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

Prerequisites have...
A:android-sdk-windows installed
B: (on your phone) go to menu>settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.
C: the file you are pushing must be placed in the tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "build.prop.txt" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices example adb push build.prop.txt /system/bin
6. repeat step 3 for multiple files
7. adb reboot this is how you finish

Welcome to XDA and Android! Are you trying to get help for your Nexus One? This forum here is specifically for the HTC Hero CDMA.

hi, i have adb recognizing my phone, but i still can't seem to push the files over.... every time i try, i get 'cannot stat 'su' : No such file or directory'. i have made sure over and over to put the files in the same folder where adb is.... actually i have tried placing the files in the tools folder, as well as the platform-tools folder, and i keep getting that error when i try to push anything.
any suggestions? thx

i had the same issue with something i was trying to push. I think you need to make sure you have exactly the same file name like caps and all. i was trying to push rootexplorer.apk and i got the same message but i then changed it to RootExplorer.apk and it work.(notice the difference in caps)
just watch this and it'll explain everything.

Does it matter where sdk is installed my file path is
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
instead of
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
I just installed it in the default location.
I type adb remount and get the not recognised command.....
Thanks.
I don't think my phone is being picked up?

Make sure your have the drivers for your phone installed first of all.....Then, in your command prompt you have to change directories to the sdk (which you made harder by not installing to C:\
Try: cd Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then type: adb devices
That should return "xxxxxxdevice" connected....Then you know you have it set up.
Look in kyouko sig he has all the commands for adb

Flashing fresh ROM via ADB in Linux
Hello there.
M volumeUp and VolumeDown buttons are broken on my rooted Desire HD, so I cannot go through CWM any longer.
With regard to this post, I would ask the followings:
1) can this method be used to flash a new ROM (i.e. Coredroid, Leedroid..) without the need of those 2 buttons ?
2) My PC runs Linux. How does it work with this O.S. ?
Thanks

There is a thread somewhere on how to flash without a SD card and flashed using adb I believe, but don't take my word for it. Adb works fine with Linux, just have to set it up differently. Look in my sig and select the compile aosp on Ubuntu one and follow instructions on getting the USB set up.

Yes, I saw it. It's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911228

Hi I need help. I accidentally wipped my phone in CWM and now I'm trying to use adb push to push the update.zip into my phone sd everything seems to work but then in CMW it says there are no files..
any suggestions?
[Edit]
nevermind
I kept trying different locations
not sure which one did the trick but I'll list the one's I tried
so \update.zip /sdcard/
.... /sdcard/update.zip
(note I put "/update.zip" thinking maybe it needed to be reallocated to the same file/destination
Can i use adb push *.apk /system/app to push several files at once, and then repeat but using *.odex instead of *.apk? I keep ending up getting the same error, and i want to find out which app is messing with me...

Hello, I install the android SDK correctly and install all correct drivers, all correct files from the google repository, and reading on unlockr, you need to type CMD and enter a few commands, the final one being ADB devices, which is meant to bring up your device serial/id but doesnt show nothing for me, i deleted all drivers with a program, and it re-installs them, I put the phone into debug mode too, but whatever i try, i cant root my magic (32B), please help!!!!
i have followed every single guide but cant blooming root my phone!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!
Install the HTC Sync software first. If this connects correctly and recognizes your phone, then the ADB will find it too. I use it as a test, whether the drivers are installed correctly or not.
To start the ADB, you have to navigate to the folder where the SDK was extracted using the CMD Prompt, and then into /tools. There you type ADB and the command you want to execute.
done that mate, going to /tools and then adb devices and its meant to say a device serial, but on mine it shows nothing
As far as I know, you have to have a recovery installed to access adb.
Write "fastboot devices" while in /tools to see if the drivers are OK. When you install a recovery, adb should be accessible.
im a noob to this...ive tried to do this many times but it just wont let me update it. i found the usb driver folder it just said that their is no driver in this folder?
please help
thank you
in the driver folder all i have is AMD64 and i386
Download HTC Sync for eris and it should automatically update drivers..
i think you need to point it to the "usb" folder and not one of the sub folders.
in any case, dclay is correct... htc sync will install drivers as well...
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/
downloaded it now im on to the command prompt....now it keeps saying bad command bla bla
do i have to put the location of my tools folder into the command prompt?
it says...""is ont recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file?
damn my buddy has an droid that does this sooo easily
Open command prompt and type "cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools"
This is assuming you have it saved on your C drive and have it renamed "AndroidSDK"
Please let me know about adb shell, how to transfer files from pc to GT, i am totally new on this. Please me how to use adb shell?
adb.exe is a program that runs on your windows pc, and is a part of the android software developer kit, sdk, distributed for free. adb, android data bridge, lets us transfer files and execute commands between your phone and pc.
thank you rangercaptain for the clear answer.
also I was lacking this piece of info.
now it seems I have new hurdle to overcome, I'm based in Shanghai and it seems that I cannot download SDK. I get the typical 'time out' error when I try to go to both: code.google.com/android/download.htm and developer.android.com/sdk in 99.9% of the time you get these errors, it means the site is blocked.
any suggestions for mirror sites....I haven't been able to find one.
thanks!
thanks rangercaptain i was trying sim unlock as rotohammer says in his post put adb shell code and do big copy paste, will running adb.exe allows me to copy paste code as rotohammer says? thanks

Yes, that is exactly correct. It is a very cool, very smart method for us non-coders to unlock our tabs.
Make sure the first command you execute is "adb devices" to verify your connection and drivers. Copy everything from Roto's post. then right click in the command window, and select Paste from the pop up menu. Wait a minute ... done!

