EDIT!!!

Hello
I have a HTC one X(from Sweden) with Android 4.2.2 installed on it and i want to root it to upgrade to 4.4. I downloaded "OneXRootOneClick" but when i run the file to root as administrator in windows 7 i get "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command "
i then got the newest Android SDK and unpacked it @ > C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools
i then ran the following in CMD
set ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools"
set ANDROID_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\tools"
set path=%path%;%ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS%;%ANDROID_TOOLS%
but when i run the file in OneXRootOneClick again i get the very same thing once more, do anyone know why or how i could another way root my android(possibly without a reset)?
noone got any answer to this ? :/
Open a command window inside the platform tools folders and place the phone in the bootloader, you should see fastboot USB in red text. Type this in the command window :
Fastboot devices
Tell me what happens.
And don't use a tool, let's do this the old fashioned way with straight commands.

Now, I have figured out that I have to actually be in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder for ADB to work, but when I type adb devices it just says List of devices attached but doesn't list my Evo.
I have USB debugging on.
An Android ADB/rooting noob guide would be very helpful right now.

Does it have anything there when you type adb devices? Should come up with a HT and some numbers after it....being your device, EVO.
Actually, there is a step by step Guide for EVO root, and a ADB Guide for Beginners
Your device isn't being recoginized check the driver if u r in windows.
Ok, I managed to figure out the cryptic SDK installer and download the USB driver package to android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. I used Device Manager to install the driver and I pointed it to that folder and I get the "Windows was unable to install your ADB".
Are you already Rooted? as for the Drivers, when I plugged in my EVO via USB, it installed drivers...I also copied the HTC Sync that came on the SDCard w/phone, onto my pc. But I did not have to do anything further.
Can I ask what you are trying to do in adb? and is this for the EVO?
use the cd command to make sure you are in the android sdk tools folder
if you want adb to work
what i do
1. use the cd command to go to the directory where my sdk is located which for example is c:\androidsdk\tools
2. there you go
3. if you want shell make sure your device is connected
"adb shell"
and have htc sync from evo's sd card installed
http://myevo4g.net/main/?p=83
Sent from my HTC EVO
download htc sync and install that. i was having the same problems and apparently the usb drivers that get installed with that app are the ones that worked like a charm for me.
Try
Code:
./adb devices
Instead.
--> try" adb start-server "
If your HTC dont show up, it's usually because the ADB server isnt running. Hope this helps =]
I've rooted a hero before and felt pretty confident with android sdk, usb drivers, etc. After spending an hour trying to get it to work on my win 7 64 bit system, I thought it might save someone some time if I posted what finally allowed me to get adb to work.
My problem was the computer wouldn't recognize the EVO as a device. Even after I installed the usb drivers through android sdk. I tried to manually update them through device manager (pointing it to the usb drivers directory) and still no luck.
As the video linked above showed, the missing piece for me was installing htc sync. use the version that comes on the phone. So connect the phone to the computer, mount it as a drive from the phone menu, then copy over the htc sync directory to your computer, then run it. The version on my phone was 2.031. THEN the computer will recognize it with usb debugging turned on and I'm able to adb to the phone through the command prompt.
Hope that helps someone. Sean
So I had launcherpro and know that it needs an update, but the update is only available on the Android platform through the Market/website.... and I can't connect to the internet on my Android platform (my Rhodium has wifi problems), nor is it just downloadable off their website onto my computer.
Is there a solution to this?
REVISION: Ok download APK file for the latest one but I can't figure out how to install it into the Android platform. Do I just place it on the root of the SD?
I appreciate any help.
if you have any kind of file manager (let's say Astro) you can copy the apk anywhere you want and navigate to it using astro,and simply run it.
if you don't have a file manager (which i doubt since you seem to be using tiad's 1.21 or 1.23) you will have to use adb push command (you will need android SDK and ADB)
if you have chrome to phone use that
To elaborate on what farukb said involving adb, the command to install an apk stored on your PC would be:
adb install name_of_package.apk
so then if the apk of LauncherPro is named the default of "com.fede.launcher" then the command would be:
Code:
adb install com.fede.launcher.apk
To issue this command, you will need the Android SDK installed on your computer, which can be found here
You will also need to connect your device to your PC with a USB Cable and enable USB Debugging on your Android device which is found in Menu > Settings > Applications
i understand the process, but there's another problem. When in Android mode my phone doesn't connect to the pc.

turn it off and run windows,copy files and boot into android again
i'm really sorry for sounding like a noob. But I did all I can and I couldn't get it to install.
I'm going to list what I did so far:
I downloaded the APK file for launcherpro. I have it on my desktop.
I connected my phone to my computer (while in windows mode) and copied the file to two places: the Android root folder, and also to another folder labeled applications so I can access it in Windows mode.
I started up Windows, switched to Android and I cant' connect to wifi so I couldn't download the APK file... but I also couldn't connect with a USB cord while in Android mode.
I followed the advice and downloaded SDK Manager, but I can't type anything into the command prompt (nothing shows up while I'm typing) and besides my phone won't connect in Android mode.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "turn it off and run windows,copy files and boot into android again", where do i copy them to and how do i boot them in Android? Am I using the SDK manager wrong?
I appreciate all the help.

For ADB read this thread.
To automatically install apps when booting android, place your apps in AndroidApps folder. (I'm not sure if it works every time you boot or only when making a new data.img)
Hi,
I am trying to unlock the boot-loader for HTC one V using the steps given on their official website
followed all the steps, but when i reach step 8: and type in
>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
It just shows waiting for devices, whereas my device is already connected. and in the FASTBOOT mode
When I type
>fastboot devices
It shows nothing (should'nt It show the device which is already connected?)
I have the Android SDK installed and copied the 3 required files from the Platform-tools folder.
ie -
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
I have the USB debugging turned on,
HTC sync manager is installed and it also shows that the Driver is up-to-date.
Though, when I plug in the Phone in Fast Boot mode it shows USB device not recognized.(I am using Windows 8 Pro )
This Is the first time I am trying this
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

Run the SDK Manager, do you have the Google USB Driver installed (it's under extras). I'm not 100% certain but I think you need to install that to recognize the phone in Fastboot mode.

Hey, Thanks for your reply, I had the Driver installed already, but there was some problem with Usb3.0 i guess
I plugged the device in Usb2.0 port and followed the steps and It worked Fine.
:good:
I am new to android, HTC One VX being my first phone ((Got it like Last year as a gift iirc)).
Using Stock rom and my os is 8.1 pro x64
I am trying to unlock the bootloader.. I went to HTCdev, followed the directions for unlocking the bootlader.
1. Got the Android SDK and installed
2. Got the HTC SYnc Manager for the drivers.
3. Got Fastboot and moved it to where the ADB .dll file is.
I get my phone into bootloader after making sure USB Debugging is enabled, then I plug it into my computer. After a few moments, Windows pops up with USB Device is not recognized. I check Device Manager, it shows "My HTC" under unknown devices. I manually point the thing to where the W8 x64 driver is , and it says the driver is up to date. Bring up the Property info of the device, this is what is showing int he text box,
Code:
A request for USB BOS descriptor failed
Just to make sure, I navigate back to the ADB folder, bring up CMD there and type in
Code:
adb devices
. No device was listed despite my phone being connected to my computer. Tried it with 3 different cords, front and back of my computer. ((USB 3.0 ports.))
I put it in one of my USB 2.0 ports and the issue persists, the device status shows
Code:
A device which does not exist was specified
.
Is there anyway to fix this, its quiet annoying, Apparently doing clean reinstalls of everything isn't going to fix it for me.
Pixel XL (Verizon) Not Being Recognized via "ADB Devices" command on Windows 7.
So I got my 128gb pixel xl from Verizon today. It's still 7.1.0 (Build NDE63P) so I want to unlock the bootloader asap. I was able to get the phone booted up and mostly set up without taking the OTA update (I pulled sim card before booting the phone for the first time, and I skipped the wifi setup).
I intended to follow the instructions here to use dePixel8 to unlock the bootloader. I got USB debugging enabled on my phone, and ABD/Fastboot installed on my computer (Windows 7 laptop). The problem is the phone doesn't come up in the list when I use the "adb devices" command from the command prompt within the SDK folder. Looking at the device manager, it appears my laptop is automatically installing the "Google Nexus ADB Interface" driver for the phone, is this not the correct driver? I downloaded the USB drivers from here and tried pointing the Device Manager at them to force a driver update, but the device manager tells me the drivers are already up to date.
Can someone please explain to me how to get my computer (Windows 7) to recognize my phone via ADB so I can push dePixel8 and unlock the bootloader? I feel like I'm so close to being able to unlock the bootloader, but my phone not being recognized via ADB is driving me freaking crazy.
Thanks!
EDITED TO ADD: If I turn off USB debugging, and just put the phone in File Transfer mode when connecting via USB, it never shows up in Windows Explorer as any kind of storage device, which would make me think its a problem with the driver, right?
That link has the wrong Fastboot ADB version. Use this one

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm currently uninstalling Android Studio and SDK I downloaded, and will install the one you linked.
I think this is still a problem related to the driver Windows 7 is automatically installing for my phone. If I turn off USB debugging, and just put the phone in File Transfer mode when connecting via USB, it never shows up in Windows Explorer as any kind of storage device, which would make me think its a problem with the driver, right?
