I've created a file explorer to manage Android devices.
Latest Version: v0.3.1
http://code.google.com/p/adb-file-explorer/
See Google Code page for full details.
Features:
Explore filesystem, push/pull files, mkdir, rm, mv, run shell commands, single/bulk app installer.
Compatible with Android ports (e.g. HTC Vogue).
Plenty more to come.
You will need to place adb.exe in C:\Windows\System32 and have the drivers installed. May take a few seconds to load if ADB is not running.
Please report all bugs on the google code page.

DAMN YOU! haha just joking man.... i just started coding last night of my own adb explorer because i really enjoy looking at a graphical interpretation of my files. in that case im just gonna ditch it and use yours. thanks man
very cool!
Not to rain on your parade, but you know there's one built into ddms right?
Great minds think alike
Should have a more stable version by the end of the week. Got quite a few things in store for this!

If you've got root support in yours, then its already better.
I'd love to be able to rename system files and replace them on the fly
Will this work with wine/ubuntu?
@corp769. Don't scrap it, but maybe make a linux version?

No idea about wine, I might test it when I release a more stable version. If you can get IE and office working in wine then I don't see why you can't get this working.
as far as making a version for linux, i really want to, but i have no experience whatsoever as far as making a graphical interface for linux.... if you can point me in a right direction and a good tutorial or two, i can pick it up in less than a day and work on it. btw, im very skilled with linux and bla bla bla, including programming, but never really wanted to make a graphical front end for anything, and never cared because i am more of a console guy; a graphic version would be nice though

very nice very NICE
keep up the good work man
I am scrapping my linux "port" because DDMS does everything else I need it to. Sorry guys, and if you were using linux, then you wouldnt be in this thread for windows based programs
Just released v0.2, it's a BIG improvement over v0.1.
Let me know what you guys think
Enjoy!

I like it. So far so good. Can't wait till the next release.
For sh*ts and giggles, I tested it out using Wine, and after some fiddling around with it, i was able to get it to work. I also, of course, emulated it in vmware, worked with no problems what so ever

You'll get the 'error: device offlin' error when the phone isn't plugged in, I haven't got round to handling errors yet.
Try plugging the phone in, going into a command prompt (start > run > cmd) and type 'adb devices' if you phone shows up there then open the program and it should work.
Which file/folder were you pushing to get the permission denied error?
Could try another remount or even closing and reopening the app then remounting.
If you could give the exact steps you took to produce the error that would be great!

i am running android1.1 on the HTC vogue its a port from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3963122#post3963122
on the newest update adb has been included and i want to be able to transfer files
however when i posted this same question on that board they told me that it maybe the android OS port because it uses "cramfs" which i guess is read only
so for the mix-up im only an end user and new to this stuff

Hi Guys!
Android Commander is windows application to keep control on your android apps and files from PC. This is a small, very very fast and intuitive app.
If someone want to try it, go a head. But remember, you doing this on your own risk! I'm not professional programmer, this is only my hobby
Program Requirements
Before you install the program you should read this:
Phone Requirements:
- ADB ROOT Access
- BusyBox
- „Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging” must be enabled
- USB Cable
Computer Requirements:
- Windows XP/Vista/7
- ADB USB Driver
- Java JDK
- Minimum 800×600 screen resolution
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Android Commander should works for any android device, but here is list of devices confirmed by me or users.
Before you report any problem to me, read program FAQ.
Full list of program features.

Program wasn't updated for a long time, but it still can work with any android device. The only think you have to do is update ADB binaries in program directory.

Ok, first off I start the app thinking it was an installer. Tells me no device is connected.
I assume the the app is now shut off since there is no indication of it running.
I plug in my phone and turn on debugging and then I get a window that says
'adb' is not a valid integer value. Then something about my adb server is out of date. Beats me what this supposed to mean.
I attempt to click the X on the warning message and it keeps poping up. So I used task manager to kill it.
WindowsXp SP3.
DroidExplorer works
Out of all seriousness I like your slim and mean approach. Just doesn't seem to work on my machine.
looks like I need a newer SDK

You get this message if you have an adb server running (like from droid explorer) that is a different version then you are trying to start "right now". Droid Explorer uses 1.6r3 with the current install, the next release has 1.6r4.

