[Guide] Setting up ADB [Windows]

This guide was originally written by ante0 on VillainROM.co.uk. For the original click here. Due to some people having issues accessing VillainROM's website I have asked ante0 to give me permission to post the guide here. He happily obliged so thanks go to ante0 for this guide!
All I have done to it is change the layout and remove any unnecessary text.
Tools needed:
Android SDK
HTC Sync 3.0.5387 - get the latest if this is old
WinRAR - to extract Android's SDK files
Patience and time
1. Getting ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
ADB is a part of android's SDK. It can be obtained here. Please get the latest Windows version.
Next we need to "install" it.
This is done by simply extracting it to your hard drive:
Install WinRar, then right click on the zip file and choose "extract to".
I chose C:\ as the folder in the zip is named "android-sdk-windows", so you can find the files in C:\android-sdk-windows
After that is done we are now done with the "installing" part.
2. Setting up environment variables - access adb from outside of \android-sdk-windows\tools directory in a command prompt
Now that we have extracted all files we need to set up Windows environment variables to make our lives easier.
I always do this, because it saves you having to cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools every time you load a cmd prompt.
Windows XP:
Right click on "My computer" and select "Properties"
Click on the "Advanced" tab in the box that appears, looks like the pic below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click on the button named "Environment Variables".
Now, double click on the text entry named "Path" in the lower list box
At the end of it, add ";C:\android-sdk-windows\Tools"
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Click on OK to exit out of the dialog, then OK again to get out of My computer's properties. After you reboot your computer you'll have it set up.
Windows 7/Vista:
Right click on "Computer" and select "Properties"
In the System window that appears click on "Advanced System settings" located in the left list
Click on the Advanced tab in the box that appears, then on the "environment variables" button.
Double click on "Path" located in the lower list box.
At the end of it, add ";C:\android-sdk-windows\Tools"
(";" is required at the start so windows knows it's a new entry.)
Now click on OK, then OK again to exit. Restart and all will be set up.
3. Making sure USB works
(original guide linked to my old driver guide - here are new details)
Install the very latest version of HTC Sync - 3.0.5387 is the latest at time of writing but get the latest if this is old
This should install the correct drivers regardless of whether you're on 64-bit, 32-bit, Vista, 7 or XP.
4. Using ADB
(unedited)
I won't list all commands you can use here. I will only list some examples...
Remember to plug your phone in your usb cable (I've forgotten sometimes... lol)
Start by opening a command prompt.
This is done by opening up the startmenu then click on "Run..." (Alternative way: Windowskey + R).
In the "Run..." box, enter "cmd" without quotes.
If you have some knowledge of using a cmd prompt you don't need to read the next part.
To navigate you mainly use the commands CD and DIR.
Here's an image of what it looks like
C:\Documents and settings\jwork> tells you what your current working folder is.
To get out of it, use the command "cd ..".
This will go back one folder, so your new location will be C:\Documents and settings>
One more "cd .." will take you to C:\.
Now, lets say you have a folder named Images in C:\. To enter it you use "cd Images".
If you want to list all files in that folder, enter the command "dir".
Now you might have a image named image01.jpg in that folder, that you want to get to your phone.
Use the command adb push image01.jpg /sdcard/
It should notify you now if the push was successful.
You can check if the image is on your sdcard by using the command "adb shell ls /sdcard/".
That should conclude this guide...
One more thing, if you just enter "adb" it will show a list of all commands with descriptions.
Any questions? Just post here.

Hi
i really need some help here. whenever i type adb into the command box , i get "adb" is not recognised as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file. But i have alrdy installed the ADB by extracting it to a folder.
Right now im trying to install a custom rom and im stuck at accessing the recovery page pls help meee

Sounds like you haven't successfully added adb to your DOS path. Re-read section 2 again and make sure you followed the instructions correctly.

Great guide man, very nice work

That's awesome!!! It's a nice tutorial for the newbies! And it benefits me, I reli like it!!
Thx!!!

I had the same problem because the path was incorrect. I found the adb command in
Code:
android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/
rather than in
Code:
android-sdk-windows/tools/

hi,
thanks for the explanation both for you and ante0 but can you reload the link if possible becaue i cannot download the file for the first step? it gives error

No matter what I do. I always get the "adb" is not recognised as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file. What am I doing wrong?

