Have you ever had ADB setup?
Yeah and it worked like a charm before I always uninstall apps via adb mouting also works.
I'm at an dead end

Is your drivers still installed? I know at one time windows reverted back the old drivers on mine and had to change it.

Yeah, so the problem I see with your screenshot is that you are already in an ADB shell trying to enter ADB shell commands.
Without further complicating matters, this is what you should do.
Close out everything.
Start - Run - CMD
cd\"your sdk folder"
DO NOT ENTER ADB SHELL
now enter your other commands as you were trying. such as:
adb pull /system/sd/app/example.apk c:\app
THANKS !!! YOU ARE THE MAN
worked like a charm, you know I've never foud anywhere that you need to do that without going in the shell.
Or I just missed it in that case sorry.
So, I followed the guide we all did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
And before someone asks: I have deleted the Backup app (IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk) we had to install during rooting after the phone was rooted.
The phone then happily ran, rooted. SUpersu was installed/updated, the phones root check said it's all perfect, I was a happy camper. But today I had to reboot it. I can't say if it was the first reboot after rooting, sadly. The phone boots up, arrives at the lockscreen (some colorful defaultthing, before I get to see my GO Locker screen after login), and then stops being responsive, it basically at first feels like it's not reacting at all. Some things are responsive, strngely ... I get accurate sounds when touching the screen for instance. If I then wait, I eventually get to the SIM Unlock ... which is also totally unresponsive, it will maybe show two digits, then freezes up. Strangely, I could type the remaining digits and hit OK and the SIM would unlock ... but the screen no longer showed what I typed. I then arrive at GO locker, can unlock it (sluggish and slow again) and finally am properly logged in, but still totally sluggish and slow. Needles to say it's a pseudobrick that way, unusable.
What's going on and what could I check?
Please try the following:

REALLY SLOW AFTER ROOT?
Remove the "SystemBackupTest" app, if you haven't already.
On your phone, go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb reboot" and press enter.

Thanks, that fixed it! It's not easy to do, as the scrolling lists do not work, either, and you can't seem to get to the developer options, it won't scroll. Strangely enough "internally" it seems to do things ... if you re-enter the options, they're down to the end of the list, it looks like it doesn't update the screen properly (much like when I had to enter the SIM code).
Anyway, it's fast again, whew ... I was scared. What is the local.prop thing, if I may ask?

I'm not entirely sure, I just know it gives us temp root for the rest of the root script to run.
Hm, so its' not a systemwide ini file or so, that existed before ... it was created during the above rooting process and was an undesired leftover from it? I'm always a bit worried if I delete something with such an unspecific name in the OS

Its actually created by the SystemBackupTest app.
The script then removes it just before issuing a reboot.
The only way it can come back, is if you accidently open that app again before uninstalling it.

It looks like you have either plugged in more than one android device, or you have an android emulator (from the SDK I guess) running. Unplug all USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then try again. Good luck!
If you have an emulator running try "adb -d shell rm /data/local.prop"
Edit: To see all adb-devices type "adb devices". This will return a list of all adb-devices connected (emulators + usb devices)

THX for your help!
As you can see the same device is listed two times. Restarting the adb server may help. Just type "adb kill-server" and than launch the second command from your screenshot. Maybe this works.

The devices is detected and the command is executed, but the file does not exist. Make sure that there is a file "prop.local" at /data. If not, you may have a different problem.
Maybe you have an emulator running or Bluestacks installed... Uninstall Bluestacks...
I don't think that this is the case as the device shows up with a serial number in the "adb devices" list.
To be sure it is the correct phone you could compare the serial number shown in the list with the serial number of your phone (you might find this information in settings -> about phone).

An emulator is a program which emulates Android so you can execute Android-Apps on your PC. BlueStacks is an emulator. It may show up as an adb devices, but this is not the case here.
Back to your problem: Are you sure the rooting process worked?
Did you reboot your phone after rooting?
I didn't root my phone under ICS so I don't have any experience with this
no one raised this question to confirm or did this info was provided anywhere
What version of ROM? ICS V10x? JB V20x? User could had used the wrong guide.
Best way out is to do a reflash and retry rooting if all fails.

