I don't quite remember this either, but have you tried.... adb shell logcat > log.txt

I believe its:
adb logcat > name of rom.txt

[Q] Rooting Help

I apologize if this is already answered somewhere. I searched everywhere and could not find anything, but I might be using the wrong wording.
Anyways I am attempting to root my G2. I have managed to get adb onto the computer and it recognizes my phone. However, the next step in the wiki says to:
ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*​
However, it gives me error messages such as 'adb' is not recognized. I'm sure I am missing stupid but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.
Just use visionary, it is much easier. Click temp root and when it is done perm root

I don't trust visionary. I want to go about this the safest way which is the gfree method.

Make sure that the adb (and other stuff tha got installed) is in your PATH environment, or cd to that diectory and work from there.

I checked the path a few times because I thought that was the problem. However, it all looks good. I'm going to try on another computer tonight and see if that helps.
Did you make sure that all the necessary drivers were installed?
When you type 'ADB Devices' does it show your phone?
I used visionary and terminal emulator and haven't had any problems at all.

Yes it shows my phone when I type 'ADB Devices' That's what's causing my confusion. I've reinstalled all the drivers that are needed. From what I am seeing it SHOULD work.

Adb

Please could someone help me in using Adb to allow me to transfer more files on the sd card without root? I don't know how to do it and would appreciate if someone could explain it to me.
Thanks

If you open the start menu on your computer and right click computer, click properties you should go to some menu and in the top left it will say device manager I think, then you will go to another menu search for other devices or your phones name which should be something like don't Ericson 4.0.A.2.... etc. Something beginning with 4 and has dots a zero and A. Lol

Sorry but that wasn't even relevant.... to use adb you need android sdk.
move apps to sd? command is
adb shell
setinstall location or something like that.
move files to sd is
adb push filename /sdcard
thank me if I helped.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot
I would thank, but it seems that I still don't understand. I ain't very deep into Android-know a few basics but I'll need a lot more than that to help me (no offence intended). Thank you
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
download the android sdk or a adb package.
extract/install the package/sdk
download adb via the sdkmanager if using the sdk
then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.
type 'adb shell'
(make sure usb debuggin is on on the phone and usb plugged in.)
then type 'pm setInstallLocation 2'
then type 'reboot'
then type 'exit'
all without quotes.
Still sounds so complex! Lol, will try though. Thanks

here is a method that worked for me.
1. Turn off your phone (if stuck, just remove the battery).
2. At your command prompt, do "adb logcat > logresult.txt".
3. Plug your phone to your usb and power it.
4. After at least 1-2 minutes or until the phone has fully booted up, terminate your logcat session (ctrl+c)

Yes I think you are wrong.. It can show log generated during installation.. That too if the dev has written any "echo" commands.. It also generates some info like about any problem occurred while installation.. In advanced section has show log option..

How do I get s off?

So I rooted my phone using the toolkit but I don't have s off. I tried the firewater method but couldn't get it to work. I'm using the att version

You may need to try it numerous times for it to work as some members said that it didn't work right away for them but after a few more attempts it was all good
Sent from my HTC One or Note 3 via XDA Premium
Also try copying a large file to the phone eg 2gb in size while running the s-off script. Users have reported that it worked for them.
Yeah I tried Firewater and it succeeded but after a few Times. I got stuck at the adb shell command and it would go past there so I exited adb then started again but this time from the adb shell command and it went smoothly from there.

Open CMD window and just type exactly what is requested on the firewater website. First fastboot devices to see if you are all up and running then fire away!
