Trying to learn ADB functions! Need some help!

I am trying to learn how to use ADB, so I can find the cause of a problem I am having on every 2.xx Rom I have tried, and I have tried them all!
So take a look at the screen shot, and you can see it finds my phone. For some reason thats as far as I have gotten, been screwing with it for 2 days but alas I have to ask!
Thanks for any help you can be!

OK, at a quick glance....
Instead of just typing "logcat", try "adb logcat". I think you'll have better luck.
Still looking through the rest, will edit in a few minutes.
EDIT 1: Don't actually put the "#" or the "$" on your command line. Those are prompts that the shell presents to you, not something you're supposed to type.
EDIT 2: Add the sdk\tools directory to your path. It will make your life much easier. You can get away with just doing a "cd" to that directory, but in the long run things will be much easier if you just put it in your path.
EDIT 3: "Operation not permitted"????? That command should have worked. Have you rooted your phone yet?

do adb "insert command here" logcat push pull install etc...

Cool thanks for the help subliminalurge, I think I got it now!
Now to start my bluetooth headphones with 1.5 and grab a log, then load up 2.1 and grab a log and see what the HELL is wrong!
Thanks again!

One last question, is it possible to save a whole string from CMD!
Also how do you do a dalvik wipe?
These are the 2 commands I have! Not sure if either one work or not!
DALVIK WIPE:
adb remount
adb shell
# cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
# rm *
adb reboot recovery
adb shell mount /data
adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

I havent used adb since rooting my g1, since the release of the flashrec method.
Heres my noob question
Can terminal emulator do the same things as adb?
The only thing id ever use adb for is to push/pull, and i just use root explorer for that.
Jesus, youd think i became a senior just by spamming...

Terminal Emulator can not do the same thing as ADB. ADB is Android Developer Bridge (bridge as in computer to phone connection). Terminal Emulator, if you know Linux terms, emulates a Linux terminal on the phone... so, if you do "adb shell", you'll have the same commands as you would in terminal emulator... sorry I'm confusing

Lol i see what you mean.
You need adb to theme, dont you?
Windows man, through and through
(oh the irony, of being such an android patron...)

Terminal Emulator??? Access "adb shell"???

how do i use the terminal emulator app to access adb shell?

adb shell is only used when you're on a computer, like when using android sdk tools. When you use the terminal emulator you use different commands try This Link for some help using the terminal emulator, they're basically the same as linux commands.
also this should be in the Q&A section

lol the terminal is the 'shell'
if you're running a terminal right on the phone, then consider yourself already @root when you're typing in commands.

Sort of. You are a user, but not "root". To become superuser you have to use the SU command.
/ $ su

I'm sorry if I'm nitpicking here. Your original point remains true. You don't have to use ADB at that point to run commands. You run the command without ADB right in the terminal.

No, you're fine. I was just assuming that he was already rooted, but you're right - it's a regular user account unless you change to superuser.

in order to do what you probably want you will have to type su. It should then ask for SU permission and then you should gey

[Q] Is there a way to access root from PC?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to access root in a sgs connected to a pc by a cable?

Just type "su" in adb prompt...
Need rooted sgs.

Thanks for quick anwser,
That's obvious but how do i explore the root directory? What are the commands? Is there an equivalent of linux "cd", "ls" and such?

Both CD and ls will work. Remember, android is based on Linux.

Now I can see but the command I was looking for was "adb shell"

Linux Shell commands to install extension packets

Hi everyone,
i am very thankful for every help i get...so thanks in advance.
My problem is, that i need to install new shell commands (like another version of "sed"), but i do not know how to achieve this. Using Ubuntu you just use apt-get. But how does this work in the shell (terminal emulator or via ssh or adb) of Android-Linux.
So thanks again for any help..i m really desperate about this subject, since i want to use a few more commands than given in the shell of Android-Linux.
Greetings

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.

Sorry, but i know what it is now, how do i run it though? im trying to follow the htc desire hd guide to root my phone, which everything is done up until the point i have to test that i have root in debug mode. 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.
