I tried to follow the steps from androidandme to set up my phone for screen shots. I got java, got the android sdk and unzipped everything (nothing was installed?), changed the path under advanced settings, dowloaded eclipse (why not) and all that jazz - full 9 yards.
However, when I run ddms.bat in the tools folder and Dalvik comes up it never recognizes my phone. I have tried with the g1 mounted, unmounted, usb debugging on/off (which I also do not know what this means).
Anyone have any thoughts? I did not get any prompts about drivers and I am mounted to my computer.
Read the guides on how to install ADB.
for some reason when i ever i use ddms to take screen shots, i can't just go to take a screenshot, i have to run a logcat first, it will bring up a popup that says "failed!" i then close that and it runs a logcat, after i do that, then i can use it to take a screen shot.
^^ not sure how that matters but I double clicked the adb.exe file, a dos prompt ran a lot of info and disappeared. Also, your signature has a link to SDK 1.5, not 1.6?
Tried DDMS again with no luck.
^ I tried to do a logcat, failed, SS with no luck... again though, the issue is that my phone is not being identified - it would make sense that it would not work if it doesnt even know my phone is hooked up.
Perhaps I will sleep on it as work is in a few hours. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Sorry if this is not relevant, but I had a ton of trouble until I had the newest jave runtime installed. I never had trouble, got a new laptop at work and had no clue why it would not run. the newest JRE fixed it right up. Maybe not your problem but...
Also I like the program "droid explorer". It has screenshot built in.
EDIT.
I have one more thought...I (always have one more thought) try starting your phone in fastboot (camera and power) then back button when the skaters come up) and see if it asks for drivers then.

adb.exe is a command line application, it doesn't have a GUI. To use an command line app you have to 'cd' to the directory where it's located and enter valid commands. I think you can type 'adb help' for a full list of commands.
Try reinstalling the drivers, it took me a few tries to get it working right on Vista (interestingly no drivers are needed for OS X )
Let me start very basic. Is there any "installing" of the SPK? Or, do I just extract the files? I extracted them and created a directory in PATH like the site said to do.
If there is no installation... are you saying for me to get in dos and just start keying commands, and not using any of the files from the zip?
There is no installation, but EVERYTHING for the sdk is ran in command prompt. Meaning click start, click run, type in cmd, then type cd path/to/your/toolsfolder/ then type adb remount see if it does, if not you NEED TO FOLLOW THE ADB INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING DRIVERS.
I have a small issue with running DDMS through adb. I have adb up and running correctly...have for months. My problem is, when I double click on ddms in my C drive folder, it just opens and closes very fast. I am on Vista. Any thoughts?
Run it like adb... ddms

If you mean actually typing ddms after adb remounting, I am getting "java is not a recognizable" command or something along those lines. I have java installed. I do not know why this won't work.
SETTING UP ADB FOR WINDOWS USERS
The example shown in the video tutorial is running Windows 7. XP, Vista should run the same way.
1) Download the SDK program for your OS Here..
2) Download the latest Java Platform if you don’t have an updated version.
3) The SDK program will download in a .zip file. Extract that file somewhere easily accessible [like your desktop!]
4) You should now have a folder on your desktop with a name: android-sdk-windows
5) Drag that folder into the root of your HD…
The pathway should be something like: Computer > Local Disk ( C: ) > android-sdk-windows
6) make SURE to install the USB driver package in SDK... this way your device will be recognized when running adb commands later on...
Now that you have placed the SDK program there you can run ADB commands. But you need to run them Manually. Most people go into the tools folder and click adb and expect it to work its magic… you can stare all you want, but all it’s going to do it open a command prompt, run commands, and disappear. Now, don’t go “ZOMG I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! IT WONT WORK!” …. Trust me, it will work..
6) Open a command prompt, go to windows start menu and click “search” or “run…” and in the box type: cmd and then press enter. This will execute the command prompt [terminal]
7) Now connect your Eris via USB. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ON!! If you don’t, go to settings < applications < development and check the box: usb debugging
8) Don’t mount your SD card yet.
9) Now you are almost ready to execute your first adb command. But first you must re-direct the path in command prompt to be your tools folder in SDK… this is what command should look like before:
C:\Users\YourUserName>
Now type in command: cd
But DON’T press enter… drag and drop the path from your SDK tools into that command line, so it should look like this:
C:\Users\YourUserName> cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now press enter. NOW your command prompt should say:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Ok, last part… to test adb type in command: adb devices
Now it should return something like:
List of devices attached
HT9ANXXXXX Device
Ok so now you can execute Adb commands. Make sure you always have your command prompt pathway set to SDK tools or it WILL NOT WORK! You can now also execute adb commands directly to your device from it’s shell by typing: adb shell followed by your command.
For Visual people here is my short Youtube video explain it all again... and here is my screen shot to show you what it should look like, pay attention to my command prompt.
Another example: Custom boot animation for NON-ROOT USERS.
1) Find / create a boot animation that works with the Eris
2) name the Zip file bootanimation.zip
3) place .zip file in SDK tools folder
4) Follow above instructions to set path in CMD to tools folder and connect your device
5) execute this command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Feel free to PM if you have any questions... I hope this helps
adb
Could someone sticky this please?... and I think themes and apps is a good place for it..unless you think it belongs in general..
Help
I followed your instructions to the "T" everything worked but when I tried to push abd bootanimation command it says access denied is this because I don't have root? I am running on the 2.1 leak Version 2 OTA . Seems to be working fine for me. Although I wish I would have waited for root!! C'mon DEVS I'm pulling for you. Any suggestions?

