Trying to take a poll to see if anyone would be interested in getting adb and fastboot commands working.
The idea here would be to gain access to your rooted android phone and shell into it and gain access to fastboot commands aswell as adb commands from our tab.
The usage, so you can have a way to recover your android phone in a worst case scenario when you have no access to a computer with adb set up.
Let me know.

Thanks for asking. I think it would be great to be able to use the tab that way. Be great to get adb and fastboot access when out of the house without a pc.
Most of us here on XDA are not devlopers. I think if you have knowledge to get this done or started Do so.post what you have and how you are moving forword. Development might get interested and move forward .This is normally how I have seen XDA work its magic
Good luck
Just a.geeky blonde here sorry
Would be great. Looking forward to it

I perm rooted my phone about 2 hours ago and started hacking through bloatware using root explorer. I have a lot of downloaded apps from the market which has caused a small performance drop out of the box and this phone has probably doubled in how quick it is after removing bloatware. The process to perm root is easy and can be done using connectbot or another terminal emulator on your phone if you are not comfortable or have no experience with adb shell. I have never used adb shell and using connectbot triple checking my typing it took me 10-15 mins. One downside for now is no huge quadrant scores to show off, mine is still high 1500s to low 1600s

should be noted quadrant scores will go way up once the processor gets overclocked....rooting and removing bloat alone wont really raise quadrant scores but will still save battery, free up internal memory and just less stuff to open in the background...also once we can overclock this processor can hit 1.8-1.9ghz since its just like the G2 processor...then quadrant scores should double maybe even triple!

Jo I unfortunately don't know how to use adb, I wanted to post this for those people that are uncomfortable or don't know how to use adb. I wanted to assure them that using connectbot is very easy as long as they follow the instructions on the guide.

Hey guys I gave some instructions in the perm root thread over in the development section. I hope these help you.
Make sure you install HTC Sync for the USB drivers first. If you have previously installed it you should be good to go.
SDK and adb
I've also put a seperate thread up with a guide that should get you started

Worked for me. Just start at Step 3. I made sure and copied and pasted the commands to ensure accuracy and then sight checked to make sure it was exactly right.

Hey everyone,
I may have a *possible* fix for the corrupt EFS/NV data issue.
I need some testers.
In order to qualify to test, you must meet these criteria:
- WILLING TO RISK PERMANENTLY BRICKING YOUR NEXUS S
- Advanced understanding of:
-- Android itself
-- Android's inner workings
-- the Nexus S hardware
-- multiple backup and restore procedures
-- debugging
-- adb
-- Linux shell (bash/sh) and console utilities
- good communication skills
- able to follow instructions
- running a recent build of CyanogenMod 7
- root access
- willing to install an APK
- Google Talk
- Agree to not divulging or sharing details of the procedure, as this is my work and does entail risks
If you would like to help me test, please send me an email at [email protected] and we'll get started.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am lacking in the Linux ADB Shell area but TeamViewer comes in handy. Someone built a kernel for the Epic Touch working off of my computer and he's in Massachusetts ...I am in Cali. He doesn't have the phone. I hooked mine up, gave him password and he was working from ADB on my PC. Let me make sure I have a 3rd fallback phone. My Epic Touch is too good to risk using as work phone

Hey so I saw that they made a mod where you can jailbreak a ps3 through flashing the firmware on the phone or something ( I don't know it didn't work in the atrix) but my windows somehow locked my hard drive and I need command prompt to unlock. I was wondering is it possible to somehow put a live Ubuntu disc or a windows ISO( anything that's bootable) on my phone and bring my laprop back to life? I'm not able to burn any CD's right now. So yeah I think it'd be pretty cool if this is/can be possible. Or maybe some kind of webtop through usb that's able to boot off a laptop. I don't know. These are just idea that pop into my head. Not sure iftheyre possible CD

i have a Rezound, Galaxy Nexus, and Droid DNA and adb works fine. I've tried different cables and different usb ports.
Weird part...........
if I reboot into bootloader, fastboot works fine. and if Im in recovery,adb works fine.
See picture.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
AW: adb not working properly
It's a new security feature and there are already several threads about that topic. Normally on your tablet a popup message should be shown asking you whether you want to allow your PC to access.

i got it! i'm not even sure what I did but the damn message finally came up.
i think the trick is....even if your ADB is in your PATH...you gotta cd/sdk/platform-tools and then use ./adb instead of just adb

I've seen several threads of people either complaining where the OTA is, asking if anybody had gotten it, or asking those that have received it, to stand up and say so.
Quite frankly I'm immensely perplexed. :what::what::what:
You have at your fingertips the two greatest sources of techy knowledge mankind has ever known.
XDA and Google.
I gladly boast, yes I didn't care to wait and ADB sideloaded the 4.4 OTA zip.
Yes, I ran into issues, but I dug my heels, put my nose to the grindstone, and did some serious XDA'ing and Google'ing and figured it out. And, no data was lost, all data was preserved! After installing GEL with the latest Google search apk, couldn't be happier!
All those impatient souls that took things into there own hands. Let the world know, yes I choose not to wait for Google to give me a hand out, and ADB sideloaded that bad boy!!! :thumbup::beer:

You don't understand.... It's a new feature in Android. You have to download and find the way to install the update yourself.
I'm sure it will make Android more popular and attractive than Apple.

It wasn't android that was the issue. All the software I got from Google worked as it should. It was my windows 8.1 PC that was giving me headaches. And it didn't take that long, hour at most. I to, don't have much time to spare.

It takes less time to sideload the OTA manually than it does to spam check for the update and spam post complaints about not receiving it yet. It's very simple. I don't know why there are so many complicated guides.
Here's my guide:
adb sideload filename.zip

Side note: this only works if you're using the OTA. Only slightly more tricky -- flashing the factory image.

OK, actually made a real guide now. Unsolicited advice: make your android life easier. Learn how to install SDK and run adb and fastboot commands. Avoid toolkits for things that take one command line.

done thanks
If you are stock, locked, and un-rooted you can sideload the OTA update and not lose a single thing.
The longest part of the process is downloading and installing the android SDK (if you don't already have it), which really isn't bad at all with an average broadband connection.
I already had the SDK loaded, so it took me about 20 minutes start to finish to do the 4.4 update (and that includes the time needed to download the 185MB ota file).

You don't need to full SDK to do sideloading.
You only need the platform tools, in particular, 3 files from the platform tools totalling around 954kb
No idea why, but of the 3 nexus 7 I maintain (2 for my kids + a friends) 2 of them got the update, one didn't. Downloaded update, applied via sideload, all is right in the world.... (except the digitizer on my friends... it's a hot mess.)

I didn't want nor need to install the full SDK, but when I tried out ATGAdmin's one-click restore I wound up with a few files that seem to have worked for me since then. I just wanted to know what 3 files they might be.
I've got:
fastboot.exe
adb.exe
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
Are any of these the ones you are referring to?
Thanks in advance
You'll need correct drivers as well. Commands I used follow:
adb devices
(verify that device shows up)
adb reboot bootloader
This boots you into bootloader. Then choose recovery.
Wait for android w ! mark on him. Hit Power+VolUp together
Use menu to choose something like "Apply update from adb"
then
adb sideload <filename.zip>
Note, this is what I did. I have full sdk installed.
