2. Open a command prompt where you extracted the zip file
3. Run "adb reboot-bootloader" (you may need to allow connections in the prompt on your phone)
4. Once the watch reboots to the bootloader, run "fastboot oem unlock"
5. Choose yes and it will unlock the bootloader as well as factory reset the watch, so go re-sync with your phone

I would suggest maybe trying it on Windows 7 if you can but I had to use Ubuntu and su to get it work if you want to install ubuntu I could help u

when i go in and look at the drivers there is a yellow ! and it says drivers not installed but i have installed them 2 times now

Till someone can come up with an answer, try booting a live ubuntu install, or run ubuntu from a USB stick. Just spent an hour messing about with my windows 8.1 box, got nowhere. (it sees my phones fine). With ubuntu, I installed android studio and was up and running in 15 min.

The answer is it isn't gonna work on win 8 or 8.1 bc they suck. I would suggest y'all get familiar with Linux if you want to mess with these devices. Your life will be so much easier

i have windows 7 but i think you can do the same on 8 Just right click on my computer and then manager then device manager and find your device listed then click on it and update the devices. that should work you can manually install the devices there to just find a google adb driver and install it.

Check my signature. Download the tool kit and choose any of the available devices, back up your data (Full backup), then when you want to restore your stuff, select Full Restore. It's as simple as that.
Galaxy S III is currently not fully available, but any of the device forms will do
Lg
Edit:
Oh, and you're doing it completely wrong. If you downloaded the SDK for Windows, all you need is the Windows shell (CMD, PowerShell).
And you only need to type in:
Code:
adb start-server
adb backup <-f<File location>.ab> <-apk><-system><-all><-shared>
and to restore:
Code:
adb start-server
adb restore <path-to-file>.ab

Those were easy steps, you don't have to be an expert. I'm not one, either. I don't even know how to code in Java ^^
Like I said, just download my tool kit, hit "Thanks" on the OP and if you like the tool kit, buy the donate version :laugh:
The Galaxy S III form should be finished in the next few updates, but the next update (Coming sometime this week) shall have some even more impressive features which you can use

Follow this to backup your phone (make sure u have installed drivers on comp) :
1. enable USB debugging Settings > Developer, enable developer options, then enable USB debugging
2. open the sdk and plug your device in
3.navigate to where adb is. you’ll find the adb.exe file in the platform-tools folder. With the default installation settings, the location is: C:\Users\"NAME"\AppData\Local\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools.
(replace name with your account name)
4. In that folder hold shift and right click and select Open command window here.
5. type
Code:
adb devices
to test if your device can comunicate with adb
You should see a device in the list – if you see no devices, adb can’t communicate with your device because its driver isn’t installed properly.
6. type
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab
(again replace the word name)
After running this command, you’ll have to agree to the backup on your device. You can also encrypt the backup with a password here, if you like.

Have u tried with the phone in fastboot, or in recovery? You could probably also pull what u need using windows adb then just copy it to a folder u can access from ur vm

Yes i have tried from fastbootusb and recovery and the problem shows up. I would use Windows adb but the guide was specifically for Linux/Unix

Did you make sure you selected the device to share in virtual box. See Screen Shot, I don't have adb on my virtual box right not to test, I will install it shortly and let me know if I find any other tricks.
Do you have the windows drivers loaded?

Might want to try the steps listed here: https://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/entries/22167968-Ubuntu-Linux-Getting-ADB-working
I have the phone drivers installed for windows 7.
I Have the vbox addons installed
Then I just checked the phone under usb devices
As far as software, I installed Java and the Android sdk using the guide above (Steps 1-7).
Once I had the SDk installed I was able to:
cd ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
./adb devices
And it showed the phone connected.
Can you get adb to work manually? Maybe the script needs to be tweaked to update the path to adb.
---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Do you have HTC sync installed? If so try uninstalling it.
Do you have any autoplay options set when you plug in your phone? I get two auto play windows when I plug mine in. I just close them.

Locked SM-J7108. Didn't worked.
Hello,
I've tried to unlock my SM-J7108 with this method (ant it's not the first one that I tried) but after run i run Odin it tells me in the phone:
"Installation Failure
You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS"
I've changed the options in the phone to developer mode, enabled USB debugging and unlocked factory protection.
How can I unlock it? I don't have the google apps and I'm desperate to put another rom.
Thank you in advance.

