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

ok, so i wrote a program in C# that will open a process CMD.exe and send adb Commands from a Working directory i setup previously that includes Adb and all the other goodies i need for automating the process of rooting and such.
here's my issue, the program will work perfectly in Win 7, but when i run in XP,
i run ADB shell reboot. the phone will reboot. but never reconnect until i end the my program process. ive tried adb kill-server. tried closing the process within my program. i do notice in XP adb will open two adb.exe processes. even when running outside of my program in the command prompt.
i am using a backgroundworker thread to send the commands.
any help is appreciated.
let me know if you want me to post some code. though i don't think its the programming.
Don't think its the programming either. XP has all sorts of weird bugs and why I jumped ship immediately when 7 came out and have been quite happy since. Don't know much about programming but I've read alot of issues with XP and adb. Stick with 7 if you can.
ok, so still haven't found out why adb doesn't like Win XP. the way i got around it was to drop C# for the ADB commands. i made a batch script to run my adb commands. and a C# console app to send the Serial Modem Commands(for PRL and NV item writing) that i call in my Batch file.
but if anyone has any tips to try ill for sure try them.
more detailed description.
i create a new thread that will create a Process of cmd.exe then do a process.StandardInput("ADB Commands");
the current running thread will finish before the next can be started so no prob with multiple threads running.
all my adb commands ie. adb push recovery.img /wherever/recovery.img
work just fine and does what its 'spose to.
until i get to adb shell reboot.
the phone will reboot but the adb driver is never reconnected after the reboot. like it normally would when running the command from the terminal.
i will have to close my C# program before it will connect and recognize the driver again.
again all this works just fine in Win 7.
i also tried to do a "Scan new Hardware" in device manager after reboot and both programs will just go unresponsive at that point.
next, i will attempt to make my own ADB in C#. if im not mistaken adb uses a TCP connection to communicate with the device. default port 5037 me thinks.
@TronofTroy
Hey do you mind sharing a couple of commands with me in C# on how to write the prl n nv items please.
Also I have been trying to send commands from a windows based form in C# but I can figure out how to do it properly.
Thank You very much!
I just use batch scripts and run them.

?????????? insufficient permissions.
this is the message you get in linux when adb and fastboot have trouble detecting your device. im no guru. so you will have to bear with me. this procedure will work on most devices. and most debian or ubuntu based distros. but i am giving it for detecting htc vivid setup on ubuntu 10.10
after u recieve the error in terminal type in command (lsusb)
the terminal will spit out vendor id's for all usb devices attatched. on the vivid it is 0bb4:0cbb
then you need to create a new file (sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules)
your vendor id is added to that file (SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0c01″, MODE=”0666″) save and exit
fix permissions to the file just in case (chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules) i found i needed this.
then kill the adb server (./adb kill-server)
have at it again and you should be all good. (./adb devices) should show up now.
like i said im not hardcore. it took me some serious googling to get over this hump for me. i was wondering if this should be stickied so linux users with this issue can get passed it quickly. this is the first device i have owned that my ubuntu box didnt natively detect.

This is all very basic for setting up adb on linux. I believe its even in the instructions for installing adb on Google's website

you are correct. but some people, me especially dont understand any of that stuff. so i look for little copy paste procedures anywhere i can. so long as i can find them i dont ask for help. so i thought i would throw it out there for the people who dont look outside of xda for anything. so i hope its both accurate and usefull
This should be in the general Vivid forum. Moderator please move.

It is a piece of cake trust me. Before I rooted my AHD I had never used Ubuntu or any form of Linux. I download Unbuntu and made the liveCD, and literally copied and pasted every command from the thread into the terminal in Ubuntu, then just followed the instructions on how to connect the phone. Worked first time, no issues. Just grab a cup of coffee, take your time, copy and paste and you will have root in no time,

The hardest part is probably making the liveCD :laugh:

I rooted my AHD tonight and it was my first experience ever using Ubuntu. It took me a while to figure it out, but once I got started it was a cake walk. Like someone else said, the hardest part is probably making the LiveCd/usb. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't ever get Ubuntu to work properly in VirtualBox so I ended up just booting my LiveUSB and opening the instructions on my tablet and doing it. It's super easy. Just do exactly what it says.
Oh, and it took me a little while to figure out just how to open a terminal in Ubuntu (ctrl+alt+T). If you're as much of a noob with this as I am knowing how to open a terminal will save you some time right from the get-go.
Good luck!
Google is your friend
any help?
ok so I ran Ubuntu and i cannot get my AHD to connect to the remote server i have entered everything as the instructions said all i get is an error that says that i need to repair my network is there a way to fix this?I really want my root back guys any help ?
EDIT:I have fix this by restarting my router excuse my my questions
very sorry

So yeah...
I was wondering, if any "recent" version of Ubuntu would work for the root...
Main reason for asking this was because I had a Live USB With 10.04
That and the PC i'm stuck with ATM just can't seem to handle 12.04...

Never mind, I'm getting Lubuntu...
[EDIT]
I keep getting this error when trying to install samba in my lubuntu (persistent) usb...
Personally, I find these errors to be very annoying, as all I want to do is root my phone...

thanks for all your help, you guys roick finally rooted on stock jelly bean btw used ubuntu 12.10 on usb worked great first time no problems
Lubuntu Variant
I noticed for Lubuntu, its a slight variant as opposed to the basic Ubuntu instructions...
Instead of gedit, you can substitute leafpad instead...
"sudo leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf"
Oh and I think I solved my earlier problem after installing the "sessioninstaller" from the Synaptic Package Manager... (Use the search function.)
My only issue ATM is when I'm in the terminal and I try and use "sudo restart smbd" and it doesn't seem to work.
It merely tells me smbd isn't a process...
