unzipped-folder>\tools
ADB is in the tools directory you just went to. From here you can run the adb command without having to set up the system paths. This is a quick and dirty explanantion and might not even work for you. I was running this on Windows XP when I had this problem. Same thing had to be done on my Ubuntu Linux box b/c I'm to lazy to set up paths on that one, lol.

Oops, didnt see that you allready posted this. Yea do what zephiK says and it should work.
i have not been able to get adb to work no matter what i did (i am using xp) and i have been trying since i had the htc magic last year. here is how i recently got it working.
i downloaded the one-click root zip file and unzipped it. inside there is a adb.exe file. i clicked it and then then made sure my phone was in debugging mode and connected to my pc and used the command prompt to point to where adb is in my android sdk which for me is cd\androidsdk\tools
adb devices
i hit enter after tools and enter after devices and now it works. not sure why but it does. i couldnt get my magic, my nexus one or even the galaxy to work until i did this.
i got everything done. i think? only problem is im getting $ sign instead of # sign. any ideas?
i got adb working. thanks everyone.
A thread success story without any casualties. Almost makes me weep.
I need help rooting my Tb , does anyone have a video or direct me to one that can help! I don't know how to use ADB!
I would take the time to learn ADB or wait until a one click is out. Learning ADB while rooting your phone could easily break it.
what os are you using?

Honestly just take the time to read the procedure, other help topics on these forums, and take your time when actually going through the procedure.
I had never used ADB either or rooted an android phone for that matter, and I gotta say, rooting the TBolt was cake.
I just took my time with it ensuring I typed in the commands properly.
But if you need a video, here you go: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/22/video-rooting-the-htc-thunderbolt/
what drivers do we need for the process, are they only the htc sync drivers? where can these be found?
Android SDK should be extracted/installed straight onto the C:\ directory to make it easy. Open the android-sdk folder and in it is a program sdkmanager.exe, open that and you can reject all of the downloads but scroll down and install one called the "google usb driver package" which may be necessary, I'm not sure (you should also have the htc sync drivers installed)
The contents from the "exploit.zip" should be extracted into the folder "platform-tools" within the android-sdk folder. Plug in your phone to the usb and open the command prompt. To get started open the command prompt (like a dos prompt) and get the prompt into the folder 'platform-tools' and type "adb devices" then hit enter. If your phone is connected and you have "usb debugging" enabled on your phone from the settings, your phone should appear and you can begin the instructions from jcase
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.

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???

