[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah you're up and running now. If you typed adb devices or adb usb and got it to list your phones serial # then it's connected and running.

As far as adb commands, you can type adb help to get a list of some and they're pretty easy. Some of them are:

adb push <path\to\file> <where\to\push> - copies files to your phone

adb pull <path\to\file> <where\to\put\it> - copies files from the phone to your computer

adb remount - remounts your device

adb reboot - self explanatory

adb install <path\to\file> - self explanatory

adb start-server - starts adb service

adb kill-server - kills adb process (I always type this in when I'm done, sometimes it doesn't terminate and causes issues)

adb shell <linux type command> - runs command in the device shell

adb shell [enter] - operates in the devices shell until you type {exit}

Once you enter the shell you can type {su} to enter superuser. All commands in the shell are in linux format so if you're unfamiliar with that then do some reading.

HERE is a link that should help with adb also.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captmack007:
Thanks for the great info... Now I'm standing at the gate (maybe the precipice..lol)

As far as completing the pathway...

I found (through excrutiating trial and error) the Vista path for step 4 on that tut.

So under "Environment Variables" there are two editable windows, and the bottom with the "Path" that the tut says to edit says to ad the path to the tools folder and the platform folders...

The question is, when I double click to edit the Path line,(C:\Program Files\JavaFX-sdk1.3....) it changes to a different path (~1C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTSystem\

So am I to delete that line and ad a new path or ad to the Quicktime line..

ty
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The existing path was probably just too long to show up on the screen (so you saw the beginning of the line initially and the end of the line when you tried to edit it). Just add a semi-colon and then the path you want to add. You don't want to delete what you already have there since it might mess with other software installed on you computer.

So for example:

...C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTSystem\;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captmack007:
Quicktime and android are both separatefolders under program files... so....no.. that's not it. I don't even know why java showsthere... my sdk is in C:/Program Files/Android/sdk/tools...

p.s. how you do backslash on this keyboard....lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The path is simply a listing of directories separated by semi-colons. When executing a command, Windows will check the local directory you are in first for the program, and then parse through the directories listed in your path. This is why this step is even needed (it allows you to run adb.exe from any directory instead of always having to change to the tools directory). This is also why I said it's not a good idea to simply delete what is already there. You just want to add the tools directory where adb.exe is located to the existing listing.

So in your case, the end of the path variable will look like this:

...C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\tools

Alternatively, you could stick it in the beginning of the path (so double-click to edit the variable, hit Home to go to the beginning, and add the directory there with a semi-colon). It should look like this in your case:

C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\tools;C:\Program Files\JavaFX-sdk1.3...

And there is no backslash on the G2 hardware keyboard (as you noticed), but you can access it by hitting the Alt key and then space to pull up a dialog box of additional symbols.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerott:
Word of advice to anyone reading this:

When adding the adb to your path make sure and don't put a space after the the semicolan. When I set mine up I spent 4 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working, and it was the stupid space lol.

I haven't looked at the wiki since I did it back in October so maybe they've updated it to be clearer but just want to throw it out there.

anyone help please!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmo1:
Hi Matt. I'm pretty sure you're not bricked, but you are at a point that might give you a little difficulty getting into download mode. Try the following:

Download Mode

You don't need to be at a "phone> ! <computer" screen to do this either, though you might need to try it a few times.

If you have the Android SDK installed you can type:

adb reboot download

To have it switch to download mode. If you don't have the Android SDK installed you can search the forums for directions or I'll post back later with how to install it.

Another option, of course, would be to create a jig or buying one pre-made. I don't believe you're at this point yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
If those methods don't work...

Pull your Sim Card, Battery, and any External SDCard

Turn on Odin

Plug your Phone back into the USB Cable (battery out still)

While holding down the Volume +/- Button - put your battery back in.

It should go into DOWNLOAD MODE.

If you get the Gray Battery Charge screen - it didnt work. Rinse and Repeat until it goes into the DOWNLOAD MODE. Might take a few tries.

How would it help? My phone turns on itself once i put the battery in..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I watched your video - thanks for posting it :)

Ok - I have never seen that happen before. But... unfortunately I think your phone truly is bricked.

I mean it looks like it isn't getting past the "boot loader" (sorry not a dev so the technical term might be a little different.) to even allow you to get to a recovery mode.

So unless MikeyMike or some other dev has some way for you to re-write the sbl.bin file to allow your phone to boot - it's pooched :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt0323:
so not even a jig would fix this?!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Doesn't appear so - It won't get past the AT&T screen... does your computer even recognize the phone when it's plugged in?

I don't think it is booting up enough for you to get to the recovery menus... so sounds like the sbl.bin is corrupted - which unfort is a true brick.

But you could try the Jig as it is pretty inexpensive. Post here to let us know if it worked or not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt0323:
the usb doesn't read the phone when it is plugged in. It says unable to read, malfunction. but it does charge. weird thing is it still say its charging when i pull the usb out
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
lol thats just a residual electricity in the phone that is still being discharged after you unplug it... kinda like static electricity and a light bulb.

But.. I would still try the jig as a last ditch effort - it is possible that it would work... :p

You are correct about it being a radio problem. You have a .51 radio instead of the required .50 as explained in the Energy thread.

There is an "All in one" zip that has the: stock rom, .pit, the computer driver (from samsung) and odin all zipped up together. Find that and then the froyo that doesn't brick and you will have a complete repair package.
