ADB in Win 7 64

Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting adb to work in win 7 64 bit...maybe someone can shed some light?
I downloaded and unzipped the Android SDK for windows from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to C:\Android and set the path to C:\Android\Tools
I downloaded Daemon tools lite and installed it
I downloaded Java Development Kit for 64 bit (and the runtime environment for good measures) and installed them
Now, I need to download the drivers for my G1 and utilizing the instructions on the developer website I opened my cmd prompt and typed android and this is the output:
Starting Android SDK and AVD Manager
Access denied
SWT folder 'lib\x86_64' does not exist.
Please set ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform.
When I go to C:\Android\tools\lib\x86_64\ there IS a swt.jar file in there....
What gives??

GREAT...the second I post this message I have a revelation...
Going through windows explorer to the android.bat file and right clicking it to run as administrator works...

[Q] assiatance with adb please any one

hi guys im getting anoyed with my pc and phone now ive followed so meany tutorial etc on how to install adb but still not getting any where so far i have done
1. downloaded sdk from code.google.com
2. extracted to c:/android-sdk-windows
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

ok i got that and it worked, ie picked up my device, then what do i do?

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.

[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

Glad to here it. Why not hit a few thanks buttons?!

In need of some guidance.

I have been trying to install TWRP and I keep running into a wall. Everytime I try to run Kindle Fire Utility it does this (attachment).'' 'findstr' not recognized as an internal external command, operational program or batch file.''
I have rooted with BR3, I believe I have the right drivers too. Under manage devices I see "Android Phone" and "ADB Composite Interface".
I really need some help here. I have searched the forums and google and can't seem to find exactly what I need.
This is the tutorial I was following when I noticed the discrepancy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqKZLMaRSgc&feature=relmfu

type "set" at a command prompt and check the "path" variable for "c:\windows\system32"
btw your os/bit would be helpful
another good practice is to move kfu to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" that it is c:\kfu
it don't like spaces in the path

Thank you, I am on Windows 7 Starter 32 Bit.

did you do the above things ?
success ? - no success ?
findstr.exe is a system command and located in c:\windows\system32
if it's not found usually the path to your system32 directory is missing
here how to set:
http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx
simply add it to PATH with a ; as delimiter

I am working on it as I type this. I already have c:\kfu set up. Now reading that tutorial and hopefully get it to where it needs to be.

I think you forgot to mention that this is only for Windows. So it does not work for Linux or Mac.

Quick, fast, no frills, just the necessary files itself. Hopefully this thread gets updated whenever a new release comes up

thanks, nice share bro :good:

how to use those files
I thank you for the files but... how are we supposed to use them. I ask since I'm new to adb. And need this vision of adb to sideload to my fire hd6

open a command window and change directory to the folder where adb.exe is installed. Then you can use adb commands. Commands syntax is as follow:
Code:
adb [target] <command>
You only need to specify the [target] if you have more than 1 android device or emulator connected simultaneously, otherwise the command will be directed to the only connected device, so the syntax will be:
Code:
adb <command>
So if you want to sideload a rom to your device, boot in your custom recovery and start the "sideload" mode.
In the command window:
Code:
adb sideload my_rom.zip
Don't forget that the rom.zip must be in the same folder where adb.exe is
If you want to use "adb push" instead of "adb sideload" then boot in custom recovery (not in sideload mode) and use the following command:
Code:
adb push my_rom.zip /sdcard
You can read more about adb commands here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#issuingcommands
adb sideload explained here: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.in/2013/12/ow-to-use-adb-sideload.html
If you have more question about what file to sideload or push a rom to your device, you should ask in the correct forum, Amazon Fire HD 6 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd

thank u
save my day

go to this website: https://fl1.androidfilehost.com/dl/...803384/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe?
download and install it to your computer, then try to sideload it through there.
if that doesn't work just download the stand alone SDK from the android studio website and after its downloaded, open the .rar file and extract it to a new folder to your desktop. after that open it and search for a folder that says platform tools and look for the ADB .exe file and copy it, then go to your C drive and go to programs and try to find the android studio folder, when you have located it open it and look for a folder named platform tools, then delete the adb.exe in that folder and paste the new one in there or you can probably just copy the whole platform tools folder and replace the other one in the C drive.
I hope this helps, if it doesnt just message me and im sorry for the late reply.

this usually means the phone is not communicating with your PC.
- either your phone is corrupt
- the connection is corrupt
- or the cable is bad
Tip: add the path of ADB.exe to your system Environment Variables, so you can call it w/out first navigating to it.
- Right click Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings
- Environment Variables ... > edit "Path" by adding the path to ADB.exe.
ie.
Windows 10 x64, i simply add: D:\PortableApps\ADB
for other Windows, you may have to add to the end of "Path", click edit > scroll to the end > add ;D:\PortableApps\ADB;
(don't forget to add the semicolon at the end)
Now you can simply launch Command Prompt and enter: ADB sideload *file*

Not working on Android 6.0
This and older versions will not work on Samsung S7E for system backup and restore.
It accepts the commands, but the confirmation popup supposed to open on the device never does. For a few 6.0 users on other devices, it opened up but the backups were not really completed.

thanks bro. nice share :good:

Thanks, you save me too much time!!

my adb was working fine for my Note 4. I followed the instructions to upgrade bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...t/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
Now, I keep getting device offline when used adb devices command. Do you think, upgrading ADB will solve this? thank you
