ADB Help!

[jaycee316]

Hi guys, I really need some help setting up my ADB thing. I've got my phone, jailbroke it, then Devphone 1'd it and now I'm pretty open to anything. Supposedly. I'm trying to get me that custom boot image, now I've been trying to set up ADB, and I don't think it's working.

The thing is, at the risk of sounding noob, I have no idea how to tell if it's working! Could somebody tell me what it's supposed to do?

Yeah, sorry...

And thanks a bunch in advance!

connect the phone to PC, open command prompt and enter adb devices , if ADB is working, it will list your phone as HT8xxxxxx.

wow, there it is. So now I just input the commands through command prompt?

Thank you very much sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar! As you can tell I have a ways to go, but I think I'll be fine everything else is falling into place!

I have the adb driver installed, but in the command prompt I keep getting:

'adb is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Am I missing something?

you have to add the path to the ADB folder to the PATH environment variable. Read here.

which guide are you using ?

[Grzzer2]

I am using Sauriks guide

I cant access the files from the phone.

I am also not sure of a couple of things. Do I really need to create a 2nd partition with ext2? And which files am I exactly putting in /data/local

ok, how far have you gone in the process ? and I hope you are on Linux while doing this.

[Grzzer2]

I am using windows because I am not familiar with installing adb on ubuntu.

I am up to the point where it says

export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root

insmod $kit/ext2.ko
after i type this I get an error message saying that it cant open est2 because no file or directory exists

insmod $kit/ext2.ko
after i type this I get an error message saying that it cant open est2 because no file or directory exists

did you put ext2.ko inside /sdcard/kit first ?

[Grzzer2]

yes
