I am using the latest SDK. Thanks! That fixed it. Ending adb.exe in Task Manager... I was messing around cos I cant get fastboot to work. I go into FastbootUSB, connect my usb, run "fastboot devices", and I get no results. It just waits for my next command.
I tried killing adb.exe after I wrote an adb command and it didn't do anything. I keep getting that out out date killing .... can anyone help? thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't get rid of that stupid message.
i was having the same problem, i took ADB.exe and adbwinapi.dll from 1.5r2 SDK and put it in the new SDK Tools folder, problem was fixed

could someone please help me .. thanks!
If anyone runs into this problem I fixed mine with the adb.exe from the new "universal" sdk. I downloaded it and just pasted that adb.exe into the existing tools folder. May not be recommended but I did not want to change my setup.
while your phone is in recovery and plugged in, go to device manager and see if there is a listing called adb interface. if so, do you know how to manually update the drivers? by pointing the driver update to the usb folder of the sdk?

running my adb shell ums_enable is no longer working says ums not found ?
edit to m y post i found a alternative thank god!
1.plug in your phone and open command prompt
2.change directories to where u have ur sdk stuff (ex. cd c:\thenameofdirectory/tools)
3.type this in
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
I am curious if any of you loaded Droid Explorer? I loaded it, played around with it, and it was pretty cool for the screenshot and screencast stuff. But, later I noticed I kept getting the "adb server is out of date. killing..." I searched through these threads and Google for a solution, but nothing seemed to work. I could enter "adb remount" and it might work about 1 time in 5. Even adb devices would fail and fail before finally reporting my device. After I uninstalled Droid Explorer. The problem stopped immediately. Now that I think about it, I think Droid Explorer runs a service. Maybe after uninstalling, the services stopped, fixing this problem. If not Droid Explorer, maybe some other program that is trying to detect the device at plugin. Just my experience.
I just killed the DroidExplorer service, and set it to manual. Problem solved.
I've had no luck with DE anyhow, so it probably won't get started again any time soon.

Yes, this is a problem that occurs after installing Droid Explorer. The service also takes a lot of idle CPU time. I have uninstalled it due to this and other reasons.
Damn, Droid Explorer! I uninstalled and I am still having this problem. Damn !
OK, I got droid explorer and adb playing nice together. I deleted the SDK from my PC, and reinstalled droid explorer full (which comes with the SDK already). Then I just added the new tools directory droid explorer installs to the system path. You can find directions on how to do that here -> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec02 . Instead of using C:\AndriodSDK\Tools\ for the string I added, I used the default location where droid explorer installs the tools directory ( C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK\tools ). Now I have the best of both worlds !

I also noticed I was getting the blue screen of death, which I hadn't seen in years. I think DE was causing that, too, because I haven't had the BSOD since uninstall. So two problems I didn't think were related seem to have been caused by Droid Explorer. I think it's a pretty cool program, but I'd rather do things the "old fashioned" way.
Can any of you point me in the direction of how to use ADB to take a screenshot? Maybe it can't. Thanks.
Edit: I found it...Through DDMS!

Sounds like you have droid explorer installed, goto the sdk folder in droid explorer (c:\program files\droid explorer\sdk) copy the 2 folders (platform and tools) to your own sdk folder.

Can you link to the "universal" download please? Probably missing something obvious here, but can't seem to find any other version than the most recent r05.
Thank you - worked a treat

THX BRO!
ok, i have a problem with the g sensor on the samsung captive. now, i've thoroughly searched online and on these forums for a fix, and i've found a few fixes. unfortunately, none of them worked.
before i get into that, here's my phone info:
SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
firmware 2.2
kernal 2.6.32.9
build Cognition 4.3
comp os win7 64bit (if it matters)
now, here is the first fix ive found:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-support-troubleshooting/162768-lost-auto-rotation.html
response #12
ive tried that using terminal emulator, but i get an error saying ADB not found. i downloaded the Android SDK with ADB, navigated to it using the command prompt and typed adb shell as instructed only to get an error saying device not found.
now, i completely abandoned that fix (since i felt i was doing something wrong and going nowhere) and found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712439&page=3
this one had better results, but up until sensorcalibutil_yamaha. like some users on that forum, my result was:
fgets: Unknown error: 0
msmachdep_SaveGsOffset failed
calibration utilities failed
so, after following that forum, i found the solution, which was to delete ms3c_yamaha.cfg from /data/system and rerun. i navigated to that folder on my computer, and nothing. there was no system folder in the data folder. i allowed hidden folders to be visible and still nothing. i downloaded a root explorer app, searched for ms3c_yamaha.cfg and nothing popped up. i couldnt even find the folder it was telling me to look in. and this is where i am stuck.
i cant find ms3c_yamaha.cfg, nor the folder to look into, and i dont know what else to do...
perhaps i'm using the wrong root explorer, or perhaps that folder isnt even on the ROM i used. completely flashing the ROM would be my last resort, since i'm not too savvy on stuff like that, and it took forever for me to figure out how to even put Cog4.3 on my phone, so hopefully someone out there has some info.
thanks for your time
edit:
problem solved!
when i woke up this morning, on my way to work i started thinking about my problem, basically, why couldnt i find the system folder. i searched again in the market for a root explorer and found one that specifically stated "even allows access to the elusive system data folders". i bought the app right away, and immediately i was given access and found ms3c_yamaha.cfg and proceeded with the second solution. after running the calibration, it gave me an odd result, which made my screen rotate when held vertically. i reran the test, and ran the system calibrate (the 3 circles with the blue ball) and all was set. phone works perfectly now.
thanks for anyone who read this, and who was taking the time to find a solution
Hello.
Can you tell me what application explorer you are using?
I got the same problem as yours.
Please reply to my email: [email protected].
Thanks a lot.
Installed LGNPST. Everything went smoothly during download and installation. However, when I go to run LGNPST_CT, an error pops up saying "Failed to load the Skin.dll," and the program doesn't start up. Not sure what to do here...any advice?
Try re installing. What are you running on your computer?

