I need some help installing amon_ra's recovery. In adb it states I don't have permission to push files. If I try to run a fastboot it states I don't have permission. How can I get the above mentioned recovery on this phone ?

You should ask this in the thread that already exists.
If you follow every step listed, that won't happen. Do not skip any steps.
Do not skip any steps
1. Boot the device in fastboot mode, hold down the back button while powering on.
2. Connect via USB.
3. "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img"
It will reboot into the custom fastboot with a black background. Then you'll be set to do these commands:
adb shell mount -a
Ignore the the errors...
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /system/recovery.img
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell reboot
I would have tried all that except the adb drivers are not working with the magic on windows vista. Device manager only shows Android 1.0

Device manager only shows Android 1.0 Which I installed from the most recent sdk. Adb only will show 'waiting for device' even when I try to boot the recovery before flashing.

Switch to Linux ... nah just kidding... you obviously have a driver "issue", it happens to many people using Micro$oft Vi$ta...
Perform the following steps (do not skip any steps) on Vista :
1. Make sure your phone is not connected via usb
2. Download USBdeview and run it as admin (it's very important to run it as admin otherwise you will be unable to uninstall!).
3. Uninstall all drivers that mention Android in the device name or description.
4. Make sure that USB debugging is enabled in your phone (Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging).
5. Connect your phone via usb.
6. Vista will now look for drivers, point it to the sdk drivers and make sure it uses those.
7. Check with "adb devices" to see if your phone listed.

Nabi2 root and Gapps install

.
Using Win7 x64. Nabi2 version: 1.9.37 recently updated.
Can't post to above thread because this is my first post (restricted to "General" forums).
In "Jmz Nabi Recovery Installer" window it is always stuck in the "If stuck here drivers are not installed" step.
Prior to installing "PdaNet for Android" from http://junefabrics.com/index.php,
I had 2 devices in Control Panel under "Other devices" with a yellow '!'. One of the looked like the Nabi device. The other is named "MTP".
After installing PdaNet, only MTP remains with the yellow exclamation point.
What should the Nabi look like in the Control Panel if its properly configured with a driver and where would it be?
And what is MTP?
Apparently I'm still having a driver/connection problem from adb.
USB Debugging is on in the Nabi.
Put the nabi in 'fastboot' mode
Open a CMD Prompt and browse to the 'files' folder within 'jmzrootpackage'
Then type:
adb.exe
fastboot devices
It should return a value (fastboot working and drivers are installed)
Let me know how it goes.

Here is how i done it using Windows 8 x64
I done 3 nabi2's this way but had a lot of trouble first so here is what worked for me:
Sadly, i don't have any nabi2 with me now to explain exactly how i done it
1) First boot the Nabi2 normally and turn off usb debugging.
2) When fully booted connect USB cable.
3) Check device manager and drivers should be installed.
4) Unplug USB cable and turn on USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
5) Reconnect USB Cable.
6) Drivers should install.
7) Install PDA Net on Laptop/PC
8) Select Samsung device from option screen when installing.
9) Wait for install to complete and drivers to install
10) Shut down Nabi2
11) Boot Nabi in fastboot (Hold + and Power buttons)
12) Select fastboot protocol
13) Here i seen Windows 8 take about 60 seconds installing fastboot drivers
To make sure fastboot drivers are installed i went to this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590800
and download ADB (save it to C:\SDK\platform-tools) and read over the helpful instructions in the thread.
Open command Prompt
Type the following (shown in RED) in the CMD window the opened:
cd\
cd C:\SDK\platform-tools
adb.exe (a list of options should be listed)
fastboot devices (it should list a number after you enter this)
If number displayed then you are good to go.
Reboot Nabi2 and wait to complete
Go to the location you saved jmzrootpackage
Go to files folder inside jmzrootpackage
Double click install.bat
Follow on screen prompts ( I took option 1)
TWRP recovery installs
I had trouble installing GAPPS.zip with an error being displayed about unable to mount /data
I copied GAPPS.zip to a SD Card and inserted to Nabi2
i install zip from EXT-SD Card even though it gives a load of errors about not able to mount /data
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot Nabi2
Go to daddy/mommy mode and you should have Google Apps installed.
Any problems let me know.
I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Your instructions with selecting "Samsung" for PdaNet install appears
to have done something right. So maybe I'm a little closer.
It completed the PdaNet install successfully and when I reconnect the
Nabi I see a message popup on Windows saying PdaNet connected something.
(It was too quick.)
So maybe I'm not doing the "Fastboot" portion correctly.
On Nabi hold <Power> and <Vol+> down at same time to turn it on.
Resulting Menu:
Boot Normally
Fastboot Protocol
Recovery Kernel
Forced Recovery
Use <Vol-> to move the selected item.
Moved selected item down to "Fastboot Protocol".
Use <Vol+> to "enter" selected item.
New Menu:
Bootloader
Continue
Reboot-bootloader
Reboot
Poweroff
Selected "Continue", and entered(<Vol+>).
At this point the Nabi boots up.
On PC in adminstrator mode for command window and with ALL anti-virus
security turned off:
> adb.exe kill-server
> adb.exe start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
> fastboot.exe devices
Nothing. (sigh)
After looking at Victoria Antonio's youtube of this process I'm convinced the driver install is still not correct.
Somehow it gets mucked up when I use PdaNet. Not sure how or why.
To make this picture clearer I posted some screen shots on my website: http <colon, 2 forward slashes>skippyvondrake.com
I hope someone can tell me how to unmuck what I've mucked.

