Hey everyone, I've been following the Honeycomb developments on the nook, but havent posted yet. I just got my nook this weekend and immediately installed deeper blue's Honeycomb ROM on the SD card without rooting my nook.
It is great and he deserves all the praise in the world, but unfortunately does not have a ton of use to me without being able to download items from the market.
I'm not very experienced in programing in general or using the android sdk or adb.
I tried installing the market using the instructions in the following places:
w w w.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
w w w.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-android-3-0-honeycomb-and-market-on-nook-color/
After 2+ hours of frustration, I was finally able to get my device recognized in the command prompt using "adb devices" or something like that.
However, when I copied and pasted the commands, the command prompt text just scrolled and then the command prompt closed all together.
Alas, there was no market on my honeycombed nook.
Any ideas where I could have been going wrong?
I could really use an extremely basic step-by-step here.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to test anything until I get home from work later tonight.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips.

I saw that, but didnt know if it was the same thing I was looking for. I dont remember if I tried it or not.
Is it just as simple as it sounds? What directory exactly do I extract it in? The platform-tools folder?
Then just double click that one file and it should automatically install the market on my device?
Are there any prereqs? Like I said in my original post, I THINK i got my device recognized in the command prompt, as it gave me a serial number in the response.
Sorry for the noob questions, but I am truly unexperienced.
Yup. It makes the files pushable. From there just copy paste his code

Hello,
I am the Mobile Technology Editor at AddictiveTips and both the guides that you quoted here were written by my writers and heavily edited by me. The issue lied in you not following one crucial step of the ADB guide - it seems you didn't add the tools and platform-tools folders of your SDK installation to your computer's PATH variable as outlined in that guide.
Doing that basically makes things a lot easier as you don't have to copy files for any such hacks or tricks into the tools or platform-tools folder of ADB and it keeps those folders clean, containing only the default tools files. It also eliminates the risk of you deleting any of those essential files when you are done with your customization and delete the files that you pasted there earlier.
The script you used was awesome as well...jleecong has done an excellent job at putting it together and I will update my guide to include it. Just like you, I've also got to thank forsaken82 for bringing it to my attention as while the guide I featured does install Market, enabling you to install the rest yourself...this one installs some other useful apps for you directly too. =)

Thank you for your reply, but I have already figured everything out using a script.
I actually did add the tools and platform-tools folders to the PATH variable though.
Either way, the issue has been resolved.

It should definitely work if you added those folders to the PATH variable correctly - it has been tested by many users to work successfully. I am now curious on what sort of error you received but most likely you wouldn't have saved the output from those commands. In any case, as long as you got it working, it's all good. =)
EDIT: Just out of curiosity...did you copy and paste the commands there all together or did you enter them one by one?

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

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.

About me:
I have a mytouch3g running cyanogenmod 5.0.7ds
I have a mac, so most (pretty much all) of the boot screen instructions won't work for me.
The questions I have:
How can I change the boot screens on my mt3g
I found a .png that is awesome and I want to make it my first boot screen, how can I differentiate which boot screen I am changing?
Is there a less complex way of changing a boot screen than have been described? like a simple flash from recovery or something?
search button = answers
That doesnt help. i've read all the post about it already and they are all for windows, linux and the g1. none of which I have.
...A little help
If you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac... (which you should already have done) Kick your phone into "Fastboot" (I.E. Power+Back Button) From your Mac... Open up CMD line, and follow the same instructions you found for windows. Its really no different. As, long as you have properly installed the SDK and USB Drivers on your Mac. Hope this helps.
Also...
Read this post for the instructions.

Okay... I've installed Android SDK, I followed the instructions in the Cyanogenmod Wiki, and on the Android SDK website, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to run the SDK. I have Eclipse classic installed, but i'm just utterly confused. Can someone give me a description of how it's supposed to look or what i'm supposed to do or how I can get it up and running. I really need help with this.

Easy fix to all this. Take your desired boot screen and place it on your sd card. DO NANDROID BACKUP. Use Root explorer and copy and paste that bootanimation.zip into system/media folder and then reboot. Thats all there is to it
EDIT: Oh im sorry. Just noticed you want the boot IMAGE not the Boot animation. Sorry
I asked this same question about two days ago but put it in the android themes section. So far every response i have gotten has not worked. I know how to flash the splash screen when i get the correct image file, but my problem has been finding a way to change a .png or.jpg image into a .rgb565 image file. Every topic on xda that tells you how to do this requires a .exe program which me and you both know we can't run on mac without paying 50+ dollars for an extra program. I continue to look but so far the only solution i have come up with is to borrow a friends windows computer to convert my pictures. Unfortunately i just moved to a new city and don't know anyone with a windows computer. best of luck to you.
I have the one click root on my computer. I was able to root stock 2.1 but not Froyo. I cant seem to get a normal Update.zip to reinstall to root it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

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.
Ok so this started out as a small project to make my day to day phone functions easier and quicker but I thought I might share it incase anyone thought my AdbTool was helpful or just nice to have.
Functions so far:
1. Check for device
2. Push or Pull a File
3. Install .apk
4. Reboot
5. Root your Droid X
6. Change bootanimation
7. Push framework (specifically for framework)
8. issue whatever adb command you need to with out the extra typing
9. Set project
10. Error log
11. Clean up folder
There are more functions to come in the future so let me know if you like this script and what you wanna see added. There is no install just unzip and open the .bat file.
This sounds great! Though I'm on Linux machine, so I don't think ill be able to use it :/

So I just used the link you provided to the other post. I don't know if you did this but I just extracted the files to platform tools and then ran the HoneyGCallinstall script and it worked! Don't know if you are on a mac and it may be different. I am on a mac boot-camp which works for me!

After deciding to try Phiremod, and then deciding to switch back to Honeycomb, my calendar disappeared and I couldn't get it working again. I have NEVER been able to get ADB to work correctly on any of my computers, nor had any of my computers find an ADB Device in the Device manager despite my numerous attempts of the USB driver installs and NUMEROUS web posting on people having problems with ADB connections.
So after reformatting and reinstalling and re-nootering five different times without success, I FINALLY found my personally working answer with a combination of several peoples/posts help.
I uninstalled the SDK, Java, etc.
I downloaded/installed nookcolor-easyADB on my XP computer. (File on Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10534981&postcount=1 )
I installed one of the ADB wireless widgets from the Market.
I copied the files within the zip file to the directory C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (ZIP on POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11982209&postcount=702 )
I opened the wireless widget, and quickly wrote down the IP and port it gave me.
I open the DOS prompt, and typed "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]
Then typed "adb connect the [IP Addressort]" [enter]
IT CONNECTED!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
Then I typed "HoneyGCalInstall"
It did its thing and I FINALLY got my calendar back and syncing correctly!
What a LONG week! If only I was like NORMAL people, this would have been MUCH, MUCH easier!