Google has recently changed where adb can be found in the sdk. Just un-zip it anywhere i recommend the C drive, so it should look like this C:\android-sdk-windows\
Then browse to this folder and launch 'SDK Manager'
Open the window 'Choose packages to install' (it should open automatically first time) and choose to install the 'Android SDK Platform-tools, revision *'
To set the variable paths, do as in the first post and add these variable strings (assuming you unzipped it to C:\android-sdk-windows\ if not just modify it so it matches where you unzipped it to
Code:
;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Then you're good to go!

After doing all the above stated i still can't execute any commands. I typed "adb devices" and it just says the devices that are linked but it doesn't give me a serial number.

Sent from my Hero using Tapatalk

I have tried to restart the computer, sign in and out, install SDK again and again, changed the PATH in Enviromentor variables ... but still refuses ADB to work!
I typed "C: \ android-sdk-windows \-platform tools," in the PATH box and restarted the computer. Then I typed "adb" in CMD, but it is all the time: "'adb' Is Not Recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. "
Is crazy! What is the problem?
BTW, I have installed the driver for my phone and selected "USB debugging".

You've typed the path wrong. Delete the path you've already put in it and copy this one
Code:
;C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/;C:/android-sdk-windows/tools/;

I think you are using wrong format, \ instead of /
For me I used "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\;"
in order to make it work"....ignore quotes.
Yet when I try to do the push command with some files
it gives me error: devise not found
anyone have clue?!
Thanks

This guide is rock solid! Thanks

mm realy need to learn to use adb been flashing my hero for over a year now and still dont know how adb works

i now get adbd cannot run in production builds

thanks alot

once i get adb all set up and it works fine - can i uninstall HTC sync and HTC driver? will adb still work?

[HOW TO]Unlocking method for "file not found" problem

Before we start, ROOT access, along with the "usb debugging" to be enabled on your phone for this unlock to be successful. Your phone must be connected to the computer.
UPDATE:One-click unlock for PC & MAC Created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761751
The first step requires ADB which is a console that comes with the Android SDK, and is located in the C:\ Drive.
You can create a easy script to access adb by creating a text file and copying the following information:
Code:
@echo off
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\Tools
adb devices
pause
adb shell
NOTE: The android sdk must be in the C:\ drive for the script to work, and you can rename the "android-sdk-windows" to something else if you have an alternate name for your android sdk folder.
name the script ADB, and rename the .txt extension to .bat (enable view hidden file extensions in folder options) and run it for quick, and easy access to adb.
Now that problem is solved, lets get on to extracting the actual file from the internal sd card, to your computer for the purpose of extracting the unlock code.
Run adb.bat to open up adb, or any other method you might use and you should see a cmd promt with A list of the devices attached along with your device.
Press any key, and you should see a $ -----> type "su" (without the quotation marks) and press [ENTER]. If your device has already granted "su" or Superuser permissions to your desktop adb console, then you should see a # now you type
the following:
cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin
press [ENTER] and you should see a repetition of the command you just typed with the difference being that the "#" is not before it, but under it.
You have successfully transferred the file to your internal sd card!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now to transferring the file that we will obtain the unlock code, to the computer to extract said code.
On your phone (while still connected to the computer) you must mount the USB storage to extract the file off the internal SD card, (to do this drag the notification bar down while connected, and click the "usb connected" button, which will prompt a pop up for "Mount" and "Don't Mount", we'll be mounting the sd card to extract the file)
now check "my computer" and look for the storage disk of the internal sd card for your phone (not the external!)
then move the "nv_data.bin" file to your C:\ drive
Now you need to download the "sgux.exe" unlock code finder, you can find it at the following:
http://www.mediafire.com/?js8dgn3nic5asb0 or http://www.multiupload.com/2IAYWWGF8A
after downloading the file from either mirror (the media fire one is zipped, which means you need to extract it) you need to move the sgux.exe file to your C:\
Now onto the last step:Obtaining the Code!
after having both the sgux.exe, and nv_data.bin file in the C:\ drive
Run your command promt (run>cmd or if you have a "windows key" press the windows key+r) in the command prompt type "cd C:\" (without the quotation marks) then sgux.exe nv_data.bin and voila the proccess should generate your own 8-digit unlock code!!
Now give yourself a pat on the back for your hard work ;P
HOW TO LOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY S - FOR WARRANTY AND ALTERNATIVE "UNLOCK"
After you get the NCK code using the method above, enter: *7465625*638*#
There will be a pop-up box.
Complete the first field (MCC/MNC) with the network you want your phone locked to (eg. 226 10 where 226 = romania; 10 = orange etc.) and the second field (Control Key) with the NCK extracted from the .bin file.
Press OK and your phone should relock.
This method can also be used in the case where the universal unlock code doesn't work, this is done by "locking the device to the carrier+sim" so someone who uses Rogers in Canada, would use the NETWORK "MCC" for their Country (302) and MNC for the carrier (720) so you use 302 720 with the instructions above to lock the phone to Rogers in Canada, thus allowing you to use the sim card. This is a "unlock" in terms that you can use it with another carrier, but not a "universal" unlock that can be used with any carrier without the hassle of repeating the above method.
Here are the MCC/MNC country codes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
HOW TO UNLOCK AFTER PLACING DIFFERENT SIM
After inserting new sim, you should be prompted to enter unlock code, if not then to unlock your phone just use the code: #7465625*638*# and enter your NCK in the pop-up box. Press OK. Phone should get unlocked .

