Newbie to Android...ABD?

So I'm completely new to Android and ADB, I'm usually very good with computers, but I'm having trouble understanding this, LOL. So I'm trying to use the how to's fund on this site...

I don't have exact links to hand but goto the Development section and your questions can be answered trough reading the threads.
Don't post a thread asking tho. at least not in that section.

Exactly why I posted in here. I looked in that section and the Hero section. Doesn't say anything about getting a $ instead of #

How do i get the adb shell? Where is it coming from, is it a windows installation? Sorry, cant seem to find much info on obtaining the adb.

Download the Google sdk and put it somewhere and then cd to it in cmd.

ah, you're in a shell. the # indicates root permissions, and the $ indicates that you are a user, with a prompt, but not root permissions
questions: are you doing this while android is running? or are you doing in recovery? and, have you rooted your phone?

ADB for Newbies.
Ok so, im going to use adb push as an example for this.
On a mac, to push adb i would use this:
cd /android-sdk-mac_86/tools (of course the android sdk depends on where you have your sdk saved)
./adb devices (to make sure your adb is running)
./adb push (your file) /data/local/
On windows, you would navigate to your android sdk, then do:
adb devices (to make sure your adb is running)
adb push (your file) /data/local/
I used the data/local/ for an example because that is how you adb a custom boot logo.

su brings up the superuser shell

Titanium Backup
What I used to remove Sprint Junk Apps
I use Titanium Backup, easiest way to get rid of it. Gives you an option to remove it. Must be rooted to use this app. Just a thought, in case adb is not your cup of tea. Though ADB isn't really hard to use either.

[Q] [Problem] bootanimation

I a newbie and I am trying to change my bootanimation.
I have
HTC Desire
OS: Android 2.2 (froyo) I updated it though OTA
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Radio: 5.09.05.30_2
Actually my device was unlocked but branded with UK O2 and loaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair). I used GOLDCARD procedure to make the device unbranded and then updated the OS. I also rooted the device using unrevoked 3.21 and it was successful.
Now the last thing I want to do is to change the bootanimation and I cant make it work. I am using rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip file to
/system/customize/resources
/data/local
But no luck .. the bootanimation screen remains the same “HTC quietly brilliant”
I am also trying to copy bootanimation.zip file in
/system/media
But after copying the file use to disappear. I cant see you though root explorer. I never checked by using "ls" command. Can you please help me guys

Moved to Q&A as not development

you cant write to /system/ when the device is booted even if your rooted, because we dont have an unlocked spl yet the nand protection prevents it, you need to put your device into recovery, and use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customise/resource/ and if that dosent work try pushing it to /system/media/

ive never come across this error before i found a thread in the hero section about it tho, maybe you should take a look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582378

this seems to be the remedy to your problem acording to that thread
simplyphp said:
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

[Q] [Root] Help running Bin4ry script on Ubuntu 13.04

hi there,
After some hours reading and trying to fix it myself, I have to admin that I need help with rooting my new KFHD8,9 Firmware 8.4.1:
I would rather post in the referring development threads, but I am not allowed to yet. So i am asking here for help
The thing is that all my devices at home are running Linux (Ubuntu 13.04) and I am not trusting the "use-Windows-in-a-VM-and-use-USB-to-root" method
Now I was following the Tutorial from seokhun and decided to use the Bin4ry method to root, because it is delivered with the RunMe-script as a windows-batch and a shell-script.
The android-tools (android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot and android-tools-fsutils) have been successfully installed via apt-get and are working (I can use adb and fastboot to get device information).
When I try to execute the RunMe.sh (have made it executable via chmod +x before) and choose the option 1 it is stuck:
Code:
Make a choice:
Please enter a valid number(1 to x):
1
Checking if I should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode
Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now
Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windows ADB-drivers are installed correctly!
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
The script hangs at the line with the first use of the delivered adb with the wait-for-device parameter (inside the stuff folder).
Code:
mytest() {
echo "Checking if I should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode"
echo "Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now"
echo "Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windows ADB-drivers are installed correctly!"
./stuff/adb wait-for-device
./stuff/adb pull /system/app/Backup-Restore.apk . > NUL
./stuff/adb pull /system/bin/ric . > NUL
If I run my installed version of adb it terminates successfully with
Code:
adb wait-for-device
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
[email protected]: ...
But when I call the delivered adb inside the stuff folder it never terminates:
Code:
../Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v30/stuff$ ./adb wait-for-device
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
has anybody a clue?

Its me again
I am wondering if i can exchange the delivered ADB with my installed and Working ADB.
If it can be replaced, why is it delivered for Windows and Linux and why most tutorials set them AS requirement proceeding :what:

Create a live usb with persistent must be an 8 gig usb flash drive for maximum persistent. Use this creator http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ . Use linux mint maya the mate one with codecs 32bit http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=105. Boot it and use this script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162973 . That is all you will need good luck. You can use 32bit ubuntu12.04 as well the reason to use these distros is that the newer ones don`t run soupkit installer properly in a terminal it makes the installation much cleaner I have been able to force install on some of the later distros but it`s a serious pain in the rear.

thanks for your reply!
I will try it with Ubuntu 12.04 the next days!

worked fine with Ubuntu 12.04. Thank you very much for the hint!

can you please tell me where to place the downloaded fire water file for adb to recognize it?

Needs to be in the same folder where the adb and fastboot files are located.

Not at all necessary, but just easier. If you place both the binaries and the image in the same folder, and you cd into that folder to run one of the binaries, then you have no problem. Otherwise you have to type the complete pathname of the binary and/or the image.

1. Try to run from folder without spaces (rename "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to adb and move to C
2. After this, run cmd as administrator, and run command "adb devices". Do You see your device?

If so, please make sure that your device is listed as MahmudS already mentioned.

If you have the BIN files in the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder, try renaming them to something simple like "update.bin".
Maybe check the MD5 sum of the downloaded files, but I doubt that ALL 5 (or more) of the downloaded files are corrupted...

renamed many times .. same error ...
anything to do with SDK FILES ?

SDK is not needed for this to work, drivers alone are sufficient but it's also not a problem if you have an Android SDK installed.
I assume both operating systems are "clean" enough, so nothing else could interfere with the process. Use USB 2.0 ports for connecting, USB 3.0 is problematic sometimes with these things...
If you have a bootable windows live for a USB drive, you could try it from there...
