Hey guys I an having the darnest time root this guy should be easy with these one clickers programs.
Pretty sure its a driver thing, note I can see the device when in cmd and doing the adb devices that shows up. just gets hung up at the end there.
attached a pic of what the cmd line looks like
anybody have the current drivers, googling for them just yields me to forum posts asking where the drivers are
thirty views and nothing
ok its not a driver issue if your loading root.sh (the big block of text) the issue is that the adb server isnt starting back up in time in order for your device to be recognized. solution? open up the bat file and copy and paste the commands one at a time; or if you have a linux/osx computer try doing it there with my scripts in my sig
couple ideas..
1.open up the run.bat file in notepad or similar and go through all the commands manually, that way you have control on speed of commands and allow enough time for adb to startup again.
2. open up the run.bat file and increase the wait time in the script.. -w 3000 or something like that..
i would suggest you do commands manually. The one-click root did not work for me but doing things manually worked right away.
How to do it
Hey man this is how I got it to work. I was having all the problems device not found etc etc. Have been trying since Sunday. What I finally did after installing the drivers was restart the computer and Phone. After that i tried to run the program it failed with device not found again so i unplugged the usb cable from the phone and closed the cmd window. And also brought up Task manager and killed the adb.exe process. then i reran the run.bat file and this time when it gets to the adb restart relogin apart i killed the SMALLEST ADB.EXE IN THE PROCESS TAB OF TASK MANAGER and that is when it finally got it to work. Had to do the same when I tested it with the uninstaller. So that seems to work. If anyone has any questions feel free to pm me.
But thank god it finally worked.

other people have done this and it worked for them also.
I tried all kinds of stuff ultimately I ended up using an xp machine. I later remembered the whole xp mode in windows 7 but didn't actually try it ... win7 just gave me a hard time although the post about changing the amount of time to restart adb makes sense

Okay, I have a permarooted MT4G with S=Off, and I want to use the gfree method to unlock my SIM and get the universal CID while I'm still on the stock kernel. All of the guides I see for that push the gfree files using the ADB.
Problem: I cannot get the Android SDK to recognize my MyTouch 4g. (SEE UPDATE)
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834748 to try and set up the ADB to no avail. This is what I did:
-- Downloaded the SDK, booted it up, let it update. Booted it up again, let it update EVERYTHING (took like 30 minutes) again. It has no more updates to install.
-- I tried adding adb as an environmental variable in windows, but the command prompt, no matter where I start it from, does not recognize 'adb' as "an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." (works now)
-- The HTC Drivers that came with my device have been installed on my computer. So, I uninstalled them, only to have windows reinstall them as soon as I plug the device in (I'm running Windows 7 x64 home edition, Build 7601).
I tried going here http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC/HOW-TO-Get-ADB-to-recognize-your-myTouch-4G/m-p/540017 and using their technique, no dice. My computer has the exact same drivers as when I started, and I have a digital paperweight of a SDK. (see update)
UPDATE: I now have a working ADB (big thanks to TrueBlue_Drew and his guide for us noobs) that recognizes my MT4G, but I have another issue:
FINAL QUESTION: Now that my MT4G is showing up in ADB, I realized I screwed up again when I discovered a "Android 1.0" item in the misc. section of my Devices window in Control Panel. It currently says that Android 1.0 needs troubleshooting and the drivers aren't working. I tried to direct windows to the usb drivers I downloaded from the both of the guides I've used, but windows wouldn't accept either one. Am I using the wrong drivers? Which ones should I tell windows to install? Should I even worry about it since adb is working? Any help on that end would VERY MUCH appreciated.
If you are using true blues method are you changing your target folder to c:\adb?

Do you mean the target of the environmental variable? If so, then no, because the name of the folder is android-sdk-windows, making the target C:/android-sdk-windows/tools, unless I'm totally off-base, which is probably what's happening.
Still, I don't think the target is C:\adb, cause I don't have anything in the root of my C drive that's named adb

Is the adb.exe file in your tools folder? Also you should change the name of your SDK folder just so that its easier to type in the terminal. I made mine simply ANDROIDSDK.

Have you installed the drivers successfully? Here's what I do and it's worked on multiple computers and on both Windows 7 and XP:
- Install SDK
- Turn on USB Debugging on the phone.
- Plug the phone into the computer and let it try to install some stuff. Ignore any dialogs saying there were errors
- Mount the SD card and run the HTCDriver.exe file that came on the sd card when you got the phone.
- Unplug it from the computer and plug it in again.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the tools subfolder of the android sdk. Run adb devices. (Even if the first time doesn't return your device's serial number, it should say that it's installing more drivers. Once that completes, adb devices should return your S/N and you should be good to go.)
So close, yet...

Actually no, adb.exe isn't It has a .txt named "Adb has moved," not really sure how to proceed from here; I downloaded the SDK that was in the topic I linked above, and just allowed it to update. More below, and thanks for the response.

Yeah, the problem is that my PC doesn't list any errors when I plug it in. BUT BIG NEWS, I followed the ADB for noobs guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370), and I realized, as I said above, that my adb.exe file was nowhere to be found, so I used the one from the noob guide, and it could recognize my device in ADB. BUT it could not recognize my device in fastboot, so after much frustration, I decided to uninstall the drivers and reinstall using pda.net. Whatever it did, it worked, because adb and fastboot both show my serial number under devices. Thanks to the both of you for your help.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to start some Android development however I've run into a couple of problems during Dev environment set up. I've been following the adt-bundle install instructions as I opted to use the ADT bundle.
This first problem is that the Android Virtual Device Manager will not run. I get a message saying "Failed to execute tools\android.bat The system cannot find the specified file". No idea what to do about that one.
The second is that I cannot run my app. I'm trying to run it on my phone (HTC Desire C) how I keep getting the message :
Code:
[2013-07-13 07:33:37 - MyFirstApp] ------------------------------
[2013-07-13 07:33:37 - MyFirstApp] Android Launch!
[2013-07-13 07:33:37 - MyFirstApp] The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured.
[2013-07-13 07:33:37 - MyFirstApp] You must restart adb and Eclipse.

I've tried resetting adb via command prompt using adb kill-server and then restarting using adb devices and checking that a device is connected however it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I've also tried connecting my N7 tablet up and install the usb drives in the sdk and I get the same errors
It's incredibly frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance
Samishal

is your adb there? and is it executable? (are you running as admin?)
I have also got same error AVD error.. ihad solved it by opening this file "C:\android\sdk\tools\android.bat" and updating its component..
I'm currently getting some strange errors while trying to control my N4 over adb.
http://prntscr.com/1km24i
On Ubuntu I get "device unauthorized" and on Windows 8 I get "device offline".
Same thing happens over USB.
Any idea?
PS: I'm currently on 4.2.2. I where on 4.3 yesterday but installed 4.2.2 again after some strange errors.

As the message have stated, you need to allow the adb access on your phone.
You need to first connect the phone to your PC with USB cables, then the authorization message will pop out on the screen. Tick remember your choice, then allow it.

I'm not getting any message.
Maybe because I already authorized my pc before. A few weeks ago adb worked just fine.

Remove /data/misc/adb/adb_key, reboot your phone and try connect again. The message should come up.
Perfect, worked. Thanks!
I just got my phone back from LG (the mainboard "Fried"). I have the new update pushed to the phone. I have to re-root the phone now as its basically a new phone.
I am getting the Device offline as well message in ADB. As I don't have root, how can I fix this error? I can't navigate to that particular directory. I had no authotization message show up on my computer when I plugged the phone in for the first time... so not sure how to get past this...

This shouldn't be happening on new phone, because the key won't be created if you haven't authorized it.
Can you check your adb version? Try updating it with android sdk manager.
I am going to try and re-download the ADB SDK. I think it's an issue with whatever version I downloaded. I've tried to run the ADB Manager.exe and nothing happens. Currently flying to London so it will have to wait until I get back. Nice of LG to fix my phone and they didn't charge me a dime. Although I did lose everything.
Hello,
I'm having the same problem "Please check the confirmation dialog on your device", but there is no such dialog on the device.
Things I tried and DID NOT SOLVE:
1) Remove /data/misc/adb/* - Failed, there was nothing there (full wipe before flash a new rom)
2) Try different ROMs - Failed, tried AOKP Milestone 1 and 2 and CM10. Dialog never showed up.
3) Try different usb cable OR usb port - Failed, adb is recognized, but no confirmation dialog on the device (device shows as unauthorized)
4) Removed all drivers and installed them again - Failed, same problem;
5) Updated android-sdk (or full delete and reinstall [remembering to adb kill-server]) - Failed, problem continues even with platform-tools up-to-date.
6) Removed all folder C:\Users\Myself\.android - Failed, it was never recreated;
7) Tried to connect via adb over wifi, device is found but unauthorized persists;
Things that gave me some clues:
1) Reboot to recovery mode allowed me to use ADB without any authorization (only while in recovery);
2) Recovery sideload works without any problem;
3) HOWEVER, when connecting to another computer (Windows XP, fresh install on a virtual machine), dialog appears and adb works!
The scenario:
1) Devices tried: Galaxy Nexus / Galaxy S3 I9300
2) ROMs tried: AOKP (4.2.2) / CM10 (4.2.2)
3) Windows 7 x64
The problem is on the computer side, that's a fact. However, I would like to SOLVE it without having to reformat my computer, or change my OS.
Where to start?
Thanks!

Make sure to use the latest ADB executable, also check if you don't have any other adb.exe in your computer, from command promt: where adb.exe

After removing your .android directories, you need to restart the adb server to send fresh credentials to the phone.
First unplug the phone from your computer, then run:
Code:
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
Now plug your phone back in and you should see a dialog on the device asking to confirm new credentials for your computer.
After confirming the credentials you should be able to connect to your device.
I hope that this helps...

I know that this post is old, but I came across the same problem while attempting to root my Galaxy S4 today. This ended up being the solution:
1. Grant yourself root access on the PC that is running adb
2. Remove RSA Keys:
rm /home/username/.android/*
3. Restart adb server:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
I hope that this helps.
SOLVED!
I guess I should have read the previous post before I posted this but anyway maybe this helps.
I had this happen to my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 running 4.3 (VRUEM2K) after I rooted using saferoot, then removed the SuperSU app using SuperSU's so-called "safely unroot" menu option. It will no longer request the RSA key from the Ubuntu system I previously authorized (and used to root) and won't re-root using saferoot or motochopper. But since I dual-boot Windows 7 (I hardly use it, came with the laptop), I figured I'd give Odin a try and re-flash it to stock which didn't do anything to the "custom" flag and I still got "unauthorized" in adb in Ubuntu, but I noticed it does show up fine with adb in Windows. I tried the windows verison of saferoot and it was able to re-root my phone and re-install SuperSU just fine. Phone still showed "unauthorized" in Ubuntu.
After posting this I saw the previous comment saying to rm -rf ~/.android/ in Ubuntu. I also cleared all previously authorized computers and disable dev mode on my phone, rebooted, turned dev mode back on, rebooted again. Not sure if this helped, but I went through the following steps as root:
[email protected]:~# adb kill-server
[email protected]:~# adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
15506b89 unauthorized
At this point I pretty much said "F it, not gonna work" and walked away to get a snack, leaving my phone plugged in. I was only gone a couple minutes and when I came back, the RSA authorization request had popped up on my phone. I checked the box to always allow this computer and authorized it. Then SUCCESS, as seen below:
[email protected]:~# adb devices
List of devices attached
15506b89 device
Removing the .android directory seemed to do it, but you need to wait a few minutes for the computer to re-request the RSA key.
after a week of searching. I NEVER KNEW it pop to accept to authorized. WOW cant believe it... after reading this thread im lol'ding right now.
I had tried to kill adb etc but keep saying aunauthorized. solution was to reboot my phone with usb connected,after boot it the dialog to connect appear and my s4 got authorized. backup success.
thanks to the adb kill-server guy! worked for me

When I try to flash something via ADB on my computer it doesn't work because I get an error message that multiple terminals are open. I'm not good with command line stuff on the computer and usually figure out a way around it so I can flash what I need to, but the next time I need to flash something I'm in the same boat again with the same error message. Is there a way to close everything that is supposedly running so I don't get that error?

Hello,
What's the output of:
adb devices
Also, can you paste the exact error displayed on the command prompt?
You could try:
adb kill-server
Which kill the adb.exe process
Then:
adb start-server
Cheers...
Updated Android platform tools and when I flashed the latest bootloader didn't get that error again. The update must have cleared up the problem. Hopefully it won't happen again. Is there something you are supposed to do after flashing to ensure that the terminal doesn't rename open in the background in windows?

Hello,
By "rename" you meant "remain" ?
I don't think so... But you can right click on your windows taskbar and open task manager.
Look at processes and see if ADB.exe is still running. You can also tic:
"Show processes for all users" and see here...
Cheers...
