Many Questions in 1 Thread

1) I just got Ubuntu on my computer. How do I use adb on it? I have already put the file in that udev folder and debugging is on already. What files do I need and what do I run in terminal?
2) Adb&fastboot do not work for me anymore. It always says "waiting for device" but nothing happens
3) Are there any alternates to applying your nandroid backups other than fastboot?
4) I just got LucidREM's new JFv1.51 but whenever I receive a call my phone vibrates then just loses all connection and has me input my 4 digit sim card key to unlock it. Anyone else get this problem?
5) What is the latest system recovery utility build? Mine is JFv1.42

First, make sure you have set up the adb compatibility for your distribution:
http://telyas.com/wordpress2/2009/04/29/ubuntu-jaunty-and-android-adb/
Note this is for jaunty.
do you have the android SDK? you need to download it, then run adb from the tools folder, or add it to your .bashrc profile so that you can type "adb" from anywhere.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r2.zip
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/installing.html
There are no "image all" alternates to fastboot. If you need a compiled for linux fastboot (32 bit), here:

I can't help you with the last one.

So I installed the adb. It is in /android/tools/
How do I get to it

either use
Code:
cd /android/tools
./adb devices
or
Code:
sudo cp /android/tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
adb devices
either one will work. if you use the second one you can use adb from any directory. Also the latest recovery image for the G1 is 1.43 but i still use 1.42 since i don't think there is a differnce

sudo: fastboot: command not found
Fastboot is in /usr/bin :\

use the path
either try specifying the full path to fastboot in your sudo command, or ensure that sudo is installed, which should obtain, since Ubuntu installs it by default

Alright I got fastboot working.
Now my only problem is that whenever I use fastboot to restore the 3 .img's my phone just goes to the android image and it keeps on cycling the boot

Is there any way to require adb shell root?

I got the tool "galaxys2_kernel_repack" to modified the zImage which got from the official release and changed the default.prop "ro.secure=0".
Use the kTool.apk write the image to phone. after reboot, the default.prop value has changed. but the adb shell is still in normal mode, not root mode.

Thanks for your answer.
I used the stock ICS release by SAMSUNG, not CM release.
As your answer, there is still the normal mode, but can require root shell type the command "su".
I have resolved the problem by flash the speedmod kernel which provide adb shell root. With adb shell root you can use PC Client command like "adb root", "adb remount", "adb push to /system directly"

[Q] S-Off 1.56 Help Please

I have been trying to do this at work and cannot figure it out at all. I have unlocked my bootloader and it is rooted and installed custom Twerp recovery. I have downloaded firewater but then am stuck. I have opened up CMD and typed in adp reboot but nothing happens. in the instructions it says I need to do this:
Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:
adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Question is how do I push, Prepare etc? Sorry I have read so many posts this afternoon I am starting to go stir crazy. I have moded loads of samsung phones but this really is starting to go over my head. Any help would be wonderfull

do you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer?
if yes have you opened your cmd prompt from adb/fastboot folder?
is you rphone drivers correctly installed on the computer?

Error says adb is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Will try and watch a youtube video tonight. Spent way to much time on this today

That mean your cmd prompt doesn't find ADB.exe either because you don't have it or because you did not started the command prompt from adb.exe folder.

[Q] Recovery not sticking - adb help

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some help. I am able to root my gear and transfer the TWRP via odin. But when I reboot into recovery it just goes back to the stock launcher. I read this in the developer thread:
IF YOU FIND THE RECOVERY IS NOT STICKING & YOUR GEAR WIPES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS RECOVERY AFTER FLASHING.
YOU MUST ROOT YOUR GEAR PRIOR TO INSTALLING TWRP AGIAN & RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS IN ADB.
*NOTE* YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT A SUPERUSER REQUEST POPUP WHEN EXECUTING "SU" COMMAND.
*NOTE 2* PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO RUN THIS PRIOR TO FIRST INSTALLATION, TO SAVE TIME.
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system
# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
IF YOU DELETE THE "RECOVERY-FROM-BOOT.P" FILE YOU MUST RELFASH TWRP RECOVERY.
I have rooted and installed roms on phone before but working in the developer tools is new to me. Can anyone explain exactly how and when to do this during the TWRP recovery install process? Or possibly just point me to a how to or youtube on basic adb commands? I have searched and it looks super complicated. Just need to know how to run these 3 commands.
THANKS!

i have the exact same issue, is there any answer for this??

Well it's been well over a year since I did that but let's see if I can help..... Before I start I'm hoping you've already enabled adb debugging on the gear and downloaded adb onto your computer. I believe you run the commands after you've run cygnia but before you flash twrp. You run the task from a command prompt from your pc. I'm pretty sure you don't include the $ or #. Before you start try the adb command- adb devices from the command prompt on your pc. That'll let you know if the gear is connected. I remember being a bit intimidated by it all as it was different to any other flash I'd done. In reflection it's very easy, type the line in a command prompt, press enter, wait for the cursor to come up again, type the next line. As for guides..... I can't remember which one I used but there's plenty out there.

Fire 7 9th gen rooting problem

So I'm trying to root my fire 7 9th gen (os ver 6.3.1.4)
And the problem is mtk-su says permission denied (sw method btw)
I'll literally follow every step correctly
And it will just say perrmission denied when I run ./mtk-su
If anyone can help me thanks in advance

What directory on the kindle are you copying the mtk-su file to?
The ADB shell has the necessary access in some folders only, so the target folder matters.
/data/local/tmp worked fine for me.
For me the following worked:
(Computer) adb push mtk-su /data/local/tmp
(Computer) adb shell
(ADB shell) cd /data/local/tmp
(ADB shell) chmod 755 mtk-su
(ADB shell) ./mtk-su
I did do this on os 6.3.1.2 though. If this does not work on 6.3.1.4 anymore, you might want to downgrade to 6.3.1.2 via ADB sideload first.

You can use hardware method instead: https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...ire-7-2019-mustang-unbrick-downgrade-t3944365
Follow the steps carefully.

I dont believe Downgrading is an option. You need to do the hardware method to unlock. ADB sideload has been removed from stock recovery. Downgrading involves brick risk also. This thread should have most of the answers you seek.