Out of curiosity, what is the app doing that "requires" busybox. With Droid Explorer, I use busybox's ls command because the stock one sucks and doesn't display all the information when doing a ls -lF, plus i dont think it supports --color=always

Woah! you actually did a fresh install of windows to get this app working?
anyhow, if you open a command prompt and type "adb devices" what does it output.
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on the device. Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
Thanks camalot for your help, you are good guy. And also THX to you UpGrad3 (you are first ).
BTW new version soon
hmmm doesn't seem to work well with a multi-monitor setup or maybe some other issue.
When I start it with the phone not plugged in I get the Device not found off to the edge of the monitor. (APK Manager shows on the taskbar)
Connect the phone and Refresh and it's found and click OK.
Then your app disappears... nothing the the taskbar but if I check Task Manager it's running.
Little help please
Oh yeah WinXP SP3

I have done a clean install of cyanogen 4.2.9.1 cause i had too much stuff on my fone so i thought id clean it up a little bit and since that android commander is not working again so its something to do with my phone does anyone kno what may be wrong ? thanks.
new version available
this program is so strange for me if i do a clean install of cyanogen it doesnt work well version 0.5 didnt and after a day or two when i have lots of apps installed to the phone it works i dont understand and now the latest version 0.6 doesnt work but it works in the places 0.5 didnt e.g. it allways opens up no matter what even on clean install so this has been improved only now it doesnt detect my phone when connected i have attached screenshots to help me explain they are here:
when i open the program i receive this message:
and when i click ok it opens like this:
please fix this cause i really like this program and appreciate ur work
as i said before, it's not program problem. this error showing because of program can not read informations form your phone. many people had issues like you (also on different forums), and every time problem was with SDK/ADB.
I wrote this basic little application to help out those who are either afraid of the command prompt or simply just don't want to deal with it. Drop it in the same folder as adb and run it.
Feel free to leave feedback or contact me with any questions/comments.
http://incredible.groove2.net/IncredibleRooter.zip
If people decide they like this, I will continue development and add some new features to it.
Check out the Readme.txt for more information and detailed explanations.
Thank you, I had rooted mine before using the command prompt, your application save me time on taking off the battery and waiting for reboot. Thanks again.

Thanks for your work, it doesn't go unappreciated =).
Glad to see people are finding it useful. Expect a CityID removal button in the near future.
where exactly do we drop this? what's the path?
As the OP stated, place this program in the same folder as adb, so depending on where your sdk is located it might go in C:\sdk\tools\
what's the adb?
Please bare with me...

Nice App.
Thanks!
What does the app do? Will it help get people into the adb shell? That seems to be the real problem.
When will option be avail to remove cityid? that is big reason for me to root.
also please explain more on where to find adb folder?
thanks for this app cant wait to try it.

well I'm stuck. tried several cards tried all the methods and still no go. It goes to the screen with the red triangle and dead ends. and after that it just says cant open cache recovery command guess im screwed oh well thanx for posting all the steps you guys went through effen pisses me off though
Has anyone used this and has it worked. I've tried every method on every site and nothing, I'm going to try this when I get home from work.
Hey guys, sorry if there's been any confusion.
This app will not make ADB start up in recovery. That's still something that we still have to achieve to get any of this to work.
Peronally I used the Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and it works pretty much almost every single time I just do a simple adb reboot.
This application was designed to make the rooting process a quick and painless command prompt-less process after you achieve adb running in recovery mode. I used this on my friend's Incredible and the rooting process took me literally 30 seconds to complete.

