please little help on "adb"

When i try typing " adb devices" in CMD.
I get
"list of devices attached"
what am i doing wrong?

You need to be in bootloader, turn off, then turn on while pressing and holding the trackball. Make sure USB debug is enabled in the N1 Applications setting.

did as u said still the same thing "list of devices attached"
i downloaded latest sdk2.0
and did all as the google page says. its weire why it doest read ADB
fastboot read fine when i write fastboot devices, it show the serial of the phone...
can i add applications through fastboot? instead of adb?

I have the exact same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

What directory are you working out of? If you did the default install of the Android SDK. Try this:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then:
Code:
adb devices

You have to open the command prompt from within the tools folder from sdk folder.
Also, its never worked for me while my phone is in the bootloader, i run abd commands while my phone is booted normally (with debugging enabled).
I use adb shell stop, adb remount, whatever commands you wanted to do originally, adb shell reboot.
Hope that helps, good luck man.

Sounds like maybe the driver isn't installed correctly. Check your device manager and see if the N1 shows up in there and what it's named.

That is fastboot, fastboot for the bootloader, ADB for everywhere else
Are you on windows or linux?
Also try "adb remount" when you are in the /tools folder, then try "adb devices"

Make sure USB Debugging is on..that could be it

Pershoot Kernel question

Hi guys,
could anyone explain me please how to enable usb charging with Pershoot´s Kernel (boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-101811)?
I rly don´t get this:
adb shell echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
Thank you very much.

Sure bud,
The script you posted is meant to be run in a command prompt using the tablet's ADB interface. To access this you need the Android SDK (that is the tool for app development) installed on your PC. You can look up how to do this all over the interweb.
To make your life easier though, download a terminal emulator app from the Market, there are plenty of free ones. Once you've done that open it and run the script as follows
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
The "su" command gives you root access just as "adb shell" would in command prompt.
The catch is the script is not persistent after reboot. So you will need to run it again if you reboot the tab. This doesn't really bother me cause I only use it for charging in the car and it takes like 30 seconds to type in the script.
Enjoy!

Thank you very much!
Now it´s working.

how do you make it stick ?

I ask this question in another forum and the result was, it´s not possible (maybe wrong).
By the way, after I enable USB charge, my notebook can´t find my Tab anymore.

I found a way to very easily get it running.
download terminal emulator.
Go to system preference of terminal emulator and there is an option to enter initial command to after you start terminal emulator.
so just type in:
su - root
echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
Whenever you start teminal emulator, it will enable usb charging

ADB and Fastboot for real dummies

Hi,
I have been able to 'master' HTC Desire, Xperia T, Xperia Z3C and even LG Optimus Black.
Except from HTC Desire (if you ever want to learn about ADB and Fastboot, use HTC Desire, the best) it is always a bit tricky to get into Fastboot mode.
I have found the easyest way to access Fastboot mode in this howto: https://goo.gl/hzyB2H
Simply stated:
- Enable USB debugging in Developer Options
- Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here: https://goo.gl/d5BSc7 or use the solid option using FWUL (see below)
- Open command window in Minimal ADB and Fastboot directory (Window Flag + right-click on the folder)
- Plugin your device (which is on)
- Type: adb devices and your device answers with its serial number.
- First answer is serial number and 'unauthorized'
- On your device you will see a popup like shown below
- Type: adb devices and your device answers with its serial number and device
- You're there
If you just need adb you can stop here, if you want to go on to fastboot, continue.
- Type: adb reboot-bootloader
- Type: fastboot devices
And you're there.
No more hassling around with Vol-Down and plugging in.
- Type: fastboot reboot to end the session nicely
Uninstall (system) apps using adb
Uninstall Sony Xperia 'What's New'
adb uninstall --user 0 com.sonymobile.entrance
Let's uninstall Facebook
- type: adb shell pm list packages | grep 'acebo' (I don't know if it spells with F or f) (see REMARK)
- You will receive an answer like:
com.facebook.katana
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.appmanager
- type: adb uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.katana etc.
- do the same for the other lines
- Done for the moment
- Check on your device. Goto settings->apps->Facebook and you will see 'uninstalled' behind it
- Reboot your device ( do it the adb way and issue the command <adb shell reboot>
- After the reboot you won't find Facebook anymore in the apps list
REMARK sometimes it is hard to find the name of the app you want to uninstall.
F.i. the app Playstation bears the name com.scee.psxandroid.
You can retrieve the name using the Play Store app Application Inspector
I had quite a lot of trouble with adb and Windows 10, the solution lies in using Linux.
Recently XDA senior member steadfasterX released “Forget Windows Use Linux” (FWUL) – a bootable GNU/Linux ISO geared specifically towards Windows users who need to communicate more reliably with Android. https://goo.gl/PxvS9p
If you want to play with adb then this is your chance.
Create a live CD or a bootable USB stick with FWUL and everything works like a charm. Forget Windows!
Remember:
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Following these instructions is at your own risk.
And if.... then normally Xperia Companion is your friend.
Enjoy!
Picture shows an example
- how to find the location of an apk
- how to pull the apk to your computer
- how to uninstall the apk
- and the failure that shows that the apk is gone
You can use adb to record your phone screen
- adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/screenrecord.mp4
Stop with Ctrl-C
You can use adb to make a screenshot
- adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screendump.png (-p stands for: create png file)
- adb pull /sdcard/screendump
alternative
- adb shell screencap -p > screendump.png (which sends the file to your computer)
ADB can be used to backup yout device (apk's and data)
- adb backup -f c:/backups/phonebackup.ab -all
- on the device you have to give permission
Of course you can restore the backup
- adb restore <filename>, but for restoring you need to have root access.
There are a lot of options, all explained elsewhere on XDA: https://goo.gl/KtVd1n
W10 is a bit tricky when it comes to running adb on your Xperia device.
To install the necessary drivers, follow this instruction:
To install the official Sony Xperia drivers you need to download them from here.
- Unpack the Zip file
- goto the directory
- right click on sarndis.if and click on install
To install the Flashtool drivers for Windows 8/8.1/10, please follow the steps below.
A) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machine.

PS
Just adding another uninstall.
Using PiHole to block ads, people have noticed that on Android adds are not blocked.
More specific: Ads in Chrome on Android are not blocked.
Reason: Chrome denies your DNS settings
Solution:
adb uninstall --user 0 com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.chromeHomepage
From now on ads in Chrome on Android will be blocked as well.

Hi,
I am a real noob here, I have adb and fastboot. I would like to unlock my Z3 tablet compact bootloader. I have the code, it shows when I use the command adb devices but when I try fastboot devices I get not response. I'm not really sure what the issue is, can you help?

Did you try using Flashtool to unlock it? Never done it myself, but it seems pretty simple, and no command line required.

Use Flashtool to flash a stock .ftf file.

[ADB] Fullscreen 'Edge' Handle

I was always annoyed by how small the edge screen is even at its largest, so I crawled through the Global settings through ADB and found a setting that seemed relevant "edge_handle_size_percent"
I ran the command
Code:
adb shell settings put global edge_handle_size_percent 100.00
with ADB from a computer, I then opened the edge menu (Still the old size and position) and when I went into handle settings, it had become fullsize. This may also work on the Note and S7 series as well as ported roms, I have only tested this on my S8+.
Let me know if it worked for you! Screenshot as proof below.

There is no need to run the adb shell command first. Its an all in one command. Just fire up adb and input it all.

Uninstall system app without ROOT

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to uninstall system app or maybe android auto without ROOT?

Yes.
You need adb and do
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall com.myApp
See
Code:
pm help
for more infos after you entered your shell.
What you should know: This only removes the app from the given user. If you create a new user, this new user still has this app. If you factory reset your device, the app returns back for every user. (This only applies to system apps. User apps will be deleted normally using this command)

That's interessting.
What I found on the net are two things:
1) Do
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
.
Your device should give you a popup message. Accept that and also hit the "always allow fom this computer" check box.
2) Use another adb toolkit. I don't use windows, but when I did, I used googles offical adb toolkit. I never have had any problems with that one.
