Develop Bugs

New to ADB and have a few questions I can't find the answers to...

Now, I have figured out that I have to actually be in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder for ADB to work, but when I type adb devices it just says List of devices attached but doesn't list my Evo.
I have USB debugging on.
An Android ADB/rooting noob guide would be very helpful right now.

Does it have anything there when you type adb devices? Should come up with a HT and some numbers after it....being your device, EVO.
Actually, there is a step by step Guide for EVO root, and a ADB Guide for Beginners

Your device isn't being recoginized check the driver if u r in windows.

Ok, I managed to figure out the cryptic SDK installer and download the USB driver package to android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. I used Device Manager to install the driver and I pointed it to that folder and I get the "Windows was unable to install your ADB".

Are you already Rooted? as for the Drivers, when I plugged in my EVO via USB, it installed drivers...I also copied the HTC Sync that came on the SDCard w/phone, onto my pc. But I did not have to do anything further.
Can I ask what you are trying to do in adb? and is this for the EVO?

use the cd command to make sure you are in the android sdk tools folder
if you want adb to work
what i do
1. use the cd command to go to the directory where my sdk is located which for example is c:\androidsdk\tools
2. there you go
3. if you want shell make sure your device is connected
"adb shell"
and have htc sync from evo's sd card installed

http://myevo4g.net/main/?p=83
Sent from my HTC EVO

download htc sync and install that. i was having the same problems and apparently the usb drivers that get installed with that app are the ones that worked like a charm for me.

Try
Code:
./adb devices
Instead.

--> try" adb start-server "
If your HTC dont show up, it's usually because the ADB server isnt running. Hope this helps =]

I've rooted a hero before and felt pretty confident with android sdk, usb drivers, etc. After spending an hour trying to get it to work on my win 7 64 bit system, I thought it might save someone some time if I posted what finally allowed me to get adb to work.
My problem was the computer wouldn't recognize the EVO as a device. Even after I installed the usb drivers through android sdk. I tried to manually update them through device manager (pointing it to the usb drivers directory) and still no luck.
As the video linked above showed, the missing piece for me was installing htc sync. use the version that comes on the phone. So connect the phone to the computer, mount it as a drive from the phone menu, then copy over the htc sync directory to your computer, then run it. The version on my phone was 2.031. THEN the computer will recognize it with usb debugging turned on and I'm able to adb to the phone through the command prompt.
Hope that helps someone. Sean

Kindle Fire get ADB working device FOUND solution for KFU

Had been searching on & off over 2 months & finally found the sol
This now lets you use the KFU util and others to root & install new OS etc
You need to have installed ANDROID SDK and extras-usb & JAVA se
1)
you will need to modify the following two files:
a. adb_usb.ini – You can find it under your Users\YourUsername\.android folder
In a typical Windows 7 installation, adb_usb.ini will be located under C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\.android
Open the adb_usb.ini file with a text editor (Notepad is just fine) and add the following line at the end (on a new line). Save and exit.
0×1949
2)
android_winusb.inf – You can find it under the folder you installed the Android SDK, in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Open the file with a text editor (notepad is again good enough), locate [Google.NTx86] section and also the [Google.NTamd64] section and add the following lines to each section, like in the screenshot.
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
3)
Note: If your device list is empty, maybe you plugged-in Kindle Fire before you installed Android SDK and Android USB Drivers. In this case you’ll need to force load the Android USB driver. Right click on My Computer and select Properties then navigate to Device Manager. Under Other Devices you should see Kindle with a yellow icon containing an exclamation point.
Right Click on Kindle name and select Update Driver Software. A Dialog will pop-up asking how do you want to search for driver software. Select Browse and point toward the folder containing Google USB Driver (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver). Select Next and proceed with the installation, choose Install this driver anyway when prompted.
Ok now you can
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
d. type adb kill-server followed by enter
e. type adb devices. If everything is fine, you should see a connected device (your Kindle Fire)

You are good to go

Congrats... glad to hear you got things working. It's nice to see a user's first post be a success story rather than a cry for help. I'm guessing KFU's driver installer didn't work for you for some reason and you had to do it this way.
This is going to be a day late and a dollar short in your case, but you might try it this way if there's a next time around...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
You don't really have to install the SDK to get these drivers installed. You can get everything you need in the KFU distribution with the .inf and .ini files already edited for you. Good luck.

Device Not Found in ADB
Another way to fix the driver issue.
Uninstall driver from device manger. Select delete driver if the option is available.
Copy the driver file somewhere else on your computer
Delete the driver from the old location.
Attach the Kindle and manually install the driver from the new location.
I'm not sure why this worked for me, but after half a day of trying this worked.

This is what FINALLY worked for me

I found that this started to happen to me after some ROMs I was flashing ended up getting stuck on the bootscreen. I am not sure what I did in the process, but I messed up my USB drivers. Now no matter how I configure them. I can't seem to get the device to recognize. Even though both windows devices registers the Kindle, it still won't allow me file system access. No matter which rom I try flashing.. I find that nothing seems to work.
I am trying to now restore individual segments to see if I can atleast get a boot up.. otherwise I am dead in the water.
Any help?
Oh yeah, Fastboot.. works fine.. isn't there a stock image I can just fastboot Upgrade?

