ADB binaries for ARM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for updated ADB binaries for ARM. I've only been able to find the binaries for Android 4.4.2. I want to be able to use ADB/fastboot from my tablet or phone to communicate with another Android device. Yes both are OTG enabled. You can do this by placing the binaries in system/bin on rooted devices. I just need binaries that are up to date. Where might I get those?

[Q] chroot Linux installed, then..

I installed ubuntu 9.10 and fedora
apt-got openjdk and then ran android sdk to download and unpack platform-tools in the right place..
Is there a way to use adb and fastboot so I won't need my laptop to connect to my other android devices? or is it impossible on the ATP?
I get "cannot execute binary files" from terminal..
thanks!
I'm unaware of any adb client binaries that are built for use on an ARM platform, but if you happen to find one, please share.
I have notes on setting up the android sdk on the TF's, problem is where to find source for aapt and porting it to Linux/ARM. Eh, well disregarding renderscript...
Adb will be the same case as aapt afaik.

adb is in system/bin of the device..
I can share it if you need it
now it's fastboot that I want... aaaarrrm...

[Q] ADB inside Android?

I'm sorry If I'm missing something really obvious, or if this question has been asked before, but I didn't find anything in the search, so here goes:
Firstly, as the title suggests, I'm wondering whether it would be possible to run ADB (Android Debug Bridge) inside an existing Android device. I saw this, but what I want is to be able to compile an ADB binary (plus any necessary libraries) for Android, put it on my sdcard, and run ADB commands from within a terminal emulator.
Secondly, I'm wondering whether, after installing ADB on one device (device #1), I could connect that device and another device (device #2) together, and use device #1 to perform ADB commands on device #2 (for example, rooting device #2 without needing a PC).
So..... Would it be possible?
This would fare better in the Android Q&A forum. I'll flag it to the forum mod and ask them to move it
Done, and Thank You Sir.

I want to start by saying I'm no expert, but to the best of my knowledge, this is how it works.
adb runs native on android, the android property is ro.secure=1 this is found in the default.prop file. ADB is run in user privilege mode with this property setting. Not all of the adb shell commands will work with the device in this mode. With ro.secure=0 property setting, adb will run with root user privileges and all adb shell commands will function. There is an adb comand that when issued will return the value of the setting, but off the top of my head I could not tell you it. The file default.prop is part of the boot.img and will load every time the device is booted, so to edit the file the boot.img would have to be unpacked, edited, repacked, and pushed to the device boot partition.
I don't know why you would want to connect two smartphones using adb and don't know if it is even possible. It is probably best to run the binary with a script on the device where you want it installed. Good Luck with your project.
Sorry, I don't think I quite understand....

I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear, but I'm talking about running the ADB client/server on an android phone (normally done on a development computer), not the ADB daemon.

That's also not possible, as the script involves running some complicated ADB-ish things like "adb restore" and running while device #2 is turned off - hence the need for device #1.

[Q] [q] an issue with reaching adb with root privileges

Hi guys i have a galaxy s3 xxella and running CM 10.1 custom rom developer options enabled and usb debugging too. and root access open for apps and adb. oh and phone is fully rooted and using custom recovery. everything is normal like you see but when i trying to reach adb my device status is offline it shows and i cant do anything.
CM10.1 is based on Jelly Bean 4.2.2. In order to be able to communicate in adb mode with a 4.2 device, you need to update your SDK. In your Android SDK folder, just go to adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdkmanager.exe, and install the new API version and SDK platform for 4.2.2.
Also, if you set up the Environment Variable to reach adb easily, know that in the new SDK package it has moved from the "tools" directory to "platform-tools", so change the variables accordingly.
When connecting to your device in adb, you should now see a popup window on your phone asking you to confirm key exchange between computer and device (that's also new in 4.2.2)
Finally, if you are using a Windows App called SnapPea, uninstall it as it replaces adb with a crappy dysfunctional exe.

[ROOT] Technical how to ?

HEllo,
I'm actually trying to hack THOMSON THBK1-10 tablet (also know at VOYO A1).
This is a dual boot system with Android 4.4.2, and Windows 8.1, based on Bay Trail (Atom Z3720) CPU. Running kernel is 3.4.43
After a long fight, i gained accesses to /system and /data partitions.
I have so copyed su binary, and changed the access mode to ugo+rx. Good !
Sadly, this is not enough to gain root access. everytime i'm issuing su command i got into a $ prompt.
I must mention i only have ADB wireless for this device: the USB is acting as an USB host, it is not possible to plug it into a PC/MAC.
My question is what i must check, do, to gain root accesses ? What should i look, try, dig ?
Thank you !
Self reply: you only need to have SU installed, as i mentionned.

Latest ADB source code and cross compiled binaries for mips-linux.

Hi,
I'm looking for adb for mips-linux. I want to execute adb commands from my mips based router over wifi and avoid having to run adb from pc.
Unfortunately I was unable to find a binary and any make files posted several years ago like here:
GitHub - karfield/adb: a standalone-built version of android adb
a standalone-built version of android adb. Contribute to karfield/adb development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
and
Build adb for Loongson(MIPS) – Hev's Blog
don't work on the current version anymore.
I need a adb version that is capable to work via adb wifi as the current version of the adb binaries for windows and Linux do.
Anyone has made an adb binary for mips and could release it? I want to avoid having to compile the whole android source code just to use 2 mb of files from it.
Thanks!