--Edit--
This is finally solved. There was a problem with my computer's ADB RSA key, so I simply had to delete the key file and rerun ADB and I Received the RSA Key Fingerprint window instantly on my G3.
For the full description of the problem look here:
I'm having issues trying to root my phone. I'm using the ioroot method mentioned here.
I get to "* daemon started successfully *" then nothing. After a lot of troubleshooting I know it's because my phone won't allow access by my computer. I never receive the RSA Fingerprint window allowing my computer access to my phone. Here's what all I've tried:
-Put phone into Internet>Ethernet mode (and I've also tried Internet>Modem, MTP and Camera modes as well just to say I did).
-Enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
-Installed the drivers linked in the ioroot page (I've also downloaded the drivers directly from LG - believe it or not ... it's the same file).
-Installed the Verizon Software Assistant from the phone after connecting to the computer.
-Updated my ADB version with the SDK Manager.
-Used different USB ports on my computer as well as two different USB cables (one of which came with the G3).
-Checked Device Manager, all is as it should be and no unrecognized devices.
When I ran the adb server without the ioroot batch file, typing "adb devices" would return my phone's serial followed by "offline." It did this until I updated ADB; then when typing "adb devices" it would return the serial followed by "unauthorized." I've tried all various methods and combinations of switching adb debugging on and off, switching developer options on and off, installing and uninstalling and reinstalling the LG drivers, unplugging and replugging the USB cable, power-cycling all devices including myself at night, doing these methods with long pauses in between (10 minutes to ensure I wasn't being impatient), scratching my head, drinking more coffee, switching to rum and swearing at all devices but nothing seems to make a difference.
What am I missing?
I've got the Verizon LG G3 in White (LG-VS985W)
Software version VS98510B
Windows laptop running Vista 32 bit (I know I know, "eeew Vista")
I was able to obtain root using a different computer, here's what I tried with my laptop after gaining root to get it and my G3 on speaking terms:
-Deleted the ADB_Keys file on the G3 (/data/misc/adb/adb_key): no change.
-Compared running Windows services between Vista and 8.1 and started services which were running on 8.1 but not vista: no change.
Here was the resolution:
There turned out to be a problem with my laptop's ADB RSA key. I'm assuming my G3 was rejecting a bad key and disallowing my laptop to connect to it via ADB.
ADB saves a key file in one of multiple places on a Windows computer, the first is in the location where adb.exe is (C:\android), the second is in the user's profile (C:\Users\*username*\.android), the third place is in the Windows system files (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.android), the file is simply named "adbkey" with no extension. If there is no key file when ADB runs, it will generate one automatically.
Mine was located in my user folder (C:\Users\*username*\.android\). All I had to do was delete the adbkey file (there was also a file named "adbkey.pub" which I deleted as well), restart the adb server in command prompt (adb start-server) and plug my phone in. I instantly received the RSA Fingerprint Key window on my G3 allowing connection between the two devices. Then typing "adb devices" returned my phone's serial number followed by "device" showing it was available. I went back to the C:\Users\*username*\.android\ folder and sure enought there were new "adbkey" and "adbkey.pub" files.
Problem finally fixed!
Here are some VERY useful links which helped me come to this fix:
How ADB enables a secure connection
Reconstructing ADB's RSA key file
Try using this set of Vertizon g3 drivers: https://mega.co.nz/#!58YHAZaQ!yNlgZG1m7toHBZp_0HF1jSQ66gMoZmmiDrNq9W5aJIc
Open the .zip, run the .msi file on Windows.
I do not run the G3's auto-install software when I plug it into the PC.
I do set the G3 to "PTP" USB before initially connecting to the PC.
The adb file in the ioroot "bts" subfolder should be okay to run on Windows.
When the phone is attached to the PC, change its USB connection type to Internet, with submenu type Ethernet. At least on my phone, right when I change the phone connection to Internet/Ethernet is when I get the phone popup to accept the PC's RSA fingerprint.
If I then run "adb devices" on my PC, I'll see the random ID followed by "attached", which means I have a good connection. If this doesn't happen, unplug, then replug, the USB connection at the PC side.
Then I can "cd .." and run ioroot.bat.
Good luck!

... no dice.
Ok, I'm switching to my Windows 8.1 machine (my laptop is my server and android-dirty-work machine).
So it worked without hesitation on my 8.1 machine. I used the drivers listed in the ioroot thread (same as the drivers from LG) and the process went off without a hitch. I have no idea why my Vista machine and G3 don't get along but I'll need to figure it out when I do further adb work because I use my laptop for that.
Thank you markfm for the extra drivers.
I'll call this solved for now but if I find out further reasons why it didn't work I'll post it here for others who have similar struggles.
Ok I finally solved this. It turned out there was something wrong with my laptop's ADB RSA key. All I had to do was delete the key file, run the ADB Server and connect the phone. ADB will automatically generate an RSA key if none exists. The RSA key was located in C:\Users\*username*\.android and was simply named "adbkey" with no extension. There was also a file named adbkey.pub (Microsoft Publisher) which I'm assuming is a viewable version of the key. I deleted both of these, re-ran the ADB server and voila I instantly received the RSA Key Fingerprint confirmation window on my G3.
Done and done!
unable to generate RSA key on my MCB
I've read and re-read all the entries addressing this issue. I have a black G3 and am using a 2013 Mac Book Pro. I've followed the instructions to the letter many times but with no success. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to bear with me because I'm not familiar with Mac file structure.
I would start from scratch. Do all these before trying to run adb again.
On your computer:
-Delete adbkey & adbkey.pub from the .android folder (I'm not sure where that is on a Mac, Home\.android?).
-I'm not sure if Macs have a device manager, but check that your phone is correctly recognized and the drivers are installed properly.
On your phone:
-Ensure you've got developer features unlocked
-Double check that you've got usb debugging enabled.
-Tap the "Revoke USB Debugging Authorizations" button below USB debugging in developer options.
-When you're plugged in be sure to set your connection to Internet >>Ethernet (you'll see the debugging icon in the notification bar if it's connected right).
I know a lot of that is basic and redundant but if it's all done correctly then it should work. If it doesn't work it gives us a good starting point to troubleshoot.
If you want to test it open terminal, change directory to the bts folder in the ioroot folder and start adb (adb start-server), with everything done right you should get the rsa window on your phone right now. Type "adb devices" and see what comes back.
Thanks for the assistance. I never could get anywhere with my MBP so I used Windows. I downloaded the drivers and got the RSA key after revoking all prior authorizations. However, but my computer still won't see my G3 in internet/usb debugging mode. It reads it in MTP, PTP and USB charge mode. But that's it. I've rooted numerous phones before, mostly Samsung, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?