I had the same issue. The way I resolved it was by uninstalling the program, copying the zip to my C drive and unzip them there. Then reinstall and everything was smooth sailing.

I had the same problem. A quick windows search showed me this: When you installed the various components, the installers will have created a C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST directory. The Skin.dll in that directory is the same one that LGNPST_CT.exe is looking for. Just click and drag (or copy and paste, or use the copy command in cmd if that's what you're into) to put it in the directory you are running from. That's what fixed it for me!
Thats it thank you, I ran this a long time ago during first gingerbread update and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasnt working now, but that did it.
Back to Broken out 1.1 hopefully.
Hey guys, I am very frustrated right now because I have been trying to root my phone for over 5 hours and have not gotten anywhere. This is my first time rooting, and I really would appreciate your guys knowledge and help. I have windows, and I have been reading and watching videos and downloading all kinds of things. I tried following the steps in htconeroot.com and I watched the whole video tutorial, and I couldn't even get the htc one root zip downloaded to my computer... Can someone please help me, I am completely lost. I feel like I have just been reading and trying things that are outdated and/or the links do not work anymore. Thank you very much, as I am in need right now and I would really like to get my phone rooted as soon as possible.
Thanks again!

Hey, thank you very much for helping out BD,
I am just learning all this stuff so sorry if I may not know what to do on very basic steps.
My first question is,
on step 5 on htcdev bootloader, it tells me to type in a command. I typed it and I got this, "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
Sorry man, if you get me through this lol I promise I will get you some fine Costa Rican coffee! I want to get it done, I hope you can be here guiding me and I am very thankful!
Howdy,
You need to download all the drivers and add bundle. Which OS do you use on your computer? For the adb get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956
If you need any further assistance just tell and I can make a quick video for you.

Open the cmd window from the folder with all the files that you downloaded
Download and install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and check the desktop shortcut in the setup. Run the new desktop shortcut and type commands there. Put the unlock token bin in the install folder. You can do this by right clicking the shortcut and clicking open file location and drag the token there.
All the files are under download, I went to the cmd window and typed download. Man, I have no idea how to do any of this stuff. I am completely new to all of this. I downloaded the files but then I don't even know if I am suppose to do anything with them...
I will restart again, as if I have not downloaded anything at all...
My first steps should be following the bootloader instructions on HTCdev, and at step 4 I download the files and then extract them to another folder. Then I should go hit start, type cmd. Click cmd, and type that stuff? That is what I did, where did I go wrong?
If you can wait for a bit I can make a video guide, if you wish? Just tell, cheers

I really appreciate you guys on not giving up on me, BD should I download the root files before doing anything else?
Also, since I feel like an idiot about this stuff. Because everyone seems to have no problems and I can't even unzip a file or open a command. I had to google to even know what unzipping a file meant.
Is there any files I should have on my computer prior to attempting to download anything else in the guide? Also, should I just make a folder and name it something like androidroot, and then whenever I download a file, copy it to the desktop and try to open it?

It askes me to use a program to open the file with, the guy on the video is able to just save it with no problem on his desktop then move it to the root file. Whenever it gives me options to manually select the program I can choose to open the bin and I click the root folder, the options of programs it gives me are th HTC driver, fastboot, cmd, another folder saying stock recovery and boot images, and adb?
I have no clue, it doesn't give me an option to just save it to the desktop like how the guy in the vid did. Plus it says windows can't open the file and it asks me to search the web for a program to open the file or to just open the file with an already installed program, I just dont know what program to choose.
Thanks for sticking with me, really appreciate it.

