Hey great job. Everything was really easy but I did end up getting stuck.

I'm in the adb shell but when i try to type anything in it says adb not found

I'm trying to install auto rotate and when I enter adb remount i get the not found.
[G1 Android Development] apfroggy0408:
I'm getting the exact same thing.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
That means you did it right.
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
when you are typing adb remount do you have a "#" sign or no??? on windows it should look like this:

C:\Documents and Settings> adb remount

or in linux:

user@user-laptop:~$ adb remount

if it looks like this it's wrong and you need to type exit then the adb remount

# adb remount

error: device not found

Thing is, my phone is usb-bricked and my sd card isn't detectable, but I need it in order to flash some files from it via terminal emulator. So the guide says that I need to run a specific command when the phone is in fastboot mode, connected via usb. Everything so far is done, except that when I type adb shell command it says device is not found. Has anyone tried, can you enter in adb shell while you are in fastboot and connected via usb?

Btw, when I am in fastboot and connect the usb, the red text changes from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB, so the usb is the definetly conected.

[G1 Android Development] Spin Dr Wolf:
Gah. I can't get adb running, i keep getting the message below whenever i try any adb command.

" 'adb' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. "

I have no idea where its going wrong though, i have the USD drivers installed got the SDK kit unzipped on the drive too, using the commands in the right place. Anyone got any ideas ?

I'm using Vista sadly if that makes any difference ?
[G1 Android Development] :
I'm in my IRC channel (info in sig) if anyone needs help getting it setup :D
[G1 Android Development] Spin Dr Wolf:
I've got it running now, seems i had to update the SDk through the manager and the the adb tool was in the platform-tools folder, i've even managed to pull off the widget locker apk too.
[G1 Android Development] the gladiator:
I went through all the steps needed to run correctly adb (I receive a correct answer to the command "adb devices") but then I'm not able to run a "find" command (I have a rooted phone) as I receive a "find: not found" answer.

Could you please suggest me which are the correct sequence of commands I should input ?
[G1 Android Development] x10christian:
HI! I understand you reading this part:

Section 3: Running ADB from Command Prompt

Running Command Prompt:

Windows XP: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select "Run" and type "CMD" then hit "Enter".

Windows Vista/Win7: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select the search box on the left and type "cmd" then hit "Enter".

- Also, Mikey1022 has reminded me to add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows...

To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista) then select Environment Variables.

Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:

Variable: adb

Value: C:\android-sdk-windows-x.x_rx\tools "x = version you are using"

The Value is WRONG!!! It has changed. It should be C:\android-sdk-windows-x.x_rx\

platform-tools\

Dont forget to thank me :-D

My PC quarantined it straightaway.

[G1 Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
There are no infections attached to my app. I have had dropbox check it again and once more, they have stated that it is a safe file.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but since moving my guide to my site on the 8th of this month I have had 15,000 downloads of my file and you are the first complaint.

I can only assume this is a false positive as I have tried 3 different AV apps and nothing shows up when running a scan.

[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Hey guys sure its been mentioned before .

Quick way to start adb ..

1. Navigate to the platform tools folder in Android Sdk folder on your hard drive

2. Press and hold the shift key ( do not click on anything )

3. Now left click and select "Open command prompt here"

4. Adb Remount ..should see the message "Remount Suceeded"

5. Now you can run your adb commands

Pretty sure someone posted in this thread already but thought i would refresh it again :)

[Q] I have used UDB on a coupe different ROM's since rooted, mainly to take screen shots. Now, after I have downloaded a theme to my handset, my device will not conntect to ADB. I can't exactly tell what is going on, but the log says an app is terminating the connection in an unusual way. I can't really tell much more than that, and actually the DOS like cmd window that is open simultaneously with the console doesn't even expand the whole way horizontally so I can read the whole log entry....can a THEME do this? I am a noob but somewhat of a proficient one...still digging....but throwing the question out there in hopes that someone can help me can help me a little. One of my next tasks with this Android saga was to dig more deeply into adb...but I need to connect first :-o... someone can help me more quickly than me just pounding this out from scratch. Device and ROM in the sig. Thanks in advance....I suppose I can nandroid back to my ROM before this theme,,,but dang I kind of like it and want to know if the theme could possibly do this before I do....the other significant apps I've downloaded since last know good ADB connect is Root Explorer just tonight and the free app from Amazon today Executive Assistant,,,,both paid apps with high ratings.....and this theme I just yanked off the thread for this rom....

guys i have an issue! maybe i am a dummy but i'm very new to adb and trying to install it. do i need to have my phone plugged in before installing this. my phone is stuck in phone-!-computer screen and i can't get out of it. i'm running windows 7/64 bit. i installed the program withou the phone plugged in and followed directions to the tee. got to device manager and i do not see any adb notification at all. my screen doesn't look like the one in the tutorial. please help. no button fixes work for my phone,can't use odin, nothing to get into download mode. i work offshore and i left my jig at home. i would like to fix my phone before i drive home so if something goes wrong i won't be stuck without communication. btw, when i get to device manager the only thing that has a yellow triangle beside it is something labeled pcouffin! any help would be appreciated guys.