NOTE: Below I have attached the "adb.bat script, and the sgux.exe" files in zips, for those who want to download it directly from here.

I have flashed to JM5 and with Samset 1.9f, It comes pre-rooted but does not have a terminal emulator yet and Id like to give this a try on my locked Galaxy S, but Im not familiar with how to get ADB for my computer.. maybe you can add the steps or post another link for ADB ?

I've included all the instruction for running ADB , but in that case make sure you have the android sdk installed
You can download it at the following:
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
Extract the zip, and then just follow my instructions in my original post.
I've also included a script to run it directly, it's attached in the first post and is called "adb.zip" that has the adb.bat script inside.

UPDATE:
You can also use the original method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7776555&postcount=1
but instead of the adb code in there which is the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak
the above is the original method, but for some adb consoles there's a VITAL step missing!
the actual dev directory.
So below is the fix for the first method to work (use this)
Code:
adb shell
cd /dev/block
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak

In my case (along with others) it wouldn't recognize and direct to the directory automatically, causing the creation of the nv_data.bin method.
The simple fix was directing adb to that directory XD

ok sounds good. I found the nv_data.bin method by tracing where bml3 was being mounted. It turns out bml3 is mounted at /efs .... that is probably why you need su to copy bml3 because it is in use.

guys, could you please explain how to sim unlock but with some easier methods
these ADB and so on just have eaten my brains
spent 3 hours and 0 result
using mac os + windows 7 as virtual machine

Check out the original thread here. I updated it with an automatic script to generate the code.

It Worked.............great................Thank you so much.......

thansk for this!

Instructions worked perfectly ... got my code!
Now just have to find a foreign SIM to complete the job ...
Thanks to all that made this possible. AT&T was being a real PITA about unlocking.

2) Then, open a terminal (ctrl+alt+T) and type the following command in order to start you freshly created emulator with a bigger /system partition so we can push the su & busybox binaries :
Code:
emulator -avd yourNewAvdName -partition-size 256 -no-snapshot-load
Wait for the emulator to boot.
3) Now, cd to the directory where you put the binaries and the apk you downloaded in the prerequisities, and issue the following comands in your terminal :
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/busybox
4) Enjoy your Rooted emulator
However, you might need to go through these steps every time you start this emulator, to avoid this hassle, here's a script containing those commands : rootavd.sh
Simply put it where you put the binaries, cd to this location and enter the following command to execute it :
Code:
bash rootavd.sh

...since many thanked you apparently it worked to many but why didn't it to me?

