ADB without admin rights? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yo,
is there any way of sideloading or getting ADB to a PC where I have no admin rights? For root, sideloding, etc.
I'd also like to install Nexus root toolkit
Thanks :highfive:

[Q] 'adb root' not working - answer inside

Hy,

My desire is rooted by Unrecovered 3 and i installed the new Superuser app. I am S-OFF, lates busybox is running and su in adb shell works. but i don't know why adb root didn't and what to do...
asked google, tried some of the 'answeres' -> nop
Its my first post but i am not a totaly newby
If someone knows what i have missed or have an idea, you are wellcome
Edit:
Ok, my fault - dont understut what "adb cannot run as root in production builds" means...
Have to be in the recovery, not booted up to Android (production build),
in recovery adb starts automaticly as root...

I'm not sure what the command 'adb root' does, but have you mounted system, data etc....

Is mounted, and everythink i whant to do works exept root for adb.
I like to try out the Android Commander, but it wont get root.
Superuser App asked me and I gave it the root permission but i have checkt out that i have no root for adb. I dont undersant why. Dont noticed it till yet cause did everything with Terminal Emu on my desire, su - remound ops ... everything works. As i understand 'adb root' should restard adb with root permision so you can use the privileged adb commands and that seams to be necesary for android commander to do his job.
Any Ideas why it dont work?

have S-OFF but no root access

I have S-OFF but now temp root visionary won't work for me and I can't get root access. Can only $ using adb so I can't push files. Any help would be apperciated
Try the method in the Wiki - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
You should still be able to push files via adb though, I don't understand your comment about getting $ with adb (don't do an "adb shell" before you run "adb push", adb is a command for running on your PC, not your phone).
Same here. I did the wiki instructions. but /data/local/root gave me the cp:not found
and /su no a directory. visionary doesnt work. and rage never works right. my "root shell" doesnt let me do su. i think i might have no su. i'm really confused why this wont work. I've done four factory resets trying the rage method and the visionary method. I have S-OFF but nothing else as far as I can tell.
EDIT: I've read a bunch of threads on this and still can't find a solution
I've read in the Rage thread that there were issues with Visionary seeing root access. I would honestly give rage another shot. It worked brilliantly for me, you just have to have ADB configured first.
I did. i get temp root but gfree wont work. i have cid and sim unlock and s off but not system r/w. and when i run /data/local/tmp/root. also my phone will randomly restart now.

I tried this and it didn't work for me.
Can I reflash somehow to the stock rom? I think visionary somehow messed up my phone.
I reflashed to 1.12 and rage worked!
So if visionary has messed up your /su you need to reflash to stock because your /system is messed up.

How do you install ADB?

Every root method seems to require you have ADB installed yet nowhere seems to tell you where to get ADB or how to use it.
Any help?
Try superoneclick or zergrush - they include adb and you dont have to do anything.
ADB can be downloaded from the android sdk.

Yes, i dont know why it doesnt work!
Rooting on a mac is pretty simple and much of the same process in the command window as a PC, the only major difference I encounter is that in terminal once you CD into your fastboot and adb folder is that a ./ is required for both adb and fastboot, so the commands are ./adb and ./fastboot. Hope that helps.

[Q] Unable to perform any su commands in adb shell

FireTV, Fire OS 5.0.5 (537174420) (developer preview)
I have tried every guide, I can push apps and install via adb, and I can access shell via adb, but I can't perform any su commands in the shell, it says su not found, or no permission etc for other commands, so I can't manually upgrade/downgrade or do anything as everything has one of these commands in there at some point, anyone know what I need to do to unlock this? I've currently just reset it to factory defaults for now. Also I've tried kingroot and tr and they both won't root/unlock the device.
Thanks in advance,
para

I just ran into the same issue on both of my boxes the last couple days. Im not sure why I cant get root access either but the good thing is the disabling of the OTA updates sticks after you command it, regardless if you lose root. What I did was just re flash the pre rooted ROM. Kind of a pain but it only takes a couple mintues. After I did that, root access was back!
