Android SDK Manager - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried and tried to install SDK Manager and read all posts on this forum relating to it but still get the Java not found in your path message.
I've tried changing the path as suggested but without a positive result. I've also googled it on numerous occasions and tried standing on my head while drinking a chocolate milkshake. Is there something simple I'm missing? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

If you installed Java jdk (its different to normal Java) and it doesn't work, when you get to the bit that says Java not found, press back then next and it should change to Java found. It's just the installer being buggy and its what I have to do.

Had this happen to me. I downloaded .net framework 3.0 from the M$ site and then it worked fine.
Maybe that will help you.

Ok, first off, this is not a flame. It's an education, ok?
When posting a problem, it's best practice to let us know your:
Model of phone
Radio version
Boot Loader version
OS on your PC
ActiveSync version (s/b 4.5 by now)
Then, and only then, will you be able to get some intelligent answers. You also need to follow the link in my signature and there you will find answers.
If you're still stuck, usually re-downloading the RUU will result in a working ROM patch, unless you have other PC issues. You really need to fix that first, and the guides posted here are FULL of the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps that will propel you to a successful resolution.
Please read those posts, add your info, and you may be extremely pleased with the results.
Good reading!

First off; relax. At least the problem isn't with your phone. It's a heck of a lot easier to fix a PC.
I assume you've already tried to re-download the file?
Did you completely reboot your PC? Shut it down to power down, then restart. Make sure you don't have any extra USB stuff plugged in (like cameras, etc). If you have a PS/2 mouse and KB, use those, and not USB versions. One trick is to have the USB bus on your computer completely empty except for your phone.
Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to.
Run Windows Update. Make sure you're OK on those.
If that doesn't work, try downloading another ROM (OS only) -- like the Cingular Black 2.02 or the LVSM ROM, and see if that works.
You can also strip it apart -- use WinRAR to open the EXE file that you've been executing and extract the .nbh file from the EXE. Then go and download this guy: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_CustomRUU and extract it into its own folder. Copy that .nbh file into that directory, and execute the executable -- it will flash your phone with a known good flasher.
But.... stepping all of the way back ... if the ROM doesn't work on your phone, it's very likely reflashing it won't help a single bit. Those ROM's are checksummed when they go on the phone -- if they're corrupted, they won't load right in the first place (and you'd end up with a boot-loader only phone). Soo... uh.. first, reboot/clean USB, then try a different ROM.
Last resort will be completely reinstalling Windows XP. I've had to do this several times because Windows will get in some weird state and it refuses to flash my phone. I finally gave up and started flashing on my Mac using a Windows virtual machine -- it's a lot easier to restore my Windows system to a working point when I do that.
Thanks to everyone who gave a response!
Here's all the information i was asked to post ( i will remember this for next time)
Cingular 8525 HERM100
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
Boot Loader version: (Not quite sure what this is?)
OS on your PC: Pro Black 2.0
ActiveSync version 4.5
I have redownloaded the ruu about 3 times and it has failed everytime.
Restarted the PC, disconnected everything from my laptop, realized that i havent installed Framework .NET 3.0, ( although i have it on my phone as i needed it to run hitchhiker)
So i'm going to download framework .NEt 3.0 and run it.
As for my phone, i uninstalled all the apps, hard resetted and everything is working fine right now, hasn't froze at all since yesteray, so im going to wait it out and see if something happens again.
Thanks again to everyone!! This forum is really really helpful.

How to determine the bootloader version

You need to have a look at your user guide, as it states how to enter bootloader and check the version. Otherwise press and hold the left OK button and the power button at the same time, then hit the reset button with your stylus. You will enter a tri-color screen. This is bootloader mode. Jot down the numbers and compare against the below link.
Exiting is simple, press the reset button with your stylus.
Here's a valuable link for updating your bootloader.
Bootloader Version: SPL-1.40.01pro
IPL-1.01
i just tried to install Framework .NET 3.0 and got this error message

You're probably missing version 2.0 of the .NET framework. .NET Framework is to be left in place once installed. You should have left V 2.0 installed and added .NET 3.0. Go to www.microsoft.com/net and get version 2.0 redistributable re-installed on your machine. (If you can). If you cannot, search the KB and you may get by without rebuilding your OS.
"Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). To be extra safe, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any existing versions -- reboot -- then install the new CF Framework. Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to."
this is the advice i was given in this thread, so i uninstalled version 2.0 before installing version 3.0.
So am i screwed now? lol
Well, version 3.0 just installed successfully... does that mean i still need to install 2.0? or am i fine just running 3.0?
Sorry for all the questions, i just want this fixed :/
You should be good. Give it a go.
If not, just dl .Net CF2 and install that. I think you are fine now though.
Edit: never mind
version 2.0 installed fine
Thanks everyone

Hi...read mrvanx's guide before flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
You must to put hardspl on FIRST! U need to install NETCF on your PC. Do not put the ruu or rom files on your PPC and run them. Take Care

OK I'll happily admit to being a NOOB as well but I have had exactly the same issue and I don't think (and I read the guides many times!) that the answer is there. So it is not helping simply endlessly pointing to the guides (helpful though they are).
The point seems to be that you need the Microsoft 2.0 .NET framework installed on your PC (i.e. the computer not the phone) rather than the NETCF mentioned above.
I think (assuming that I am right!) it would be great to add this clearly to the guide ("Make sure sure your computer has Microsoft .NET 2.0 Installed") preferably with a link to the Microsoft download site for .NET as well.

I once was a noob too, this is three months ago, and I had spent days on reading up before I did my first flash. The wiki is there just for that! hmm, also with .net framework, you'll be surprise how many software these days that will run WITHOUT them installed.
Hi . I had same problem with my 3 PCs. I downloaded latest version of .NET framework from microsoft site & reinstalled it & WOW.. it started..

.Net Framwork is required ONLY by software that is written directly for it and does NOT include the required DLLs in the app itself...which is most. C# is one language that you MUST have the framwork installed most of the time. Very few people want to include the DLLs because people SHOULD have the .Net Framework installed anywas.
This thread was very useful by the way. I'd come across this problem today and it's helped me to solve it. I'm sure any noobs (like myself) will find this thread useful in future.
Just wanted to add one thing, RUUWrapper was crashing on me as well.....
You cannot run this from a network drive! Has to be ran from a local drive, or it crashes...heh (I have a main file server setup over gigabit)
If you've read up then you have Hard SPL installed. That means you can bypass the computer for the flashing. You can use the sd card method. I believe its safer and doesn't have those niggly little sync errors and there's less chance of the phone crashing/being reset or powered off. Recommended if you flash the radio rom where a simple problem results in a permanent brick.

Can't deploy apps

Hi all
Great forum...
I am trying to deploy an application from Visual Studio 2005 to my Zest phone. I have done this a hundred times in the past but for some reason it is now failing with an error:
The device security configuration disallowed the connection. Ensure that you have the appropriate certificates on your device for development. Review your SDK documentation for proper security settings for connecting to this device.
I have wasted two days now trawling the net trying to find a solution but with no luck.
I have tried to instal the SDKCerts.cab but it simply wont install.
I have tried to edit the registry using mobile registry editor but get access is denied.
I have tried to install enablerapi but that fails to install also.
I have move the .exe manually and tried to run it but it complains that the app is not signed with a trusted certificate.
I am not too clued up on certificates so I really don't know where to go next.
Any help really apprciciated.

[Q] need help installing java for android SDK

Hi folks
Seen as a lot of stuff can be flashed from using the android sdk interface im looking to set it up when i ran the installer it told me the java development kit(jdk) wasnt found so I went to the recommended link and went for the following:-
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) Bundles - JDK 6 Update 25 with Java EE - Windows x64 - English 130.89 MB java_ee_sdk-6u2-jdk-windows-x64.exe
now after I installed it, the sdk setup still told me I hadnt got a jdk installed, I also restarted pc and tried still same thing. What am i missing?
edit:- after some more testing and searching I tried the standard windows java install and its worked now finishing the install now.
Yeh the installer is bugged. When it says it's not installed just press back then next.
Also try to reboot

[Q] Wildfire s usb_drive / Device not found

Hey guys
I specialy registered to this forum for my next question/problem.
First of all, I'm using Wildfire s, 2.3.7, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-marvel.KANG + i'm using Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I was trying to install
"[Tool] Android Screencast 0.4 (open-source)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
But when i connect my htc to pc with usb debugging it fails to install the driver. I've downloaded many usb_drivers from all over internet and tried to install them manually using device manager but it doesn't seem to work.
Finly i found the "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe and it worked on other computer (Win7). when i tried to install it in win 8 it gives an error telling that Driver installer in not supported for this OS. tried to run in capatibility mod but no luck.
Also tried to modify the usb_driver files "android_winusb" my adding lines in end etc.. still didn't work.
usually i don't ask help from any forum rather i google things and read other ppl posts. which worked.... until now So now i'm asking for help at this topic, i've been through almost every post in xda telling about Device not found, without any luck there eith.
If needed it's possible to remote controll my pc with teamviewer.
Help is really appreciated.
ps. device manager shows that yellow attention mark.
TEMP FILES / Extract .msi~
I got it work myself after all.
If you need help to install the device, mail me.
[email protected]
why not just post the answer?
had trouble getting drivers for windows 8 64 to work when trying to flash ruu update. could not find drivers online or a thread on xda, eventually downloaded the google drivers from sdk, and they worked perfectly after manually installing them for the android phone and then again for the android 1.0 device when it boots to hboot.
