Free Screenshots using Dalvik - not rec my phone?

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.

[HELP]cmd adb error msg...

I already have my pc setup with adb. It appears to be working just fine. I'm trying to setup adb on my laptop and is running into all types of problems. I've downloaded the sdk and ran the sdk setup.exe and downloaded all the latest files, and of course the usb driver. I was able to successfully install the driver and was able to connect my G1 for file transfer. I've followed the guide info to the letter but for some strange reason I get the following:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
I've already tried uninstalling the newest driver and installing the working one from my pc, then I tried downloading a driver that was listed by a user in this thread. Still no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

1) Done [Don't insult me!]
2) Tried 3 different drivers. All allowed me to connect my G1 to transfer files, but not ADB.
3) ...shouldn't have to install linux. My pc (running windows abviously) works just fine. My laptop, running windows, should work the same.
Thanks for the assistance though...

I really wouldn't except this behavior from you, but I see we all fall from grace every now and again. I've posted in that thread already, no one can seem to come up with an intelligent response. I followed all the instructions in both adb help threads for proper installation on my laptop. If you don't know the answer to what I'm seeking, I would honestly prefer you not to reply at all. Don't assume I'm the typical xda idiot, assume I'm the most intelligent person you've ever spoke to, then go from there with your next reply.

you posted a couple of hours ago, duplicating posts might be considered spam
you didn't really give any useful information in your post(s)
and if I were to assume your were, then this is just some boring role play thing at a job interview or something, as you wouldn't really need anyones help on this.

Everyone, Chill it.
We don't need a flame war.
Check your firewall. Make sure it's not blocking the connection. Also, are you using the same USB cord on both machines?

Thank you for trying to "actually" assist me. I am using the exact same usb cable on purpose to rule that out as a reason. I've also recently update both computers to the latest norton antivirus. Like I stated the drivers install on the laptop and I'm able to connect the G1 for file transfers, so I assume the driver is working but when I type in adb device or adb shell in cmd, I get the no device msg. I'm really stumped with this one...
*Update* My norton did remove adb.exe from windows\system32 on both computers, but I was able to restore that file on both. Like I said, my pc works just fine, laptop no good...

And point 3
Install linux ( ubuntu 10.4 )
Just give it 10gb
It will eliminate hardware faults as being the problem
The android developer has a tutorial for 10.4, so it should be easy
( no need for drivers, aparently 10.4 ships with the android udev rule )

the driver for file transfer isnt the same as the driver for adb....so your logic is flawed
seriously tho, use linux...wubi is pretty good now and u only need 4-10gb if u are only using it for android stuff
in my experience, windows, especially where norton is used, randomly breaks adb

The file transfer is done using the standard windows mass storage driver, not an android specific driver. Even if it's the same norton, try disabling it and see what happens. Also, trying removing the driver completely and reinstalling it again. I've had the issue happen also only when in windows and it's always something random.

virtualbox _should_ ( I think ) let you 'see' the Android Phone regardless of the drivers being installed on the Windows host
But, I have not tested that

Did you ever get this to work, I have the same issue?
I'm having the same issue, I'm trying to use ADB with my TF300T from a Windows 7 64 bit system. Always get the error adb error.
I have a couple of questions will this work correctly with a 64bit O.S?
Also the part of the instructions that reference SDCARD are they talking about the directory on my ASUS /sdcard/ or are they talking about the physical card?
Just need to know does it require you to have a sdcard in the ASUS to use adb?
May sound like fundamental questions to a lot of you, however I have combed through these forums as well as others all over the web, and the majority of instructions seem to be lacking the basics.
Thank you,

I have Ubuntu at work should I run ADB through this?
I have Ubuntu at work
It's a bit of a process according to the instructions that I have on the
screen right now to setup ADB through this, is there any gotchas that I should
know about before attempting this?
This is running on a VM on one of my servers. What I'm looking for is any known compatibility issues with versions of ADB and the Asus TF300T running .26
Thanks in advance.

