I've been wanting to set up adb for a while, but just don't know how to do it. There are numerous guides, and each say different things generally. Things that hold me back from setting up are:

1) does it make a difference what guide I use if I'm already a root user? *Cause I am.

2) when I run cmd as administrator, I get C:\Windows\system32 instead of just C:\

3) I don't know whether my computer is 32 bit or 64 bit.

4) Which are the right files I need in order to do this?

Could someone please point me in the right direction? My computer runs windows vista.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Just put the sdk on your c drive and rename the sdk folder to android-sdk-windows

Now don't run cmd as administrator, just type this in standard command prompt.

cd c:/android-sdk-windows/tools

and you should be able to use adb. Make sure debugging is checked in settings on your phone. You will find it in manage apps/development.

If that doesn't work maybe this will help.

Also make sure that your tools folder has the adb.exe file in it or you are going to get a

"adb shell not recognized as an internal or external batch command" took me about 20 minutes of.retyping adb shell to figure it out haha..

The reason i say that is because if you have a fresh dl of SDK within the last.couple of weeks then the adb.exe file has been moved and is no longer in your tools folder.

As for the command prompt. Open cmd then type

Cd/

Will take you straight to your C: directory if your not sure where to go from there type "dir" then cd to whatever folder your sdk is in :)

or type "cd(space).." like "cd .." Then do it again however many times you need to until it backs you all the way down to the c:

Click start and right click on computer then click properties, it will tell you there if your 64 or 32 bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
Thanks guys for the help. Sorry, but I'm not sure where to get the sdk, is this it: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ?

Also, what drivers do I need to install on my phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
If you check that first link I posted above it has everything you're about to ask lol. Go to control panel on ur comp, navigate to system, and it will tell you if your machine is 32 or 64bit.

And yes that's the sdk. I'd download the first zip in the post and extract it to your c drive.

Moving adb to the /tools folder from /platform-tools will will Bork some other features of the sdk.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
lol sorry man what threw me off is the "installing drivers" thing. Ok, do I also need to download that installer file as well or do I just take the sdk and extract it to the C drive? I'm sorry for these noob questions, I just don't want to mess up anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
Don't worry about the questions. That's what we're here for. Yes, extract it to your C: drive. Adb is located in the platform-tools folder.

I have a tools folder and a platform folder.. I'm guessing I use the tools folder?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
1). It doesn't really matter what guide you use, just as long as they give you correct directions.

2) Press the windows key (between Ctrl & Alt) and type "cmd" then press enter. Then once you're in command prompt, just type "CD\"

3) Right click "My Computer" then go to properties. Look for system type, and it'll tell you whether you're 32-bit or 64-bit. I believe most people have 32-bit.

4) All you need is this file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
No, run the SDK Manager to get the platform-tools folder.

EDIT:

The SDK Manager is located in the folder that you extracted and probably renamed. For instance, mine is located here C:\AndroidSDK\SDK Manager.exe (If you can't locate it, let me know).

After you run the SDK Manager you only need the Android SDK platform-tools, revision 5 package

If adb is the only tool you are going to use in the SDK you don't have to worry about it. If you do ever use another tool and you get an error about adb not present in the /platform-tools folder you can always just move it back.

I believe that it is locked for US carriers; however, if you were to travel and use an international provider, you can place their SIM card and you should connect. The DInc2 is a world phone minus T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, etc. capabilities.

Hi guys, i have little problem. I have Droid Incredible 2 bought from USA, i want to activate it for my Vodafone CZ carrier, i want to buy some unlock code from the ebay but in the instructions there is "go to the settings" but i cant. After powering on i have message "problem with activation" and i only can make emergency calls. Where is the problem? Is here any way how to go tt the settings? Thank you for your help!

edit: so my phone is not activated with verizon, i tried to bypass the activation with cdma workshop but i cant change the number, does anyone know how to use it? :(

edit2: now its working, i can receive and make calls but i dont hear anything, is it problem with settings or something in cdma workshop or it could be a hardware problem only?

edit3: so its not hardware problem, i really dont know what to do :( please help anyone :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
how to bypass Verison activating in no coverage area

A lot of confusion here , the members reading that thread don't understand what it is for !

this is not for sim unlock , its for bypassing Verizon activation screen ( in Verizon no Coverage areas )

this thread is for how to manually reprogram the CDMA information using CDMA Workshop instead of Dialing *228 ( because there is no Verizon Service where they are ) , this is used until get back to Verizon Coverage

i don't know if it is permitted by Verizon to use that soft or not , so check with them first

Verizon Activation is required when the following happens :

doing a Master reset for a Stock Rom , ( Master reset when you are on Custom Rom will not cause that problem )

your phone was not activated in us before you go abroad

this problem occurs because of Stock Recovery

Stock Recovery Master reset clears all internal memory areas including CDMA Programming .

When you are rooted , Custom Recovery don't clear CDMA programming area when master reset

Some of the instructions in the Post are not very accurate , but this method reported working 100% by some users ,and here is some hints :

to install the Windows htcDiag driver you have to but the phone in Diagnostic mode ##3424# ,then connect to PC ,then go to device manager to see htcdiag

to install htcdiag driver ( htc modem ), in device manager choose to manually install then All hardware then have disk then browse to the driver folder

when you look for the com port number ( to be used with CDMA workshop ) ,don't look under com in device manager , you should look under modems \htc modem\ property \ advanced port settings . Note that Port could change every time you connect phone to PC ( otherwise you get CDMA workshop error if you choose wrong Com ).

You don't have to make area code 452 , any area code would work

on condition its a true existing Valid area code

( example 310 is ok )

in MIN1 and MIN2 ( 4 Values are to be changed and those 4 Values should be identical )

CDMA workshop is a Powerful soft , so be careful

hope that helps

Please hit thanks if you found that post useful to you

this code is to start diagnostic Driver mode which lets you connect to PC programs like CDMA workshop
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dr. Hax:
How exactly do lock codes work? I called Verizon for an unlock code, and was told you have to be in another country with their provider's SIM, then call them. Is this information accurate? How is it only Verizon can provide unlock codes for free? How do those unlock code services work? How do they get the codes?

ering if i could still used the same code to unlock a at&t sim card

ive got code but used it on verizon sim card wondering
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mistaweeks:
agreed

YES how do the unlock code services work? they need a phone specific imei # to generate the unlock key and then they email it to you for a fee....well i aint payin no fee and i wanna do it for free...cuz thats how it should be...i understand the last post in this thread was almost 4 years ago and things have definitely changed since then but i have the droid incredible 2 on verizon rooted, bootloader unlocked, on cm7 and i want to throw a straight talk sim in it and i am confronted with the same issues as in this post. ive read in a few places about people getting the unlock code by calling verizon, but its almost 2016 now and when i call verizon they have no idea how to get the sim network unlock code.....they said it should be either 000000 or 123456 but i tried that while on the phone with them and it did not work...i think they are talking about the puk codeanyways and just dont fully understand what i am asking

this is an old thread that was not even intended for this subject, but if anyopne sees this and has any idea how i can get the unlock code for htc droid incredible 2....please lemme know

thanks

Download an app that monitors what's eating all of your bandwidth. Odds are that it's some rogue app that you installed that just constantly trying to sync data. Are you watching a ton of youtube videos in HD or netflix movies? Both for long periods of time will zap your data.
[HTC Sensation] robotnoize:
Only one I've heard of is 3g watchdog. What ones tell you exactly what uses data? That would be awesome!
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I think that's it. It should also show you real quick what's hogging your data. FB and twitter feeds, as well as news widgets, weather widgets, and other widgets that need a live feed will all zap your data pretty fast. If you're using a ton of widgets you may want to change their sync settings to see if that makes a difference.

"Feature removed

What is the difference between ANDRD UNL Web vs this Unlimited data - 5 GB of high-speed data included??? Does that mean I only get 5GB of internet usage max per month as opposed to not having a cap before? Why would they have to change this if this phone is also an android?

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] slimshady322:
I have now updated the first post with the current features and the upcoming features from version 1.2.0.0.

This version is already done and I only have to do some testing and I still have to remove some code that will not make the final cut for version 1.2.0.0 (concerning video playback on the phone) and might be available in a later version.

Anyway, I have tested this week and I am confident that I will be able to release this version to MS still this weekend and then it will probably be available early next week.

I would also always like to hear feedback on the current version and also feature requests for future versions.

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] slimshady322:
I have again updated the first post with new screenshots of the upcoming version 1.2 which I have now made available to Microsoft for certification.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] slimshady322:
Version 1.2 has now been approved by Microsoft and is available on the Windows Phone Marketplace now. A link can be found at the bottom of the first post.

I am currently thinking about the next version and which features to include.

Currently, these features are under consideration:

- Playback of rendered clips (already working in my current beta build but not for all clips)

- More information about rank (cR needed to rank up, total cR, list of all ranks with cR requirements)

- Game history (list of recent games)

This is also the order in which I would like to make these features available.

Any thought on these features or other feature request would be appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] slimshady322:
I once again made some changes which I would like to share with you.

This version is not yet available on the marketplace and there are still many things I have to do.

However, I still wanted to share the attached screenshot of this built in progress.

As you can see I have moved the emblem to the rank page and I increased the emblem size and quality along with that.

This means that on the player page you can see your spartan without the emblem being in the way.

The Rank Page now also features the Primary Armor Color (in this case green).

Additional changes which you cannot see in this screenshots include:

- Settings are accessible from Medals, File Details and Video Details

- When a Commendation is at Onyx Max, the app will still show the current number instead of "> 20,000" (in the case of "Dome Inspector")

For Commendations I am also thinking about showing the amout of Credits a player gets (both for completing it once and for reaching a certain tier) and maybe the total amount of credits the player has received through this Commendation.

Again, feature requests and feedback would be welcome.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Peew971:
