Double check the spelling of the file directory with what you are typing in. I was typing in andiord and andriod. you need to have a semi colon separating the paths ";". Try those things.

I have avb working fine, but I am having trouble with the CHMOD, I run this command but nothing happens.

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

Do I have to replace or add something to that command?

Could you comment on the JDK part? Downloading it and installing it doesnt work. I try to install the Android SDK and it says that JDK is missing....

Tips?

Fixed:

In the Android SDK installer, when it says it doenst find JDK, press Back then Next again. It finds it.

Where exactly is the "current directory" on my computer? Lets say I want to push a .txt file from my computer to a folder on the root of my SD card called "textfiles", what would I enter in the command prompt?

EDIT: When I open the command prompt, it says "C:\User\Sam>". I understand that it is supposed to say this, but is this my current directory then? If I wanted to push a txt file could I put it in Users\Sam and then not have to specify a path?

... Can anyone help me out, I'm new to android and I did search for an answer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Thank you for the great guide. A little over a month ago when I got my first Android, I was scared and intimidated about even trying anything to do with ADB. Here it is a month later and I feel like a pro and can do anything using ADB and my phone. Thank you again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yes. Your "current directory" is shown in the command prompt. If you don't specify a full pathname (i.e. starting with "\"), then Windows will take the path/file specified from your current directory.

So usually you want to start a command prompt session (cmd), then change directory to whereever that file you want to push is stored, then push it. Or if you use its full pathname (i.e. starting with a "\") then it doesn't matter what your current directory is.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Gotcha, thanks for the help. I should be able to run this once I get my phone now. Nice guide!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonalexgalaxy:
ps. i'm kind of techy. if that makes sense.

okay so i'm trying to use ADB for the first time... i've done everything.. everything went according to the guide...everything is installed, phone is plugged in and seen by computer, 'usb debugging' is active in notifications bar, yet when i type in adb devices, it says:

List of devices attached

"

and then nothing.. like its not picking up my device, which is strange, cos its def connected with usb debug enabled.

Help?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
I notice in many guides and such that the specified directory is one where the adb program is. Does the directory have to be the folder where adb is? Or can it be a random folder where I put whatever files I want to be transferred. For example, enter in the command prompt "cd C:\Users\Sam\Documents\HTCDesireZ\RandomFolder", would that be fine?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
did you add the platform-tools path to your environment variables? as long as there is a path to adb here, you can cd to any path and adb will still function. let me know if you need some clarification on that if I haven't worded myself well. ;)

edit: also, you don't have to cd to the directory that you are going to be messing with. you can specify the exact path of the file that you are pushing (or the destination of where you want your pulled files to go) in the command itself... ie:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
wtf am i doing wrong?????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Yes, I believe I did do that when it told me to in the guide. To test it right now I changed the directory to a random folder, then typed adb devices and it runs as it should (without a device plugged in). So I'm guessing I added it to the environment variables. Perfect answer from you! Thanks for the help, I'm just getting everything set up before I receive my device... I'm so anxious! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
smart move. adb is so helpful, I rarely even mount the sd card to my pc anymore (unless I'm backing it up or whatever).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
ok, i gave up installing this on my windows 7 machine, now im moving to the xp machine. everything is installed and seems to be working except that my command prompt comes up with C:

Documents and Settings\Administrator

how do i get it to go to program files and to the sdk?

i followed the instructions in step 5 i believe to create the path required, and the path had to be added it wasnt even there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
if you added the folder where you set up adb/android sdk to your path in environment variables, you're done.

just type adb devices and make sure it is recognizing your device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
does nto work

i did this

* Reverse click on the shortcut which starts it—even those in the start menu

* Choose "properties"

* Change "start in" to where it should start. (C:\Program Files\Android\Android_sdk\)

* OK

and now it works.

So I don't know if I'm missing something but I tried to install the sdk and when I go into terminal (im on a mac) and navigate to the tools folder and try to run "android" i get a lengthy error message.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I don't have a Mac myself, so the help I can give you myself is limited. But of course there will be others here who have run this on a Mac themselves.

Is the "android" program there in the tools directory if you are in there and do an "ls" ? What error message are you getting exactly ?

yeah, the "android" program is in there and when I try to run it I get this:

ADB FAIL!?!

I already have a G2 perm rooted and s-off. Unfortunately I want to try out this new ROM posted here http://www.virtuousrom.com/, and i guess i need to change the hboot to the DZ format. I went to use my adb but its telling me its out of date. So i went ahead ad downloaded the new sdk. Now when I try to push anything i get.... error: device not found. ANYONE have anything to suggest? :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DressedUpPanda:
Ok forget the last thing I just posted. ADB works but it cant find my device. I am running on windows, using original cable that came with the phone, I have CM7 nightly running on my phone. I try and locate my device and I get, "adb server our of date. killing... *daemon started successfully* List of devices:" and my device isn't listed at all. PLEASE anyone have a theory of why it isn't there???

edit: Nevermind I figured out my problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
could someone give me a hand please i followed the guide but when i open the command promt the first line is always "C:\Users\download>" instead of the "C:\>" its meant to be.

Any ideas? . . btw the path to my sdk is C:\Users\download\Downloads\DZ\android-sdk_r11-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools, doubt thats a coincidence?

In step 4 where I'm supposed to change the name of the path, do I change it in user variables or system variables?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I added my new path for ADB under "System variables." I actually first added a brand new path to User variables and it worked, but then I realized that this tutorial (among others I read) directs us to PATH under the System variables. So I changed it accordingly and it seemed to work as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Can HTC Sync be uninstalled once the drivers are installed properly?

Thanks very much for the guide. I noticed that the HTC drivers are installed separately from the the Sync software. If everything is up & running smoothly, can I remove the Sync software? In the interest of conserving space, of course. Thank you, stevie.

Edit: Nevermind. I uninstalled Sync and the drivers remain. :)

Issue with adb and drivers

Hi guys,

I'm hoping that posting here will get me somewhere as this post is old.

So my gf's Bell DZ has stopped working for some reason. It wasn't rooted or S-off but one night she was reading a pdf and it froze. She then removed the battery and it restarted ok. She left it to charge over night and when she woke up, it was stuck on the HTC screen.

Now I'm trying to fix this semi-bricked phone that's just out of warranty (how convenient) but I can't seem to make my laptop recognize the phone in ADB.

!!!The phone is recognized in fastboot but not in adb!!! I have tried re-installing the drivers from the HTC sync software then tried using the drivers provided for another method (cant find the name of the driver but it is a driver made by another team that unzips into android-usb-driver). I tried the PadNet method but to no avail...

Can someone help me with this? Any extra step to do?

Thank you,

Steven
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
The phone needs to be booted and running or in fastboot for adb to work. So it sounds normal, in that if you put the phone into fastboot mode then adb can see it. So you have adb setup correctly by the sound of things.

If you can get into fastboot then have you tried running "fastboot oem boot" to see if it will boot properly ? If not, then since you can get into fastboot then you should also be able to go into recovery from hboot. This is more of a general recovery question than about adb though, so I recommend starting a new thread over in General or Q&A. The stock recovery gives you a red exclamation mark icon and you will need to press Power and Volume Up to proceed.

I was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to remove those links in the app drawer to those maps functions which include latitude, navigation, and places. I don't want to get rid of these features, I just want to get rid if the links to them that are in the app drawer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
If you're using LauncherPro, you can elect to hide apps from the drawer. Go to preferences>General Settings>Hidden Apps - from there you can select which ones you want hidden.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram100987:
Unfortunately I'm using touch wiz...i guess I'm one of the few that don't mind it.it's a modded version from the sXe rom, but still it doesn't have a hide function as fast as I know
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
So you're the one using touchwiz...I heard there was someone out there. haha

The only thing I can do to "help" you then is to plug LauncherPro. It's free (I haven't found a need for the paid version yet), and the customizability is second to none. What hooked me was the "swipe gesture action" for the dock icons. Look it up - you may be sold.

AND - back on topic - it'll solve your app hiding issues.

Good luck!
[G Tablet General] y2ktibltd:
I really appreciate all the work the devs here put into this device. Without you this would have been an instant return. That being said I can't let myself gamble beyond the 30 day return window with $400. My loss is your gain however as there is now a freshly clearanced gtablet at the Sears store in Chillicothe Ohio. Get it while its hot! I will continue to monitor this forum and I hope one day to see the source code get released for this device as it has a lot of potential. Best of luck to everyone and thank you devs.

