Need adb setup help - Nook Color General

I am trying to get adb setup so I can root my NC and install some apps. The problem i'm having is I don't think I can get the proper drivers to install. I am following these steps ADB SETUP but when I get to step 3
My computer doesn't see "Android Composite ADB Device". It sees "Android adb interface". When I go to step 4
IV. Verify that everything worked
Start > Run > cmd > Enter
cd\
cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb kill-server
adb devices
If you get output that looks like the following you have succeeded:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
[YOUR NOOKCOLOR SN] device
If you did not succeed, identify each nook entry in device manager (each device with a Hardware ID of USB\VID_2080&..., right click and uninstall it. There may be several. Uninstall all of them. Unplug the nookColor, replug it, and restart from Section III.
Further debugging: If you have an Android ADB composit interface and you still do not get your serial number listed, please repeat section 2, step 2, then verify that the file \users\yourname\.android\adb_usb.ini is exactly six characters long, and contains exactly 0x2080
I don't get my device listed. What have I done wrong?
Also when I uninstall all the drivers to start over if I connect the NC and look under device manager "NOOK" pops up for just a min then goes away and then its listed "under universal serial bus controllers"
I may have just figured it out. Do I have to do the whole sdcard boot thing before I can enable adb?

Uninstall the "android adb interface" then plug your nook to a USB port that is on the back of your computer, not from the front panel.

I hadn't done the root process before trying to setup adb but I got it now. Thanks for the help

Problems with ADB install..

Hello all,
I have been following the guide posted by Nephron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 but am having a few problems with my computer recognising my G1 as an ADB device...
My computer's OS is Vista. I have followed the guide to the letter, have downloaded the SDK and unzipped it to C:\ root. I have checked my phone and ensured that 'USB Debugging' is checked. My computer doesn't try to install the Android 1.0 driver (as the original drivers are already installed) and my device is ready to use as a storage device - HOWEVER it is not acknowledging it is an ADB device.
I have tried using USBDeview but it won't let me uninstall the 3 already installed Android drivers. I have even tried manually uninstalling them through the taskbar USB device manager. Even when I uninstall them and re-connect my phone, it automatically installs the standard drivers and doesn't give me an option to select the SDK drivers.
Hope that makes sense to someone. How can I install these damn SDK/ADB drivers on my G1?! Thanks.
Try this...
Remove every mass storage device except your phone (Any usb memory sticks, external HDD's, other phones, etc)
Open the start menu, right click on 'Computer', click 'Manage', and you may need to click continue here.
On the next page, click on 'Device Manager' on the left hand side. In the list on the right, open up the tree for 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'
Find 'USB Mass Storage device' in the list. Right click it, click 'Uninstall'
Click 'Action' at the top, then 'Scan for hardware changes'.
If it all goes well, you should now be asked to locate a driver, point the the Android USB driver. Good luck.
PS, this is all from memory of the issues I had, so if you get stuck, post back .
Worked a charm, thanks!
(Mods...can this be merged to the NEWBIE Q&A thread for ADB/Fastboot etc...more useful place for it than here!)
Glad I could help .
OK...
New problem...
I am using command prompt on vista, entered the following:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools
adb devices (shows my device listed as HT845KV02724)
adb shell (shows a # on the following line)
However....when I enter adb it returns with /sbin/sh: adb: not found .....what have I done wrong? I have checked that the SDK is in C:\ and have downloaded the SDK again just to be sure. What do I need to change???
Once you type adb shell, you're in a terminal on your phone, you can type shell commands there, you need to type exit before typing adb again.
Basically, it's working as intended .

[Q] ADB drivers?

I installed the usb drivers for my nook as per the instuctions in this guide: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB#Windows_XP.2C_Vista_and_7
It seems to have worked and in device manager "ANdroid composite ADB device" shows up under Android Phone.
But when i type adb devices when my nook is plugged in, i still dont get and devices there.
Im running 64 bit Windows 7 on an Intel Core i7 machine.
I couldn't get the ADB drivers to work via those instructions either. Luckily we have people around here that are MUCH smarter than I am.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008&highlight=adb+driver+install
Follow the instructions and install the software from that thread, worked for me great.
I am having the same problem here. It seems like everything is installing fine. I deleted the old usb mass storage device, installed everything, but then when I try to do adb devices, I get a blank line. No serial number. I then tried adb wireless, I connected using adb connect 192.168.2.4 and it said connect it was connected. I then ran adb devices and it spit back that it was connected to that ip address but it still doesn't give me a serial number.
This is what I get:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
Sorry for the multiple posts.
Here is what I get if I try to connect using adbwireless:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.2.4:5555
already connected to 192.168.2.4:5555
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.2.4:5555 device
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
EDIT: HALLELUJAH!!
I fixed it. Actually I didn't fix it, I just followed some instructions from another user that was having the same problem and finally figured out the very weird thing that installing the drivers did. Anyway, here is the solution from hacku:

I followed your instructions to a T and I still can't get ADB to see my NC. After uninstalling all instances of Nook in my device manager, unplugging it and plugging it back in, it adds all the same devices:
Under Disk Drives it lists B&N Ebook Disk USB Device (twice)
Under Portable Devices it lists MyNookColor
Under USB Controllers it lists USB Mass Storage Device
My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Running Nook Color 1.1.0 rooted and overclocked to 1.1Ghz. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2:
So I decided to pull the MicroSD card to simplify things. Uninstalled all instances of Nook from Device Manager and scanned for new hardware. This time I noticed that Windows detected it as a Nook, but then would install the drivers and it would show the same USB Mass Storage Device and the two instances of B&N Disk USB Device. I also noticed that by uninstalling the driver of the USB Mass Storage Device automatically deleted the other two instances under Disk Drives. So I updated the USB Mass Storage Device driver and this time I was able to install the drivers provided, but now it only shows up as an Android Phone > Android ADB Interface (not Composite), but I'm still not able to see it under adb devices.
Help?
EDIT 3:
GOT IT WORKING!!!
For those of you having this same problem this is what I did:
1. Right Click Android ADB Interface (it won't say Composite)
2. Select Update Update Driver Software
3. Click on Browse My Computer For Driver Software
4. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
5. In the box that pops up click on USB Composite Device
6. Click Next
It now installed the USB Composite Device driver and changes your Android Phone to Android Composite ADB Device.
Open up Command Prompt and type adb kill-server then adb devices and your Nook Color will now show up.
Hope this helps some of you out.

Double check your path...
"Now type cd\AndroidSDK\tools\"
My path is c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\
I've renamed the file to AndroidSDK & placed it directly in C:/ so for me it's C:/ AndroidSDK/tools/
doesn't work...
-I plug the phone in and it's recognized as "Android ADB Interface" in device manager
-I open easy tether on the phone then right click on the pc & click connect then it says connection established via Android ADB.....
-I open CMD
-I type cd\
-then cd\AndroidSDK\tools\
-then adb devices & this is where I want to break everything because I can never get past this part and all I see is 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command.......
I hate this phone lol & wish I had the money to get the evo so I can put this thing in the trash, I just want to setup firerat's and that's the main reason why I want to establish ADB, is there any way it can be done without ADB????
thanks for trying to help, I hope someone can still figure this out for me
If you downloaded the newest SDK, then the problem might be that you are looking for adb in the wrong directory. It is no longer located in \tools. It was moved to the \platform-tools directory
Sent from my HERO CDMA using xda premium
In the morning I'll give a more detailed instructions, but you need to add the platform-tools folder to your PATH.

I have just added this exact directory to the end of my PATH
;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
rebooted, opened cmd, typed adb devices and still I get ADB is not a recognized command.
I went to HTC's site & downloaded the latest hero sync software (new version just came out 2 days ago) when I plugged my phone in it re-installed the drivers, tried it again and nothing!!
I did notice that after the HTC Sync installation in device manager the phone is no longer Android ADB Device, now it says MY HTC, did Sync ruin my ADB drivers?
Ok. So were you at with this???
Shoot me a pm if you still need assistance.
Edit: From reading your post I think your not changing the directory first.
So open up the cmd window. And type cd\ "then hit enter"
Thenn type.
cd\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
And hit enter.
Then type. "adb devices" without the quotes. And see if that will show your serial number.
If that yeilds no results then try
cd\android\SDK\tools\
And hit enter.
Then type "adb devices" without the quotes. And hit enter and see if that will return your serial number.

Thanks guys for all the help you have provided, I have finally figured it out using this guide;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
slightly different than the first guide I followed, instead of editing the PATH a new Environment Variable was created also a slightly different CMD code to get to ADB;
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
I hope this helps anyone else who might have the same issue.

