So downloaded the zip extracted it and put it in the root of the c drive renamed it to android and downloaded the tools need i believe if someone could look over what i have installed and if its correct that would be helpful. Also i installed htc sync because i thought i might of been missing some drivers also im running windows 8. Anyways when i run adb devices in cmd i get adb is not a command

You need to add the folder containing adb to your PATH to be able to run it from anywhere.

What does "adb devices" show?
If it's detecting your phone, it should show something like:
Code:
List of connected devices
xxxxxxxxx device
If not, try rebooting your phone and computer.

C:\android>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\android>
reboot didnt fix it
EDIT got it lol i feel dumb it was C:\android\platform-tools anyways thank you for the help haha
What folder did you add to your path? You need to the folder that immediately contains adb.
If your folders are like this:
C:\
---android
-----platform-tools
--------adb.exe
Then you would add the platform-tools folder.

im not sure, im not very familiar with ADB
I'm pretty new to this, but seems to me you are trying to open the adb that psouza includes with his tools. (If not, then just ignore me)
that's not gonna work for what you are trying to do. i think you need to download the android sdk to get adb working.

i am using the one in the SDK, i have it on my c drive in the correct spot but it still closes itslef
Are you clicking it like an icon or running it from a DOS prompt? It is to be run from the command line as it is a dos/command line program..
Ie.. at the c:\android-sdk-x86\platform_tools\ prompt you type adb and what you want to do.
Adb push or adb pull or adb shell, etc. Just adb will give some command options

First you have to open an elevated command prompt. Do this by clicking the start icon, then typing in "cmd" (without the quotes of course) and then right clicking the only thing that pops up and choosing Run As Administrator. After doing this, you need to know where you folder that contains ADB is at. To find this easily, click Start and then click Computer and in the explorer window that just popped up, type in "adb.exe". That will show you where your adb files are at.
Continuing on, for an example, my adb stuff is in C:\root stuffz. So in the command prompt I would type in "cd c:\root stuffz" and then hit enter. After that, I can then do my adb commands, such as "adb shell", "adb push", "adb pull", etc...
Edit: Make sure you have your drivers installed for the phone. Also, make sure the phone is in debug mode and charge only. This should just about cover most of the absolute basics of getting your phone recognized by adb. I'm not too sure if I missed anything, and one of the other more experienced peeps on here can prob give you more detailed information lol.
I'm having a crapload of trouble with adb and fastboot. I've been searching for the last few hours but to no avail. I've downloaded multiple drivers and tried to do everything i can to setup the adb and fastboot. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked and its rooted and usb debugging is enabled. Every time i type "adb devices" into a command prompt it says that adb is not a valid command etc. What the heck am i doing wrong and why is this supposedly simple process so difficult here?? Please help...
Did you use the "cd" command to change the directory to where the platform-tools folder is?
That's assuming you have the Android SDK and Java Dev Kit (JDK) installed already..

Does that install the tools in the Windows equivalent of "$PATH" so users don't have to cd to the tools' location.
And do you mind if I link to this in my how-to guide? Credit will be given to you and your team of course.

Yep. U can do it I'm happy to share this tools with other users :good:
About the location, I set the installation path to C:\Windows so it means that it can be used as an windows services whenever u call it on cmd. No needs to set the location.
For example: If users use command "adb devices", it will work immediately and show the result. However when they want to decompile an apk and put file in a folder named "X", it's needed to use cd command to set the location in cmd to "X" then use adb/apktool/fastboot as normal without having adb/apktool/fastboot files in "X" folder. It helps to define the location of apk file, not the apktool/adb/fastboot.
Hope u can understand my idea =.= Sometimes, my explanation is really not good becoz English is not my mother language

That's what I thought it did. I was going to do something similar, but I couldn't remember if the correct folder was and I was just too lazy to do the research and find out. I was thinking System32, but its been so long that I couldn't remember.
Ok so on my HTC One I loaded TWRP recovery and had a rom installed. I wanted to wipe it out and reinstall a newer version of the rom, and in the process I thought I had a "virtual SD" that wouldn't be wiped out. Boy was I wrong. Now I can get into TWRP and I am reading about "adb sideload" to load a rom zip file to the phone.
I have Windows 8 and I used the trick of installing Windows 7 drivers, but now for some reason the computer shows "Android Device" with an exclamation point. I google'd and found a Windows 8 HTC driver, and now the device shows up "Android USB Devices - MyHTC". So it appears I have drivers installed.
Now I read tutorials and have been searching for hours and I cannot get this to work. I have the ADB Fastboot folder on my desktop and the rom I want to load in that folder. I bring up the command prompt and type in "adb devices". It returns with this:
List of devices attached
FA34PS904380 host
I type in (without quotes) "adb sideload rom.zip" which is in the same directory. It returns with all the possible commands (like a help menu) of how you can use adb.
I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks

Unfortunetly there is no instantaneous way to see if adb is enabled and you will be required to install the relevant tools to know.
1. Download and install the Samsung USB Drivers from http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Android-USB-Driver-for-Windows
2. Download and install minimal adb and fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 - thanks to shrimp208 for providing us with this so we don't have to install the whole SDK.
3. Run cmd and change directory to the location of adb.exe (e.g. cd C:\users\admin\downloads\apt), run 'adb.exe start-server' then 'adb.exe devices' to see if your phone has adb running.
If adb is running you can copy files from you're phone's file system to your pc with 'adb pull' (e.g. adb pull adb pull
/data/app C:\users\admin\downloads\apt).
Best of luck

That is your device id, this means you should be able to recover your files.
Initiate 'adb.exe shell' and it should automatically select your device. You can then navigate using the 'cd' command to change directory and 'ls' to list all files/folders in that directory. After finding the files you can pull them from your device to your computer

I'm glad I could help, praise the ADB. Hit thanks if you wish
Ok there is a lot info about this however I have a few issues that makes it difficult for me to get past.
I unlocked and rooted just fine. No issues.
I flashed the elemental kernel as I wanted the knock on feature. That was when I ran into problems and my backup doesn't work.
I started getting the "com.htc.htcdailer" isn't responding issue. Then the phone reboots. I am not up long enough to load a rom to flash either.
When I try to sideload anything it doesn't work. I did update all the SDK files like I found in some searches. No go.
I am at a loss now what to do. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Boot into TWRP, download this driver:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Connect it to your PC in TWRP mode to your computer and Windows Device Manager, update the driver pointing to the one downloaded.
It should install with out an issue and the device should be detected thru ADB. Now all you need to do is push the rom via ADB. I recommend Cyanogenmod as its very small to push. I cannot quite remember the command to push a file as it can be complicated in the folder parts, but use this to push easily:
http://skipsoft.net/download/toolkit/nexus7toolkit/Google_Nexus_7_ToolKit_v5.0.0.exe
Ignore the fact that it's for the Nexus 7. Once it's installed, navigate to My Computer, click your hard drive and you should see a folder called Nexus 7 toolkit or similar (if not there check in Program Files). Look for an exe called "tkmain" and create a shortcut of it on your desktop. Keep that folder section open for now. Double click it. MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE YOUR DEVICE SERIAL ON TOP TO ASSURE ITS CONNECTED. Now go to the same folder you saw the tkmain.exe and you should see a folder that says "Put Files to Push here". Drop the rom in there. I recommend naming it something short like "cyanogen.zip" for example. Now back on the toolkit, select the option that says Push file (I think it's option 13), answer Yes to the insecure boot image question, when it says select a file to push you should see the name of the rom zip , type it exactly as its name/you renamed it. When it says select a location, select /sdcard/ and proceed with the rest. It may seem like nothing is going on, and it may say something about "failed: success" beforehand, but trust me it's pushing, once it says complete, your ready to flash the rom.
Remember that if your S-Off, you need to flash the boot.img seperately via fastboot.

The ROM must be in the folder that says "put files to push here" (make sure its that folder as I remember that another one seems similarly worded) from the toolkit program directory. You have to manually place your file there. If anything, close the toolkit and reopen it (remember, tkmain, the other section of the program is all Nexus related) and try again. Remember also to shorten the name so you don't have to type it in completely. Somewhere above where your supposed to type the file name you should see your ROM file. That's when you type it in exactly as you see it, for example, "rom.zip" you will type it in exactly like that.

Do you have an adb/fastboot folder set up? If so, time for some manual method. Grab the ROM zip and put it in the same folder as your ADB and fastboot folder. Start adb thru command prompt then type in:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /storage/sdcard
Hopefully I remembered it correctly. Should be that way.

Lol i misread that disregard the rest. What custom kernel are you trying to use? Remember each device is the same but also different. I had 2 LG G2s that would not double tap to wake, but would double tap to sleep. All the rest of them worked perfectly. Have also came across friends with G2s that wouldnt work

Best way is to flash the kernel in my signature. After you flash it, double tap to wake should be working automatically.