Tomorrow Froyo for Legend ! : http://www.facebook.com/htcde/posts/123526287710679 (German HTC Facebook)

After that 2.2 comes to Wildfire or maybe also tomorrow ?

Any ideas?The phone is rooted,can it be the reason?:confused:

It says Froyo for Legend, i'm not sure though because that's what i read from Google Translate. Either way, i'm all pumped up. Hopefully, a Froyo for Wildfire tomorrow *fingers-crossed

[Wildfire General] esUK:
I'm no expert but won't downloading OTA updates remove root?
[Wildfire General] mayanks_098:
Might be they are settings things up.

P.S. FU HTC, I waited for your OTA very long, and then I rooted. Wish this was 2-4 months earlier. But you have your wealthier customers to focus on, we understand!

I really tried it that way! but nothing than just:

Installation aborted.

The only thing I've done with my Wildfire was to root it & to apply another kernel to overclock it.

PLEASE help me! =)
[Wildfire General] stelioz78:
yes i am using the overcocking kernel too.maybe if we flash again the original kernel?

Very good aspect!

I'll try it! but where can I find the original Kernel?

So is this update for all Wildfire phones including those sold in India? Because mine is still 1.14.720.1.

I have 1.37.405.1 since i bought my wildfire, around 2/3 weeks.
[Wildfire General] JumperJack:
Hello?

Would anybody be so nice and tell me, where I can find the stock ( original ) Wildfire Kernel? Because I can't update to 1.37... I think my HCDR.Kernel_v4.1_Flashable

Is the reason for it!

Greetz JumperJack
[Wildfire General] rommi0:
Did you try doing it via recovery mod? I haven't tried it myself as I am in the middle of downloading the update as we speak.

Edit 1: Couldn't find the update via recovery mod. Restoring my nandroid backup and installing the update.

Edit 2: Okay, after restoring my nandroid backup, the update didnt install and left me with a screen with the displaying the exclamation "!" mark. Trying to update via recovery mode does not work either (found the update in the "downloads" folder"). It says

Edit 3: Since the verification failed, I disabled the signature verification in recovery mod and installed the update and it worked. I'm not sure if I had do a nandroid restore in order to revert back to the original kernel, but I did it.

So basically, here's what I did:

1. Download the update.

2. Restart my phone and go into recovery mode.

3. Do a nandroid backup restore (I'm not sure, if this is necessary, but I was running Jacob's kernel in order to overclock my phone).

4. Restart and go back into recovery mode.

5. Disable the signature verification.

6. Install the update found in the "downloads" folder of the SD card.

Cheers!

Edit 4: Apparently the update has removed root privileges from my phone. I'm downloading the unrevoked root package and re-rooting my phone.

Edit 5: Successfully re-rooted my phone and everything seems to be working.

I hope this post helps out a lot of you!

[Wildfire General] nozdormu:
in your settings on your phone.
[Wildfire General] rommi0:
I'm not sure what went wrong for you. Could you explain what you did step-by-step, maybe we can find a solution for you.

Did you, for example, remove HTC Sync from the computer prior to the re-root attempt? When installed, HTC Sync is known to cause issues during the root process.

I've a Mac, no HTC Sync... I solved after running unrevoked for 5 time... then i've wiped out everything and installed CM... :D
[Wildfire General] bratski:
i cant download this rom from ota on my phone settings, it says firmware is already updated. my wildfire is rooted and running on wild puzzle 2.1 eclair v1.0.1, upon checking the firmware version its already 1.37.405.1, could this be the cause?
[Wildfire General] rommi0:
If your phone is already running on the updated firmware then there is no need to update. When bought, some phones had the update already installed.
[Wildfire General] matthew9812:
Damn it, now my wi-fi doesn't work :mad:

It says "Can't start wi-fi" and when I shut it down again "Can't stop wi-fi".

Meh, hope that it will work again in Froyo.. I don't use wifi a lot, so it's not such a big problem for me at the moment.
[Wildfire General] kennyhkw:
Right i'm trying the above procedure but got a bit lost.

See when you did a restore, did you restore a stock ROM? If so how do u do this? Its not clear if you did or didn't. I tried to flash the RUU 1.25.405.1 rom and it won't accept it. Either that or i'm doing it wrong.

I am currently running HCDR.Kernel_v4.1_Flashable and Unrevoked root.

Some clearer instructions would be helpful.

Cheers
