adb not working in Ubuntu - Hero CDMA General

I downloaded the SDK and unpacked it in the default location it suggested and tried typing...
Code:
adb devices
and I get the following. What am I missing?
Code:
bash: adb: command not found

Like starting any linux application from within the local directory, you must add the dot-slash.
Code:
./adb
Now if someone could answer my question about using the SDK in Ubuntu...
I can use the SDK with Windows just fine and successfully rooted weeks ago. Now I'm attempting to access the phone with adb in Ubuntu and receive the following message:
Code:
./adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Any ideas?

Have you tried starting the adb server as root? Try
Code:
./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
./adb devices

Thank you guys that worked.

Yeap, that got it, thanks.
I don't recall seeing anything however that says that the adb server must be run as root. Maybe I just missed it.

[solved/info] - adb with ubuntu

I am running ubuntu 9.04. I have eclipse and the Android s.d.k. set up and running perfectly. But I cannot figure out how to setup a.d.b.
I apologize for the new post, but I promise I have searched for hours on this forum and Google. All I found was info on installing on Windows, and fixing a.d.b that used to work but won't work now after updating to 9.04. Anybody have a tutorial or a fix that I might have missed? Thanks in advance.
there is nothing to set up just make shure it has execute permissions, thats what had me stumped LOL
#chmod +x adb
then just plug in the g1 (no drivers required) and
#adb whatever you want
but i was using arch :O
to make it easier copy the adb executable to /usr/bin and you can execute from any directory withoud using cd /directory
Code:
sudo cp /androidsdk/tools/adb /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb
that's how i use mine on my 8.10 and 9.04
Thanks guys, pretty sure it's working, just need to figure out how to connect to device. I will try your suggestions.
Done. Then I tried
#adb logcat
and i get
- waiting for device -
should I
#cd /bin
#adb logcat
?
I am following tutorials for windows, so it is kind of confusing. I don't think I can connect. I get

I am using the Rogers v3 Rom with jf1.42 bootloader and the 2005 s.p.l
Would any of that matter.

Doubtful. I too am looking to get ADB running on my Ubuntu laptop, as it would save a bunch of time for me being able to use it instead of my slow windows computer (ADB is corrupted driver-wise on my main rig).
Anyone have any reasonable tutorials for lower-level linux users on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit?
I have Ubuntu + SDK and I don't have any issue.
Are you sure you installed your SDk the correct way == you followed exaclty the android.com howto ?
it should work with ubuntu 9.04. Just follow this instructions to setup connection to your phone. mainly create rule for you device in udev.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html
If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file:
1. Login as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules.
For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
For Dapper, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
2. Now execute:
chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
reboot, then if you are still having problem after this, one more thing to try to start server swith sudo.
adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server

I think I did this part, I will double check. I did try sudo adb start-server, that didn't work. I will double check the rest. Thank you.
Oh that's why I never did it, I cannot find a rule for jaunty, only hardy, dapper, and gutsy.. I'll do more searching. Thanks for the idea.
Okay it works now. This is what I get
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb start-server

THIS IS WHAT I DID:
created 2 files on my desktop named:
50-android.rules
51-android.rules
Then I edited both files to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
Then I opened terminal and did this
Code:
[email protected]:~$sudo mv /home/chris/desktop/50-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
[email protected]:~$sudo mv /home/chris/desktop/51-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
Then I rebooted and It all worked. I am runnung ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jakelope(sp?)
Thanks for everyones help. Hope this helps someone else.

Thank you so much, this works perfectly. Bump for someone else finding this who needs it.
Yes it has to be rule 51, not 50 with Jaunty. Google doc is not up to date yet.
see this thread :
http://groups.google.com/group/andr...read/thread/ab6e89c4b51cd905/a05c2a749cd55b88

Ubuntu 9.04 already has a rules/50-something file so you need to make
sure that the android rule is > 50. Otherwise whatever you define gets
reset. We should update the doc to just state rule/51-android.rules
which will work right now till the base configuration changes once
again

Hmm thanks for the info. That's a new one.
Edit
Ok sorry a little OT, but I responded to this because I did not see an answer posted. I Seem to be having problems with posts showing up when I am logged in... but not when I am logged out... really weird. After I logged out at least another dozen posts showed up in this thread.
you need to change the rule from 50 to 51 on ubuntu 9.4
didnt realise the answer was posted sorry. but its def the right answer

[Q] Using a DROID X and MAC together is tough -- can someone help?

Too many threads... too many sites and PC options.
Here's my situation:
Droid X
Used the leak update... running 2.2 now.
Use a MAC. And have Terminal app on DX.
Have SBF file for 2.1 stock, have ZIP files of rooted 2.2's
Dont have custom recovery.
Dont care much about warranty or OTA... just want to be able to apply ZIPs.
I need to somehow either root my DX with Mac or Terminal app. Or flash the SBF to bring things back to 2.1.
Not sure what to do??? Please please help.
I am not familiar with terminal commands...so if you leave instructions that would be great.
-Roman
You follow the same ADB commands, more or less. Why not try something like Universal AndRoot though? Then you could just skip over it.
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.
1) download sbf_flash & sbf file
Code:
cd directory/where/these/are/located
./sbf_flash SBFfileLOCATION
The only way to SBF is to run windows through bootcamp or this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/38671-flashing-sbf-mac.html . I am in the same boat as you luckily my girlfriend has a dell running Windows. You should also be able to root 2.2 using the Droid 2 method posted in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766767. I assume you have the SDK downloaded already? The Linux directions does not work for Mac.

I TRIED THAT, BUT THERE IS SOME ERROR THAT POPS UP... CAN'T DO IT. 2.2 ISN'T SUPPORTED... I THINK IT'S JUST FOR 2.1..
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.

SO THAT EASY? JUST TWO COMMAND LINES?
So, if I put the SBF on my desktop it would be:

Running ADB with Mac OSX and therefore rooting with the mac is EASY. Just make sure you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac. Make sure in your .bash_profile you have the path set to the tools directory of your SDK folder.
Since I can't tell if you have all this down, I'll give you the instructions on setting up adb on the mac (using terminal), then give you the directions I followed on rooting my Droid X from OSX (I am running 2.2 leaked).
Essentially follow these instructions (taken from tjrocks91 on droidforum... I'd link, but I am not yet allowed to post outside links on this forum):
1. Download the Android SDK for Mac OSX. (google it)
2. Extract the zip file to any destination on your Mac. *Remember its path!*
In the AndroidSDK folder, there will be a folder named “tools”. We will be adding this folder to the path on Mac OSX. For this example, extract to your home folder (the folder that contains the desktop, documents, etc. folders)
3. To do this click on Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.
4. Type in without quotations “cd ~/”
5. Next, type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new bash or otherwise known path file.
6. Next, type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit. A TextEdit window will open, copy and past this into that window, substituting <username> for your username on OSX:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<username>/AndroidSDK/tools
7. Save the file and close the window.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7, but replace .bash_profile with ".bashrc" (without the quotes)
9. ADB should be ready to go. Make sure that your Droid X is set to "charge only" when connected via USB, and that you have debug mode set to on in your Android settings (settings>applications>development> USB Debugging)
10. In terminal, type (without the quotes): "adb devices". You should see a return that gives a list of devices attached. If the daemon wasn't started yet, this will do it. After that, type "adb shell" to enter adb.
11. After that, the adb commands are ALL the same on any platform, just make adjustments for different file systems when moving things TO your phone when using the command prompt (and not in the adb shell itself, but using adb commands). OSX follows unix/linux file structure, but not always the linux/unix file arrangement (but pretty darn close, since it is a Unix BSD GUI).
Now onto rooting your DX running 2.2. I've attached the file I used. It is a .rar files, so you will need a .rar extractor. I found a nice free one on the net called UnrarX. Google it, get it. Its free, it works. I will give instructions assuming you have them. These instructions come from karnovaran here on XDA. THey are for the droid 2, but work for the Droid X as well. i will translate them into instructions that can be followed verbatim on Mac (as the instructions he gave are meant for those doing this through the command prompt in windows).
1. Extract the contents of the attached file to your sdk tools folder
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to your sdk tools folder. if you put the sdk folder in your home folder, then the command and path you should enter from the terminal should be something like this:
cd AndroidSDK/tools
3. Now the process is as follows (follow EXACTLY, making sure you are faithful to YOUR file paths). I'm copying almost verbatim from karnovaran:
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (this WILL take a while, so don't TOUCH ANYTHING on your phone. Just go grab a beer and relax until the proces kicks you back out to the tools folder in terminal)
- adb kill-server
- cd <wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is>
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt, if not return to ./rage step above)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
- exit
This got me root on my DX and I did this on OSX no problem. The only PC I have that is functional is my laptop for work and because of the content on it and security procedures, though I could do android hacking with it, I will not, so I'm stuck with using my Mac. Thing is that it really is NOT hard. Commands are almost exactly as in Linux/Unix, and OSX terminal runs bash, which is quite versatile (more commands than busybox, iirc) in and of itself. And getting mac root access is bloody easy using sudo if you need it (otherwise, don't use it).
I hope this helps. Have fun.
many steps.... but will go slowly.
Thank you!!!!
Many steps, but they work!

