Problems with ADB

So I'm not a novice ADB user and have used it to root at least 5 or 6 phones. I'm attempting to root my kindle fire right now and running into problems. I built a new PC since the summer and never bothered to reinstall ADB. I just downloaded the Google SDK and from my memory that includes ADB and you can usually get it going from there. I read some tutorials on how to set it up but after following them perfectly I can't get it to even start the ADB server. Anytime I type any ADB commands in it says adb.exe not found or it not being a valid command.
Any quick advice?

Download Kindle Fire Utility...

It has a batch file that will install the necessary ADB drivers and you'll find the fastboot/adb executables in the tools directory.

That's what I thought was weird. I ran the drivers.bat, it says they're all installed and I still can't start the adb server or communicate with it. And the kindle shows up as it's supposed to when the adb drivers are installed under devices.
PS thanks for the quick response.

That's a new one to me. I think the adb server should be able to start even without the device attached. Maybe your original SDK install went wrong and it did something funny to your system? Sorry... I got nothing.

Don't want to sound too simple, but have you changed to the directory that adb.exe is installed in before trying to run it?

Yeah I changed the directory. I got it up and running kind of but now when I try the adb devices command it pops up as "connected devices" with nothing showing under it. The kindle fire utility also shows the adb server as not running always. Odd?

This happened to me its supposed to show up as Android composite adb interface its just a problem in that .android hidden file

The youtube video did it for me. I appreciate the time taken to help point me in the right direction.

Root ph7 firmware? Needing hotspot

Hello all, I'm trying to get a workable hotspot for my wifes S7 on sprint. She has PH7 firmware, from what I have been reading I can't root with that firmware. True or no? If not should I go ahead and update? TIA

I can root any Samsung firmware for you. 7.1.1 included down to 4.4.2

To make it faster find out your Firmwares revision (enter recovery with key combos) and download matching firmware file at androidfilehost.com or similar to get started.

Hotspot Hack
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers
a. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2588979
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
4. Get into ADB shell
a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)
b. Run:
Code:
adb shell
5. Enable the bypass
a. Disable the DUN requirement
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
b. Overwrite the DUN APN
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"
6. Turn off Mobile Data
7. Turn on HotSpot
8. Turn on Mobile Data
Every time that you want to use the hotspot you have to turn data off; turn hotspot on; turn data back on. When you disconnect your hotspot you need to do the following:
1. Turn Hotspot Off
2. Turn Mobile Data Off
3. Turn Mobile Data On
People will complain, but after you run the code the first time, turning hotspot on and off literally takes just seconds.

Awesome, it worked great, thanks a lot xdaSEx10! How would you revert back to original settings if need be?

Actually, I spoke too soon. It worked a far as it allows me to create the hotspot, but it doesn't share the internet data.
I followed your steps exactly. Any idea of a solution please?
Thanks!

Did you follow the directions and copy the correct code? It should work flawlessly. I would try it again just to double check. To use make sure you:
1. Turn off mobile data
2. Turn on hotspot
3. Connect device to hotspot
4. Turn on mobile data
You have to do this for it to work.

Hi thanks, I got it working! I ended up finding the OP with these same instructions listed as the alternative method.
I used the first method in that post, with slightly different adb commands, and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!

ADB driver woes

New laptop (to me) Dell e7470.
Win7 x64
Phone: XT1575
Installed:
MotorolaDeviceManager_2.5.4
MotoHelper_2.1.32_Driver_5.4.0
Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_6.4.0_64bit
(also tried Kushik Dutta universal adb driver from 2013)
No adb driver detected or found when all the other drivers install fine when plugging in the phone
I've tried multiple usb cables, but this all works fine on my other computers.
If reboot to fastboot Motorola ADB driver is found and installed
But no adb driver when in rom
I've done this successfully for years, first android device many moons 2008ish
I dont know why this laptop is giving me troubles, or maybe i'm just gettin old and forgot a basic sequence or step to success.
Thanks for any ideas, its got to be something dumb.

