[HOW-TO] Setting up ADB - The Tutorial For WINDOWS USERS...

SETTING UP ADB FOR WINDOWS USERS
The example shown in the video tutorial is running Windows 7. XP, Vista should run the same way.
1) Download the SDK program for your OS Here..
2) Download the latest Java Platform if you don’t have an updated version.
3) The SDK program will download in a .zip file. Extract that file somewhere easily accessible [like your desktop!]
4) You should now have a folder on your desktop with a name: android-sdk-windows
5) Drag that folder into the root of your HD…
The pathway should be something like: Computer > Local Disk ( C: ) > android-sdk-windows
6) make SURE to install the USB driver package in SDK... this way your device will be recognized when running adb commands later on...
Now that you have placed the SDK program there you can run ADB commands. But you need to run them Manually. Most people go into the tools folder and click adb and expect it to work its magic… you can stare all you want, but all it’s going to do it open a command prompt, run commands, and disappear. Now, don’t go “ZOMG I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! IT WONT WORK!” …. Trust me, it will work..
6) Open a command prompt, go to windows start menu and click “search” or “run…” and in the box type: cmd and then press enter. This will execute the command prompt [terminal]
7) Now connect your Eris via USB. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ON!! If you don’t, go to settings < applications < development and check the box: usb debugging
8) Don’t mount your SD card yet.
9) Now you are almost ready to execute your first adb command. But first you must re-direct the path in command prompt to be your tools folder in SDK… this is what command should look like before:
C:\Users\YourUserName>
Now type in command: cd
But DON’T press enter… drag and drop the path from your SDK tools into that command line, so it should look like this:
C:\Users\YourUserName> cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Now press enter. NOW your command prompt should say:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Ok, last part… to test adb type in command: adb devices
Now it should return something like:
List of devices attached
HT9ANXXXXX Device
Ok so now you can execute Adb commands. Make sure you always have your command prompt pathway set to SDK tools or it WILL NOT WORK! You can now also execute adb commands directly to your device from it’s shell by typing: adb shell followed by your command.
For Visual people here is my short Youtube video explain it all again... and here is my screen shot to show you what it should look like, pay attention to my command prompt.
Another example: Custom boot animation for NON-ROOT USERS.
1) Find / create a boot animation that works with the Eris
2) name the Zip file bootanimation.zip
3) place .zip file in SDK tools folder
4) Follow above instructions to set path in CMD to tools folder and connect your device
5) execute this command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Feel free to PM if you have any questions... I hope this helps

adb
Could someone sticky this please?... and I think themes and apps is a good place for it..unless you think it belongs in general..

Help
I followed your instructions to the "T" everything worked but when I tried to push abd bootanimation command it says access denied is this because I don't have root? I am running on the 2.1 leak Version 2 OTA . Seems to be working fine for me. Although I wish I would have waited for root!! C'mon DEVS I'm pulling for you. Any suggestions?

You probably don't have the .apk file in the same directory as sdk tool folder
try moving it there and see if that works.

[Q] Can't get out of recovery mode

First I want to apologize for the double post (post in General)
I used odin to get froyo on the Captivate. That worked fine. When I try and root 2.2, the phone froze and now it won't get out of recovery mode. I have tried every combination I can think of to reboot the phone short of throwing it down the street, but I cannot get out of recovery mode. I am also unable to use the power button (ok key?) to select anything. I can use the volume keys fine for up and down.
One of the errors says:
"(Unknown error: 0) ensure_root_path_unmounted++
ensure_root_path_unmounted (/mnt/internal_sd)
ensure_root_path_unmounted ret 0
unmount(/mnt/internal_sd) attempt 1 (unknown error: 0)
Install default apk-files. finished.
Mind you, I have already tried to put the rooted 2.2 files on the sd card, but still to no avail. Any suggestions? I am really hoping this phone isn't rooted.

So you have a european firmware? Which one is it?
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors

I just fixed it. Reinstalled the firmware with Odin and it's working fine now. Thank you.

dude how did you do that.. I have the same friggin issue and I can't fix it. I'm stuck in recovery mode all the time, as soon as I plug the phone in to charge, or plug it in the computer via usb, or push the power button, the damn thing goes into recovery mode and stays there. I can use the volume buttons to navigate up and down through the options and if I hold the power botton down long enough the phone will turn off and back on again. But if I press the power button once (as in select an option) it doesn't do anything. I tried every single option out there to get into download mode with the battery out and usb in and volume buttons then put bat in....etc nothing works. I need to get into download mode
anyone?................

anyone that is messing with flashing firmwares on their phone needs to learn basic ADB skills.
use the following command in adb:
adb reboot
it will get you out of recovery mode

What he said. Plus, I have had it happen sometimes that no matter what I always reboot into recovery. At that point I just adb reboot download and re-flash.

ok thanks. I know I said I have tried everything before but I wasn't completely truthful. I did try ADB though, but I don't think I was doing it right. I downloaded the SDK thing and started a command prompt from "start menue, accessories, and command prompt" but when I type the command "adb reboot download" nothing happens and the command prompt disappears. I don't have much experience with ADB, is there anyway you can give step by step instructions on how to do this? I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks

I found this thread on here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874" but still didn't help me much. Everytime I type cd c:\Android or any other command I get The system cannot find the path specified.

Here's what I do. After you download the sdk. There is a folder called tools. I copy that to c:
Then opencommand prompt and type,
C:
CD tools
adb reboot
Or, adb reboot download
Of course make sure your phone is connected via USB.

thanks I'll try that when I get home. I think this might take care of the problem, because I did keep the folder on the desktop and did not move it to C: folder. Although when I plug in the phone via USB, I still can't establish connection between phone and computer, but I will let you know how it goes after I get home tonight. and I did find some stuff about ADB through google so I might be able to do something with it tonight.
Thanks for the help though

Download odin one click, remove the battery, open odin, replace battery, hold down both volume buttons, and plug the usb cable in. That should get you to download mode unless your 3-button doesn't work.

Hi, so I did all that heres a copy and paste of what I did and results I got
"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Shahed>cd c:\
c:\>cd c:\android-sdk-windows
c:\android-sdk-windows>tools
'tools' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
c:\android-sdk-windows>cd tools
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb reboot download
error: device not found

I guess it can't be done because the device is not initiated to begin with

Find the tools folder in the SDK you dowloaded and extracted, I found a shortcut to it scroll over the tools folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder then choose open command window here.
When the command window opens type the command ADB shell then hit enter, then type adb reboot download then hit enter with your phone plugged into pc. This always works for me. You can always change the path by moving the folder directly to your c drive but this will work for you for now.

[Q] Help with ADB

So basically i have been trying to get into download mode for the past few hours and none of the manual button pressing options have worked for me. I recently just upgraded to the official froyo update (KB1) through kies just to check it out and I now cannot get back to download mode so i can flash back stock 2.1. I have sdk installed and am attempting to use adb commands but cannot get it to work I go into command prompt with my phone plugged in (with usb debugging on) and do these steps:
1. Opened command prompt on PC
2. Type CD\ to start at C root directory
3. from there I typed in CD \sdk\tools\
4. I then type adb reboot download and my command prompt shoots back at me adb is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file
Any help guys? This is really frustrating

newest releases of the sdk moved adb from /tools to /platform-tools
if you issue a 'dir' command while in the \tools folder you will see adb is not in there. move to the platform-tools folder

Just figure it out. Thanks so much!
