[Noob TUT]ADB - The Easy Way. 5 Seconds. Portable :)

I saw a lot of threads asking for instructions on how to use ADB to reboot into recovery, Push/Pull Files, etc, etc.
Just follow this guide to set up ADB in 5 seconds WITHOUT THE ANDROID SDK.
This ADB setup is less than one MB and no need to download the entire useless (for us, anyway) Android SDK.
1. Extract the Mini ADB archive attached below to any folder.
2. Just use the RunME.bat file to open a console directly in the ADB folder, so you can get started directly without the cd command!
To reboot into recovery:
Extract, Open RunMe.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
That easy.
Just make sure to have LG Phone Drivers installed beforehand.

Its Super simple!

Does it work on any Android?

When you have bootloops:
Remove battery.
Re insert.
Connect phone to computer using USB.
Try to turn on phone, when bootanimation keeps looping,
run the runme.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
Done
And remember to press thanks

thanks ykumar00 :good:

You can use adb also to install applications from your pc. I keep copies of my apks on windows machine - sending via usb and installing from phone is a tedious task (mounting usb, copying file, unmounting, waiting for sdcard scanning, navigating to apk file, installing). Just type:
adb install -r name.apk
USB debugging should be on.
I've created a batch and registry entry so I just make right click on apk and choose "install to sd" or "install to phone"

That's just one thing adb can do! Apart from reebooting normally and recovery, You can push/pull files to/from any folder, you can take logcats, and on ics, you can use adb to even take phone backups!

Also, could you share the bat and registry file? Looks interesting.

Sure, I'll post it here in the evening (in 4 hours)

Yup it would be really very useful and if someone has something to share related to adb please do so... it would be really very usefull for all ob users.

I could add it to the OP. With credits of course....

Ok, here you go:
the scripts assume that adb.exe is extracted to e:\MiniADB\
download attachments and remove .txt extension from them.
put scripts install.bat and install_tel.bat to e:\MiniADB and run (double click and confirm in Vista/W7/W8 to run as administrator) apk_install.reg.
After that you will get two options in context menu for apk files:
Install in phone
Install in SD card
First option will install application in phone's memory, second in sd card. If application is already installed, it will be overwritten.
If you wish to put MiniADB somewhere else you have to:
modify install.bat and install_tel.bat and replace e:\MiniADB\ with your path
modify apk_install.reg and replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with your path but remember to make all \ doubled \\
Example:
if you want to put MiniADB into c:\Android\MiniADB then replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with c:\\Android\\MiniADB\\ in a .reg file
Those scripts are for Windows only. I'm not sure if it works for Windows NT/9x as registry file format was changed as I remember.
Edit:
USB debugging must be on in a phone to adb work properly. Phone must be connected to computer
Sorry for delay

When trying adb, I am having this problem.

[Tool](s5570I)ROM Tools v2 : Kernel Extractor, BML15 image extractor

ROM Tools v2 ​
Version 2 BETA
v2b (Officially v2)
Linux Script
by iamareebjamal
Automated Android script for extracting boot.img and bml15 partition​
My PC has issues so I can't use it to build mods and scripts, also, I have a very slow internet connection. That's why I don't upload my ROMs. Provided, I build EACH and EVERY one of my mod on my mobile, including those long scripts with repeating commands and making it easy for other guys to use, I could've just created a script with two commands which rendered error if used incorrectly, but I make it noob proof in every way possible so that there are minimum errors from your side and if something gets wrong, you know what it is. Even uploading 5 mb of mod makes it very difficult as I have to reupload if it fails. Writing scripts on mobile is not easy, you'll know if you have done it, it takes hours. Also, these colorful and easy guides are also made on mobile by writing BB codes ONE BY ONE by hand.
I am telling you because a person day before yesterday posted my Amazing Sounds Mod in another forum without my permission. However, he has removed it now. My work is fully open sourced for you to learn and make your own mods. But taking part of my work and posting as yours is not appreciated.
The MOST you can give me is love, prayers and Thanks