Device Offline Error on HTC One

Okay, I am trying to run the firewater script in order to get S-OFF. But I have run into the "device offline" error when I try to connect my Mac to my HTC One. I understand from reading why I am getting the error, and that it is due to a new "feature" of Android 4.2.2+ which gives us secure usb debugging.
Here is the rub, though: When you connect a 4.2.2 (and above) android device to your machine (with USB debugging enabled) for the first time, you should be prompted with a confirmation message to allow or disallow USB debugging. This message will display your computers unique RSA key fingerprint and provide you a checkbox to “Always allow from this computer”. Check this box and select ‘OK’. Your device should no longer be listed as ‘offline’.
But that is not what is happening! Whatever manages the authorization questions thought that this computer was still trusted and did not ask for a new authorization. The trick, according to this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4159439] would seem to be to remove the
adb key from the device, so as to trigger the confirmation window to allow USB debugging. But I can not find the location of this file on my HTC One, so I have no way to remove it.
Please tell me where this file is located if you know it. I have ES File Explorer installed on my rooted HTC One, Dev. Edition, running Android 4.4.2. but that path nets me an empty folder.
Thank you for any and all assistance that you provide.
SOLUTION FOUND! - See my reply below.
Okay, typed into terminal:
cd Android/HTCOneRoot
./adb-mac version (This command gives the version of ADB that the Mac is using.)
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29 (Terminal returns this answer; ADB needs to be at least version 10.3.1 to properly work and fix the "device offline" error.)
Here are the steps I then followed to fix problem:
1. I unplugged my HTC One from the computer.
2. Downloaded and installed Android Studio from the Android Developers’ site into my Applications folder
3 Updated my Platform Tools, as follows:
Control-clicked on the Android Studio Application and selected “Show Package Contents” from the pulldown menu.
Followed this path to the platform tools: Android Studio/sdk folder/platform-tools folder/adb & fastboot
Option copied both adb and fastboot from platform tools to my user directory ~/Android/HTCOneRoot.
Closed Android Studio
4. Restarted the computer.
5. Launched Terminal and typed cd Android/HTCOneRoot( my user directory where my adb and fastboot are stored)
6. Typed into my terminal the command, “./adb version”
Following this command prompt, Terminal responded with “Android Debug Bridge version 1.0..3.1. (Yes!!)
7. Typed into Terminal, ./adb devices
My device did not show up right away!
8. So, I unplugged my device. Shut down my Mac and restarted it.
9. Relaunched Terminal and typed cd Android/HTCOneRoot
10. Typed ./adb kill-server
11. Then typed, .adb start-server
Terminal responded with: daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
daemon started successfully *
12. Plugged in device again, and the device dialog about RSA appeared. (Whew!)
13. Clicked “OK” on the dialogue box.
14. Now typed ./adb devices and my device's serial number shows up, followed by the word "device" (not "device offline")
14 All done! No more device offline errors.
Hey all,
Has anyone a guide on how to update ADB version for Windows?
I am using unrooted HTC One (UK) on v 4.3

download and extract to a folder of your choice, that's all.
let me also add that post the described method - ./adb devices command came up with the device and serial, but unauthorized.
With the phone connected via usb I went to Dev. Options, unchecked USB Debugging then rechecked it, instantly the confirmation dialog box came up regarding the RSA Key for my laptop. Check the box so it remembers your computer and hit save.
I was having the exact issue described by OP and simply by getting the newest version of ADB and unchecking and rechecking debugging I got the authorization. Thanks all who offered suggested and posted links to files.
and this helped as well

Kindle Fire 7 7th Gen Unauthorized

Hello everyone
I was wondering if someone can help me. I've been trying for a week to get my device recognized by the my Windows 10 PC, but it keeps coming up as unauthorized. I've seen all the posts:

Sorry for all the links, just trying to prevent people saying i haven't tried everything. Even going to a new computer where i never plugged in the Fire 7 in said it was unauthorized. Here is the errors i get (i ran this in the folder itself using powershell and cmd as admin)
D:\Fire 7\3rd attempt\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
I'm at a loss, i know it works sicne i've seen a bunch of people do it online, but for some reason i can't do it. Please help! Anything would be helpful! Thank you in advance!
Did you find a workarround? I'm stuck in the same place as you. Tried everything you mention and fail...

i had this on ubuntu from a command line, but abdlink said authorized (but nothing would install). I went to windows10 and i get the prompt on the tablet and no issues. I don't know if the ubuntu adb drivers don't work right or what. It seems to work fine in ADB on windows...
I have had to turn off adb usb on the fire before and remove authorizations to get it to prompt for adb.
I fixed it in Ubuntu by changing it to media device instead of charging only.
Edit - worked one time, then back to unauthorized....
next edit -
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb devices
that prompted the authorization for me
