Have you been through the guide that I linked above, and done all the steps to get adb setup on your PC ?
If you're having a problem with the gfree procedure it would be best if you post up a question in it on that thread. Are you sure you're typing the commands exactly as it says there ?

the only thing i wanna know how to execute files,where should i put gfree on my comp and on my phone so the adb cmd recognize it,thanks once again .adb working fine it recognize my device the only thing it dont recognize any cmds,file or directory not found..

When you are running adb, if for example you do "adb push gfree", where you are trying to copy (push) the file "gfree" from your PC to your phone, it will look in your current directory for gfree. So given you are usually doing this at the command prompt, in Windows do a "cd" (change directory) to change to the directory where you have put gfree.
For example, if gfree is in "\users\fred\desktop", then do "cd \users\fred\desktop", then run your "adb push gfree" and it will find the file.
If you do "adb shell" does that work, does it come up with a $ prompt ? If so, then it's working and has started a command "shell" on your phone.

(q) adb

I know this is a noob question but I installed the sdk on my windows vista 32bit PC I've read like everything I could about doing this but I can't seem to get adb working when I run cmd adb it says 'adb' is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I'm pretty new to this but want to be able to use this any help would be great thanks in advance..

Are you running adb from within the /platform-tools directory?

The basics of adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694250
You have to run the commands from wherever you extracted the sdk ex I put mine on the main c drive so I have to type this first:
cd c:/android-sdk-windows/tools

I tried it from the start menu and that was what it said I also tried it in platform-tools it just flashes the screen for a second and thats all..

You're getting that error because you're not in the folder where adb is. Look in the platform-tools folder. You can run it from that folder, or just copy it into the tools folder.

If all you are using from the SDK is ADB, then moving ADB to the /tools directory is not an issue. This will bork the functionality of other tools in the SDK though.

U can also add it to ur command lines so u don't have to always be in ur sdk folder to use it. Google adb and there r instructions on how to do this. Its very easy

[Q] Struggling to install Android SDK Tools :? [adb error]

hey y'all
I'm currently having issues installing Android SDK to my laptop (running Windows 7 32-bit)
I've downloaded Android SDK program but I try to install it says "Java SE Development Kit (JDK) not found", prompting me to download the kit from java.oracle.com
So off to Java, I download the kit under link ' jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe'
Install the kit successfully and try to install Android SDK again...but same error message
Android SDK Tools: installer_r11-windows.exe
Java JDK: jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe
I've even uninstalled and re-installed HTC Sync, copied the HTC_Driver_32 & extract in C:drive...
I've been following the instructions from these links:

It's a known issue. If you have JDK when you install SDK and get that error juck click back and then forward.

Check the ../platform-tools in stead of ../tools directory.

In my tools directory, I noticed a txt file (adb_has_moved)
Open it and it says:
'The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/
If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
Please also update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can execute adb from any location.'
So I open Android SDK and AVD Manager, it immediately starts to look for updates and gives me this error message:
'Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Connection timed out: connect'
What now?
Even tried open Manager from cmd (using android.bat from tools directory), didn't immediately look for updates but eventually it did & gave same error!
HELP?

It should update. Don't you have some firewall that precludes it to download updates ?
Edit: If you are using windows don't install Android SDK into the Program Files directory. You need special permissions to modify that folder so that's why you might have problems in the future. What you have reported first is a connection problem which has to be firewall related.

[Q] problem with themeing

So everything gone fine till I try to push the framework-res.apk to my phone.
adb push framework-rez.apk /system/framework/
'adb' is not a recongnized as an internal or external command,
know I understand what that means but I installed SDK manager and had no cmd in there so I just used Command Prompt. If that is all of my problem how to I get SDK cmd? It didnt install when I installed the problem.

It's not enough to just install SDK manager, you also have to install ADB if you want to interface with your phone through your computer. You shouldn't have to go through SDK manager to use ADB once you have it installed, it should work straight through windows command prompt.

That will walk you through installing adb. Good luck.

Well thank you that helped me get pass that issue. Now how do I change the permissions on my phones framework-res.apk?
The error I have now is
"failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apl': Read-only file system."
I can't seem to figure a way around this.

I had that issue too, how I bypass it is to boot to CWM, go to "mounts and storage", then mount /system (and /data if that's relevant to what you're pushing). Others have used a line of code to mount the system from the PC end, but I find this easier to do through the phone.

Thank you that did the trick

Go to the system32 folder on your c drive and copy cmd from there to your tools folder in the sdk.
Now when you want to push, put the files you want to push in the tools folder and then open up the cmd that you placed in that folder, then run the push command.

It worked for the file being in that folder and all. But I still have to do it in recovery and unmount system. I still get the read-only error

Hi, I'm trying to follow theinstructions here:

I have the SDK installed, the phone is rooted, CYGWIN is installed, etc. But I cannot get ADB to work in Cygwin. It doesn't respond as a command even though I know that the phone can connect using adb. Do you have any suggestions?

Why do you try adb in cygwin? Cygwin doesn't use the cmd of windows so adb won't work.
