NOTE: Before you can install ROM Manager, you must have ROOT access. You can find one such method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
If you were unable to flash_recovery to your phone, you can now install ROM Manager with the method that I found:
Download the attached ROM Manager apk file.
Copy/cut the file to your SDK folder [ex: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools]
Connect your HTC Hero (CDMA) into your PC and make sure you are on the "CHARGE ONLY" setting.
Open command prompt on your PC (or Terminal)
Find the path to your SDK files
Type in the command: adb install rom manager 2.5.0.7.apk
Let the program install and SUCCESS!
This is my first official contribution. If you liked my work, please give a THANKS! If I've broken some rule, please show me the error in my ways. Thanks guys! :laugh:

Sometimes i flash a new rom and there is no internet so i have to find a place where i can get 3g or wifi and download file manager and install my backup. So is there a way to install mybackup which is in my root and without downloading file manager??
There is a way with a computer. Assuming you have a working adb on your computer, of course, you can try this.
You need to have an .apk of either mybackup of some file browser on your computer. Plug the phone in, open command prompt/console and type:
adb install path_of_apk_to_install
For example if your apk is called app.apk and is in C:\apks. Then type
adb install C:\apks\app.apk
yea i know we can install through adb but is there another way of installing without connecting internet or from my computer, is it possible through terminal??????????
You should be able to ope nterminal and do "install \sdcard\my_app.apk"
I hope this post can be of use to someone. My workplace is running Lotus Notes (sigh) and IBM recently released an update to their Traveler server which supports Activesync sychronizaton of mail, contacts, calendar and directory on Android, Iphone, etc.
The only problem is AT&T blocks Sideloading. Yes a simple root can fix the issue but that is not a true solution for every Captivate for our users. I figured out a relatively easy method of getting around this limitation.
First you need the following:
Rooted Captivate (to obtain the .apk files necessary) Only needed once, I would upload the necessary files but IBM won't like that very much.
Computer with Captivate drivers and Android SDK
The Lotus Traveler setup requires two installs which makes the process more tricky than simply doing an adb install lotusinstaller.apk, so we need a few more steps.
1. On your PC download the Lotusinstaller.apk file from your traveler server and copy it to you sdk\tools folder.
2. Plug your rooted Captivate phone into you computer with debugging mode on and use adb to issue the following command "adb install lotusinstaller.apk"
3. Open the installer application on your phone and enter the required server and authentication information for your system and click next. (this will create the server setting on the phone and download the lotustraveler.apk file to your rooted phone.) I can't remember the exact location so simply do an adb shell then "su" to gain super user rights and then do a find -name LotusTraveler.apk (or *.apk and find the lotustraveler.apk)
4. copy this file to your computer. One easy way would be to adb pull LotusTraveler.apk c:\location of sdk\tools\
Now that you have both the lotusinstaller.apk and lotustraveler.apk you will not need the rooted captivate for future phone setups.
5. Now to setup a stock Captivate. Enable usb debugging
6. adb install lotusinstaller.apk
7. launch the installer and enter the appropriate settings on the phone and click next. It will attempt to download the lotustraveler.apk and then give you an error about not being able to install applications that aren't from the market. Ignore that and close the installer.
8. now issues abd install lotustraveler.apk on your pc
You're done. The installer setup the initial server settings and the lotustraveler did the rest.
To setup more phones begin from step 5 from now on
***Disclaimer***
I wrote this up simply from memory so I'm sorry if this is not 100% accurate with the commands etc.
you could user the The Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine to put .apk's on the device and not need to root.
Just a thought.

Or just side load through ADB in a command window in windows. "adb install filename.apk" done.

I'll try the wonder machine first. thanks for that tip.
Your suggestion won't work as stated in my walkthrough. The initial apk downloads another apk to your phone somewhere in the system directory. Once you have both apk files it's a simple "adb install lotusinstaller.apk" then "adb install Lotustraveler.apk"
wonder machine causes the issue of not being able to install the second apk file as stated in my last post. It can replace adb install after you have both apk files on your computer.
I need to get the second file to install it on my non-rooted phone.
Does anyone know the location of the download on the phone so it can be pulled via adb?

just do
find -name LotusTraveler.apk
it will show you where the apk is located
Ok so Ive seen a few people posting in the dev section that they cant get adb working. So heres a quick write up on how to get it working on windows and linux (ubuntu) machines. Follow these directions and you should have no problems. If you notice any errors dont hesitate to point them out to me! This is meant to help, not confuse.
First you need to download ADB.
Click here and select the download appropriate for your operating system: Android SDK
For Windows:
1.Extract the .zip file you downloaded and make a note of where you extracted to.
2.Go into the extracted android-sdk_r12-windows folder.
(if you go into this folder and have another folder named 'android-sdk_r12-windows' then cut and paste it outside of the extracted folder)
3.Open SDK Manager. Let it do its thing and then make sure 'Select All' is checked and click 'Install'
4.When its done it will say ADB has been updated and needs to restart. Select OK.
5.Now go back to your android-sdk_r12-windows folder and you should have a new folder called 'platform-tools'
6.Go into that folder and you should see 'adb'
7.Now to make things easy you're going to create an adb shortcut:
Right click your desktop and choose to create a new shortcut.
It will ask you to type a location for the shortcut. Enter "CMD" without the "".
Click 'Next'
For the name type "ADB" without the "".
Now right click the shortcut you just created and select 'Properties'
Now in the Properties dialog where it says Start In, type the path to your Android SDK foler. In my case I extracted the folder to my desktop, so my path would be C:\Users\Jason\Desktop\android-sdk_r12-windows.
Then click 'OK'
Now all you have to do is click this shortcut and you're automatically in adb in the command prompt.
For Linux:
Everything above is going to be pretty much the same except for the way you get into adb.
So do steps 1-6 above.
Now, instead of a shortcut you're going to open terminal and type the following:
sudo cp <path to your sdk platform-tools folder> /usr/bin
(for <path to your sdk platform-tools folder> it will depend on where you extracted the .zip to. In my case it would look like this because I extracted it to my desktop on MY computer:
sudo cp /home/jason/Desktop/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin
now you can access adb directly from Terminal.
Now I dont own a Mac so Im not going to put a writeup for that. But someone can feel free to post one and I can add it to my original post.
Thats it you now have access to adb on your computer! Go flash alternate recoveries and roms and be merry in 3D!
I am on my mobile app right now and haven't been able to find the link yet in the development section, but can pretty much guarantee that most ppl are having the issue I had with error messages about being denied BC u don't have permission. You have to change the permissions to get read and write access. If someone with better knowledge than me knows about it, then please feel free to elaborate. I spent hours trying to find answers before I stumbled across how to fix permissions. I know it requires u to enter adb shell and the into su to enter the code to change permissions so u can use adb push as well as adb root, etc. If no one addresses this shortly then I will find the link on my laptop and update.

