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.

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.

Personal preference. Lots of popular ones out there now.

No PC required. Don't use a toolkit. Download ADB and Fastboot for Mac (I'll add them to this post too if you want). Connect your phone via USB and put into Fastboot mode, open Terminal and point it at the ADB/Fastboot folder (I put mine in my Home folder). Use the "./fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock the bootloader.
Basic overview anyway. Plenty of step-by-step guides. Just follow them. Any Windows guide works fine, just put "./" in front of the commands because you're on OSX.
Also, this exact question has been asked ~1000000 times.
haha I bet it has! Just... there is a lot! as far as unlocking, it seems straight forward, unlock with terminal flash clockwork... Thanks! The phone seems really really basic in stock from which is good, but I need me some rom ; ) thanks again!
Works the same for PC? Just got my nexus also. Coming over from the t989.. its a little overwhelming..

Read the guides. They're all over. I recommend not using a toolkit.
getting stuck loading CWM zero permission but then cant flash SU because zero recovery ...
Most people start with aokp milestone then expand from there.
All -
I am not sure where to go. I am new to a Verizon GNex running stock ICS v4.0.4 and using a mac laptop, and looking to possibly get into rooting. It appears CM9 is popular specially since they appear to have added several of the SIII's new features.
I have read several posts on several sites talking about rooting the GNex. There seems soooooo many different ways to root i'm going crazy. Since I am new to rooting, I am not sure what is the best/easiest way to get started to ensure I don't loose anything.
Any help on the right way to go, any forum posts to start with, etc....would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks!

dont use a toolkit either. you'll be better off with the knowledge of what you are doing and people will be more apt to help you if things go wrong.

Thank you both for replying, but....I am working on a MacBook and the link you provided appears only to be for a Windows Machine. I luv the walk-thru what exists in the forum - I just need it for a Mac..
Thanks again!
Should be the same deal... just with terminal.
Here is a zip with ad and fast boot needed for Mac. It may also have the recovery and su.zip but ignore those use what the windows tutorial says.

Exact same method, but use Terminal instead of Command Prompt, and put a "./" in front of every command. For example:
Code:
./adb devices
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...
