Hi all,
Mac user trying to cope with this in Virtual PC.
Can someone please explain the following step-by-step:
0. Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???
Cannot get command prompt to go to the folder (I assume its the one on the C drive in the Helmi folder, not somewhere mystical on the PDA).
Please help.
Thanks,
Paul D
Hello everyone i am having troubles installing adb on my laptop and i need it to flash a splash screen on my mytouch slide so it can match the rom i have made for it. I installed the adnroid sdk to where it needs to be by downloading adb for dummies lol. Except when i open cmd and run adb it says its not an internal batch orrecognized file or whatever but when i type adb.exe on command prompt it shows everything about adb. So can anyone please help me thanks.

I'm trying to piece together information here. ADB for me is in my C:\, so when opening CMD prompt, I first type "cd/" (without quotes) then "cd AndroidSDK/tools". To get a list of ADB's commands, type "adb help". Maybe you're not using the proper syntax. I base this off the statement you made that when you type adb.exe it shows the adb commands, and command syntax usage.
Also note that changing your splash screen you must first S-OFF your phone. Here's a guide on how to do so

That's the tricky part though, easy part is flashing your custom boot image.
File you will need: View attachment Boot_images.zip
Once you have the 320x480 boot image you want, open "CreateG1Splash", select your boot image, and convert it with this program. Once converted the new file will show in the same folder as CreateG1Splash, named mysplash.rgb565. Move this file to your ADB tools folder. Open CMD prompt and point CMD prompt to your AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Then boot phone into bootloader, then select fastboot. Plug the phone to CPU via USB, and type, "fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565". Reboot phone to see change.
Hope this helps!
when i tried to run sdk , got this error
C:\>android-sdk-windows\tools
'android-sdk-windows\tools' is not recognized as an internal or external command
,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>
can somebody help me to solve this error
i am on windows xp
what do you want to do?if you want to use the program inside the tools folder you should enter the folder. you can make a shortcut file by make a new txt file in tools folder, type cmd.exe then save the file. change the extension to *bat. in this way anytime you open the *bat file you'll enter tools folder in cmd automatically.
The folder you cd should have adb in it. Otherwise it won't work

Define more clearly !
The error you have mentioned isn't from sdk, its a cmd error & is trying to inform you that the command you entered isn't an executable(script or binary), its just a simple path to which you can cd not execute.
You can just find the windows executable(like *.exe, *.bat, *.cmd,.. etc) you are trying to execute & double click
Like the default location for Sdk Manager : "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe"
yup...thats right. but the *exe command only work if executed from cmd. he has solve this problem anyway. mod can close it now.
He didn't mentioned about gui or command-line. So replied that way.
That's not sdk error,....

Hello.
I wanted to root my htc one x and got to the step when i enter/get the token, but i cant seem to go further than step 8 when i get the bootloader token in cmd, it just says that cd \Android is not a valid path or something, so i cannot unlock the bootloader.
Please help me out here.
please give me the exact error message you get... i rooted mine 2 days ago (but with the normal root method without this program).
Sounds like a Folder error or something. Where have you placed the toolkit ??
Dont know if there is an error, but when i try to unlock bootloader from cmd with cd \Android i get that the path is invalid.
The toolkit is placed for me in D: drive in an "Htc one x root" folder.
And i dont even have a path to an android folder in c drive.
And how do i even get the right android folder in the c drive?
Sorry for this "noob'ish" questions, but all the rooting i have done before was through superoneclick and "on-phone" rooting.
Ok a few things. Where did you save your SDK to? If its in c:/program files move it to root. You can do this all easily in Windows explorer. Then go to cmd, type in "cd..", enter, then "cd..", again. you should be in root. Then type dir and check if android is there. Try to "cd android", enter, "cd platform-tools" type dir and you should see adb and fastboot, then do fastboot OEM unlock. For me I added the android folder to my environment variables so I can do adb from any folder, so I don't need to put everything on my android folder! Pm me if you need more help. I'm also willing to help over remote desktop. It took me so long to set up the SDK so I know how irritating it feels.

try cd \program file (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Still the same message.
sorry for late answer but i cant send you a mail... it seems you disabled it in your setting so I post it here:
I do it with the following method and it worked like a charm:

if you still "stuck" on your method, give this a try... its not complicated
I managed to root the phone
Morning.
No doubt I am missing something dumb out here but I'm having problems here. Following HTC Dev instructions to the letter but when I open CMD it says C:\Windows\system32 NOT C:\Users\Admin\cd \Android
Tried typing in fastboot devices and just get not recognized. I've installed SDK, HTC Sync, JAVA etc.
Any help would be gratefully received
Navigate to the folder where also the fastboot exe file is located, open the command prompt directly in there and type the command again.
