Adb push is to send something to the phone. You needt to put that file in your tools directory on the computer, then navigate there as you demonstrated properly.
Adb push FILENAME /Location/
To access the shell
Adb shell
$ not root access
# root access
To mount the file system with th adb remount command, you need busybox installed. Otherwise you have to mount it from the shell (sorry don't have the long ass command memorized, but its all over here)

feeling like a serious noob today--ADB linux help

ok well i've been using adb for a while now via windows on our desktop, my laptop however runs ubuntu. but i've run into a problem.....I CAN'T OPEN ADB IN LINUX! using terminal i navigate to the proper location then i initiate adb shell but i get an error saying the command doesn't exist...what am i doing wrong?

tried ./adb ?
if you haven't added ADB to path it won't be recognized as a command, then you'd have to execute it using ./adb

Hi, adb
is located in <android-sdk-folder>/platform-tools folder. You could add it into your $PATH variable in .bashrc . Than it's ready to use from anywhere

[How To] Setup ADB for Windows/ Mac

For Windows
Want to set up ADB or Android Debugging Bridge on your PC, here is a quick guide for you. This tutorial does not need large download or full Android SDK installation. You will just have to download a small compressed file, which is all that you require.
STEP 1: First download this file called ADBUNZIPTOCDRIVE.zip, just click on the link, download will start automatically.
STEP 2: Now download PdaNet for driver installation. It comes with drivers from all major manufacturers, so this is all you need. Install PDAnet after downloading.
STEP 3: Now extract the zip file that we downloaded in the first step to C drive and name the extracted folder ADB.
STEP 4: Now we will go to the desktop and right click to make a new shortcut.
STEP 5: Point the shortcut to ADB folder that we created in step 3, and name the shortcut ADB or whatever you want.
STEP 6: Now right click on that shortcut and go to properties and change START IN field to c:\adb.
STEP 7: Click Apply or OK and you are done. Click on ADB shortcut on the desktop and you are good to go.
Here is list of ADB commands that might be useful for you in the future.
adb devices – list all connected devices
adb push <local> <remote> – copy file/dir to device
adb pull <remote> [<local>] – copy file/dir from device

adb emu <command> – run emulator console command
adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] – View device log
adb forward <local> <remote> – forward socket connections forward specs are one of: tcp:<port>
localabstract:<unix domain socket name>
localreserved:<unix domain socket name>
localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>
dev:<character device name>
jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)
adb jdwp – list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport
adb install [-l] [-r] [-s] <file> – push this package file to the device and install it
adb uninstall [-k] <package> – remove this app package from the device (‘-k’ means keep the data and cache directories)
adb bugreport – return all information from the device
that should be included in a bug report.
adb help – show this help message
adb version – show version num
adb wait-for-device – block until device is online

adb get-serialno – prints: <serial-number>
adb status-window – continuously print device status for a specified device
adb remount – remounts the /system partition on the device read-write
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] – reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader – reboots the device into the bootloader
adb root – restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions
adb usb – restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB
adb tcpip <port> – restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port

[How To] Setup ADB for Mac
For MAC
Want to setup ADB on a mac, this tutorial should help you. This guide does not require the full Android SDK installation on your mac to use Android Debug Bridge, rather you just have to install the required files and you are good to go.
STEP 1: Download Required ADB files ZIP from here.
STEP 2: Extract the downloaded ZIP to a folder/directory that you can easily locate.
STEP 3: While you can start using ADB right away, but you will have to navigate to the folder that you created by unzipping the ADB files, to use ADB. So, we will make an entry in ~/.bash_profile configuration files to make ADB accessible from terminal normally from anywhere.
STEP 4: Open Terminal on your mac and type the following command
nano ~/.bash_profile
STEP 5: The above command will open a file in a text editor, now add the following line in the end of that file.
export PATH=${PATH}:your_sdk_dir
your_sdk_dir is the path to folder that you created in STEP 2. It will be something like Users/George/platform-tools
Image Credit: tjrocks91
STEP 6: Save the file and type the following command
source ~/.bash_profile
STEP 7: Now, quit Terminal
STEP 8: Optional: You can install PDAnet by downloading from here; it installs the drivers for popular Android device manufacturers or you can individually download and install drivers for your phone/tablet manufacturer by going to their official website.
Before you connect your Android device to mac, make your to turn on USB Debugging by going to Setting>Applications>Development on your tablet/phone.
And you are done. Connect your device and type adb devices in terminal. It should show your device in the list.

No offense, but there are already loads of threads like this!
Now as you made the thread, make it better
Ask a mod to merger this with your other thread it would be easier to manage
Add a Linux section too
You can find the drivers on Sam firmware, no need to install PDA net for that
Also, adding some pictures would be nice.

Thanks, note taken.

Thanks, especially for the functions you given down. Will try them later on.

If you use "control (on your keyboard) and E" it allows you to exit the editor but gives you the option to save before you do. Just follow the instructions and it'll save.

Here is a link to an automated script I made that installs adb on the Mac for you. For users that don't wanna mess with the command line.

I feel kind of lame, but for some reason whenever I input something such as adb devices, it tells me adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[Q] How to Root LG G2 on a Mac

Does anyone here have any tools or guides on how I can achieve root on my Verizon LG G2 on my mac in terminal or via a tool like this one which seems to only be windows based: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
I don't have access to a windows machine at home that I can use to get root on my LG G2. I would really appreciate it if someone could make a guide (Text or Youtube even better) or a root tool like the one I linked to above. I'm not trying to be a mac snob which I'm not...I just do a lot of design work and photo editing and have used Mac's since I find that most of the studios I deal with all use them and I need to be able to exchange files that are compatible. I would really appreciate some help with regards to doing this on my MAC. Thanks for listening and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks again.

