could i use a command line, i. e. to ping my homenetwork ?? is there a cmd ? sorry,didnt find that..

Frank

unfortunately not. There is no command line, and also, no ping command.
You can download some tools like tracert and ping, but I can't remember where.

Try VxUtil... Great for troubleshooting, unfortunately no cmd line. Freeware

Command line from MS
Hi
I found thes on MS's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en#filelist
I installed the command line but can't run anything under it. I may be being a bit silly here but I am trying to run pptpclnt.exe to check if the GRE packets are being sent by my XDA. My logic is that if you are running a command shell you should be able to execure any DOS app?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Alan

no the bins of dos applications are x86
and the cpu in the xda is an arm
it could never be don
unless you have a dos emulator

Command line pptpclnt
Thanks that explains it! The next question is is there a PPC app like pptpclnt which would enable me to do the same thing
Kind regards
Alan

You can. http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/index.htm
It has ping, net, CMD and other utils. You may download some more utils from my site (stolen from MS PlatformBuilder 4.20).
Of cause you cannot run DOS programs from it, but you can try DosBox emulator (on my site).

Can't seen to find that DOSbox emulator. Please could you point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Alan

SuSE has to be different

Hello, I've been with XDA Developers since before I got my XDAii. You've helped me with every problem faced so far, and I would love it if you could try help me with this one. please.
I've Downloaded some version of SynCE (which is supposed to be the Linux version of ActiveSync) but I need to compile it with the ./ command. My only problem is SuSE doesn't have a ./ command and the Packages I've downloaded are useless. Does anyone know where I can get SunCE so it will (Atleast) install under SuSE.. If it is not possible Novell is getting an email :twisted:
Thankyou in advance.

./ ???? I think you should read better the instructions... there's no ./ command in Linux (Nor SuSE, nor Debian, Nor everyone) dot slash in Linux refers to actual directory. It's: In windows (MS-DOS command line) you can run any command simply typing it's name and intro because actual path is a path that windows recognize.
For security issues Linux doesn't include actual path in its execution paths so when you want to run some command in actual directory you should write, before the command you want to run, the dot slash in order to say Linux where to find the command you want to run.
After all this, I think you forgot to type the instruction to compile the SynCE so better try to read better the README's or INSTALL's.txt and type the command after ./ And wait to call Novel... specially if your smiley indicates that it's going to be a flaming mail

I'm a linux user and have been for over 5 years now, and ./ is to run a application after you chmodded it properly so the user can run it. SynCE is compatible with any linux because any linux is modable to install any application even though it says it might not be able too! Linux is all editable, all the files, etc. You can get anything running, I sure have.

feeling like a serious noob today--ADB linux help

ok well i've been using adb for a while now via windows on our desktop, my laptop however runs ubuntu. but i've run into a problem.....I CAN'T OPEN ADB IN LINUX! using terminal i navigate to the proper location then i initiate adb shell but i get an error saying the command doesn't exist...what am i doing wrong?

tried ./adb ?
if you haven't added ADB to path it won't be recognized as a command, then you'd have to execute it using ./adb

Hi, adb
is located in <android-sdk-folder>/platform-tools folder. You could add it into your $PATH variable in .bashrc . Than it's ready to use from anywhere

[Q] Error: adb is not recogzined as an internal or external command

Error: adb is not recogzined as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file???
i successfully installed the android sdk 08 and still got this message.
Has winxp, tmobile GT

I had this same exact problem, but I was just able to get it working. First, this website is helped a lot:
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/
Also, make sure you download the Java SDK package from the link given on that website.
Second, when the website says to "Run Windows command line tool (cmd) and go to D:\android-sdk-windows\tool" open command prompt and enter this code:
cd (enter the path to where the android SDK was installed), for example:
cd C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Notice how I entered "platform-tools" instead of just "tools" because this is the folder where the adb file is download with the android SDK. After you do this, you should then be able to apply adb codes (make sure the screen on your tab is on because you will have to accept superuser prompts, therefore your tab needs to be rooted).
Every time you open command prompt, you will have to enter:
cd thentheplacewheretheandroidSDKisinstalled
as stated above before you are able to enter adb commands.
Hope this helps!

@caveman999 is giving good advice. Working in the command window is weird to those who did not use old pc-dos environment.
You have to be in the tools directory or you have to edit your PATH in windows so you can use adb from any prompt.

thnaks for both of you guys i installed the java jdk and also specified the path in environment variables but still error message!

I could only get adb to work error-free when I was in the same directory as adb.exe program. Just change directories cd..(enter) etc until you are in that directory.

I had the same error, until I downloaded and placed the .adb files accordingly.
Source: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
"UPDATE: If it says adb not found or something similar, download the ADB files and extract them into the Tools folder of the SDK (they were taken out by Google in the R08 version for some reason and need to be put back)."
download adb files from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RTEY0Q97
The important thing is to put the files really under the "tools" folder.
When you check out above Source I am sure your problem will be solved

Thank you all problem solved

Adb shell

Hi i know that this question is stupid for u guys here.im woundering where do i get tha adb program(u know like a terminal emulator app).please help i need it for instaling an modified framework.sory for bad english and stupid question
My first android phone so im noob at this tings

Do i need to instal ssh droid from market?
Sent from my GT-I5800

anyone here to giv us a tutorial on adb??
thnx in adv

adb is a part of the Android SDK. Installation is described at "Installing the SDK (devloper.android.com)".

After downloading and installing the SDK (let it download the packages too), open command prompt
In vista\7: Press start -> type cmd to the search box
In XP: Press start and click on 'run' and then type cmd there
Then you must cd.. to the directory where adb is installed (which is usually C:\Program Files\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
Once your command prompt is there, you can use the adb commands. If it says Adb is not a recognizable command then you're most likely in the wrong directory.
cd.. goes backwards a directory
cd goes forwards
For example, the command prompt shows C:\users\administrator, if you type cd.. it goes to C:\users, you type it again it goes to C:\ etc..
Once there, you type cd program files -> cd android -> cd android-sdk-windows -> cd platform-tools and there you are
More info on how to use command prompt: http://dosprompt.info/
edit: sorry for being stupid. Of course you can do straight cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
