what does our phone have to be in to use adb? ive never used it before but want to to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader and losing my info. is it rebooted in adx mode? just turned on normally? off?
thanks!
You cannot root without unlocking the bootloader! To access adb you need to be in OS and have debugging enabled under Developer options in the settings.

you already answered my question to be in the OS with debugging enabled! thanks!
You could re-lock the bootloader though if you ever wish to unroot your phone...
my computer wont allow me to recognize my gnexus using adb. im following these steps - http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-set-up-the-sdk-for-galaxy-nexus
and i know i have already installed the dirvers previously, but when i use the cmd prompt, my computer does not find my device whatsovever. tried uninstalling it from device manager, but it just reinstalled it when i plugged it in with the MTP drivers already on my computer.
does anyone have any suggestions? i did remember to leave usb debugging on.
thanks!
after rebooting, i tried this in cmd

ive managed to get the toolkit to install fastboot drivers, but ADB drivers still are not installed and adb does not recognize my phone. fastboot does see it but adb doesnt. ive uninstalled all the drivers and tried the nexus toolkit, pdanet and manual installation but for some reason, i cannot get it to install adb drivers or even recognize that it is an option. does anyone have any suggestions?

So there's nothing listed if you input :
adb devices
You are connected via usb with debugging enabled?
Edit: could you also open up device manager in windows and have a look if the device is listed

usb is enabled.
nothing is listed under ADB, but there is my serial number listed under fastboot. I uninstalled all drivers the toolkit and the SDK. I am going to try the toolkit again now that everything is been uninstalled. The device will be listed in Windows but usually without the ADB driver listed, however the fastboot driver is listed.
now that I tried using the toolkit,
I still had the same problem with no ADB but fastboot was the listed. Then I went to uninstall the drivers through the toolkit and I got an error message saying that they remove failed three times and that no device was removed. However the device still exists under portable devices in the device manager. I am going to uninstall the toolkit after removing the drivers and remove all the drivers from the device manager and then try using just the SDK to route the phone.
after using the toolkit, I am now getting Samsung ADB interface driver installed on my computer. However the toolkit cannot access or realize that ADB is connecting to my phone. I do have USB debuggingenabled. I might try using the SDK to manuallyto connect to it.
fixed the problem. i plugged my phone in directly to the computer instead of through a usb splitter. got it rooted via this post

I had it all set up correctly and it worked fine both by USB and TCPIP. At some point in the last day or two this stopped working. I've done a complete reinstall of the SDK on my desktop and followed the instructions here https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/docs/setup
When I do adb devices I just get nothing. adb connect xx.xx.xx.xx gives nothing as well.
When I try to run adb from a terminal emulator on the unit I can start or stop the server but any other adb command results in a 'device not found' message. This message is preceded by some two or three digit word but since my TV crops the image I cannot tell what it says. so it is something like '##r: device not found'
Does anyone have any idea on what I need to do to get ADB working again?
Look in your system settings and make sure the ouya is still being recognized. I haven't used adb since the recent updates, but perhaps something changed causing your computer to no longer see it or caused the drivers to fail.

There aren't any drivers involved here yet. Nothing happens at all when I plug the system in. No devices are detected, correctly or otherwise.
I'm starting to think the micro usb port is just physically broken. I've tried multiple cables, restarting. Connecting other android devices to my desktop which work fine.
could be the port. I have a heck of a time plugging mine in sometimes. it's like the hole in the casing is just a bit bigger than the actual plug, and I have to fumble around for it. I mostly leave the microusb connected all the time now.
Oh!lol.
That happened to me as well. The micro usb port is deeper than normal. My Samsung plugs did not work,I was able to use one from my Kodak pocket video cam.

If you have wireless adb enabled the way to control it so it does not shut down the micro usb port debugging , find the wireless adb .Apk here on xda in the nook color general section and install it then you will beable to open the app and toggle it back and forth to get micro usb debugging back.
My Ouya has done the same thing. Its not hardware but factory reset does not seem to do anything. I have tried several cables , 2 pcs and its the same story all across. MTP connection works fine. ADB , the Ouya thinks its in ADB but nothing is recognized by the pc. Not failed driver install. As soon as you turn debugging on, the Ouya effectively vanishes from the pc.
Alas I did not get as far as putting a file manager on so can not side load anything. Without ADB as well. Well i'm screwed. Not keen on trying to send it back as already got hit for an extra £16.64 by customs, and with the launch the teams are going to be swamped.
I'm convinced its a file permission issue of some sort. But no CWM, ADB , File Manager or Recovery that I have manged to find yet. Well for now at least im stumpped.
Any ideas?

I had done but. But it stopped working some time after, and I have not managed to get it going since. Would it stop wired at the same time? Even so would it not have been reset by the factory reset?
Either way, Ill set it with an ethernet cable and see if the flaky wifi was why adb over wifi did not work.
I'm sure a workable solution will turn up. Just disappointed.
Ill report back.
Thanks
Update: Thanks for your help. I tried over wifi and no joy. But ethernet is working. So just got to sort out the flakey wifi now.
Thanks again.
Some people report having better luck connecting Wi-Fi with the native android settings found in the manage area.

For anyone who committed to wireless ADB method, and currently stuck without ADB access or su priveledge, the Play Store has a wireless ADB app called "ADB Wireless (no-root)" by Sherdle. Sideload this puppy and you'll be able to toggle the wireless/wired ADB connection!

They changed the device ID, you need to do step 5-6.

I did a "factory reset", this seems to have been a poor choice.
After the reset, I could still get onto the device via wireless adb, but su would return "permission denied". Today there was an automatic system upgrade, now I've lost the ability to connect to it via wireless adb or adb over USB.
Any hints would be wonderful.

I don't know too much about adb, but I'll try to help
does your ADB detect the OUYA when you do "adb devices" when plugged in?
Either way, my advice would be to delete the OUYA drivers from your computer and reinstall them from scratch and then follow the steps to get adb working as if it never was. I haven't tried my adb since todays update, but I also don't use it for any reason.
I just turned on my console and have come to the conclusion that the automatic update broke su. How, i'm not sure, but it would seem that possibly you'll have to restart the process from scratch, redo adb and reload su.
lets just hope this isn't a sign that all future automatic updates will break su.
*EDIT* So it would seem that there is problems with the drivers. I have gotten ADB to work once again by deleting all the OUYA drivers from my computer and following the steps found at https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/docs/setup HOWEVER this presents a problem in that the system is only recognized as a adb device and has a broken MTP driver (whatever that is, maybe someone else will know). Maybe this is how it's supposed to be, I don't know, I don't remember seeing anything like that the first time.
After getting ADB back, I got SU back by running through the steps found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266 under how to install busybox, superuser, and su binaries. You should only have to go from step 1 to 4 on that one (only 4 if you still have the files on your computer).
I will note that the steps to get ADB on that second link did NOT work this second time. I'm not sure what this is due to. I'll be starting a new thread with this info, too.

Hard boot the OUYA and laptop, adb via USB seems to work again.
So far every OTA has removed su.

I unlocked, and rooted my nexus 7 using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Everything was good until, after a few days, I tried turning on my device but got stuck on the "X" loading screen. After googling for a bit, I figured a factory reset would do the trick. I tried to factory reset the device in TWRP, but was confused by the two buttons and accidentally wiped everything (in adv wipe with everything checked).
Now the next problem is that I don't have USB debugging enabled (I recall turning it off for some reason). When i run "adb devices", nothing comes up and so i can't push anything to the device (and everything is wiped). Is there a command i can run, or file i can edit while in TWRP recovery mode to enable it? It seems i can't do anything without it enabled.
I did the same thing. This will help you get back to square one.

Regarding how to most quickly get you back up and running, it is probably easier to just flash the stock images as mentioned above.
Regarding your adb issue, if you can boot into TWRP and are using a known good USB 2.0 port (sometimes 3.0 gives issues), then adb should already be running (ie what usb debugging enables is running)
You probably don't have drivers installed for adb running under recovery. The regular drivers don't work.
See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236
The ADB drivers from SDK is only for when in Bootloader and booted into ROM for needing USB Debugging. This is the driver you need in addition to what you have you've already installed to use ADB while in recovery otherwise you will see "Flo" under Unknown Devices in your computer Device Manager.
Thank you everyone. The new drivers and restore guide worked perfectly.
I have got my device to be recognized by my PC but adb will not work ... Can anyone provide help on how to make it work?
When you plug the phone into the PC, pull down the notification area and change the USB options from Charging to Transfer Files.

Did your phone prompt you to allow the computers fingerprint ? If not toggle debugging a few times till it does.
You have updated sdk and driver's ?

I'm not talking about fingerprint protection, when you switch to other modes aside form Charing when you have USB debugging turned on, if will prompt you to accept the computers fingerprint, meaning make alterations to your device.
You need to allow that, and if you're not getting that prompt, update your sdk tool, drivers, u install the drivers, reinstall them, try a different cable/USB port/ computer. Pretty much do all the basic trouble shooting.
My device was very picky about what port I could use

I hope someone still sees this post. I have a friends Google Pixel XL that I was able to revive from a bootloop by sideloading the latest OTA. Upon starting up, my friend forgot his screenlock passcode. I've been trying everything to get the device recognized in bootloader mode on my pc. It keeps showing up blank. I am trying to use ADB to bypass the unlock code. If anyone has an idea how I can get into this phone BEFORE I reset it, that would be very appreciated! It is not rooted and no unlocked bootloader.

You have to enable USB Debugging in settings in order to delete the unlock code. Unfortunately, you can't because he forgot it. You can try booting TWRP on the device using fastboot and see if you can delete the unlock code's key file using TWRP's file manager, but the reality here is that you likely will have to reset. Hope your friend didn't use a throwaway email address when setting up the device.
