[HTC Sensation] az5k:
Hi, I've been using my (now retired) HTC HD2 for a long time, and recently got a new HTC Sensation. I really enjoyed the Android O/S (on my new Sensation), from messing around with my HD2 I noticed there were quite a few builds based on what other phones were running - so my question is...

The tutorial, at the start of this thread - is this how I'd go about dumping what my Sensation is running and having a look at the files or whatever?

Android sdk help

I've heard android sdk mentioned many times but im not sure what does it do?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong about this, but instead of installing both Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version (32 & 64 bit) if we install the JDK (Java Development Kit) version it's the only version we need to install.

Java download page : Click here.

It's what I am doing and I never encounter a problem with that method.

In response of this :

For those who are having problem with their HTC Sync, have a try at this method to install the correspondent drivers the right way.

Windows 7

To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for the

first time:

- Download the correspondent drivers for your Windows 7 here.

- Extract them in a Folder and remember the path of this Folder.

- Connect your Android phone device to your computer's USB port.

- Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.

- Select Devices in the left pane.

- Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.

- Right-click the device name or My HTC and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

- Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.

- Click Browse and locate where you extracted the USB driver folder, and select : androidusb.inf

- Click Next to install the driver.

Or,

to upgrade

an existing Android USB driver on Windows 7 with the new driver:

- Download the correspondent drivers for your Windows 7 here.

- Extract them in a Folder and remember the path of this Folder.

- Connect your Android phone device to your computer's USB port.

- Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.

- Select Device Manager in the left pane of the Computer Management window.

- Locate and expand Android Phone in the right pane.

- Right-click Android Composite ADB Interface or My HTC and select Update Driver. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

- Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.

- Select Search for the best driver in these locations and

uncheck

Search removable media and

check

Include this location in the search.

- Click Browse and follow the path of your extracted USB drivers folder.

- Click Next to upgrade the driver.

- Reboot your computer and try HTC Sync.

Let us know if it worked for you.

Thanks for the guide!

I have followed the guide and everything is okay. Do not know if it is the right place but when tried to run the "ddms" file under the "AndroidSDK\tools" it returns with attached error, the last words on the error are "system could not find the mentioned file". I wanted to take screenshots from PC according to that guide. Is there any other method to do that without any problems? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] MarcusA78:
Thanks for the tutorial
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
revision 5 does not come up for me to install i only get platform tools 8 and tools 14 anoyone else?
[HTC Sensation] MLIGN:
Sorry this guide is a bit outdated. I hope it still works for some of you! I don't intend on updating the guide, the new Android SDK is about the same so knowing we all have brains we can figure out what needs to be done.

On another note I don't have a Sensation anymore. Since then I switched to Sprint (Company Phone) and now using the Samsung Epic 4G Touch. Saying this I don't know if the HTC Dev is working anymore.

I hope you can all still use this as a base to try and get it up and working for you!

Cheers!

very nice thread.
[HTC Sensation] codemarshank:
So followed this thread to the letter, yet anytime I try to do *anything* in ADB, I get "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" or "(comand): permission denied."

Whenever I type "adb shell" I get the "$" symbol. If I then try to execute "su", I get "su: permission denied" and nothing pops up on my device. If I just type "#", the prompt returns "#" but nothing else.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the SDK 3 times now. Any idea what's going on here?
[HTC Sensation] minahlepak:
As a noob... ^_^

Thank you so much for your help...this was a very helpful guide. I couldn't SuperCID my Sensation coz I didn't have HTC sync to help recognize my phone. :(

But now... with your superb help. I finally got to do it. THUMBSS UPPP!!!!! ^_^ ;):o:):cool::rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] minahlepak:
Maybe?

Are you rooted? Since it did say "su:permission denied". So I am assuming u are not a superuser. Sorry if it doesnt help. I am a noob to... =(

Are you sure that your phone is rooted?

I fear your phone is not rooted.

If so then root your phone first but be sure the risk of rooting a phone.

ADB Installation guide for OSX

Setting Up ADB on Mac OSX

Here's a simple little tutorial that I found over droidforum of how to get ADB up and running on on Mac OSX.

