Problems with ADB install..

Hello all,
I have been following the guide posted by Nephron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 but am having a few problems with my computer recognising my G1 as an ADB device...
My computer's OS is Vista. I have followed the guide to the letter, have downloaded the SDK and unzipped it to C:\ root. I have checked my phone and ensured that 'USB Debugging' is checked. My computer doesn't try to install the Android 1.0 driver (as the original drivers are already installed) and my device is ready to use as a storage device - HOWEVER it is not acknowledging it is an ADB device.
I have tried using USBDeview but it won't let me uninstall the 3 already installed Android drivers. I have even tried manually uninstalling them through the taskbar USB device manager. Even when I uninstall them and re-connect my phone, it automatically installs the standard drivers and doesn't give me an option to select the SDK drivers.
Hope that makes sense to someone. How can I install these damn SDK/ADB drivers on my G1?! Thanks.

Try this...
Remove every mass storage device except your phone (Any usb memory sticks, external HDD's, other phones, etc)
Open the start menu, right click on 'Computer', click 'Manage', and you may need to click continue here.
On the next page, click on 'Device Manager' on the left hand side. In the list on the right, open up the tree for 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'
Find 'USB Mass Storage device' in the list. Right click it, click 'Uninstall'
Click 'Action' at the top, then 'Scan for hardware changes'.
If it all goes well, you should now be asked to locate a driver, point the the Android USB driver. Good luck.
PS, this is all from memory of the issues I had, so if you get stuck, post back .

Worked a charm, thanks!
(Mods...can this be merged to the NEWBIE Q&A thread for ADB/Fastboot etc...more useful place for it than here!)

Glad I could help .

OK...
New problem...
I am using command prompt on vista, entered the following:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools
adb devices (shows my device listed as HT845KV02724)
adb shell (shows a # on the following line)
However....when I enter adb it returns with /sbin/sh: adb: not found .....what have I done wrong? I have checked that the SDK is in C:\ and have downloaded the SDK again just to be sure. What do I need to change???

Once you type adb shell, you're in a terminal on your phone, you can type shell commands there, you need to type exit before typing adb again.
Basically, it's working as intended .

Setting up ADB? Windows 7

im trying to set up a adb so i can use my g1 as a webcam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4975656&postcount=17
however when i plug in my g1 it says everything was installed except the adb.

Do you have ADB setup on your computer in the first place? If not, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719.

I installed the adb with the sdk as it was mentioned and my computer still doesnt show my phone as an adb device

Did you install the drivers for adb?

i cant find out how!

this works if you are running windoze 7 x64

i dont get how im supposed to put windows 7 on test mode =S

im getting this aswel "When running the command prompt adb install I receive an error dialog stating:
"This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.""
im getting so frustrrated with thiss

bump! i dont get this =[

Search for pdanet and install it. That's how I set up adb for Windows. (Btw - get rid of Windows. Finally did my switch to ubuntu today - ahahahahahahaha I'm sad I ever even used Windows.)

Yea, but adb is kind of a ***** about permissions and such on ubuntu. But each has its quarks.
@85mario85 - You have to cd to the adb.exe in the tools folder ie. c:\sdk\tools\ then run adb. Or add it to the paths part, but I can't remember at the moment.

adding it to the path just saves time. instead of having to cd all the time you can just run adb. i highly suggest it. and i agree - ubuntu is a ***** about permissions all the time. i love it, but i have to learn to use it. however, i'll probably always have a copy of windows in case i can't find out how to do something and have to have it done. better safe than sorry. =]

Help with Set Up?

Can anybody help me set up ADB, SDK, and Emulator. I've tried all of the guides but I just don;t understand any of it. I really want Emulator too so f anyone can help, that'd be greatly appriciated. Thanks =D
I have a black G1 with Danger SPL and the latest Radio. I use a Windows Vista laptop and have the SDK downloaded in the C:/ folder but it's the zipped file. Should it be extracted in there? I've tried to do the whole SDK Setup process but for some odd reason it always downloads everything except for like, the firmwares like 1.0,1.1,1.5,1.6,2.0,2.0.1,2.1 or anything.