You probably don't have the .apk file in the same directory as sdk tool folder
try moving it there and see if that works.
When i open ADB all it does is it has a lot of white writing that scrolls along and then closes, does anyone know if i set it up wrong, or if they could post step by step instructions? it would be much appreciated, Thanks.

im not sure, im not very familiar with ADB
I'm pretty new to this, but seems to me you are trying to open the adb that psouza includes with his tools. (If not, then just ignore me)
that's not gonna work for what you are trying to do. i think you need to download the android sdk to get adb working.

i am using the one in the SDK, i have it on my c drive in the correct spot but it still closes itslef
Are you clicking it like an icon or running it from a DOS prompt? It is to be run from the command line as it is a dos/command line program..
Ie.. at the c:\android-sdk-x86\platform_tools\ prompt you type adb and what you want to do.
Adb push or adb pull or adb shell, etc. Just adb will give some command options

First you have to open an elevated command prompt. Do this by clicking the start icon, then typing in "cmd" (without the quotes of course) and then right clicking the only thing that pops up and choosing Run As Administrator. After doing this, you need to know where you folder that contains ADB is at. To find this easily, click Start and then click Computer and in the explorer window that just popped up, type in "adb.exe". That will show you where your adb files are at.
Continuing on, for an example, my adb stuff is in C:\root stuffz. So in the command prompt I would type in "cd c:\root stuffz" and then hit enter. After that, I can then do my adb commands, such as "adb shell", "adb push", "adb pull", etc...
Edit: Make sure you have your drivers installed for the phone. Also, make sure the phone is in debug mode and charge only. This should just about cover most of the absolute basics of getting your phone recognized by adb. I'm not too sure if I missed anything, and one of the other more experienced peeps on here can prob give you more detailed information lol.
First of all, kudos to jcs for this op. While fairly new at this, I found it very complete. I had to do alot of reading and downloading behind the scenes to get it this far, but so far everything has worked.
As the title suggests, I am stuck on step 7c, in particular where I am trying to run "novacom....certs.sh". I am using ubuntu and had to load "Wine" to get it to recognize the "palmenv.bat" file. So, is there an easy way to run the "nova...." file in ubuntu? Other than finally figuring out how to get and use java in ubuntu, I've been very impressed with that OS.
Here is the error message:
Z:\home\mds\Downloads\WebOS>novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
File not found.
The "Z" directory was the result of running the "wine cmd" as the directory originally was "C". Initially after running the "wine cmd" command, I ran the "palmenv.bat" and it accepted it. However, I was unable to run the "novacom...certs.sh" file, even though it was in the same location.
PS: I have deleted and added spaces in combinations around "<" in the above as I could not tell for sure the correct way.

Did you fully read post #2, part C of the TPTB thread? You should be able to just unzip the TPTB into a folder, open a terminal session in that folder, and run the .sh file that's there. You may need to run it with sudo; that I don't recall.

Yes thanks. The problem boils down to running a ".bat" file then running a ".sh" file. Using Ubuntu, I have been unable to run the .bat file without "wine", then, in "wine", I have been unable to run the ".sh" file.
In windows 7, I can run the ".bat" file, but unable to run the ".sh" file. This is the final step in jcs's op to do a clean install of webos and this particular step fixes the certificates. Ref here step 7d: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756314&page=7
Ubuntu command:
sudo ./tptb_v42_nix.sh
You have to be in the same directory where tptb is...of course the listed command is for version 42.
The .sh file is for Linux not for windows. You cannot run it in "wine".

You're not getting the message. You don't run the batch file in Ubuntu; it's for Windows only. Follow the above post's advice (note the period before the /. It's essential).

So, below is an exact copy (ctrl c, then ctrl v) from page 7 of jcs' op for reinstalling webos.
then run "palmenv" and then run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"
Just got back on this project again and have a follow-up question.
From your comment above, I need to add a period here either before the "///" or ".///" slashes or after "bin" or "bin./"?
Here is also a direct copy out of the text file of "fix-webOS-certs.sh"
novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
So, neither place has a period before either of the /'s as you mentioned. Please advise...thanks again.
Thanks and Sorry, I did not see the previous post to yours. In the meantime, I did run it again without knowing where to put the period and I am a little closer to completing the reinstall...but still don't know why I can't get the last line "novacom run file.....certs.sh" to run.
I redid every step again on the tp and got to the screen where you select the "language". I then opened up the command prompt in windows 7, tp still connected, cd'd until I got to the directory where both "palmenv" and "novacom run file..." is located. I ran "palmenv" and got "Setting Novacom Path ....".
I then immediately ran the "novacom run file....." and got "unable to find device".
I checked my device manager under disk drives and the "HP Webos-usb device" was listed with no flags.
I tried it again, but same message.
One other comment on the "novacom run file....". In windows, when I hit the download button on the "goo" website, it actually opens up. In order to download, I had to select all, paste it in notepad, open up notepad and save as the ".sh" file. So, I don't know if that is screwing something up or not. Otherwise, it would not down load or I would not have it. Strangely, it did download in Ubuntu, but that file did not work either.
So, any advice on how I can complete the very final step on running the "novacom run file....certs.sh"?

Thanks. I had thought the .sh file was for Ubuntu, but I received a message that said those sequence of commands from jcs was to be run in windows. Anyway, I believe the above instructions are how to get the tptb running in Ubuntu. If so, that is not the problem. If not, then from that and other messages received, I would run the .bat file from windows, reboot my system and then run the .sh file in Ubuntu adding "sudo ./ to the "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"?
So, for a recap, per jcs's op, one would open the command prompt in windows, and cd to the correct directory where the palmenv,bat file and fix-webOS-certs.sh reside. Then run "palmenv" the run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh" file.
For some reason, I doubt he was suggesting changing from windows to Ubuntu when running these commands, but I may be wrong...as I often am.
I know I'm dumber than a hay rake, but really, can someone please explain in detail for this newbie, what he needs to do to run both of those commands? Refer to a previous post link if unfamiliar with what op I'm trying to perform...and am on the last step 7d
I think the issue is that you are trying to install WebOS.
Not sure of the help you are going to get with that as many of us have moved on a while ago and no
longer have the interest in it. You might want to check on other threads where it is relevant.

Yes, that is what the procedure does that jcs has outlined. And thanks for the reply. I have got webos installed which was the easy part, however, running the last two commands appear to be a matter of proper input...which several advices have been given, but none have worked. I was hoping that someone, other than the author of the procedure, had tried it or at least someone may be familiar enough with this type of input to help. Oh well, thanks again.
Progress with novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
Was able to finally run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh after previously receiving unable to locate device message by booting HP Touchpad into developer/USB mode and running novaterm.bat from the terminal folder and connecting from the menu. I was then able to run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh from the Command Prompt but it does not appear to have run successfully.

I am trying everything I can to get the HP Touchpad wifi working after having done a complete wipe before a system restore and learning the HP Servers are no longer supporting. I have Cyanogenmod 11 installed and wifi worked for approximately one day after each install. When I try to connect to any access point it only says "saved" afterward and the signal seems to drop to zero while connecting. Another strange occurrence is the fact that the wifi mac address that shows in the advanced menu of Cyanogenmod does not match the previously saved mac address on my home wifi set up as an extra security measure. The mac is the same in the device info menu of WebOS when trying to install but getting the message that servers can not be accessed to finish the install. When it was connected for a short time after Cyanogenmod install the MAC address was correct but since it has changed will not connect and the new address gives an unsupported message when trying to add to my network devices list. I have tried all posted troubleshooting steps as well as having installed Busy Box and attempting to change the Mac address manually. I get operation not supported at that prompt in the Terminal Emulator on the Touchpad. Has anyone come across this or been able to get their HP Touchpad working properly with Cyanogenmod 11?
