Stuck on rooting

I was following this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...eam_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Rooting_the_phone
Everything worked out okay until I got to the section about rooting. Because I live in Hawaii, I have no 3G network and must sign in to my Google account through WiFi. That's when I got linked to this guide:
http://modmygphone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=51891&postcount=12|
...and everything went downwards from there. I could not understand what this guide was talking about. There were downloads sending me to links. There were links sending me to downloads. I wound up visiting dozens of external links and downloading dozens of .zip files with no clue whatsoever as to where to put them. I still have no idea what this guid is talking about.
Can anybody help me get past the Google sign in screen so I can continue with the CyanogenMod guide?

You don't need 3G to sign in, Edge or even GPRS is just fine. Do you really need to activate by Wi-Fi?
Did you set-up ADB? This is crucial, you 100% need it.
The guide you linked to is one the most comprehensive that've seen up-to date. To use that guide, you do NOT need to download anything, everything is done by typing in few commands on your phone and then on your computer.
To me, it sounds like you have problems setting up your ADB and there are good guides for that as well, even the one in the linked thread is pretty good.
Basically, to set up your ADB you need to
Download ADB first.
Install Drivers
Point your computer to ADB (Path variable)
Connect your phone and hack away.
Follow only one guide.. do not wander off and download all kinds of zip files.

I think I got to that step somewhere in that second guide I linked to. I clicked on "Windows USB driver" assuming it was just one file, but instead it sent me to this page:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
I decided to read that page and download the SDK file here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I think this is exactly where I left off because this was where I started getting confused. I did not know how to install the program or where to install it in (Windows 7 64-bit). I'm also having a hard time getting my computer to recognize my SD card/phone (it charges, but it won't recognize it as an external drive anymore).

[HELP]cmd adb error msg...

I already have my pc setup with adb. It appears to be working just fine. I'm trying to setup adb on my laptop and is running into all types of problems. I've downloaded the sdk and ran the sdk setup.exe and downloaded all the latest files, and of course the usb driver. I was able to successfully install the driver and was able to connect my G1 for file transfer. I've followed the guide info to the letter but for some strange reason I get the following:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
I've already tried uninstalling the newest driver and installing the working one from my pc, then I tried downloading a driver that was listed by a user in this thread. Still no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

3) ...shouldn't have to install linux. My pc (running windows abviously) works just fine. My laptop, running windows, should work the same.

I really wouldn't except this behavior from you, but I see we all fall from grace every now and again. I've posted in that thread already, no one can seem to come up with an intelligent response. I followed all the instructions in both adb help threads for proper installation on my laptop. If you don't know the answer to what I'm seeking, I would honestly prefer you not to reply at all. Don't assume I'm the typical xda idiot, assume I'm the most intelligent person you've ever spoke to, then go from there with your next reply.

you didn't really give any useful information in your post(s)

Everyone, Chill it.
We don't need a flame war.
Check your firewall. Make sure it's not blocking the connection. Also, are you using the same USB cord on both machines?

Thank you for trying to "actually" assist me. I am using the exact same usb cable on purpose to rule that out as a reason. I've also recently update both computers to the latest norton antivirus. Like I stated the drivers install on the laptop and I'm able to connect the G1 for file transfers, so I assume the driver is working but when I type in adb device or adb shell in cmd, I get the no device msg. I'm really stumped with this one...
*Update* My norton did remove adb.exe from windows\system32 on both computers, but I was able to restore that file on both. Like I said, my pc works just fine, laptop no good...

And point 3
Install linux ( ubuntu 10.4 )
Just give it 10gb
It will eliminate hardware faults as being the problem
The android developer has a tutorial for 10.4, so it should be easy
( no need for drivers, aparently 10.4 ships with the android udev rule )

the driver for file transfer isnt the same as the driver for adb....so your logic is flawed
seriously tho, use linux...wubi is pretty good now and u only need 4-10gb if u are only using it for android stuff
in my experience, windows, especially where norton is used, randomly breaks adb

The file transfer is done using the standard windows mass storage driver, not an android specific driver. Even if it's the same norton, try disabling it and see what happens. Also, trying removing the driver completely and reinstalling it again. I've had the issue happen also only when in windows and it's always something random.

virtualbox _should_ ( I think ) let you 'see' the Android Phone regardless of the drivers being installed on the Windows host
But, I have not tested that

Did you ever get this to work, I have the same issue?
I'm having the same issue, I'm trying to use ADB with my TF300T from a Windows 7 64 bit system. Always get the error adb error.
I have a couple of questions will this work correctly with a 64bit O.S?
Also the part of the instructions that reference SDCARD are they talking about the directory on my ASUS /sdcard/ or are they talking about the physical card?
Just need to know does it require you to have a sdcard in the ASUS to use adb?
May sound like fundamental questions to a lot of you, however I have combed through these forums as well as others all over the web, and the majority of instructions seem to be lacking the basics.
Thank you,

I have Ubuntu at work should I run ADB through this?
I have Ubuntu at work
It's a bit of a process according to the instructions that I have on the
screen right now to setup ADB through this, is there any gotchas that I should
know about before attempting this?
This is running on a VM on one of my servers. What I'm looking for is any known compatibility issues with versions of ADB and the Asus TF300T running .26
Thanks in advance.

