Welcome
I was trying to unlock the bootloader for my Nexus 6P, but the commands were not working. I had to update the files for adb and fastboot, but it finally worked with the new command "fastboot flashing unlock" . So I have uploaded a zip with the up to date files so you guys can also use adb and fastboot.
If you haven't set up your fastboot/adb here is a quick guide on how to set it up easily.
---Guide---
1. Unzip the file, and copy the adb folder to your preferred destination.
2. Open up terminal and type : nano ~/.bash_profile
3. Use the path of the folder and add this line (replace kingmikel with your username, and replace Documents with your path) : export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/kingmikel/Documents/adb

Is there some reason to not do this with the SDK?

This is easier. You don't have to download Java and then download the SDK.

hi
how can i use Android 1.5 SDK r3 after download and extract to my pc to use tho code and etc
step by step please
If you're talking about things like adb etc, just unzip the sdk to a folder on your pc. Open the command line window (Run>Cmd on windows XP or just Cmd on Vista). You'll then need to use the DOS command CD to get to the SDK folder and tools.
If anyone can remember the way you could setup a directory in DOS so that it was visible from anywhere (ie you didn't need to CD into it to use the commands) it would be useful

Hi there, yes I know, there are some threads about this, but nothing special about our HTC LEGEND...
Somebody tried to install a custom splash-screen?
Or somebody created a custom-splash screen for HTC Legend?
I´ve found a tool for G1, that creates a splash-screen, but I don´t know if it works on my Legend... Don´t wanna brick it
TheGrammarFreak created one from my bootanimation, see HERE
As for myself I have no idea howto
Get the image you want. It needs to be 320 pixels wide and 480 high. Save it out as a 24 bit bmp file called splash1 (ms paint does the job). Any name will do, but for the sake of this guide we'll use that.
Download this tool and extract it into a known directory. Put the bmp you created earlier in there. Open cmd (if you're on windows) and cd into that directory (cd C:\nbimg for example) then run this command:
Code:
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 320 -h 480
Take the output file and change the extension to .img
To install:
Reboot your phone to fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 C:\nbimg\splash1.img
Yeah guys, u r cool!

Linux users…
For those of you who use Linux:
1.: Download View attachment splash1script.zip, and extract it somewhere convenient.
2.: Create an image in GIMP with the dimensions 320x480. (You may also use an image from the web, and resize it to 320x480 in GIMP.)
3.: In GIMP go to "Save As…" (or press "CTRL+SHIFT+s").
4.: Browse to where you extracted the script.
5.: Click "Select File Type (By Extension)".
6.: Scroll down and select "Windows BMP image".
7:: Name the file "splash1" (without ""), for your own convenience.
8.: Click "Advanced Options".
9.: Choose "24 Bits" - "R8 G8 B8".
10.: Click "Save".
11.: Open a "Terminal" (Either with "Applications>Accessories>Terminal" or with "CTRL+ALT+t").
12.: "cd" to the folder where you extracted the script and saved your image. (For example: "cd ~/Downloads".)
13.: Write "./splash1script splash1.bmp".
14.: Follow the instructions in "Terminal".
15.: Done.

It's show the "Device not allowed" when I flash the splash1. I chenck the /proc/mtd, There is no partition of splash1. How can I flash it?
Do u have S-OFF from alpharev installed?
If not, u can´t install it...sorry
I can't get it to flash - it isn't finding my device when it's in fastboot, only when it's in recovery mode, or just on.
I've flashed AlphaRev and it created the .raw65 image successfully, but my device isn't recognised by the script, nor by the adb, when it's in fastboot mode.
Even booting into recovery, starting an adb shell, and using 'reboot bootloader' just disconnects the device. I have no idea how to fix it.
I'm using the linux tool on Ubuntu btw, and I've definitely flashed to the bootloader before (can't remember what, though)

Hi TheGrammarFreak
I tried the fastboot command on my HTC Legend with HBOOT HTC dev unlocked recently, but I just get this:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
sending 'splash1' (300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.126s]
writing 'splash1'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.239s
Any suggestions?
didn't work for me either - probably the htcdev unlock didn't include s-off for splash1?!
The HTC bootloader unlcock method sucks. It allows nothing except writing direcrly to the system. It even checks for signatures when using fastboot from the Android SDK. At least I get signature error when trying to flash a .img file thru fastboot.

or copy the exe and the needed dll's to system32
however when i type adb it better just work regardless of what folder I'm in...
If you are running .bat & a Noob it will never work.... Just follow the Directs posted in OP
Thanks OP for the tip.
This is the easiest way to start adb.
OK, so I don't know what I did wrong but I named the variable name to adb and then the variable value ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which is where my adb.exe is located. But if I open up a command prompt and do adb devices it says:
C:\Users\Tiffany>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
If I cd to that location adb works but I thought it would be cool to just open a command prompt and be able to use adb but it's not working for me. Any suggestions or do u see anything wrong?

Tiffany, try this from a cmd prompt:
path = %path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
then adb should work regardless of where you are in cmd

AHH, You are awesome. That worked. So should I delete that variable that I added or just leave it there?
Edit: Ok. So it works when I add that path but if I close that prompt and then reopen and try to use adb with out adding that path again I get the error. So do I have to do that every time I open the command prompt?

