Generating a new adb key - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place (but only place I can post) I've been trying to root my phone in order to install TWRP on my Pixel XL, in order to do so I need to unlock my bootloader.
Now this won't work as in ADB it shows my device as unauthorised, and I've tried everything! Revoking permissions USB debugging, rebooting, the other solution involces deleteing the adb key in .android, but my only .android folder is under c:\\users\MyName\.android and has no adbkey here, only 3 folders -> avd, cache and studio, all of these being empty!
I'm at a real loss to authorise my device so I can continue to root my device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Have tried to delete the whole .android folder ? and do you have the latest adb / fastboot files. but to unlock your bootloader you actualy dont need adb just fastboot ?

After revoking permissions did you kill and restart the adb server:
adb kill-server
adb start-server

Not sure if the link will work but try these this is straight from Google

When I run the "adb shell" commad I get the following:
C:\adb>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device unauthorized.
This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
Not sure if this helps at all

Thank you so much! Running adb using the attached link caused me to get the pop up to approve the RSA. And is now showing as authorised. THank you!

ADB not seeing Evo

Sorry if this is a repost. But hopefully someone can help me out. I'm fully rooted, full nandroid unlock.full 100 yeards. Now this morning I was going to do the process for "Permanently replacing your recovery with ClockworkMod Recovery Image"
But for some strange reason, ADB doesn't see my Evo. I tried running "Command prompt" as administrator also and it wasa no go. I typed "adb devices" and my device wasn't listed like it was yesterday before I did a full nandroid Unlock.
Do anyone have any tips on how I can resolve this issue?
If this helps, I running the Bugless Beast Rom.
Thanks
You might have forgotten a step or two.
Open cmd
Type cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ or wherever your sdk tools folder is.
Then it should work.
thanks. I'll give that a try and reply back
Strange thing....before I rooted/flashed a rom I created a Nandroid backup (I think it was stock. It doesn't have Superuser Permission in my list of Apps). Well I reverted back to that nandroid backup and now ADB sees my Evo.
I will flash back to my previous rom and trywhat you posted. Hopefully tat'll work

Yeah, I tried what you suggested and itstill didn't see my Evo. I guess my only option is to revert back, then do the process.
Sometimes you need to restart the adb server. Try the following:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb shell
If you get a '#' then you're in.
I'm having same issues and it's not working. My device is not being seen. Do you I have to have the Evo in charging mode or Disk Mode?

or, you could just try
adb kill-server
adb start-server
lol
then check with
adb devices
seriously though, you may have put on a bad image. did you check the md5 hash? if not, do. there are threads around here on how to do that, if you are using windows. i don't have the link, because linux just has a command for it.
Try doing:
killall adb
sudo -s
adb devices
You must run adb as root on ur pc

What do you mean that I must run adb as root on my pc, i don't know what that mean. Do you mean run it by using the "Command prompt" program?
Also this only happens to me on the Bugless Beast Roms. When I revert back to my 1st nandroid backup that I was using before I flashed any rom, everything worked fine.
Is USB debugging enabled?

Thanks ...that fixed it! I enabled it typed "adb devices" and it showed up. thanks again!
No problem, glad you got it working! When I first started out I ran in to that trap over-and-over. Now I just make it a rule of thumb to turn it on after flashing and leave it on.
Have fun!
I would have started another thread, but this is basically a similar problem to the one I had at first with adb.
Ok...I was trying to install a rosie.apk that was in a zip format. Long story short, the OP informed me that he made a mistake and provided me the wrong information as to reinstalling the rosie.apk. He was giving me steps to "push it" via adb, instead of flashing it.
No problem to Poster and thanks for help if you reading this . But anyways after all that, When I open up "Cmd" and type anything with adb in front of it...adb devices, adb shell..., i get the message that adb is not recognized as a internal or external command. Before this incident happened i was able to just type "adb devices" and my Evo would show.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
By the way I also tried typing all the commands in the previous posts...and I get the same error message.
**Update** I got it working I had to redo the path. All is good now.
Thanks much!
You need to be in the tools directory of the sdk so cmd can find the adb command.

[Q] Temporary Nand Unlock

How do you gain temporary nand unlock? All i wanted to do is copy 2 files into the /system/xbin/bb which doesnt seem to work with root explorer despite super user permission, copy paste just wont work.
Any ideas how to copy paste these 2 files without going to full s-off? Would the adb method work? or any other apk that can do the job?
Thanks in advance for those who can help and any tips is very much appreciated.
In recovery with adb.

any links to it? a guide perhaps? thanks for the tip.
Make a nandroid before messing with the system partition.
Then:
Code:
adb remount
adb push <file_name> /system/xbin/bb
This is what i think it is just looking at the basic adb commands, here is some more info about moving stuff to the system partition.

btw, how do i get to adb with recovery?
You do know that adb is part of the android sdk and not some function/app on the phone?
To get adb working (i hope you already installed it) just boot in to recovery, connect the usb cable, and launch adb via command prompt or terminal.

Ok I did my best, read alot about adb and followed some tips but I just cant seem to get these things working. I need a DETAILED step by step procedure.
I feel such a noob today, can anyone please help?
Basically, I just wanted to copy "ifconfig" and "route" from "/system/xbin" to "system/xbin/bb" and thats it! Im s-on by the way and dont want a full s-off just to copy paste 2 files.
I tried rebooting in recovery with adb and run some commands on "adb shell", many things came out and I have no idea what it ment.
Well many things came out is not such a great description. So i have no idea if something is wrong or something happened which you did not expect.
Boot again in to recovery and connect adb.
The type "adb devices" this should output something like:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT##########
If this does not happen you don't have a connection and most likely have driver issues (only if you are on windows). If you do get a connection next thing to do is mount the system partition as read/write. To do this type "adb remount".
The output should be "remount succeeded"
Next type "adb shell"
This should give "#" as output .
Since you know where the files are and where you want them to go type "mv /system/xbin/ifconfig /system/xbin/bb" and hit enter, you don't get any conformation about this. Next type "mv /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb"
To check if they go moved correctly type " ls /system/xbin/bb", now you should see the files listed.
Next type "exit" to end the adb shell.
Then type "adb reboot".
If this doesn't work you need to give more info about the errors you get or maybe someone else has a better description.
A completly other method is, if you are able to copy the files to your computer, useing the .zip mercianary linked to, just make sure the system/app folder is empty and that you make the system/xbin/bb folder and place the files in there. Then just follow the instructions.

Hallo!
You may have adb errors such as: cannot connect to daemon. This is a common problem beginners commonly forget. Also MAKE SURE you have installed android sdk
If you get adb error like :
adb server is out of date * killing***
daemon still not running
error:cannot connect to daemon

That means your device can't be found in adb.
Simply:
1) Make sure USB debugging is on
Found in Settings>Applications>Development
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Make sure you have YOUR PHONES DRIVERS INSTALLED.
They can be installed via HTC Sync.

3) Still not working? Instead of using the USB option Charge Only/Disk Drive.

permission denied ?????????

If you use Linux and get permission denied ????????? at execution of adb devices, switch to su and execute:
Code:
[B][I][U][COLOR="DarkOrange"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]adb kill-server
(be sure the path to the adb directory is inside the .Bashrc file or CD to the right directory)
adb start-server[/FONT][/COLOR][/U][/I][/B]
Afterwards you can exit to normal shell and use it like ever.

One addidonal thing,
if you are an linux user and get permission denied ????????? at execution of adb devices, switch to su and execute:
Code:
adb kill-server
(be sure the path to the adb directory is inside the .bashrc file or cd to the right directory)
adb start-server
to start the adbd in su context, afterwards you can exit to normal shell and use it like ever.
It's not as trivial as you say. I had the out of date daemon error while trying to update my phone with the 2.3.5 European RUU by football. The solution was to uncompress the RUU and replace the ADB executable and dll's with updated ones from the Android SDK I had installed. It had nothing to do with USB connections or settings. Probably the RUU wasn't prepared for Windows 7 x64 SP1... I guess.

Thank you for the nice thread, for updating it quickly and for crediting me too.
It's great when several experiences are compiled in a way that might help many other users.
That's what a community is all about.
My trick is Download Vroot on your Pc and it will install everything you need. (Might replace your current Root Manager if you don't cancel the process of it rooting.) Once you connect your phone to your pc with Vroot it's ask you to install a apk just click okay. Once you see the apk installed wait for it to get a green backrground with wire connected image. Then there you go. Sorry for my Bad English. Hope it Helps.

Did you change the command prompt to the directory where adb/fastboot is located at?
You can also try and download mini-sdk . Unzip it into c:\mini-sdk. Go to folder and hold shift and right inside folder then select open command prompt. See if you can then get adb devices to pick up device.

You have a basic USB connectivity issue, so no adb commands are going to work.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync and any HTC drivers, then re-install HTC Sync.
If it still doesn't work uninstall them all again, then try to plug in the phone. When it tries to install HTC Sync automatically, cancel it. Go to Device Manager (if using Windows) find the device, select the option to install drivers manually and select Generic Android MTP device (or something to that effect).
Also, try a different USB port or cable; even another computer if possible.
