noob help requires, Setting up phone for USB boot.

Hi guys.
Sorry for this noobish post, but i cannot remember for the life of me on how to install things by using 'adb' - i know there is an option on the phone, but where bouce is it? I used it when rooting, but i just cant find it.
I'm trying to install a new boot image, but when i go into cmd i type "adb remount" and the reply is "device not found"... AndroidSDK is in my C directory.
Another EDIT; I just rebooted my device into the recoverymode, and i didn't see ndroid back up thing, does that mean my phone hasn't actually been rooted... - But my phone is deffently debranded.
Thanks if anyone can help my noobish style.
Slim.

When in recovery mode you must have the driver installed. If you enter 'adb devices' it should give you the serial number of your device, if the driver is installed correctly.
To enter the recovery menu you must run the recovery-windows.bat from modaco if using windows or a similiar file (recovery-linux.sh, recovery-mac.sh) according to your operating system. The file should be run when in recovery-mode or else it returns a whole bunch of errors.

Awesome, thanks mate. Just what i needed! Could i have advice what driver i need to be able to acsess the adb?

I just use the driver supplied in the newest version of ADB.
You can get it here. usb_driver.rar
Or else just install HTC Sync from htc.com. It also has the driver files needed.
Remember to have USB Debuging enabled from the Programs/Development menu.

[Q] 4.5.2 Manual nooter and market via PC

I rooted 1.2.0 via manual nooter 4.5.2. Before I updated from my rooted 1.1 I could go to the android market on my PC and install apps from there. Once I manual rooted 1.2.0 with 4.5.2 I can no longer install market apps via the PC. The market shows I have no phone (4.5.2 was the update that had the samsung added). Does anyone know a cure for that? I can live with it, but it was nice to find and research apps via the pc and install from there. The market works fine from my nook, though. Thanks for any suggestions.

4.5.6 has the same problem and more
I have done the manual nooter process for my Nook (Stock 1.2) as described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
Even if the installation went well I have the following problems:
The installed Market does not contain very many of the apps I am interested in.
Installing from android market from my PC does not work. There is no device shown in the list when I press <install>.
Manual installs from an apk file has problems.
I downloaded <Android File Manager> with the market app. And tried to install 3 different downloaded apk files (one of them was Kindle). AFM asked if I wanted to install, but the only thing that seemed to happen was that the apk file was erased. I managed to install the third app which was an alternative keyboard. Even so, the keyboard did not become visible in <Choose Keyboard> in NookColorTools, even if it was listed under <manage applications> in NCT.
My last resort was to try a manual install from my PC with ADB. I installed “nookcolor-easyADB” on my PC (Windows XP). I enabled ADB in the settings on my Nook. But my PC was not able to detect the Nook when I plugged it in, except for the hard drives of course. I manually installed the driver. The installer said it was OK, but it did’t help. The driver did not turn up in the device list on my PC.
Does anyone have a clew

You did the market visibility workaround STEP BY STEP EXACTLY as described in the Manual Nooter OP?

Than you. The solution to the market problem was there. I just didn't notice. I followed the instructions and it worked.

[Q] Install Openvpn on Emulator

Hello friends,
I want to install openvpn in my emulator. I am developing an application that connects to openvpn using Eclipse, Android 2.3.3 API 10.
I tried many ways to install openvpn to my emulator, but I cannot access system folder. Even with OpenVPN Installer, I get the same.
Has anyone been successful installing it on emulator. I can mount emulator, explore/push files using eclipse but why can't I aceess the system folder. I get "Read Only", "Access Denied", etc such messages only.
Any help with this is highly appreciative. I am stuck at this stage since many days, but can't get any solution for this.
Thanks

Friends any help any guidance. I have found expoerts of this forum very active. Is this a Android version problem or what can be ??? Is anyone successful in installing openvpn or any software to emulator that needs t access /system ? If so what android version and model of emulator was used.

[beginner] A few questions about n00b Android DEV.

I just watched Adam Outler hello world tutorial and managed to setup Eclipse. I use Ubuntu 12.04.
A few questions sprung, though:
1. I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
2. Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
3. A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
4. I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
Please, help a the willing to learn

Hey deckoff, I'm new to Android Dev as well and I have setup the environment on a few machines.
Q: I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
A: Not sure, I'm using Windows with eclipse 3.6.2 I have installed it Ubuntu, but it was 3.7.2
Q: Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
A: I pretty sure it requires the JDK not just the runtime.
Q: A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
A: Yes, It was renamed to Android Application Project
Q: I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
A: Since your doing this on Ubuntu, your not suppose to have to install any special Drivers. Do you have "USB Debugging" Checked? I also have the option to allow "Unknown sources" - Allow installation of non-Market apps, checked.

Yes, it is - the very same settings on Desire HD and the apps works just fine, but on HTC one X does not. The name is not properly seen by the PC - it is just "???????"

Does adb recognize the one x? Try with adb devices if that doesn't work, just set up permissions for the device

Here is the log that I got when trying to connect :
Code:
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] ------------------------------
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Android Launch!
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] adb is running normally.

[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please select a target device.
This is straight out of Eclipse....
When I try to connect, I get a dialog, screenshot attached.
As I said, we are talking about unrooted, stock HTC one X, dev options enabled, sideloading enabled
I have not tried what you suggest yet, because:
1. I am not quite sure what does it exactly mean and how to do that ( I will read and probably find out, so thank you)
2. My laptop failed, so I had to go back to my 8 year old Thinkpad x40, and setup and redo everything again...
(SHAME ON YOU, LENOVO, 2 months old x220, which costs a fortune, powers on "sometimes", and recognizes it's HDD "sometimes"..)

I managed run the app on the One X as well, following this link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1890861
In general I had to stop adb and re-start it...
Anyway, two things still puzzle me:
1. Why rooted CNM Desire HD will not present any problems, and apparently will not require root adb, while One X will
2. Still, Eclipse will fire error messages, namely "Cannot monitor device"
3. Can I run adb in a mode so it will not require me to re-start adb in sudo ( So I dont have to stop and start sudo adb every time I re-start)

[Q] Sideloading apps from Mac

I can't find instructions on how to side load apps from OS X to my Nook Simple Touch. I rooted it using these instructions. I also installed NTGAppsAttack but it took me a while before I could log into Google and get it working. Now that it's working it doesn't seem to do much since I can't search the Google Market (probably because I can't side load apps).
First, I'm trying to install the Kindle App that I got from here. I downloaded the Android tools, but when I try to run ADB, it seems that the device isn't connected:
$ ./adb install ~/Downloads/Kindle_3.3.1.1.apk
error: device not found
- waiting for device -
I thought maybe I could load the .apk file in the Finder. There isn't enough room for me to load it onto the NookManager partition (only 8 MB free) so I put it in the My Files/Documents folder of the NOOK partition. However I can't seem to find that location using the ReLaunch app. It won't let me out of the sdcard directory.
I also tried launching ADB Konnect on the device and it tells me "Root Access Denied!"
Is it possible to install apps via SSH? I can't figure out how to get SSH running.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

No idea about Macs, but for USB you will have to modify ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Nook is not a "known" Android.
Code:
0x2080
If your root uses ADB over WiFi that would work too.