I used a SanDisk 2GB works everytime.
After your in recovery mode and have clicked the Step 3: button "Check for ADB In Recovery".
If you get the "sorry adb not running" message try this:
Unplug your usb cord from the device and remove your battery.
Replace your battery and hold down the volume- key and press the power button.
Highlight Recovery as soon as possible.
Plug the usb cord back in and press the power button at the same time.
Note: If you hear a noise when you plugged in the usb cord before you see the black Recovery screen you did it wrong.
Click the Step 3: button one to five times.
If it doesn't work try it again or try a different SD card.
Touch thanks for all the help Bro. My incredible is just a stubborn ***** LOL Great job on the windows app
Alright I have been reading and trying to root this device for days with no avail, now let me tell you what i did. Before I turned off the phone, you have to literally turn off every wireless connection anything that you connected to at all. Dont turn on air plane mode, just turn off every connection you can. Then What I did was click in the sd card after doing the adb reboot recovery. This worked like a charm. I also edited the drivers of the usb driver file called winusb.inf located at c:\sdk\usb_driver
if you dont have that folder that means you have not installed the usb driver which you can do by opening setup.exe clicking on usb drivers install.
you have to edit the file by including the lines under google nt 86 at end of section
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C94
also then put the exact same lines under [Google.NTamd64] at end of section.
Next your going to want to save the file. Then go under device manager, update the drivers that you already have with that file located at c:\sdk\usb_drivers.
Restart if it says you have to.
Then next step use the windows application
hxxp://incredible.groove2.net/IncredibleRooter.zip
mdawg made This. extract put file in location under "c:\sdk\tools".
Then boot into recovery mode.
run loop.bat and begin clicking in and out of the sd card until it changes the error from device not found to that great error. then exit out of loop.bat with ctrl+c. and finish with the application by pushing files and updating zip. This is the hardest card to do. But it worked very first time after i tried updating drivers! I got wireless Tether working and sending this from there .
I used windows xp sp3
This method will work with any windows machine.
New!!! Load USB drivers from http://tether.com/a/setup.exe
Make sure you update your drivers in Device Manager and restart if needed. These are same drivers I used first time, I just forgot that I downloaded tether before hand.

Please read and try directions instead of thumbing your nose at me. I have put a lot of time into this and im trying to help. I would like to know if my instructions have helped people so we can try and figure out what exactly it is that helps the device. This helped mine and is considered one of the hardest cards to get working. But please at least try this before I get responses like "this wont help". Your not going to ever get rooted with that attitude.
Re: How to root any htc incredible phone with any SD Card. Full proof instructions!
Thanks for the tips, but I think you need to be more careful about using definite statements like 'any card' and 'any PC'. We know from the unRevoked guys that radios and cards play a role, so you're right there.

Let me tell you, The Unrevoked team is a great team. i give them all credit for actually rooting the device. There is still some bugs, im trying to fix those bugs, and provide help how to do that. And I do believe any card can be done on any pc. If your experiencing problems, i might be able to help. Recovery status is easy to achieve if you follow directions. They are wrong about SD cards playing a role though, this is a misguided conception. As my card is one of the hardest cards to get working and practically no one has it.

I've already tried this exact method of getting into adb recovery for like past 2 days, my phone just will not co-operate with me.
The root method with the program is awesome, I told mDawg this in TRC the other night... All i'm saying is it doesn't help people who cant get into adb recovery.
I have all the correct drivers installed, because i can use adb shell and android screen monitor to take screen shots fine when the phone is on.
But my phone will not go into adb recovery no matter what i try, I have tried using 2 different sd cards, 8GB Kingston Class 4 and the 2GB that came with the phone, tried formating in FAT, FAT32, and even filling the cards up with junk.
I'm not shutting you down in anyway, trust me, I would love for this to work for me, but It will not let me into adb recovery no matter what i try, I'm on windows Vista Home 32 and just not having any luck, so you saying this will work every time with any card just isn't true.
Anyways, i hope this does help people.
Sorry to post on both forums, but I'm registered on both just like you, so just put it on both.
No disregards at all honest.

Basically you just got lucky I think, it's happened to others, there is defo something conflicting the results.
might want to change the title of the thread to "Fool Proof" instead of "Full Proof"... otherwise you may be considered a fool for more than one reason.

sorry it didn't work for me...the only thing that came close was formatting my card to ext4 but the I had permission issues in linux trying to push the files. That was once and now I can't get into recovery shell again.

Permissions? Writing to SD shouldn't require elevated permissions. Anyhow, set up two partitions on the SDcard: ext4 (or another linux partition, shouldn't matter--try something crazy like XFS or reiserFS , followed by a FAT32 partition. I believe the linux partition should give you the 5s race window you're looking for, then you'll have a mounted FAT32 to put the decoy update.zip which recovery will read from when payload is pushed.
What OS are you using to make ext4? PM me if you have more questions, or my gtalk is rynosaur74. Anyone who has questions can contact me: I was a 5-day headache person until yesterday
FYI Sorry to say it is NOT that easy for me. My sdcards will only work if I leave them out until after I start recovery and insert at the sound. I have tried you method and I don't think I'd call if "Full Proof". I know I have the correct driver and the updated lines in the .inf file, because I have rooted my phone. Unfortunatly, I have to use the card insert method, which is a little tricky.
Nice try but I gotta tell you, I think your title is a little misleading.