Ok go into setting/about/software/more and tap the build number 7 times it will enable developer options
then go to settings/dev options and UNcheck then re-check USB Debugging you will now get a popup on your phone with an RSA number check the box that says always allow from this PC and hit OK.
Your device should show as device rather then offline
Hi All,
Since I am getting nowhere and no replies for my questions, I am going to rephrase them differently here so hopefully someone can jump in and give me a helping hand... (and please forgive if I seem to bombard the forums with questions).
My Note 3 SM-N900A, build KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2, running 4.4.2. It is having issues with permissions that effectively block the phone from seeing any SD Card, USB, and internal memory space. It won't access any remote resources like internet or Google Play...either
Issues arose after I changed platform.xml. I since then unrooted the phone and uninstalled SuperSU. I can see that these 3 changes were reckless on my part, that I just put the phone into a very bad state that made it very very difficult to recover. I am still banging my head for the blunders but obviously that didn't help fix the phone. :crying:
I would like to know if there is a way to gain access to the phone's system area again to fix the permission issues. Can I use ADB Shell along with USB debugging? If yes, what are the commands I need? Can I somehow send towelroot and SuperSU to the phone via Odin and execute them? The reason I ask this is that I have no way to access any storage area on the phone, and there is no way to go online to download apps. Or can I put the phone into service mode by typing in the *# numbers on the keypad and hopefully fix it there?
Thank you
At this point I'm not even sure if adb would be able to access your memory card to push TowelRoot to it. You might be best off restoring using the stock Odin files, lick your wounds, start over and chalk it up as a learning experience.

Ah, thanks for replying. I was really worrying about that too.
However, I just installed ADT on my PC and connected to the phone via USB debugging. Using the adb shell ls command, I could see the entire directory structure. I was able to get to the system folder too.
I pulled the platform.xml back and attached to this message. Could you or someone please take a look and let me know if anything is wrong in the file? I made very small changes and reverted them. So it should be same as original, but I am not so sure. Also do you know if the encoding of the file is wrong so that Android couldn't read it?
At this point, it appears all is NOT lost. I just need some of your experts to guide me thru the commands needed to regain the access to my SD card or storage from the phone.
Now, let me bring in another point: Prior to having all this snafu, I granted ES File Explorer root access so that I could overwrite the platform.xml file. I don't know if doing that messed up the system. If it did, what would be the most straight forward way, simplest way to try to get back to normal? Provided now adb seems to be able to access the files and directory.
I know I could try install towelroot again, but would like to see if I can bring the system back to normal operation first.
Thanks
I may be wrong, but adb being able to see and pull system files is one thing. To get adb to actually modify system files, you'd need to be able to give adb root access. You may however be able to download the TowelRoot apk to your computer, put it in the same directory as adb, then in the command prompt type "adb push towelroot.apk /data/app/" (without quotes). Reboot and see if TowelRoot installed.

Edit: instead of using adb push, use "adb install towelroot.apk" (if that's the actual package name). Go through the rooting process, download the ES File Explorer apk to your computer install it using adb. Hopefully if all that works, you'll be able to check and fix any permissions that got messed up with your platform.xml. It should be rw-r-r.

OK. You are right. adb doesn't have write access yet.
I tried this and got success:
C:\AndroidDev\sdk\platform-tools>adb install tr.apk
1767 KB/s (113099 bytes in 0.062s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/tr.apk
Success
What should I do next? Does it mean the tr.apk has been installed?
Thanks
Update: I saw the Towelroot app in the App Drawer, but after clicking on it and choosing "make it ralr", I got message "Unfortunately, towelroot has stopped."

Yeah, it is installed in the App drawer, but running it gave me error "Unfortunately, towelroot has stopped.".
I went ahead and install both ES File Explorer and SuperUser packages. From ES FE, I could look at the /system/ect/permissions/platform.xml and could see that it had a different date, its date is older, 3/15/2014. I think it came with the N900AUCUCNC2 that I flashed with Odin yesterday.
So, it appears the permission come from a different place or source, I would like to know where Android actually sees the permissions. You know, how did it think that it needed to lock down read/write access to storage areas while the /system folder has been replaced.
Thanks

So, it appears the permission come from a different place or source, I would like to know where Android actually sees the permissions. You know, how did it think that it needed to lock down read/write access to storage areas while the /system folder has been replaced.
Thanks

I'm at the limit of my experience here... Did you do the all in one restore or the 4 file restore?

Thanks for hanging in and helping, you don't know how much I appreciate your time!
I did the all in one first. That didn't help. Then I did it again with the re-partition with PIT file. But that didn't help either. I didn't try the 4 files individually for fear of losing data.

I think you've just about done everything you can do without a complete Odin reinstall and reformat. If adb pull is working for you I suggest pulling the folders you want to save and doing the complete 4 file install with the PIT file as well.
Someone more experienced than I may be able to get you back up without losing your but tbh with the amount of troubleshooting you've done already I think a full Odin reinstall is your best option and will prevent any issues that could stem from this further down the line.
The only thing I can think of with towelroot is that it needs internet access to run were you connected to wifi when you ran it? It's probably not that simple but figured it couldn't hurt to try!

Hi there,
Thanks for replying. I am kind of afraid I will have to go down that route, but at the same time trying not to if I could.
One of the other reasons I didn't try the 4 files was because I thought the all-in-one, as its name suggested, would be equivalent to those 4 files.
Is there a way to pull the SMS, MMS, call logs from the phone via adb? Do you know where those records are kept?
Thanks

The all-in-one file is the same as the 4 files, the only difference is installing it doesn't wipe the internal storage.
Have you tried running adb backup? That would be a heck of a lot easier than pulling a bunch of folders...if that doesn't work the databases are in /data/data
Calls: /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts
SMS and MMS: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony
Is there is any shell command to long tap
