"Step 5: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, Make sure that the connection type in the Notification Pull-Down Bar is "Charge Only", not "Disk Drive" or else this won't work.
If your computer asks you to restart after the new drivers were installed, do that now
Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory.
Code:
adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push flash_image /data/local/

Did you do ALL of this first?
Step 1: Download the Android SDK here
Step 2: Extract the Android SDK zip. Move the contents of the extracted zip to C:\
Your Android tools folder path should now be C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Step 3: Download HTC Sync 2.0.40 here
Run the installer. Move on once installed. If reboot is required, do so and then move on.
Download my evo-root.zip.
It contains a few files necessary to root the EVO.
Unzip the contents of the zip to your android sdk tools folder.
Download the unrevoked-forever.zip
Place this zip in your tools folder as well, as a zip, not extracted.
Download this PC36IMG.zip (This is the same as running an RUU, so it will delete all of your user data when we use it later in the guide, so backup everything you want to save on your phone first)
Put this zip in your sdk tools folder as well, as a zip, not extracted.
After unzipping the contents of evo-root.zip to your android sdk tools folder and placing the PC36IMG.zip and unrevoked-forever.zip in the folder, move on.

You need to change the directory to your tools fold so that the computer can execute advanced commands. Look for a thread about setting up adb. In the thread it will tell you the steps to do so. I would post this for you however I do not have access to a computer and I am use to using advanced on a Mac.

ADB.exe

Sorry for the noob question but when I download the latests SDK there is no ADB.exe file in the tools directory anymore.
How do I start ADB with the latest SDK release?

What are your folders once extracted? It will be in one of them!

do you mean it was there an now its gone??
also have you hooked up phone(charge only) to usb, opened command prompt and type adb devices to see if adb starts? cause it may just be placed in different folder in sdk. think it does in new sdk but can't remember which folder doh .

This is the content of my tools folder:
Code:
cat ls.txt
android
ant
apkbuilder
ddms
dmtracedump
draw9patch
emulator
etc1tool
hierarchyviewer
hprof-conv
layoutopt
lib
ls.txt
mksdcard
monkeyrunner
NOTICE.txt
proguard
source.properties
sqlite3
traceview
zipalign
(Same content in my SDK folder in Windows. No ADB.exe..)

have you try to run adb in cmd.exe ?
have a look in platform-tools folder it were im finding adb but im on linux mint right now but should be same

I don't have that folder.
If I download the SDK (zip) from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html adb.exe is not in it..
Is that the same for you guys?

no thats were i downloaded from, both windows and linux hold on il go into windows an have a look but have you try running adb you can only start it in command prompt (cmd.exe) if your using windows xp. just right click in any windows from menu choose command prompt,plug phone to usb,make sure you have usb debugging on in phone(setting>application >development) and then type adb devices and see itf adb starts for you.
try doing this.

yeah its in platform-tools folder and you can find this in the main folder of the android-sdk-windows folder
check it out it there

Platform-tools doesn't come with the sdk by default if I recall correctly. You need to run the sdk manager and select it as an optional component to download. I'm a long way from my computer right now so I can't double check for you sorry.

lol prob why can't find it

It's not there (even after update all)
Thanks anyway..

Looks like it's all change since the version I downloaded when I got my Hero last year.
Taken from the SDK Readme in the latest SDK download, confirming what has been said above:
Welcome to the Android SDK!
The Android SDK archive now only contains the tools. It no longer comes
populated with a specific Android platform or Google add-on. Instead you
use the SDK Manager to install or update SDK components such as platforms,
tools, add-ons, and documentation.
In order to start developing applications, you must install at least one
version of the Android platform using the SDK Manager.
This requires an Internet connection, so if you plan to use the SDK
offline, please make sure to download the necessary components while online.
To start the SDK Manager, please execute the program "SDK Setup.exe".
From the command-line you can also directly trigger an update by
executing:
tools\android.bat update sdk
For more information, please consult the Android web site at
http://developer.android.com

Is someone going to just solve the mystery?
Lots of talk
So bottom line, will someone just solve the mystery.
1) If it is installed with SDK where is it and why does search not find it.
2) If it is NOT installed where do we get it.
Thanks

You have to install platform tools from "sdk manager.exe".....adb will be under the platform-tools folder after that

Don't search for it. Go to the directory and look for it. Windows search is a joke

I have done that as well and find to trace of that file? I use a third party search which is better than windows search...does not exist c:/android/***** which is the install directory for the SDK.
Again...if it is not there where do I get it?

As already stated, it is not installed with the SDK by default. In the tools folder there's a text file called "adb_has_moved.txt" which tells you that you need to launch the SDK and install "Android SDK Platform-tools" to get it. Like chrisz5z said.

[Guide] Get Swype back. For a Noob. By a Noob.

No ADB knowledge needed. Just follow instructions.
1. Download mini-adb Here
2. Extract that and put it on your desktop.
3. Download original image file Here
4. Extract the image file using winrar, and put the extracted file onto your desktop.
5. Go into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to
Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\app and find swype.apk.
6. Take the swype.apk, copy it, and paste it into your mini-adb folder you extracted in step 2. Put it here: Desktop\EZ-MiniADB\MiniADB. The folder should also have RunMe.bat and adb.exe, and also the newly pasted swype.apk
7. Go back into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\lib and find libSwypeCore.so
8. Copy and paste that libSwypeCore.so into the same folder you pasted the Swype.apk
9. Go download HTC sync and install it.
10. Plug your phone into the laptop and make sure debugging mode is on.
9. Now go to your mini-adb folder on your desktop and double click RunMe.bat
10. When the black command prompt window pops up, type the following:
adb remount [PRESS ENTER]
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/ [PRESS ENTER]
adb push swype.apk /system/app/ [PRESS ENTER]
11. Unplug your phone, and you are done! You can set the option of using swype in your settings!
+1 Thanks if you got Swype Working
ADB KNOWLEDGE
Now that you used ADB to push the files, you can also use ADB to push other things to other places. Just make sure whatever you want to push is in the same folder as your RunMe.Bat....

or you could use the root explorer app and extract the files, move the files and install the apk from there... much easier and you dont have to use ADB

Quite frankly I never came across with a guide with your method. If you think your way is better, go make a guide for it. All the guides I came across didn't work for me except for this one, so that is why I made a guide.

I also found this .apk called Swype Restore in the Cyanogen forums.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...over-your-swype-after-installing-cyanogenmod/

Does the tutorial mentioned in OP require me to have this Cyanogen mod installed ? .. I just got a Desire Z about a week or two ago and I'm just running the default stuff and would like to just install Swype into that directly if possible ..

Or just sign up for the beta and install it...

If you take the effort to do it this way, you can always reinstall swype in like 3 seconds, beceause the apk and the lib file is already in ur mini adb folder.

I finally got my htc one rooted and flashed plenty of roms so far I had a lot of stupid issues with rooting but guys on here were very helpful even tho I had to ask questions over and over again to troubleshoot problems. Easiest way was to dl rumrunner and get s-off and bootlader loaded. Them just flash a recovery. My buggiest prob was getting all files on my comp into a separate folder and opening a cmd from that folder. Also remember to always run stuff on ur comp as an administrator!

how did you flash recovery? I am having such a hard time flashing recovery!

put recovery.img in adb folder

Easier to just type "fastboot flash recovery (drag recovery.img here)"
that way you can save the recovery on your desktop or wherever. I wish adb/fastboot could be ran from anywhere and not just the adb folder though.

if you set it up correctly it can be, I can put the .img in my C folder, open a cmd and run commands, but it would still need the adb file.
so put the recovery whereevere your adb.exe is..
you can even make a folder called apktool in c: (thats what I have, that has adb.exe, fastboot, smali, baksmali, etc)

Adding the path to the adb.exe (and fastboot.exe) directory, to the environment variables, allows you to run ADB and Fastboot from any directory.
In Windows, right+click "Computer", select "Properties", click on "Advanced System Settings". On the "Advanced" tab select "Environment Variables" . In the bottom window find the "Path" string and add the path to ADB directory to the end.
The Paths in the string are separated by a semi-colon, so for example, I've added the path to my platform-tools directory like such:
;c:\android-sdk\platform-tools
This can also be done in Linux and Mac OS X, environment variables are stored in a hidden text file in the home folder. You can also adde it by typing the the PATH command in a terminal. Just Google it. Only takes a minute and saves time by not having to "CD" to your ADB directory every time.