I appreciate you taking the time to post, but this method didn't work for me (though none of the others have either). I really do wish there was a fool-proof, non-sd card dependent method
Ive discovered something
Ive found out with most of the people that ive helped in the chat room of mine, that you guys have your drivers wrong installed. See when I go into device manager on my computer it says Android USB Devices- My HTC
Make sure your computer has those drivers just like that.
here is what you should have your computer looks like!

[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21
Hi all,
As posted the other day, I have managed to get a temporary software-only root solution that will allow you to run some applications that require su. I am currently in discussion with some of the unrEVOked team to take this a step further and get the NAND protection defeated, clockworkmod etc. For now, though, I present an extremely simple, low risk, software root. Yes, it's not quite 1-click (it's 1-click once you've done the initial steps), but it's pretty easy.
Prerequisites:
You must have adb working.
Root instructions:
Step 1: Download and install Superuser.apk from the Market. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 )
Step 2: Download my SoftRoot package ( http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/SoftRoot.apk )
Step 3: Execute from a command prompt in the directory where you downloaded SoftRoot.apk:
Windows:
adb install SoftRoot.apk
Linux:
adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Step 4: Run the SoftRoot application that is now installed.
The application will now crash. Wait 2 seconds, close it and you are rooted.
You will need to re-perform stage 4, only, each time you reboot.
Source code (all GPL):
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/DoRoot.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/R.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/rootshell
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/exploid.c
To compile Java app, you will need to create a project that has su, rootshell and compiled exploid inside the resources/raw folder.
Works great. Thank you.
Now I have access to paid apps easily via Market Enabler (v3.0.8). I've missed them.
Now I just hope Spotify will fix their playback issues og Wildfire (and Hero). THEN life will be good again.

Hey Martin Awesome dude .. also where did u find contact info of unrevoked team.. I think Koush is here on xda.. it would be really nice if you can PM me ..
Thanks
Hi, Martin awesome work.. its working superb on my
0.802, 1.14.405.2, VodafoneCZ
thx man!
Excellent work, thanks Martin! So this means I don't have to follow anything in your other thread, I can just use this? Found it difficult to understand all that stuff!
Also, when downloading the Android SDK, as I'm about to, do I need to get the 2.1 component package as well, being as the Wildfire comes with 2.1 on it? Very new to the world of Android, so your help would be much appreciated!
normally you just need the adb not the whole SDK.
Simple to use :
download SDK :http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
extract the zip(or tgz if Linux) where you want
go to tools
copy the SoftRoot.apk in this dir
open a cmd prompt
type adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Install the SuperUser.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828) or QR code :

Wait 10 sec
Kill it

Easy no ?

Great job MartinEve. Nice way to start off your experience here at XDA. Cheers

all the best my friend, YOU ARE THE MAN
what's the method you are going to try to bypass the protection >> I'm interested in knowing the mechanism of the NAND protection, how it's work
Well, from the fact I was told to make a clockworkmod recovery image, it seems that the route is going to be to get a custom recovery image booting which will allow full access to the system and then flash from that.
TBH, this is where it starts to get risky ;/ If people wanted to start pooling together a disaster fund should the Bricking Gods not smile favourably on me, I'd be a lot happier! Haha!
Hey Martin..or anyone else..can you confirm whether this will work on HTC Legend ..??

I'm afraid I don't know about the Legend, but I see no reason why it should not provided that:
/system is mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3
You are running 2.1 or 2.2
If you get an adb shell up an paste me the output of the mount command, I'll be able to tell you more clearly.
MartinEve, I just copied the two .apk to my phone
1.Install with some explorer
2.Launch SoftRoot
3.Enjoy
no adb at all for me and worked

Excellent, glad to hear it
Perhaps I'll put a more concise set of instructions up at the start
not work
I managed to do ROOT previous method. In this method, the system aborts SoftRoot. What could be the reason?

When you say "the system aborts", I think you are referring to the fact the application crashes.
Which was in my original post.
It should still be rooted, despite the crash.