You need to turn on usb debugging - developer options.
Minimal adb & fastboot installed too.
Dev.opt. - settings - infi about phone - tap few times compilation number. @eigerzoom
What for do you need adb if fastboot works?
MDM is all you need for drivers.

I have adb debugging enabled
I apparently need it for tethering, since that isn't working.
Works just fine on my other win7 asus laptop.
Any other ideas?
it feels like windows is missing something, but its hard to feel a computer

Run cmd and type:
adb devices

I've done that, thats how i test it.
its blank
actually i test it with 'adb usb' which gives error: no devices

File transfer works?

how would it transfer files if no device is found?
adb device shows up in device manager with an error

File transfer - mtp - not needed adb drivers. From notification bar you can change/enable when connected.
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------
Error in win dev manager - rpm - update driver - choose from installed.
Find & choose "adb device".

I'll test it soon, sorry
Also in developer settings you can choose usb configuration mode
if I cycle through them all
All drivers get recognized except in 'audio source' mode xt1575 no drivers install, and in 'rndis usb ethernet' no adb drivers install

I haven't Windows english version - I don't know names.
So I suggest:
Uninstall all Android programms(apps) & drivers from pc, restart pc.
Install and run MDM, when it finished connect Moto with debugging on, allow the connection on Moto(it should ask itself) .

Anyone else???

No try what @dzidexx suggested, before asking for someone else! Especially since his solution isn't hard to try out and see if it works!

I've done all that....obviously....
ANYONE ELSE ???

something tells me i have to install a stock rom to get the adb driver to install
and then it will work fine installing other roms after that
running LOS13 currently
i've run into this in the distant past on pre 2010 devices
anyone else with ideas?

Solution for the data error in Android Oreo/NoRoot/CarrierService without credit

Hello, so, I wanted to share a solution found in the Google forum of the Google Pixel device, which comes to try to solve a failure that when we ran out of credit or data to navigate, we blocked the connection to the Internet, then we could not use services like "WhatsApp" that have unlimited connection in some plans.
I leave the link of the forum where I found that solution and a quote from the text

No internet from hotspot since 8.1 update

Since the 8.1 update of my MI A1 i can't make a wifi hotspot for my other devices. The other devices can connect perfectly, but they don't have internet. I use a dual sim and i have the issue with both providers. When i use the sim in a other phone i can hotspot perfectly. I found some things to remove the APN Type or fill in <blank> but that does not work either.
I installed the August patch, but that did solved the issue as well.

Hmm, when i turn off 1 sim card i have a working hotspot. No the kind of workaround/solution i wanted but at least it is something.

Try add "default,supl,dun" on APN type

Add the same issue and found the solution somewhere on the net. It's working fine since then.
1 - Put your phone in debugging mode
Under Setting -> system -> about phone, tap repeatedly on Build Number, until the prompt asks if you want to enable developer mode
2 - Enable USB debugging on your phone
Under Setting -> system -> Developer options turn on USB Debugging
3 - plug your phone into USB, there may be a popup to allow remote debugging, allow this.
4 - Open a command window, and browse to the folder where you have adb.
5 - Type the following and press the [Enter] key
adb shell
This starts the Android shell (terminal where commands can be typed), which can work on your phone.
Once in the shell, type this:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Press return. To confirm it worked, type this and press return:
settings get global tether_dun_required
It should print out a zero.
Then type either quit or exit

Had the time to test this and this worked @datasource. Thanks for the answer.

Not fixed in Android 9. Hardresetted my phone

no hotspot after resetting or manual dns
Hi!
Same happens to me since I bought a new sim card last week. Tried the DNS manual change to 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4., re-set all wifi and data networks. Can't add ',dun' to APN type and haven't been able to access shell on adb window programme - any extra advice you could suggest?
