Setting up and using adb

[havocxrush]

Is there any simpler solution? I cant for the life of me get it to work at all. Im VERY bad with command prompts.. I get to trying to /cd to the directory and it doesnt find it. Everythings in place up to that step. Need a guide for someone whos never used a command prompt before or something with a simple interface. I managed to root without ADB easily enough but am sure Ill need it at some point.
Uninstalled all the required and am starting back from scratch.
System btw is Win 7 Home Premium x64

Here's what I'd do. Uninstall the drivers and the sdk. Not sure if this matters, but install RSD Lite. Install the drivers. Run RSD Lite and plug in the phone. Then close RSD Lite and install the SDK.

Reboot the phone and the computer, plug the phone in and try it.

this turned out to not be my problem, but i figgured id post up for anyone else in my sitiuation.

back when this stuff first came out, instead of installing the whole sdk, we were just putting adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the system32 folder, that way didnt have to changge path varibles or anything. well even though i updated the sdk and path and all, it would still default to the adb in the system32 folder. its been soooo long, i forgot that was even in there. once i removed those and installed new files to c:\android it all worked!

thanks for the helpthough, it got me thinking, and now im ready to flash. (just have to convince her, lol.) once blur 2.1 gets leaked i know it will be easy to convince...

btw- any contacts inside that can get a hold of it off that new device? get it posted and it willl be ported asap!

Thanks for telling us how you fixed the problem

As far as leaks go... you won't find many from Motorola :S They're not like HTC that way.

What part doesn't work? I don't have a step to cd into a directory. Please give me more details. Thanks.

Hey I'm new to thi. I did everything described to the T. I think the problem is in the path directory, because I put adb devices in the command prompt and it says path not recognized. what path do I need to have?

*update* i ran adb through some command prompt but it keeps saying it couldnt connect to daemon device, adb server didnt ACK

Just curious would anyone be able to add common commands to this guide like example how to remove apps via adb or how to install apps via adb?

I don't know much about this and I keep looking around but with so much info out there I'm getting confused lol.

I made a batch file that does the common commands.

I will upload tonight.

commands:
-pull files
-push files
-remove files
-install files

look at it and learn, may include instructions too.

Thx!

Thanks! One more step towards root.

I did have a small problem when going through - and it's probably an assumed step: after connecting the phone's USB, I had to mount as USB drive for adb to recognize it.

Hope it helps!

hey can you help with my moto cliq im stuck at the bootloader screen and adb wont detect my phone, RSD lite detects the "flash" part of my phone for re-flashing but after every flash it reboots to the "Bootloader USB init" page and wont let me prgress, if you could please contact me via e-mail at alaron110@hotmail.com subject "moto CLIQ"

[coldwayz]

Although I've followed everything to the letter, I end up still having the problem of the phone not being recognized.

I accidentally bricked my phone after updating to the 1.3.18, so I'm currently trying to use this method to unbrick it (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=528179). Sadly, i'm pretty much screwed because i can't actually go into the phone to allow debugging, and the "adb devices" command just comes back with "list of adb devices."
why?

I am having trouble understanding this part

Under the "System Variables" there is one called "Path." Click on it and click "edit." You will see a path in there (something like "%SystemRoot%\system32;c:\DanationIsTheGreates t\") At the end, add ";" then add the path to the Android SDK tools folder (e.g. c:\Android\android-sdk_r3-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\)

When I open the path to edit, it says:
%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoo t%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowe rShell\v1.0\

Where or what exactly am I supposed to add/change to this?