Thanks for telling me about when I'm in fastboot mode.
I DO get a device number when in fastboot mode and from 'fastboot devices'
But adb still cannot "see" the device. All commands using adb result in:
error: device not found
Regardless of what mode the Nabi is in.
SOLVED
I finally decided to try this with a different computer. Same OS and architecture.
But this computer didn't have various android development "kits" installed previously.
And it worked without a hitch.
The youtube by Victoria Antonio pointed out a few nuances I didn't know.
And you helped too, BBKGTTDi, so giving you "thank you" points.
Chow!
Glad you got it work SkippyV
I just need to figure out now, when i download a game to the Nabi2 from the playstore, how to get it so show in the kids mode

When I get there - if I figure it out - I'll send you a private email sense that would be a different "thread'. There are other nuances I've noticed too...
show game in Nabi mode after rooting
@BBKGTTDi, I thought there would be a way to send private messages/emails on this forum - but I don't see it.
I ran into the same problem after rooting the Nabi. The "Add Apps" app doesn't work as its supposed to.
It worked prior to rooting.
It does list the newly installed apps, but selecting them for Nabi-Mode, rebooting, and they aren't there.
Only visible in Mommy/Daddy mode.
So if you figure it out please let me know!
The "Add Apps" app is working correctly now. Don't know what happened before.
I must be getting "Nabi-ed out".
Let me know if you're still having troubles.

I did have those problems last year. Still think they were driver related.
I use mehtuus's package now. He has a useful install script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172843
And when I want to use adb in "manual" mode I just launch a command prompt from his
'adb' directory (package is named 'mn2ri-v1.5.0-beta2.zip').
Try playing with his installer. And see if anything is displayed using:
Code:
adb devices
Thanks skippyV. I got it in fastboot last week with ubuntu and installed TWRP sucessfully.

Setup, Preparation and Prerequisites
Open command prompt - Press Window Key + R, type in "cmd" (without the quotes), and hit enter.
USB Debugging - On your nexus player go to Settings > About > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
Enter bootloader mode - Hold the button on the bottom of the device when you plug in the power cable, or enable developer options and "adb reboot bootloader"
Once you are in fastboot mode, the light below nexus player will be blinking constantly. You can verify by using "fastboot devices"
ADB Installation
Download the full Android SDK here (scroll to the bottom of the page>DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS>SDK Tools Only) or get a slimmed version containing only the essential components here
Extract the zip and place the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.
**If you chose to download the slimmed sdk skip to step 5**
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go into the android-sdk-windows folder and run SDK Manager.exe. Install the following packages (there are a total of 4 packages):
- Tools > Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools
- Extras > Android Support Library, Google USB Driver
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go back into the android-sdk-windows directory, and you should see a new folder named platform-tools. If you don't see this new folder, repeat the step above.
To confirm that it is indeed working, open a command prompt window and enter the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
adb version
If it displays "Android Debug Bridge version x.x.xx" it is working. If it is gives an error saying that adb is not a recognized command, it has not been successful. Carefully repeat the steps above if this is the case. Close the command prompt window when you are done.
Show File Extensions - Open a command prompt window and run "Control folders" (without the quotes). Go to the View tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" option. This will help avoid confusion when renaming files.
Backup (Optional) - Unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe all data from the device. This includes apps, settings and even the contents of the internal storage (pictures, music, etc.). Copy all important files off the nexus player onto a PC or upload them to a cloud.
Driver Installation
Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
Select Browse my computer for driver software
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Selecting show all devices
Clicking have disk
Finally selecting Desktop\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf as the driver
Alternative you can also download and install the Universal ADB Driver.

