I think it might have worked now... I ran minimal adb then typed "adb shell" then enter. Then typed the string settings put global etc and got no confirmation but another website stated that you should restart your phone after this step. So will be testing it now and see if that has worked
Also entering "settings global list" or something similar to that showed me that "tether_dun had indeed set to 0 without root. Will update on my progress if it has worked after I go through 4GB of my allowed tether data monthly.

Thanks @shimp208 for this tool.
I've run into a puzzling issue that I'm hoping someone else has solved. Using Minimal ADB 1.3.1 on a Windows 7 x64 laptop, I can connect to my device (Amazon FireTV 2) over WiFi. However, adb is unable to see the device over a direct USB connection. "adb devices" returns an empty list. Is this a known limitation?
Additional info
1) Another computer running Ubuntu can see the FireTV over USB connection, so I know that the cable and the FireTV themselves are not the problem.
2) Since I can connect over the network, I know that Minimal ADB actually works on my Windows 7 laptop
3) When the USB is plugged into the laptop, it can see and recognize the FireTV. I can browse its file structure from the laptop.
4) I have installed the Amazon USB Driver from http://androidmtk.com/download-amazon-usb-drivers
5) I have uninstalled and reinstalled Minimal ADB, and have restarted both the laptop and the FireTV
Yep it was a driver issue. After following instructions found here (driver download), I was able to get ADB over USB to work. This is the same driver referred to in the page you linked (sha1 E096C52584558FA05ECBE96A39BFCB6F0C264145)@Patrick_445
I can rule out a problem with MAF, it is likely a ADB driver issue on amazon's part.
Hi,
My M9 does not get detected in download mode via adb
'adb devices' returns with an empty list
Is it normal ? I am on Windows 10.
P.S. my M9 gets detected in recovery mode and via direct usb connection (when booted in android OS) 'adb devices' returns with the serial number and "device/recovery"
So where is the problem ?! Is there specific Win10 HTC drivers to download ?? Thanks
@shimp208 thank you for that tip ? so what you're saying is its dangerous if I don't know what I'm doing to use adb shell yes? And yes I admit I don't really understand what I'm doing, just following guides. Tethered today about 1.54GB according to Tethered data in android. Will need to see what amount it shows on Three's website within the next few days. In adb shell what is the string to show a list of all the values as in when it shows tether_dun_required=0 I tried "settings global list" again but that doesn't show anything? I'm sure its those three words or it may be "global settings"? Will test tomorrow.
Always double check the manufacturers website (in this case HTC) for device specific drivers. However the new HTC download mode is similar to a type of fastboot mode and as a result adb won't work in that. What specifically are you trying to do with your device?
Provided you flash the correct firmware and follow the instructions provided it should go smoothly.
Well I thought it would be a problem that my device is undetected in download mode. Thanks for the help

Well I am S-Off and SuperCID-ed so do i need to check for anyhting in the firmware rather that it is for the M9 ? CID won't matter I guess if I am S-Off and SuperCID. Not sure about MID though...
I would make sure the MID matches as that stands for the model ID and flashing different model firmware not intended for your device could really screw things up.
ScreenshotsADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and Fastboot are a must for any Android device owner. Typically if you want to install ADB and Fastboot you have to download and setup the Android SDK (If you really want to learn about Android Development I highly recommend downloading and installing the full Android SDK from here), but this can be unnecessary for people who just want to install ADB and Fastboot. To simply the process I created a windows installer that will install the latest version of ADB and Fastboot for you quickly and easily. The total installation of Minimal ADB and Fastboot is around 2 MB in size (Compared to the 90+ MB size of the Android SDK Tools, and 425+ MB size of the complete Android SDK) making it very lightweight.
How to Install
- Easily Install ADB and Fastboot with a simple to use installer
- Lightweight, total installation around 2 MB in size
ChangelogPrerequisites
- Your device is plugged into your computer
- You have USB Debugging enabled under Developer Options (Note: This may be listed as ADB Debugging on some ROM's)
- You have installed the necessary drivers and your computer is recognizing your device
- Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup.exe from here
- Follow the Installers instructions and select where you would like to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too (For simplicity I choose to install it to the Desktop)
- After you have chosen where to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too select whether you would like to create a Start Menu Folder or not for the instalation
- Once you have chosen where to install it to and if you want to create a Start Menu Folder select the install option
- After the Installation Wizard has completed you can select to start Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- You can also start Minimal ADB and Fastboot by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installation or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- You should now see a command window open, with the command window open you can now issue ADB and Fastboot commands to your device
For more information on issuing commands to your device using ADB and Fastboot I would recommend taking a look at this guide on ADB and this guide on Fastboot.