[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
ok lol i dont know what a cappy is... but you need the device plugged in, than on your computer go to device manager and look for anything that you think is your android device, than right click it and click install/update drivers... one or the other... than just direct the install to the folder with drivers in it and should work, than you can use adb.... im not sure if thats what your question was lol sorry

[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
uhhh i was going to ask if you enabled usb debugging on newer rom but than i read the end of your post lol so i have no idea either...
[G1 Android Development] g3ismeee:
dude! I said with much knashing and wailing of teeth...I learned adb stock android to do screen shots and I do have some unix/linux background....one thing....one rom was sense 3.0 and working one was 2.1...the only difference....and I wasn't the ONLY one to report non ADB connnectivity on the particular un-named ROM....regardless...what I said fixed it did....actually had to do it again after an update on the otherwise buttery smooth ROM....I dunno reinstall sdk worked....one thing I will do is grind things to the bitter end :D
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
haha so thats always an option to fix adb, if all else fails... reinstall the sdk haha
[G1 Android Development] g3ismeee:

OMG. But the tutorial is real lame. Impossible to undertand. I don't mention that making PDF file which is all dark, blurred and hardly readable... .txt would be much better for everyone here.

Links are broken, unzipping takes time to perform cause of some weird archive (many complaints here).

Then the steps. Tutorial says - plug the phone and install driver. Yeah but it doesn't work cause system says it cannot find driver in the directory "C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver", and next directory - i386 - doesn't open up i n device manager at all. Then reading this thread I find posts like "you have to install sdk driver PRIOR to connecting device". Is that in tutorial? No!!! It says opposite - connect and install. And how to install that SDK by itself?

The manual is terrible. Writing such "manuals" after which people get tons of questions... It actually sucks. People can brick their phones, after all. Just because author doesn't care to be coherent.

Badly done and badly explained. I wish someone here wrote another, normal manual...

Anyway. Guys, if anyone can help me with that driver installation. It's my first phone connection, update notification popped up but now I cannot specify the way of driver. It's not found in C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver, and other folders are grey so I cannot choose them. Seems that nothing got installed by default cause there's still a question mark in device manager but what to do from now?..

Thanks.

P.S. I'm on Win XP SP3, Xperia Acro 1s11s (Japanese model). The device name that pops up in my device manager now is SEMC HSUSB Device, under "other devices"

Will appreciate any help. It's just this "tutorial"... really made me mad...
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Probably you would like to have a look here
[G1 Android Development] Shinkoku:
Thanks for a fast reply!

Unfortunately, link didn't give much... I read it all, downloaded some files (actually, I guess it was same to what I already had), , changed variables, but thing is same - I can't install the driver still (by the way, it's called usb driver or adb driver? I meet them both here, is it same thing). As I said, when I try to show system a path to drivers everything is gray except "C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver" folder - but that folder gives an error (tried different downloads, btw... there are few of them here, with same files)

I wonder about this expression in the link above -

"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"

Well I got notification about new hardware, but it also didn't say anything about ADB. Is this word necessary?
[G1 Android Development] R^7Z:
In reference to ADB (Android Debug Bridge); I found THIS link helpful.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
If your phone is recognized by your PC, everything should be fine. Unfortunately I am not such a Windows expert, but if you open a command window (cmd) and change directory to where you have installed your adb executable (adb.exe I guess), and enter the following:

adb devices

you should get a list of devices recognized, i.e. there should be on e entry with the id of your phone. If this works, also the other adb commands will work.
[G1 Android Development] Shinkoku:
Thanks, I'll give it a try...

However, I'm just curious why I cannot get acess to the driver folder (i386). I read the thread, found some updated drivers (tutorial is too old), but still same thing - the i386 folder is gray and I cannot choose when I try to install drivers

Anyone knows what could that be??

..and seems my device got connected to PC somehow... they say here it should be avoided, but I have no idea how/when it happened. My Xperia showed that it is connected to the PC via USB, multimedia something mode. Is that the root of evil?

I didn't press/cancel anything after connecting...
