Hi
I'm feeling like a complete idiot here but I cannot find the android drivers, specifically; android_winusb.inf which I need to modify to root my tablet.
I get to here 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio' and there's no SDK tools folder, no extras folder, nothing; just 'bin', 'gradle', 'lib', 'licence' and 'plugins'. I can run SDK via Android Studio and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB driver but I've no idea where it is.
Am I running a newer version of Studio? Has implementation of SDK changed? This is on Win8 64 bit.
Any help much appreciated
@Badmiker,
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.
On my PC, android_winusb.inf is here:
Code:
[path]\android-sdk-windows\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
...[path] being the folder on my hard drive in which I've placed my android-sdk-windows folder.
Thanks
I eventually found it down in Users\Blah\Appdata\Local\Android...
I've modified the USB driver to include the devices codes but it's not showing up in 'Fastboot devices' though it is in 'adb devices'
Can I root from here?

I think so, yeah, but I'd need your specific device name to know for sure.

I'm trying to root my kids Kocaso tablets; a MX736 and a M752H.
I'm happy to puch a complete new ROM to them, but it's not proving easy! Any help appreciated.

Z4root works, just don't mess with the CPU. I did and it's been buggy. I'm trying to figure it out. I'm also looking for a recovery/ROM that works but no luck on that. When you root it, download superSU and busybox if you can get the pro versions.

Here's the Z4Root thread.
Thanks for the help.
I've run z4, without any success, and pushed via adb. All proceed fine but 'root checker' and Titanium say that neither tablet is rooted...
Very frustrating!
Any suggestions on what else I can do would be great....

I've done some searching and I can't find anything on this. I can't find any download links or whatever.

Oh ok.
I'm installing it now.
If you search my stats i made a good thread on stting it up i attached drivers too
Weird: had no problems using adb on my HTC Magic, but adb remount w/ the HD2 gives me 'remount failed: Unknown error: 0'
I have the sdk installed. When I connect the HD2, it asks for the location, I specify the location of the SDK. It cannot find anything. What exactly is it looking for?

After downloading the Android SDK, use its manager to download the windows drivers and it will be downloaded in, for example, C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
Use this folder when windows ask you for drivers.
OMFG I'm about to throw this POS out of the window! My G1 never gave me close to as many problems as this hackjob. I am going crazy trying to figure out how adb works on the hd2, on the G1 it was in the phone when it was rooted, I downloaded the program from java, installed sdk manager and the windows usb drivers, what do I do next? It still doesn't see my device, neither does droidexplorer and I have usb debugging on. ALL I WANT IS MY DAMN GPS TO WORK, POS IS ROOTED BUT WON'T SAVE MY CHANGES WHEN I CHANGE THE GPS.CONF FILE! sorry, no sleep, work nights, one day left to fix this phone... or I might just buy a damn iphone
Well it seems some files are gonna need to be pushed over ADB and i have been trying to figure out how to get it working on the 3D. I am very familiar with Adb had it running on my 4G. at first I was getting "device not found" so then I hooked up htc sync and now I get "operation not permitted". Maybe if someone know what driver needs to be installed it can get posted here, cuz everyones gonna need it.
adb devices shows that mines attached.
I'm sure you have debug mode enabled... did you see if there was an update for the android sdk tools?
When I went to root my NS4G I had to update everything, and then it changed my android sdk\tools into android sdk\platform-tools.
Couldn't get crap until I realized that one.

That was for manual pushing. Shinzul is packaging all the pushing and chmod commands into a packaged app for temp root. This should be fairly simple for all users.
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide

Download the attached zip, extract it to a folder.. Go into device manager and find your phone. Right click and choose update driver (or something similar). Choose browse my computer for drivers. Click let me pick my driver from a list. Click all devices. Click have disk. Browse to the folder you extracted earlier and select 'android_winusb.inf'. Choose 'Android ADB Interface'. You should now be able to use ADB with your 3D, albeit very limited due to no root access
So, FAIL on my part. I guess i did have it set up properly.I kept trying to run "adb remount" and thats when I was getting the error(need root). Didn't even think to try other commands but thanks everyone who helped out, got it figured out.
Wondering if someone knew this answer. I'm not new to adb but came across one issue i can't figure out. I have my adb set up for my o.g. Evo which is using Android SDK r6 which works fine. On Evo 3D i cant get passed "adb devices". All it says is list devices attached but it doesnt list which device like its not seeing it. I tried SDK r10 and r11 and nothing. I'm trying to push fre3vo.

Do you have the drivers installed. Also, go to settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB debugging is selected.
I'm not sure selecting/deselecting USB debugging and/or Allow mock locations will make it work, but I remember having the same exact issue and I started playing with those and it worked. Maybe someone can confirm. Good luck.
It was the drivers. Who'd of thunk,lol Thank ya!