Ok so on my HTC One I loaded TWRP recovery and had a rom installed. I wanted to wipe it out and reinstall a newer version of the rom, and in the process I thought I had a "virtual SD" that wouldn't be wiped out. Boy was I wrong. Now I can get into TWRP and I am reading about "adb sideload" to load a rom zip file to the phone.
I have Windows 8 and I used the trick of installing Windows 7 drivers, but now for some reason the computer shows "Android Device" with an exclamation point. I google'd and found a Windows 8 HTC driver, and now the device shows up "Android USB Devices - MyHTC". So it appears I have drivers installed.
Now I read tutorials and have been searching for hours and I cannot get this to work. I have the ADB Fastboot folder on my desktop and the rom I want to load in that folder. I bring up the command prompt and type in "adb devices". It returns with this:
List of devices attached
FA34PS904380 host
I type in (without quotes) "adb sideload rom.zip" which is in the same directory. It returns with all the possible commands (like a help menu) of how you can use adb.
I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hey, all. So, I just got a Moto X through AT&T, and I'm looking to root it. It came with the 4.4 update already on it, so I've been trying to follow the appropriate guides from jcase, but I'm running into an error very early on. After I download the ADT bundle and get adb installed and have it up and running, I was at first finding that my device wasn't showing up when I did the command "adb devices". I fixed this by getting the drivers from motorola with their device manager download, but...
Now I'm getting it showing up as an unauthorized device. I have USB debugging enabled, to start. I never received an authorization option when plugging my phone into my computer. I have it set to PTP, not MTP. I've tried toggling the USB debugging off and on multiple times, I've tried the revoke usb debugging authorization multiple times, and I've gone through and deleted the .android folder in C->Users->me. Since I don't have root, I can't go through and delete any sort of folder in my phone involving adb, because I saw that a lot as I've been doing google searches on how to try and fix this before posting here. One of my attempts when deleting .android involved me unplugging my Moto X, deleting the .android folder, running adb kill-server and then adb start-server commands, and rebooting my Moto X before plugging it back in. I still have never received an option to authorize my device.
I am running on Windows 8.1, if that makes any difference. I checked my adb version using the command, and it shows me running adb version 1.0.31. I am rather new to playing around with phones and whatnot, and all of the things I have tried were things that I found through google searches that pointed me to threads here at XDA. I'm willing to try pretty much anything, and I will report back and give further information if needed.
Thanks in advance, all

i also use mine on MTP but im running win7
issue def sounds like you did not allow the connection. have you tried uninstalling the drivers in device manager for the phone restarting and letting windows reinstall them and see if you can get the toast on your phone and accept it.
if that fails i would try competley reinstalling everything or trying another computer, another cable, another port.

I tried PTP because people were saying that they were having better luck with phones in PTP, not MTP. I haven't tried uninstalling the drivers yet, which might be the issue. I tried initially just plugging my phone in before I downloaded the Motorola Device Manager program, so I'll try going through and uninstalling the drivers, and the MDM program, and then reinstalling (when I get home from work).
I'll try another port, and I can also try another computer, so I'll also do that when I get home. Thanks for your response, and I'm really hoping this works :good:

i looked threw a couple threads of people having this issue. this is the order i would troubleshoot myself one other thing i have read is something about unsigned drivers which i dont think you should be having any issues with it but if you ever see a window that states about unsigned drivers reboot your PC while tapping F8 and tap the down arrow till you highlight Disable driver signature required i think is what it says and see if that helps
1. drivers only(make sure you restart after you remove the drivers and make sure you check the box for delete drivers)
2. different port
3. different cable
4. complete reinstall of adb and everything.( also restart after you uninstall everything.)
5. different computer (or use virtual PC if you don't have another PC)

So, I've done everything in this list, and also added trying forums.motorola.com/posts/caa12135bd?commentId=725256#725256 out. I'm pretty much out of ideas, because everything I've searched showed pretty much everything you've suggested (and that I tried!) as suggestions
I appreciate the help, but so far (at this rate), I think I might just not have to root. This is super frustrating to me!
EDIT: Actually, I think I finally have something here! After hooking it up to another computer, installing the adk and everything, making sure all the drivers showed up as installed correctly and getting nothing I pretty much resided to giving up. I, for whatever reason, decided to try and run adb. After I did, and ran the start-server command, it gave me the window to accept my laptop's fingerprint! Finally on to follow the rest of the guides!
Thanks!!!
Second edit: So, proceeding to step 3 or so in RockMyMoto, I'm encountering another issue. When running Impactor and trying to run telnet on port 2222 or whatever that is, I get an error that says Signature Bugs unavailable. If I'm understanding correctly, I have to do everything in this guide to downgrade to 4.2.2 or whatever the version with the camera update is, because there isn't a root available for 4.4 without downgrading. But now I'm seeing that I somehow need to downgrade from 4.4 to the previous version in order to get Impactor/telnet working correctly?
I'm super lost now :C
well in order to root 4.4 you have to downgrade to 4.2.2 camera update. if your not sure on how to do it here is a link to a video on how to do it

I've hit a few snags, but so far I've figured everything out. I'm working on doing SlapMyMoto right now, which is the last step for root and to be on 4.4, yeah?

I still have access from motowpnomo, I checked using the write_protect command, and it is still showing a "0" I don't know what to do at this point, though.
USB Debugging is on, adb devices shows my phone as being connected correctly

everything looks fine bro just finish the last command and then run root checker you should be fine.
i know when i ran mine nothing happened also, after the last command wait a few mins if nothing happens toggle Bluetooth like is says and if it does not restart then restart the phone and you should be good if not we will figure it out
i might downgrade just to run back threw it to see if i can figure it out and maybe put together a package for you that i know works. but i am on the sprint X

Alright, I tossed the adb stuff on my flash drive, and I'm going to see if I can try this at work. I'll report back. You are going above and beyond to help me out, and it's just amazing. After my last community being the League of Legends community, I'm not used to this! :highfive:

Running each of the commands works, until the last one. I get "can't create /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: Permission denied" error message
EDIT: I got it! Yeah!! :highfive: I found someone suggesting to take the phone back to 4.2.2 with this error message and redo SMM, and it stuck! Downloaded root checker, and I got a congrats result! Thanks so much, mate! You've been such a huge help; I was going to give up the first night before I even decided to post here!
I'm glad to hear you got it rooted finally if you have any other questions or need any ideas on what to do please feel free to pm me anytime

i've got one for you... running windows 7, 32 bit. Eset AV-disabled.. have 4.2.2 rooted, but can't get moto-wp-nomo to successfully run...any ideas?
Hi all
So I'm doing step 1 of this guide but I seem to be having problems..
I did install the ADB drivers on my comp, installed SDK, and set the directories in PATH. ADB is turned on in the Kindle. But when I try to do the backup commands, I get a "remote object xxxxxxxxxxx does not exist"
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I appreciate your help!
Any ideas?
I think you're on the wrong partition...

What do you mean? Sorry, I'm total noob with adb in general (and I just got the Kindle like a couple weeks ago )
I should add that when I do the first command the Kindle responds to it (as in the screen turns on when I send the command). Don't know if that helps you.
You need to pull from the correct directory. I think that's your only problem.
Thanks for your response.
How do I pull from the right directory? I'm using the code from the thread that's apparently supposed to work for everyone, don't know what's going wrong on my end :s
Are you rooted? Did you allow adb on the Kindle? Are you running as administrator in windows?

Yeah I'm rooted (I have root access on the phone but no superuser app ever popped up when I rooted), adb is on in the Kindle, and I am running cmd as admin. :s

You can't run cmd as an Admin. You have to actually be using the Admin profile on your PC.
I'm on the admin account on my computer as well. Typing "adb devices" shows the device on the list, I don't understand why the backup code doesn't work.

The code works. It's just not finding your boot img.
Does your kindle boot normally?
Yep, I haven't installed the second bootloader yet because I wanted to backup the device first.
BTW, for what it's worth, the error happens with all 4 items the code is meant to backup; the system, recovery, bootloader and bootblock.
It sounds like adb is not enabled, though you said it is. Have you tried a factory reset?
Decided to give it another go this morning, and I feel so silly...
The adb shell was asking for root access this entire time, I never saw it until now though...
Thanks for all your help and sorry for makin you run around in circles. :s
