Go get the Android SDK. ADB is in there in the /platform-tools folder. Use it in a command line only.

[Q] Rooting Help

I apologize if this is already answered somewhere. I searched everywhere and could not find anything, but I might be using the wrong wording.
Anyways I am attempting to root my G2. I have managed to get adb onto the computer and it recognizes my phone. However, the next step in the wiki says to:
ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*​
However, it gives me error messages such as 'adb' is not recognized. I'm sure I am missing stupid but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.
Just use visionary, it is much easier. Click temp root and when it is done perm root

Make sure that the adb (and other stuff tha got installed) is in your PATH environment, or cd to that diectory and work from there.

I checked the path a few times because I thought that was the problem. However, it all looks good. I'm going to try on another computer tonight and see if that helps.
Did you make sure that all the necessary drivers were installed?
When you type 'ADB Devices' does it show your phone?
I used visionary and terminal emulator and haven't had any problems at all.

Yes it shows my phone when I type 'ADB Devices' That's what's causing my confusion. I've reinstalled all the drivers that are needed. From what I am seeing it SHOULD work.

Use ADB, MTP sucks on Linux.
Could try some type of wifi transfer app too. Like AirDroid.

Setup ADB and connect the phone w/ USB debugging turned on.
Use "adb push" and "adb pull" to take/send files to your device. For example:
Code:
adb push <file> /sdcard/

What do you actually see?
Maybe try deleting the bootanimation.zip on your phone directly and then re-flash:
Assuming you're on windows and the zip file bootanimation_droid_loop.zip is in your downloads directory
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
exit
adb push %userprofile%\downloads\bootanimation_droid_loop.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
adb reboot
I don't have a PC

Sorry... You did say that.
But what do you actually see on your screen when you boot?

No bootloader anymore

Hey guys,when I flashed cm9 primou the second time there isn't bootloader anymore also its very slow this time but the first time I installed it it was really really fast but now the important why isn't there bootloader anymore??its booting to recovery quickly without bootloader

Let your rom boot. Connect the phone to your computer. In your computer go into command line. Then in command line navigate to the folder where the adb.exe is stored. If you have adb.exe in C:\android then you will type "cd C:\android". Then type "adb reboot bootloader". Type without quotation marks. This is the most reliable way how to boot into bootloader. You should have known this by now if you seriously want to be a developer.
You can also create a .bat file to execute the script. To do this create a text file and type there first line: "adb kill-server second" line: "adb reboot bootloader". Without quotiation marks of course. Then save the text file. Then make sure you can see the known extensions in windows and change the extension of the file to .bat. Put the file in the folder with adb and you only need to double click it to reboot into bootloader. You can create a shortcut to the file that you can put into your desktop.
Thank you but it worked this time

That will kill the first server IF you have one opened, in order to let the new one to work (the one to reboot bootloader). It is a safe state to say the least because if you have one adb shell opened and you want to run the .bat that will open another shell, it won't work. And that's why you need the adb kill-server second .

But like the actual unlocking process fastboot and command prompt
according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 its not a problem.
For Mac, no drivers needed, unzip Evo4GLTERoot.zip to your Downloads directory then open up a terminal and do:
Code:
cd Downloads/Evo4GLTERoot
chmod 755 *
sh runmemac.sh
thats a direct copy and paste from the page..make sure it applies to you though.