For anyone else having problems getting ADB to run after checking the above mentioned solutions if you're still having trouble.....Make sure HTC Sync is not running on your computer. In fact, unless you use it to sync your phone with your computer, which most people do not. Just uninstall it. Once you have the drivers for your phone installed you don't need to keep Sync installed.
Still no luck.....I did uninstall HTC and tried everything......even uninstalled sdk and same thing I really need help.
I typed dir/w and got volume in c has no label. Volume serial # is eoree-14a9....couldthat b a problem....how fix......help at this all day yesterday......would like root or temp. Please help

you are posting with forward slashes, are you on linux? if you are not, and are on windows then you need backslashes. anyways, go to your android folder, then the platform tools folder. you should see adb.exe if so, hold the shift key and click on an empty area in this folder. in the pop up there will be an option that say "open cmd prompt window here" click that, then in the cmd prompt window type "adb devices" without the quotes. does it list your device? if not, open device manager and see if there are any things shown with errors if so, right click and select update drivers. if this helped pm in accordance to your promise in the pron thread!

After you bring up your command promt....You have to change directory to the sdk.
cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (if the latest version)
or cd \android-sdk-windows\tools (if and older version)
Well to start don't have an Android folder....I don't think or c one. Also I do c the file in sdk folder but can't do anything u said to do....I'm on windows 7.and yes a promise is a promise.
i got c:\android-sdk\tools>.....after doing what u said is that good?

If you installed the sdk to the root of your hard drive (c) and you go to my computer....you should see a folder called "android-sdk-windows". If you have that, then it's installed and in the right place. You just need to change directories to it once you open your command prompt.

Yes. Now with your phone plugged in & charge only selected, type:
adb devices
it says daemon started successfully list of devices successfully ht16ahx05283 device

and was the deal up held i wonder(yes i was in that thread too)???? bump bump buummmpp
Heres the deal. I have a MAC with a newly installed hard drive. On my old hard drive I had everything setup with SDK and Adb but that was when I had an HTC Hero. My problem is this: When in terminal my damn computer keeps prompting me for a password but it doesnt allow me to type anything except control C which aborts the program. It never was like that with the old hard drive.
2. Ive dl SDK for MAC unzipped it and saved it to my desktop and my hard drive.
3. When I click on tools it says "adb_has_moved.txt"
4. It says the adb tool has moved to platform-tools/ and if you dont see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD manager and install "android SDK Platform-tools and also update my path environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so I can execute adb from any location. What the heck does this mean and how do I fix it. Also how do I know if SDK is installed correctly.
5. I DL some version of eclipse that was recommended from SDK but I dont know how to use that either.
6. I have tried all the root methods shown here in XDA except the on with the Dock since I dont have a dock.
7. Also ADB does not recognize my device and my debug is selected. I cannot get it to find my device.
8. One last question when some instructions say unzipped and move the root exploit to /data/tmp/ is that the file labeled under sdcard/data or is it the one inside the Android Folder listed as "data"
Please anyone help if possible.
let me try that
Stupid question but How do I launch SDK?

Make sure your phone has USB Debugging Mode enabled. Otherwise, adb will not recognize your device.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
However, you will have to modify for MAC.
In my opinion the easiest way to root the Photon is still using the dock method. Otherwise, try the One Click Root method (Torpedo) as mentioned above. Then you don't have to worry about issuing all the commands.
I got it done I got it done. What I did was borrow my daughters windows netbook and the one click method worked on the first try. Thanks to all who replied. I will definitely hit your thanks buttons.

im sorry.. my tool was a one click i dint think i needed to give it instructions.. especially teh part of how to run it on your computer... just fyi.. when invoking sudo (to do things as admin/root) on your computer. you are asked to enter in your password.. as a privacy/security feature it will NOT display any characters.. ergo it looks blank...
as you arent teh first one to run into this issue ill add instructions for mac users ( i know anyone running linux can figure out how to run a bash script, and windows users have a bat file after installing 209387249087 drivers... but they still figure it out ;P)
In reading carrett's root, unlock and install guide as well as thecubed's Project FreeGee thread, it's clear that adb needs to be installed on my phone. Unless it's hidden somewhere, I believe that I need to install it as well as install adb drivers on my laptop. As far as the phone goes, Google play has wifi apps, but I can't find a tethered app to install. In addition, after a couple hours of searching, I don't find adb software or drivers to install on my laptop.
I'd prefer to not brick my phone on 1st attempt, so I pose the following questions:
1) Am I completely confusing things or am I correct in thinking that I need to explicity install adb both on my phone and laptop
2) assuming that some sort of adb install must happen, where do I find the installation files?
I think that I've finally found the answers to my questions: install the ADT bundle which includes adb. I'm downloading and installing it as I write this.

dude link it?
Uh, ADB support is built into Android.
You need to have USB Debugging turned on for some stuff to work though. In Settings>Developer Options>(check USB debugging box).
Then ADB SHOULD be installed with the LG drivers (if not I think the FreeGee download has it built in).
And if it is not, you can always install the Android SDK (HERE).
I know it is in there.
(Sorry, my memory is fuzzy, I've had ADB on my laptop for a few years now... not sure where I got it)
