Hi everyone
I made this guide to help people that dont understand what adb&fastbooy is and how to install them.
First you need to download this zip file --- http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/76832019/file.html
then download this guide that i made with instructions and pictures --- http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/74547920/file.html
Once you complete those 2 downloads open adb&fastboot installing.docx and follow the instructions...
Hope i made it easy to understand
cheers
which versions of adb and fastboot did you include in the zip?
are they old ones or taken from the tools-download of the latest sdk?
i ask cause the for some functions newest adb is needed and the date of the files in the zip says 2011-1-18...
thx & greetz,

At the moment my device running TF Stock NOT rooted 3.1,
I can install prime 1.6 ZIP using this mathod?
Quick guide to unbricking:
Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
(Windows only) Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip
Run download.sh (linux) or download.bat (windows)
(The quick guide from here http://androidroot.mobi/ )
At the moment I am in the stage where APX driver installed in WIN 7 and TF's screen shows black..so need to know what next :0
Thanks!
If the screen is black and APX is detected you would normally run the script after that. It's important you have the necessary rom files in that directory as well, otherwise is clears and theres nothing to boot there. It's in the guide and video, I'd check the video out if you need more help.
PS: This really should be in Q&A/General.

I would have to be an appropriate NVflash file that's unzipped in that directory. NVflash zip should contain *.img files that go in that directory.

I don't think Prime 1.6 is nvflash compatible yet.
Use the Prime 1.4 from here
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.4.tar.bz2
extract the content to the nvflash folder
Watch the video in this thread
http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?976-Nvflash-Unbricking-and-forever-root!
If done correctly you'll have Prime 1.4 and CWM recovery installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Prime 1.6
BTW, wrong section for posting question.
Learn to read pinned thread, you have 3 days too do so
Someone please help me.
I already ahve a Rooted DHD. With clock mod receovery installed et.c.
(running Android HD)
but if anyone can tell me, I want to switch to Cynagenmod, Looks more good.
One there Wiki page, When installing the ADB.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows
Im stucked at the 11 and afterwards. I did everything like it, nothing happend, Plugged in the Mobile with the USB bugging mode and did everything what i can.
But it's not working out, please somebody help.
On my computer the SDK didn't install to c:/ by default; it landed in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
You then have to change step 11 to:
In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools.

And 12 becomes:
The Google USB Driver package only supports select devices out-of-the-box, we will be downloading a modified file that should provide support for all CyanogenMod supported devices:
Download the modified driver inf file: Download
Unzip the file & inside you will see android_winusb.inf. Copy this file to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver\ replacing the "stock" android_winusb.inf.

I don't get it...why would you need to install Android SDK and ADB drivers to just go from ARHD to Cyanogenmod7?

No idea, boot into recovery, and wipe data then install from zip, and job done
Hey can you provide an update with how CM7 compares to ARHD 6 as I think i'm getting tired of ARHD. I keep finding little things in ARHD that annoy me but don't want to go through flashing again for no reason, yet

Did you install android sdk or just adb by itself?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
You know that ZIP files contain other files?
You know you can extract those files?
You know that there are different folders on disk?
You know that folders are in a tree-like structure?
You know where platform-tools folder sits under SDK folder?
You know how to move ZIP files where you need?
You know how to extract ZIP files in place?
Answer all these, and you'll know what to do.
If you don't know the answer to one or two specific questions - ask away.
If you don't know some of the answers and can't or don't want to look for them - please refrain from rooting. Rooting isn't just for fun, it gives you some powers over your phone that you need to know how to use - otherwise your phone will have a great potential to end up screwed.
Whoa alexriio!
You can find a lot of people here to help you but you will need to do 2 things first :
1- Please write complete sentence. It's so hard to read you; a lot of people will skip you post.
2- Read these tutorial :

[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo by Setherio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
My usual advice is :
1- Print all part of the tuto (tuto, downgrade to froyo, CM install...)
2- Read it carefully and come back here to ask questions
3- Prepare all file in distinctive folder (check all file with md5sum!)
4- Grab a coffee (or tea, or beer )
5- Attack!
Regards.

Need help downgrading mytouch
Greetings. I've got a mytouch 4g. I have followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. Excellent article. Every step works great. I have tried both the manual downgrade section and the fastboot downgrade section. Both methods appear successful. No error messages, etc... When the phone reboots it boots to a fresh 2.3.4. Im sure im skipping something simple. Any ideas greatly appreciated!
I had been using adb successfully, then it stopped working.
adb devices would only report no devices.
Finally I reviewed the runmefirst.bat from the rooting howto and noticed there is a check in there for
"%userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
This file needs to exist and it needs to contain the following
0x2080
Once I updated that ini file adb started working again.

I am having a problem with rooting my n7 recently I decided that I would flash back to stock clean wipe sd card and reroot, well it didnt work out that way, flashed back to stock without a problem, then rerooted ok, but then was prompted to install 4.2.1 from google, well I did and here I am cant get rerooted after installing update. I use wugs tool kit and has always worked on my GNex and until now my N7, any ideas anyone?
It seems to see ADB, but no Fastboot? very strange, could I need a fastboot file or something?
Yup, better not to use a toolkit.
Need adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the platform-tools folder of the android sdk and the proper drivers.
It is nice (but not neccesary) to add a path in enviromental variables so you don't have to have files in the same directory always.

Nice to see you around.
I cannot forget the tremendous help you and Frankdrey gave me to discover, learn, and use an Android system on my G1.
Without both guidance I would, maybe, use now a toolkit and learn nothing.
@gunner - anytime, I love to help, now you can help others as well! Nice to see ya in the n7 forum too!
@flb
Google search android sdk, download appropriate package for your pc.
Open sdk and download all the tools in it.
To add a path I need to know what platform you are in... actually let me know when the above is finished and what platform your pc is and ill give you the rest of the steps

adb for dummies.. http://www.mediafire.com/?qrjo6bi8ayblj1r
this includes everything that is needed so you dont need to grab the whole sdk. easy access to adb and to fastboot.

First of all thank you for the help, I'm currently running win7 64 bit. Ill check this post tomorrow and give it a try.
Sure thing, simms22 posted a nice link to just get the adb.exe and fastboot.exe, feel free to download those instead of the sdk as that is larger and you may or may not ever use a lot of the other stuff.

Thank you guys for you efforts, Ill try it today.
You can just copy and paste the fastboot and adb .exe and .dll into c:\Windows instead of adding a variable.
Fast and easy lol just like I like 'em
Success! Thanks guys. I think Ill stay rooted and skip unroot rerooting.
