My very first tutorial will be on how to use adb and fastboot commands. Adb and fastboot commands are used to to solve some problems on Android devices E. G install applications from a pc, unlock bootloader on htc devices, wipe any Android phone with pattern or pin lock, force reboot any phone to any interface, repair Efs, etc.
Adb is very dependent on USB debugging been on, so always ensure USB debugging is on before u run adb commands, the next question is how do we activate USB debugging, on older phones go to application under settings, select development then mark USB debugging. On newer phones go to about and hit build number 6 times to unveil the development mode, u will be prompted on the 6th hit that you now a developer. Then u can enable debugging from the developer option.

To use adb and fastboot commands u don't need to download the entire Android sdk and waste a whole lot of data, just download a zip achieve that contains the essentials of adb and fastboot, unzip the achieve to a folder anywhere on your PC, my favourite location is on desktop, for easy access. So let's go

To install apk apps from adb folder, copy the apk to the adb folder connect the usb cable to the phone. Open the adb folder hold shift button down and right click on your mouse then select open command prompt from the options. A cmd prompt window will be open, type in adb devices, this is to be sure device is detected, so type in adb devices, and hit enter and a device will be listed, if a device is listed then your good to go, if u get error message, check your USB cable and ensure USB debugging is enabled.

To install the apk type in adb install whatsapp.apk
Then hit enter this will start the installation of whatsapp, so u can rename the file to any name u want for easy installation.

That's for that, if there is any other help u need about adb or fastboot or u need any other command you can post here.

Then I will ask questions when it relates to Parse error when installing application
Re: Day Break Android Tutorial. by indigold2010(m): 7:11am On Apr 24, 2015
Parse error isn't adb or fastboot related. It can be caused by incompatible apps, poorly downloaded apps etc. This isn't adb or fastboot issue.

Re: Day Break Android Tutorial. by indigold2010(m): 7:42am On Apr 24, 2015
For today tutorial I teach u how to remove pattern lock from phones without recovery and when u don't have a volcano box or any other dongle available.


Some devices come without the option to wipe them in recovery, itel devices been a major culprit and some other devices. But today I show u some trick to go pass this without any external hardware. All u need is a USB cable, a pc and a brain. And ensure u study my first post on adb and fastboot, u will be needing it.

Before we go about this ensure u have the right device drivers installed on your PC, for easy driver instalation I advice u install PDA.net on your PC, it interacts with all adb interface. Now let's go about it.
Note: You need to have USB debugging turned on for this methods to work or u have a manual method of forcing this devices to fastboot.

First question is how do u know USB debugging is turned on in a locked device?
Method 1: When u plug in the usb device to your PC and you have PDA.net installed, the PDA pop up will be seen at the bottom right hand corner of your pc

Method 2: When the cable is plugged to your device u will see the notification bar at the top of the device showing some actions like USB, connected, USB debugging. And u can see an icon like the Android robot standing new the usb icon on the notification tray.

Ones u confirmed USB debugging is on, open command prompt window as illustrated in my first tutorial.

For itel devices just type into the command window the following code, hitting enter after every line.
adb reboot bootloader

This will force your phone into fastboot and u will see the fastboot writing on your phone once it reboots. Now u ready for the next set of codes. If u get any error messages on your command window then go through my first post again to learn how to use adb and fastboot. Now type in this on Same command window

fastboot erase userdata


You will get the erase done on command window. The next set of command is

fastboot reboot

Your device should reboot at this stage. And now your device is unlocked. On some other devices adb reboot bootloader just reboots the phone but dosent take it to fastboot. For such devices u have to root them. A locked device can be rooted using vroot or iroot. Install vroot or iroot on your PC connect your device to your PC via USB cable and start the iroot or vroot on your PC and u will get the root succeeded message when the device is rooted and the device will reboot.

Now once u rooted this is what you should do, look at the look phone screen and touch emergency calls. Ensure the emergency calls screen is what u seeing to enable you authorize superuser. Now time in this code in your command window
adb shell

When you type in adb shell and enter u will get a dollar sign $, now type su in front of the dollar sign, now look at your device and grant or authorize the super user prompt, and you should see a # symbol now on your command window . Now u have given adb shell access to your device. The next code you should type on your command window is
wipe data

When you get the wipe done written on your command window you will see that the device still shows lock, but I assure u that it is now unlocked. Just pull out the cable from the phone and restart the phone and u are unlocked.

Feel free to ask questions.