Hello friend. It seems you too facing the same issue I wasted my weekend on. Have tried various tricks but after failing all did windows oS changed. Give it a try but before that you can try these options and if you succeed its worth saving your time.
1. Open device manager- Go to drivers- Uninstall Portable Devices MTP driver- Refresh to re-install.
2. Open device manager- update driver of portable devices
3. Re-Install samsung usb driver manually.
You can find details step in you tube for solutions to mtp device installation failed.
IF NON OF THESE WORK FOR YOU CHANGE THE OS on your pc. AS earlier I was on win7 Ultimate now changed to win7 Professional. Don't know how but it worked for after all day wasted trying all possible solutions.

Can't unlock bootloader by oem unlock command

I can't unlock bootloader in my my phone.
I've also on usb debugging mode and ome unlock, and use the adb driver and write the proper command but it shows waiting for device.
Any one have any ideas..
Plz help me..
do you really have adb and fastboot drivers installed?
connect phone to pc via cable.
in adb console write- adb devices
if you have the correct adb drivers you should see your device id as connected
write adb reboot bootloader
it will boot to fastboot, write fastboot devices
if it shows your phone id everything should be fine, unlock your OEM via command
Heyyo, for me using the developer options in EUI ROM and unlocking bootloader in there worked. Please try that and see if it helps
I tried in a few ways and did not unlock the bootloader even though everything was going well. Finally, the phone returned to its previous state. previously, I had Lenko zuk with 2 - without any problem, I unlocked it using Tool all in one.

Either your phone is not in bootloader mode or you have no drivers installed. Since I never use Windows, I can't help though.
Connect your phone to the PC. Then type in a console "adb devices" if it shows your device just type "adb reboot bootloader" . When the phone restarts type "fastboot oem unlock" (I think this was the command) and you're done. If you see "offline" or nothing after "adb devices" check the driver's if they're installed. If so check the cable and don't use any usb external hubs.
It did not do anything. Everything is fine for the reboot and does not see the device after restarting.

Are you sure that you have enabled adb on your phone. If yes then there's a problem with the cable.
I went through the entire TWRP installation procedure successfully (?), But the phone is just like before the app came in; OFFICIAL TWRP APP. What's next ? can anyone help?

So I just got my phone today and I was trying to root it (with magisk boot patch) but after using the unlock app and enabling USB debugging fastboot still wasn't showing the device.
There was no option in the developer settings for OEM unlock..
I don't know if it is a bug or am I just missing something, is there anyone who can help me ?

Yes, when I boot it clearly states that the bootloader is unlocked yet I don't have the OEM unlock option in the developers settings..
But if the bootloader are unlocked why you need the oem toggle?, Did you try to flash magic?

Because the device still doesn't show up on fastboot (it does on ADB)

No I tried to install everything that this guide says to, but the phone still shows up with an incorrect driver
Try the google drivers
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

I tried it but When I point it to the driver it says it can't find a driver for my device

And if you try to install it from device manager?

That's what I did, is there a way to install it without the device manager?

I would delete all installed drivers for Zenfone 9, reboot, change usb-port and install googles drivers.
But as this more an windows issue its difficult to assist remote

I already tried it, and to be honest I don't think it is something that I am doing. adb detects the phone is both when it isbooted and when it is in the bootloader. Its only during fastboot that windows shows a missing driver the device...
The OEM Unlock toggle is usually unavailable (grayed out) when the bootloader is unlocked. It's possible this is the reason why it doesn't show up.
As for being unable to issue fastboot commands, it sounds to me like a driver issue, like others have stated.
OK, Finally managed to track down the correct driver thanks to this post and download this driver
FYI for anyone who encounters the same issue just open device manager and right click on your unrecgonized device (needs to be already in fastboot mode) the click update and select the driver from the zip file you just downloaded according to your PC then just finish installing it and everything should work.

Check windows update then optional update. There will be an Asus ADB driver to install.

Just the answer I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!
Quite counter-intuitive that the trcick is to install Win8 drivers for Win10, but presumably they are the same but should have been downloaded automatically in Win10.

Hopefully this is an option for most people, but, for the record, this did not work for me.
Windows 10 had a bunch of suggestions there but none of them were from Asus.
Perhaps it's glitched and they are in an invisible overflow - my optional driver section has exactly 10 entries. no more and no less, which I find a little suspicious.