Rooting Note on Mac?

New to the site, so sorry in advance if this has been covered. Just wondering if anyone has rooted their Note using a Mac? I have not been able to find any info. regarding this matter. Any info. or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

So far no rooting method available for mac OS.

Just set up a virtual machine of Windows. For example you can use VMWare oder Parellels or the free one, VirtualBox!
Then you can root you note on you Mac, but just in the virtual machine.
I always used this method, and it works well...

Thx for all the help. In your instructions why does it say say to extract to a PC if its MAC or do I skip that step? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm new to this whole android thing. ALso, is it really worth me rooting my device?

it is a .zip must be extracted (pc, mac or linux it's the same)
for example with 7zip [7-zip.org/download.html]

I apparently have no clue how to do this. I've tried to do what the post said, but have had no luck.

[Q] Can someone please help with USB connection?

Had another thread going about getting my Moto X from Sprint Rooted. I did get the bootloader unlocked, but the problem I have now is that when I plug in the device via usb, it only connects as a camera. I can't find the setting that makes the device look like a disk drive so I can push adb files and stuff to it.
I can't get the thing rooted to save my skin. I'm pretty sure I have the camera update, and I have rooted other devices. It used to be with the EVO 4g that when connected via usb, the device would give you options. I do have usb debugging enabled.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
Kidjoe, sorry for starting another thread but I think the inability to copy files to my device is the source of the problem. Was going to try PwnmyMoto first per the instructions, but all I get is that it shows up as a camera, not as a usb device.
Where's the setting I'm missing?

you can push adb when the phone is connected as a camera. To connect it via ptp, you just scroll down your notifications bar and click on the usb notification, you can switch to ptp there. But like i said, adb works when connected as a camera device, so you are doing something incorrectly with adb. Possibly the commands you are running. The OS for your computer might be causing the problem (but that would mean oyu have the wrong stuff downloaded to adb with the computer set up you are using). You don't have the correct drivers. You are using a faulty data cable. you are using a usb 3.0 port that isn't compatible. it is an endless list. Also, you can copy stuff to your device in camera mode as well.
also would like to note that whether you phone is rooted or not has nothing to do with your ability to use adb or push files to your phone.
finally, this is a question which should go under q&a not the general discussion subforum.

I am able to plug phone in and get this:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx>adb devices
List of devices attached
T063202TFL device
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxxx>
Right click on computer/manage and I see android phone in list of devices there.
I was able to use this same data cable to unlock the bootloader. If it were faulty, I don't think I could have done that.
I have tried both usb ports on front and back of the desktop unit, as well as those on a netbook I have in tow. Same result everywhere.
I don't know what to do next.
The thing that sucks is it has to be something simple.....
Seriously. I'd paypal someone to help me out here. I just can't imagine what's going wrong.

so whats the problem. you have adb working. What do you mean you can't copy things to the phone. What error do you get when you try to push a file to the sdcard on the phone? You see your phone in the list of devices so you can put files on it that way too. Really confused at your dilemma.
you trying to root? you trying to push files to the phone? IDK, but you clearly should be able to push them if you have adb running. Perhaps you aren't running the right commands to push files to your phone.

Don't you have to have USB debugging on?

Unless you have another android device connected to your computer, your X has USB Debugging mode turned on, and Windows & ADB properly sees your phone.
As jayboyyyy posted, in this state you can use ADB to push files from the PC to phone, or pull files from the phone onto the PC, assuming you are using the right commands. But if all you are looking to do is copy files back and forth, this is overkill as you can do it with windows. ADB is usually only need for hacking and flashing your phone.
As I said in the other thread... Please include what you were doing and what the results are. You haven't given us a complete enough of a picture to understand 1. what you are trying to do. 2. Any/all steps you have taken. 3. EXACT error message you are receiving.
From your first sentence in the original post in this thread you say you are rooted and have unlocked your boot loader. But your second paragraph starts saying you can't get the thing rooted to save you life.. So which is it? Are you rooted or trying to root? If you are trying to root, what process are you trying to follow? What step in that process are you stuck at? What did you type and what did you get back?
I know you are probably frustrated, but its just as frustrating on this side when you don't give a complete picture that allows us to help you. Look, rooting and hacking isn't easy. It can even result in turning your phone into a paper weight. So these details are important so we don't screw things up and add to the headaches and frustrations.

I'm not sure what you are doing, or trying to do, as you said in the first post that you unlocked the boot loader and rooted.
The Moto X wont show as a drive letter in "My Computer." Even if USB Debugging is on, it should show up as a "Media" device, or Player type device with an icon in a separate section from your hard drives, DVD drive, mapped network drives, or even USB memory sticks/flash drives. It does this because the X supports/uses MTP/PTP, and NOT USB MASS STORAGE MODE.
MTP/PTP wont show a drive letter in My Computer. This is by design. You don't have to "stop" or "eject" the phone from windows when you are done. This mode also allows the phone to access the "storage" or emulated "SD" partition at the same time a connected Computer can.
USB Mass Storage mode will give you a drive letter in My Computer, IF the phone supported it. However the X doesn't, at least not out of the box, and I'm unaware of any app or hack to enable this. In USB Mass Storage mode, the PHONE looses access its storage partition or emulated internal SD card while the PC is connected. You'd need to "stop" or "eject" the device when you want to disconnect form the PC in order to prevent data corruption of the "emulated SD"
So again, its important for us to know exactly what you are trying to do.

From your first sentence in the original post in this thread you say you are rooted and have unlocked your boot loader.
Im sorry I was unclear. Bootloader is unlocked, but I am not rooted. What I said was that I had another thread about getting it rooted.
I'm sorry for the mis-speak. And I'm sorry I'm being such a pain, but others in the thread I'm referencing are clearly having the same issue I am. I just need to know what to do to obtain root access if my bootloader is already unlocked. To be clear, I do NOT have root access.
This is my procedure.
Start with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509676
Download Cydia Impactor. Check.
Download RockMyMoto.zip attachement. Unzip two files to directory x. Check.
Download PuTTYtel file "puttytel.exe" Check.
Step one. I have my ip address. At bottom of wireless config on phone, it is 10.59.1.6. So far so good.
I run adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress just to be sure. same ip addy. Good.
I start command window. push the two files to the phone. all is well.
Step two i open the puttytel window and proceed to run the exploit
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
and I can't run the damn thing because i get PuTTytel Fatal Error
Network Error: connection timed out.
exactly like this dude: http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...f04a/5290120c/2/3/8/1/6/0/9/1384014224630.jpg
The end. I read the rest of the thread, and post #22 is the first of about five other posts that mentions the same time out problem, a solution for which is NEVER ADDRESSED, except indirectly as a possibility that the the two devices are not on the same network. My wireless card is on dhcp and the phone is the IP address above.
that's where it stops. I can't run the exploit because i can't type the command fast enough. Several people mention this problem, but I read all SIX pages of the thread and this defect is experienced my many and adressed by nobody.
This is driving me stark raving Bat S#!+ crazy.

And yes I have USB debugging on.

If your boot loader is already unlocked, there is another process.
https://plus.google.com/110773150384694258853/posts/VhtJtg92sTP
Is the process and while I think that twrp version should work, you might need the older version. Had to take my mom to the hospital so not in a good position to find older if newer doesn't work.
EDIT: this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536200 has some discussion too

Simple explanation to fix ADB unauthorized device in 'M'

QUESTION: Can someone please explain in simple form how to fix the ADB unauthorized issue that has been present since the update to M? The option for removing any current rsa keys is gone from the developer settings. And when you plug your phone in to a new computer it used to pop up a notification that would let you accept the rsa key. None of this is working any more. I cant believe that it is not a bigger issue and I have spent a few hours over a few days looking for a solution so if I have missed it, I am sorry. I have read a few things that say that google has just removed the ability to use adb and one post even explaining that, what looked to me to be a prop file variable, needed to be changed from 0 to 1, or vise versa, but didnt explain where the variable was. I dont see anything that I am confident with in the build.prop. Thanks. Please explain so that anyone will be able to overcome this issue, or point to a link.

Are you talking about the option to "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" under Developer options? It's there, at least on my N6 running stock 6.0.1 MMB29V... And I just tried to ADB to my device and the popup for the authorisation came up on the phone, just as it should.
I think you have some other problem going on.

Are you running the latest adb/fastboot tools on your PC?

Yes I am, I always use the one directly from the 'platform-tools' directory in the SDK. Another thing is I have read multiple articles that actually state that Google has removed the adb functionality in marshmallow... I don't get it. I even went from stock G.E. to CM an its exact same problem. Not to mention now I am dealing bwith the fact that the nethunter kernel isn't compatible with the CM build for Nexus... What!? Anyone can enlighten me on that subject I would love to know that as well... LoL. Here is link to one of the ADB articles though.
Tekto-kodi.com/kodi-news/marshmallow-android-6-removes-adb/

I looked at your link and the links provided in that article. The only thing I can read from those is that the ability to run ADB from your phone, i.e. from the terminal emulator (not your PC) has been removed. Are you trying to run ADB from your phone or your PC (I was under the impression that you're using your PC, but I have to ask)?
As I stated before, ADB from my PC to my N6 works just fine with Marshmallow (6.0.1 MMB29V).
You say that you use ADB directly from "platform-tools", but you don't say if you've updated the tools from the SDK-manager.
