[GUIDE][HOW TO]ADB & Fastboot From Anywhere in Command Prompt

Hello, this a quick guide on how to get adb and fastboot working from anywhere in command promt. You might ask why this is useful? Well if you set your system up like this, you can use adb and fastboot from practically anywhere. This is very convenient and saves you having to navigate to your SDK every time you want to do something with your phone. So let's get started!
Prerequisites:
Windows 7 or Windows 8
Java JDK downloaded and installed.
Android SDK, preferred location:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK
See note
First, right click My Computer and select Properties. From there, select Advanced system settings.

"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"
}
Then, select Environment Variables
You will now get a box that looks like this. Select edit, here is the important part.
Do NOT delete any of the text in the field, simply add:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools
to the end of the text field, like this
Note: This assumes that your Android SDK, tools and platform-tools folders are setup in the same directory as mine, if not please modify the path accordingly
After you've edited the text field, press okay, then okay again and voila. Finished!
From now on, whenever you need to use adb or fastboot simply open command prompt and type away

[Guide][NST] Changing your Nook's UI language

Hello,
If you'd like to change the language your Nook uses for its user interface, you have come to the right place! The only two things you need for this guide are root access and the Terminal Emulator app (or you can use ADB, if you prefer). So, let's get started!
As we all know, the Nook's stock settings page is rather pathetic, to say the least. In reality, there are many more settings options than the ones listed there, one of which is Development Settings. To access Development Settings on your Nook, you're going to need to execute an am start command from a shell. If you're using the Terminal Emulator app provided below, use this:
Code:
$ su
# am start -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings
(the $ and # characters are provided for presentational purposes)
If you're using ADB over wireless from your computer, use this:
Code:
[path] > adb start-server
[b][path] > adb connect [ipaddress]:[port][/b]
[path] > adb shell
# am start -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings
# exit
[path] > adb kill-server
[path] > exit
If you're using ADB over USB on your computer, use the same commands as above, except skip the line written in bold.
Using any of those three commands, a new settings screen will appear on your Nook Touch's screen. It will look something like this:
{
"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"
}
Now, the tough part is over. Tap on the listing named "Locale Picker[English(United States)]", and a list of selectable languages will appear on screen. Select whichever language you'd like to use, and you're done.
-Nookie

Multiple language resources and language selection on the development settings came in on the 1.30 version, I believe.

Guide | ADB and Fastboot | Latest

ADB and Fastboot installation guide for Windows | system wide
100% working on all windows​
Download latest ADB and Fastboot drivers, extract and replace to your existing adb and fastboot folder.
If you are installing adb and fastboot for the 1st time, follow the next steps:
1. Create a folder in C:\ , give it a desired name, (for me the adb.exe it's in: "C:\platform-tools")
2. Go to Control Panel -> System ->Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Environmental Variables
3. Add the adb path just like in the screenshots below.
{
"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"
}
Below, under "System variables" scroll down to the variable labeled "Path" and choose Edit and add the path of the adb.exe there too
Ok. Now you are ready to use adb and fastboot , everywhere you are. You don't have to 'cd' to the adb path anymore.
**If you ever get a bad alloc error or falling to an older adb version message in Windows 10 x64, just reboot your phone to recovery and try again.

How do i get the drvers? In fastboot it shows up as an unknown device

Click to expand...

Having fastboot installed on the PC should be enough. You sure the phone is booted to bootloader-fastboot mode (which is mandatory)? What is the response to the command: fastboot devices

bootloader unlock from a Mac (Sierra and prolly others)

This assumes you already have the latest version adb/fastboot installed on your Mac.
There's plenty of info here and else for that.
You are responsible for unlocking the bootloader.
Unplug all other USB devices. Most important step. It seems the HTC sometimes wants to own the USB.
Plug U11 into USB.
Toggle USB connection on U11 to File Transfer.
Launch Terminal (utilities) on your Mac.
enter "adb devices” in Terminal - should get serial back in Terminal window.
In Terminal - “adb reboot bootloader" .
“fastboot devices” should bring serial to Terminal window, and this screen on the U11.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Reboot to download mode by hand using the up/down volume keys and power to enter/choose.
Now in download mode enter “fastboot oem get_identifier_token" in Terminal.
Option click to mark: from <<<<Identifier Token Start>>>>
to
<<<<<Identifier Token End>>>>>
DO NOT highlight “INFO on any line.
The purpose of the option key is to be able to highlight and copy just what is needed.
Copy.
Now you can paste the "identifier_token" into the space of the htcdev.com page.
This will cause an email to be sent to you that will have an attachment of Unlock_code.bin , as well as a further link for the next couple steps to complete the Unlock process.
This Unlock_code.bin has to be dropped into the same folder as you have adb/fastboot in.
I use a subfolder of Downloads. In Terminal cd /Downloads/Android. Whatever works for you.

[How To] Disable Walmart button from Nav bar (to use gestures)

So I always hated how cramped the nav bar looked with Walmart button there. So, I found a way to disable it.
Requirements
Computer with ADB drivers installed.
And a cable
First you need to enable the developer options, to do so, you need to go to: settings->about the tablet->compilation number.
Tap it a few times until you enable the developer options,
Now, go to: settings->system->advance->developer options.
Scroll until you find usb debugging and enable it.
On your computer, open ADB and write the following command
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
The tablet should ask you for a confirmation, just accept it.
The gestures would be enabled shortly afterwards.
If you want to disable the gestures, you have to use this command.
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
{
"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"
}
You can also change the accent color to the following colors:
Black
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.black
Ocean
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.ocean
Cinnamon
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.cinnamon
Space
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.space
Green
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.theme.color.green
If you want to change the colors, you must first disable the color that is current enabled otherwise, it would not work.

Does this work on the Android 11 Go edition. Have an Onn surf 8 2nd gen.