Make sure that you have the usb drivers installed as well.
What i've done is exacted it to C:\sdk\ It makes navigating to it in CMD a lot easier. Once you have that done open CMD and type the following
Code:
cd C:\sdk\tools
adb shell
This will find your device (make sure it's not mounted and USB Debugging is enabled (default in most roms) and put you into an ADB environment.
this is a really good tool too:

Ok so I have it setup as C:\android-sdk-windows and then all of the files. When I type in the first command it says
Code:
The system cannot find the path specified.
And I have the Droid Explorer Installed and everything but it doesn't have the Emulator and that's all I really want. That and FastBoot.

If you noticed it extracted it to C:\sdk\tools, you did yours to C:\android-sdk-windows. So you'll need to adapt to the changes..
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell

Now it says,
Code:
Error: device not found
G1 is in Debugging mode and all.

A friend of mine had the same problem. Make sure the device is plugged into the back of your computer, reboot the PC and the Phone. See if that helps. And which ROM are you running?

Well see I'm on VegaMans Beta Legend Port, and my phone won't show up on my laptop at all not to mount or anything all that appears is the notification in my bar saying;
Code:
USB Debugging Connected
Select to disable USB Debugging

I saw that, It could be that USB Debug is broken on the ROM (it is in early beta) Try using a different rom.

Well man, I tried it on FastTest and now I have a Custom Splash1 Image and now I'm not afraid of holding the Back button with the Red one. I think I'm going to throw Sense UI off to the side for now until it supports ADB and all. So thanks man, after all these monthes I finally have ADB Access. One more thing though, how can I get Emulator to work?

Now, when I try to go into Emulator through CMD, I se this;
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>emulator
emulator: ERROR: You did not specify a virtual device name, and the system
directory could not be found.
If you are an Android SDK user, please use '@<name>' or '-avd <name>'
to start a given virtual device (see -help-avd for details).
Otherwise, follow the instructions in -help-disk-images to start the emulator
Then, I navigate to C:/Windows-SDK-Windows/SDK Setup and I allow it to run. I get two windows, one that says
Code:
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.
I close that window and go to the one that says Choose Package To Install, but the white box on the side is blank. I close that and go to Android SDK And AVD Manager. From there I go to Virtual Devices and it's blank and grey-ed out. I click new and see
Code:
Name - [I]Here I can write[/I]
Target - [I]Here I can't write[/I]
SD Card: Size [I]Here I can write[/I] MiB or KiB
File: [I]Here I can't write[/I] Browse [COLOR="DarkRed"]Dulled out[/COLOR]
Screw skins and Hardware I can do that on my own, but how can I set a Target if it is grey-ed out?

ADB HELP

I have tried every process I can find in the forum regarding rooting and ADB but I cannot seem to figure this out. I would like to think that I am computer literate and that I know my way around pretty well but somehow this escapes me. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and can't seem to get anything right as far as this process goes.
Is there a rooting/adb for dummies section that someone can point me to?

the sticky wiki for guides at the top of the front page....
try to look around a little before starting new threads.

Thanks for your help...I did look around but I still can't get it to work. I've been through quite a few threads. I don't know if I'm missing something somewhere or what.

is your problem your computer not seeing the phone?
i RUU'd my phone earlier today to test out something i did, but then i found out that adb couldn't connect anymore. i'm still trying to figure it out.

Exactly what are ya having problems with?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
1. HTC Sync installed?
2. Android SDK downloaded?
3. Debugging enabled on the phone?
4. is ADB showing up in the Device manager?
5. Check this thread out dealing with x64 drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560962

Hmmm..
I have Win7 64bit too
I think I just downloaded the newest Android SDK and HtcSync for the Eris. It
works fine for me. What exactly is the issue? You have the phone in debug mode or whatever mode right?
some folks have used PdaNet
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php

first off, I can't get Sync to work at all no matter which version I've tried. Then the drivers won't load for sdk. it just seems like nothing is working together at all.

alright, i figured it out.
uninstall HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers.
reinstall.
done.

Alright... what's your main problem? Are you not able to get the ADB driver to work with your phone in Windows 7 64 bit -- if so, do know that it is possible, because I have it working fine on my computer (Win 7 64B).
If ADB driver situation is your problem, do as follows:
1. Download the file below (to desktop for easy access - This is the Vista 64 bit Drivers)
2. Unzip
3. Go to Device Manager
4. Find ADB (It should come up as ADB with a Yellow Exclamation mark next to it)
5. Right click on it, choose update driver
6. When it asks you to auto find the driver or browse for the driver -- choose BROWSE.
7. Set the path to where you downloaded the file, and then click next.
8. If done correctly, you should see a window pop up that says "Successfully installed My HTC driver".
ADB will work after that is complete. To test, open CMD - go to androidsdk\tools folder, and then run adb devices (If serial # appears, there you have it).
Also with the method above, this will allow the HTC Sync application to work as well.
Source: ME, tested extensively and more than once.

