[TUT] Getting Windows to detect your Adam via ADB

How to get ADB to work with Adam by detecting in Windows properly.
Hello I wanted to document a way to get this going so hopefully this helps anyone interested in using ADB with their Adams since the original tutorial seems to lack some important "how-to" parts.
Another thing.. I am only trying to help and add to the adam experience.. I am not a teacher or anything so if you are unsure about a step STOP and go do some research.. this is for someone who already has a general knowledge and to assist those to are trying to learn this.. its not a substitute for learning it yourself.
----------
Here are the steps that you need to follow in order to enable these drivers:
You must have Android SDK installed before you can proceed!!
If you don’t have it already, proceed to download here and you can see a ADB guide found here.
Make sure you download the Google USB Driver Package as well.
Open the google-usb_driver folder that you will find inside your Android SDK folder.
Open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad or any text editor to edit it.
Add these lines under [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64] depending on whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows. If unsure, it is safe to add these under both these sections.
Code:
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
Don’t edit or replace any other text that is already there; just add these new lines and save the file. You can add them right before the
Code:
; HTC Dream
To be able to use ADB and other SDK tools with your device, you can proceed as follows:
On your tablet, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and enable ‘USB Debugging’.
Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. You will get a notification that some drivers were not installed, which is OK for now.
Go to device manager and Identify your device from the list, right-click it and click ‘Update Driver Software..’.
Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer.
Choose to view all devices and click ‘Have Disk…’.
Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder and select the android_winusb.inf file.
If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, just choose to continue installing.
Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device.
You will want to connect your device via usb and make sure usb debugging is on. (Settings, applications, development, usb debugging CHECKED!!)
To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
If you see your device name or a few numbers as the output under the list of devices, your device is now recognized by ADB.
Happy Developing!

9.Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
10.Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
13.On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.

Thanks for the reply, I unlocked the bootloader . Another question, i'm trying to root the phone following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33196351#post33196351.

no, if you have unlocked the bootloader there is no need to root.
You can flash either my kernel or the advaced stock kernel and you will automatically get root.

Recovery mode bricked on USB Notice picture after try to enable root

Hi
(Sorry for my little english, feel free to speak french if you can)
I have try to root my 4X HD for using a better recovery app (recover pictures deleted in sd card, now you know my skill). I have use this page: (as newbie i cant post outside links)
n fact, I never had an Android device where this was that easy to achive! Our friends at XDA-Developers offer a guide and the necessary tools in this thread. Having a "Microsoft free zone" and "only" running Linux machines (yeah, even the Android ones run a Linux kernel), I was able to follow up those steps with a little adaption here and there -- and so I will sum up the results for Windows and Linux users as well:
Preparation
First you need to download the required tools, all of them available at the linked XDA-Developers thread:
o4xr.zip is the rooting toolkit
IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk to prepare your device
Windows users only: LGUnitedMobileDriver_Ver_3.7.2_LG-P880_LGO4XHD.zip -- the Windows drivers for the device
Having everything downloaded, some additional steps are necessary at your computer:
Windows users only: Unzip and install the drivers
Linux users: Make sure adb is able to detect the device (check with adb devices). If it's not, see at the end of this answer for some hints.
Everybody: Copy IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk to your Optimus (e.g. after connecting it via USB in MTP mode, copy the file to the internal SDCard)
Everybody: Create a new directory, unzip o4xr.zip there, and change into this directory.
The rooting process
On your Optimus, go to Settings→Security and make sure "Unknown Sources" is TICKED (i.e. contains a checkmark)
Go to Settings→Developer Options and enable "USB Debugging"
Now install IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk (e.g. use a file explorer to find and "launch" it)
Open the "SystemBackupTest" app you just installed. Nothing spectacular will happen, so don't be disappointed here.
Hold the power button and choose "Power off and restart".
When you can see the lock screen, you may notice that the phone is running very slowly, this is normal.
Once the device is fully started up again, connect it to your computer with an USB cable. Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
On your PC, open a terminal (Linux) resp. command (cmd.exe, Windows) window and change into the directory you've extractedo4xr.zip` into.
(on Windows, you may need admin privileges: right click, run as administrator. On Linux it did fine for me without superuser/root permissions)
Now run the rooting script:
Windows users: type root followed by the enter key
Linux users: type ./root-linux.sh, also followed by the enter key
Any Mac users? Type ./root-mac.sh, also followed by the enter key. Don't worry, it won't root your Mac/Linux machine (Windows users: it is unlikely to root your box, either
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE WHILE THE SCRIPT RUNS! Wait while it does its job. During that process, the phone will reboot automatically a couple of times. The script will inform you about this in your command/terminal window. Once the command/shell prompt returns, the misdeed is accomplished
Now uninstall SystemBackupTest from your Optimus. Do not launch it again at this state, or you might have to start over from step 5
On your phone, open up Google Play Store and search for "SuperSU". Update the app when prompted, then open it. Press OK to update the SU binary.
You now have root and can safely restore the "Unknown Sources" and "USB debugging" settings back to how you had them! Congratulations! Next steps are to install Titanium Backup, LBE Privacy Guard, and all the other things you might need and which require root!
At step 8. i got "command not found" in Terminal (Linux Mint), assuming script don't work i have reboot my device.
Since my phone boot but is very very slow and screen is friezed, even if i can unlock my SIM card by memory pattern (without sim card and always by memory i can see Settings of android but not down the list).
In recovery boot (Sound up + Power), my device show me a picture that would say "dont unplug charge and usb".
I guess my phone is not rooted, adb can list it but not fastbood. LG software (on windows 7) cant communicate with it because usb driver not work. I guess i've try and read more since 8 hours but my brain is off right now. Any help will be very welcome.
Cheers

[guide] repairing lost imei in lenovo yoga tab 2 1050l and others android 5.0.1

After long fight I managed to repair lost IMEI after changing roms and accidentally formatting ESP partition.
Prerequisites:
1. ROOT
2. Intel Phone Tool 191
3. Windows with ADB installed and android USB drivers
To make things short:
1. need root on tablet
2. turn on ADB debugging
3. connect tablet to Windows PC (I used Windows 10)
4. run "cmd"
5. type "adb shell"
6. type "su" (root is obligatory)
7. type "setprop system.at-proxy.mode 1" -> source http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22471...-planshetah-yoga-2bez-nalichiya-bekapov-i-tp/
7a - this actually makes your device discoverable by Windows as Virtual Com port and this is needed for Intel Phone Tool 191 to connect
7b - you need to set Virtual Com Port as COM1
8. Once connected in Intel Phone Tool go to Modes -> Security
9. Change IMEI in all places necessary
10. Reboot and BE HAPPY AGAIN!
Hope this helps somebody and he won't loose so many time on this problem as I did.

And you think it is really good to have a copy/paste of guides from the original site to some other sites without giving the credits? I think credits should be given where due.

what laptops supported hackintosh ventura?

Needs to be somthing with decent specs. Don't try with an older pc. It's not going to run well

Interesting, I did not know this works on amd. I suppose on a ryzen gaming laptop it wouldn't be able to use the dedicated GPU , in theory .. Or would it be able to take control of it.

The easiest way is to find a laptop that somebody has already installed OSX to and has posted their OC or Clover configuration online.
hint: search GitHub for: hackintosh and the model names of laptops you are able to find in your pricerange