Out of the time I was absent from XDA(13 hours ) , I was searching for a method of extracting the kernel from your ROM
Imagine, you want to extract boot.img from your ROM but don't know what to do, you don't have internet to download the stock or custom kernel or simply want to extract it?
I did not find anything except the solution of Android Kitchen but what if you want to do it on your android?
As a bi product of this search, I got a lot of knowledge about the partitions used by Android system and the blocks that define them.
I also got basic knowledge about Linux Scripting.
So, I created this script that backs up your boot.img and bml15.img partitions.​
​ boot.img - kernel of your device
bootextractorv2.sh - Backs up your kernel
bml15.img - IMEI partition
bml15extractorv2.sh - Backs up your IMEI partition
Note:- SGY Toolbox also backs up and restores bml15_EFS.img. And that also with a nice user interface, I just created this mod, because I wanted to but I recommend newbies to use SGY Toolbox for backing up IMEI
However, I found no tool able to backup the kernel, so it may be very useful for some members
ChangeLog
Code:
*More Interactive
*More Intelligent
*Added Option to create Odin Flashable Tar package for kernel
*More Convinient
Requirements :​
Root Acess
Busybox
Android device
Hands
Terminal Emulator or Script Manager
(Script Manager recommended)​
Instructions​
Script Manager Method (Easy):-
1. Download Script Manager.
2.Download desired script and place it on sdcard.
3. Open Script Manager and enable browse as root.
4. Go to the downloaded script and click on the green android icon(root) in the pop up window.
5. Click on Run. Follow Instructions and enjoy
Terminal Emulator Method (Hard):
1. Download Terminal Emulator.
2. Download desired script and place it in the root of the sdcard.
(You can place it anywhere else but the directory should not have spaces and you will have to change the commands accordingly)
3. Open Terminal Emulator and type (After every command you have to press enter)
Code:
su
And Grant Root Access
Then, type
Code:
sh /sdcard/bootextractorv2.sh
or
Code:
sh /sdcard/bml15extractorv2.sh
according to the the script you want to run
4. Now, follow the instructions on screen and enjoy
Download bootextractorv2.sh
Download bml15extractorv2.sh​

[HOW TO]Get/Pull OTA links from logcat via ADB Win7/8

Hello everyone!
Straight to the point.
How to pull OTA links on any Android version. via ADB on PC. [No Root necessary]
This works on any Android version without root.
[NOTE: if you are on Android 4.2.2 and PC can't see file like on NEXUS Devices with 4.2.2 do this: open file explorer on device and look for logcat.txt and compress it to a .zip file. That way PC will see it and you will be able to pass it to PC and open it to search for the link inside logcat.txt.]
What you need:
ADB Tools Files [Download Here] Thanks Garwynn
Samsung Drivers [Download Here] Thanks Rwilco12
Patience and brain matter.
Instructions and Tips:
1. Setting up ADB Tools on Windows 7/8 environment variable:
A. Extract ADB Tools folder to "C:\"
B. Click "Start", right click on "Computer" and select "Properties" in the right pane select "Advance System Settings" then "System Properties" will open, select the "Advance" tab if its not selected by default and click on "Environment Variables".
Under "System variables" look for "Path" on the list, select it and click on "Edit..." then on "variable value:" (be careful not to delete anything there) look for the end and add the patch where you extracted the "ADB Tools" folder, if you extracted to "C:\" then the path should be: ";C:\ADB-Tools\" without colons of course. click OK then OK and OK again. Now the Environment Variable for the ADB Tools is added to system.
To test it open CMD and type: "adb devices", it should show your device ID if its connected via USB, if not it show the strings "daemon not running. blah blah starting it now on port xxxx" and "daemon started blah blah" and list of devices attached empty. (Congrats you set ADB successfully).
2. Install Samsung Drivers.
3. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on device.
4. Plug device via USB to PC (if windows start installing drivers wait for it to finish) and open CMD and type the following ADB commands to create the logcat.txt file on internal sdcard.
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.txt *:V
5. Exit CMD and unplug and plug device again to be able to see logcat.txt on sdcard. Move to PC and search for link inside logcat.txt. Profit.
Tip: to find the link faster open it on notepad press crtl+F and search for http: until you find something like this "http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/xxxx.zip"

Apparently, the log gets cleaned up or cleared at some point because there is no line containing "http", "ota", or even "zip" in my log. It was 5 or 6 days ago when my phone re-downloaded the OTA, so if you are going to do this, you best do this not too long after the update notification.

no matter if it finish the download or not links are there until you reboot, you need to open the file in the PC, if you open it on the device it will not show the full log.
Edit: also read the blue note in the start of the post.

Oh, I was looking at the log on my PC.
Anyway, your "until you reboot" is the operative phrase here, I think.

shameless bump. :silly:

[GUIDE] Simple method to move apps to SD without link2sd or scripts

Title says it all no scripts needed nor is any link2sd and ext-sd partition. This is no new discovery it just sets default install location via a terminal parameter - am just sharing it so that those of you who might not know this benefit from it
Requirements :
*Rooted device (with usb debugging enabled in settings - developer options)
*Terminal emulator
Steps
* open term. Emulator
* type su and press enter key (accept any super user prompt that follows)
* key in the following code and press enter when done :
Code:
pm set-install-location 2
After completion you can go to setting - manage applications and move all apps to sd even the likes of stubborn apps like Facebook.
NOTE:
You can also get current default location by following code :
Code:
pm get-install-location
You can set it back to desired location by using 'pm set-install-location' if ever you feel the need to. The number after location denotes -
Code:
0-auto
1-internal sd
2-external sd
If the any of above codes give errors then try without hyphens in middle. Ex.
Code:
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
Have a good day

Works well for me in cm9 and 2.3.6 and in fact should work on all android devices but don't exactly know why you can't get it to work - am sorry i can't help to revert just use 0 by the way you could also give internal sd (1) a try to see if it works. Anyway thanks mate for letting me know it doesn't work