I'm also looking for a Mac solution. I'm a long time Android user but have a Macbook. Hoping someone comes up with Mac version.

I used the method by thecubed in the development section. I unzipped it and followed the adb commands in the .bat file (right click that file, open with text editor). Don't forget the part about unplugging the USB cable and disabling and then enabling debugging.

But, did you do it on a Mac?
Thank you Devs. From my LG G2.

Yes, all through terminal.

I can post the specifics, but I'm not a developer and most likely could not help you if you or I happen to mess something up.

That would be great if you could post the specifics. Would really love to see how you did it.

WARNING! This is just what worked for me, and it's just the adb commands from thecubed's program. All credit goes to him, I didn't do any of this, just took the info from it.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
Download it, unzip it, and then take a moment to go back and thank him if you didn't do that.
You are not actually using his program, just the files and commands. Everything is done using Terminal and the Finder. You must have ADB working, look elsewhere for instructions on setting that up.
The files used here are the Verizon versions of the files, which I used for my phone. They are also specific to the OTA'd Verizon software, "11A" so there are different files if you haven't installed the OTA. These commands are correct, but the files being pushed aren't all the same between different carrier models and do not work with any other carrier. All the right stuff for other carriers is contained in thecubed's program.
The bold sections are files you need to send over adb, you can manually enter the file pathway or drag the files from finder into terminal after the adb commands (and before you type the destinations).
One more warning; if this is your first time using adb or terminal, I don't recommend this as your first try. It's super easy to screw something up in terminal.
Your phone must have developer options enabled and usb debugging on. plug in your phone via usb and select "Internet" and then "Ethernet."
adb push ytiruces_1a_vzw /sdcard/ytiruces_1a
Unplug usb, disable USB debugging and then re-enable it. Plug USB back in.
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell "chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su;chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su;sync;mount -o remount,ro /system"
adb install superuser.apk
exit

thanks for this.

I used parallels installed Windows 7 I could have drove home and grabbed my laptop but that would have been to easy lol.
But now my mom is happy to see Windows android and osx lion on a 2009 MacBook pro I was surprised how well it went I thought I was going to have driver issues or something would go wrong but it was like I was using a straight up Windows 7 laptop. If that program was available for ubuntu a lot if people would be happy campers ?

I am needing to flash this thing back to stock so I can take it to the Verizon Store for an exchange. All I really have is a Mac.... I'd really like to know how to flash it back to stock, unrooted. I have some experience, but please be very clear as I really don't want to mess up. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.

you wouldnt happen to know which files in there are for the tmobile g2 would you? im also trying to root on mac.

You'll have to look in the .bat file, it will show which file needs to be used for T-Mobile.

Haven't used adb before, but I'm no noob to rooting /flashing. I got adb installed and working on my computer now (running Ubuntu). After I launch adb in the terminal, then I just type these commands? (copy paste?)

You could only copy and paste if you have a Verizon g2 with the ota update, if it's any other version you'll be using different files than the ones I have used.

Yeah, I have the Verizon g2 and I guess it's got the ota... There are no pending updates right now

Two problems on mac
I'm getting two error messages. The first is a line 2 error on the g2 security. The second is 'operation not permitted' for a mount command. Anyone have any solutions?

Use adb, no PC or root required!

Hey guys i stumbled on this today and thought I would share. I always found having adb installed on my rooted phone to be handy when it came to installing things on my FireCube. Turns out a rooted phone is not required. I was able to connect to my FireCube wirelessly using "adb connect". You only need to install Termux from the app store and copy and paste this if you can, then hit enter. Or click the link then copy it there.
apt update && apt install wget && wget https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB/raw/master/InstallTools.sh && bash InstallTools.sh
This may be old news but I find it impressive we can have adb on our phones. It most likely works with most phones I have a Pixel 3a.

Pretty great

I thought this was amazing because I thought you needed root to get adb on your phone.
I found out that if install this then connect to a PC with a USB cable, open adb on the pc, type 'tcpip 5555'. You can then disconnect it, open Termux, type adb connect "your phone ip" From there you can use adb on your phone with your phone!...........Mind Blown. Android 10 no root
No one cares but I thought I'd share. It will always work until you restart your phone. Then you need to do the pc again if you want to use it again. Why not just use the pc for adb while you have it connected, you ask?.......I don't know, lol. I guess I like to do things that were not intended. I miss Root

Good stuff here. I have always just used osm0sis's adb fastboot enabler/magisk module. I've unlocked several bootloaders using that and terminal emulator and a otg cable. $5 on eBay is what I paid for mine.. (edit)
Does it still allow you to sudo -or- su and run command as root or no? I tried a while back to install fastboot and adb from termux using their directions from the app and I couldn't get it to work but that's been a while. If you ever need a quick fix and can't get to your laptop or whatever a quick search in magisk manager will bring up the adb fastboot module created by Surge and Osm0sis. Take like 2 secs to install reboot and you have adb and fastboot. Just do "su" for root though and not sudo. su (enter) then fastboot boot recovery.img or whatever you want to do. Works like a charm. I'm going to go venture in to this now here and tinker a bit. Thanks for sharing your find.

For some reason it won't load.
