I'm going to compile it on my Raspberry Pi the next chance I get and see if I can get it working. Does the installer at least work (even if it installs the old ADB) on your ARM Chromebook?

It works fine on my Mavericks Mac Mini. Try typing this command into the Terminal instead:

cd ~ && curl -s -o ./install.sh "http://github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/raw/master/install.sh" -LOk && chmod +x ./install.sh && ./install.sh && rm ./install.sh

I think you can delete it.

Both my sdcard/data and /data are empty, so in my opinion you can delete data/media folder contents.

ok, this is for internal memory/storage.

I believe its where my gb's gone into that /data/media folder
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piano13:
Surely you can delete it in a file explorer or recovery, but what do you want to do? /data/media stores most of your media file,such as music, video……deleting them to save space doesnt make sense……

This covered in the sticky threads, storage changes after update to 4.3.

It is best to save all your internal sd data to external, then format internal sd before flash a firmware. Otherwise you lose storage space to hidden junk.
[Galaxy Note II General] himka:
Hi,

I have a friend with a Russian note II and access to Russian Samsung store. He showed me a free new S-Note app upgrade for his note II available on that store. When I am trying to open the same app (by shared link) on my Canadian Samsung App store it says that this product is not available in this store. I also tried to register with different accounts, got the same result.

Is there any way to get new S-Note on my Note II without rooting device? I own a new Note 10.1 2014 and I want to have synchronization.

And rhetoric question, why we don't have new S-Note in Samsung App Store?
[Galaxy Note II General] Hielko:
You can get it on the Samsung app store.
[Galaxy Note II General] himka:
My Samsung Apps doesn't show it...
[Galaxy Note II General] Michal142:
Mine too...
[Galaxy Note II General] himka:
Well, I got a link for a working new S-Note downloaded from Samsung Apps. It is little bit suspicious. I checked it with AVG and it looks fine.

Here is link to the S-Note at Samsung Apps, which is not working for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] Michal142:
Not work in my device...
[Galaxy Note II General] himka:
Have you upgraded to 4.3?
[Galaxy Note II General] Michal142:
Nope :)

I hope that there will be a way to SNote work on 4.1.2. I go to 4.3 only when Neak kernel will work :)

I guess that is another way to boost the sound on the headphones ?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] corbindavenport:
Nexus Tools is an installer for the Android debug/development command-line tools ADB (Android Device Bridge) and Fastboot for Mac OS X and Linux. The script does not need to be downloaded, simply copy and paste this command into the terminal and run it to install ADB/Fastboot:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

and this command to un-install Nexus Tools:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/uninstall.sh)

Nexus Tools requires sudo privileges to install/uninstall the adb and fastboot tools to /usr/local/bin, so they can be run without typing the full directory. Nexus Tools is licensed under the GPLv3 license, and the source code is at the GitHub project below.

If you have a problem with Nexus Tools, leave a reply below or as an issue on the GitHub project!

This looks interesting.

I have an x86 Chromebook that I'd like to try this out on. One silly question though, where exactly am I entering the command to download the script?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] eagleeyetom:
You need to visit the github page and type in the terminal: git clone git@github.com:corbindavenport/nexus-tools.git or get it as a zip archive, extract and run install.sh (not sure if it works on Chromebook).
[Nexus 10 Android Development] corbindavenport:
Actually by entering the command listed on the home page, which is this:

bash <(curl https://raw.github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

your Chromebook will download and run the script automatically. You don't have to download the repository :)

I'm going to try this out. Chromebook C70

unknown command BASH I bet I need to switch to dev channel
[Nexus 10 Android Development] conantroutman:
I received a message about requiring root permissions to install this on an Acer C70. After entering the relevant command to mount the chromebook as Read/Write it was unable to boot and needed to be restored with a recovery image.

It was probably something stupid I did but might be worth creating a recovery image beforehand from the device itself as the Windows image creator is still borked and requires an annoying workaround. Just a heads up for anyone intending to try this.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] zylstrajs:
Did you have your chromebook's verified boot option enabled? If so, modification of the system image is detected and since Chrome OS verification fails the boot fails.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] corbindavenport:
This simply installs the tools you need (ADB and Fastboot) for other uses. For example, you can lookup a guide on ADB basics and be able to use everything in the tutorial.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] conantroutman:
Nope, verification was off after setting up a Linux install.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] x2110311x:
Yeah, it doesn't seem to be working on the Acer C720 Chromebook. The script will run and install adb and fastboot, but I can't use them.

If I try to run either of them, I get "bash: /usr/local/bin/adb: No such file or directory". The files are there, but I can't run them for some reason, even if you change the permissions to 777.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry if this sounds dumb, I just wanted to check... I'm looking at purchasing a Chromebook in the near future (acer chromebook 13 top of the range all the **** ARM based)and this looks like an ideal tool for fast boot which I'd be lost without owning nexus devices.

