I'm following this guide - http://androidcodemonkey.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-setup-android-development_23.html
cuz i wanted to cuztomize/push apps to my Desire.
I'm using windows 7 Ultimate x64, install the jdk as stated. but the eclipse and Android SDK version is kinda outdated.
I tried opening eclipse, then it says something about the java not in path bla bla bla~~ i tried setting the path but no go.
Anyone can guide me to an easy/noob proof on how to install the Android SDK for Android 2.2?
Thanks!

you open a command prompt, navigate to the tools folder in the android sdk and run whatever adb command you want as long as you have htc sync installed your computer already has all the nessesary drivers... The android sdk is ment for software development, hence sdk (software development kit) the quickstart is ment for people who intend to use it for development, we only need a small part of the sdk known as adb
i got this error, see attachment.

why you trying to install widgetlocker using adb? is it warez? if it is no one here is going to help you.....
its not warez. i bought it. i have the order receipt. but i wanted to customize the iphone lock bar. i have someone made it for me, then he gave me back the apk. and now i have trouble installing it. He said he didnt sign it so i need to use adb push. I tried but got something about parse error or something like that.

no probs man glad you got it working atleast you got adb up and running on your pc too now
Looks like the boot.img on the WiFi only model is slightly different. Flashed the rooted boot.img file and now I'm stuck at the Dual Core technology screen. Anyone have this available. All help greatly appreciated!
UPDATE
See thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12432218
Can someone post the stock xoom wifi dump of the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and userdata.img in case something happens?
Apparently it looks like its slightly different than the wifi+3g version. Also is the overclocked kernel file working posted by coolbho3000?
i need the answer too... i m comfused.
Alright I have a stock Xoom tablet now Just gotta figure out how to pull the boot.img file off. Any ideas and I'll do it ASAP.
No clue mate. From my knowledge you have to be rooted, or have the SDK on your pc. I think. Neither which are available as of now
So is the wifi only version able to be rooted as of now?
currently, yes. We need a new root method. Well I would not say a new "method" but their need to be some modifications done to the original rootboot img file. Shouldnt be hard for devs

Think for the Xoom it would be from a windows command prompt:
adb shell cat /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot > c:\boot.img
I could be wrong but try it and see.

It's actually a Permission issue.
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot: Permission denied
So someone with root needs to run it. Anyone wanna help out? Im not getting mine till tomorrow but by then I suppose you would have yours exchanged

That's actually the catch-22... can't get root because we don't have the right boot.img file. I think it's going to boil down to Motorola releasing a stock one.
If anyone is up for IRC chat - hop onto Freenode and room #Xoom
I can try if someone tells me what needs to be done. I tried copying it over to another folder in root explorer but no luck.
Update: Ran through the fastboot oem unlock in hopes that it would resolve the Permission Denied. It did not.

You'll end up with a (soft)brick
No luck
I also booted into fast boot, tried and still got no permission sometimes and no such directory some times... If some one will walk me through getting the img file I will gladly do so
how can I remove the softbrick, I saw this AFTER I tried to root and now I cannot even turn it off, just sitting on the Motorola Dual Core Technology screen.
ok I also now need to the stock boot.img from a wifi xoom. Can anyone help? I can flash it if someone can provide it please, if not I guess I will go exchange my xoom in the morning.
How to "root" your Optimus G Pro AT&T ONLY
This does work great. It will allow root.
1. (Optional if you have another means of un-RARing) Download and install 7-zip from here. You need this to open certain types of archives (specifically .rar, but you might also want to open .tar, .bz2, or other types of archives in the future). This program is supremely awesome in its ability to open almost any archive you throw at it. It's also unobtrusive and efficient.
2. Download and install LG USB Drivers from here. Without these drivers, your computer won't be able to effectively communicate with your phone. This is vital for the steps we will be taking.
3. Enable USB debugging by going to Settings->(General)->Developer options" and checking the box next to "USB debugging." You will get warnings. You can probably ignore them. This setting will allow you to run commands on your phone from your computer (via USB). For more info on the Android Debug Bridge, click here.
4. Download and extract (using 7-zip (or whatever)) the root exploit from here.
5. Connect your phone to the computer with your USB cable.
6. Put the phone into "Charge Only" mode at Settings->General->PC connection->USB connection type
7. Open CurrentRoot.bat and follow its prompts. You will need to change from "Charge Only" to "Media sync (MTP)" mode. The setting is in the same place.
8. Run SuperSU (now in your apps drawer) it and make sure it works. This program allows others to gain access to superuser privileges. For more info on rooting and what kind of stuff it lets you do, click here and/or use Google.

Being more familiar with Samsung rooting, HTC and Motorola devices. When its time to return the OG Pro to stock and unroot what is the proper method, I think this is also important to have outlined.

Yup, worked fine on my laptop - Win8 64 bit.
I followed the instructions and even ran the currentRoot file as administrator after unrar the whole "ZV9-ZVB-Root folder" to the desktop.
After it says root successful, I still couldn't find the superuser in my apps as described. I have downloaded SU from play store and I still have no root access.
Please see the attached pictures of my root process and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Whatever I do, attached pictures are coming upside down. Sorry!
returning to stock from root?
At this point in development, if I root my phone and do softbrick or bootloop it how can I return to stock setup? With the bootloader locked is this not possible at this state. I would like to go ahead and root , but I feel as though there is no safety net. What are the alternatives....
Thanks.....

Make sure the screen of your phone is on and unlocked type 'adb devices' and then a pop up on your phone should come up asking if you would like to authorize the device. If it doesn't pop up type 'adb kill server', then again type adb devices and it will pop up. Make sure you give the computer the permissions it is asking for and you can even check mark the little box that says to remember the computer you are connecting to. Once you do that type adb devices once more and it will say authorized instead of unauthorized. Hope this helps
I ended up doing a factory reset and then I was able to authorize one of the computers. Am now rooted, have twrp, and happy.. Thank you for the help..

Hello,
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not extremely comfortable yet with rooting, and as such, would love if someone could point me in the right direction to a proper tutorial on how to root my Pixel XL. I purchased it from Google directly, which has an unlocked bootloader. It is the N2G47E Build Number, and I OTA updated it to 7.1.2. I have a Windows PC on Windows 10 64 Professional, original cables, etc.
Thanks so much for any help, and I'm hoping this is possible.

I would like to block ads everywhere. That's a big one. I have used adaway in the past and liked it. I also like to learn the process. I've been jailbreaking iphones/ipods/ipads for years and am interested in learning more about rooting as it interests me. I also want to have more control over functions of the phone, and there have been a few apps and such that I liked in the past that I felt enhanced my phone (it was a galaxy s6).
my snapchat is still working now in 7.1.2 with root..didnt in 7.1.1

Brother? Yikes, I hope not. The question of why root was not directed at you so I'm not sure why you answered. The OP had already answered it. I don't care what you have done in the slightest. Your assumption of your maturity level due to your age leaves much to be desired as well.
There are many reasons not to root, I'll say it again. So if you don't know the reasons you might not know as much as you think you do. Don't make me lay it out for you. If you take a few minutes you will find a lot of others that used to root but find no need to any longer. The iPhone discussion has nothing to do with this neither does your denigration of a very capable phone. Where that came from we can only imagine. Oh yeah, age.

"path/to/" is where the files are located!
I create a folder at the root of c called "adb". go inside that folder and shift right click. that will give the option to open command prompt from that folder. then your adb commands are already in the correct folder so it would be adb fastboot twrp.img (if you renamed the img to twrp)