I googled "android sdk" and came up with a few links. Here is a promising one:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Choose the most recent. Also you will need drivers for your pc if you don't use windows 7. Again, google or search this galaxy tab forum.

Here is a website that I used to set up adb in general &
which also has a list of commands
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Once you have followed all the steps explained in here to set it up,
whenever you want to "send a command" over to your GT, you ...
1) first run "cmd" on your Windows device
2) and when the cmd windows pops up enter:
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
(to check if your device really is listed)
.. and then, run the actual command
developer.android.....is blocked. I googled untill 2 in the night and found a few local stored outdated version of SDK. One of them actually wanted to update itself, so I think I'm ok now
thanks again
Drivers for pc, and putting adb.exe and any file you want to send to the tab in tools directory are the two keys for success
Thanks to all, worked. I give you guys kudos via thank meter.
That was a good exchange of thought! XDA rocks!
Hi there! I just got my Nexus Player in the mail, and I am having trouble installing ES File Explorer on it. When I go to download it from Google Play via my laptop, it says that "this item is not compatible with your device". I've updated the nexus player to version 5.1, and looked all over the web for a solution, but to no avail. Has anyone ran into this problem before?
Thanks in advance
I'm having the same problem.

nothing from the Google Playstore via PC will install on nexus player. Does anyone have any idea why not?
Same issue here. It worked last week. Had to do a factory reset and now it is not compatible. Is there an alternate way of installing ES File Explorer or another file manager that is compatible.
I feel silly it took me this long to realize we can adb install apks .
Make sure you have unknown software checked to install
ADB debugging in dev options on
Download your .apk files for SideLoadLanucher.apk and ES File Manager.apk
HTML:
ES File manager: http://www.estrongs.com/download.html?id=1
SideLoad Launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-sideload-launcher-android-tv-t2914962
doesnt matter which OS you are on. Open your Bash terminal or CMD prompt and change directory to where you downloaded the files and install them via adb:
Code:
adb install /path/to/package
adb install ESwenjianliulanqi_223.apk
adb install SideloadLauncher-v1.05.apk
Should get a success message.

I too was able to install the sideloader via google play but i did a factory reset and then updated the factory image to 5.1.1 and then that option wasn’t available. Thats when I tried the adb install commands and was successful. Good luck.

This might be a silly question, but are you using ADB via a USB cable, or over wifi? I'm extremely green at all this and the learning curve is pretty steep

I was using ADB over USB.
If you are using a linux machine install ADB and Fastboot. YOu will be able to launch adb/fastboot from any location with your bash shell:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb && sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
If using Windows, its really easy to set up ADB/Fastboot in your environmental so you can adb/fastboot from any location in CMD if you havent already set that up use this and just YES to everything:

some extra tips
if you dont have adb then get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 no need to install the entire sdk just for adb and fastboot.
if u dont know how to open a cmd window then just open your start menu and either search cmd or click run and then type in cmd and hit enter.
to make your life a little easier if you shift right click inside the folder where you have the apks u are trying to install you should see open command window here. if you do that then you wont need to put the path in for the apk you can just do "adb install [app u want to install].apk" replace [app u want to install] with the name of the app, u must have .apk at the end. example abd install es.apk
you can enable usb debugging in the dev settings(to enable dev settings, Open Settings, about then click the build number 7 times. it should say u are now a dev)
when I hook it up to the computerall I need is the power cable and usb

Bluetooth Mouse
I finally got ES File Explorer installed by connecting a Bluetooth mouse to my NP and using the Google Search app (Blue 'G'). Just 'voice searched' for Es File Explorer and used the mouse to click on the Play Store search result. It installed right away, no issues like I was having when trying to install through Play Store on my PC..
It was extremely frustrating to have the app suddenly become incompatible from the usual Play Store method, but I'm happy this worked.
(I doubt it helped anything, but I set security to allow Unknown Sources).
i hope this help if u guys unable to use adb and stuff.
just go search air-share on your web browser (make sure ur log ur google account) and install air share on your nexus player and your android phone.
it should works fine
(since i'm a newbie.. i cant post any external url) lol
I just tried Air share and it works.. its a little fiddly to get it going but I shared the es file explorer from my phone to the nexus player and I was good to go.. then I shared the Kodi link and ES downloader took care of the file download and it installed
