having trouble in cmd

for some reason when i type the adb shell command in cmd i get a device not found message. how can i fix this problem?? i want to unlock nand..

Have you followed part 1 of toast's method of rooting your phone? Have you installed android sdk?
you could also check out this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004

yes i did i followed all the instructions to the T... I downloaded sdk for windows, i downloaded java jdk. I also downloaded all the files required to do the rooting and unlocking of the device. right now im using an omj rom but i would like to check out others. anyways everything else seems to work for me in the cmd accept when i get to that part

Type in adb devices and see if your phone's serial number displays. If that displays okay, then you should be good to go. Other than that, you should have user debug checked on.

thanks ill check it out.

My W7 64-bit machine had no problems, but on my W7 32-bit machine I had a similar issue to what you are describing. If I did "adb devices" nothing was showing up.
I followed this guide to fix it:

Issues Connecting To ADB

I'm having a problem that is affecting two different computers, both of them gives me a 'adb device not found' message and it won't list my G2 when I typed in 'adb devices', the only difference between them is that in my laptop it gives me a message that it couldn't successfully install 'ADB'(Windows 7 Home 64 Bit) while my older Windows XP SP3 desktop gives me no such message.
Before replying, please note that I have Checked USB debugging and have done everything in the ADB for dummies thread, which includes the adding the tools part to Path and I have reinstalled my drivers more than five times (with and without USBDeview), each time with a different method. I am not mounting my SD card. I have also tried the PDAnet method. I have modified the android_winusb.inf file and reinstalled it. Tried uninstalling my USB Root Hub's as suggested by another. I have updated my USB Driver in SDK to rev 4. There aren't any yellow checkmarks in my Device Manager, however I have noticed that I only have 'Android Phone' and the subcategory 'Android Composite ADB Interface', I've heard that I should see another category like 'ADB Device Driver'. I have tried to fix this problem for five hours to root my G2, any help would be appreciated very much.

Where did you get your drivers from ? In the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685 I suggest getting them from the HTC Sync software, not the SDK.
I walked a guy with Win 7 through this the other day, and it worked fine for him.

I know it sounds like a stupid question but is the adb.exe file in your tools folder? If not, try running an advance search and only in the titles search for "drivers". You should only get about 10 returns. The top one should have some files attached named tools. Download them and extract the files to your tools folder. Then try running the adb devices again, yesterday I had to do that cuz for some reason adb.exe wasn't there.
I second getting the drivers from HTC Sync and remember the desire z is the same a G2 so run the seach for desire z for htc sync.

adb has been taken out of the latest version of the SDK "Starter" package (the 2.3 one). It used to be there in the 2.2 version. So now you have to run SDK Manager to install the platform-tools add-on, then you get adb. This is all in my updated adb guide

ddgarcia05 - I didn't have adb in my tools folder, however I don't believe that you need adb.exe in that folder, just in the 'platform-tools' folder or in the system-32 fodler. Thanks for trying.
steviewevie - Thank you so much! I found your adb for noobs thread and it seems that installing HTC Sync after uninstalling my previous drivers via USBDeview worked like a charm. I also didn't see that you had to add 'platform-tools' in the Path in the various other threads, so I did that too. +1 Thanks to your helpful thread!

[Q] New ADB Install Method? (Solved!)

Hey guys, sorry for this noob question, but I just couldn't find any recent answers . So I was wondering, are there any recent methods (guides) to installing the ADB drivers and everything? The reason I ask is because I was looking at the custom splash screens and they were saying to "adb push spalsh1 ..." or something. I tried it and it said that the command adb couldn't be found or something like that. And I thought that maybe that only worked for the older adb drivers since the 2.3 SDK is out. Sorry for sounding so confused, its because I am. Lol. Thanks in advance.

HTC sync acts as the drivers for our phones. Just make sure its installed on ur pc along with the Android sdk and that usb debug is checked in ur phone settings.

Thanks! I just had to press HTC Sync on the phone so that I could do the adb commands!

ADB Problem

New to ADB and have a problem I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere. Running Windows 7 32Bit. USB driver loaded successfully and device manager shows Android Composite ADB Interface under Android phone tab. SDK manager downloaded and installed 2.2 API 8 as I am running Froyo on my HTC Desire. I added the system variable as directed and run adb shell but I get an <error:device not found> message. Looking for any direction here please.
Edit: I am running in debugging mode just to clarify

Download 2.3 SDK and update platform-tools. I had this error then did that and it worked for me. Sometimes, it can be really weird.

Problem solved! I had to hit F8 when booting up and disable driver signing!

I've never downloaded an API as that's only needed for developing your own version of Android. I just have the basic tools package and added it to my system path so I can run adb/fastboot from any command prompt (don't have to go to C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools)
Should also say I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and have had no issues with drivers

I have the same problem as yours. Could you elaborate how you solved this?

[Q] Having issue with drivers before rooting...

It's probably something simple, but I would much rather ask a stupid question than be the enraged owner of an Incredibly expensive paperweight. I've been following the How 2 thread, and I've ran into a little issue.
I'm running the official Froyo 2.2 OTA on the Droid Incredible, but am looking to root my device with unrevoked 3.3. I've read through the procedures and searched through support topics, but with no success.
I downloaded the recovery tool, the Android SDK, and the usb drivers from revoked, unzipped them all and installed the recovery tool and the sdk.
I put the phone into HBOOT and installed the driver like the unrevoked guide said, removed the device and reconnected it to ensure that the driver was associated with the device and it is.
Here's the problem.
I reboot into the Android OS and reconnect the device to my pc. Now the driver is listed as 'ADB' in the device manager, which is not the same driver. The driver isn't installed correctly as there is a yellow exclamation point attached to the icon. I opened cmd, changed the directory to appropriate Android SDK directory, ran ADB and the command 'adb devices' to insure that my device was recognized. It is not.
So how do I repair/reinstall the ADB driver so that I don't brick my Incredible? Any and all help is tremendously appreciated

I don't know if the motorola driver will work with htc, but i understand what you're saying. I'll find the standard google driver and try to install that the way the link mentioned. I just need to figure out how to do it in xp, as I am not a windows 7 user.
Thank you.
