Um, you must be in the platform-tools folder of Android-sdk to use adb. So first navigate to that directory. It is typically in -
Code:
Windows 32 bit - C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Windows 64 bit - C:\Program Files(X86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Use cd to navigate into platform-tools and then try using adb commands

can't push anything via ADB

hello folks.
i'm trying to push bootanimation via adb and when i enter the first command i'm getting an error.
C:\>adb shell mount /system
- exec '/system/bin/sh' faild: no such file or directory (2) -
i'm using modaco root r4 and 3.1 rom. if its matter :x
btw why cant i flash the bootanimation via recovery?
you cant use adb from the root of your hard drive you need to use the command prompt to navigate to the tools dirctory inside the android sdk, for example on my computer the correct path would be c:\android sdk\tools obviously it depends weather u have renamed the folder you extracted when you downloaded the sdk

adb server is out of date. killing...

i don't understand what i'm missing?

OS X .bash_profile

Ok, so i was creating a bash profile following a tutorial to use ADB through terminal
- Download the Android SDK for Macintosh at: Android SDK | Android Developers
- Extract it
- Download Fastboot for OSX (If not included with SDK)
- Extract fastboot and place it in your /tools folder.
- Open up a terminal window
- type: pico .bash_profile (this will create a .bash_profile)
- type the following in the new screen: export PATH=$
{PATH}:<sdkfolder>/tools
- Hit CNTRL + X
- Hit Y (for yes to save)
- It will return you to the terminal screen… type: exit
- Restart terminal.

it worked the first time, but i just tried opening terminal again and it wouldn't work, so i started doing it again and i got to where i type export path=$ etc etc. now i screwed up and terminal thought my android SDK was in /users/myname/sdkfolder and not users/myname/android.....no worries i just renamed android to asdkfolder and all was well....
but now when i open terminal i get
-bash: {PATH}:: command not found
i can type
cd /users/myname/sdkfolder/tools and it will change directories but adb shell or fastboot devices doesn't work.
i'm super confused and i've tried googling solutions and found this thread
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ha...-changing-path-terminal-new-bash-profile.html
who had a similar problem but i'm still stuck.

bump for help
i started off using a bash profile and decided it wasn't necessary. just navigate to the folders you need to via terminal. from what i understand it causes more problem then its worth. i know this doesn't answer any questions just my .02 good luck.
I think the new SDK moves ADB to platform-tools.
So if you installed in folder "SDK" the new path should be...
"export PATH=${PATH}:/SDK/platform-tools"
you have to tell the terminal where to look for the command if it isn't in your profile.
I just navigate to the folder my sdk stuff is in then use a ./ infront of the command
Example
./adb shell instead of adb shell

I rooted using Toast but need some guidence.

After rooting using toast I am stuck at the recovery portion.
I am running Windows 7 64bit
Text in red are my questions.
RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS:
- Extract the evorecovery.zip to your desktop
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop
- In a shell: <----Where is shell?
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- this will reboot your EVO into recovery mode. at this point turn your attention to the directory u extracted the evorecovery.zip to.
Code:
For Windows XP ~~> Run recovery-windows.bat
For Vista and Windows 7 do it as Admin <---I did this part and nothing happened the cmd prompt came and went quick.
- in a shell do:
Code:
For Linux ~~> ./recovery-linux.sh
- at this point turn your attention to the phone and navigate to create a Nandriod Backup. you can now flash custom roms, write, and make changes to system.
- to flash a custom rom put the rom on the root of your sdcard. wipe data, dalvic cache and chose the option to flash update.zip from sdcard. <---How do I wipe? I am so lost here.
Any help to make this easier because I am seeing some Linux lingo and I dont know what to ignore and how to go about this with Windows. Thanks for any help.
First. What version? 1.47? Or below?
Swyped from my Evo 4G
I was on Version 1.47, then I did simple root and went to 1.17? I wanted to make sure I root correctly with NAND. So I was re-rooting Toasts way. Now I am on version 1.32. Here is a screenshot.
To get the shell just go to a command prompt. CD to your /tools folder and type "adb shell"

Thats not helping. I dont know how to CD? CD is for linux? I am on Windows.
How do I do the evo recovery? Please explain in simple terms.
Step by step would help.
Im guessing I need to install adb on the computer? But the links on the how to have 404 error.
EDIT:
Found the links for the sdk install. ITs updating and installing , I hope thats what is needed.
got it from here----> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
bump...
Really need some help. I would appreciate it very much. I dont want to go forward without doing this evo recovery.