Use whatever mode will enable USB Debugging. If Internet>>Ethernet doesn't work then use any other mode that will. It's not necessarily important what mode your phone is in, but what mode will allow USB Debugging. If you have it in MTP, PTP, Camera or any other, and you have the USB Debugging icon in the notification bar, try the "adb devices" command and if it returns "*serial* device" then you should be good to go to root.
Once your phone has enabled USB Debugging and accepted the RSA key from your computer then the connection is made and your phone will accept the ioroot commands.

Is your phone a Verizon Model (VS985)? I'm assuming not because I don't have PTP mode on my G3. If it's not Verizon, the ioroot method suggests using PTP mode.
Yes it is a Verizon VS985. I bought it last week. I have four options, charge, MTP, internet and PTP when I connect my phone to the PC. I get usb debugging under either ethernet or modem. Device Manegr sees my phone and I get the RSA key. I never get a terminal which let's me know something isn't right. This is truly weird but I won't give up. I'll start over and see what happens. Again, thanks for your patience.

No problem at all, happy to help! It sounds like you have everything set up properly, however the terminal doesn't open automatically (you need to do it manually). But you shouldn't need to open the terminal to get ioroot to work, after you've unzipped the ioroot.zip file, simply navigate to the ioroot folder, right-click on ioroot.bat and choose Run as Administrator. That should run through the entire process for you.
If you want to test your adb connection (testing not required for ioroot to work) you'll need to open the command prompt manually. Press Windows Key+R, in the run window, type cmd and press enter, this will open the command prompt. When you're in the command prompt, you'll need to change directory to the location of adb.exe in the bts folder inside the ioroot folder. Mine was in a folder named android on my C drive so the address looked something like this: C:\android\ioroot\bts the command you'll type in command prompt would be: cd C:\android\ioroot\bts then press enter. Then you can type adb devices and see if you're connected properly.
Okay. Here's where we are. I did everything you suggested. I got the RSA key and the G3 went into recovery mode. I toggeld down to the appropriate command and hit the power button. The little green guy fell over with the dreaded red triange and I got the message "This version of ioroot does not support your device/firmware combo. Please downgrade to previously supported software version. My G3 is running VS98510B. I can't post in the devlopment section but wonder if a software update prevents root the the version being used. Just a question but at least I know I'm not going crazy.

