need help rooting

trying to root 2.1 sprint hero, had the patched .6 version but redownloaded the .5 version on my phone, now says 2.27.651.5! Good right? Then I'm trying the regaw method for rooting. Downloaded the sdk, downloaded HTC Sync 2.0.33, downloaded hero-root. Renamed them to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, went to the command prompt and typed it in. Then I type in adb devices and I get an error: adb not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I've checked debugging, and still get same error. Deleted files and redownloaded everything again and STILL get same error. Any help would be much appreciated
make sure you cd to that directory, or you can click-n-drag adb.exe (adb-windows.exe in some cases) into your CMD promt and type your command after... Little work around for odd computer setups
EDIT - you could also try to append the ".exe" at the end, i.e. >adb.exe devices
Thanks, I gave it a try! Still nothing,
Did you run the setup or did you just download, extract, and then run straight to CMD? try running the setup, don't download anything if you don't want to, and then try again.
I must be an idiot, the folder size is 54.2 mb. I'm at a loss. I will continue trying!!!!
Ok, total noob here! I've been at this for a while now and still can not get adb devices to recognize my phone. Device manager says everything working properly, drivers installed properly. I have searched and searched for an answer and still I can"t find one. Is there something I am doing wrong or have I not set up. All I want to do is root my phone, any answers would be a godsend.

How to install apk's?

Totally new to android, anyone mind explaining?
the command is "adb install <path/name of apk>".
do it from your computer in a shell/terminal.
Do I have to mess with the NDK at al? I thought I saw something on that...
Bump, more info please?
NDK? Did you mean SDK (android for windows developer kit), If so yes. Download and install. Follow the link below for drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751
Once SDK and drivers are installed, connect the NC. open command prompt (start menu, run, CMD), type adb devices
You should get a return back of some numbers and DEVICE. This means SDK and drivers were installed correctly. Once ADB (SDK) is installed correctly follow this thread.

Even though I installed the JDK 6u23, the Android SDK installer won't let me install because it doesn't see the JDK installed...
I used the same 623 package, installed that, then reboot, then install the SDK. BTW what OS are you using?

Win x64... I installed the 32-bit version of the JDK and got it..
If you're totally new, I'd suggest heading over to http://nookdevs.com/NookColor and reading up there.

My SDK install is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows
When I run in cmd:
cd\
cd Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
I can run adb commands. The thread wants me to run sqlite3 commands too, but they are in a different directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools
I am pretty confused on what to do
Do you guys use search at all or check the development forum for this device i mean come on its all in black and white.
I don't know what I did exactly, but I managed to install apk's from the root of my SD card
sweet
Please someone help!
After following instructions of Easy USB ADB Installer for Windows, and running adb devices, my nook didn't show up as a device.
Also I tried installing a software and it said application not install.
Thanks in advance
Easier thing to do is go into Settings --> Application --> Unknown Sources then download an APK with your Browser and install it from the Downloads window. I suggest finding an APK for Astro File Manager and get Dropbox, that way you can install Apps straight from Cloud storage.

Try this Bro, it's the easiest way to get the USB Drivers onto your PC and then your NC recognized.

I have that same problem, have you found a fix for it yet?
I'm running Windows 7 x64
with an I-7 Processor

ADB problem and no OS on device

Last night, on TWRP I formated data on the SD card, which is why I have no OS. Now looking for how to fix this on xda/google, I get into the bootloader, have fastboot usb and try to adb shell but I keep getting the "error no device found". I already installed latest drivers from HTC on to my laptop and still nothing. Any other idea?
windows 8?
First off, make sure you have HTC Sync Manager installed because that will give you the proper drivers in order to be able to use ADB commands.
Afterwards, make sure you install Java JDK and Android SDK.
Just follow this tutorial here: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Follow it word for word and make sure you install JDK X86 even if you have a X64 computer. And then download SDK Manager, put it in C:/ drive, open SDK Manager, and download the necessary tools (also all in the tutorial).
I was in the same position as you just before yesterday and I followed this tutorial with success.

I'll look into both things, thanks.
EDIT: even on my mac adb does not see any devices, before when I entered ./adb devices it would show "list of devices:" and it would be blank.
Good luck, man. It's fairly easy once you read the tutorial carefully and follow all the steps to the word. After it's all done and the command prompt says Sideload 100%, boot into TWRP, tap INSTALL and then scroll down to sideload.zip and that's your ROM. Also after copying the desired ROM to platform-tools in the SDK folder, rename it to rom.zip, it seems to work 100% that way while it struggles a bit with long names.

Still getting the error: device not found.
I even ran the all in one tool kit and attempted the "ADB sideload a ROM" follow the steps but get an error on CMD "C:\users\(username) is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I really do not understand why adb is not working, I did s-off and supercid myself maybe less than a week ago.
Are you sure you followed all the steps in the tutorial including installing JDK, using SDK Manager to download some tools and such? And are you sure you have the proper drivers installed (e.g HTC Sync Manager)? I used to get that error before I installed it. Go to Device Manager while in ADB mode in TWRP and see if the device is recognized or if there's a yellow sign beside it indicating that there are no drivers for it.

It came up under Android USB Devices as My HTC. When I was following the steps on the link you provided, when I tried to update the drivers with the google usb driver wouldnt work, it would say "windows had determined the driver software for your device is up to date". When I go into My HTC properties says the driver version is 2.0.7.18.
The Google USB drivers did not work for me either, only the ones provided by HTC Sync Manager did. I have not experienced that problem, mate, so I do not know what to do at this point, I am very sorry. If you are not able to fix this, I suggest getting an OTG cable and directly loading the ROM from the PC to your SD card. I ordered one a couple of days ago and it is coming tomorrow, it's very helpful

Crap, I appreciate your help though.
EDIT: nevermind googled it, gonna pick one up. Phoneless till wednesday
I am sorry to hear that, but I suppose that's the only thing you can do at the moment. Even if somehow get ADB working, do not cancel your order because OTG cables aren't only used for mounting the device, but also for things like connecting gamepads and controllers to play games on your device.
USB 3
If you have USB3 port adb.exe wan't recognize your device.
I triend first on USB3 and after on other older computer on USB2 all was fine

You can't acces to "adb shell" without OS, there is special mode in adb named "adb sideload" , not shell !
1) Check version adb by "adb version" you need version 1.0.29 or higher
2) Check TWRP version (2.3 or higher) Go to TWRP recovery -> adb sideload
3) Connect PC to phone , at PC in device manager must be MY HTC device.
4) Type jn PC adb sideload /yourpath/yourrom.zip

[Q] Stucked in recovery badly.. Please help me

My device is Moto X (XT1060). I wiped my Internal storage, Cache, Data, System entirely.
I went to my TWRP v2.6.3.1 recovery and tried to sideload cm12.zip via adb.exe but it failed to recognize the device.
I tried
Code:
adb sideload cmfile.zip
but it show's
Code:
error: device not found
I installed Motorola Device manager.. but no luck so far.
I think I need drivers or something for XT1060.. Please help me.
You should search for twrp 2.8.4.0 for Moto X 2013. Also, make sure you have the latest android SDK and ADB files installed. You'll need to search for threads that help get your phone connected to a pc.
Or you could use 'adb push cm12.zip /sdcard' (without the apostrophes) in a cmd prompt then flash in recovery. Why does everyone resort to sideloading when there's any easier method that will always work?
Once you get your Android SDK and drivers set up and storage mounted in recovery.

or you can boot your phone into bootloader if you can and flash the device back to stock and start over.

That is basically all the sideload command does isn't it? I seemed to notice when I side loaded I was left with the zip I installed on my device... I could swear I deleted it manually, which would mean that sideload just pushes and installs for you in once nice package.
Either way, the issue he is having is that ADB won't find his devices... read the error message its not having trouble with the sideload or the zip... He just doesn't know how to use ADB and make it recognize his device...
Pushing doesn't always work when ADB doesn't recognize your device....

cant sideload drivers to downgrade

Hi guys I'm having some issues here. I've been playing with drivers for hours now and I'm stuck. I'm currently trying rootjunkys downgrade method to 5.1.2. With his auto tool I can get to fastboot and his script even recognises my device. But when I try to ADB side load the drivers they won't install and I can't flash the stock firmware. Pics are attach for clarity. Everywhere I look they say to use Android_winusb.inf i always get a 64 bit warning and can't proceed
*Figured it out guys so sorry for the unneeded post
Are you setting the tablet to "Apply update from ADB"? You provided pics for other things except for Amazon Recovery, which is the location for it. That is the only way to get ADB sideload to work.
Please provide all the exacts steps you are taking and what procedure you are following.
Run the command:
adb devices
Should return :
Code:
G000HXXXXXXXXXXX.........sideload