developing apps on the vibrant in eclipse

i don't want to put root on my vibrant. i previously had a nexus one and all i had to do was plug it in and turn on debugging mode and i could test out my apps and debug them just fine.
with the vibrant I get the following error when trying to debug apps:
[2010-07-25 21:40:58 - ApiDemos] Failed to upload ApiDemos.apk on device 'T959xxxxxxxxxxx'
[2010-07-25 21:40:58 - ApiDemos] java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: timeout
Is adb push disabled?

edit: my bad. i didn't sign with a debug certificate.
so adb install works, but for some reason the eclipse says failed to upload when you try to use the 'run' or 'debug' build in eclipse. any ideas?

it looks like eclipse will do the run/debug fine after manually installing with adb install on the command line. that's a little annoying, but a reasonable workaround. i wish i knew the root cause though...

I thought I was the only one having this problem! But it looks like it's the vibrant, not me or eclipse. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this issue? I've tried different versions of eclipse and java but no luck. So far my experience with the vibrant as a developer has been really ****ty. Especially since my mac (my main computer) doesn't recognize it in any way. If anyone has some sort of solution to this that would be great

So I have to say that I cannot get my Vibrant to work either. Of course I can't seem to get the emulator working also. So far I am dead in the water on Android development. Sucks.

I've been deving just fine on my vibrant no issues whatsoever. the only problem i had was that adb didn't detect the vibrant at all till i updated my sdk, are you guys using the latest adb?
i can run and debug just fine from eclipse, just the same as it works on my g1. i tried it on both windows and linux.....

Yea I've been using my vibrant as my development phone without a problem. Just make sure you have the correct adb drivers. I found them online somewhere

Netbeans sends apks to my Vibrant fine, even before I was rooted. In fact, I can ONLY get Netbeans to send to the Vibrant... it completely ignores the Emulator if the Vibrant is plugged in w/USB Debugging on.
Might be something with Eclipse. I've had tons of problems with it.

Eclipse has been working perfectly for me on my Vibrant...

[Q] Install B&N SDK, lose adb connectivity?

I can't see the Nook using adb anymore. I can see my phone so the connection is fine. Seems to have happened after installing the B&N SDK. Anyone else have this issue??

I had this issue.. not sure what broke... double check the 'adb_usb.ini' file in your 'c:\users\user\.android' folder and make sure it still has '0x2080', mine was changed somehow. not sure if this is what fixed my adb connection but it's working again now.

During installation, it changed the "'adb_usb.ini" file...just go back into it and add "0x2080" back. It should work again.

Bingo. That did it - just edited and added 0x2080 on a new line.

The technically correct answer...
...is after installing the nook SDK, you then run the following command, per the instructions:
android update adb

[Q] ADB not recognizing my Nook (Mac OSX, Bootable HC v4)

Subject largely says it all. ADB is running fine through terminal, but when I run the adb devices command, no results are returned. Trying to run the install script to get the market up and running.
Any help? And the old cliches ring true here "I've searched, and failed" for quite some time. The only similar result I've seen on here just wound up "working" for someone.
Cheers.

ADB wasn't recongnizing my Nook Color either so I downloaded the adbWireless app from the marketplace. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately until i have an adb connection, i cannot install the market, which is a shame considering i really enjoy the HC preview.

When had the same problem w nook color running CM7, somebody told me to put 0x2080 in .android/adb_usb.ini. it worked first time I tried. Next day, it did not. After I checked off Stay Awake (under Application,Development), it works since.

Well why dont you use the terminal that -should- be on the HCv4... you can use busybox to push and do other things...
What are you trying to do?

Just use Auto-nooter and you'll get the market

I appreciate the attempts to help, guys - but I did think I made it somewhat clear in the OP that I was trying to load the market via the widely circulated ADB script. I don't know if busybox is an option - and Auto-nooter is definitely not.
Regardless, thanks again - and I did just decide to go with the flashable HcV4 as it included the market and gapps bundle. Now if only we can get that new fangled gmail up and running... though I know that's wishful thinking at the moment.

I had this exact same problem. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get ADB to work on my MacBook with HC v4. So I booted into Windows using parallel and that worked, so I have been using windows thus far to ADB into the Nook
