Does anybody have links to, or willing to share the programs needed (Android SDK, Drivers, etc.)? I have been trying to find all the programs, but keep running into dead ends. The Drivers file listed in JoeyKrim's "Basics of ADB" thread are no longer hosted, The ADB files in SDK are missing a lot of files, and I don't know which ones I need. In place of the files, is a Notepad Readme which I Copy/Pasted here:
Welcome to the Android SDK!
The Android SDK archive now only contains the tools. It no longer comes
populated with a specific Android platform or Google add-on. Instead you
use the SDK Manager to install or update SDK components such as platforms,
tools, add-ons, and documentation.
In order to start developing applications, you must install at least one
version of the Android platform using the SDK Manager.
This requires an Internet connection, so if you plan to use the SDK
offline, please make sure to download the necessary components while online.
To start the SDK Manager, please execute the program "SDK Setup.exe".
Any help would be appreciated...
if you've downloaded the SDK from devlopers.android.com (i think is the url) then load it up and download everything that offers, so that you can make some android emulators for local testing.
then get yourself an IDE for programming in, eclipse has a nice plugin for android development, i use it myself. its a bit dated as an ide, but its nice.
once you have that youre done.
you can either use the emulator to test your code or actually run it on your android device if its connected.
good luck.
That's where the problem comes in. When I try to install the Android SDK, it doesn't have anything available. It has a "Readme" File that says you need to manually download the necessary add-ons. I don't know what add-ons to download. Also, the driver files that joeykrim references in his "Basics of ADB" thread have been removed from the servers, so I don't have access to them.
When I Rooted my EVO, I used Jiqqaman's 3 click "Simple Root", which loads the Clockwork Recovery. I would like to learn how to do some of the things myself, since other than changing ROM's, there isn't much that can be done without the correct programs (Pushing/pulling apks from the phone, some of the diagnostics need to be done from a shell, etc.)

did you even read the README file? its right there.
run the SDK setup.exe -> available packages, and go get what you need.
then look up getting android development working in eclipse.
Welcome to the original thread, of Beatsleigher's Root Helper!!
This program is completely free, with no Xtra options for donators...
What this program will do:Well this program is designed for beginners, and advanced users. It has several modes; If you like to do everything yourself, then Ok, you can. If however you want Windows to do everything, it will.
If you need to setup ADB drivers, then follow the steps, in the ADB -> Help menu!!
List of features:Several Reboot options,
Backup/Restore
Unlock bootloader (fastboot)
Relock bootloader (fastboot)
Root (ADB+fastboot)
Flash recovery (fastboot)
All-in-one solutions
Complete make over, now using a GUI!
Very explicit detailing of what the program is currently doing!
Install drivers - (USB + ADB/fastboot drivers)
List of ROMs/kernels
Help menus
What's to expect:In-program E-Mail subscription, to get notified about updates.
Better IE Engine for XDA Link.
Context menus, for faster checking of radiobuttons.
Maybe adding an advert or two. Because I am now slowly but surely needing more money, for phones, so that I can program programs like this, for them.
Maybe re-add the main menu music. But, with music, that is a bit more calming... And not House ^^
A fully functional fastboot menu.
A user experience program, so I can collect feedback!!
Working progressbars.... (-.-")
FAQ:Q:When installing the drivers, why do I need to change my system configuration?
A:You need to configure your machine, to notice the device, but to leave it alone, instead of looking for, and downloading drivers for it. This just confuses the computer, meaning you can't do anything in the bootloader, because Windows Update doesn't yet have the needed drivers...
Q: Why have you gone over to making a GUI? The batch files, were just fine...
A: I'm going over to making a GUI, because it is easier to use, less work. And I have the option, to just, drag & drop a button, write two lines of code, to make the button functional and then it's just a matter of creating the batch file, converting it to an EXE. Easy as pie. Whereas, with the batch files, to create one more option, you have to write 6 lines of code, then the batch file, and then half of the stuff doesn't work properly, because you didn't debug... If you know, what I mean...
Q: Why are there so many files???
A: This program needs so many files, so it can perform different processes/options/tasks
. But it isn't hard, to find out, what file, does which job
Q: Why is there only a version for windows??
A: I am working on a version, for Mac users, but it will take some time. I'm glad to be nearly finished, with the Windows version
Q: I want to donate to you, but you won't allow it. Why?
A: I don't accept any donations, because I only wrote the program to flash files on to your phone... I don't want to take credit for things, that other people did.
Instead of trying to donate to me, donate to chainfire, ChainsDD, and Kousik Dutta; for creating such brilliant recoverys, Apps (like superuser and ROM Manager) and ROMs...
BTW: If you really want to donate (which you won't ), you can send me some albums ^^ I need house music, to work.. And all my songs/albums have been listened dead -.-
Q: Do you mind if I use this program for commercial use, and post videos(tutorials) on Youtube?
A: As long as you DO NOT create mirrors, and let me know, I'm not that fussed... But then please post the link of the video to me, so that I can tell you if I like the way you did it, or not.
Q: When are you gonna stop talking about things, that don't interrest anyone (the FAQ)??
A: Now, but still thx for reading, other good questions will be posted here, aswell...
Thanks:Many thanks to Kouschik Dutta for creating the recoveries for near-to all Android phones. Yo the man!
And not to forget the awsome app: ROM Manager ^^
Thanks to my good friend Accendare (baddinski), for creating the splashscreen. I appreciate it much
Thanks to Google, for creating the AOSP, for the great developers, to create even greater ROMs, for us!
Also, thanks to Google, for buying Android, and making suh a (rather) bug-free OS!!
If I forgot anyone, please let me know immediatly!!
Downloads:
If you want to flash stock firmware, you will need to install this. This contains all the neccessary files/folders you need:
GSM: to be downloaded, by clicking this...
CDMA: to be downloaded here...
Ok, we've done it!! (I've done it...) We've gone out of Alpha.

Now, I'm proud to present; Beatsleigher's Root Helper... VERSION 3.0.0.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Each and every script, has been either re-written, or has just gotten a makeover!!
Everything unneeded, has been removed, It's more compatible, with Windows XP, loading time has gone down!!
I've added a few options, but not that many, to make a big changelog...
To upgrade/update, please, copy ALL the files, you created/copied/moved there, to a safe place, on your hard drive. Then, delete "C:\Beatsleigher_root_helper"
Run the installer (It's contained in an ISO image, so, download PowerISO, should you not ahave an image mounting system...) and done!!

If you want to see more, download it
Installer:The installer will install to your C:\ drive. Some older scripts, are still working with "%homedrive%" so, to make sure, that everything is working, please make sure, that your homedrive is your C:\ drive. Or, if you have a seperate C:\ drive (like me), copy a copy, of the "Beatsleigher_root_helper" folder, to your homedrive. Then it should do the trick. By the tiome, the program is released properly (full) all scripts should be working with "C:\".
Should you have NOT got a C:\ drive, because your homedrive is named differently/you deleted the C:\ partition, see: installation help.
EDIT: The installer has been split in two!! They are both in an ISO image... Once mounted, the secondary installer will run (setup.exe). Just open the virtuall CD-ROM, and run "Install.exe"
Requests:If you have any requestes (features, etc.), please PM me, or send me an E-Mail!!
Or, visit: This page

