Literally, just the command: adb getvar all
If you need more guidance than that, just use the XDA search function with the term "easy adb" and you will get links for some good simple adb installers and beginner guides.

hear you go

The following thread describes how to flash firmware. You want the 4.16.401.10 firmware from the link on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
After that, you can unlock the bootloader again, install custom recovery, and flash the current version Viper.

thank you so much but which spesific 1 as there are different ones eg radios ????

If you clicked on the thread I linked in my last post, then go to "Downloads", then click "Firmware collection", go to "HTC_One_M8", than select the "401" folder, there is just one download for 4.16.401.10.
Here's the direct link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32781

The instruction in the thread (linked in Post #7 above) describe in detail how to flash the firmware.
You don't need to rename the file, as long as you type the exact file name when you issue the command: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(where "firmware.zip" is the actual file name). Example in this case would be: fastboot flash zip 4.16.401.10.zip
Some folks like to change the filename to actually be "firmware.zip" (no quotes) so that the command is easier to type.
But be aware if you do this on PC, be careful that you don't have the Windows option enabled to hide file extensions; which is normally enabled by default. You may rename the file "firmware.zip.zip" and not know it, as the screen will display "firmware.zip". This will result in errors, since the computer will try to flash a file name that is not really there.

redpoint73 you are a god, Thank you so much, i done it and all i need to do now is get 1 of the latest rom on here now thank you so so much

[Q] Android-info.txt

Is this file created by a development kit? I was just curious. Because if someone passes me an IMG file to flash, will it always be included in a zip file and have an associated android-info.txt file? If not, then I just wanted to know what application creates this file...and don't say a simple "text editor."
A very quick SEARCH for android-info lead me right to the thread on how to create hboot flash zips.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788&highlight=android-info
On a side note this thread should of probably went in general not development

Thanks, but you have misunderstood my question. You referred me to a post on how to create a splash screen image, and it already included an android-info.txt file. I want to know how to create one. And the type of "IMG" I am talking about is a partition image (e.g.: a recovery partition image), not a picture image.
Also, this is a development question.
Thanks everyone, my question has been answered in another thread.
In which thread was it answered? I have the same question.

The standard android-info.txt file to use for the Incredible contains the following lines of text:
modelid: PB3120000
cidnum: VZW__001
mainver: 3.17.605.0
hbootpreupdate:3
This link shows how to use it for setting up a splash screen .
I'm just wondering if the other thread was in the general help section?
Thank you!

Just copy and use a android-info.txt file from an ruu, or radio ment for your phone, in your splash screen file. All the file does is tell the phone that it is a file ment for that model of phone.

Thanks mate.
I don't understand step #5. What does it mean "copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer"?
1- Go into Recover (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, and that's it

That means to copy it in a folder from which you will perform step 6. To make your life easier, I usually copy it in the same folder where I keep fastboot and adb files.
In that case you should only type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Which nandroid you have?
4.1.1?
If so, then yes, repeat the procedure once again with your bakup to return to Jelly Bean.
One more thing, make sure that the nandroid you download is named with date and time (something like "2013-01-28.08.49.48"), otherwise you will face md5 issue. There is a solution for that, too, but I don't know if you would do it.

It looks alright. You have your cache, data, and system partitions in it.
And, I was right - you will get MD5 mismatch, for sure! So, you will have to follow the instruction that I indicated before.
If it doesn't work, or you are having problems, keep your current boot.img handy, and give it a try. You can always revert to your previous state.

Less possibility for error.
You can place both boot.img files to this folder, only name them in a way you can recognize them in future (boot_my.img and boot_old.img, for example).
I would also check if nandroid.md5 is the same as the one in parent folder. But, anyhow, you will have to adjust your md5, I'm sure of it.

Foreground
A Chaina re-branned phone
A fastboot mode
A useless recovery mode
A locked boot.img (thats why even chmod or simply pushing a su will not root the phone)
A IMEI number(which if you mess up after flashing,you will not get any radio signals)
1)First Unlock the Boot IMG
Before you proceed I will strongly recommend to download the tutorial guide ppt that you will find in Recent Activity list at the top of this post
You need to tamper permission after extracting the boot.img for this.No worry guys i have already done that for you .Just download the below file
Unsecured Boot Image
Now a bit critical part,read carefully .This unlocked image needed to be flashed to your device.For that you need research download and firmware pac file.
Download this to files from the below links
PAC versions & Tools Download
(pac file,driver,research download all included)
Download this drivers and install,after successfull installtion you will have(under device manager)
1.ABD interface
2.two COM ports
3.two emulators
If any of this having yellow sign it will not work.
Open research download
click on first button and load pac file
click on second button change baudrate to 115200,in calibration tab uncheck all.
For BOOT_IMG option browse and select the unlockedboot.img that you downloaded now.
plugin the usb cable(DON'T plugin the phone now)
click on play button
PRESS & HOLD VOLUME UP KEY and insert the usb cable,don't release the key.
Download should starts within 3 secs.If it doesn't then check the drivers carefully or reply to this thread with failures.
Once done unplug your phone and remove battery for 3 second
Reinsert battery and restart your phone.
YES!! you have successfully unlocked the boot.img
2)WiseMen Backup!!
First thing you should do before any tweaking and twisting save your back!!.Install CMW using the below method straight away and save your back.
1.Download .andriod.zip,extract it and save it under C:\Users\<computer name>\<paste it here>
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ga5tk2h89m41ddk/.android.zip
2.From your phone got to application-->developer option-->enable usb debugging
3.Now plugin your phone through micro usb cable.
4.Download this zip ,extract and place in under c:/<paste it here>
http://www.mediafire.com/download/s2as5grqceqtqq3/Android_Multi_tool.zip
5.Open a command prompt type
Code:
cd C:\Android Multi tool
C:\Android Multi tool>fastboot devices
20080823 fastboot
Note:you will NOT be able to proceed further if this doesnt shows up.Double check the andriod.zip has adb_usb.ini file.
Now we will flash a custom recovery image in fastboot mode.
Code:
C:\Android Multi tool>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 10.487s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 3.425s]
finished. total time: 13.918s
7.Reboot your phone.
8.Now got to CMW using Volume up + power button and do a backup.
3)Push superuser zip & ROOT!!!
This the easiest step among all of them.Download the below file,put it under sdcard and flash it through CMW.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/t55b6ebzvx9yf1f/update.zip
THAT'S IT you are rooted!!!
REMEMBER,PROBABILITY OF BRICKING IS MINIMUM AS I HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL THE TEST FOR YOU GUYS !!!.STILL IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG DONT PANIC,JUST FLASH A FIRMWARE AS MENTIONED ABOVE(point 1) EVENIF YOUR PHONE IS
TOTALLY DEAD .

You should not flash anything before you have unlocked the boot.img.It comes with a locked boot so flashing through fastboot may not work.
First thing that you should do now is stage up a windows xp with the drivers that i have linked here.connect your phone with research download and do a firmware flash.This will recovery your phone to its orginal state.Then follow my steps from the start(pls dont skip)

you should have micro sd card,and it should be in fat32 formatted.Better if you backup your data in sdcard,format it with fat32 and then place only the update.zip

Dont get me wrong but i think it is better to log your errors here as it might help others as well as me to correct the OP.
Once you have the setup use exact set of drivers and pac file that i linked in this thread.remember if you have a successful driver installation then you will have at least(under device manager)
2 new COM ports
2 emulators
I am working on capturing few snapshots or a demonstration guide,it will take time as i recently lost my bag-pack,will update with videos once i stage up.

check all files in main page,but for boot_img browse a select the unlocked boot.img that i have linked in this thread.The idea is to flash the unlocked boot.img instead of stock boot.img. Uncheck all in calibration page.Keep baudrate 115200
Also download the ppt that i just added.It may help you. Don't give up,setting the drivers will take trails & errors but i guarantee you the success

Great news buddy.If you have used my unlocked boot.img while flashing then rest of the steps will be a breeze to you.Install CWM and take a full back up.Then flash the update.zip,thats it.

Hallo after searching and reading I find a way to take system.img but not from JB RUU because they are encripted but you can take it from ICS RUU like normal unzip the rom,zip and vola you have working system,img but for ICS try and report.

Unable to sideload community build

I am trying to install the latest community build , I download a latest version of 3.5.3 from OnePlus's download section.
Currently I am on 3.2.7 , not rooted and boot loader is locked. All factory setting
these are the steps
check and make sure USB debugging is on
connect the device to PC
adb reboot recovery
device goes to recovery , select language and select install from adb on my phone
checking to make sure device is recognized and authorized
adb devices
50f4f77f sideload
************************************
adb sideload Update.zip
loading: 'Update.zip'
* cannot read 'Update.zip' *
I know I am in a correct folder as I already a did a <dir> and verified update.zip is in the current folder but lets try this
adb sideload C:\adb\Update.zip
loading: 'Update.zip'
* cannot read 'Update.zip' *
:crying:
at this point I am sure there is something wrong with the zip file. so I delete it and download the 3.2.6 just to test it out and I was able to downgrade to 3.2.6 with adb sildeload. once installation was complete I tried again to download 3.5.3 and sideload it but still getting a cannot read <filename> error.
any idea what I am missing here ?
By the way , I have tried several options such as :
1- changing the location of the file from adb folder to other location
2- renaming the file
3- launching cmd prompt as an administrator and navigating to the file location
Hello,
I have a strong feeling that you are trying to flash a wrong zip file. Can you mention the size of file that you mentioned as "update.zip"?

Then why are you giving command of update.zip? You should write the name of file in the command.
Replace "update.zip" in your command to the name of file as it is.

sure , here it is
I had this issue when I tried to download the first time. The zip is corrupted. I downloaded the file again and update your adb and fastboot version. I am sure it should work fine.
---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------
I also suspect the issue could be due to renaming the filename manually into update.zip and when the extension is hidden, it becomes update.zip.zip. please crosscheck to be double sure.
Reboot your computer after you download the file.
I know it sounds weird but I have to do it every time I download the community builds and I've no idea why...otherwise they give the same error. Don't rename the file either there's no need.

There could be renaming issue. Try re-downloading file and let me know if you have resolved the issue..
Renaming the file is only for the sake of convenience. Or else you may end up giving a wrong file name by typing error when giving the sideload command as the file names are usually too long.
In this case the file should have been corrupt (not fully downloaded).
Try opening the .zip file.
If it is corrupted, the CRC will fail and it won't open.
In which case you know you have a bad download.

Hi , I did try to reinstall the adb drivers , but I will give it a shot again. Also as far as renaming the file the file in the above screen shot is originally downloaded from OnePlus's website without renaming. >dir command shows the file extension to be correct ending with .zip not zip.zip ..
anyways I will reinstall the adb drivers again today

by the way may I get the link to "adb and fastboot version" which you are referring to ? just wanted to make sure I am on the right track
What version of adb are you using?
Your screen print shows 944,128 bytes whereas mine shows 1,479,680 bytes for adb.exe
eg output from the command "adb version"
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 8f855a3d9b35-android
Looks like you are on:
>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android
