Newer version of adb needed for nexus 5

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

When adb sideloading 5.0.0 -> 5.0.1, the recovery on a nexus 5 requires at least adb 1.0.32

$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Nicolae Istratii (tallman9)]

As a temporary fix for those in need.
Download from official google source just the archived folder with adb https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+archive/cd048d18e0b81338c1a04b9749a00444597df394/platform_tools/android/bin/linux.tar.gz
unarchive and use from inside that folder "./adb" or or copy to /usr/bin/adb .

The temporay fix dosen*t work for me (Ubuntu 15.04 x64):

~/google$ ./adb
./adb: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The workaround worked just fine to install nakasi LRX22G from LRX21P (Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 x64).

I download and untarred https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+archive/cd048d18e0b81338c1a04b9749a00444597df394/platform_tools/android/bin/linux.tar.gz

Since I am running 14.04 x64, I kept getting: command not found: ./adb.

The workaround I found is to install the ia32-libs and now I have the updated version.

I downloaded and extracted https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+archive/cd048d18e0b81338c1a04b9749a00444597df394/platform_tools/android/bin/linux.tar.gz
My system is running Ubuntu 14.04 x64. If I run adb (1.0.31) sideload filename.zip, it returns:
"You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this device." on my device and "error: protocol fault (no status)" on my PC command line terminal.
and If run adb (1.0.32, downloaded version) it returns:
"Failed" on my device and "Total xfer: 0.00x" on my PC command line terminal.

[Charwinger21 (holy-hell-h)]

1.0.32 is also needed to upgrade from 5.0 or 5.0.1 to 5.1. Old version in apt-get repository is now preventing users from upgrading to the next full release of Android (unless they go hunting for ADB elsewhere or are running fully stock).

Is there anything technical holding up the update?

[clickwir (clickwir)]

Running Kubuntu 14.10 and only have adb 1.0.31. Can't update my Nexus 4 to 5.0.1 because it requires at least adb 1.0.32.

[Theo Nolte (theo-nolte)]

Thanks for the workaround. Extracting the above binary and installing libstdc++6:i386 did the trick for me on Ubuntu 15.04 x64.

As Lollipop becomes more and more widespread, it is a shame the package is not updated. Tracking down the problem and finding this thread took me half a day.

Adb's sideload is a relly important function, please update the official packages.

[Aaron Honeycutt (aaronhoneycutt)]

We have the same version in wily right now and we really need this feature.

[Eero (eero+launchpad)]

I can't upgrade my phone to Marshmallow due to this error.

[Eero (eero+launchpad)]

Workaround in comment #3 worked for me.

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

A lot of recent devices are affected - for my the Samsung Note 8 with Team Win Recovery.

[Austin (vidplace7)]

I'd also really appreciate an official package update, until then I'm working on a PPA for this

[Alex10336 (ap10336)]

It's not « Nexus 5 » specific issue.
Looking official android sdk documentation: ( https://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#Enabling )
quote:
----
Note: When you connect a device running Android 4.2.2 or higher to your computer, the system shows a dialog asking whether to accept an RSA key that allows debugging through this computer. This security mechanism protects user devices because it ensures that USB debugging and other adb commands cannot be executed unless you're able to unlock the device and acknowledge the dialog. This requires that you have adb version 1.0.31 (available with SDK Platform-tools r16.0.1 and higher) in order to debug on a device running Android 4.2.2 or higher.

And obviously, android 5.+/5.1.1 seem to need this 1.0.32 version of adb.

I've an android 5.1.1, and need adb 1.0.32 to show my device (not a nexus)
