The following downloads give you access to factory systemimages and the kernel source code for Glass.
Factory images
To easily install an.apk onto Google Glass you must: Make sure to have Google Glass connected via USB. Download and place the APK file in the same directory as ADB. If you installed ADB based on the guide above, then simply place the APK in the Android-adb folder located in the C drive. Confirm Google Glass is connected. Mar 17, 2014 For the USB Driver to work with Glass, some tweaks need to be made to the USB driver’s androidwinusb.inf file (located in android sdk install folderextrasgoogleusbdriver). The list of steps to manually modify the file can be found here. Alternatively, you can download a modified version of the USB driver from AndroidFileHost.com.
The following images allow you to gain root shell access on your Glassand flash it back to factory specifications.
Warning: Rooting, unlocking, or flashing your Glass voidsyour warranty and can leave your device in an irrecoverablestate. Proceed at your own risk.Warning: The system images for XE9 and earlier are nolonger available due to a firmware change with XE10. If yourdevice has XE10 or later installed, flashing to XE9 orearlier will brick your device.Version | Factory System Image | Rooted Bootloader | SHA-1 Checksum |

adb reboot bootloader
requires that the device is booted and has debugging turned on. You can also enterfastboot mode by holding down the camera button, pressing the power button (Glassmust be off before doing this), and waiting about 10-15 seconds.Glass does not indicate that it is in fastboot mode(display is off), but you can run fastboot devices
to check.To gain root shell access on Glass, run the following commands using the rooted bootloader:
To flash Glass back to factory specifications, extract the desired factory systemimage package and run the following commands:
Note: To obtain the adb and fastboot commands, download the Android SDK Platform-tools from the Android SDKManager. Go to developer.android.com for moreinformation.Kernel source code

Download Google Installer For Android
The Google USB Driver is required for Windows if you want to performadb debugging with Google devices. Windows drivers forall other devices are provided by the respective hardware manufacturer, as listed in theOEM USB Drivers document.
Note:If you're developing on Mac OS X or Linux, then you do not need to install a USBdriver. Instead seeUsing Hardware Devices.
You can download the Google USB Driver for Windows in one of two ways:
Download Android Driver For Google Glass Replacement
- Or, get it from the Android SDK Manager as follows:
- In Android Studio, click Tools > SDK Manager.
- Click the SDK Tools tab.
- Select Google USB Driver and click OK.Figure 1. The SDK Manager with the Google USB Driver selected
- Proceed to install the package. When done, the driver files are downloaded into the
android_sdkextrasgoogleusb_driver
directory.
Using the SDK Managerhelps you keep the driver up to date by notifying you when your current driveris out of date.