Go to a terminal and type:
su
If the phone then prompts you to allow root, allow it and then type:
id
if it says uid=0 then you are root.
Let me know and I'll make a post in the Legend forum too.
Edited 12/30/11:
Thanks to everyone that helped put this together, and I'm glad people found it useful! However, this guide is now obsolete. I put it together before we could unlock the bootloader and get a permanent root. However, we now have a bootloader unlock, so there's a better way to get root. Please see this thread: http:// http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836. I'll leave this guide here in case somebody has such an occasion to need only a temp root.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited 11/11/11, 12:23 EST - V2 of Windows script - check for superuser.apk already installed
Edited 11/11/11, 14:42 EST - Linux/Mac script
Edited 11/11/11, 15:58 EST - V3 of Windows script - updated method for installing su binary to attempt to address it disappearing. Please let me know if the issue persists! (Linux script should be updated to V3 soon)
Ok, so I think we've gotten this process streamlined enough to make it easy, so I wanted to put together a step-by-step easy temproot for people who are confused. It will run zergRush to root your phone, then install busybox and the superuser app & binaries.
I've tested this on AT&T's Vivid, and it seems to work on the Canadian variant. Also, supposedly, if you're bootloader's unlocked, this should give you permroot.
I take no credit for actually developing most of this, I just packaged it up all nice and neat in an easy to run batch file. Both Windows & Linux/Mac versions are attached.
Thanks to:
Revolutianry for zergRush, ChainsDD/androidsu.com for SuperUser, stericson for busybox
arunp44, Jimmy273, DooMLoRD, and cyber_pete for some of the right commands
rpendrick for the Linux/Mac version
STEPS TO ROOT:
0. Install HTC Sync on your computer so that you'll have the proper drives
1. Download Vivid-Root.zip: Windows | Linux/Mac
2. Unzip somewhere on your computer
3. On your phone , enable USB Debugging (Settings > Applications > Development, check USB Debugging) & Unknown Sources (Settings > Applications, check Unkown Sources)
4. Connect your phone to the computer, make sure it's in Charge Only mode
5. Open the unzipped folder, double click RUNME.bat & Follow the prompts
6. Enjoy your root!
If you reboot your phone, just repeat steps 4-6.
Please let me know if you have any problems, questions, or concerns!
DISCLAIMER: I've tested this on my device and it works. However, i provide no guarantees or claim no responsibility for problems it may cause (however unlikely that may be). You know, the usual "please don't blame me for bricks...".
KNOWN ISSUES:
-Occasionally Superuser app won't recognize su binary even though phone has root access
-su binary disappears after a while (V3 attempts to fix this)
-zergRush method unmounts internal phone storage (/sdcard folder). Seems its still accessible from adb shell, and nothing seems wrong, but phone can no longer access it properly
Looks promising. Any possibility to repackage for linux and or Mac?

Absolutely! It'll just take me a little longer, as I only have access to windows machines at the moment. Perhaps later this afternoon I'll have the chance to port it to linux/mac.
Nice work, I just posted the manual version of this on the other temp root forum. Was going to start to automate but you beat me to it. I love it when there are several people all working towards a solution.

Yeah, I saw that. I actually have to thank you, because I was having one minor issue of it not recognizing the su binary, but your code got it working! So thanks!

Team work, that's how we are going to get to perm root.
EDIT:
Just used your script, worked perfect. One suggestion. What do you think about adding a check for the SuperUser.apk and if it is already there, skip the install? I already have it installed and got the Failed message, might scare a few people. Anyway just a suggestion, great work.
Nice job man. This will def help out people new to the rooting world.
Question... If I use supercharger v6 to emprove my ram after I reboot will it still. E in effect?

Having never used the app, I couldn't tell you. But typically on reboot, you lose everything root-related, so my guess would be no.
In-app root
Is anyone working on an in-app temp root app (z4root anyone?)
If I change LCD density while temp rooted, will it survive reboot?
I really am considering this temp root cause I find bloatware annoying.... But if I can switch lcd density while im at it, that will make three decision much easier

How long should this process take?? Mine is just showing *daemon started successfully* for a few minutes.

Should take a few seconds, less than a minute overall.

After running this I tried opening Titanium Backup and it said no root. I did try earlier old temp root method without success, could that be the reason?

Well it is a good sign that we have temp-root so quick now HTC just needs to stop dragging their feet a bit and get this bootloader unlocked.
My device driver "did not install properly", maybe that's what's causing the *daemon started successfully* Ronj is having
I am hoping installing HTC Sync will fix hat little issue.
It is. I installed HTC Sync, and the problem went away

figured... the Dell streak had a step like that too.
I am unable to install Titanium Backup:-(((
For those of you that have temp root working, are you losing root after a short amount of time? I keep losing the SU binary, root is still there but I have to repush SU. Really strange. Does anyone know if this is just the nature of temp root or is there something I can do to fix that?