Hi, hope this thread is somewhat still alive. sorry for the late add on... please help.
Sorry I'm a complete moron when it comes to rooting and ADB / RSA stuff and have no idea what exactly i am doing but for some reason my macbook won't allow me to authorize my oneplus. the authorize computer dialog box never pops up however i get a notification when my phone is plugged in that debugging is active. developer options have been reset, multiple usb cables have been used, and authorization has been revoked multiple times as well.
Im not sure how to access my adb settings on mac and when i attempt to go into terminal and try kill-server / start-server commands i get error messages as commands are not recognized.
Any help is appreciated as i can no longer use stock rom on OPO and i can't go about rooting my device

It is also possible to overcome the situation, by installing Mobilego software on your PC and follow the instructions accordingly (connecting your android using usb & debugging etc,.). You will get a RSA fingerprint request.. Easy Once it's done, u can close the mobilego software in the PC and open someother software for example Bacon root toolkit for oneplus one etc etc.. Hope this helps
adbkey doesn't exist
I don't know what i did wrong before, but my computer just DOES NOT have adbkey and adbkey.pub anywhere! First, i thought it was my phone's fault. Then, i tested in a different pc, and it worked. How do i generate those keys? There are no helpful answers in the internet yet...
Ok, I'm just going to ask it...
How do I set up SDK and ADB on my 3rd generation HDX 8.9. I find quite a few sets of instructions from 2011 but nothing seems up to date. And android studio is installing the driver in amazon.com which seems weird.
This is the latest I tried--here
I've searched and searched--I've tried several of these with no luck getting the pc to recognize the kindle.
Please no hateful replies--I've been at this for 2 days and I or really wouldn't ask.
Links would be really useful.
Thank you
Unless you are developing, you do not need android studio, jdk, or anything else. All you need to to do is download the sdk.
From here I am going to assume you are on Windows. Probably win 8 or 8.1?
Extract the sdk to a folder where you have write access.
Now find the folder called platform-tools in the sdk folder.
Now, in the Windows explorer bar, select all the text and type cmd
If you do this right, it will open a command window in the platform- tools folder.
If that is confusing, you can go to the sdk folder and then open the command prompt from the start window. Then type cd and drag the platform-tools folder to the command window.
Right now, all the devs are crying, because these are lazy shortcuts, but they work and save you from adding this folder to your path which is better programmatically, but a bit more involved.
Anyway, now you are where you need to be so, type
Code:
adb devices
And you should see your device, but, you probably won't. Stay tuned...

You don't need to install the whole Android Studio suite — just the SDK Tools will suffice.
As for the Kindle Fire drivers...
https://developer.amazon.com/appsan...ing-up-the-ADB-Driver-for-Kindle-Fire-Devices
So, hopefully you got either a printout of your device, or you got a blank line like...
Code:
List of devices attached...
This is because you do not have the driver installed. If you get another error, either you are in the wrong folder, or you did not enable and on your device.
Code:
To enable adb on your device, click on the serial number in settings>device options 5 times and it will give you the developer options. Enable adb is a toggle there.
Alright, now we need the driver. Go to device manager in your computer and delete anything that looks android or kindle in nature. Unhook your tablet and reboot.
Download the HDX toolkit from the developers error forum and try the install drivers tool in it.
Reboot.
Now, making sure you have enabled adb on your device, open up a command prompt in platform-tools, and try the command again.
Code:
Adb devices
You should see your serial number.
If you have any issues, report back. I may have skipped a step or two as I am giving these directions from memory.
Good luck.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I am stuck adb devices--the line is blank
--ADB is enabled
--USB debugging is checked
--kindle driver installed
--portable device deleted in device manager
--SDK is set up C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
The driver installed in a separate file in program files as amazon.com which looks odd to me.
Maybe my path is wrong?
Update I've tried the method found here but after 2 tries with reboots, I'm still getting MTP device and portable device->fire. Each time i see the last one I delete it, reboot plug in again and portable device appears.
I've also tried Amazon instructions here
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you are on the right track.
Unplug your kindle, delete the devices again, and try this file.

Use it just to install the drivers. (That is all it can do for you).
Then open a command prompt.
And plug your device in.
.
If the drivers are installed correctly, the path only matters to get adb to work (which the blank line tells you it is).
Also, there is a chance the devices will show up the same after the correct drivers are used. Mtp is able to run aside adb, but on Win 8 anyway, not fastboot (don't worry about fastboot).