Setting up ADB on Mac OSX

1. Download the Android SDK for Mac OSX. Android_SDK_OSX

2. Extract the zip file to any destination on your Mac. *Remember its path!*

In the AndroidSDK folder, there will be a folder named “tools”. We will be adding this folder to the path on Mac OSX.

3. To do this click on Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.

4. Type in without quotations “cd ~/” Hit enter after every command for the n00bs.

5. Next, type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new bash or otherwise known path file.

6. Next, type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit. A TextEdit window will open, copy and past this into that window. Screenshot of TextEdit and Terminal with all commands

My example:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/your_user_name/Desktop/androidsdk/tools

What yours should look like:

export PATH=${PATH}:insert your path to the tools folder in your android sdk here

7. Next, go to file and save your changes to the text file and close the TextEdit window.

8. In the terminal window that is still open, type “. .bashrc” This command will save the changes once again you made to your .bash_profile file

10. ADB should be set up! On your Droid X navigate to Settings > Applications > Development > and make sure USB debugging is checked. To test if ADB works, connect your Droid X to your Mac via micro-USB cable and set it to charging only mode in the notification bar.

11. Open up terminal on your Mac and type in “adb devices” once again do not type the quotations. Your phone should be listed as a number below.

Hope this helps OSX users..

I am not taking any credit. The original thread was found in DroidForum

No device listed

First off, really nice Guide. :)

I did everything and it worked fine so far but now I'm encountering a problem.

When I enter adb devices, daemon starts but my device is not shown. I've aleady searched for a solution but couldn't find anything helpful.

Would be great if someone could help me. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
which phone do you use ? are you on windows?? did you install driver?? Is you device listed in device manager??
[HTC Sensation] Statixx91:
Sorry, was kinda stupid to ask without any information :/

I have the HTC Sensation and I use Windows 7. I have installed every driver and it is also listed in the device manager.

HTC Sync and everything else works well on my pc.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
HTC sync is troubling you. Go to task manager and kill htc sync. Then run adb.
[HTC Sensation] Statixx91:
I killed HTC Sync but it's still not working.

I also tried the whole guide on my laptop (win Vista 32bit) but it's the same problem. If I get the chance I'll try it out on another computer (win xp 32bit) tomorrow.

Thanks so far musarraf172 =)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
kill HTC sync

Then RUN

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

If it fails , then may be the HTC new driver causing the issue. I had no pain to setup adb on win7 32bit /64 bit and Ubuntu 10.10 / 11.04 /11.10 32bit .

Some guys got problem with new HTC driver. Try to use the old driver available on XDA.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
Nice tutorial but OP check out this tutorial, really just step 3. Adding the path makes it so you can enter adb commands from any directory which is nice for obvious reasons.

Also I needed JDK and not just standard Java.
[HTC Sensation] francis_cai:
realllly works ?
[HTC Sensation] pipz:
Thank you for your quick response.

I already paste this file PG58IMG.zip on the sd sard root folder. the android-info.txt inside that zip is modified with a value I get from CID getter. below is the CID and MID of my sensation xe phone

modelid: PG5813001

cidnum: HTC_044

can you help me to create the correct android-info.txt? it seems that some syntax is missing or with spaces.

Thank you very much in advance.....
[HTC Sensation] Statixx91:
This didn't work either but I managed to get a connection when I changed the connection type from charge only to htc sync and back =)

But now I've tried installing about 5 different ICS roms but I always end up in a bootloop. I already did a data and cache wipe but it didn't change anything :/

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems that there was a Problem with the Firmware version. After installing it again, everything went fine and I got my Sensation with Android 4.0 Sensless =)

Thx Musarraf172

As far as I recall, the fastboot executable has been moved from /tools to /platform-tools

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

Try enabling USB debugging on your phone at Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging. There should be a checkmark beside USB debugging. See if "adb devices" now works. :)

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

The guide is for setting up the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) on one's computer. :-) It is most useful to those who develop Android apps. It is also useful to non-developers of apps, especially the tools called adb and fastboot.

Before getting ICS on my Sensation XE, I've always wondered how ICS looked and felt like. I installed the SDK and ran an Android Virtual Device through the emulator. T'was uber cool. But, now I have ICS on my Sensation XE.
