HOW-TO Fix **ADB is not recognized in the CMD**

​

Navigate to & Left_Click on Start >

Right_Click on Computer >

Left_Click on Advance System Settings >

Left_Click on Environment Variables >

Left_Click on New ( User Variables ) >

Variables Name: ADB ( Or anything you want )

Variables Value: ;C:\SDK\tools ( Just like this, This is the Path of my adb.exe )

You must put a ; in front of ;C:\ ( adb Path goes here / Variables Value: )

That's it.. You now have set up adb to work Global via cmd prompt on win7

~Eugene
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
That should help with a lot of the issues I see being posted, not only here but on many Threads. Simple path statement 101 :D
[HTC Sensation] Squalli:
Better: Chose "Path" in "Systemvariables" and put it at the end of this line, i.e. like this: ";C:\android\platform-tools;C:\android\tools". Because then it'll even work if u run the cmd as administrator, which won't work if you do it as described above. Atleast its been the way on my W7 Ultimate 64 ;)
[HTC Sensation] idephili:
Hi,

another way (and very useful for other reasons) is to change registry like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command Prompt]
@="open cmd here"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command Prompt\Command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"

Afterwards you are - by right-clicking the adb-folder - directly in the right folder.

Don´t know if you have to restart, i´m using it just a long time.

[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
or just put the tools folder and adb binarys in C:\Windows or C:\Widnows\System32 ;-)

done
[HTC Sensation] platinumandroid:
I know this is of topic but thanks Eugene for all of your contributions
[HTC Sensation] LoveistheGroove:
Eugene373, I am so happy you're devving on the Sensation! Thanks for the ADB how-to...it really helped! Will you continue to develop and make ROM's for this device?
[HTC Sensation] serialtoon:
Alternatively you can also copy the ADB and Fastboot.exe files over to System32 or SysWOW64 folders and they work fine as well. :-)
[HTC Sensation] pandorra:
as google shows up this thread here my two cents...

the mentioned methods don't work for me nor anyone else('s computer) running windows 7 professional 64 bit i know. here's what in fact works perfectly on any computer i tried it on:

copy the path to your adb.exe wherever it is, put a semicolon in front of the path and attach it to the existing entry in the PATH variable. no matter if you add it as an user oder system variable. last one is only to recommend as you're dealing with multiple users which all need to access adb via cmd

is there a way to convert the twrp file backup on my pc to get it back on to my phone to install the backup everytime i try to put it back on my phone via adb it errors out and im stuck at this point ive been at this for over 10 hours just trying to restore my backup i have the backup file on the pc and ive backed it up earlier but now it errors there has to be a way to get this backup back onto my phone in a way that it will recognize it and install it please help lol im familiar with custom roms and the like not a expert but i kinda know what im doing and ive loaded custom roms on many phones in the past with no issues but this one is proving to be a real pain using a note 4 n910t

for more info i was trying to install petbede's rom and i managed to get to the reboot stage and he states it could take anywhere from 7-10 mins on average for it to boot up but mine was going on 20 mins plus and was getting really hot so i pulled the plug and as long as ive been trying to do this in one sitting i just want my backup installed and to be done with it for a few days untill i can muster the courage to try it again but this time i will be backing up on a seperate sd card that i can just pop into the phone to restore from since the pc copy is not playing nice with me

I just recently noticed that my g2x plays songs perfectly through the music player without any distortion but if i apply a mp3 as a ringtone it becomes distorted when i receive calls. i know its not just the file because i have tried multiple songs. anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I've noticed the same thing. In fact, I have to lower the volume of my ringtone below maximum, or it is weird sounding. But when I play the same mp3 through Music player, I can be full volume without any distortion.

but sounds promising... (pun intended :p)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0shi:
Doesn't make a difference to ringtone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
And it doesn't seem to be a function of whether the speaker sucks or not...because when you play the same mp3 file through any media player, it sounds fine. But when a call is coming in at the same time that the mp3 is being played, it's distorted. It's almost as if the phone is using all of it's resources for the phone call, and only allocating a fraction of what it would normally allow to play the mp3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0shi:
I think you are on to something here. I'm surprised there is no fix to this problem yet. Does it not bother everyone else?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0shi:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] VD34N:
Have you found any fix for this, guys?

