Just wondering if I have installed adb correctly I can open my command prompt using windows vista and type adb devices and I get my serial number displayed as a connected device does this confirm and is working? Thanks for your help! Completely new to this.

As far as I know that does mean you have it installed and running correctly.

I agree, that would tell me it's installed correctly. Shell into your phone. If you can do that, you should be all set. Directions for shelling into your phone can be found in the forums. If you can't find them, let me know and I'll help you out. We all have to start somewhere. Lol!

Once you

You shouldn't need to type adb shell again bc ur already in it...
it would also help us to help you to know what you are trying to do with ADB shell... being that you are rooted, what else do you need to do with it?

assuming your screen looked like this...
$adb shell

...and changed from $ to # when you did it, you're good. also, it showing as a device was a good indicator too.

[REQ]clockworkmod touch

Clockworkmod just released touch recovery 6.0.1.5. I know you can download it from their site but I can't find a way to do so(when I click download I just see a page with lots of characters). Can anyone zip it so that we can get this awesome recovery love for p990?

As already mentioned, you can do it using ROM Manager. Otherwise, flash IMG file via cmd line, either from a PC:
Code:
adb push XXX.img /data/local/
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/XXX.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7'"
adb shell rm /data/local/XXX.img
...or in terminal on the phone itself under su, once you copy the file somewhere on an SD card:
Code:
dd if=/path_to_file/XXX.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Just replace "path_to_file" and "XXX" with the actual path and filename.

It's Android Debug Bridge. Basically, it's a command line interface from your PC to your phone. Think of a terminal emulator that you run on the phone itself. ADB is pretty much the same, but from a PC. It is part of Android SDK. You can also find it included in many installation packages posted here on XDA, e.g. CWM recovery. There is an executable and a couple of DLLs.

Not sure how to do this? run abd.exe? it just showed me a cmd window which runs and then dissapears.

If you got your phone rooted or want to test it run adb.exe shell the type su and hit enter. If the prompt change from $ to # you have root access

What is likely to be the problem if it says SU permission denied?

If you are on stock, that means that you have no root access. If you have cm10 or cm10.1 you have to enable adb root access somewhere in the settings. I am sorry but I can not tell you at the moment where to enable it because I am on stock right now.

Thanks Bro for this information

Adding ROMs to completely empty phone.

I stupidly showed my teenage son how to use ROM Manager and CWM on my phone.
He has now completely deleted (and I feel formatted) ALL Data etc on the phone.
So, as I cannot use any software on my MAC to transfer ROMs to the phone CAN Someone please advise how to get a ROM on the phone?
I can still access CWM Recovery. I have Android SDK installed, including Eclipse.
Please remember I am using a MAC, when you helpfully pass on ideas or solutions

Go to adb and fastboot folder, boot into recovery and use the command from terminal:
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /sdcard/
.
Remember to put the rom into adb/fastboot folder

Hey, thank you.
I will try that soon

Hmm, trouble getting this done
I keep getting "command not found" message. Everything is in the folder.
I have done a CD to the folder etc

Try 'adb devices' and see if it sees your device
Type exactly the command you're typing to try push your ROM so we can see if you've made a slight mistake...

Its much easier on a Mac. Have you downloaded the adb and fastboot files? Once you have those, navigate to their folder using cd in Terminal, add the rom zip and then use
Code:
./adb push rom.zip /data/media/

I've seen this happen on my friend's HTC One a week ago. I was able to fix it by using the ALL IN ONE TOOL that was posted in this forum. I SIDELOADED a ROM, but only AFTER flashing the stock Boot.img and kernel. I dunno if this helps, but it certainly fixed the problem for me.... oh and also, I did this on a Windows 7 lappy and I'm not familiar with Macs.

Can you give me the link for the AllInOne Tools etc and where to download the Stock Kernel etc and how you did the side load.
Seems the SDK ADB is not working for me. Fastboot obviously is. This is all really strange

When you use the command make sure your in cwm not fastboot.
So go into cwm then use command that you said before

Thanks. I had been in CWM earlier, and the same as just now, when I try ./adb devices ... while in CWM, terminal returns no listing of devices.
It seems to me that ADB does work, as it identifies the "daemon is out of date" and restarts it successfully.
It is just that ADB does not recognise the HTC One, whilst "Fastboot devices" does, while not in fast boot usb.
I am still lost. CWM works. ADB cannot connect ...
Help

[REQUEST] (4.4.2) NAE System, Modem nandroid/dumps

Here's what I need so that I can update things like Firmware packages, ROM files, mods, etc...
This is all assuming they didn't break our ability to root and/or use a custom recovery
This is already done:
First ensure you're on the NAE update. (Duh)
Root it
Enable USB Debugging, connect to PC with adb setup and do the following:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos of=/data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mdm of=/data/local/tmp/mdm.bin
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin
adb pull /data/local/tmp/mdm.bin
It's possible they don't allow writing to /data/local/tmp, you might just use /sdcard instead. (so change of=/data/local/tmp/x.bin to of=/sdcard/x.bin) but being in su should grant you access to do whatever.
You'll have two files (apnhlos.bin and mdm.bin), zip those up, upload them somewhere and send them to me.
I still need this
Next for the system file(s) I need...
First ensure you're on the NAE update. (Duh)
Wipe it to full stock, no mods, no personal apps, no accounts setup, nothing.
Flash recovery
Boot to recovery and do a Nandroid backup to your external sd card.
Boot back to system and copy off the file(s) called system.ext4.img or something to the extent of that, it should be SOMEWHERE on your external sd card, TWRP stores it in the TWRP folder somewhere, CWM stores them in some clockworkmod folder somewhere I believe.
I need all the system image files from the backup, it'll be huge an upwards of 2-3GB, and it might split them into multiple files, so there might be more than one system file in that backup folder. I need them all, zip them up again and upload them somewhere and send the link to me please.
Thanks!
Also, if someone has the update file, that'd by slightly helpful as well, but the other two are more important.

OTA file name is:
8069446ccb676c347a698e64b2df33882547f017.USER_L720 _SPT_MK2_CSB_user_RP_to_NAE_CSB_user_RP_Update_FWD .zip

You hit enter after each line. In this exact order:
Type adb shell Then hit enter.
Type su Then hit enter.
Type dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos of=/data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin Then hit enter.
Type dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mdm of=/data/local/tmp/mdm.bin Then hit enter.
Type exit Then hit enter.
Type adb pull /data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin Then hit enter.
Type adb pull /data/local/tmp/mdm.bin Then hit enter.
After which, you'll follow the rest of the instructions in the OP.