HTC Sync for the Hero was released before Win7, so the Vista drivers will work but you have to jump through some hoops.
Now the Eris version is the same HTC Sync but it has drivers for Windows 7, it is the same software but is bundled with newer drivers.

Roger that guys, thanks for the help. I will attempt tonight when I get back to my computer.

Ok just got home and am doing the suggested things, after installing the SDK it wants me to install packages and when I choose cancel, windows says the program was not installed correctly. what do i need to install?!
Also no ADB in device manager!

yeah they took out the packages of the SDK, so you have to add them in as needed.
I have a 2nd Win7 box that's an Android virgin, I will try and run through the install tonight(off at 5pm PST)when I get home and I'll document the install.
hang in there.

That would be awesome, I'm at the point where I am just about to give up. I have never been so frustrated with a computer. This is the first Windows 7 system I have done anything with and I already don't like it.

Install packages? What? Weird, the Android SDK is natively 32 bit, but will work in Windows 7 64 BIT (That's what I'm running now).
Alright, steps to take:
1. Uninstall/remove everything you did before.
2. Grab the Windows Android SDK -- download it (to the desktop is fine)
3. UNZIP/Extract the SDK
4. Drag the Android SDK to the root of your drive (Local Disk C: )
5. For easy access purposes, RENAME the Android SDK from what you see to something like: androidsdk
6. Open Command Prompt
7. Verify that you can get to the "androidsdk" directory by running the command: cd androidsdk\tools
8. If you can get there -- then good, so far.
9. Now to test "adb" -- Have your phone connected to the PC.
10. While still in command prompt and STILL in the c:\androidsdk\tools: dir... run command: adb devices
11. This should return your Serial #
12. If your serial # shows up, then make sure you can run the command adb shell and see if you get the # sign, which indicates that you are rooted -- If not, then you need to begin the process of rooting your phone.
Also, if ADB doesn't work after this point, do what I told you earlier, I can guarantee that it does work, because I actually did it this morning on my work computer (Which is Windows 7 64 Bit).
Good luck, report back.

Holy crap it looks like it worked!! Thanks Pseudo! Now if I could only get my damn phone to find Sync I'd be all set.
Still can't get sync to register with phone but that's no biggie. But have a small issue that I dunno where to look to find an answer. I'm trying to update my recovery from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 and can't seem to follow the directions appropriately.
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
None of that seems to work lol.

So since we're on the subject does anyone know how to set up the drivers for linux mint kde? I'm brand new to linux and I've managed to do some things but that is just one thing that i cant do so far and after almost a day pf searching this forum and others i just cant seem to get it

First off, no problem for the help -- glad it worked. What ROM are you currently running, that would be helpful in solving your sync issue.

Alright, lets begin - To upgrade to RA 1.6.2, (You have to be in recovery mode (Home + Power) -- and also have your phone connected to the PC). Then do as follows:
1. Download the 1.6.2 file
2. Copy or move it to your androidsdk\tools folder
3. Run commands below:
Code:
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
Code:
mount -a
You'll probably get the next line below -- that's okay.
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory
Keep going...
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
After you do this, the shell should return #, if it does, then run:
Code:
reboot recovery
Now verify that your recovery says 1.6.2.
Good luck.

Well, since you've asked a good question, I shall direct you in the right direction. Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, so this guide should work for you., however do note that I have not tested this in Linux Mint, as I currently run Ubuntu 9.10, but you should be okay.
Go HERE and bookmark this page for reference, it has some good stuff -- Now this guide is not directly for our phones (CDMA HERO), however the directions, if followed correctly... DO WORK and have been tested by me (did this last night) with successful results.
When you get to the web page, start at "Generic Linux Instructions". Also, when you get to the heading "Set up ubuntu to recognize your phone, and the adb/fastboot commands in the terminal" -- step 4 will ask you to create an empty file, use the Ubuntu 9.10 format and NOT the older versions, again this format should work in the latest version of Linux Mint.
Hope that helps. Also, if have problems or want a step by step tutorial (pending how "new" to Linux you are), just ask me or PM me, I'll write one up.

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

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.
