Hey guys,
Im new to Android and after being a BlackBerry user for 8 years, anyway heres my issue.
1. I did the root rom per the instructions...no problem
2. flashed the recovery and have that working...no problem
3. downloaded the .3 rom with the built in busybox and su...Here's where things get confussing for me.
I tried to use adb and it asks me (are you root?), tried adb remount and got (operation not permitted) the usb debug is on and working and the su app on the phone maintains a black screen....(I think this is not right...)
Then I closed out the current cmd window...opened a fresh cmd window and typed>adb shell and got $, then i entered su and got # from here im stuck, what are the commands to get back to adb shell and su also how do I get the whitelist permissions working...
In short adb shell worked fine with the original root rom, I'm sure its an operator error any help is appreciated.

SO if I understood correctly you already have v3 installed?
If you do check on your phone its probably asking you for permission on the phone when you click on always allow the command should go thru adb.
make sure you have debuggin on otherwise all you will get is a black screen when su permission pops up.

There are plenty around... seriously google it. But, this specific issue I just experienced. Seems on the custom ROM that is out (EvilEris) the SU request screen doesn't work right off the bat. I went and used an app on the device to request root (terminal) then when the black screen pops up, hit back or home, or action. As the phone is basically frozen at this point it prompted me to forceclose the superuser.apk. I did. Once forceclosed, it worked fine.
adb shell
su
look at phone, click allways all

Or just download Terminal Emulator from Market.
open it up.
Type su.
Hit allow/always allow.
Now try it for other stuff (like wireless tether) and see if it pops up instead of a black screen.
haha..I simply went to settings>Applications>Development and checked the USB debugging mode.... [read it on another thread...should have read before I posted...haha]

If you are using Windows use the link in my signature for TrueBlue's ADB setup.
Thank you, This has let me use ADB Command Prompt, But not as I wanted.
When I typed ADB Devices
I get a blank list.
When I plug in the phone, and the installed drivers are showing, all are installed but Adb.
I really do not know what is wrong, many anyone view my computer screen via teamviewer.
Thank you very much, I would like to donate to anyone who solves my solution.!

Don't really understand you. To me, gfree is the easy way. It's not much simpler than unzipping a file and running it. It has a better track record of success than any of the previous methods, but, whatever. To each their own struggle.

I dont take donations, but I am happy to help in any way I can. If you have a blank list you probably havent installed the drivers correctly or you have not turned on USB debugging.I will be happy to view your screen. Send me a Private Message with the info to do that if you still need the help.

We know that it is the easiest. But yet we've taken the time to learn ADB and what does what. Most people see the ADB commands and get nervous and want to do something that is automated and scripted. where all they have to do is punch in a "go" command and everything is done for them.
if you have issue with ADB using SDK just download this zip, extract it and transfer it to the SDK it will work just fine

I need some help too,,,I tried everything and I have the same problem
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Brand new phone...can't believe i did something wrong only a few hours into it!?
To cut to it, i am not able to run anything on my PC to my Atrix bc the phone is not visible to it via usb sync. It DOES still see it if i needed to transfer files etc, just not so i can flash anything to it off the PC.
And not sure if it has anything to do with it, but it seems like i ran into my problem when i inserted and formatted my SD card. Here's what i did (and i hadn't gotten very far):
I rooted with SuperOneClick, then I installed DG's Adeo ROM and the update.
I was trying to install Gingerbread and was just putting busybox installer on my phone when i went to put my SD card in there from my old phone. i formatted the card and it seemed after i did that i lost connectivity via the USB. It could still access the phone, but everytime i run ATRIX4G_MobileTV_GBTheme.bat it hangs at "daemon started succesfully" . It also hangs if i try to run SuperOneClick again on "waiting for device."
I wasn't sure what to do to get it running right again so i did a full wipe from the settings. Still can't connect
Any help be greatly appreciated. i've literally had this phone 4 hours so sorry if i'm missing something dumb
Try running aRoot (search this forum) and then trying all that.
thanks for that suggestion, gonna try that....just as soon as the damn search function comes back!!
oh the waiting...i am not going to be able to sleep tonight till i get somethin happenin

Do you have Root Explorer? If so, look in /sbin and see if you have 'adbd' showing
OR
Have you tried installing the ADB interface from the Android SDK? See if your device can be seen? If not see THIS ARTICLE (external link to addictivetips) on setting up ADB.
No, I don't have Root Explorer
I installed SDK and ADB and it does show up, but only when the USB setting is set to "Motorola phone portal." None of the other options it shows up in device mgr.
I am kinda stabbing in the dark at this point...thinking maybe it's a driver issue?
maybe if i uninstall all the drivers and start from scratch i might have some luck? i actually did unistall all the drivers thru device mgr, but they just came right back next time i connected...so maybe i need to delete them entirely?
any suggestions to trouble shoot this greatly appreciated...i know it's probably small potatos but i'm really jammed up here...
Moved as not android development
Have you tried installing the latest drivers again directly from the Motorola Mobility site? You can install Media Link or just the drivers with MotoHelper. For some reason my phone installed all of this, but there were updates available immediately.
The ADB interface should function when USB is set to None.
Sent from my Rooted Atrix using Tapatalk Pro
Yeah i actually did a system restore and reinstalled all the drivers etc.
I can see the phone now in the device mgr under ADB interface when connection is set to "None" for USB
But still hangs when trying to flash basically anything
Do you have or can you pick up a Terminal Emulator in the Market and list the files in /sbin? See if you have adbd...
From $
su
cd /sbin
ls (Lower case L, not 1)
Look through list of files for adbd.
Sent from my Rooted Atrix using Tapatalk Pro
OK, No it's not in there
See this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11738847&postcount=1 and the cooresponding thread for replacing adbd. There's another post in the thread about changing the permissions so that it doesn't get lost again with a reboot. You might have to purchase Root Explorer since you cannot push anything via ADB over USB.

This seems to be the type of problem i am having, very much thanks for directing me to that other thread.
At this point i have copied ADB to the sbin folder but nothing flashing yet...need to read through that thread more and play with it.
What a PITA so far but thanks so much for the help!
No problem. I hope it works out. If you don't mind, post up and let me know if you get it going and what it took so we can try to help others.

WANT TO ROOT YOUR AUSSIE NEXT G XOOM?
Firstly, I know this is in the wrong section of the forum, but I dont have enough XDA posts to put anything in the developement section. DEAL WITH IT
DISCLAIMER - I am not a developer or active XDA forum poster, I am a forum reader and user. The reason for this post is a lack of information regarding AUSTRALIAN Xoom rooting and updating on XDA (correct me if im wrong). This information is gathered from multiple different sources and I DONT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THEIR HARD WORK, nor do I take any responsibility for their instructions. Everything here is their work, however please follow the links for a more up to date process. Therefore take this information with a grain of salt, I have, however, seen it work on 4 Xoom's so far with 100% success. These instructions assume you can use adb, fastboot, and clockworkmod and assume you know that all warranty is voided by doing any of this.
Now, for the nice bit...
Do you have an Australian Xoom with 3G and wondering what to do about Verizon, US, EURO, UK, 3G, 4G, WIFI only, etc?? you want a forum that says OZ dont you? you want to ROOT YOUR XOOM!
Firstly from what I can tell our model is very similar if not identical to the UK model in that they provide 3G (Telstra Next G for us) connection. The US models dont have sim cards and access the network differently, so some of their processes and information will not apply to us, neither will all the UK information. So to save you some time, here is a collaboration of my findings after hours of web searching and flashing, re-flashing, etc.
Step 1 - Root it
[GUIDE] XOOM 3G Euro Root Instructions + Files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049901
This link and all associated files work perfectly to root your OZ-Spec Xoom
Step 2 - ClockworkMod Recovery
[Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 Modded for Internal media [UPDATED 5/13]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
Again, this works perfectly, and gives you SD access and a really easy way to flash your OZ-Spec Xoom
Step 3 - Honeycomb 3.1 Update
Step 3
Firstly need to backup some important telstra related files
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop build.backup
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal settings.db-wal
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm settings.db-shm
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db telephony.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal telephony.db-journal
[UPDATE][HC3.1] Wifi and 3G! Completely Flashable! No Fastboot Needed!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609
Follow the link to update your device. After updating, extract the attached zip to your adb.exe folder and run command prompt.
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop build.backup ##cant be too safe##
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb push settings.db-wal /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal
adb push settings.db-shm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm
adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb push telephony.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal
adb push build.modified /system/build.prop
This will get you 3.1 and still working on the Telstra network and thinking its australian again.
Step 4 - Tiamat Kernel
[KERNEL][AOSP][HC3.1] Tiamat Riptide Special Edition 1.4.2 [Update: 5/21]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
This is where those kickass quadrant scores come from. Follow instructions per usual for OZ-Spec. Dont forget to flash the new bootloader first.
tada!... a rooted Aussie Xoom running HC3.1 AND Tiamat kernel AND ClockworkMod AND 3G
Thankyou to the originators of the instructions found here.
Followed these same steps yesterday and can vouch that they work great.
Cheers
(Also long time reader, first time poster)
Hi Guys, up to stage 3.1 and not sure what files/info I need to extract?

I think that step was supposed to point to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695 (which is actually the most important page to read)

Telstra 3g files
Thanksh for this post it is of grea help. It has allow me to bring my xoom bck from "brick land". The only bit I cant follow is how to get the telstra 3g specific files you mention. n Step 3.1 I cant find anything about extractingfiles
3g files
Does anyone have these Telstra specific files?
which bootloader did you use for the Tiamat kernel?
cheers
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Help need ..... I am wondering if anyone out there are able to send me the files to enable 3g on Telstra as described in this post.
My situation is a follows. I have an Australian Telstra xoom and tried one of the 1 click root programs. After much pain and research I now realise 2 things. 1/ this completely stuffed by device, it now hangs at the logo on boot. 2/ even if it did work it is for US networks only. I have worked my way through the posts and have managed to recover the device by fastbooting with the euro boot.img described in this post. Problem is no 3g. This post provides a description of how to extract the Telstra 3g files for the device before it gets trashed. I did not do this. So I am assuming I now need to source these files from someone who has a working Telstra xoom.
Can anyone out these assist......
These are the files I pushed to my Xoom to get it working. Hopefully it helps.
Cheers
thank you very much I will let you know how I go ...
Yahoooooooooo... these files worked a treat, I am now back on 3g. One of the files settings.db-wal has a size of 0 bytes is that right or should it have something in it.
The only problem I have now is wifii is not working... when I look at wifi in settings it says "error" ... any ideas
Glad that helped.
That file was 0 bytes on mine as well. Don't know why the wireless has failed but someone may be able to help otherwise you may need to push the wireless driver/config file back to the tablet. I think the wireless driver was in one of the links at the start of this thread.
Cheers
can anybody link me to these files "telephony.db" (adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db)
and "telephony.db-journal" (adb push telephony.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal)
i assume this is why mine is not working (stuck at the HC animation loop)
Thank you to all that help me !! My xoom is back to working now have 3g and wifi working fine and I now have a root applied. For anyone that wants a bit of a smoother path (I am sure I will not be the last noob to do this) the attached ZIP has all the required files to root your device or fix it if you have stuffed it up (ie applied a US 1 click root like I did). The telstra 3g files are included.
Follow the intructions I did in the link below and the the final set of commands to push the telstra comms files back. Hope this reduces the pain for someone else !!

hmmmm....
Not sure what's going on here. It was all working fine (well, mostly), just the odd 3g dropout after coming off wifi. I tried flashing the telephony files from the euro update thread hoping to fix that, and then no 3g at all. I then thought, what if I pushed the build.prop from watt4's post (I was using just the frankenrom one from euro post). Then , bam. Bootloop. I successfully got into recovery and flashed 3.1 again and it will work, but every time I flash the build.prop from here I get a bootloop.
any ideas anyone?
I've done all of the steps, and everything was working as expected, but after I restarted, it was showing the honeycomb loads screen for ages and ages (stuck?)
Any ideas? It gets past the M Dual Core screen, but then just loops the boot animation.
I've done all of the steps and I can boot into Honeycomb 3.1, but 3G isn't working. It gets stuck at "Searching for service..." while trying to activate.
I'm using the default build.prop, but I tried the frankenrom and my own (using the steps in the post), and nothing works.
Thoughts?
Edit: Fixed it. I reloaded the settings and telephony dbs after pushing the boot.prop and its now found Telstra and successfully using 3G!

Ok, So I fixed this it seems. It was that bat Build prop causing the boot loop.
However, now it's happening again. I made the mistake of trying a different framework file (which was meant to force the browser into desktop all the time). And it gave me bootloop. So I reflashed 3.1 etc, and tried again. It loaded (without Telstra service again), so again I repushed the frankenrom build prop (which had worked previously) and the connectivity settings. But again bootloop...I can't get my tab to be alive and have telstra connectivity
EDIT: Thought after reflashing I may have been missing the Wipe data/factory reset step, but did the whole process again, and still no luck!
It's so strange! I can get into the OS without Telstra connection, but once I push those settings it boot loops?! Is there anything else I can try?
So my N4' screen just went kaput,..... the screen still turns on and I can still see the whole thing, but it won't respond to my touch.. Is there anyway I can retrieve the texts off the phone through something like ADB? or some other type of application?
PLASE HELP!!!

Use your command prompt and enter the commands.
Be sure you have the androidsdk installed as well if you haven't already.

I'm sorry, but I am quite a noob when it comes to this kind of thing.. I understand what the commands tell my phone and computer to do, but II am not sure on the commands I need to execute.. Something like this?
adb push /Desktop/Android/mmssms.db > /mnt/sdcard/tmp
the desktop and android folder is where I put the mmssms.db that I pulled.
Code:
adb push /Desktop/Android/mmssms.db /mnt/sdcard/temp/mssms.db
adb shell
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/tmp/mmssms.db > /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
That should do the trick I think.
