[Q] Intex CloudFX : Adb not working - Firefox OS Q&A

Hi Everyone,
I have recently bought the newly launched consumer grade FirefoxOS device Intex CloudFX.
in order to fiddle order with it i tried enabling USB debugging and messing with Adb shell but to my surprise i am not able to see the device is adb devices. I use Adb regularly for android device on both Mac and Linux and they work seemlessly but Firefox Devices dosn't detect it at all. I can see in dmesg that the device is detected. I did manually added entries for the device in udev rules for linux box also.
can anyone suggest what i might be missing.
Note : I have disabled screenlock and i have also enabled ADB plus Devtools in developer section.

You would need to jailbreak the device first, I don't think there's any 'official' solution for it yet. Could try ZTE Open jailbreak, but I doubt it will work and you may brick your device.

Oh i thought atleast ADB would be available for consumer grade devices also.
Let me give rooting exploits a try.

Any luck?

I couldn't get it work either.
Even ticking the 'Developer Menu' doesn't enable a Developer Menu under Settings.
Do we know how to put any apps on it? (other than the MarketPlace?)
For those who want to give it a try:
SETTINGS -> DEVICE INFORMATION -> More Information -> Developer

I finally got it to work:
I have detailed the procedure here: http://nikunjlahoti.com/2014/09/14/intex-cloud-fx-turn-debugging-on/
I am not sure what's the guideline here. Shall I paste the entire content instead?
After writing this post I found another Mozilla help thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1018724 which also says the same thing.
Cheers!

hi New user

hi just got my new tablet to day and Id like a bit of info as I dont what to brick it already
im from uk it came with honneycomb 3.2 all ready installed kernal 2.6.36.3 build10 #1 can it still be rooted as I wana play modern combat 3
thanks
As far as I know it can. Have a look in the development section. Probably better to wait until ics is released and then root.
you've got a build 10 kernel so your device is not rootable right now you have to wait for ICS or if some devs make it rootable for your kernel version
10# and above is not rootable
Maby it is possible already but just like Vinny1967 says just have a look in the development section

try to check for OTA update - if you've got 3.2, then probably you will get 3.2.1 with vulnerable kernel.

Did you echo'd something
Did you ad the driver text from Sony tablet s / p in the google/extras etc.
Or are you unprepared
Edit » lol your more prepared then me i see xD tought you where a newbi xD
I'm just a newbie with the Sony s and I have plenty of experience with Android but for some reason when I plug it into xp it only see it as sony tablet and if I try and install the adb drivers from the auto install folder it say this driver doesn't contain information about my device

Do you have USB debugging on?
Your device is not listed after adb devices?
Try
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
But I think you already know that
And if that didn't work than the next thing you could check if you have not already done that to check if you have your driver installed proper
1.You have Android SDK installed Make sure you have downloaded the Google USB Driver Package.
2.Open the google-usb_driver folder that you will find inside your Android SDK folder.
3.Open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad or any text editor to edit it.
4.Add these lines under [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64] depending on whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows. If unsure, it is safe to add these under both these sections.
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
;SONY Sony Tablet P
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_04D2&MI_01
;SONY Sony Tablet S
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4
Don’t edit or replace any other text that is already there; just add these new lines and save the file.
5.Open a command prompt window and enter this command: echo 0x054C >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Note: this is where you have to use 0x054C instead of what is at the link, otherwise it wont work
Userprofile isn't by your Program Files ! Another example C:\Users\Mahaco\.android etc.
Now your Android SDK drivers are configured to support any Nvidia Tegra based tablet. To be able to use ADB and other SDK tools with your device, you can proceed as follows:
1.On your tablet, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and confirm again that ‘USB Debugging’ is enabled.
2.Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. You will get a notification that some drivers were not installed, just ignore that.
3.Right-click ‘Computer’ and click ‘Manage’. Identify your device from the list, right-click it and click ‘Update Driver Software..’.
4.Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer.
5.Choose to view all devices and click ‘Browse Files’.
6.Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder and select the android_winusb.inf file.
7.If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, also just ignore, choose to continue installing.
8.Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device.
9.To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands again:
Quick launch > Start button + R then type CMD and push enter and cd to your working folder
( For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ )
cd.. [Enter] < type that until you only have your harddiskdrive shown.
cd program files (x86) [Enter]
cd Android [Enter] etc.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Boot Tablet S into recovery:
a) Hold down power and volume UP button
b) when SONY logo appears, release power button but keep pressing volume UP button
c) should load into recovery
This also gives you the MTP device driver.
Could someone uploaded a zip up drivers and all that need to get sony s in adb

