n1 issues

hi everyone, im new to these forums. i want to love my n1, but cant. my service is horrible here in miami florida. so bad that tmobile keeps giving me free months of service instead of a solution.
i was told about holding the phone a certain way, but its so unnatural. but i understand that a few firmware updates helped out the signal issues. me and my sons nexus ones are fluctuating 20-50 dB's at a time.
so i try to root using the cyanogen wiki's instructions. the second i type in adb devices into my windows 7 cmd window, i get the following. "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"
i repeated the steps in the wiki and have no idea what i am doing wrong.
can anyone assist please?
Mod, if i posted in the wrong section i am sorry; feel free to move thread.
thanks all!

Here bro, this might help... "How to set up adb"

Did you run the adb command from the sdk directory?

You need to download the SDK and use the adb from the SDK directory....

No I used the windows cmd window. I saw the android cmd window but it wouldn't let me type in it. Was I supposed to type in the android window?

Before you go and unlock the phone and install cyanogen, are you sure you want to go down that road? I don't think there are any reception improvements in any of the custom ROMs, so if that's what you are hoping for you might be disappointed.
You may lose your warranty if you do it, and you are going to permanently lose the over-the-air upgrade system that Google uses to push upgrades out with.

You need to read up a lot more on how your computer works, and directory structures, and cmd windows and all that. If you are already confused you could just end up breaking your phone. First thing is to install the SDK. Get that done, then read some more, etc. Do it slowly.

Thanks for the heads up. The sdk is definately installed.
I heard that the other radios perform better. I need a miracle, I drop 60% of my calls according to tmo. So does my sons n1's. My daughters cliq and wife's bold9700 are always on 3g

What Baseband version do you have installed on your phone? It's under Settings -> About phone.
You should be running the newest radio firmware already I would think.

I don't know it off the top of my head. But its definately current.

Well if you want to check it out, I believe "32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2" is the newest. If that's what your phone has then I don't think there is any value in unlocking.
An update from Google should be coming or announced before the end of the month, so maybe it'll have some fixes for you. If not, than at that point I would go ahead and unlock it.

i went ahead and successfully unlocked the boot loader. im trying to load the recovery.img via a terminal app on my phone but i get a message saying permission denied. i heard that there was a way of loading the recovery.img through rom manager, so i tried it.i got a message saying an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands.
any ideas?
thanks!

seems like i dont have superuser.....

Yup, when I type su in terminal I get a message telling me that I don't have those privaleges. Any ideas? I'm Googling but can't find results.

i find the instructions in here relatively newb friendly. But read all carefully before rushing into action.

CM ROM (if that is what you would like to have)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496
and... do all the above first, before you mess with the radio image. all over the above is relatively safe/cannot brick your phone but wrongly flashing radio image can brick your phone permanently (especially if you run out of power or pull the battery during the radio update process)

Thanks. I'm er27. Do I flash with or without himen?

to make it very simple, i'd just recommend first:
1) flash Amon_Ra's recovery image 1.70 (i sent you the link earlier)
2) flash Cyanogen CM5.0.6 (I sent you the link earlier)
3) flash CM's google-addon (on the same page)
CM5.0.6 includes Himem, no need to flash separately.
See how it goes.... THEN you can try flashing radio to EPE54B, but please read all related to that careful. the command is simple, but if you pull your battery during the update, or the phone runs out of power, or you otherwise try to interrupt the process, your phone WILL BE permanently broken. Sometimes the radio update takes a long while (15 min or so), and it seems unresponsive, then you have 2 automatic reboots - those moments can be frightening. best would be to leave the phone plugged into the power socket while you doing it

ok so I did something really dumb...

ok so here's what I did to royally screw up things on my tablet. I had installed the latest Streakdroid ROM and wasn't getting any data connection at all though it showed on the taskbar at the top that I did. I decided I was going to follow the steps in the thread that had the instructions on how to bring back to factory settings so I can start fresh. I had gotten to the part where I was about to execute the fastboot command and my computer never detected that the tablet was hooked up at that point. Now when I go into recovery, I have the stock recovery loader that dell put in and the streakdroid rom's wifi doesn't work so I can't do anything at all. not even download a file explorer to install the rom manager or anything...i'm afraid that I've really screwed things up. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reflash cwr. Then flash another rom you flash a stock build that wiped cwr and replaced it with stock. Your fine.

alright so I managed to use nvflash to restore it and it worked. I still have a problem with data but I'm thinking now it's more of an issue with T-Mobile than it is my tablet. wifi works fine.

[Q] One Last Attempt Before I Terminate :-)

Backdrop:
1) Phone from a friend took over his contract.
2) Attempted to reset to default
3) Phone will only boot to CWM 4.0.0.2
Tried:
1) All parts of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19154278
The 'tot' files would not install, got 'block count' errors
2) Found mtmichaelson's RevoZV7GBStock.zip... It had a successful install (yay) but it still boots to CWM (boo)
3) Grabbed mtmichaelson's GingerVolt 2.0, downloaded it, it successfully installed (yay) but booted to CWM (boo)
4) Also have used LGPNST with no success
Conclusion: HELP!!
I can install certain ROMs but it is as if the bootloader does not doesn't load. Maybe something needs to be set, like Windows needs that "Primary Disk - Boot" information...
I have 7 days, and then I'm paying my termination fee before the next bill date.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks everyone!

Fastboot Stuck on "waiting for device"

Hi Guys,
I'm aware this is not uncommon but Ive never encountered anything like this before. Im trying give my htc one a fresh wipe and return back to stock, but I cant for the life of me get fastboot to recognize my phone. Therefore I cannot relock the bootloader.
Ive tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling driveres in bigdaddys pack - between pc reboots
Ive tried koushs driveres install and uninstall - between pc reboots
My usb ports are 2.0 and not 3.0
Debugging is enabled.
Im in fastboot (its highighted in red) on bootloader screen.
Im still s-on
EDIT: I also removed HTC SYNC
All of this and still nothing. Im wondering now if Im not running the command correctly, but im pretty sure its "fastboot oem lock"?
My only other thought is that I ran vipers rom for a while but then did full wipe and then ran a cm based rom (Avater). I noticed this messed with the partition on the phone, hence why im trying to return to stock and bring partition back to normal.
Any advice or sugestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks, I checked and I have quite a few updates, might be on to something because I noticed a few usb driver updates required too. However, as per murphys law, for some reason the "install" button for all the updates is faded out and unclickable. I feel like my mother trying to click the unclickable. I checked the agreements and agreed but it wont let me update? If worse comes to worse, i can try reinstall the whole thing but that seems a little drastic.

Go into device manager on your pc and erase all HTC drivers, then plug in your phone, it should start reinstalling drivers...from there you should be good.