Information
Rooting this device is actually quite a simple and easy process. Before you begin, it is recommended that you at least try to understand what each part of the process will do. Although this guide will elongate each step in order to show all of the details, the method used can be broken up into 2 main steps: Unlocking the Bootloader and Rooting. Each new step relies on the previous step to have been completed, and a basic summary of each part is:
Unlocking Bootloader: Opens the door to the internal memory of the device to be written on to. This allows you to flash images onto the main partitions of the device in future.
Rooting: You can gain root booting up root.img
1. Unlocking Bootloader
Turn the nexus player off. Then go into bootloader mode by holding the button on the bottom of the device when you plug in the power cable, or enable developer options and "adb reboot bootloader"
Plug nexus player into your PC, then open a command prompt window and type:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will list the connected devices. If your nexus player serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the nexus player is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.
If the nexus player has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlocking the bootloader with the following command:
Remember that this step will wipe EVERYTHING off the phone
OEM unlock twice
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
After you have done, please proceed onto the next section of the guide.
2. Installing a Custom Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3114717
https://twrp.me/devices/asusnexusplayer.html
3. Rooting
Now that your nexus player has an unlocked bootloader, now this step is to gain root
Android 7.X
- coming soon -
Android 6.X
Require: TWRP, Custom boot.img and flashable supersu
(Refer to above link)
Android 5.0
Warning: This rooting guide is for Android 5.X only!
Boot (not flash) the root image which will give you root with the stock ROM
Confirm that you have downloaded the SuperSU zip from the downloads section above and you have extracted it and it is located in the platform-tools folder inside of the android-sdk-windows folder on your desktop.
Make sure the nexus player is in bootloader mode
Open a command prompt window and run the following commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
Code:
fastboot boot root.img
This will install SuperSU on your device, once the command has completed continue.
Open SuperSU and update the binaries.
Keep in mind that the first boot may take longer than usual.
Congrats! Your nexus player now has an unlocked bootloader, and is rooted.
==================================================
How to flash factory image for Nexus Player?
1) Download image file for your nexus player - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2) Boot your Nexus device into fastboot mode.
3) On your computer, use 7zip to extract the .tgz file you downloaded from the Android Developer website. Use 7zip a second time to extract the .tar file you extracted from the .tgz. When you’re done, you should have a folder with several files in it.
4) Copy all of these files and paste them in the platform-tools folder in the Android SDK on your computer. If you followed the above tutorial, this should be under the C drive, then under Program Files (x86) on Windows. Linux users, you know where you put it.
5) If you have not already done so, connect your Nexus device to your computer. ADB and Fastboot commands should already work at this point if you’ve been following along.
There are two flash-all files. If you’re in Windows, you’ll want to double click the one that has the gear logo and says “Windows Batch File” on the right. If you’re on Linux, you’ll want to double click the flash-all.sh.
At this point a box should pop up and you should see the installation taking place. While this is going on, do not unplug your device for any reason. Let it do its thing.
6) Once the installation process as finished, your device will automatically reboot and you can now safely disconnect your device from your computer.

What about installing BusyBox?
I have a USB OTG cable but the adapter is female on the available USB side...I am not sure how to go about connecting my laptop/PC to the NP in order to perform ADB commands. Do I need a special cable or is there another way?

Don't use the USB OTG cable, use a micro USB cable (same kind of cable that comes with android phones)
I cannot believe I missed that, how embarrassing. Thanks for the response, now I can follow this guide. I was thinking too hard about the OTG cable being a necessary piece of the puzzle.
I am able to get to the bootloader with no problems, I've got ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC, as well as the drivers. However ADB doesn't pick up my NexusPlayer even though fastboot does. Thoughts?
See Attachments
EDIT: Nevermind, I was expecting different responses from adb/fastboot. When in the bootloader adb will not confirm a connection, only fastboot. Sorry for being a noob...

I could be mistaken, but when you're in the bootloader you're going to use FASTBOOT and not ADB commands. So therefore the command should be "fastboot devices" instead of "adb devices"?

AFAIK ADB is for Android, and Fastboot is for bootloader.
But i have the oposite problem. Mine NP is getting recognized useing ADB when normaly booted, but when i am in fastboot mode, fastboot isent working. I get no output when run 'fastboot devivces'. I have both tried to set the NP in fastboot mode by using the hiod button and plug in power, and with adb rebbot bootloader.
Any one have a clue why adb works, but not fastboot?
Double check to see if you have the latest version of fastboot. I have read that if you don't have the most up to date version the NP is not recognized.