The files are in the C drive no idea whats wrong
You can use the sdk, or you can install sync drivers by plugging your phone into your computer and choosing the sync option. Install the program when it asks you and you will have the adb installed!
Then you can simply open command prompt and go step by step. BTW cd is a msdos command also to change directory (get it cd ) but if you go the sync route you won't need to worry about cd as it will set the path variable for you.
Anyway, after you install the sync, make sure to switch your phone back to charge only
I plugged my phone in and chose HTC sync, after connected I dont see anything asking me to install. I did install HTC sync on my computer already is thats what you mean?
Yes. Do me a favor, open command prompt and type adb and hit enter. Does it spit out a bunch of stuff or does it say command not found?
I'm new to all this as well and have yet to root mine(still learning everything) but there is a video from youtube that might help you but since I'm a new user it won't let me post outside links.

It's easier for me to work it out here. But you are close, so let's just do this the hard way
You said you downloaded the sdk? So make sure its extracted. Then you want to go into that folder, find another folder called tools. Go into that folder and verify that you have a file called adb.
If so, let's set your path. Right click on any file inside of tools, click properties, and select the path or location and copy it. you should have copied the path to that folder. Then go to control panel, system, advanced system settings, then you should see a button called environmental variables. Click on that, then in the lower half of the screen scroll through the list and find the line that says PATH. Highlight it and select edit. Inside this dialog you will go to the end of the line, make sure there is a semicolon, and paste what you copied earlier and end it with a semicolon. Then apply or ok through all the dialog,s, open new command prompt as admin and do adb again.

just so you know this is the name of the directory... C:\android-sdk\tools
Let me know the next step!
First of all
You were on the right track. I noticed that you typed cd c:\adndroid-sdk-windows\tools. This is misspelled and probably why your computer couldn't find the directory. If you put the android-sdk-windows file folder in the root of your C drive then you should be able to go into a command prompt and type cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools . Then type "adb shell" (without quotation marks) and you should be in an adb shell where you can deliver commands directly to your phone based upon adb code. I am a new user here so I'm not able to post links but copy and past the link into your browser and put http before it. Here's the very helpful link with a recovery guide from Toast: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
If the file is named android-sdk then open a command prompt and type cd c:\android-sdk\tools hit enter then type adb shell.
Sorry lost track of what your question was!
You should be able to follow your guide now. Check out the wiki link at the top of this forum. Use the cache links since the Wilk is down. Anywho, from your first post, shell is the command prompt. So when it says open shell it means open your command prompt. The adb commands should all work.
Your question as to what wiping is, that is a feature of your recovery when you get to that part. Normally you use all the wipe options for data/cache/dalvik. This just cleans stuff out when you flash a new Rom so that you don't get any weird errors.

Trying to Install Takju on Mac, Not Working

Hey all. I'm trying to install Takju on my Yakju Galaxy Nexus on a Mac. I have my folder with the Google factory images and fastboot-mac inside of it. When I navigate to the folder and type in:
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
It says ./fastboot-mac: No such directory. Any ideas why? I have the fastboot-mac file smack dab in the folder. My phone is in bootloader mode as well.
So you've pointed terminal at the proper folder? Have you tried just renaming it Fastboot? It doesn't have to be called Fastboot-Mac.
What happens if you do a ./fastboot devices? Make sure you've turned on USB debugging and booted into fastboot mode.
I use this ADB and Fastboot just fine: View attachment Mac_ADB_Fastboot.zip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9ZDWmbLVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player try thoes commands.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It says the same thing, no such file or directory.
To navigate to the folder I simply drag it into the command prompt and press enter right?

you have to do "cd" then drag the folder in.
For example I have my ADB/Fastboot folder in my home directory, so I open Terminal and type:
Code:
cd <Fastboot folder name>
and the Terminal will return properly:
Code:
<Computer Name>:<Fastboot folder name> <home folder name>$
If the folder was on your desktop:
Code:
cd Desktop/<Fastboot folder name>/
Ah, thanks for that. But now when I do:
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
It says -bash: ./fastboot-mac: Operation not permitted

HELP!!!! Cannot update FTV manually

Tried these steps
Connect to your Fire TV using ADB
(If you don’t know how, follow up to Step 4 Part 2 in our Windows or Mac guide)
Run the command: adb shell
Run the command: su
(If this is the first time you’ve ever run su, a pop-up will appear on the Fire TV, select Grant)
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery
Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
Run the command: echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command
Run the command: exit
Run the command (yes, again): exit
Run the command: adb push update.zip /cache
(This assumes the update.zip file you renamed in step 2 is in the same directory as adb, otherwise enter the full path to the file like adb push C:\full\path\to\update.zip /cache)
Once the update.zip file has finished transferring to the Fire TV, run the command: adb reboot recovery
The update.zip file is on the same folder where the adb platform-tools is located, but when I enter the full path it says no such file or directory.
Mine looks like this C:\Users\XXX\platform-tools>adb push update.zip /cache
What am I doing wrong, please help

when you push a file with adb, the file must be in the same folder/path you're running the adb command from. From your example, you need update.zip on your PC at C:\users\Stevie G\platform-tools\
The error is saying the file isn't at that path.

might have issues with the space in Stevie G, try a folder without spaces.
