File recovery - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi, I'm trying to follow theinstructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705&nocache=1
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.

Setting Up Adb on Mac *CLOSED*

I have my Evo rooted with DC 3.1.1 and I also have Nand Unlock via Toasts Way. But I did all of this using Windows. I already installed Android SDK for Mac. But every time I try to execute a command after I do the cd /android-sdk/tools. It just says -bash: adb: command not found. Can anyone give me a hand?
same issue for me

Unlocking Xoom on a Mac (edit - solved!)

Hey guys, while I'm not exactly new to rooting, it has been quite some time since I rooted my N1 (and that was the only time I've ever rooted anything. I'm now a little lost with the unlock/rooting process. At this point,:
*I have the latest SDK, and I've updated the Platform Tools and added the contents to the Tools folder
*I've connected via USB and I've done the volume-down-power-up combination and have the "Starting Fastboot protocol support" screen.
However, that's all I've been able to do, and I honestly don't know what I'm missing. I can't get the the commands in Terminal to communicate with the tablet. Any assistance that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
You have the Motorola v4.9 USB charging drivers installed?
When you do "adb devices" in terminal, can you confirm the Xoom is recognized?
If it is, following the guide here on XDA should go swimmingly. If it isn't, something is wrong with your SDK installation.

Well I was looking for drivers initially, but then I read in the "how to unlock" thread that someone said drivers werent needed on a Mac. Plus I looked for Mac drivers and couldn't find any, just Windows.

Well I'm not sure I'm opening Terminal in the right location. Entering "adb devices" gives me "command not found.
Ah, Mac, I'm of no use to you then.
Well should anybody see this, I'm still trying to get this to work. I can now confirm that the xoom does not show up after entering "adb devices". Otherwise I think the SDK is set up properly...at least I think it is.
take the file you want to use (adb or fastboot) and drag/drop in to the terminal window. Then just finish typing the command.

AH, FINALLY! See, I knew whatever the solution would be, it would be a simple one. Xoom unlocked! Now to move on to root! Thanks a LOT!

Set your path. Edit your .bash_profile and you can run commands from anywhere in the terminal. Example:
Code:
export PATH=$HOME/bin/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:$HOME/bin/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools:$PATH

can you give me a thread about that?i want to know more!
In these tutorials the android SDK is outdated - Download it from the official site, to get the latest version.
I used the first method to set it up on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. I can confirm it works.

ADB works fine in Windows 7, even on x64. Download the latest HTC Sync, run the setup file then cancel it after the first stage (driver install) if you only want the drivers. Then go to your adb directory via command prompt and type adb remount (make sure the phone is plugged in and turned on, doesn't need to be unlocked or set to Disk drive though)

What is your PC's OS.. Where did you get adb and fastboot??

Fastboot/adb
phunkie123 said:
My PC's OS is windows 7 home premium service pack 1. the fastboot was unlocked through the firewater method. if you mean the android-sdk tools i got them here
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?utm_source=weibolife
the fastboot still seems to work as i tried re-flashing TWRP. it was successful. but it still just seems to stay stuck at "Starting ADB sideload feature..."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok do this move everything from the folder platform-tools should be fastboot.exe and adb.exe and a few other files to the root of your c drive....
than open your CMD window as admin... make sure you open as admin... than type
Code:
cd /
to move to the root of you c dirve and then type
Code:
adb
let me know the out come of that....
