Not sure what's going on with this

Come on I read so much stuff about adb on this forum noone has any idea?

if you have a 64bit computer (assuming win7 64bit or vista 64bit installed) then you must install the 64bit version of java as well.
Open up 64bit intern explorer, head to java's website, and look through stuff to find the 64bit download.
I'll try it anything else that comes to mind is appreciated thank you broseph

[Q] Need help with debdroid multi chroot. bash not functioning

Hi, I am trying to get debdroid installed. I tried to follow the direction in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950083.
The problem I am having is that when I type bash, it says bash not found. So I added the bash to the $PATH variable. Now bash works but I am getting the error "bash: groups: command not found". I tried searching for the groups command but could not find it. I also tried installing bash from another source but get the same error.
Currently, I have 1.5.7 with gladiatrix with root. I am using the the free android terminal emulator to input the commands. I am trying to install debdroid to run backtrack 5. I tried to ask questions in the debdroid thread but since I am not a developer, I was not able to post in the (dev) section. I saw that other people have successfully installed debdroid on their atrix. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Debian initial installation

Hello!
I have a Linux Ubuntu on my home PC.
I want to install Debian ARM on my FlyTouch 3 device but not on the Android, on a blank device.
I searched for instructions, but I found only the 'Installing Debian on device with Android'.
Please, help me with this.
Is it real?
The mounted Debian image for ARM I'm already have.
If it is, then, please, give me the instructions.
I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, since Android will remain on your device (but won't run in the background, it will just remain inactive on your Flash memory), but Google gave me this:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...irmware-debian-v0-3-flytouch-sd-bootable.html
I've already saw this.
But I wanna install debian NOT apon the android.
Anybody here?

[Solved] n00b needs help with adb and Ubuntu

Hi all,
I searched quite a lot, but seems to me not nearly enough. I've been using adb on my Windows 7 machine for a while now, but would like to have adb at work on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine where I am going to start some boring development.
I have installed the sdk and eclipse and and and (if it is important WHAT I installed more than this, I will elaborate)
lsusb returns
Code:
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04e8:689e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
so I have set my
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
to reflect like this:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",ATTRS{idProduct}=="689e",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666
I'm kinda hoping this is wrong and there is an easy fix that I can laugh about.
When I have the emulator running and my phone plugged in
Code:
$sudo adb devices
returns a blank line and something about an emulator, only emulator running yields no blank line and only phone plugged in yields a nice and quiet blank line.
I had this on Windows as well when I struggled with drivers, but the CD sorted it out. I read that the necessary drivers comes with the SDK, but I might be wrong.
I have tried different tutorials and different values for the idProduct and idVendor as some tutorials claim they should be kept constant and not vary per phone... I restarted adb each time I made a change with
Code:
$sudo adb kill-server; sudo adb start-server; sudo adb devices
I'm currently running FirstUA v1.2 if that changes anything.
If you need more info, don't hesitate to ask, I know it's easier to solve problems with the right info (coming from an IT helpdesk).

The SDK Drivers are not for Galaxy Ace , Google for the drivers , they should be easy to find
Sent from my Ultma Weapon using XDA App
It seems that my problem begins with our Proxy server.... As the SDK manager and I had a quarrel about authentication, I downloaded some of the packages directly and forced the manger to use them instead of those on Google. With this, I accidentally downloaded an outdated adb, which had problems specifically with the Galaxy line of phones.... Downloading the correct package now, will see if it works better
Maybe I must just stop before I think of continuing I installed the newer r06 version, and my device is picked up, but now adb shell gives me this:
Code:
:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
S58300c017faf device
:~$ adb shell
sh: applet not found
Any ideas where to look for the applet? Maybe I must continue tomorrow, new day new ideas.
Do you have Debugging turned on? And is the device rooted with Busybox? I assume yes since you're running a custom ROM but double checking.
If you're having trouble, I'd either: a) run a VM with XP SP3; b) head to the Android Q&A board here.
mmm, I never though of looking at that, since I figured they do say busybox is installed on this ROM, but thanx for nudging me into that direction, I found this post from ketut.kumajaya so I'm looking into that. Had some issues with not abling to get rw access, but my only problem there was a spelling error in the terminal.
I still get the error with the sh: applet not found, even after I tried the advice on that link. I tried installing all 3 versions shipped with BusyBox Installer on all 3 locations, still nothing. Just had an idea I'll try, if you invoke sh in linux you get a new shell, when I invoke sh I get the applet not found error. Maybe I should upgrade my sh or something. Worth a try
I am running a VM for the VB programming I do at work, but that doesn't have USB support (to much trouble to reinstall Virtual Box now just for USB support). Last night I tested on Windows 7 (first time since I started using this ROM) and it failed with the same error. I'm sure it's the sh that's broken or something. Will test on my wife's phone tonight (running the same ROM).
Thanx for your ideas so far. That's what I love about an online community, even if you don't exactly know what's wrong, people sling ideas around that nudge you in the right direction. One error message at a time
Solved thanx to Ketut
Thanx for all your help guys.

[problems with adb]

Operating System in use:
Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64
Telephone model to be used: ZTE Z5s mini NX406E
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400/410 1,21 GHz
Android 4.4.4 KitKat
I try to make a backup using the adb, using the command:
adb backup all or adb backup -all
example:
[email protected]:/home/life/adb# adb backup -all
Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation...
I go to the phone screen, I enter the password and the copy continues, Hard pains about 3 seconds this, I only create a file of barely weighs about 549 bytes, when I review the adb versions, performing the following steps:
[email protected]:/home/life/adb# adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 1:7.0.0+r33-1
[email protected]:/home/life/adb# adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
[email protected]:/ $ exit
Question # 1: They are different versions, for that reason I can not make the backup?
Question # 2: I need to have in Debian the same version that has the phone to make the backup, is it the only way if I want to use the adb?
Question # 3: How can I locate and install version 1.0.31 of the adb in my debian?
Question # 4: Can I have different installed versions of the adb at the same time in my debian without having any kind of problems?
Note: I am learning to disarm ROM, to study them and start creating new ones.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
sorry my bad english, I use google translate
Question.
I forced myself to use Windows 7 to be able to have part of the answers I'm looking for, even though using Windows 7 I was able to make the copies, having the same version of the mobile in Windows 7, I am interested in knowing in what way using Debian I can do it. I know at least that if the versions are different there are limitations. But Windows is easy to have a folder with each version of adb, however in Linux is not so easy, at least for those who do not have much experience in this field.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