Yeah this would be your problem.
@OP,
yes, it would be just that easy IF AND ONLY IF the linux commands apply to macs as well. Which I have NO IDEA on. so proceed at your own risk :z

adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
- If <directory> is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
- If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
is updated.
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.

Now that's odd. I only get problems when I try and use ./ just regular "adb" works on my machine.

There's your problem.... you're using leopard . I'm using 10.6.3. Love it. They did well with this new OS version (for those who don't know... the difference to users between Leopard and Snow Leopard for OSX folks is like the diff between Eclair and FroYo... the former is good, but the later far exceeds it under the hood though still remaining almost the same on the front end).
And obviously that means I'm running an intel machine as well. 2008 iMac 20".... 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo. Just your regular, nothing-special iMac.
I thought Macs were supposed to be user friendly?

Will this method work for a Droid X on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and with build # 4.5.1_57_DX8-51 Also is there a new one click type solution by now on a Mac?

Adb installation instructions for Ubuntu

The Absent-Minded Professor and I just installed adb on Ubuntu; here is how to set up adb on Ubuntu Linux, Gutsy through Maverick.
Our port of the BX theme to CM6 stable is forthcoming.
first command after installing and updating sdk and extracting the tgz file to your home directory is== sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
NOTE: In the above file replace ## with the number 50 if you are running Gusty/Hardy/Dapper (50-android.rules) or with the number 70 if you are running Karmic Koala/Lucid Lynx(70-android.rules
after the window pops write this in the file==SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″ then save and close
the follwing commands is== sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
Then reboot.
Open a terminal and type== sudo gedit .bashrc
The file contents should be as follows== export PATH=${PATH}:~/home/user/android-sdk-linux_86/tools
Save and close.
Run the command== adb devices
If you see a serial number like this:
List of devices attached
HT99PHF02521 device
then you are done.
If you get error messages such as "no such command," cd to /home/user/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools and use the adb commands in this way:
./adb devices
./adb shell
etc.
If you get an error message here referencing insufficient device permissions, do the following:
./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
Now ./adb devices should work.

Downgrade from 1.72 issues with cmd

Android SDK installed in programfiles
ADB in this folder : C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
written in cmd, with USB debugging activated and charge only.
C:\Users\any\adb devices. my device shows!
Is this the right thing to insert to cmd or the one below

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp : A bunch adb commands shows
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp : A bunch adb commands shows
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter :unable to chmod, no such file
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version :unable to chmod no such file
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter : Not found
adb shell :$
or this

adb push psneuter C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb push misc_version C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb shell chmod 777 C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-toolsmisc_version
adb shell C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-toolspsneuter
adb shell :$
Have I installed the Android SDK in the wrong folder or what is thats going wrong?
First is correct, but you have to have psneuter & change_misc files in current directory so adb push could find them.
Whats the current directory?
Probably C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools.
You can also use it like this: adb push c:\some_directory\psneuter /data/local/tmp
Syntax is: adb push [what you want to push] [where you want it to go]

Current directoty is the folder you are in.
Could you resolved the above problem?
because even i am not able to use adb shell chmod 777 command, its shows the same result.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot, i just copied the content of the C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools directory to C:\Users\any\ and tried then, work perfect, finally got the # instead of $
What are the instructions im suppose to follow in the bootloader? fastboot,recovery,factory reset,simlock or image CRC?

None of the above. If you've done it correctly, the phone should find PD98IMG.zip on its own. Is your device branded? If so, make sure you have correctly created your Goldcard.
