Some help with Eclipse and ADB in Linux

Hey, did a search but couldnt find a solution. I'm having problems getting my device to pull up in adb remount on Ubuntu. When I try remount it says no command 'adb' found sometimes or permission denied when it does work, I have root and USB debugging enabled on the devices (a Nexus One and G1). When I try adb devices I just get ?????????????? unknown.
Also, and I don't know if it's related, but in Eclipse, I can't get the SDK location loaded, I have the directory right, but when I hit Apply or OK nothing happens, it just doesnt load. So if I try to start a project I have no Build Targets to select from.
Any help would be appreciated. I have everything running fine in Windows but I'm fairly new to Linux I haven't used it in years. I'm running Ubuntu distro if that matters. Thanks.

i'm with you. i picked up the android sdk tarball, and am a little lost too . i tried getting adb to work in windows 7, but i can't get that going either. dangit. if someone could put up some good reference material, it'd be appreciated

Hello,
The problem with linux having trouble with adb probably lies with a permission issue try adb kill-server && sudo start-server.
The other issue is most likely because you did not download any targets yet. goto windows in eclipse and select android sdk and adv, then at available packages or something like that download your target

i can't even get that far. i switch to my androidSDK/tools and then "adb devices" all i get is 'no command adb found'

I did the first couple times too, then I went to command and did:
su
<enter password>
cd
export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools
then when I adb remount or adb devices it gives me the unknown device thing
but I think the next secret is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217
in like the 3rd post. However I think the export PATH is a temp fix because the ~/.bashrc needs to be modified with the path settings and I have no idea how to do that. I just get lots of permission errors or file not found for everything I try, even with root. I'm just using Eclipse in Windows for now, and hopefully someone can help us out cause I'd like to work on roms but I guess I need to brush my Linux up first.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5377103
i found some help elsewhere on the net, and posted it up at the end of this thread. they were having similar issues with the dream, apparently.
i also found this
that link there will probably get you hooked up

adb devices now has a readout!
and, you're right about adding the export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools to
~/.bashrc
i think this command will do it. run in terminal
gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc
i just made a comment line that says
# android sdk export path
and another line underneath it that says
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/timmyd/androidSDK/tools
because that's where i have the extracted sdk
all good, i think. now, let's see what's going on ...
oh yeah, don't forget to enable usb debugging on the device itself.
settings>applications>development
allow usb debugging

screeny works at least

Hi all!!!!
I have a problem with my HTC Tattoo, can't connect the tatto with adb in ubuntu and eclipse Helios.
/android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Thank you very much.

Hi, I have tha same problem with ????? and can't connect to eclipse my galaxy, so the solution is just use the instructions from the h**p://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html
I solve this problem with
1. Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-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+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Try pushing the fonts via ADB.
Assuming you have the Android SDK all ready @ C:\Android and USB debugging enabled:
(My fonts are named UbuntuRegular and UbuntuBold. Names can obviously differ).
- All you need to do is extract the fonts to C:\Android\tools
- Open Command Prompt (cmd) and type "adb devices" (See your device?)
- Type "adb push UbuntuRegular.ttf system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf [ENTER]
- Type "adb push UbuntuBold.ttf system/fonts/DroidSansBold.ttf [ENTER]
- Type "adb reboot" [ENTER]
ALWAYS WITHOUT ""

Works on the RCMixHD ROM, although it does cut the bottom off the temperature on the clock widget...anyone got a ZIP to revert back to stock?

Yeah, how to get the stock font back?

Uhm. How's that possible? :S
Boot your phone into Recovery - Mount /system and try again.
It's bound to work if you've got the SDK set up all OK.

the fonts installation works fine (with adb), but the Terminal Emulator shows bad (see my previous post).
i have tried with connectbot also, with same result

[Q] help me..

i've firstly root.ok.n then xrecovery.ok..but then when i want to enable JIT following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565,
my phone suddenly can't connect to wifi.and then the xrecovery cant be perform...and other things,how can i perform this operation?
(1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh)
i connect the phone to pc an enable debug mode,run cmd,but pc says cant detect..watsoever..
can anyone help me?

If you followed all instructions for JIT and your wifi doesn't work means it wasn't the correct version of Busybox. I recommend you to install Titanium Backup hit Problems? and install busybox. Then, when you copy all files for JIT, don't copy busybox, because you have already the latest one. It should work. It happend to me, too. The nasty part is that you need to repair your Android with PcCompanion/ SEUS.

do i need to repair my phone first with pc companion or repeat again the step?
n how to run cmd?do i need to enable debug?i dont know how to do this instruction,1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh

Well, if you have your phone rooted with superoneclick, then you got adb.exe. You need to access that folder into cmd. ex : c:\superoneclick\ and then with the phone connected (usb debug enabled) you can enter commands like adb shell and su. Try it. But wifi and xrecovery malfunctions are symptoms that something went wrong. Eventually repair with PcCompanion. Good Luck.

when i run the command prompt,it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file..is this because i didnt rooted my phone well?

