I can install apps from pc using fastboot?
Moved. Please don't post in the wrong topic....especially on Christmas day when I have better things to do than read pms about wrong topics.
Please read this post and do not post anything further in the Development section unless you have something to share. Continued attempts to ask questions there will result in restrictions to your ability to post.
To answer your question though, you can use the following to install app remotely
Code:
adb install app.apk

Keep trying to run this as administrator on my windows 7 64 bit machine.
Error always pops up (even in compatibility mode) that it can't run as adbwinapi.dll is missing.
I installed the latest Android sevelopment sdk along with the needed java files.
Also went into system ` securty and changed to command line to look for this file as I found on another thread.
Any suggestions?
Yup...antivirus was OFF.
You must unzip the revolutionary tool and files into the same location, that is all
next time please post in the right location

ok first thing is why would you make up a thread for this... Why not just ask in the root thread... This is the development section not Q&A....
Ok now for your help.. here is an easy suggestion try it on another pc... since many people have said they have it working with your same setup. If not try and download files again and run... Please next time just check where your posting things.. You will be helped a lot faster if ask your questions in the right area... Just a little fyi for you
i'm very sorry for the noob post, folks. but i am a complete virgin when it comes to anything android related, especially rooting. the info i'm looking for is likely posed already, but honestly, i dont even know where to look.
that said, i just got a Kindle Fire and I want to root it.
i downloaded KFU and when i click on the drivers install file i get this message:
"' and' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. the syntax of the command is incorrect."
after that i get a screen indicating "Google,Inc. (WinUSB)..." followed by "Install Failed (unsigned)"
what the heck does any of that mean and how do i fix it??
thank you all in advance, looking forward to an answer to my problem.

Your post is actually in the wrong section... it should be in Q&A.
I suggest you read this...

Post #2 has information on how to install drivers and verify they are working correctly.
Post #3 has information on the commands you need to know to root and a link to a HOW-TO guide.

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]HTC EVO 4G[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I root my phone....?[/SIZE]There are many simple ways to root the EVO 4G. Below are some of the guides that cover this topic:
[/URL].
[SIZE=+1]Q2: What does S-OFF/S-ON mean....?[/SIZE]On HTC devices, the manufacturers enables a security flag on the Nand memory. When you root your phone, you are only given access over the system, meaning that you can flash custom firmware. However, this NAND-lock prevents you from flashing unsigned images to restricted partitions including, but varying by HTC device, the boot partition (where the kernel and other information is stored), the recovery partition, the radio partition, and sometimes others. So due to this NAND-lock, fully rooting an HTC device typically includes gaining S-OFF on said device in order to have full control over the device, be able to update radios/modems as they come out, and other [usually] essentials.
[SIZE=+1]Q3 What is a logcat and how do I get one....?[/SIZE]TODO
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What is fastboot/bootloader mode....?[/SIZE]
On some Android devices there is a "fastboot" mode by which custom firmware can be flashed after unlocking the device (root). The bootloader is a part of the boot sequence that provides access to fastboot and recovery mode, as well as the normal system. Note that using most fastboot commands requires a rooted/unlocked device.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a recovery....?[/SIZE]
A recovery is an OS-like portion of the device that lives on its own partition. This specific design is a product of Android itself that allows updating of the device. When a custom recovery is installed, custom firmware packages (not released by the carrier/manufacturer) can be flashed to the device, as well as other packages.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: Where can I learn to dev....?[/SIZE]
There are MANY good places to get started. In my personal opinion, you should read through the entire xda-university site, as well as searching around on XDA and reading whatever catches your eye. I cannot stress enough how important reading and understanding is. Some other good places to look include the following, in no particular order:

Note that the above is by no means a complete or full list of resources.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: What is ADB and how do I use it....?[/SIZE]
ADB is a tool for interfacing with your Android device. It can be incredibly useful for debugging ROMs and fixing soft-bricks.

Hey brother great idea,i have something you might can use.
What is Logcat:The Android logging system provides a mechanism for collecting and viewing system debug output. Logs from various applications and portions of the system are collected in a series of circular buffers, which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages.
How To LogcatExample)Open your terminal app;Type: logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt (this should create it in internal memory on the phone)To send to ext sd card: logcat > /mnt/external_sd/logcat.txt.
Thats one way of doing it,theres a guide on how to use ADB to take a logcat... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798316
Q&A for [LWX49K&LDZ22D] Rooting made easy
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [LWX49K&LDZ22D] Rooting made easy. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
being able to simply copy and paste music to the watch would be awesome !
is there a way to undo or uninstall the supersu?
can't root
After reboot to bootloader, I see on device white screen with text "Running Fastboot" and I can't do anymore with device, only reboot manually from button. Please help to root.
So, rooting instructions are a bit confusing because there are the computer instructions and device instructions. This is how it works here.
Reboot to fastboot on your computer
Fastboot boot twrp.zip on computer
Adb push root files.zip on computer
Install root.zip in twrp on the watch
That should do it.
I'm stuck at fastboot too, I just get waiting for device on the terminal. I can boot into fastboot but can't boot the img
There is a lot of discussion about the m8s here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
That thread involves different ROMs, returning to a locked bootloader and lots of other stuff. I found it hard to search through it and obtain the information I needed to root my device. Because of that I thought I would make this post. I hope it is of some use to people. Thanks to posters who helped me out on previous threads.
To root your device
You will need fastboot installed on your computer. On a linux machine this will probably be easiest by installing android-tools. On a windows machine you can install htc-fastboot linked to from the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
- unlock your bootloader following instructions on htc-dev.com [you will have to register for an account]
- download twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img [linked to from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...c-one-m8s-t3114245/post62216780#post62216780]
- download the latest SuperSU beta [http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133]
- obtain a flashable version of busybox from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929852 [I chose the Stericsson one]
- copy both SuperSU and busybox .zip folders to your phone
- From the folder on you have download twrp to on your computer execute the following command [on linux machine]
Code:
sudo fastboot boot twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img
- once in TWRP install SuperSU and then busybox
And that's it. You now have a rooted Stock rom .
Thank you wageslave. I also found the thread somewhat confusing and appreciate your summary here. I was wondering if you could answer me this: Since you "just" root and continue to use your stock rom, will your stuff still be on the phone after rooting (independently of your answer here, I'll do a backup).
2)
Thank you wageslave, this should be stickied.
Not to hijack, but I have a related question I've tried asking a few times but has gone unanswered. Given the limited internal storage on the M8S (16GB, but let's face it, it's actually 9GB), I've been trying to use Link2SD to link apps onto a 64GB MicroSD card.
After a successful root, I seem to be hitting a wall. Link2SD fails to mount the second partition (ext4) at boot, and even when a quick reboot fixes that problem, it fails again when I try to install apps to the external sd.
I presume this is mostly to dow ith not being able to S-Off, would this be correct?
If so, are there any other ways to get around this? I see someone mentioning on another thread that you need to disable System Write Protection, but I can't find a guide to doing this relating to the M8S.
I haven't yet installed BusyBox, I will this evening.
Thanks for any help and advice!
I was also pretty confused..
So you are saying that with your method I don't have to think about that RUU thing?
I can just use the twrp and flash it using cmd?
Hi, I'd love to use twrp on my M8s, however, the twrp link doesn't work for me (the ruu.lalleman site).
Is there anyone kind enough to make the img downloadable through something like Google drive or Dropbox? That'd be so cool, I've been searching for days to find a working custom recovery.
