sorry if this is a noob question but I can't seem to find the answer. I want to root my D-Inc but in starting the process I noticed under the device manager the Andriod was not listed under "Other Devices" and also it doesnt say Android 1.0. when i expand Android it shows Android ADB Interface.
Am I suppose to update the ADB with the hboot drivers? Im running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 64 bit laptop.
Ok so the plot thickens. I was just looking thru apps and i noticed "Superuser" which I definitely did not have before. I didn't realize I actually did anything but when I was doing the process I ran the unrevoked exe thinking it would install a program but evidently it rooted the phone? I had the hboot drivers on the computer but I never installed them?
Is my phone rooted? i don't see any difference in it? How do I know for sure?
Download "hot reboot".
Then use it once to see.
I don't think it is rooted. Do I update the drivers to the Android adb?

Hey guys. I got my Incredible on launch day, and loved it. I installed the PSX Emulator and was amazed at the actual capability of this device. I stumbled on here and started to see "root, flash, beta, OTA" and all this jargon is like arabic to me, I don't really understand what it means. I followed the instructions to "root" my device, and I don't know if I was successful, my phone operates the same way. Now here's where following instructions runs array for me...I'm running a Macbook, and I haven't really seen any step-by-steps for Mac. So all I'm asking is for a...glossary of the most important, used terms. And maybe someone to walk me through however to get the most out of my Incredible. Thanks guys.
I have a thread from yesterday where I had someone help.me from beginning to end. Unfortunately you're going to have a problem when it comes to adb shell and creating the semi and tools folders. Adb comes as an *.exe file which won't run on a MAC. I actually had to use my wife's netbook to go all the way through to installing Froyo. You can root your phone using unrevoked ASSUMING you've got at least OS 10.5. It will not work with 10.4.
Check my thread called a noob's adventures in rooting. I think that was the title.

Something I just thought of, if you had Bootcamp on your Mac you could use that for everything. I don't have it on my macbook but it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I have Bootcamp, but I don't really know how to set it up, nor am I the kind of person to drop 400 dollars on an OS.
So if you have Bootcamp installed I'm assuming you're partitioned for Windows and/or mac OS? If so, regardless of the mac OS, as long as you've got at lease Windows XP installed and can boot into that you can follow my other thread. I'm a virtual idiot when it comes to rooting and roms. If I was able to do it, anyone can. The thread turned into a step by step guide for idiots and I was able to do it. Wi.does is the only thing you need.

Uhh... you can run adb shell in windows, linux, or mac. You just need to download the proper OS version from google.
Yep, like the above poster said, just install the android sdk for Mac and you can execute adb from there. Im confused as to why everyone is telling you to install windows. 0___o
The reason I said Windows was because I was using an unsupported version of the OS. Unrevoked doesn't support 10.4.

So, I've got myself the amazing G2, and I'm loving it to bits. But, I was browsing around and saw that a DEV was able to port the Desire Z's ROM to a G2, and I love me some sense. I want to be able to get that sense-filled-goodness on my G2, but doing it so safely. I really don't feel like sending my phone in to get replaced. I've never bricked a phone before, and I wanna keep it that way. So, can anyone give me some step by step instructions on how to complete a ROM flash? It would be much appreciated. thank you!
You root with this....

is a nice ROM too
Now, explain ABD and SDK in laymens terms? And is this proceedure safe?
Well. I really can't explain sdk and adb. It allows your computer to communicate with your phone, which is needed to run many commands. The commands you input in terminal emulator can also be entered to your phone using the command prompt of your computer.
It was ***** for me to learn how to use on my computer but after many youtube videos and question was able to get it running.

Hey guys,
I am very confused about this whole ADB business. After plugging in my phone in development mode, it says "ADB - No driver found".
All the guides around refer to the G1, and I cannot get this to work. It is driving me up the wall!
I run Windows 7 x64. Any help would be great!

Ok, after looking through many guides, I have FINALLY managed to get ADB for my phone.
Can u describe how you did it? I recently installed the SDK and had major problems with the driver for development. I was trying to flash my radio. I have sorted it out now. If u want me to describe what I did then let me know.

okay ive looked around and havent found anything regarding this topic.
im trying to unlock bootloader and root my htc one v (cdma) using the only computer i have avaliable, and it just so happens it runs fedora. im no noob to the rooting world, just new to it using linux. ive never had a problem using htcdev.com, but the instructions to unlock bootloader mainly refer to windows users.
Can someone please walk me through this process for linux users like me?
I've already got the files i need (android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz and fastboot.zip)
now how do i use the terminal? (as dos is to windows)
I think all you need is adb setup

Details please. Got the files htcdev told me I needed, just am clueless how to use terminal. Or is there other way to go about it? (one click unlock/root for linux?) Step by step guide would be appreciative
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HOWTO_Setup_Android_Development
that looks like it will do the trick for you. if you dont plan on making android apps, skip the part about installing eclipse. your main focus is the android sdk
once you get the sdk set up, open it up and make sure to install platform-tools, fastboot comes as part of that package.
that guide doesnt seem to talk about setting up the drivers, so look here (should be distro independant, maybe)
http://esausilva.com/2010/05/13/setting-up-adbusb-drivers-for-android-devices-in-linux-ubuntu/
hope that gets you started in the right direction, i use ubuntu and havnt touched fedora in a ages
i already have tat sdk file (android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz) can find how to install the platform tools. and the sdk comes with 3 folders, yet only "tools" has 115.4mb of data in it. no where in that folder is platform tools. why is windows easier to root phone with, then a computer using linux (basically same thing as android) its impossible without serious coding skills... if it were my computer id have ununtu also... in other words no progress yet. and beginning to really dislike fedora...
Hi, I've spent literally 5 hours today just trying to figure out what flashing is, rooting is, and how to install ADB/SDK drivers, but still no idea what flashing and rooting are (trying to unlock my phone). I've looked at so many guides, but I came across this one that seemed to work for me to install ADB/SDK tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199526. What I'm trying to do is basically root my phone which is a samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100 4.1.2, I have no idea what Ice cream sandwich or that jelly bean thing is, this is pretty much my first smartphone, i've never really needed a phone. Now I'm trying to root with this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544 since I have no SD card, but here's the thing, even when I go to recovery mode, and then apply update from ADB, I then open up the ADB cmd and type adb devices, nothing comes up, I don't understand why my phone won't show up? I still try the sideload command but it says cannot read CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip. So what I'm trying to say is, I am a complete noob at what everyone here is specialized in lol, so can anyone explain it to me?
Wrong forum, this is the Note2 forum not SG2.