Holy cow! I have a new found respect for developers. I wanted the adb tools just so I can flash CWM recovery. Now I'm having to download updated java and there's a ton of stuff to download for the SDK tools.
I'll have to admit that I loved my Captivate in how easy it was to flash CWM and roms and really anything else.
how can i do this if my phone is bricked stuck on lg logo
Having just spent the last few days reading, downloading, returning and cursing, and finally getting CM10.1 running on my NOOK HD from sdcard...working on a Windows 7 laptop...I thought I'd write up a few quick tips from my (limited) experience. Hopefully someone will find these helpful.
One
To get ADB working correctly...which you'll want to do...get the usb_driver_r04-windows.zip from the NOOK developer's site by following the instructions here. Connect the NOOK to your workstation first and let the OS try to detect and install the drivers. When it fails, open Device Manager, and look for the MTP device, which will have a warning icon next to it. Right-click it, click 'Update driver...' and use the "browse my computer" option for driver software, and use the location where you unzipped the drivers that you downloaded.
Install Java and the Android SDK. Instructions for what to download and how to install are here for Java, and here for the Android SDK. You can ignore the steps for configuring the PATH variable for Java, however you'll want to configure your PATH for the /tools and /platform-tools directories in the Android SDK. You can do this via the GUI but using cmd is easier: Open a cmd prompt as administrator, and type path /? for instructions
After adding the path, add the device ID to the adb_usb.ini file using the instructions here.
After adding the device ID, make sure ADB access is enabled on the NOOK using the instructions here, then verify connectivity by using the instructions here. Run adb kill-server, then disconnect your NOOK
Two
Burn the CWM image file to an sdcard (4GB or greater) using win32diskimager . The CWM image file is found in this thread. Key note: all CWM and CM files for the NOOK HD will have the -hummingbird prepend. You can also download the CM-10.1 image and appropriate gapps version for CM from this thread. Do so.
Pop the sdcard into the NOOK HD and reboot. Once the CWM menu appears, connect the NOOK to your laptop. Windows 7 will not see the device, so you will need to re-install the drivers. Open device manager, look for a device in the list called Barnes and Noble HD (or similar) with a warning icon nearby, right click, select 'Update drivers...', choose the 'Search for driver software on my computer' option and navigate back to the folder where you unzipped the drivers. You will be using the SAME drivers that you downloaded initially.
Once driver install is complete, mount the sdcard using the menu options in CWM. Push the CM-10.1 zip file and gapps.zip file you downloaded to the sdcard using the command adb push <filename> /sdcard.
Install the CM10-1 file first, using the CWM menu options. Reboot the device using the CWM menu after installing CM before installing gapps. According to the instructions in this thread, you don't have to, however, with the three installs I've done so far, for the two that have worked successfully I've rebooted before installing gapps.
That's it. Hopefully these tips will help someone else with a NOOK HD.
Hi all,
First of all I would like to say how awesome this site has been. I knew nothing about my first venture into rooting a phone so this has been a learning experience.
Right - now for those who have a HTC Incredible S and are looking to breathe some new life into this device (like I have purely for giving to my son to watch YouTube - so no calling, texting, etc) this is what I did (all information sourced from various threads on XDA and some external links as well):
1. Read through the following guide: {[GUIDE]} HTC Incredible S Unlock Bootloader, flash recovery, Root, S-OFF. Note: It appears that it is no longer possible to get S-OFF due to the Revolutionary site no longer existing. So you will have to stop at the end of Step 5.
2. Assuming you are using Windows 10 I had to do the following in order to successfully connect to the HTC Incredible S using fastboot/adb:
1. Install HTC Sync.
2. Once you have done this go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features then uninstall the HTC Sync program (the one with the sync icon) but leave the drivers etc installed.
3. Then download and install the Android SDK and update it as per the instructions https://www.andreszsogon.com/using-android-8-and-9-emulators-without-android-studio/
4. You then want to create a folder called C:\Android.
5. Now browse to the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and copy the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll files to C:\Android.
6. Now make the changes to the registry. Put this in a *.reg file (with your texteditor and rename the file to e.g. import.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
Then import that import.reg via regeditor (as admin) into your registry. Then reboot your computer.
7. Restart your PC.
8. If you are unlocking the bootloader for your HTC device - put the "fastboot.exe" file from the HTC Dev webpage (https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/) here as well. Also put any recovery mods, roms, etc here as well.
9. Make sure - if you can that - that you boot your phone normally and go into the settings and turn USB Debugging "ON" and Fastboot "Off" (the second one is you can get to the bootloader on your phone using the appropriate key combinations). You may also want to turn on the option to install apps from unknown sources. Power off your phone.
10. Now turn on your phone into Fastboot mode then connect it to the PC it should change to Fastboot USB.
11. Open a command prompt as administrator and browse to C:\Android. You should now be able to use the Fastboot command.

3. You should now be able to complete steps 2 - 5 from the guide.
4. For my HTC Incredible S I went with the following:
Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.0 (download it here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img)
Root obtained using SuperUser 3.1.3 (filename is Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39959468#post39959468)
Installed Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 for vivo (download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127020) [EDIT: You may or may not need to also install this patch for it as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38765296&postcount=493]
Installed Google Apps (Gapps) (download it here: https://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ Just scroll down until you get to Gapps CyanogenMod 10.1)
Thanks all!

Hi. Yeah, tried that.
While you can download the required zip file it doesn't let you generate the beta key required.
How about the solution posted here?