This phone is REALLY getting annoying... BSOD everytime, distorted ringtone, slow loading and freezes... Duh, wish I waited more and took the SGS2...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Anyone know if it's just mp3's as ringtones that are affected? How about ogg's? If noone else has tried, I"ll try later on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VD34N:
I've just tried MP3s at the moment with DSP Manager but that doesn't anyway affect the ringtone (it still sounds lower than the music player).

It's something about software, it isn't absolutely a hardware problem since it sounds great on the music player even with max equalizer settings..

EDIT: It tried a classic opera song found on the phone and it sounds good, but not perfect. However I'm not a classic music lover. :D

This is my current ringtone starting at 1.01: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr4wq41VcaU

It's one songs that I have with least bass on it but it stills sound distorted... Damn it..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe-retired:
If I use custom made ringtones, I get a fade in effect. I did not edit that effect into the ringtone, but I notice that it takes my custom ringtones 5-10 seconds to reach full volume. Also, the overall volume seems lower when "ringing" han if I play the ringtone through a music player and the music player does not have the fade-in effect that "ringing" produces. I do not notice any distortion (but I have age related hearing loss) other than the fade in effect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
I just installed DSP manager and I just started noticing that. You guys have to be right it is a software issue. ringtones must be louder I dont know maybee if we make them on the computer and lower the volume of them when we record them I dont know.

~Eugene
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
or you can just open up command prompt and cd^ (adb folder location)
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
or copy the exe and the needed dll's to system32

however when i type adb it better just work regardless of what folder I'm in...

If you are running .bat & a Noob it will never work.... Just follow the Directs posted in OP
[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
Thanks OP for the tip.

This is the easiest way to start adb.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
OK, so I don't know what I did wrong but I named the variable name to adb and then the variable value ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which is where my adb.exe is located. But if I open up a command prompt and do adb devices it says:

C:\Users\Tiffany>adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

If I cd to that location adb works but I thought it would be cool to just open a command prompt and be able to use adb but it's not working for me. Any suggestions or do u see anything wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
Tiffany, try this from a cmd prompt:

path = %path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

then adb should work regardless of where you are in cmd
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
AHH, You are awesome. That worked. So should I delete that variable that I added or just leave it there?

Edit: Ok. So it works when I add that path but if I close that prompt and then reopen and try to use adb with out adding that path again I get the error. So do I have to do that every time I open the command prompt?
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
No you shouldn't have to if you open the cmd window with admin rights and set the path=. Run cmd as administrator or use the posts above and edit the path variable and add a ; to the end of it and then the path to platform-tools

either way should work

and if you get that to stick you won't need the other variable you added before
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Ok, so I ran the cmd prompt as admin and it still won't stick. So your saying I need to add ; before C: and at the end of it? Sorry. Not the greatest with pc's. Thanks for trying to help though.
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
whatever is in your path variable, leave that and just add this to the end:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
I named it adb and then the blank spot for the value I just copied and pasted what u had and still nothing. I give up. I guess stuff isn't meant to be easy for me. Story of my life. Thank u so much for trying to help.
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
I was referring to updating the system path. Where you created the variable, underneath that should be the "System variables" section. Scroll down in that the the variable "path" and double click it. Move the cursor to the end of the line entry and paste in the ;C:\...etc... line from above
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank u for not giving up on me even though I had. That did it. I"M giving u all my thanks for the day. Thank u again. I really appreciate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] RyteSyde:
it's no root but glad I could help :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Definitely not root but hey, still pretty cool.

Thread moved to General as not development, thanks for sharing though :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Dave2582:
I always wanted to know how to set adb so you can use it anywhere. Editing the path in the system variable worked for me. Thanks RyteSyde.
[HTC EVO 3D] Molikai1988:
The right way to avoid weird issues.... [Noob Proof sorry in advance]

It actually works perfect if you just do the following:

1. Right Click My Computer -> Properties

2. On the left pane, Find and Click "Advanced system settings"

3. Under the "Advanced" Tab Find and Click "Environment Variables..."

4. In the box for "User variables for [your name here; e.g. David]" there will be a button that says "New..." Click it.

5. Now you have a box in front of you with two fields:

1. Variable name: entering path here is really safer and can help to avoid clogging up the environment namespaces (cluttering your ram/registry)

