I have my Evo rooted with DC 3.1.1 and I also have Nand Unlock via Toasts Way. But I did all of this using Windows. I already installed Android SDK for Mac. But every time I try to execute a command after I do the cd /android-sdk/tools. It just says -bash: adb: command not found. Can anyone give me a hand?
same issue for me

Hi all, I am using a froyo rom based on richardtrips rom.
I'm trying to push a themed facebook apk. I have placed the apk in the tools folder.
This is what I did.. Boot to recovery, then open a cmd on my windows laptop. I then did the cd to go to my adb tools folder.
Then I typed
Code:
adb remount
This gave me an error saying error 0.
So I tried while the handset was booted normally. The remount was successful.
I then typed
Code:
adb push system/app/facebook.apk
This just gave me the help list with details of all the commands.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
how about
adb shell mount /system
adb push C:\Facebook.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

Your problem is that you're entering adb commands inside shell.
Once you see the # sign, after typing adb shell, that means that the adb commands will no longer work. So, your commands that begin with adb will NOT work if you see the # sign..
Also, for commands like adb devices and remount, they need to be run outside of shell or rather from your AndroidSDK\tools PATH directly.
This will work:
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools:
adb remount
adb devices
adb shell
This won't work:
Code:
C:\android-sdk\tools:
# adb remount
# adb devices
# adb shell
Notice the # sign (this happens when you type adb shell), this means you're now root and now using shell -- you cannot run the adb commands inside shell, you have to instead use Linux commands, or specifically commands from BusyBox.
Just to clarify: Some commands can be sent outside of the shell, but they have to be preceded by "adb". For example:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Others will only work inside of the shell, like ls, mv, cd, and so forth. Search for an adb command listing (you do have a Google phone, after all) and it may help to familiarize yourself with basic Linux terminal commands as well - a lot of them are accepted by adb.

Yea, I was aware of this, just decided not to mention it. Thanks for pointing it out though.
Attached are Modified ADB USB Drivers for, when available via uRamdisk, ADB shell access through USB/Command Prompt.
Run adbfix.bat and follow the instructions. Currently, for me at least, it will only install the "SingleAdbInterface" connection not the "CompositeAdbInterface" since ADB only currently works wireless.
Again, don't flame because this doesn't work yet...it will once an updated uRamdisk is released with Command Prompt.
Enjoy

you know what I mean I'm just that old.
**THIS IS FOR US WIFI & 3G XOOM**
This guide in no way implies or expresses any warranties.
What you choose to do with your equipment is your sole responsibilty.
________________________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
You must already be running Honeycomb 3.2 on your Xoom **DO NOT USE WITH HC 3.2.1. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE WIFI FAILURES** USE THIS TO ROOT HC 3.2 AND THEN UPDATE TO 3.2.1 USING THIS METHOD.
You will be unlocking your Xoom, if you have not already. This will wipe data so make sure to back everything up that you would like to keep.
You will be performing steps in ADB. If you are not familiar with this, read HERE first.
You will need Xoom USB drivers and Fastboot
You will need the WIFI boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
OR You will need the 3G Verizon boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
You will need Superuser.apk and su binary to enable functioning root
**Before you get started, make sure the USB Debugging option is enabled in the Settings. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development -->USB Debugging**
PROCEDURE
Download and unzip files. Place rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary in the same place you will open your command window.
Open command window:
Type; adb devices - you should see a long serial number on the screen. If no serial number appears, recheck your adb, sdk & moto usb driver files.
Type; adb reboot bootloader
Type; fastboot oem unlock - and follow the steps on your xoom's screen (You have to accept the terms by pressing the volume down key, and then select 'accept' by pressing the volume up key.)
Allow the xoom to boot up completely and go back into settings and enable USB debugging again.
In the command window on your PC type; adb reboot bootloader - (if xoom does not respond, disconnect from pc and reboot manually by holding vol up + power. then reconnect after fully rebooted)
Type; fastboot flash boot rootboot.img (for WiFi)
OR Type; fastboot flash boot 3Grootboot.img (for 3G Verizon)
Type; fastboot reboot
Allow the xoom to boot completely - your xoom should be in normal operating mode for the remainder of the process.
In the command window on your PC type; adb remount
Type; adb push su /system/bin
Type; adb shell
Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case "L", like llama)
Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
Type; exit
Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
Thats it...your done!! Unplug the xoom and reboot. Your xoom is now stock rooted. You can now flash ClockworkMod, other kernels and roms. To verify root, download a root user app from the market and run it. You should be prompted to allow superuser permissions.
Mac Only Procedure
You will need fastboot for mac - download HERE
Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)
Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder
Type; ./adb devices - (look for the xoom serial number to show its connected.)
Type; ./adb reboot bootloader
Type; chmod 755 fastboot
Type; ./fastboot oem unlock
Type; adb reboot bootloader
Type; ./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
Type; ./fastboot reboot
Type; ./adb remount
Type; ./adb push su /system/bin
Type; ./adb shell
Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
Type; exit
Type; ./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
Disconnect and reboot xoom. Download a root app and test.
If you found this helpfull press the THANKS button.
Excellent write-up, I'll try this when I get a chance.
Been trying to downgrade and then get to the rooted, stock 3.2 using a couple routes shown here. They seem to create an issue with CWM not sticking...
Works great!
I just flashed back to 3.01, re-locked the WiFi Xoom (USA), OTA'd to 3.1 and followed that with the OTA to 3.2. I then unlocked and went thru your rooting procedure and it worked great. All tests indicate a successful root. Thanks for the practical guide!
thanks for the easiest way (i dont have an sd card) ..
one Q; why is this boot file about only 2 mb? the original one is aprx. 8 mb.. are we missing some features by replacing the boot files? or is it completely "stock+root" only ?

It is only a boot partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel.

Are you in fastboot or is your Xoom booted normally? If you are in fastboot, reboot and let the Xoom load normally.
Wow that was easy... Why cant all android devices be this open and straightforward? Im sooo pissed at HTC with the EVO 3D. Cant wait for the Galaxy S2 to come out
Mad respect to Motorola for getting this one right
And last but not least, Thanks so much to the OP for the great writeup!

Its already unlocked, so I skipped the unlocking steps.
I will take another try from the beginning

Thanks for the write up. Just got my xoom today and right after I updated to 3.2 I thought that I may have a problem trying to root. Your guide worked perfectly for me. The only issue that I had was reading "ln -s," as "In -s." Yeah that was stupid of me.

thanks jase33 my problem was with the driver, I re-install it & now rooted
Help... I have been having this same problem with multiple procedures. I have everything as instructed. USB debugging ON, SDK installed on Fedora 15, fastboot in /platform-tools folder. I type the first command (and this is the part that keeps happening despite the method used) "adb reboot bootloader" -- the Xoom reboots to screen desscribed as Motorola logo, centered, with "Starting Fastboot protocol support." in the top left corner. Also, in the terminal I get the message < waiting for device > after typing "fastboot oem unlock" That's it.. That's where I always get stuck. I am able to press power button and vol up to reboot normally. But, I can let it sit here like this with logo showing forever. Am I missing any drivers? As I said I am running Linux (Fedora). When I type "adb shell", I can successfully browse the Xoom filesystem.
SOLUTION: Ran fastboot command as root.
su
fastboot oem unlock
WOW! Thanks jase33 that was painless.
Everything worked great, just as you said it would.
