What is > adb < made easy

[drum4pen81]

Im on windows vista. Ive only had it for about a month now though. So im not sure. I may just try to work get adb to work on my desktop. I really only want to get adb running right now so i can get around the start up registration screen so I can root my g1, but it sounds like its a fairly useful thing to use once rooted

you could try right clicking android_usb.inf and select "install". not sure if that will help. reboot and see what happens. the inf file is in the usb drivers folder of the sdk,which i assume you have.

Yea, I found the file your talking about it, but when I right clikc it, it doesnt give me an option to install it. It just has open, cut, copy, delete, and preference.

must be a vista thing. because in xp, you can right click any .inf file and select install.

Yea, I'm pretty sure vistas my problem. It wouldnt let me format my sd card either to FAT32. I'm just going to go try and get adb running on my xp

Hey Guys, I am totaly new to android, but yet fascinated...I recently downloaded all the files needed for adb, got it working, but I've found that I'm not sure how to use commands...For most, this question may seem very simplistic, but for me, it's not so simple...lol Here is my dilema

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*.odex
adb pull /system/bin/user.conf c:\user.conf
Used Notepad++ to edit and
adb push c:\user.conf /system/bin/user.conf
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/user.conf
adb shell reboot

##Optional##
after you get everything setup the way you want it do a backup... I found switchrom.sh to be more dependable than purely nandroid backup.

reboot in recovery
adb shell
/#mount /system/sd
/#sh /system/sd/switchrom.sh -s <name>

To restore it...
reboot in recovery
adb shell
/#mount /system/sd/
/#sh /system/sd/switchrom.sh -r
##select the rom you want to restore##
This is for ZeroXd 6.10 ROM
What is Notepad and how do I use it, is it in adb ?

Thanx in advance for all of those who took time to help a real N00B

Hi guys,
Excellent guide

I just wanted to know if you can use the pull files function of adb if your phone isn't rooted?
Or does adb not work at all if your phone isn't rooted?
Thanks

If you are not a programmer and need ADB Tool just to connect to your phone and run some ADB commands and Linux shell commands then here are simple steps for you.

There is no need to install entire SDK on the Windows PC.

The steps are as follows:

1.

Download zip file SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip from either

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

or

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7S2CI6OY

or

http://www.mediafire.com/?j3ybp0gy7n6yy54


Or download kuroyoma's - One Click Root And Unroot For Froyo Intercept For Windows (Updated) zip file from:

http://www.4shared.com/file/8Al5VHjv...oRoot_v02.html

Or

Download livehifi's ADB Windows exe file and APIs (DLL files) at:

http://www.mediafire.com/?tsd2u33t9ggc11p


2.

Creat a folder - InterceptADB under C:\ on your Windows PC.

Unzip/Extract contents of the downloaded zip file to C:\InterceptADB (Files may go under C:\InterceptADB or a subfolder under it)

Keep only the following files and delete rest of the files (Either from C:\InterceptADB or any other subfolder under it) .

adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll

This is it. You have ADB installed now on your Windows PC.

Move these files from subfolder under C:\InterceptADB to C:\InterceptADB. Remove the sub folder. This is just to have one less subfolder.
