can someone help me with adb

ive tried many guides on trying to install adb. i have the drivers installed but nothing is happening when i try to use sdk tools. can anyone help me?

It doesn't really "install," it just resides in a folder on your computer. When you want to use ADB, you just pass the commands through your Windows command prompt (assuming you're using Windows).
Put the Android SDK file in the root of your C: drive. In fact, make it easy and rename it "androidsdk." Inside that is the "tools" folder. Now hit Start - Run - cmd and it will start your command prompt. Then enter "cd c:\androidsdk\tools" (no quotes) and hit enter. Now you're in the ADB directory, just start running ADB commands.
Right?

whatever command i try to type in says its not a recognized internal or external command.

Can you run throught the steps you took?
These are mine:
1. Connect phone and select HTC Sync
2. Make sure you know the location patch to the android-sdk-windows(if you're using windows) folder.
3. Press start........run........then type cmd to open command prompt
4. Type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools(my location, yours will be wherever you extracted the zip file to)
5. Press enter
6. Type adb devices to confirm it sees your phone
7. Type adb shell and you should see a flashing # symbol
8. Start typing commands.

when i connect my phone and try to sync using htc sync it cant find it on my comp.

Do you have USB Debugging turned on?
And by the way, you don't need to set it to HTC Sync. You may have to make sure the drivers are installed correctly (I suggest TheBiles' Idiot-Proof rooting guide for that), but after that it will connect as long as you have debugging mode turned on, even if your phone is set to "Charge Only." I never put mine in "Disk Drive" mode unless I want to drag a file to my SD card, and I've never ONCE used HTC Sync.

ok thank you, so far so good. im busy doing some other work but the adb shell seems to be working. will edit later.

Edit: nvm that.

[GUIDE] Mini guide to root Gnex manually

1. Download and install Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Moblie_Phones_v1_4_6_0.exe
Link to download: http://www.multiupload.co.uk/YXE6FWLFAR
2. Download and install Android SDK (http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r16-windows.zip)
3. With the phone turned OFF, hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN and power the phone on. This will put you in bootloader mode
4. Using windows/cmd go to the folder where Android SDK was installed (make sure that the folder android-sdk/platform-tools/ contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe etc....
5. using windows/cmd go to the folder /android-sdk/platform-tools
From this folder try the command "fastboot devices" (do not include ") which should list the device connected to your PC.
6. First we have to unlock bootloader,
use this command to unlock bootloader > fastboot oem unlock
(warning.. you will loose all data)
After the bootloader is unlocked the device will reboot normally.
7. Once normally booted from the command prompt issue the commands given below (after each command press enter button)
Note: you need su and superuse.apk (which can be downloaded from here: https://rapidshare.com/files/1319181583/su.zip)
unzip the downloaded file in the same folder where fastboot.exe exist i.e /android-sdk/platform-tools/
adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot
Done!... your device is now rooted.

it would be good to note that many people have issues with the initial android driver installation.
if you install the drivers, but the phone doesn't show up after a period of time, open control panel -> system -> device manager and look for any devices that have a yellow triangle error (no driver). right click and open properties, and manually select the driver, not auto! the next screen will give you an option to 'select from a list', do this, and find SAMSUNG, then select the latest drivers.
after this, it can still take a minute or two the first time for drivers to install properly, you usually can see the status of this in the usb system tray icon.
if you rebooted to the bootloader (power vol(+) vol(-)), from the command line, if you type "fastboot devices" it should list a device and serial number. if not, you need to go check your drivers, something is missing. also, don't forget how magical a windows reboot can be at times : )

Hi
Thanks for this note which would help many users.

Hi, noob here.
First of all, thanks for the guide.
I have already unlocked the bootloader about a month ago (up to step 6), but would like to root.
Will my phone lose all data again if I root the phone now? I'm not even sure what this actually does, but would like to learn and mess around with it.

You will not loose data. Rooting gets access your system folders by pushing su and superuser through adb.
Hope it helps.

Did you actually test that with a stock rom?
Because adb root will not work with ITL41F at least.
Code:
./adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
Furthermore the chmod for Superuser.apk is totally bogus. No need to mess with it's permissions.
i think a better way is get su and SuperUser.apk from the developers (ChainsDD) site and install it with a temporary boot CWM to install it.
(these instructions are also from memory And i rooted my one from source, but that's a bit involved)
this would mean instead of step 7 do.
7. Download CWM into the same directory as fastboot
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img (Verizon)
or
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img (GSM)
Make sure to get the right version for your device.
8. download http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
onto the internal storage of the phone( "sdcard" )
9. With the phone turned OFF, hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN and power the phone on. This will put you in bootloader mode
10. again using windows/cmd go to the folder /android-sdk/platform-tools
From this folder try the command "fastboot devices" (do not include ") which should list the device connected to your PC.
11. Start CWM (without installing it)
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-XXX-XXX.img
(use the right filename from step 7)
12. choose install update and select the zip from step 8.
You need to use volume up/down to navigate and power to select.

[root] for those have unlocked bootloader

May you install Magisk Manager and export the "patched" kernel, and flash the patched kernel through fastboot?

Hi mingkee.
This works whit G3311 confirmed. Build: 43.0.A.6.49 Android 7.0 Baseband MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V166..5, Kernel 3.18.35+
Kernel is for G3313 magisk patch.
Everything works with this for G3311 as I've tested. Try it at you're own risk.
In linux in (debain, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and all) you need tools
Terminal "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot"
1. Unlock bootloader https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/#unlock-code. Get the code
2. Go to settings/ about phone/ build number/ click 7 times. Go back to settings. Developer options/ USB debuggning ON. OEM unlock ON. And try "adb devices" in terminal GNU/Linux. Should popup a allow PC on the phone" tranfer files is necessary "MTP", on the phone.
3. In terminal "adb reboot bootloader" this is where "allow access to computer" if it's haven't appeared allow on the phone.
4. In terminal "fastboot oem unlock x0(the code). no space. Don't know why x0 doesn't exist in the code. Don't know why. It's my first Sony with the openness they got now (thank god for Lund, sweden and Jolla, Finland). But it seems pretty easy to unlock. Honor 8 have closed bootloader unlock since 8 Month. So be at ease. And maybe save you're unlock code. But it doesn't seems like you need it.
5. I did it this way.
5/1 Download https://serv8.asuscomm.com/owncloud/index.php/s/t3N4iYNUoAMnwqI "latest I think" otherwise you can look at this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk. A bit messy I think.
6. Terminal command "adb install (this apk) drag it from dir. Of course ADB-debugger ON. I don't know instructions for Windownsyndrom. If you need it, I can guide you or somebody else that need it. Just ask.
7. Download https://serv8.asuscomm.com/owncloud/index.php/s/QXkxRkBezJXLlQE. And the easiest way are with ADB "adb reboot bootloader". Or use buttons and cable. Blue LED should be on and black screen.
8. Teminal "fastboot devices" Permission denied. Then you need sudo. Try "sudo fastboot devices"
8/1 If you need ROOT remember

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminal
[email protected] ~ $ sudo fastboot devices
[sudo] password for johan:
WUJ01R6*** fastboot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you see a number then you know the GNU/Linux recognize the phone and back.
So after that "fastboot flash boot "this boot patched_boot_G3313.img" or if you need root "sudo fastboot flash boot "this boot patched_boot_G3313.img" drag is the lazymans work from dir. Or cd to the dir and find the file. Works whit both ROOT and user.
Terminal
"fastboot restart"
Then you should see in the magisk app that you are rooted systemless. And can use modules.
Haven't tried any modules yet.
Just try too break it down to simple language.

Need help at 5.

Ok Atomiikz. So download and install adb and fastboot tools. From here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 install system wide. Otherwise you need to open CMD in the folder whith adb and fastboot.
The open CMD and write "adb devices" and allow on the phone. This should come upp in the command promt "CMD"
--------------------------------------
C:\Users\Mr.J>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
WUJ01R**** device
--------------------------------------
Then " adb install (drag the apk here)" and ENTER. That installs magisk app on you're phone.
Or download the apk. Transfer to the phone. Then use some file explorer like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop and find the apk. Then install it.
And a heads up if you never used fastboot in windows 10, in my case. I used this application http://zadig.akeo.ie/ to install fastboot drivers for (s1boot fastboot)
Good luck. Write if you have more questions.

I have a question Does the camera or screen or performance get damaged with this proccess ?

How to REMOVE SIM CARD MANAGER from notification panel (even after oreo update)

Now you can remove the ugly f__k dual sim card manager from notification panel, even after updating your phone to android oreo.
Till date you could just install overlay apps and it'd work. But on oreo that doesn't work so simply. Follow these steps.
This method does NOT void your warranty
Steps -->
1> Download the attached file to your computer.
2> Extract.
3> Install the following app provided on your device : aaa.quicksetting.hidesimpanel.apk, and restart your phone.
(If you're using any update upto Nougat, following these three steps would do. People using oreo or later, follow further)
4> Go to the directory and open a Command Prompt Window over there.
[Right click + Open Command Prompt Window Here; or hit Window Key + R, type cmd, and hit enter, then use 'cd' command to move to that directory]
5> Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on. If you don't have it enabled, go to Settings -> About Device -> Tap 7 times on build number quickly -> Enter your Pin, now go back to Settings -> Developer Options -> Switch USB Debugging on.
6> Connect your phone as 'Transfer Files' mode.
7> On the Command Prompt window on your computer, type 'adb shell' and click on allow this computer on your phone.
8> Now enter the following command : adb shell cmd overlay enable aaa.quicksetting.hidesimpanel
9> Reboot your phone.
10> Congratulations!

Android 8.1 Car Dash Cam/DVR Navigation Layout Mod Guide (No Root)

Note: I'm not responsible for any damage to your device!
The device tested on:
Model: V10E_TGC
Android Version: 8.1.0
Ram: 2GB
Rom: MZL_V10E_TGC_M5_1000_Media_Sleep_2022062917
OS used Windows 11
Steps:
(On Device)
1: Go to settings, system, then about phone. Tap on build number 7 times to enable developer mode.
2: Press back then head into developer options - Toggle OEM unlocking, USB debugging, Remote ADB (if connected to home network), then enable Adb Root (2846).
(On PC side)
1: Download the Minimal ADB portable zip, then create an ADB folder and copy contents from the adb zip into the created folder, copy cmd.exe from system32 into that folder as well.
2: Open cmd.exe type "adb connect 192.xxx.xx.xxx:5555" will prompt the device - allow the connection, tap accept, and ok.
3: Type "adb remount", then "adb pull /system/qc.prop" (make a copy).
4: Open qc.prop with notepad or editor. in the qc.prop search for (persist.sys.navigationbar.right=)
and change to (persist.sys.navigationbar.right=true), close, and save.
5: Type "adb push qc.prop /system/qc.prob" , then type "adb shell chmod 644 /system/qc.prop" then type "adb reboot".
Sorry, the steps were missing, also there is a way to change the navbar to be on the bottom if you change (#decide the postion of navigationbar. 0:bottom 1:left 2:right
ro.navigationbar.position=1) to (#decide the postion of navigationbar. 0:bottom 1:left 2:right
ro.navigationbar.position=0) but you lose access to the gear icon and reverse cam icon.