KF not recognized in PC. Shows up as GT-P1000 instead and sdcard access.
Noob to XDA so forgive if this post is in the wrong area. I am at my wits end.
ADB: KF to PC connectivity lost after ROM install
The Good News, Bad News and Solution Attempts…
The Good News.
I installed the GedeROM CM9 ICS 4 (GedeROM ICS v4.04 CM9 Kernel v3.0.21) to my 1st generation Kindle Fire and it runs great. It is much smoother at running Air for Android with an App that I have been developing. The USB Host works great with my Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo with the OTG USB Dongle and Logitech nano receiver. I want to keep using this ROM as it is very functional for my needs.
The Bad News.
Now, let’s get to the frustrating part. No more drag and drop. After the install, my PC no longer recognizes the it as a Kindle Fire as a drive or sdcard. It recognizes it as a GT-P1000 (Galaxy Tab P1000). Because of this mis-reporting to the PC device manager the KF and sdcard are no longer visible as a drive on the PC for me to browse, drag and drop items.
The Device Manager sees the
---Android Phone > Android ADB Interface
or depending on the driver
---Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface
and no where in the Device Manager does it show the Kindle Fire any longer.
The only place the device is listed is in
---Control Panel > Hardware and Printers > GT-P1000(!). (Unknown Device)
Attempted Solutions.
1. Driver Reinsall(s) with and without SDK.
I tried reinstalling the drivers for the KF and this changed it from Android Composite ABD Interface to Android ADB Interface. (no change) I reinstalled the Composite interface and still no KF. I also tried a few different versions of drivers up and down the spectrum trying to get this installed. Including trying to install a GT-P1000 driver from Samsung. Still no luck.
2. Android Debugging
I tried to turn on and off and on etc the Android debugging in Settings > Developer Options > Android Debugging. No Luck.
3. Turn on USB Mass Storage
Unable to do this as the options are simply just not there.
4. Reboots
Countless reboots (PC and KF) and cache wipes with and without the KF attached.
5. Different ROM
I tried a different ROM for Jelly Bean 4.2 and it was successful and recognized as a KF and I could browse to the folders on the sdcard. However this ROM was so striped down that it was not really functional for me as there was no file explorer, market app, or any way to browse to the sdcard to install any app that I could drag and drop into the sdcard in the hopes of installing a file explorer and market app. The issue seems to be with the GedeROM CM9 that I am using.
Am I going to have to try multiple ROMS until something works?
Specs:
Kindle Fire (1st Gen, spring of 2012, original one purchased in December 2011, but suffered screen smash)
GedeROM ICS v4.04 CM9 Kernel v3.0.21
The PC I am using is running Windows 7 Professsional.

I have tried several different ROMS today.
I have found that they just dont have the stability and functionality that I like with the version that I am running. SO.... that being said, I found a work around. I can keep the existing ROM in place and if I need to copy something to the SD Card, I can just boot into TWRP and mount the USB drive, make the file copies and then reboot. It's a little annoying, but none so much as not being able to do it at all.
Thanks for the input.

Rooting problem

EDIT!!!
I tried using windroid but i get "Device: not found" when my phone is plugged into the USB cable, i have HTC sync installed and it fins my phone, USB debugging is also enabled but still "Device: not found", why?!
Hello
I have a HTC one X(from Sweden) with Android 4.2.2 installed on it and i want to root it to upgrade to 4.4. I downloaded "OneXRootOneClick" but when i run the file to root as administrator in windows 7 i get "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command "
i then got the newest Android SDK and unpacked it @ > C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools
i then ran the following in CMD
set ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools"
set ANDROID_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\tools"
set path=%path%;%ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS%;%ANDROID_TOOLS%
but when i run the file in OneXRootOneClick again i get the very same thing once more, do anyone know why or how i could another way root my android(possibly without a reset)?

noone got any answer to this ? :/

Open a command window inside the platform tools folders and place the phone in the bootloader, you should see fastboot USB in red text. Type this in the command window :
Fastboot devices
Tell me what happens.
And don't use a tool, let's do this the old fashioned way with straight commands.

No Camera Folder When Connected to PC

Wondering if anyone else has this issue, but when I connect my phone as either MTP, PTP or MIDI; I cannot access or see the DCIM\Camera folder. If I try to navigate to it "Computer\Nexus 5X\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera", I get an error saying Windows cannot find the folder. I have tried turning Debugging on and off, but it didn't make a difference. I've also tried showing hidden files and system files in Windows, but nothing shows up in the DCIM folder.
Apps like EZ File Explorer and Quick Pic can access this folder just fine, but Windows cannot. Any Ideas?
Running the January Update with TWRP, SuperSU v2.65 flashed and Xposed flashed.

Ok, this might be a little too standard but just to confirm, after you connect to PC, do you unlock your phone? (if you have your phone locked). If not, unlock your phone after connecting to the PC and check whether you can now access. Cheers:good:

Is adb bugs on model SMJ200G (j2) common?

I investigated the ADB program. At How to Install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux, I am stuck at step 7 of the instructions for windows. I do not receive any kind of pop up in my SMJ200G phone (j2).
This step:
7. On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access. Naturally, you will want to grant USB Debugging access when prompted (and tap the always allow check box if you never want to see that prompt again).

Perhaps my PC's connection to the phone is buggy, not the cable, but the software? by software I mean Windows/PC not my phone.
btw does file AdbWinUsbApi.dll need to be installed?
Are the following applicable for a official device that have never been rooted:
