hi, i have adb recognizing my phone, but i still can't seem to push the files over.... every time i try, i get 'cannot stat 'su' : No such file or directory'. i have made sure over and over to put the files in the same folder where adb is.... actually i have tried placing the files in the tools folder, as well as the platform-tools folder, and i keep getting that error when i try to push anything.
any suggestions? thx

i had the same issue with something i was trying to push. I think you need to make sure you have exactly the same file name like caps and all. i was trying to push rootexplorer.apk and i got the same message but i then changed it to RootExplorer.apk and it work.(notice the difference in caps)
just watch this and it'll explain everything.

Does it matter where sdk is installed my file path is
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
instead of
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
I just installed it in the default location.
I type adb remount and get the not recognised command.....
Thanks.
I don't think my phone is being picked up?

Make sure your have the drivers for your phone installed first of all.....Then, in your command prompt you have to change directories to the sdk (which you made harder by not installing to C:\
Try: cd Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then type: adb devices
That should return "xxxxxxdevice" connected....Then you know you have it set up.
Look in kyouko sig he has all the commands for adb

Flashing fresh ROM via ADB in Linux
Hello there.
M volumeUp and VolumeDown buttons are broken on my rooted Desire HD, so I cannot go through CWM any longer.
With regard to this post, I would ask the followings:
1) can this method be used to flash a new ROM (i.e. Coredroid, Leedroid..) without the need of those 2 buttons ?
2) My PC runs Linux. How does it work with this O.S. ?
Thanks

There is a thread somewhere on how to flash without a SD card and flashed using adb I believe, but don't take my word for it. Adb works fine with Linux, just have to set it up differently. Look in my sig and select the compile aosp on Ubuntu one and follow instructions on getting the USB set up.

Hi I need help. I accidentally wipped my phone in CWM and now I'm trying to use adb push to push the update.zip into my phone sd everything seems to work but then in CMW it says there are no files..
any suggestions?
[Edit]
nevermind
I kept trying different locations
not sure which one did the trick but I'll list the one's I tried
so \update.zip /sdcard/
.... /sdcard/update.zip
(note I put "/update.zip" thinking maybe it needed to be reallocated to the same file/destination
Can i use adb push *.apk /system/app to push several files at once, and then repeat but using *.odex instead of *.apk? I keep ending up getting the same error, and i want to find out which app is messing with me...

I've had the SDK on my computer for months but never really got into ADB. When I go into tools and click on ADB it opens up and closes within a second. I'm trying to root my MT4G but the terminal method just isn't working for me so I'm going to try ADB. What do I have to do to get ADB setup and working with my MT4G?
Let me get home (be about 30 to 45 min) and I will try and walk you thru it.

ADB is a tool that needs to be ran from CMD Prompt. Just a quick example to make sure your seeing your phone and assuming you have already extracted the SDK package. FYI, I moved the tools folder into the sdk folder, makes it easier to access. I would open cmd promt and type:
Note: Hit enter at the end of each line.
cd \
cd sdk/tools
adb devices (this will start deamon and then show you your device if ADB drivers are installed.
To install the drivers plug your phone in and let it auto mount your sdcard then run HTCDriver.exe. Unplug your phone and plug it back in, it should now install the driver needed for ADB. To verify everything is installed right go to your Devices and look for Android USB Devices and under that should be My HTC.
Check out this link. Its kinda a how to typed up back in the G1 days.

Hello, I am just curious if anyone knows of updates that will allow mac compatibility for rooting and bootloader unlocks. I know a lot of this is new, but I do not own a windows computer and I am not able to find a way to root my phone with my macbook.
I appreciate any help.
edit: I am also still running 4.1.52 and cannot get my phone to update... I thought there was a more current software available? Everytime I go into my phone to "update" is says my device is up to date.
bump it up!
In terms of rooting, can you not use gingerbreak? It's an apk so it doesn't matter if you're on a Mac. You just need to get it onto your phone somehow.
I'm also on a Mac, and for most things, I use the OS X version of adb and redo any windows batch scripts to bash style. There aren't too many mods that use actual windows execs, except rsd lite.
Otherwise you'll need bootcamp / virtualbox and a copy of windows...

I've done everything (except flash radio) on mac. There are binaries available for mac for "moto-fastboot", "adb (google SDK)" and "sbf_flash". Just search the forums. All commands will be through the terminal and will be the same as linux version

sbf_flash is here: http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2011/04/universal-binaries-running-same.html#more
and there's a version of adb in gingerbreak.apk if you don't want to install adb with the android sdk.
I dont know what that means... haha! Hopefully superoneclick works for the atrix eventually.