So this tool will download the nesesary files and store them onto the hard drive of the machine and will work without internet connection once the package gets installed? Also having had a reread through the thread we need to turn off OS verification through dev options? Does that effect chrome OS updates or this tool makes an update fail because it has modified system files?

Sorry for all the questions I just want a rough idea of what to expect when I receive a machine to use this tool.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] ACastanza:
Same issue as everyone else with the Acer C720, it installs fine and I can see adb and fastboot in /usr/bin/ but attempting to run them gives "No such file or directory".

Anyone have any luck fixing it?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
There doesn't seem to be much activity here, and I don't own a Chromebook to try this on (yet, awaiting delivery) but I have wondered how well it would work installing crouton and a Linux distro and then using a browser head over to the google SDK page and download and install the package here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and see how that works out.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] ahow628:
I might be misunderstanding what you mean, but if you have a Linux distro installed (I've got Ubuntu) then you don't need the SDK if all you want to do is fastboot and adb. This app installs those for you independent of the SDK.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] gustavo_pr:
Did install Linux on an SDCard using crouton on an Acer c720. ADB and Fastboot work perfectly on my Nexus 5.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I followed these instructions to setup Linux using crouton.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MJZYllAj_o-erv4WF2CKdjtHjT6Wee4t4mj6SlDRG8c

Also this YouTube video:

How To: Ubuntu on Your Chromebook with Crouton: http://youtu.be/wJ4WcfHFjKg

After successfully setting up Linux as described in the links above, the tool on the OP worked great.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Using the SDK is the official means of downloading and managing various updates to stuff, but it won't work on chrome OS, so if you already have Linux installed I'd always recommend the official channels. Not that I am knocking the work of who ever made this and this tool is ideal for those intending on staying using chrome os only and not likely to mess around.

That's great to know thanks very much. I'm waiting for my c720 i3 4gb ram, 32gb ssd to ship from USA to UK. Now I know my windows machine will probably be retired full time ?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] gustavo_pr:
The C720 is my main machine. After setting up Linux and ADB and Fastboot I no longer need a windows PC. It took little time to get used to the smaller screen but its not an issue for me anymore.

I'm running the c720 on normal mode as the need for tweeking my Nexus 5 is not constant. When needed, I just activate developer mode launch Linux from the SD Card and once done switch back. As long as you have the Recovery USB created (follow the instructions and have an USB dedicated for that purpose) it takes a small amount of time to switch between modes.

Good luck.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] ahow628:
You need to install the curl package. Put this in the terminal to install it.

sudo apt-get install curl

You'll have to know the admin/superuser password. If this is your personal system, it is the password you entered when setting up Ubuntu.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
ok so my acer c720 i3 arrived a few days ago and iv tried several of these types of things to get fastboot / adb to work and had no success at all for any, including tryi g ti set it up in linux chroot.

Il attach a pic of the out put entering the command to download the script. Also i cant see that fastboot or the adb executables have been downloaded to my download folder
[Nexus 10 Android Development] gustavo_pr:
Unfortunately I could not replicate the tool procedures on my c720, so If you already have a Linux crouton distro working follow the instructions detailed in this link:

http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378

That is the easiest way to install ADB and Fastboot in Linux. Works flawlessly. Good luck.

How do you like the C720?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I havent seen any one succesfully getting this sort of thing working in chrome on acer c720. Atleaast i know its not just me... But yeah the acer is great and im really happy with it. I had to espicially import the i3 4gb ram from usa to uk as that model isnt sold here.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] gustavo_pr:
Great. Did you setup crouton and got ADB and Fastboot working?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
yes, just set up trusty unity and used the link to the ubuntu phablet thing you linked to and got that set up. adb and fastboot devices command both return a serial number which shows it should work. I have not actaully performed sending a proper command yet but things look promicing. Thanks so much for the link, honestly iv been trying for a bout two days to get this to work and this is the most success iv had. Really appriciate it bro thanks! As a return of favour iv found http://www.webupd8.org/2013/12/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-on.html to be very helpful finishing off my chroot, perhaps theres some stuff you may find just as helpful for you install ;)

After a few days of looking, I found the problem was I needed to install the 32 bit libraries as well. Now works like a charm. In case anyone else has a similar issue, i ran the following (I'm on Fedora 20 so you may have to swap yum for apt-get, etc):

[Nexus 10 Android Development] corbindavenport:
No, Google changed the way Chrome OS handles file permissions a long time ago and it hasn't worked since then.

If you're on Mac, the sudo password is the password of the OS X user with administrator privileges. So just type in your user account password and it should work. As you type it in, it wont show that youre typing - but once you type it in and press Enter it should work.
