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
Hey guys, just got me a dell streak 7 with android 3.2. I really wanna root it, but I've read the instructions posted in the other threads & its just not making sense, can someone explain it easier? ON how to put the clockworkmod image on a sd card, etc...?
Thanks!
1. Download Fastboot+ADB.zip
2. UNzip the file and copy the whole folder to C:\
3. Assuming the name of the Field u unzipped is "Fastboot+ADB", rename thsi folder to ADB (I only rename the folder for simplicity when enter the path in command promt) also do some reading on how to install ADB
4. Now go to Start> Run. enter CMD in RUN
5. that should open a command prompt defaulted to C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
6. Now in Command prompt change directory to ADB folder (if u renamed folder in step 3) or Fastboot+ADB(if u didnt rename folder in step 3)
you initial path would be C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\ADB \tools (if u renamed folder in step 3) and hit enter
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\Fastboot+ADB\tools(if u didnt rename folder in step 3) and Hit enter
7. now your path would be C:\ADB \tools
8. C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe (hit enter, that should give some commands that u can use with fastboot ).
9.Copy the File Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 recovery.img(rename this to recovery.img) and superuser7.zipon to root directory of the internal Streak 7
10. now get your streak into Fastboot mode (look at Setting up fastboot for Windows -XDA wiki)
11. Connect your streak to computer and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (sample what it looks like i command prompt C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img) and hit enter
12. u should some messages on your streak something like writing recover.img(the process dosent take no longer than 1 min MAX)
13. now open the SDcarf slot cover and do reset pushing into the pinhole next to SD card reader. teh streak will be turned off and with thsi your device should be CMW enabled
Rooting:
1. assuming your device is turned off, get the device into recover mode (see wiki how to get streak into recovery) and select update from update.zip(user volume rocker to navigate up and won and power button to select )
2. then after quick 2 secs that should give additional options (cant recall options as I don't have my streak with me right now) select the option where it says like Internal memory and navigate to update.zip and select the file. process would run for quick min or so and now once u see the process has complete select option to reboot device and that's it u are done.
Move this to Generic section, should not be in DEV
Thanks for your help... It took me a bit... But it all worked out.. now to try some ICS...

hey, i have an issue while using fastboot. apparently i am missing the drivers, and my DS7 and PC never get to communicate while my DS7 is in fastboot mode. I unzipped the fastboot plus drivers on my pc, and even tried to point via divice manager on PC, still not able to communicate. What do you think?
PC : AMD althon 64. Win7pro 64;

Tried everything
Installed drivers so I can see my streak on my computer. But everytime I go to fastboot I get a ? fastboot when I type the devices command, and when I try to flash recovery says it can't find recovery. I'm running the stock honeycomb right now and would like to start trying some new roms. Any help would be appreciated.

Umm where are we getting the update.zip file that is referred to in the last paragraph? And what if CWM isn't mounting the SDcard or internal memory?
So iam running bo 2.0.1 with cwm 5.5.0.4. Tried to update to cwm 6 touch by replacing cwm image in pretty much all the aio's.. it'll either say it pushed and still reboot into old cwm or I'll get permission denied on /data/local/temp/sh and mmcblk14 even after giving them all read write and execute permission. Can someone help me get this on my revo? Maybe a guide to do it with adb? It would be much appreciated..... sorry if this is posted in wrong section... I wasn't sure where it would be seen by the dev 's who can help
All I had to do was use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630821
After you unzip that file, download the CWM 6.0.0.0 img file and rename it cwmrecovery.img and replace the one in /files. Then run the Run Me.bat and select option 2 - it says Root and CWM 5.5.0.4, but since you replaced the img file it'll push the one you want. Make sure your phone is in Internet Connection more and turn on USB Debugging. I hope that works!

The same exact way I've done it. Numerous times with no success. It said it pushed but reboot back into 5.5.0.4
Anyone else have this problem? How can I achieve this with adb or file explorer... the method posted just isn't pushing the image...
To do it from within the phone... (Insert the usual disclaimers here about messing your phone up here. It's all you from here on out)
You can open up the .bat batch file of one of the rooting tools that have CWM install scripting.
Copy the commands they perform in preparation for the procedure. Remove adb shell and push from the commands as you will be doing this from inside the phone, not via adb. I think you might have to remove some open/close quotation marks too, unnecessary from the terminal prompt.
Rename the new CWM file to match the command prompt change the command to match the new CWM filename.
Move that file to the expected location (/local/tmp if I recall correctly).
Use app Terminal Emulator to create a terminal windows and type su and Press enter. That will get superuser access.
Then, issue the commands you took note of from the batch file.
Reboot to Recovery to test if successful.
I used this basic process to get CWM on after rooting stock ZV9 a few weeks ago. Combing through a couple different batch scripts, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to bork my phone. The adb remount command doesn't seem to work after rooting for some reason. That seems to be the cause of adb failure to update CWM.
If you get into trouble, I can't help you much there as I'm not that advanced. Good luck.
Anyone else with tips please chime in and help the chap :beer:

I saw a lot of threads asking for instructions on how to use ADB to reboot into recovery, Push/Pull Files, etc, etc.
Just follow this guide to set up ADB in 5 seconds WITHOUT THE ANDROID SDK.
This ADB setup is less than one MB and no need to download the entire useless (for us, anyway) Android SDK.
1. Extract the Mini ADB archive attached below to any folder.
2. Just use the RunME.bat file to open a console directly in the ADB folder, so you can get started directly without the cd command!
To reboot into recovery:
Extract, Open RunMe.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
That easy.
Just make sure to have LG Phone Drivers installed beforehand.

When you have bootloops:
Remove battery.
Re insert.
Connect phone to computer using USB.
Try to turn on phone, when bootanimation keeps looping,
run the runme.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
Done
And remember to press thanks

You can use adb also to install applications from your pc. I keep copies of my apks on windows machine - sending via usb and installing from phone is a tedious task (mounting usb, copying file, unmounting, waiting for sdcard scanning, navigating to apk file, installing). Just type:
adb install -r name.apk
USB debugging should be on.
I've created a batch and registry entry so I just make right click on apk and choose "install to sd" or "install to phone"

That's just one thing adb can do! Apart from reebooting normally and recovery, You can push/pull files to/from any folder, you can take logcats, and on ics, you can use adb to even take phone backups!
Also, could you share the bat and registry file? Looks interesting.
Sure, I'll post it here in the evening (in 4 hours)
Yup it would be really very useful and if someone has something to share related to adb please do so... it would be really very usefull for all ob users.

I could add it to the OP. With credits of course....
Ok, here you go:
the scripts assume that adb.exe is extracted to e:\MiniADB\
download attachments and remove .txt extension from them.
put scripts install.bat and install_tel.bat to e:\MiniADB and run (double click and confirm in Vista/W7/W8 to run as administrator) apk_install.reg.
After that you will get two options in context menu for apk files:
Install in phone
Install in SD card
First option will install application in phone's memory, second in sd card. If application is already installed, it will be overwritten.
If you wish to put MiniADB somewhere else you have to:
modify install.bat and install_tel.bat and replace e:\MiniADB\ with your path
modify apk_install.reg and replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with your path but remember to make all \ doubled \\
Example:
if you want to put MiniADB into c:\Android\MiniADB then replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with c:\\Android\\MiniADB\\ in a .reg file
Those scripts are for Windows only. I'm not sure if it works for Windows NT/9x as registry file format was changed as I remember.
Edit:
USB debugging must be on in a phone to adb work properly. Phone must be connected to computer
Sorry for delay

Hey guys,
I done ****ed it all up.
Was in my TWRP recovery on my One, was wiping the phone to prepare for a new rom. Unfortunately, I was stupid and didn't realize that I was formatting it instead of wiping it. Now, I have a useless chunk of beautiful metal.
I can get into TWRP, but cant really do anything from there. It wont connect to my PC ( I dont see it under My Computer ) so I cant move any roms over to flash. I feel like I'm missing something very simple here.
Any ideas?
Adb sideload from recovery, advanced option.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Dont panic as pablo11 have said, you can use adb sideload to sideload a rom.
Boot into twrp go to advanced, then adb sideload and swipe then on your computer open a command line where you have your folder for rooting the htc one (where fastboot is etc) and put the ROM you want to flash in that folder and type adb sideload ROM.zip and you should be good to go!
ADB Sideload
What is ADB*sideload?
ADB*sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP*recovery in Jelly Bean.* As of version 2.3, TWRP*now supports ADB*sideload mode.* ADB*sideload is a different ADB*mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer.* Most likely*ADB*sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB*sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.
How do I*use ADB*sideload?
Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB*sideload like TWRP*2.3 or higher
Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer.* If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platform-tools from*the Android*SDK.* You will need version 1.0.29 or higher.* You can find your current version by typing*"adb version" at the command line.
Set the device into ADB*sideload mode. In TWRP*you do this by going to Advanced then ADB*Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page.* It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device.* As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed.* When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB*mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.