I can't just copy my winusb.inf because if you replace it you will loose other drivers, so this is 'the' correct way to do it,
Edit> And you are working on a Windows XP system which can give allot more issue's if you do, after I tought about it I don't know if everything will be compitable in Windows XP so that would be something you need to find out. and if someone can confirm if it can!
I hope I helped, and hope that I didn't tell you anything you already knew, and on top of that respect my not always that smooth English lol

I get your point but Sony would rather see their customers not to change their devices unless it is something official,
Android -> Google : Has made it like this that everyone with a little knowlege can add their toughts by making their own roms which is very smart because all the problems that will be solved bij non official developers can be used in next firmwares, and that just for free the fact is, if you brick your device it will loose warranty. if you have root access your warranty is also not more then a piece of paper,
Samsung Galaxy S2 shows up an /!\ Warning sign at start up if its rooted, because if you will brick the phone Samsung could easily see if it was bricked by the user, so I understand the reaction from Sony,
No hard feelings, but I just think that this is how it is
I can only recommend you an upgrade to a newer Windows version to either
Windows Vista or Windows 7 because I can confirm that these are compitable if you follow all the steps for rooting (Drivers etc.)

I am on Windows 7 and am a Java developer, didn't want ADB for rooting, want it for testing my apps. No offence but I have already had this conversation with Sony, hopefully the ICS update will make a difference. What would really help is if they just released official drivers like they do for their phones.

Marshmallow ADB Removed or Not?

I've seen some news spamming the internet that ADB was removed from marshmallow. Can anyone confirm or deny this for stock roms? I run CM13 so no stock roms to see. Wouldn't make sense for ADB to be removed.
What seems to have been removed is the on-device ADB binary. I discovered this myself, today, as I have an Asus TF300T which I regularly use with other Android tablets at work for debug purposes, that I over the weekend upgraded to 6.0. Much to my surprise, no longer am I able to adb from my tablet. I did some quick research on it, and found a few people posting about it, but no solutions as of yet.

USB debugging is for connecting a device to another device, ie an Android device to a PC. It does not, however, give an Android device the ability to run ADB locally to connect to another Android device. My situation is, I have a TF300T which is a tablet with a dock, the dock has an actual USB port and functions like a USB OTG adapter. I used to be able to connect other Android devices to the USB port on my tablet and, using a terminal emulator, run ADB commands to the external Android devices. Since upgrading my tablet to 6.0 however, I discovered that I could no longer perform that task. Some quick Googling turned up a couple of places asking about this exact function, and someone on stackexchange posted a question about that exact issue, however they never got any response.
Why Google felt it was necessary to exclude the ADB binary from 6.0 is beyond me. Sure, it's something that is probably rarely used by users, but for those of us that -do- use it, it's not cool that it's suddenly gone.
I wonder if it wouldn't be trivial to extract the binary from a 5.0 device and see if it would just work under 6.0...
Hi
did you find a solution? I'm on CM13 would love to be able to use my tablet as adb client again...

I suppose google removed adb from android, is probably because it poses security threats. I am doing a seminar on a paper published in 2017, called SMAShed. It can manipulate android sensor data with only internet permission. As a matter of fact, apps installed using adb are granted all permissions by the OS without notifying the user. You can find the demo at androidsmashed.wordpress.com/demos/ .

Will pay for a way to get into my tablet

I have a jp5s tablet running android 4.2.2. It is a prison issued tablet. USB debugging is not enabled, and you can't enable devlopers options. Bluetooth works but app installation is blocked for security purposes. And the ability to allow unknown sources is disabled. Recovery mode only has reboot now. There is no fastboot so adb on windows will not connect. My only idea is maybe a picture or video file that runs a script to allow USB debugging, or installs an apk(a file manager). Also I'll pay for one that will set my devices year back to 2011 or so. Please any help or advice. Maybe a windows program that will force connect adb somehow.
Yeah you can go to settings but its very limited, pressing build number only brings up a list of installed apps.
Nothing google at all its a prison tablet that's the issue I want to install apps

Root for HAOQIN H7 PRO

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a tablet on Amazon, which is slowly gaining a lot of fame for its really affordable price .Unfortunately I was unable to find information on the specific rooting procedure for this device. I hope someone knows how to recommend a way to solve the problem, thanks to everyone anyway
PS: I have already tried several OneClickRoot applications like Kingo Root, KingRoot, Framaroot and 360 Root.
Tablet information:
Tablet name : H7 pro
Brand name : Haoqin
Device model : H7_EEA
Android version : 9
Android security patch level : August 5, 2019
Kernel version : 4.4.189
Build number : Winnovo_H7_V1.7_20200406