Path

2. Variable value: directory containing the adb.exe you want to use**; i.e.

C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools

**to find this with ease search for "adb.exe" or look for it in "...sdk\platform-tools\" or "sdk\tools".

**This is a version dependent thing for the Android SDK which folder its in.

6. Click OK on all the dialogs and exit the windows we opened here.

7. Hit the windows key + R and type cmd.exe; hit Enter

8. Type adb into the newly opened cmd window. hit Enter

9. If adb runs all is well. Your DONE. If not continue to step 10.

--If it work stop here!--

10. At this point we are going to select our entry from step 5. (in Environment variables...)and delete it. Otherwise windows has two pointers to our adb.exe.

11. Navigate in the "System variables" box and scroll down until you see Path in the Variable Column. Select it and Click "Edit..."

12. Click inside "Variable value:" go to the very end of this and drop a ";" no spaces. Enter the value from Step 5.2

13. Click OK/Apply on all dialogs and reboot your PC.

14. Repeat steps 7-9 and if all is well your done. If not you may need to redownload the AndroidSDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html then repeat this guide.

The reason for first trying to do this under "User" as opposed to "System" is if you need to track your changes to Path in case anything goes wrong as it can be a daunting task to go through the System version (its really full of stuff that needs to be there XD )

But don't take my word for it: My path

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static

and my Windows is brand new Store-bought not OEM. It tends get get bigger the more stuff windows needs to globally keep track of that doesn't live in C:\Windows\

Hope this helped!
[HTC EVO 3D] Grandkai:
I could really use some help I have a windows vista 32-bit

The first time I tried to set up adb I messed up bad and deleted my original environment variable path

so now I can't even do it because I need my original environment variable path then ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

I didn't create a system restore point so I am screwed is there anyway I can recover my original environment variable path?:eek:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashton555:
I apologize if this has been covered in another thread but I have been doing multiple searches on XDA and in google trying to find a solution but so far no luck. Long time reader of XDA but first time poster.

Details -

I successfully used NVFLASH, loaded Clockworkmod 0.8 and loaded Vega-Ntab gingerbread edition (stable RC1 I believe its called). I have been running this for a month or so with no major issues but I want to test out Vega-Ntab 5.1 and Brilliant Corners. Thinking of going with 5.1 for the hardware acceleration for gaming etc. Oh I also received my new Gtab with bootloader 1.2 and I downgraded that to 1.1 successfully before loading Vega-Ntab gingerbread. I think I can handle loading the new roms etc (may have to switch to 1.2 for Brilliant Corners I believe) but I want to do a full backup before doing so with clockworkmod so I can go back to gingerbread if I decide I liked it the best. But clockworkmod will not do a backup for me. I have tried multiple times and it always freezes/hangs at the same point. On the screen I see

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8

SD card space free: 9697MB

Backing up boot...

Backing up recovery...

Backing up system... and here it will go no further

I have let it set at that point for hours but nothing changes. I checked the clockworkmod backup folder and it has a folder dated the current date of the backup but the contents is only boot.img and recovery.img and nothing else so I think that confirms it really isnt completing the backup.

I am unsure what the cause or solution to this is. I thought about reloading clockworkmod 0.8 but I don't think I can do this since it's already loaded. I thought about loading a newer version but from what I have read gingerbread and the other 1.1 roms will not work with anything but 0.8. I could just do a melt and repour and just go back to stock level and load 5.1 or Brilliant Corners but then I lose any apps I have loaded. I am not concerned about the majority of them but I have loaded a couple good ones as of late from Amazon that were the free app of the day and I am unsure whether I can "reload" these at a later date without being forced to pay. I have also paid for a couple games but I am assuming I can reload those without issue. I did back up all of the apps I paid for and amazon games that I loaded that I got for free (normally have to pay) with titanium backup. So assuming I can restore these with titanium backup after loading brilliant corners or vegan 5.1 then I guess the only thing that I lose by not being able to do a full backup/restore with clockwork is that if I want to go back to gingerbread then I have to start from scratch for reloading the rom.

So is the problem I am having running the back up successfully a known issue that I just can't seem to find a discussion thread about?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