Installation help:
Not much can go wrong, when install9ing this program.
Mostly, the reasons, of failure, to use this program, are due to:
Not having a C:\ drive.
Not copying a copy of the root folder, to hamedrive, if C:\ is not the homedrive, of your windows machine.
Tutorial 1:
Problem: I installed the program, but my homedrive is not C:\. I installed to C:\, but I can't use half of the program.
Well, first of all; sorry, for this. I could of said this earlier... I forgot to edit the scripts, to use ONLY the C:\ drive, so it useshalf the C:\ drive, and half your homedrive. But, that's why I posted this tutorial.
It's quick & easy ^^
Tutorial:
Install the program, to your C:\ drive. Close the installer, and re-open it.
Once back in the installer, set the installation path to your homedrive (Where Windows is installed).
Install to that directory, and done
It should now work ^_^
Tutorial 2:
Problem, I don't have a C:\ drive, and the ROM-Full/Less version, isn't available for download... What to do??
This is also no problem!! With a few, simple clicks of your mouse, we will fix this minor problem
Tutorial:
Type following key-combination, on your keyboard; START(WIN)+R.
The "Run" prompt should now pop up.
In the RUN prompt, type: "diskmgmt.msc" and it enter.
Once the disk manager pops up, shrink your homedrive(or, if you have unalocated disk space, which is 3GB or more, right click on that)
Shrink your homedrive, about 3GB. If you can, allocate more space, because you will need quite some space, because of stock ROMs/custom ROMs/kernels and backups.
To shrink, right-click on the partition and select "Shrink Volume". Enter this amount, to shrink: 3072 MB, that should be 3GB. Like I said, feel free to allocate more space.
Now you should see a black field. This is unallocated disk space. Right click on this space and select" Create simple partition" Make sure, you create the exact space, you shrunk, other wise, you will have some unallocated space, on your HDD and this can cause problems, if unnoticed.
Name the partition : C:. Wait, for the Diskman. to create the partition (can take up to 5 Minutes, for that amount of space, depending on size of HDD, CPU clock speed and amount of RAM).
Now, just install Beatsleigher's Root Helper to your C:\ drive and again, to your homedrive. Done! You can now use Beatsleigher's Root Helper.
If you should notice any other problems, please let me know, so I can solve them.
EULA:Please read the EULA, should you not have, during installation. Or, you are interested in installing the prgram.
There is vital information, in this text document!
This post will be used for announcing updates and changelogs!
The first update, to be announced here, will contain some CDMA kernels and ROMs... They will all get QR-Codes, so you can download them directly on to your Android, if neccesary!
Only use this package to root your phone and flash recovery!!
The other images/ZIPs are on their way!! Before I get told off, for not telling you this.... I am making a package, that will delete all GSM files!
This reduces size, and no one gets confused!!
Cool. 400mb is the reason I wouldn't download it. Opinions:
Remove the extra crap. Include just your code.
Create a folder /flash and instruct people to just throw stuff in there. Then code your app to read and list the contents of that folder (If that's even possible).
Your program can't be more then a meg or two itself. This way people can just download your tool and flash whatever. It then won't ever be "outdated" with old files. Streamline it and it'll catch on.

I just kept on forgetting, to update this thread. But it will be different, from now on
I'm trying to install LineageOS on my old Samsung Galaxy S6 on which I have enabled developer options and USB debugging. I am not an expert in this but have at least made a little progress but I'm not confident and the remaining steps
The following describes the steps I have done so far on my old SONY VAIO laptop with Manjaro Linux installed....
https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html # Installed adb and fastboot
"platform-tools_r28.0.2-linux.zip" # download, extract & configure # done
Setting up "adb" # done, I can see "List of devices" when phone connected
Was able to boot phone into recovery mode, "Android Recovery" text only menu is displayed. I was not able to select and "Reboot to bootloader".
Was able to boot phone into "Download-mode" showing "ODIN MODE" top LH of text only screen
I have also installed following sofware on my laptop...
Code:
$ sudo pacman -Syu android-udev # installed OK
$ pamac build heimdall # installed OK
$ sudo heimdall print-pit # this produced a long list of partitions, then
# phone reboots to standard home screen.
$ sudo pacman -Syu android-tools # I decided to install this from stardard repos
# I wasn't sure if this was required or not.
I tried to root my phone following these instructions...
https://www.all-things-android.com/content/how-root-samsung-mobile-device
... and I was able to complete each step successfully until step 22.
... I just didn't get "Flash completed successfully!" message next to the progress bar at Step 22 of instructions.
I did get following message in the Status text area....
Code:

when I click on the first link...
Installation
How to install LineageOS on the Samsung Galaxy S6
I get to this page....
Install LineageOS on zerofltexx
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/zerofltexx/install
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Basic requirements # DONE
2. Preparing for installation # DONE
3. Installing a custom recovery using heimdall # I'M STUCK HERE
4. Installing LineageOS from recovery
5. Get assistance
"Installing a custom recovery using heimdall" states the following instructions....
Download a custom recovery - you can download TWRP. https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/ Simply download the latest recovery file, named something like twrp-x.x.x-x-zerofltexx.img.
NOTE: I found "twrp-3.2.3-0-zeroflte.img" 24.8M 2018-08-04 13:04:34 EDT
which is different from "twrp-x.x.x-x-zerofltexx.img"
Power off the your device and connect the USB adapter to the computer (but not to the device, yet).
Boot into download mode: With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Home + Power.
Accept the disclaimer, then insert the USB cable into the device.
On the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window in the directory the recovery image is located, and type:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-x.x.x-x-zerofltexx.img --no-reboot
$ heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-3.2.3-0-zeroflte.img --no-reboot
NOTE: I haven't done this step yet because the next step is...
Installing LineageOS from recovery
Build a LineageOS install package.
which links to https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/zerofltexx/build
where it talks about "Build LineageOS and LineageOS Recovery"
this looks very complicated for my limited knowledge of both Linux and Android flashing etc.
My questions:
1. Are my steps so far OK, anything missing?
2. Is there an easier way to do this, can I download a package already built, if so, where to go?
3. Phone is still not rooted yet. so is this a problem going forward?
4. Have I installed the correct software packages so far?
Any help / guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know how to handle that in manjaro. Maybe you should try Odin on a windows PC instead.
Do it the EASY way .....
Suggestion - this is SO MUCH EASIER if you use Odin instead. ASSUMING you have a working Odin setup .....
Tick the box to turn off auto re-boot in Odin.
Flash TWRP.
Do the fast shuffle of fingers necessary to do the initial re-boot into TWRP - vol.down+power to reset the phone and then IMMEDIATELY when the screen goes to black vol.up+power+home to boot recovery. Make sure you hold the three keys down or you won't boot into TWRP.
Once you get TWRP in place, you are good to go. If you re-boot into stock recovery it means your fingers were slow or you didn't hold all three keys down. Repeat with faster or more patient fingers as necessary.
Which S6 variant ? If you have the 920F version, for instance, this is as easy as it gets. Some versions of the S6 are a bit more problematic, and it may be difficult or even impossible if you have a Chinese, HK, or USA Qualcomm model (AT&T, etc...) , but for the others, easy as pie as long as you have the correct TWRP file to flash. Check twice, flash once .....
Speaking of Pie, there is a very functional version of Lineage 16 for the S6. Not 100% perfect but getting there and completely useable (for me, anyway) as a daily driver.
On page https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html whatever is written under Linux is beyond my understanding. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and want to root my A7 (2017) with that OS. I have extracted the .zip file namely platform-tools_r30.0.1-linux.zip which doesn't match with the article's 2nd point under Linux, that is Extract it somewhere - for example, ~/adb-fastboot. I do not extracted any folder with name 'adb-fastboot' however I got a folder namely 'platform-tools'.
Now coming to the 3rd point what they mean by Add the following to ~/.profile: which is followed by some commands. Do I need to open some text file namely ".profile" or something and add those commands to it??
And 5th point says You may also need to set up udev rules: see this repository for more info.. So how do I know if I need to set up udev rules? And what are udeve rules in the first place?
I am supposing to root my phone step by step. But it seems very hard. I can't get hold of a Windows PC which seems easy compared to Linux. Also I am not following any guide on XDA Developers because my phone is supported by official Lineage OS website and I am following their instructions.
Hi,
Adb fastboot guide isn't necessary for root on LineageOS. You can find the root addon here https://download.lineageos.org/extras. You'll want to download 16.0 arm64 one.
Just enter your recovery (TWRP) and flash the root addon. Later you can enable it in developer options.
Some users flash magisk (search xda for it) so you can try that too.

Using ADB isnt the "normal" way to root a samsung device.
The preferred method is installing a custom recovery (like TWRP, SHRP or Orangefox) and then simply install magisk in the recovery.
I dont know if its even possible to root through ADB to be honest.
Also, even if your phone is supported by Lineage, that doesnt mean every guide on their website fits perfectly to your device.

Then can you please please tell me how can I root my A7 (2017) with baseband version A720FXXU9CTA2? I also prefer TWRP over any other method because I have used it before but it was near a decade ago and now I have forgotten so much things. It's best if I am given a way to root on Linux (my work computer) otherwise I have to wait or purchase a Windows PC.
(PS: Every forum made for a specific phone on XDA should have an official thread with step by step rooting instructions.)