No you shouldn't have to if you open the cmd window with admin rights and set the path=. Run cmd as administrator or use the posts above and edit the path variable and add a ; to the end of it and then the path to platform-tools
either way should work
and if you get that to stick you won't need the other variable you added before

Ok, so I ran the cmd prompt as admin and it still won't stick. So your saying I need to add ; before C: and at the end of it? Sorry. Not the greatest with pc's. Thanks for trying to help though.

I was referring to updating the system path. Where you created the variable, underneath that should be the "System variables" section. Scroll down in that the the variable "path" and double click it. Move the cursor to the end of the line entry and paste in the ;C:\...etc... line from above

Definitely not root but hey, still pretty cool.
Thread moved to General as not development, thanks for sharing though
I always wanted to know how to set adb so you can use it anywhere. Editing the path in the system variable worked for me. Thanks RyteSyde.
The right way to avoid weird issues.... [Noob Proof sorry in advance]
It actually works perfect if you just do the following:
1. Right Click My Computer -> Properties
2. On the left pane, Find and Click "Advanced system settings"
3. Under the "Advanced" Tab Find and Click "Environment Variables..."
4. In the box for "User variables for [your name here; e.g. David]" there will be a button that says "New..." Click it.
5. Now you have a box in front of you with two fields:
1. Variable name: entering path here is really safer and can help to avoid clogging up the environment namespaces (cluttering your ram/registry)
Code:
Path
2. Variable value: directory containing the adb.exe you want to use**; i.e.
Code:
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools
**to find this with ease search for "adb.exe" or look for it in "...sdk\platform-tools\" or "sdk\tools".
**This is a version dependent thing for the Android SDK which folder its in.
6. Click OK on all the dialogs and exit the windows we opened here.
7. Hit the windows key + R and type cmd.exe; hit Enter
8. Type adb into the newly opened cmd window. hit Enter
9. If adb runs all is well. Your DONE. If not continue to step 10.
--If it work stop here!--
10. At this point we are going to select our entry from step 5. (in Environment variables...)and delete it. Otherwise windows has two pointers to our adb.exe.
11. Navigate in the "System variables" box and scroll down until you see Path in the Variable Column. Select it and Click "Edit..."
12. Click inside "Variable value:" go to the very end of this and drop a ";" no spaces. Enter the value from Step 5.2
13. Click OK/Apply on all dialogs and reboot your PC.
14. Repeat steps 7-9 and if all is well your done. If not you may need to redownload the AndroidSDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html then repeat this guide.
The reason for first trying to do this under "User" as opposed to "System" is if you need to track your changes to Path in case anything goes wrong as it can be a daunting task to go through the System version (its really full of stuff that needs to be there XD )
But don't take my word for it: My path
Code:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static
and my Windows is brand new Store-bought not OEM. It tends get get bigger the more stuff windows needs to globally keep track of that doesn't live in C:\Windows\
Hope this helped!

I could really use some help I have a windows vista 32-bit
The first time I tried to set up adb I messed up bad and deleted my original environment variable path
so now I can't even do it because I need my original environment variable path then ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
I didn't create a system restore point so I am screwed is there anyway I can recover my original environment variable path?

But I still get the same error as before! I need someone to please help me figure this out before I get even more frustrated!
Make sure you have installed apktool correctly
Windows:
Download The Following From Here
apktool1.5.2.tar.bz2
apktool-install-windows-r05-ibot.tar.bz2
Unzip both files with winrar and put the contents (there should be 3 files) in C:\Windows
if you have java jdk installed you should be able to type apktool and hit enter at the command prompt and if installed it will give you all the options for apkool
Linux:
Download apktool-install-linux-* file
Download apktool-* file
Unpack both to /usr/local/bin directory (you must have root permissions)
Mac OS X:
Download apktool-install-macos-* file
Download apktool-* file
Unpack both to /usr/local/bin directory (you must have root permissions)
did everything still not working

some GSI doesn't boot untill you flash a zip file via custom recovery.i put the zip in the link of the post.This type of GSI doesn't fix brightness slider by following the Bellow tutorial.....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83635205&postcount=1
Requirements:
1.Gsi Rom.
2.laptop with Linux.
3.Basic knowledge about Linux cmd line.
4.Woeking brain.
Working procedure:
1. First extract Rom from zip file which you download.Rename as 'system.img'
2.Then open a cmd terminal where the system.img Located and run below cmd one by one...
simg2img system.img sr.img
sudo mkdir /mnt/g
sudo mount sr.img /mnt/g
sudo nautilus
When you run last cmd it will open a file explorer.follow the path
/mnt/g/system/framwar/
And there you find services.jar file.copy this file wherever you want. Modify the jar file with the help of the below link..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...reen-backlight-brightness-slide-t4084449/amp/
after modify jar file replace it with older one and open a cmd terminal on the location where your jar file is and run below cmd
chmod 0644 services.jar
3.Now simply flash sr.img via fastbootd with below cmd
fastboot flash system sr.img
And earse all data on your phone.
after boot run cmd via Android terminal
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness 2047
Now your slider work great...
If success then don't forget to thanks me. It is totally free:laugh::laugh:
