it wont let me post my question on that thread, so please don't get mad at me for asking here.
in the tutorial, it says to put the phone in download mode and launch odin3, okay, i have done all those steps and not done anything different.
It's connected and odin3 isn't doing anything after i press start, is this because i need the android sdk? if so, is there something more i should have as well? I am fairly new to this, just bought the phone off amazon, works nice, hate that I cant delete the bloatware and not loving the idea of CarrierIQ on it. Its taking forever to do anything and i am sure its not the computer, octacore amd fx processor, 8gb ram, windows 7 64-bit ultimate edition.. just need to understand and it sucks we cant ask a question directly on the topic at hand for us new to the site, but i can understand that it must get old answering the same questions over and over, specially if no one bothers to read.
many thanks to those who are willing to help.
nevermind, i got it.. the next time anyone else has this problem.. yes, you must have adb somehow to issue commands for this install.
I was not sure if odin3 1.85 had it compiled into it or not, I'm not a developer, but I do test what I can.
anyways for those who also have the issue for path variables for installation of android software development kit, make sure you have the Java se jdk installed and read the readme guide that comes in the doc folder where you installed your jdk to. it explains what you gotta do to have android sdk install properly.
afterwords, you will want to install android sdk. make sure to install it into the c:\ root so you can access it easily. once installed, go to your start menu and run the android sdk app, this will open a launcher and you want to install platform-tools, as well as Google USB drivers as a precautionary act.
I would also recommend using Samsung kies2 to install your drivers for your phone as it seems to always get that right for my installs.
one more little thing, if you can't find the manual that installed the Java SE JDK, Google "Java jdk enviroment variable how to"
you might also add the following in your "PATH" environment variable, no spaces and keep all data there as is, just paste this in and modify the installed location to your android sdk.
;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools
now just click okay and your all set to use adb everytime, as long as you add it all right. I'LLC touch up this file after work as I am on my phone or this would be easier LOL.

Never once have I had to have andriod sdk to use anything on odin.. maybe u needed the drivers installed first and sdk put them there for u if the didn't come ripped from the phone
I didn't think I would have to, but it made me this time and I dunno why. Like I said I'm no developer, but it seems like a lot of crap just to get adb running and I've always had Odin come with adb. I dunno. But thank you for this, maybe worth looking into deeper..

I used kies for the drivers and I had to use adb, but never the whole sdk.
I used to own the older captivate which lead me to purchase this one because I loved my captivate. I also have owned a Motorola Droid milestone, Motorola Droid, Samsung intercept and, Samsung galaxy s captivate. All had to use adb to be rooted and unlock/recover at one point in time or another..
Maybe Odin just comes precomiled like previously stated? Again, thank you.

I didn't update my apps for about 2 weeks since I was more or less in a permanent network trouble. When I now try to update my apps, it's always said, the downloas are about to start, but they never do...
I am running froyo 2.2 and app 2 sd - no idea what's wront here...
hope somebody could help me out!
thx
Very occasionally my downloads stall and to fix it I generally:
1. Cancel all downloads
2. Check that I'm logged into Talk
3. Start the downloads again
This usually fixes it for me.
Regards,
Dave
I also had this from time to time and usually after a reboot it worked, but this time it already persists a while and the updates are getting more n more.I also thought that I started too many at once. But also a single one won't start...
By talk you mean gtalk? Why is that?
Thx
Essentially (and rather simplistically!), for many services, the OS uses the GTalk protocol to communicate with the device.
Regards,
Dave
Didn't know that. How do I check? if I click in the freak icon after a second I'm back on the desktop with that icon. Does that mean I was logged in?
Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home
Any problems with Google servers???
Thanks
GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.
Regards,
Dave
I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?
thx
If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

Dave

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?
installing on the phone would be quite cynical
help folks!

Yes.
There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.
Tryed restore to no luck.
My fix.
1.Format memory card first.
2. factory restore
3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)
4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)
5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.
No problem since
Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.
Hope that helps.
There you go

As you can see i simplified procedure a lot.
still trying to figure with the ADB.
I am stuck with the USB drivers - can't find them in the download package as described
Finally, you need to install the USB drivers. Again, the instructions are present in the SDK guide as well, but here’s how you can do it. Please note that my device was a Samsung GT-i5700 Galaxy Lite, and since I had Samsung drivers already installed, this didn’t happen to me. The procedure I am describing here is theoretical and taken from the SDK manual.
The drivers for both x86 and x64 systems are present in the SDK, under <sdk>\usb_driver\x86 and <sdk>\usb_driver\x64, respectively.

what is meant by the bold part?Can't find the drivers in the downloaded sdk package!
anybody got advice?
thx!
I'm really in need for help - more and more apps are getting out of date and I can't update them! I just don't know where to find those mentioned USB drivers!

Try my fix. Yes, I know, you will have to start from scratch with the phone, but it's worth it.

I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.
I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...
I did a clean install of windows 7, ad now I can't recognize ADB drivers or use ADB, what do I do...I DID google it already, but all it said was to reinstall drivers...but I have the unrevoked drivers on there and dont know if I should just reinstall them?
Thanks
Unreevoked drivers are for rooting
Don't you need the HTC sync drivers for adb

Did you reinstall Android SDK?

Yeah I reinstalled. Won't htc sync drivers remove root?
No. What phone do you have? Not 2nd guessing you, but it sounds like an issue with SDK setup.
sent from my Incredible using tapatalk pro
HTC Incredible, and I ran SDK intsaller and DL'd EVERYTHING that showed up.
I am rooted, running redemptive rEVOlution...could that be the issue that its based off the evo framework?
Did you place it on root of primary drive, if so check how it is named.(Spelling, caps, ect.) Also make sure you place it in path. I understand your frustration, but don't let it get to you. It makes small things easy to overlook. Any changes to the phone? Make sure you have usb debugging turned on.

If i DL the USB drivers from unrevoked and just reinstall those, will it start working again?
im currently trying to reinstall the sdk. it now automatically put the path to my tools folder in the variables path. but if it doesn't work can I do wat was stated above ^^?

Hi I just wanted to know if I would be able to remove stock apps on my desire hd by rooting it. Apps such as twitter, stocks etc.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
After you have root, yes.
First thing to do after root, is a Clockwork backup of your current ROM. Commonly referred to as a nand backup.
Then use Titanium Backup. Do a full backup again, (but not as comprehensive as a nand), and you can use the same app to remove the apps you don't want.
It also allows you to 'freeze' apps. Essentially hiding them from the system. Letting you test if removing that app has adverse effects.

Also if you plan on installing custom roms once rooted. You can just delete the apps you don't want prior to flashing.
thanks guys i'll be having a go tonight. just out of curiosity I use linux as my main system at home. I have windows as a virtual install inside linux, but it can sometimes be funny with detecting some usb's. will i be able to root my phone with linux or does it have to be windows?
fingers crossed i dont brick my phone

If you use the so-called all-in-one rooting tools, I guess you need to use Windows.
However, if you take the "adb" method (adb push, adb shell, etc.), then I believe you can do this under Linux with adb. Since you are familiar with Linux, adb should make you feel at home.
I personally rooted my DHD purely with adb commands, though not under Linux.

For my final year project I'm creating an Android app. As i'm sure most of you are aware the Android emulator is incredibly slow and so I want to run the app on my phone instead each time. I know you can do this usually but as my phone is rooted and running a ROM (that isn't stock), it doesn't give me the option to run on the phone when I run the project (I know you can usually do this because my friends unrooted phone works fine). Is there anyway I can get my rooted phone to work or will I have to revert to stock?
Many thanks
You might be better off in another non device specific forum.
But in general, yes, it can. The only thing a stock ROM can do that a custom one can't is consume more resources, battery, and space than necessary.
Do you mean to install an app? Just tap on the .apk file on a file manager or something and it should let you install.
Go into developer options and click whatever needs to be checked. If you run adb devices and it shows up, you should be able to install it on your device. If you are using eclipse the option should show when you try to run the program.

No, I mean just running the app like I would through the emulator without installing the .apk file on the phone.

When I adb devices it wasn't showing anything so I downloaded PdaNet and this re-installed the correct drivers for my phone. It now works :victory:
You cannot run an app without installing it ..
when u use the emulator on pc and and connect your phone via datacable to run your app on it , the emulator actually installs that app in your phone and then run it ! most probably u r not confused with this ...
Hey everyone, I've been meaning to get into android development for a good amount of time. I do somewhat know java (used to know it a lot better, but, use it or lose it...), but I can't seem to get Eclipse running (see the picture for were I get stuck at). I wanted to start out by going through Google's "My First App" tutorial, found here. I can't seem to get through setting up my first project though. I did download the newest ADT package from Google's servers and do have Android 4.0+ SDKs downloaded and installed, along with the tools and extras too. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit too. Any help would be great! Also the "Install/Upgrade" and "Check again" buttons do nothing. I believe I have the newest things and have the newest ADT, but I still can't find what to update.

I'm no pro at this but judging by the message you need to pull the dependencies from your phone thru adb. I could be way off though. Lol
