3.installed htc wildfire drivers
4.created a path on enviromentable variuble
5.ive loaded the skd.exe
6. ran cmd and ran adb and adb devices but my pc will not reconise this command any adice please thanks
ps ive also tryed using qtaADB it connect to the phone but dnt show any thing frustrated now lol thanks daddyspud
First download adb for windows from " http://developer.android.com/sdk/ ".
then u will get a file named " android-sdk_r08-windows ".rename it as "Android SDK" after extracting.
download proper driver for your phone and install them .now move "Android SDK" to root of hard drive that is to c\Android SDK...
now update the adb using SDK manager that is inside Android SDK.all packeges even usb drivers.
connect the phone via usb and windows should recognize it as android phone .
now take "cmd".command prompt and type the following code .
cd\
cd Android SDK\tools\
adb devices
Now Adb is set if it shows your phone code ..
Sorry about my english .
I had a hardtime making my computer recognize my wildfire, I had to manipulate the driver to make it find it. just google it and you shall find .. if thats the problem ..
thanks worked a dream cheers buddie
They changed the location of the adb.exe file with the new SDK release using the example given would be :-
cd\
cd Android SDK\platform-tools\
easier in my opinion to add to path in windows
c:\android sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
make sure u add java.exe to path aswell
Hope this helps

Well what do you want to do with adb?
run the sdk but i get errors when i start it "error 2" cant find file.
Failed to get the adb version.
Edit - Never mind i have sorted it.
I did a few things the other day in SDK, messing around with emulators. Now I can't get adb to work.
I keep getting this:
c:\AndroidSDK>adb
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This is the exact path I had used in the past, even following the .txt instructions that have worked for me in the past.
Yes in am in debugging, charge only, partition mount showing "unmount /system" like it has in the past. Does this have anything to do with what packages I updated when I was messing with SDK emulator?

Go into the directory and see if there is a file called adb in there...if it's not check the other folders like tools or something like that i'm at work so i don't know the exact name of the directories...

This is a PC error message stating that the file adb.exe is no longer in the AndroidSDK directory. As zervic mentioned, check and see if the file adb.exe is in that directory.
We're onto something...there is no adb in the AndroidSDK folder. So where do I get this adb? I did the SDK so long ago, like 5 months. Don't remember a thing about it and consider myself lucky that I got it going back then, piecing together youtube videos and several forums.

Just reinstall (or unzip if I remember right) the Android SDK into that directory
I started the "update all" in the "installed packages" window. If that doesn't fix it, I shall follow your advice.
Edit: The "update all" didn't fix it.
I found the .zip and extracted it to my c:\AndroidSDK folder, but still a nogo. I also tried copying adb.exe straight to the AndroidSDK folder, still a nogo.
Anything else to try?
When I copied adb.exe to the tools folder and tried adb in cmd prompt, I got "This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
Are they telling me to uninstall SDK and start over? Like I said, I was lucky to get it going the first time!
Smack myself in the head while I Edit: Found the AdbWinApi.dll in the zip and copied it to the tools folder. Adb runs now and recognizes my device. Later I will find out if I can rm some stock apps from my wife's new phone.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Just so you know that may be a little unstable. It may be worth your while to check the "platform-tools" folder and see if adb is in there, i believe that's where it is by default and it also may be worth your while to run adb from that folder instead of where you jerry rigged it to run. But, on the other hand, it may work the way you have it. You never know. Just figured I'd throw that out there.
While rooting my Nook Color, I came across a recommendation for a free app in the market called adbWireless.
It's AWESOME! No need to use USB or worry about drivers, just install the app, push the big huge button and then type the adb command it shows you to connect to your device. Worked absolutely perfectly on my Nook... haven't tried it on my Aria, but next time I need to ADB something on it, you can bet I will!
did anyone check their tools directory?
ie: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
LOL
hello
i just see how to root KF and it's so hard !!
i don't know how to use ADB
This seems pretty helpful in figuring out adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
When I rooted mine a few days ago, I had spent the night before trying to do it on Windows. Two computers, and none of the files that were supposed to exist did, even thought I had followed the directions up to that point.
Oddly enough, the Linux/Mac tutorial on the forums here works incredibly well and is incredibly easy. If you can use Linux (even a LiveCD or USB drive install) that is probably going to be the easiest method.
http://rootkindlefire.com
Watch the YouTube video or do the step by step method. You do need to download Android SDK and install an USB driver as well. Took maybe 15 minutes all together
Once you get to the point to make the .android folder in your users folder (if you dont have sdk installed), you have to use the command prompt (cmd) or else you will get the "You mus type a file name" error. The command is " mkdir .android ". just make sure you do it in the proper directory (cmd should show C:\Users\*yourusername*)
I just did it following this guys video. Quality is great and so are the instructions.
Shows:
-how to install adb
-how to edit the appropriate files
-how to root KF with superoneclick

I'll second this. It's extremely simple and straight forward. Much simpler than the Windows method if you're at all comfortable with the command line. And as the OP said you don't even need Linux installed you can use a live CD.

This is what I had to do basically.
I created a folder android, and wouldnt let me name it .android
So in command prompt i renamed it, then I put an empty txt file, renamed it to the necessary ini, pasted that line they tell you and it worked first try.

I was also testing the new version of apk multi tool yesterday and I found out to be very buggy. The solution to your problem is to copy these files from the platform-tools of sdk:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
to the platform-tools folder of apk multi tool.

Have you installed the Android sdk?
Adb is part of that package - make sure you installed all the required tools
Anyway you can just follow my apktool guide link in signature
ADB is not required for decompiling - Just pulling & pushing files if the phone supports it & logcats etc
Hey guys, I'm finally working up the courage to root. I installed adb on my Macbook but I can't find where the platform tools folder is at. I used the Android.zip file and ran the Adb-install-mac.sh script to install adb. The computer recognizes the phone via adb devices and I'm able to reboot into boot loader and get fastboot oem device-id (needed for us996 unlock). My obstacle now is getting the exploit files into the platform-tools folder so I can begin rooting it. Problem is.. I can't find where the Adb-install-mac.sh script installed adb folder. Ive searched the hard drive and nothing comes up.
EDIT
Forgot to add.. The documentation for the adb install states that adb and fastboot installs in usr/bin. Do I copy the exploit files/twrp/superSU into that directory? I don't see any folders in there.
I figured it out. Got it rooted. Not as scary as I thought it was going to be.
