R^7Z

Thank you brother! That linked worked - and was so easy!!! Now I got that ADB at last...

Thank you all guys for help. Now I'll try to root my Xperia acro... thought to use Doomlord but found some SuperOneClick app here which was listed as "recommended"... What do you think would be best to use?..

Author, why won't you place the link R^7Z posted on the first page. The "tutorial" which is there now made me waste lot of time without any result - and fill my PC with outdated rubbish. C'mon. Let's make users life easier.

Oh yeah baby!!! Device is rooted. PdaNet - SuperOneClick v2.2. Took less than 5 minutes alltogether (and couple of days reading stupid tutorials, I know I said it already)

Question to moderators. Is it possible to add Xperia IS11S model to some topic about rooting (maybe that SuperOneClick thread, as "supported model") , so that people know how to do it and can easily find it here. PdaNet has to be mentioned, too. See, procedure itself is quite easy, but searching posts/topics etc... takes long time and can lead to brick if not understood or proper software not found...

Thanks everyone here again
[G1 Android Development] R^7Z:
Just passing the buck bud, glad the link worked for you! I'm sure if the author of this guide/thread OP deems it worthy as an additional step/troubleshooting step that they'd include it as such. In the meantime, be sure to thank the thread OP where I linked you to, if you haven't already. Every situation is different and everyones understanding is as well; it's not always the case but sometimes...

[G1 Android Development] Night on the web:
What is the difference between the .exe file that one can download at (http://www.mediafire.com/?qrjo6bi8ayblj1r) and the .7z file that is available here (http://www.mediafire.com/?xt1dmy3iz8humgb)? Which one should i download?

EDIT: i downloaded the second file but no adb driver can be installed for my xperia mini pro sk17i. Any suggestion?
[G1 Android Development] junksecret:
I installed adb and it works fine from the sdk directory but I followed the instructions above, hoping to not have to cd everytime but it doesn't find adbwinapi.dll. My version of that file contains some "caps" ( AdbWinApi ), don't know if that matters.

Suggestions for an adb dummie?.....:)

Hi, I have problem with adb, I installed drivers and everything normally but when I run adb shell command I just get $ sign under it and nothing is happening :confused:
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
What do you expect?

With "adb shell" you are opening a command line window on your phone, nothing more and nothing less.
[G1 Android Development] tetronic:
So what do I need to run to root the phone?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm stupid -___- forgot one step
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
ADB ist not really related to rooting a phone, it's primary usage is giving a possibility to debug your ROM / application.

Rooting the G1 in the "old fashinoned way" is described in the Cyanogen Wiki

a more simple version is using androot.apk or flashrec.apk which installs a custom recovery. Here in XDA there are several tutorials available how to root a G1, for example this one, but you should read carefully everthing and you should have understood what you are doing, otherwise it's easy to create a brick ...

[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
You may need to uninstall the drivers windows used, than manually choose the proper ones. Put your device in debugging mode and plug it in. Open a command prompt and type

adb devices

So long as you have the proper drivers and in the right directory you should the serial #
[G1 Android Development] lartomar2002:
When I plug the tf700 back into the pc wo't windows try to install the Asus drivers again?
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
Not if you tell it you will manually choose the drivers

Please tell me how to do that. When I plug it into the pc it starts installing the drivers and I never have a chance to tell it I will do it manually. Sorry for being so clueless!

i got mines working, i used the 64 bit even though i have 32bit, after that the ADB interface came out on my device manager, but still wasnt working properly then i used the 32bit drivers it said again i had the best ones installed. i restarted my pc and it was just working.
[G1 Android Development] naTTan:
Can someone help me? I have read this a couple of times and i still fail to adb, basically, what happens is that everytime i put adb shell the error device not found comes out.

Is there anything that i am doing wrong? i have made sure that the device driver is correct i put the one in the sdk, and in my device manager it no longer writes mass storage window, but there is a logo at the top saying adb interface i am guessing this is what i am meant to achieve?

So what is wrong with what i am doing?
[G1 Android Development] jjjackson56:
Dont feel bad same thing is happening to me i have deleted the driver and reinstalled it many times. It shows up in device manager says no problems its not under usb mass storage but yet when i do command prompt adb shell says device not connected. looks like im gonna have to try ubuntu

[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
I downloaded the 64bit vista drivers and tried to unzip them with winzip. Winzip wouldn't do it...I got the corrupt file thing too. Tried 7-zip and the file would unzip, but the drivers wouldn't install because they weren't digitally signed. THEN I booted into test mode and everything worked first shot. Booting into test mode required entering a command at the command prompt then rebooting....can't remember the command though. I found it here though, should be searchable.

In fact, I'm still running in test mode because I don't know how to turn it off. :confused: lol

i got this to work to regain superuser after updating to 5.0.1h.

but when i got to 5.0.2r2 i lost superuser and su control in terminal emulator.

I did the mount remount command thingy and got adb to finish installing the new su/superuser. but when i go back to terminal emulator and type su it ask if i want to allow yes no or alway. I choose yes or always then i get the #, but i still get permission denied. Then if i back to adb its says its not read/write. so i do the mount remount command thingy again.

Im so lost.

[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
I did everything up to the actual ADB install. When I tried to install it, it said "The system cannot find the path specified."

So I checked my driver updates, uninstalled the regular USB driver and tried to update ADB, but it says "Windows found driver software for your device, but encountered an error while attempting install it.

HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface."

Now instead of showing as the G1, it shows as an unkown device, so I'm at a loss to what I need to do.

By the way, this is on Vista 32 bit.

[G1 Android Development] breaultm:
Hmmm...i'm one of the others that are having the issue of Windows defaulting to a mass storage device driver each time the phone is plugged in. Trying to manually update the driver to correct version results in windows denying you.
[G1 Android Development] wendee:
I get something similiar i get Cannot Install and i have the latest usb driver and still no luck dont know what else to do now
[G1 Android Development] breaultm:
Right, it's not so much that you've got an incorrect version of the android driver. it was mentioned on the first page--If you've plugged your android phone into your computer prior to installing the SDK USB driver, then windows defaulted to assuming the G1 is simply a mass storage device and that's it. Trying to uninstall the device manually just results in windows automatically picking it as a mass storage device again without prompting you for alternative drivers. I gave up on this computer and did it on another i know i hadnt plugged my phone into before. I'm sure there are relevant registry keys that need to be removed to get windows to stop automatically treating it like a mass storage device and to prompt you for alternative drivers, but i just took the easy route.
[G1 Android Development] ArmandHammer:
I think there is something wrong with the usb driver on this site. Everytime idownload and go to extract i get an error.

This is the second computer I have tried to extract it and i get a "File skipped unkown comression method" error.

^That is the message I got on my windows xp and i got a different message on vista.

Anybody else having trouble extracting the driver?

http://modmygphone.com/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_ADB the driver off this site extracted just fine.

do not extract with winrar it dont work...trust me...it clearly says to download .7zip to extract the drivers...it worked flawlessly when i extracted with 7zip...so learn to follow instructions

dude thank you...

it was hard figuring things out at first...(went from xp to vista 64bit)

but i stared messing with cmd and commands and i got it working without a flaw..(ADB and Fastboot working like a charm)

i just thought i would show u some recognition and appreciation for your work because it was very helpful

thanks for your tutorial
[G1 Android Development] ArmandHammer:
I followed directions and this is what it said.

Direct quote from the front page "Windows vista has ".zip" extracting built-in and does not require an external app.(I have listed some links below)"

So I did clearly read directions and it said if you have windows vista, you do not need an external app,

??
[G1 Android Development] sweetandsour:
thats what it says..

and i know vista does but for some reason u get all kinds of error messages right???...i tried winrar and that didnt work aswell

well download .7zip for your 32bit or in my case 64bit vista

and u can extract those files..

try it download 7zip and tell me how it goes..doesn't hurt 2 try right??

if u need more help i will do my best to help u...

ill check the post regularly or just send me a pm

All you have to do is download the 1.5 sdk for mac from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html

unpack it somewhere, probably in your home folder.

I renamed the unpacked folder to sdk since I can't get my path$ to work correctly and it's easier to type out.

I don't remember where I got fastboot and I don't feel like searching, but I'm sure you can find it if you do a search.

That's it. Open up a terminal, cd to your sdk/tools directory and when you type adb commands that you need, just add the ./ in front of adb.

Now if somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong in my .bash_profile I'd be forever greatful.

I have export PATH=${PATH}:~/G1/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.1_r1/tools

and when i do a 'echo $PATH' it shows correctly in the results but i still can't ./adb anywhere but in the tools directory.

OK so I feel like an idiot here because I would say that I am pretty good with computers, but I have spent the last 2 hrs trying to get the drivers to work. My problem (on two separate machines) is that vista automatically installs drivers for the G1. When I go to update the driver to the ADB drivers it says that the ones it has are newer so it wont install the ADB ones. (and it cant talk to it with out the ADB, I tried) I have tried and tried to get the default drivers to uninstall, but every time I plug the phone back in it goes back to the default drivers. I could really use a hint if anyone has one.

Thanks

EDIT: Hooray!! I figured out that I wasnt in debugging mode, and now its working!!
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
Apologies for bumping this thread, but I decided to give installing ADB another shot. I still can't get it to work, though. This time I am able to get the pop up of new device found through fastboot, but when I try to manually install the USB drivers, it says Windows isn't able to.

At this point I'm guessing the only reason it won't update is because this is 1.0, and I need the 1.5 drivers. Would that be a reason why it doesn't work? And if that is the case, can anyone direct me to a download of the 1.5 version? I'm trying to run it on a 32 bit Vista machine (God I hate it so much right now). Much thanks.

Are there drivers for Windows 7 x64? I can't install the ADB 1.5 Drivers on 7...
[G1 Android Development] Paul22000:
The original post is quite confusing and convoluted. I was trying to learn how to load up adb for the first time and this guide is just WAY too wordy (and poorly formatted).

As well, it's fairly outdated. First, the link is to the 1.1 SDK, and we're now on 1.5. Secondly, downloading the android_adb_usb_driver is no longer necessary, as the drivers are already contained within the 1.5 SDK.

For anyone wanting to install adb for the first time, here are clear, no-nonsense, and easy to follow instructions:

Download 1.5 SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html

Extract to C:\

Plug in G1 to PC,

DON'T

click mount on phone, wait for Windows "New Hardware Detected" Wizard to show up

New Hardware Detected Wizard -> Don't use internet -> Install from specific location -> Include this location in the search:

Based on your OS/CPU, enter one of the following:

C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\usb_driver\amd64

C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\usb_driver\x86

After install, open cmd prompt (WinXP: Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> enter)

"cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools"

"adb devices"

It should say:

List of devices attached
HT917GZ02601 device

If it doesn't, you did something wrong. Possibly try doing "adb remount" and then "adb devices" again.

If adb devices worked, then go on to:
