When I get to this step

"On your computer select Start, then run, type in CMD

Once in the Command Prompt enter cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

The next line should pop up C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>

Now test adb by typing in adb"

It tells me "The system cannot find the path specified"

Can anyone help me.

all of my drivers are installed for my phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
You need to locate the SDK and rename it. It should be on your C drive in the program files folder and the android sub folder.

Once you have located the folder I believe is named android-sdk-windows right click on it and rename it to AndroidSDK.

Then open up a new window in My Computer on Windows XP or Computer on Windows 7.

Open the C drive and then drag the renamed AndroidSDK file over to the root of the C drive.(not in any folder)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Ok. I deleted everything and I am going to try over.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
OK.. When I'm first trying to install it do I install it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows. That is the defualt place it wants me to install it to. (I am on Windows 7)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
I've updated the original post with some more specific instructions for Windows 7.

I had to reboot my computer before I could move the SDK to the C drive and rename it.

The first time I entered the command prompt adb wouldn't work, but I closed it out and the second time it worked flawlessly.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
Ok thanks BrandoKc. Coming from windows mobile it would of tooken me a while to figure this adb stuff I out. I have a question??? I just finished rooting... if I hard reset does this break the root???
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
That will work! Once installed there and updated rename it to AndroidSDK and move it to the root of the C drive. You may need to reboot your computer before it allows you to edit the folder.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
By hard reset I assume you mean factory reset. It may but you can re root if it does.

I'm glad to have helped. I know when I rooted my Hero I nearly shatted a bricked Hero.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
UGH! Now my SDK manager is not working. It pops up then goes away and I can keep it up. This is happening on this step "Once you have installed it open it from the start menu". I'm probably going to wait until the morning or somebody makes a video on how to do this because I'm getting frustrated.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Koolkid come to the IRC so we can help you
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
I sent you a PM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
Lol. As from my language... You can tell I come from windows mobile, in those forums we refered a factory reset as a hard reset and a soft reset as a battery pull
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Once we have a recovery you will definitely be able to wipe/hard reset/factory reset without losing root.

I would imagine at this point you should be able to without losing root also.

Left WinMo when the G1 came out and haven't looked back. Enjoy Android!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
Thanks man. & I can surely say I won't be looking back either! And I can confirm you will loose root after a factory reset. I have just tried.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] James.Q.Campbell:
error: device not found

Ok, I installed z4 and Visionary, and finally got temp root with Visionary.

I know I have it because I have the Superuser icon and I can access Titanium without any error messages.

I d/led the SDK with the pack I need, copied it to C: and renamed it, and went into the Environment and edited the path value.

I can bring up adb and run adb and have it display the options from the command line as well.

However, when I type "adb shell" all I get is:

error: device not found.

I've doubled checked that I'm in charge only. I've switched USB ports, turned debugging on and off... what am I doing wrong?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Close out the command prompt and restart it. I used to have the same problem on my Hero.

Let me know if that helps.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
Will you have any plans making guides for recovery and ROMs?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
I hadn't thought of it, but if I can make life easier for a few folks I will.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
+1 for that man. it would defenitly make mine a whole lot easier. New users like me would really appreciate it.

And I was wondering if your phone gets really hot quick during a charge after perm root?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
If I don't make guides you can PM me any time you need help. I have a lot to learn and there's been a lot of others on here that have slowly brought me along.

I love this place.

Usually if I am charging it while still doing a lot on it I noticed it does, but that was the same before.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] James.Q.Campbell:
That doesn't help. It still gives me a device not found error.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] James.Q.Campbell:
Still doesn't work. :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
I appreciate it man. Just sent you a pm!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Sounds like you have driver sadness. I would either reinstall HTC Sync or go here to get the android usb driver for windows.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Xodium:
Just wondering, has anyone else had trouble getting adb remount to work? Because it refuses to work for me. I've had to do do this command:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system

In adb shell in order to get anything to work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
Here is the link to the files I used that the sdk wasn't necessary. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808103

I didn't use the scripts or apk's, just the packaged up adb versions.

UPDATE

Throw these into the folder with adb so you can flash recovery. All your tools will be in one place.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jahovah:
Ok I'm stuck. I'm running visionary on the phone and did temp root which i'm assuming it worked cause I have superuser in my apps. But now what because when I attempt to remove anything its not highlighted for me to remove so now what????
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
su: permission denied

After I type "adb shell" and hit enter a $ sign shows up then I type "SU" and it says

SU

SU: permission denied

$

What am I doing wrong?

Sprint HTC Evo Shift 4g with Windows 7 and using visionary.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Is your phone plugged in and in debugging mode? Are you rooted?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
i believe so. I click on visionary and it resets the device. then i replug it into my computer and make sure debugging is on and charge only is on and i still get the "permission denied" prompt
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
But you are rooted correctly yes? Superuser permissions is installed and correctly working on your phone?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
is "superuser" the same thing? that is the app i downloaded from the market
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Nmott93:
I'm stuck at "busybox md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_eng.nb0" in bnice's instructions. It keeps telling me it doesn't exist. I have Busybox installed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Go to settings, applications, manage applications, select superuser and uninstall.

Rerun Visionary to temp root.

When you type SU in the command prompt you must allow superuser permission on your phone, so make sure you click allow on the phone right after entering SU.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
First guy

There's gonna be a pop up on the phone asking for root rights. Keep it's screen on and unlocked.

Second guy

The phone needs to be in charge only, debugging on, and the two files to md5sum need to be in a folder in the sd card called "Shift"

Visionary problems

When you hit temp root, if the screen goes black and stays black, hit the top power key to turn off screen. Turn screen back on and try again. When it's done, it should go back to the visionary screen. If you hit the back key once and it takes you back to the home screen, it took. If it refreshes and goes back to the visionary screen, it didn't take. Do again. When you can get back to the home screen with a single touch of the back screen, it temp rooted correctly
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Also you can verify you are temp rooted by opening a root only program like shoot me, titanium backup, root explorer, etc...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
is visionary supposed to reset my phone after i hit temp root?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
No, it sounds like you still have superuser installed when running. Make sure you don't have "run on startup" checked either.

Let's start completely over. Uninstall superuser, reboot, rerun Visionary.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
in "md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_orig.bin" what does the md5sum mean?

I have the files on my sdcard in a "Shift" folder. but i dont see the md5sum words any where?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
That is correct
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
not to sound completely dumb but what do i do next? i am confused by bcnices post?

Thank you guys very much for taking your time to help me!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
First verify you are rooted with Visionary

Next gain su permissions and enter the adb shell

Then copy BCNice's commands and past them.

Paste the first one and hit enter.

Verify the result matches the one in his post.

Copy and paste the 2nd command and hit enter.

Verify the result matches the one in his post.

If everything matches move to Step 4 in his instructions.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
At step 6 on bcnice's post

"put the phone into airplane mode

temp root with visionary

after your temp rooted then attempt to perm root with visionary (haven't tested perm root with z4 yet)

your phone will reboot and you are now officially perm rooted any changes you make will now stick on reboot"

when i pick "temproot now" in visionary it restarts my phone. should it do that? or should i try visionary again?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
I would, uninstall superuser first. Then run temp root, then perm root, then profit
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Did you get it?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] markli:
BrandoKC Thank you so much for all your help! I finally got it to work!!!!

Now I need to find what apps are good to get for this and also how to delete unwanted sprint apps that came with the phone.

Thank you again!!!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] geekdaddy:
Can't seem to gain SU access.

First I tried installing Visionary. Selected temp root and everything seemed ok. Entered adb shell and typed SU, got the pop-up msg on the Shift and approved it and gained access ("permission denied" in ADB).

Later in the day, connected to adb shell again and could not gain access. Installed superuser program. Didn't help me. Tried several temp roots, reboots, etc. and still couldn't gain access.

Uninstalled visionary and tried Z4boot. Same situation. Can't get past "permission denied" when I attempt SU.

Any suggestions???
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
Which adb are you using? Sdk, the ones I posted? I was getting permission denied and no device until I said f it and dug up an old adb that worked in the past. Then I didn't have any no device problems. I copy paste from nice's post into the adb command line and everything went fine. Sdk was being such a frustration for me so I tried something different.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] geekdaddy:
Figured it out... Problem occurred because I'd type "su" in adb shell, get no request on my phone, and have access denied.

About an hour later, I turned-on my phone and found a superuser request waiting for me. Not sure why it took so long but there it was. Once I selected "allow" on the phone everything was ok.

This is something that has been covered several times in this forum and others. My problem was the delayed request on the phone. Hope this helps someone -- give your phone some time to request superuser access...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bign94:
im having trouble with this whole process i have no idea what im doing wrong. After im in CMD and type adb it give me this long message and doesnt start adb. I dont think i have the driver installed correctly but im not sure im reinstalling htc sync now and hope that works.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Long message is good, next step is to type

adb shell

you should be greated with

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bign94:
Now im getting the SU permission denied and im waiting for it to respond to see if its the delayed request that is spoken of above. i am temp rooted and have turn debugging off and back on. Can anyone offer any help?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
If you're still having trouble with this I would go ahead and uninstall Superuser, Visionary, then reboot.

Reinstall Visionary, run temp root, and start over with adb from there.

It sounds like Superuser is not granting permission for some reason.

If you want to verify Superuser took open an app that requires root and make sure it prompts you to allow access.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bign94:
Im still having the same result.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] alher591:
Do you have usb debugging enabled and the charge only option when you connect to your pc?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jiveterky:
I was denied access when i typed SU in upper case. Changed to su in lower case and immediatly recieved a prompt on my phone.

Oops! OP has been corrected. Thanks for pointing that out!

HTC sync not working

ok so i finally made the jump from my G1 and came to the Evo Shift. i was gonna get the G2 but HTC sence is really good. so my question is or more like problem is that im trying to get my phone perm. rooted but i cant seem to get htc sync going. its installed in my pc and i downloded the lates version but some how when i pick htc syn it tells me that it isnt installed in my pc. soi dont know if i got a bad phone or my drivers didnt install? can anybody give me any solutions to this problem? thanks in advance
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
All we're concerned with is being able to connect the phone to the pc, so don't worry about starting HTC Sync. Just connect the phone to the PC and make sure that there are drivers present. You should be prompter on the computer once it recognizes the phone.

If it's not working I would then uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] ss4luis2000:
ok reinstalled htc sync and no go. but my pc does recognize my phone and the drivers are present. maybe cause im on stupid vista? but anyhow what would my next step be? is it download z4root? or can you just point me out to the right section.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Go ahead and temp root with visionary. If superuser is installed uninstall first. Then follow the first post.

su permission denied

alright so I've already done this all before on my own EVO Shift. But now I am trying to root a friend of mines who has the new Sprint 2.3 update (just adding that in because I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not). Anyways I get through everything temp root and all that stuff I do the adb shell command and then I type in su and I get a permission denied with nothing popping up on the phone? Any help? Anyone else having this problem?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
You're friend's out of luck unless he can trade it for a 2.2 Shift or come up with a new root method. 2.3 is currently only temp rootable.

Now here is the good news, I am going to still be able to continue my barebones builds because I was donated a Mogul to dev with that through HARET. This will allow me to make it even faster than it was before because the Mogul has half the ram that our kaisers do. I am purchasing a new phone because I need a GSM phone and the Mogul is CDMA.

If you remove the battery and reinsert it, then

if you press camera button and power on do you enter the SPL colored bootloader?

Ifso, you can try to flash a new radio.

if you press the green phone after battery reinsert and power on, then you enter the OEMSBL. (only green led and no booting) but then you can talk to your device with the moteq drivers thru MTTY...
