You'll need to install ADB: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
I'll try this. Is it any different than the standard adb ? I tried android studio as well. It authenticed the tablet but wouldn't let me do anything. All terminals didn't seem to recognize the tablet. Or I was doing something wrong. I downloaded the fastboot and adb files. Hold shift right click open terminal.
I've flashed plenty lineage and cynomod before. Haven't run into this before.
Not sure, will need to see a screenshot, your adb versions etc. XDA would be a better place to ask this.
Or maybe try it from a Linux distro like Ubuntu or something, adb is pretty easy to install from the official repos and there's no need for any drivers. I find Linux just works better for stuff like this.
Think it would work or a raspberry pi ? I just downloaded the standard fastboot and adb files. I have the correct drivers as I downloaded the nexus 7 ones. Laptop recognizes tablet. I can access the internal files and get the security message. Terminal gives me error message
Doesn't understand adb as command. In yellow font. After the first word it changes back to white font. I can't run adb devices as it won't run any command.
Was thinking might be work laptop with firewall preventing debugging.
Ah, that explains it. There's a lot of stuff that enterprises do to restrict such stuff.
A Raspberry Pi should work just fine.
Sweet. Do I need anything extra for a pi. I know from previous tinkering they had miniscule storage. Would I need new drivers and such ?
Did I just witness Dexter helping Mojojojo??
Mojojojo wasn't such a bad guy. Dexter knew this
No need for any drivers. You just need to install
android-sdk-platform-tools, assuming you're running Raspbian or similar the command would besudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools.After that, type
fastbootand/oradband see if they work.Sweet. I'll need to dust of the pi. But yeah it'll be running Raspbian.