Why's this so? I've tried many similar guides, and it makes sense for this to work but it always shows the above (permision denied) and there's absolutely no other way to test applications that require root, for better or worse :/
Obviously I've followed the step it's not that it is hard to do so gave the right permissions but still no root?
Sth's on with the chmod commands?
Thanks for the guide and attention...
PS: It probably doesn't work in JellyBean'd AVD? :/

Yeah, I believe it's been patched in jellybean.
However, you can use Jar of Beans, which is a community-built pre-rooted jb emulator.
Sadly it seems to be windows only. I'll post a guide if I manage to run it on linux through WINE

I know this is a little old of a post but i wanted to point out that i noticed a lot of people (when i was searching for a solution) having a hard time trying to get,
emulator -avd youravdhere -partition-size 256 -no-snapshot-load, to work correctly or not popup at all.
After a little research i noticed that you should add
./emulator to the first part instead of just "emulator"
hope this helps anyone. (credits goes to another person on another site i take no credit just spreading the knowledge)

You don't necessarily need that. As far as I know the only situation in which you might need this is on a Linux system. (Not sure about Mac)
And even in this case it depends. You can also add the tools directory to your PATH variable. Then you won't need it.
So not all people will need this but some definitely will. So thanks for that.

Guide: Simple sideload OTA update to KitKat

After seeing so many people get hung up on complicated guides to manually update to 4.4, I thought I'd write the simple guide during my next bout of insomnia. So, no sleep tonight for me means a new guide for you. It's very simple, with only four steps: 1) download the OTA update, 2) reboot into recovery, 3) prepare to sideload, and 4) sideload.
Preamble:
I use a Mac. My Nexus 7 2013 is WiFi only (flo). This guide is written from that perspective.
It's just as easy to do this from any computer you'd like (e.g. Linux, Mac, or Windows *see end of post*). The commands are exactly the same. The only difference is the way you install the android SDK (+/- USB drivers *see end of post*) and open a terminal or command prompt on your machine of choice. Learning this is simple and necessary for developing, hacking, rooting, unbricking on ANY ANDROID DEVICE.
Three things you need to have set up before starting
Other than being stock, the other items on this list are going to come in handy if you want to fully realize the potential of your nexus device, so take a minute and set it up if you haven't already.
1. NEXUS 7 2013, build number JSS15R, with STOCK ROM. The guide is written from the perspective of STOCK RECOVERY, but it's been done from TWRP (I swear to god). Yes, you can be any combination of rooted, unrooted, locked, unlocked, but if you're rooted, you should probably revert any changes you've made to system files before starting.
2. Up to date android platform tools from the SDK installed on your Mac:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Note: the only platform tool you need to sideload is adb.
3. USB debugging enabled on your Nexus 7:
Settings, About tablet, tap build number a bunch of times to enable developer options, back out to settings, developer options, check USB debugging
THE ACTUAL GUIDE:.
STEP 1 (DOWNLOAD):
This is the second hardest step in this guide. You have to download the OTA, not the factory image, so, on your Mac, download this file: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-razor-KRT16O-from-JSS15R.3a3951e8.zip
STEP 2 (REBOOT INTO RECOVERY):
a. Hold the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time to enter fastboot mode.
b. Find and select "Recovery Mode" using the volume and power buttons
STEP 3 (PREPARE TO SIDELOAD):
a. Connect your N7 to your Mac with a USB cord
b. While in recovery mode, hold the power button and tap the volume up button (this is the hardest part of the guide).
c. Select "apply update from ADB"
STEP 4 (SIDELOAD):
a. Open a terminal window on your Mac and type "adb devices". Terminal will identify your nexus 7.
b. Type "adb sideload ". Don't forget the space.
c. Open a finder window and find the file you downloaded in step 1. Drag and drop it to your terminal window. Press enter.
VICTORY!

I downloaded the SDK file for Mac and set up the Eclipse app. However I get a "Command Not Found" when I try to type into Terminal? I appreciate seeing instructions for a Mac; thank you.

Make sure you're connected with a microUSB. Type "adb devices" in terminal to verify that you're hooked up.

Also, be sure there's a space between the word sideload and the file name that shows up after you've dropped the zip onto the terminal window.

You can use Mini ADB and Fastboot Installer from xda too, just 2mb. I used it.

In theory the first time you execute an adb command during a session in terminal you'll get the following echo:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Then it will execute your initial command.
I've added an adb devices command to the guide so if anyone reports a problem, they'll already know if they've been able to communicate across the microUSB cord.