Have you re-installed the Google driver when you are booted in the bootloader? The driver needs to install twice: once when booted into Android, and once when booted into the bootloader
ADB fastboot for Mac Quick Question??
Hey guys does anyone have any idea on how this can be done on a Mac....I know I know. When I initially plug in my Nexus player with the micro usb, nothing happens on my mac or the Nexus so i am guessing that the drivers are not installed. How would i go about getting these for the Mac? I have already downloaded the slim version of the ADB and Fastboot files with the platform tools into a folder on my desktop named Andriod, so i have these already. And i know that if you hold the button down on the nexus and plug the power in it brings up the bootloader screen. I just need help with the commands in terminal and where to access the drivers from. Also, on the Nexus the Developer options have already been enabled and USB debugging has been turned on. If anyone can help, It would be much appricated! Just started to use terminal commands so yes i am a noob in this department . Thanks agin in advance.

Hey Sleepy2, I just did a brief read through and it states this:
Set up your system to detect your device.
If you're developing on Windows, you need to install a USB driver for adb. For an installation guide and links to OEM drivers, see the OEM USB Drivers document.
If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.
If that is the case, what would you suggest doing next? Thanks again for helping!

Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded fastboot and go ahead with the commands shown in the first post. You will probably have to add a "./" in front of the commands given that you are on a mac, e.g.,
Code:
fastboot devices
becomes
Code:
./fastboot devices
I seem to be having the same problem as goxboxlive. I have tried installing the drivers about 100x tried on several computers and rebooted many a time. The only thing I can think of from the posts in here was to update fastboot but I dled the android studio and I would assume that has the latest version in there? Otherwise I couldn't find somewhere to download just fastboot from. Any help or recommendations or where I can dl the latest fastboot?

Follow up. Got it to work. In the guide it says after booting into fastboot to type "adb devices" in the console. You should instead type "fastboot devices" to see if you have the correct drivers and then go on from there. This worked for me, hopefully it will help someone else too.

In the guide it says after booting into fastboot to type "adb devices" in the console. You should instead type "fastboot devices" to see if you have the correct drivers and then go on from there. This worked for me, hopefully it will help someone else too.

To avoid further confusion, I've updated the post since the OP hadn't yet.

Thank you, saw your post that time and wanted to change it but keep forgetting.
Currently working on some basic developer app for Nexus Player.

It's all good, wasn't terrible let to figure out, and if you're developing even more for the Nexus Player, the more power to ya! Keep it up!
So I want to flash stock rom back but when flashing my laptop freeze and I cannot do anything....tried many times and same problem..try run adb command in platform tool and adb device list not showing my pixel..how to fix this problem?
The first time I got my pixel I had to manually install drivers from the official android developers website, after that my PC detected my phone when in ADB and fastboot.
Make sure you also have the latest platform tools (28.0.2), get them from here
My adb detect my pixel in fastboot command..but in adb command cannot detect "adb devices"

The latest is actually 29.0.1. They haven't been updating the changelog. Try to download it now, and you'll see.

Win10, in fastboot mode the device cannot be found, but it can be found in adb. I installed drivers from Sony's website. In fastboot mode the device manager shows under 'other', in adb it is normal and shows 'Sony sa0116 ADB interface driver'. As far as I know the driver is the same for adb and fastboot...my Pixel is recognised with no problem, only this Sony...anyone knows how to get it recognised in fastboot mode?
Sorted the driver issue... didn't install it properly...
Go to Windows device manager look for one called x-boot or android (your xperia) and open the driver details.
Klick update driver and next choose look for software on computer. Next window gives you the option to pick one of common devices. Install the sony driver for adb interface.
Could give a zip of it if needed.
After the manual driver update it should recognize your phone immediately - if you have checked the "fastboot devices" prompt before just repeat that (no reboot or reconnection necessary)
Win 10 seems to have problems. I downgraded to win 7 all sorted.
I'm having the same issue with my Xperia X compact. Windows 10 says it's installed best driver for my device but in device manager theres a warning next to the driver and device is not recognised under ADB devices. I remember it being simple the last time I did it under windows 7. Is there an alternative method for flashing Twrp recovery other than ABD?
Thanks
Dave

unfortunatly, adb is the only way to install twrp.
the drivers (i attached) [from Sony by the way] need to be installed.
You need to install this driver/ file : android_winusb.inf
then boot your phone to fastboot (volume + [up] only) or with adb (adb reboot fastboot) and windows should detect "a new device" which (normaly) is called "android" with exclamation mark.
Tap "update driver"
Search on PC
select from list
ADB interface
Samsung Android ADB Interface is the driver you need to select for windows to detect the phone
And then theoretically it should work.
If that doesn't work, look if a USB port (either PC/Phone/Cable) is broken/damaged etc.