Add the directory where fastboot and adb are to the $PATH variable in ~/.profile
Also you can add it temporarily with the command set $PATH=$PATH:/path/to/adb
Edit: detailed instructions.
In your home folder create a folder, let's call it android_tools
Copy adb, moto-fastboot, etc to it.
Open terminal
type nano .profile
add in the file the next line:
export PATH=$PATH:~/android_tools;
press ctrl+x, then y to save the file and quit from nano
close Terminal
Open Terminal then type adb or moto-fastboot or whatever is inside android_tools and this command should be recognized.
if it fails, maybe you need to set exec permissions to the commands, open terminal, type cd ~/android_tools, then type chmod +x *
Hope this help

Hi everybody
Today I've just messed up my phone by deleting all TWRP backups as well as ROM zip files on my N4 (haven't found out why i did it, hell!)
Now after wipe my current rom, I've totally in the middle of "NoRom"
I have TWRP, and Nexus 4 Toolkits installed on my PC. I think all drivers are installed correctly as well, since I used them to unlock bootloader and root my N4 before.
But i just cannot figure out how to "ADB sideload" zip file to my device in order to flash a new rom.
So please guild me to do this. Many thanks
Note: I read on TWRP page and they say that I have to enable adb sideload in TWRP on my N4 (of which i've done), then "From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip". From that point I cannot understand. How and where could I open the command line?
(sounds noobie but since downloading that Toolkits, I've got rid of pure ADB things, so now I don't have the sdk)
Thank you.
Lol, getting rid of ADB especially when you have a nexus was a bad idea. You need ADB, so you also need the SDK (although you *might* find only adb.exe and associated files here on XDA, which should be sufficient for this particular process, but I still recommend the SDK as it is quite handy).
Once you set up the SDK on your pc, go to the folder which has adb.exe, and open a command prompt there. That's the command line you need to use for adb sideload. From there, you can simply type adb sideload file_name.zip, which will place the file_name.zip on your sdcard.
Edit: Forgot to mention this. I never used toolkits and advise using the manual method which will teach you a lot and is more comfortable to use once you get the hang of it, believe me.

I tried sideload on my nexus 4 but it gives me this error...
"failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)"
I have been trying to sideload cm 10.2 since my phone is stuck on the google boot logo...any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Cheers beforehand!
close "adb.exe" in task manager
Help please. I've done the same thing as the OP. I do not know what to do next.
I am unable to mount the phone. I click on "Mount" from TWRP's main screen and nothing registers on my computer.
Under Advanced I am able to click on ADB Sideload but then the adb commands do not work to sideload a rom. I am able to use the command adb devices and that returns a response. I have also tried the adb push command to move the rom onto the phone with no response.
What should I do next?
Standard adb functions work on the main menu of twrp
Here is the easiest method.
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

If I try to sideload small files (like supersu) it works, with rom.zip files not..
I have "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *" after some seconds.

Totally agree! I used this to get a handle on ADB/fastboot and have been good ever since. Which version of OSX are you using, OP? I followed the above guide and use manual command on OSX 10.10.5. I have heard there are some issues on 10.11 though.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I used ruby (built in with osx) inside the terminal to install homebrew. Then install android-platform-tools using homebrew. This installs fastboot and adb, AND adds these programs to PATH so you can use adb or fastboot command no matter which folder the terminal has open. Hope this helps!
EDIT:

Yes I have rooted my 6p using macbook pro. You have to CD to platform-tools and make the command ./adb devices
That was my problem. Adb wasn't even recognized unless I did ./ before the adb command

I don't make that assumption.
I have been using Macs exclusively for 15+ years.
I have never owned an iPhone. I like MacOS because it's got BSD Unix under the hood.
I had a NeXT before that.
Here is the easiest way to install adb/fastboot on a Mac, also installs it correctly in your PATH.
Also if you are running El Capitan, see this.
I have been using Fedora Linux to root my devices and as long as the path is setup you do not need the "./" but once you are booted into fastboot, even with proper path, you need the ./fasboot (Don't ask me why, haven't figured it out). You may also have to execute fastboot as
sudo ./fastboot

If you use the link at the top, the ./ isn't required any longer, not sure why.
Everyone thank you so much for all the information. I have been a Windows guy all my life. I bought this macbook about a year ago and I'm still learning. Windows I can go into the registry and tweak almost anything....Mac I fee like a rookie. As I mentioned earlier I think I will use my Surface Pro 3 this weekend to root the phone. This way I won't have to worry about doing anything wrong or get frustrated!

The issue is that I need to use sudo to execute the command fastboot. Since it's sudo it doesn't have the proper path, hence the need to add the ./