Hi,
Unfortunately I didn't even found the firmware file for your tablet so I doubt someone will be able to root it successfully without those files.
Have a good day

My POV: Those so-called One-Click-Rooters all are crap. Most of them are heavily outdated, not applicable on devices with newer versions of Android as with Android 9 GO what is installed on your device. For example KingRoot you tried only may work on devices with Android versions up to version 5 & Framaroot you also tried only may work on device's with Android version less then Pie.
And worst: They may even inject trackers as it's reported in WEB.
In short: You have to root your device's Android manually by yourself, of course only if supported by OEM/Carrier. To verify this boot into device's Recovery and look for option "apply update from adb".
If NOT present then simply stop further reading.
How-To:
In Android's Settings->Developer options enable "USB debugging"
Install ADB-driver on your computer and make it systemwide accessible, means add its location to PATH environment variable and re-boot computer
Download SuperSU Pro
Rename the downloaded ZIP-file to update.zip and move it to folder where ADB-driver is housed
Make sure your Android is charged over 60%
Connect your Android device with computer via USB-cable
On computer open command prompt: [Win]+[R], input cmd and press Enter-key
Run commands - one by one
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot recovery
Don't close command prompt window!
In Android's Recovery menu select option " apply update from adb" and confirm by pressing power button
On computer run command
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
The zip.file will be sideloaded and written in your Android. The process will take quite a long time, so please enjoy yourself with something during the period. When it completes, you can see something like "Install from ADB complete" on the screen.
As last step on computer run command
Code:
adb reboot
Close command prompt window
You also may delete file update.zip: it's no longer needed
I hope I've made it clear to you.

Hi jwoegerbauer , thank you very much for your timely and detailed reply, sorry if I did not answer immediately.I tried with your suggestions, but when I do this step, it gives me an unrecognized device error (in fact the adb devices command give me an empty list) .Checking on google, I noticed that it is a driver problem and then the phone is not recognized in recovery mode but, always on google I was unable to find a guide to solve the problem. On the android developer site I downloaded a file zip called "usb-driver", but when I update the drivers and set this folder as a directory it gives me this error: "The specified folder does not contain a software driver compatible with the device. if there is a driver in the folder, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 systems "
I hope it is not my mistake or that it is something resolvable anyway, I wait and trust in your further clarification if possible
@nubrox99
The driver package usb_driver_r12_windows.zip you downloaded isn't the expected one, it's only meant to be explicitely used with Google devices. Typically the USB-driver gets downloaded from OEM's/Carrier's website. If not provided by them, then the Universal ADB Driver should get installed.

How to remote control android which is connected to same wifi without internet

I want to control my android device loaded with lineageos 8.1 remotely from my laptop from the browser. I have tried airdroid, but i am not able to use the remote control feature when i am offline, it only works over the internet, is there any fix for this? also please suggest any alternatives. I have root access using magisk.

Definitely want to be using scrcpy. It uses adb as it's connection method. So if you can wifi adb to your devices you can remote control it.
If you need sound, it gets slightly more cumbersome. But sndcpy works well in tangent.

Some phones have an option in Developer settings. It normally explicitly says wifi adb. If you don't have the option, you'll need a root app or elevated terminal to activate it.
The app is faster to use if in a normal context.
Find on on the playstore. Just search wifi adb.
Then on your computers terminal, which has adb installed properly, type "adb connect {your phone's ip address}"
Once it successfully prompts and you accept the connection on your phone you are ready to use scrcpy.
You can find tutorials on how to install both adb and scrcpy.
But the most user friendly, if on widows, is to first install a repository called Choco. Again, look up how to do so.
Then, simply type these commends in an administrative PowerShell:
choco install adb -y
choco install scrcpy -y
If all of this seems overly complicated. It is a one time setup. And all of these tools are excellent to have in the future if you are into Android and software.
After these steps are completed, rember you first have to establish an adb connection and then type scrcpy into your terminal.
Ok, Thanks a lot!!!!

- Download scrcpy.zip
- Unzip to the dir of your choice
- On your phone: Developer settings --> Enable USB Debugging
- Connect with a cable
- Run scrcpy-noconsole.vbs
Should work (also for android 12)
If you want to use this over IP, let us know

Oeps, the previous scrcpy.zip contains convctctytdl.exe ... you won't need this:
This is used to convert all youtube files (movie, list, etc...) to mp3
You can delete this file
This is the windows x64 version
You don't need internet as your phone is connected with a cable
Thank you everyone for your help!!!
Scrcpy is successfully installed and is working fine!!!
I took help from this forum and the official GitHub repo https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Thanks everyone
i have another request, please help!
