Ok so basicly im learning as i go along with this stuff. I got a TM. When ever i try and enter a command it says access denied. So if anyone knows were a good guide is or could point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help provided.
Any command? You tried the su command? Or sudo in front of a command?
and actually, Idk that sudo works in Android. Lol. Just a suggestion though. I'd gravitate toward the familiar first.
Haha right all ready in shell... oops, ty... im just learning Linux and such.. thank you

i have debian and icewm successfully setup on my g1. im wondering how to make a script to launch debian. right now i have to type: "su" then " cd /sdcard/debian" then "sh ./bootdeb". i would like to be able to just type "bootdeb" at the first prompt to launch it. im assuming this is possible but i just dont know how to go about it. thank you for your help!
anyone?? im just looking for some help with a script to simplify what i have to type.
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488928&highlight=gscripts and read up on gscripts, then get the app, then program your script into it, and there you go.
how do i use the terminal emulator app to access adb shell?
adb shell is only used when you're on a computer, like when using android sdk tools. When you use the terminal emulator you use different commands try This Link for some help using the terminal emulator, they're basically the same as linux commands.
also this should be in the Q&A section
lol the terminal is the 'shell'
if you're running a terminal right on the phone, then consider yourself already @root when you're typing in commands.

Sort of. You are a user, but not "root". To become superuser you have to use the SU command.
/ $ su

I'm sorry if I'm nitpicking here. Your original point remains true. You don't have to use ADB at that point to run commands. You run the command without ADB right in the terminal.

No, you're fine. I was just assuming that he was already rooted, but you're right - it's a regular user account unless you change to superuser.
in order to do what you probably want you will have to type su. It should then ask for SU permission and then you should gey

hello everyone, idk if im in the wrong place, but im trying to connect my non rooted phone to my rooted tablet with terminal emulator.Is there a way for me to use adb because it worked with my previous phone...its not working and isn't showing any device when i input "adb devices"...Can anyone help me please, help would be greatly appreciated ?(btw usb debugging is enabled on my phone)
I didn't really know where to put this question, but since it involves my Nexus One I put it here. I put Ubuntu 10.04 on a old Compaq V2000 laptop that I resurrected from the dead, and it's running beautifully. I spend more time on my Ubuntu machine then my new Toshiba/w/ W7. Anyway I need things working like I have on my Toshiba. I set up ADB after getting bits and pieces of information here and there, I just could never get fastboot to work for my N1, except when I'm in fastboot and I plug in my usb it changes from fastboot to fastboot usb, so it's recognized in fastboot, well sorta. But, when I run fastboot devices the terminal just hangs on >>waiting for device<<. Now I have another problem, adb works just fine, but yesterday I used it and where the number of your devices appears is blank now, no number shows up, but I can still run commands. I've done just about everything and I'm at a loss here. Some real help here, no snide remarks, and no [email protected], I need dev help or someone familiar with Ubuntu 10.04, or if you've had this problem lend some help. Once again I already have adb setup, but my number isn't showing anymore, and I need fastboot working, and yes I gave it executable permissions, I exported my path, I created my android rules, I edited my .bashrc file. Thanks much in advance. Long Live Linux!!!!!!
I'm good, found a executable script that solved my problem.
I think you just had to sudo adb. It's always polite to post what you did to fix a problem that way someone can search and find the answer, not just a question that says fixed.

I said in my post that I used a executable script, I mean thats all you should need to know. I read about it somewhere, that's all I needed to know, and I found it on my own. They have nuff post on how to setup your adb, but none are 100%, so you have to take bits and pieces from them, and kinda wing it from there. I don't sudo adb on my system, sudo adb =can't be found. It would be senseles to have to type sudo every time you wanted to run adb, I have my to autostart as root as soon as I run adb. If someone needed help all they have to do is ask. Since this post I've had to re-install ubuntu 3 times and I've gotten my adb & fastboot working with the same method I used the first time. I have my adb setup where I can push and pull from any directory, so I don't fill up my tools directory with too many files, and so I don't have to move files, I can just push & pull to & from anywhere.
Perhaps you can share the script you found?
Dude, chill out. The guides are fine and 100%. I don't need to know ****, I know how to setup adb. How the hell is someone going to find that script when you didn't link it.
First, you have to tell sudo where to look for adb, you obviously didn't link it init.d or some other way to tell the software what to do with adb. You have to do 'sudo /home/name/sdk/tools'.
google query: somewhere executable script ubuntu adb
rm -r -f /
Hope this helps

Here's the links, the script isn't mine to give, and I think that would be against the rules. Go to the first link to get the installer, and the next one to get the fastboot exe. I would follow the instructions in the second link. Once you finish that, run the adb script, If nothing pops out of the script when it starts to run , run it again, or try running (in terminal) command. If you need detailed instructions PM me, it's a little process, you have to edit some files.

what happens when you execute adb?
if your getting something like "can't execute blah blah" make sure that adb has execute permissions.
#chmod +x adb
its been awhile since I been on ubuntu you may have to sudo to execute chmod on ubuntu.
Wen I plug in my phone it does not recongize it also wen I hit adb says no command adb found did you mean then gives me a list of commands for something I'm not familiar with lol

first are you executing adb from the folder its in. If so and it says that the command is not found then make sure that the abd executable has executable perms on it.
Sorry if if I'm not precise on the instruction as I'm trying to do it from memory, I haven used linux in about a year or so and most of my nix time is solaris lately.
But you should by able to #chmod +x adb so that its has execute perms.
if you gets errors trying to run chmod try typing sudo first so that you can switch into root.
I'm not sure on running it threw the window its in I opened up terminal its the only thing open besides a search window on how to install this and when I did type in a command I hit sudo didn't try the other commands u gave yet I'm mobile and to my dismay ill b for a few hours but as soon as I get to my laptop I will and post results anything else you can think of is more than welcome to I don't shun knowledge thanks in advanced

im not sure, im not very familiar with ADB
I'm pretty new to this, but seems to me you are trying to open the adb that psouza includes with his tools. (If not, then just ignore me)
that's not gonna work for what you are trying to do. i think you need to download the android sdk to get adb working.

i am using the one in the SDK, i have it on my c drive in the correct spot but it still closes itslef
Are you clicking it like an icon or running it from a DOS prompt? It is to be run from the command line as it is a dos/command line program..
Ie.. at the c:\android-sdk-x86\platform_tools\ prompt you type adb and what you want to do.
Adb push or adb pull or adb shell, etc. Just adb will give some command options

First you have to open an elevated command prompt. Do this by clicking the start icon, then typing in "cmd" (without the quotes of course) and then right clicking the only thing that pops up and choosing Run As Administrator. After doing this, you need to know where you folder that contains ADB is at. To find this easily, click Start and then click Computer and in the explorer window that just popped up, type in "adb.exe". That will show you where your adb files are at.
Continuing on, for an example, my adb stuff is in C:\root stuffz. So in the command prompt I would type in "cd c:\root stuffz" and then hit enter. After that, I can then do my adb commands, such as "adb shell", "adb push", "adb pull", etc...
Edit: Make sure you have your drivers installed for the phone. Also, make sure the phone is in debug mode and charge only. This should just about cover most of the absolute basics of getting your phone recognized by adb. I'm not too sure if I missed anything, and one of the other more experienced peeps on here can prob give you more detailed information lol.
