I am using the latest SDK. Thanks! That fixed it. Ending adb.exe in Task Manager... I was messing around cos I cant get fastboot to work. I go into FastbootUSB, connect my usb, run "fastboot devices", and I get no results. It just waits for my next command.
I tried killing adb.exe after I wrote an adb command and it didn't do anything. I keep getting that out out date killing .... can anyone help? thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't get rid of that stupid message.
i was having the same problem, i took ADB.exe and adbwinapi.dll from 1.5r2 SDK and put it in the new SDK Tools folder, problem was fixed

I did that and still have that problem ...
could someone please help me .. thanks!
If anyone runs into this problem I fixed mine with the adb.exe from the new "universal" sdk. I downloaded it and just pasted that adb.exe into the existing tools folder. May not be recommended but I did not want to change my setup.
while your phone is in recovery and plugged in, go to device manager and see if there is a listing called adb interface. if so, do you know how to manually update the drivers? by pointing the driver update to the usb folder of the sdk?
konzern
running my adb shell ums_enable is no longer working says ums not found ?
edit to m y post i found a alternative thank god!
1.plug in your phone and open command prompt
2.change directories to where u have ur sdk stuff (ex. cd c:\thenameofdirectory/tools)
3.type this in
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
I am curious if any of you loaded Droid Explorer? I loaded it, played around with it, and it was pretty cool for the screenshot and screencast stuff. But, later I noticed I kept getting the "adb server is out of date. killing..." I searched through these threads and Google for a solution, but nothing seemed to work. I could enter "adb remount" and it might work about 1 time in 5. Even adb devices would fail and fail before finally reporting my device. After I uninstalled Droid Explorer. The problem stopped immediately. Now that I think about it, I think Droid Explorer runs a service. Maybe after uninstalling, the services stopped, fixing this problem. If not Droid Explorer, maybe some other program that is trying to detect the device at plugin. Just my experience.
I just killed the DroidExplorer service, and set it to manual. Problem solved.
I've had no luck with DE anyhow, so it probably won't get started again any time soon.

Yes, this is a problem that occurs after installing Droid Explorer. The service also takes a lot of idle CPU time. I have uninstalled it due to this and other reasons.
Damn, Droid Explorer! I uninstalled and I am still having this problem. Damn !
OK, I got droid explorer and adb playing nice together. I deleted the SDK from my PC, and reinstalled droid explorer full (which comes with the SDK already). Then I just added the new tools directory droid explorer installs to the system path. You can find directions on how to do that here -> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec02 . Instead of using C:\AndriodSDK\Tools\ for the string I added, I used the default location where droid explorer installs the tools directory ( C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK\tools ). Now I have the best of both worlds !

I also noticed I was getting the blue screen of death, which I hadn't seen in years. I think DE was causing that, too, because I haven't had the BSOD since uninstall. So two problems I didn't think were related seem to have been caused by Droid Explorer. I think it's a pretty cool program, but I'd rather do things the "old fashioned" way.
Can any of you point me in the direction of how to use ADB to take a screenshot? Maybe it can't. Thanks.
Edit: I found it...Through DDMS!

Sounds like you have droid explorer installed, goto the sdk folder in droid explorer (c:\program files\droid explorer\sdk) copy the 2 folders (platform and tools) to your own sdk folder.

Can you link to the "universal" download please? Probably missing something obvious here, but can't seem to find any other version than the most recent r05.

Title says it all. I have a mac, and I want to sideload on my rooted Captivate. Are there any easy apps for mac to sideload? Downloading the SDK is not on my list of preferred methods....
Choices:
1. Use ADB
2. Modify the DB to allow non-market apps, put them on SD and use something like root explorer to install them.
3. Install windows in Boot Camp.

All three are very good options, if you're good with terminal then ADB is pretty simple.
Just edit the db, it takes all of 5 mins and then BAM. life is good

I sent smokestack a PM to see if he can help me out on how to do it. I just flashed the phone with Froyo following the directions here. I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.
Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?
Moved to Q&A.
okay im trying to root my phone i already downloaded the driver to sync to my cpu and the downloaded the rooting file change it to update and copied it to my phone. i downloaded the sdk file and extracted it to my c drive as c:/androidsdk. i did everting it ask me to opened up the command promt and entered cd first changedirectory space the entered c:/androidsdk/tools as it tells me to but says this the program cant find the path specified..can anyone tell me wat im doin wrong and y its not bein recognized thanks in advanced
Re-check your path. When I installed it looked like this:
c:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools
YMMV
PS ... note they are backslashes not forward slashed in the path
Q: still having a problem rooting my captivate
i switched it up to the backlash and it still saying no path detected...it wont enen let me root my phone saying file is not there i downloaded the root file extract it to my c drive n renamed it update i got windows 7 i then copied it to my phone...downloaded the android sdk file extracted it to my c drive.opened up the command and put in the codes and it tells me it cant find the path..am i downloading the file wrong extracting it to the wrong file??? plz help
I do it the lazy way, take the tools folder and copy it directly to C:
So it would be,
cd C:\tools
adb blah blah blah
That's an easier path to remember.

That works too ...
My point was it's clear the OP has the path wrong. Actually finding the tools folder in Windows Explorer is obviously the first step.
Also, anything he is trying to push via ADB has to be in the tools folder as well if memory serves.
Of course there is an easier way to root ...

Don't know what to tell you. Following the instructions in the post I linked to above is the easiest way I know of how to root, and has worked every time I've tried it.
If you can get into download mode, then maybe try re-flashing to stock with Odin One Click and see if that helps any. Or re-install your drivers.
So, you cant even copy and paste from your pc to phone via usb mass storage?
Use your phone, go to dev section, find unleash the beast or super rooter extreme, download either and place the update.zip on the root of your sd card using My Files or whatever. Reboot your phone into recovery and reinstall packages. There, youre rooted. Dont forget to delete the update.zip if you plan to use CWM.

You can use Sideload Wonder Machine or the Android SDK to sideload.
With the Android SDK, you just put whatever apk you want to load into the 'tools' folder and use the adb install filename.apk command.
Like i said, check the dev section for SRE or unleash the beast. One update.zip that does it all, root, bloatware removal, sideloading, etc.

What startngate said. Here in the captivate forum there is android developement, do a search for super rooter or unleash the beast. All the steps to run it are there. Works really well if you just want a stock rom with root and some other goodies. If you want custom roms i encourage you to read through the threads before doing anything.

I use this one to keep it simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
And I think it has the update.zip file in it... so if that application doesn't work.. you can just install the update.zip into your sdcard - reboot into recovery and install update.zip from there.
You don't need the SDK - just need to make sure your phone can be seen by your computer. I've used it on both an XP and Win7 64-bit machine at home and it works great.
To "side-load" applications - you can use the wonder machine... or place the *.apk file on your SDCard and use MyFiles or your favorite file explorer to browse to it and it should install just fine.
I'm testing my phone out with a stock ROM - and I'm rooted/sideload avail and even have a lagfix installed with all of my apps installed in under 15-20 minutes... it is a pretty simple process to root this thing nowdays
First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.

If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot
problem solve
E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk
Download on you phone and install.
It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
