[myTouch 4G General] Mistic99:
OK, This is scattered all over the place but I am new to android myself and understand. Was up all night doing various things but also got this up and running.

ADB Quick install steps. I can't post links yet, so I had to remove direct links. Sorry.

1. Download Andriod SDK. Do a Google search for Android SDK and it will be the first link. I used the exe but others may have used the zip. This will be based on exe.

2. Download Java JDK, do a google search for Java JDK and it will be the first link. Choose the JDK from the first option. *NOTE* 64 Bit windows users, you will need to install the 32bit JDK for the Andriod SDK to install properly.

3. Install Java 32bit (I am running windows 64bit, I have the 64bit SDK installed also, but I did that first and found that I needed the 32bit as I stated in step 2)

4. Install Android SDK - Note the location it's installed in. (This is the default from the exe - 64bit Windows should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android and 32bit C:\Program Files\Android)

5. Launch SDK Manager and install all available packages. (Start - All Programs - Android SDK Tools - SDK Manager)

6. In SDK Manager choose Available Packages, expand Third Party Add-ons then Google Inc then Google USB Driver package, Revision 4. Click Install Selected then accept the license and i should install to "\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver" under the folder from step 4. *NOTE* if you get access denied error, run SDK Manager as admin.

7. Browse to the folder with the USB driver and edit android_winusb.inf with Notepad++ (Notepad works also) and add the below text to the sections labeled [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]. (Lines 46 then 70 using Notepad++)

;T-Mobile myTouch4G

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96&MI_01

;

8. Right click My Computer and go to Properties. Windows 7 and Vista users should now go click Advanced system settings on the Right. Windows XP users click the Advanced tab. Click Environmental Variables. In the bottom box scroll down and highlight path, click edit and add to the end of that string - ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools *NOTE* the semi colon before C:, do not forget it. Also edit that string for 32bit system to path name in step 4. Click OK, OK and close the window.

9. Turn on USB Debugging on your MT4G by going to Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging

10. Connect your phone. Go to device manager and look for ADB Device which should not install properly (ignore all prompts from the system saying driver did not install properly).

11. Right click the ADB device and select properties. Click the driver tab and select update driver. Click Browse computer then select usb driver folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver\ and again remember step 4). Restart Phone...

12. Run command prompt - start - cmd. run your ADB commands. In this case adb dmesg > dmesg.txt

and as stated in a prior post by the person who posted this command, the dmesg.txt file will be located where ever you ran the adb command from.

Cheers - and give me some thanks....