Do you have adb.exe? Or superoneclick for root?

yeah.i have both.i downloaded superoneclick and inside ithave adb.exe..but when i click adb.exe,nothing happened.just a temporary command prompt about 2second and then its appeaered..

now open start-run->cmd and go to that folder. And only there you can run "adb shell".
So, in cmd you must be in that folder in order to input all commands.

go to that folder?what do u mean?open cmd from the folder?or open cmd and click to the folder?
sorry for the noob question..

This should look like. using commands like " cd .." to exit folder and use ' cd "name of folder" ' to enter one. it should work.

thank god.finally i know how to run command.thanks a lot redpik

guys..help me.how am i to solve this command error?

Please follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565 .
If you connect your phone to computer, make sure not to mount the sdcard. So, click on USB CONNECTION and select TURN OFF from the status bar. Make sure you have SUPERUSER application installed to grant access.
If it helps you, please consider pressing Thanks button.

sorry redpik..
i got big probs.. my homescreen and apps icon become smaller and i dont know whats going on.
is it brick or something else?
i try to use pc companion and seus,but it keep saying no update for my phone..
seriously,this small icon thing make me crazy..

I don't know what's with the screen, shouldn't have happened. Seus says no update, but Repair button is active so you can make it brand new. Then try again rooting and jit.

[Tutorial]How To -ADB- Logcat & Basic [NEW OR NOOB]

Well this my first own post on General Section
I am sharing how to use the (ADB)
which seem many of us should have some basic on it
(FASTBOOT) will be added later on.
-SIMPLE & EASY-
Is a proper way to tell what wrong's and bug you encountered by a log
Requirement :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Adb Driver for Xperia X8 or This Universal_Naked_Driver
-Adb files (Repacked for you)
-Android Version 1.6-4.1.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set Up
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the Driver For Adb for your device (Example :X8)
Unpack the Adb Files To A Folder (Named Whatever you like Example: Adb) on local disk C: (Recommend)
Turn on USB debugging on your phone: Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
Go to Start Menu and Search for CMD (Command Promt) (Run as adminstrator)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Prompt CMD with the location you extracted the ADB Files (Mine at C:/adb)
Therefore key in this
Code:
cd c:/adb
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Check Connected Device & Enable the Adb Server
Code:
adb devices
Wait for few seconds till the server is up and if you connection is working
Should show that the device name is there
If connection is offline should check whether build.prop has this line :
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
Add this line to build.prop if you need to do so
ADB Logcat
When able to have adb connection between device then you
can now do a pretty simple logcat
Code:
adb logcat > logcatfilename.txt
Replace "logcatfilename" with anything you like and shall log all over the text file
Can then stop logging just pressing Ctrl+C
Enable Access to System
If Encountered that your system not mounted
Code:
adb remount
If some still keeping error then need to boot cwm to adb
ADB Shell
Adb Shell Is A Little Advance So No Really Gonna Cover Up Here
Prompted by
Code:
adb shell
Checking Memory/Swap Progress
Code:
free
You can remove app/files by
Code:
rm -r /filelocation/filename.format
Replace " /filelocation/filename.format" with anything you want to remove such as latimime.apk so you replace with /system/app/latimime.apk
Adb Pull
Now You Should Know To Command using CMD
To Pull
Code:
adb pull /system/app/browser.apk
Replace "l/system/app/browser.apk" with location and file name you want to pull
Adb Push
Now You Should Know To Command using CMD
To Pull
Code:
adb push browser.apk /system/app
Replace " browser.apk /system/app" with file name(On the same folder of the adb files) & location you want to push that file into.
Adb Install
Should be same as pushing method but normally to data folder
Code:
adb install angrybird.apk /data/app
Replace "angrybird.apk /data/app" with file name(On the same folder of the adb files) & location you want to install into
Final :
I hope this Tutorial Is Clear Enough For Other's member which want to
learn adb.You can use this tutorial & i know there many more better adb tutorial
but i am just showing basic knowledge logcat and adb command that can easier
both developers and user.Any Comment & Suggestion can reply below.
I will fix/add if needed.Sorry for bad english & grammar

[Q] Nexus 10 ADB backup error

Before unlock and root my nexus 10, I tried to backup up my app and setting using ADB backup. However, no matter using Wug's toolkit or mskip's toolkit, the backup function doesn't work for me. Every time, after I click the backup button from my nexus 10, the PC screen just pop up a window says that the backup has completed. However, the backup .ab file size is 0 bytes. I tried several times and also tried to restart pc and tablet and turn the tablet to airplane mode before backup. Still doesn't work. Is something wrong with my nexus 10? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Is there no body having same problem?

i would not rely on a tool. best way is to enter the command directly either in linux terminal or windows command prompt.
go to the directory where sdk is installed and where u can find adb.
on my linux machine it is under /downloads/android-sdk-linux-x86/platform-tools/
make sure to be root
then i type in ./adb devices (to make sure adb finds my device)
then i go /.adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f /home/me/backup/something.ab
in windows fire up command prompt as administrator
go into ur adb directory
type adb devices
then adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f c:\backup\something.ab
hope it works

two possible workarounds are
first punch in a password for ur backup and see if it works
second use adb command thru terminal linux or command prompt windows