I downloaded everything again and even though I deleted a program that aoto unzipped files the both unzipped. I connected the tablet and tried "adb Devices" and still returned -bash: adb: command not found
I've been at this for several hours. Google might even beat me with their installation at this rate.

I believe you're missing a step or so when installing sdk. You likely need to edit your profile. I couldn't readily find it on the Google site, but here's an independent guide: http://m.androidauthority.com/how-to-install-android-sdk-software-development-kit-21137/. I expect the part your missing begins with step 4 under "Installing on Mac OS X; Installing the Android SDK"

Basically you need to tell terminal where to find the bits of the various SDK programs by editing your bash profile. This is how terminal knows what you mean when you ask it to execute an adb or fastboot command. Let me simplify from the androidauthority guide. It takes three lines of code.
Open up a terminal window and execute the following:
Step 1: This step lets you edit the profile that tells terminal where to find executable binary files
Type and press enter:
Code:
vi ~/.bash_profile
Step 2: The step actually edits said profile
Type but don't press enter:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:
Open a Finder window and find the folder "platform-tools" in the sdk folder (make sure you've put your sdk folder wherever you want it to live--if you move it later, terminal won't be able to find it). Drag and drop the folder on the terminal window. This time you DON'T want a space between the typed code and the file path.
Now press enter.
Step 3: This step saves your changes
Type and press enter:
Code:
source $HOME/.bash_profile
From now on, whenever you open a terminal window, you'll be able to use your sdk tools.

You're using a hyphen where you need a tilda.
You typed: vi -/.bash_profile
It should be: vi ~/.bash_profile
vi space tilda forward slash period bash underscore profile
It might help to copy and paste the code from my post directly into terminal.

ps you did follow this part?
"Cygwin installed to [c:\cygwin] with pv and util-linux from the repo (at the package selection screen search for pv then util-linux and click on Default to change it to Install)."
and you have to have the x86 version NOT the x64 version.

with pv and linux from the repo . i dont know what it means but in the package selection i've searched for pv and after that util linux but i had to install both debug,base and utils because every time i searched for pv and changed to install and after that searched util-linux and changed to install i had to notice that if i search pv again i will find it in "default" mode.
p.s my cygwin is x86 even the setup file is called like that.
oh and in one phrase of the guide i have sent you (the "improved" one):
19. Right-click on the RAW space and select Format... MAKE SURE to change the File system to FAT32. Set the Allocation unit size dropdown to 'Default.' MAKE SURE that the Perform a quick format checkbox is CHECKED. You do not want to overwrite the entire new drive with all zeroes (0's) and destroy your data. Quick Format means that it will only attempt to destroy the index for the drive by establishing a new index. Without this box checked the Windows operating system will write zeroes (0's) across the entire volume, potentially destroying your data. Select the OK button.
what is the point ? in the middle of the proccess i will have to format my NTFS drive and all the date i personally have in there will be lost.

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p10.raw manually by hand instead of permission denied it says pv command not found ,wierd.

Did you download pv and util-linux from WITHIN cygwin? You have to select it during the installation of cygwin.

in the search option i search for one of the packages , change from default to install.
when i search the second package [for example util linux,and the first one pv] i change the second package from default to install.
But,when i check if everything is alright by searching the first one again, i notice that it changed back to defualt! like i didnt change it to install a second before.
anyway,when i check in the folder, i see the files appear in there.
edit : in cygwin folder, i cant see a file called util-linux in it's bin folder,if it's okay.
okay i have fixed the misunderstanding with the cygwin search using a video.
okay, still $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p10.raw
bash: nc: command not found
bash: pv: command not found
in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwn20Udp5YA&feature=iv&src_vid=HomqBx0J0e8&annotation_id=annotation_583506
3:07 part of the video. sucks.

okay ,still $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p10.raw
bash: nc: command not found
bash: pv: command not found
in 3:07 part of the video

i navigated to samsung (my folder where the vhdtool is) in cygwin and then did the command ($ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p10.raw)
nc is at bin in cygwin where it should be . util-linux and pv are installed as it gave me their utils and debug to install in the cygwin search in the cygwin setup and all is fine.
im just stuck here and cant make any transfare..

Try to install it directly from the cygwin setup.
