SDK Install - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys and gals,
trying to reinstall the SDK on my PC (fresh install of window, so I need to reinstall)
But it's telling me I dont have Java...I go to install Java JDK, and it says a newer version is already installed.
What do I do?

3 different OSes and still cant recognize ADB

i tried on a win 7, vista, and xp machine to install the ADB drivers
I install the latest SDK. download the latest drivers through SDK(pack 3 i believe). Restart the machine, restart phone.
I try to search for the files in the "C:\android-sdk-windows" folder where i unzipped this. I even went as far as to go to "C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\i386" to search for the drivers but none of them ever find it.
Because of this i cant root, use the new recovery, or use the RUU files to go back to the stock rom because they all look for ADB.
I was originally trying to take the unrevoked root off so i could use toast's method by flashing the stock rom. Both RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed AND RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253 do not recognize it.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time
Joeykrim again has saved my you know what. HTC sync fixed this.
Here is the link below that i got it from
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
You can just install HTC sync and then uninstall. If HTC sync is installed and ADB still doesn't work make sure HTC sync is not running. When trying to do ADB.

Installed Android SDK, wont work!

Can anyone help? Ive installed the SDK, ive installed the Java stuff, but when I try to open the SDK Manager it opens and closes instantly. I try running through command line and nothing happens.
Am I missing something? On 32 bit windows XP
Assuming you have admin rights on the machine...
Have you tried installing to a different location - like the root of C:
When you d/l the files, did you click properties, and in the bottom of the pane, did it indicate the files were blocked and did you unblock them?
Have you tried uninstalling the current, d/l them again and reinstalling?
Not sure how much this will help, but when I tried running SDK I ended up finding out after doing lots of research, getting some help and everything that it wasn't working properly because I downloaded the wrong version for my PC. Be sure you downloaded the correct SDK for your PC because that will play a big role in the program running correctly.
Re: Installed Android SDK, wont work!
If you used the exe then you need to run your advanced commands from "platform-tools" not the normal "tools" folder. You will see adb files in the currect folder.
/programfiles/android-adk-windows/platform-tools
It will me something like that
I'm not at the point where I can run advanced commands, I can't get the application to open AT ALL so I can't even download any versions of the Android OS etc.

...be more specific.
when you try to open the SDK manager, I assume you mean in Eclipse?
are you following these directions?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Im not using Eclipse, I just want to open the Android Emulator. I had done this before in windows without much hassle but now I cant get it to open

well you have to use eclipse to create an AVD (android virtual device).
Just follow the directions On the link I gave you. once you got eclipse all set up.
[[ this is the eclipse i'm running 3.6.1 classic: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/do....6.1-201009090800/eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-win32.zip ]]
Click on WINDOW->Android SDK and AVD Manager.
Create a New AVD. Give it a name (something simple, short, all lowercase is best. I named the latest one gingerbread) and select the target (api version)
set an SD card, resolution, etc...etc....
once its created, you have to launch emulator from a command prompt and the AVD switch to specify an android virtual device.
in dos, navigate to the SDK\tools directory, and run
emulator -avd gingerbread
or whatever you named your avd. got it?
ill give it a shot, thanks

It's a known issue. If you have JDK when you install SDK and get that error juck click back and then forward.

Check the ../platform-tools in stead of ../tools directory.
In my tools directory, I noticed a txt file (adb_has_moved)
Open it and it says:
'The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/
If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
Please also update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can execute adb from any location.'
So I open Android SDK and AVD Manager, it immediately starts to look for updates and gives me this error message:
'Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Connection timed out: connect'
What now?
Even tried open Manager from cmd (using android.bat from tools directory), didn't immediately look for updates but eventually it did & gave same error!
HELP?

It should update. Don't you have some firewall that precludes it to download updates ?
Edit: If you are using windows don't install Android SDK into the Program Files directory. You need special permissions to modify that folder so that's why you might have problems in the future. What you have reported first is a connection problem which has to be firewall related.

Benefits of rooting? Help on Windows 8 x64

Are there any real benefits for rooting the Ouya?
I've looked endlessly for the google driver so that the Ouya Toolbox can recognize my console and I can't find it anywhere.
Can anybody post the file so I can manually add it? When I download the SDK from Android, there's nothing like the folders where the driver should be... and its nowhere to be found.
Theoretically once I have the driver I should be able to root it, right?
Thanks!

Shure there are, like being able to
install Google Play Store
install Custom Roms
install CWM recovery
backup your system
use CIFS to mount network storage (if your kernel supports it)
use USB Drives for additional app storage
etc.
Basically, without root the Ouya would be rather useless for me.
Regarding the driver: I use adb via Linux, but if I'm not mistaken, you have to download the drivers from within the SDK.
The tuts in the dev section spell out what needs to be installed within the SDK. You can also use Samsung adb drivers from KIES.

Just do the one-click method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295645
Then install the StockPlus ROM that includes Google Play, etc from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347214
Very easy to do so, no need to actually set up the SDK. Just need a USB keyboard and about 5 minutes. Only part that requires any type of work is after installing CWM is pushing the ROM to /sdcard/ on the Ouya, then adb reboot bootloader and do the rest. Very easy. In Windows 8 64-bit you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement, just Google it only take a minute or two.

Trying to Root Nexus 7 (2013), SDK issue

I'm trying to Root the new Nexus 7. I can't even install the SDK.
I Accept the license to install, but the install button is greyed out and I get:
"Package "Google APIs, Android API 18, revision 1 depends on missing SDK Platform Android, API 18"
...In the SDK manager
HELP!!!
I didn't have to install anything. Per the instructions here, all I needed was adb.exe and fastboot.exe. So I just extracted the sdk\platform-tools folder from the SDK zip and it worked fine.
