sdk 1.5 on a magic android 1.5

Hi,
i am trying to upgrade cupcake to donut (google navigation doesn't work on 1.5). The adb doesn't find my handset. I downloaded and installed this sdk. Since i have cupcake, should I use sdk 1.5?
Thanks for any help!
Frank

Do you have installed the adb usb drivers? It´s needed to work´s in adb.

connecting my handset to the computer brings up the new hardware wizzard. I locate the C:\androidsdk folder. After a while a message pops up that ADB cannot be installed.

The correct folder is: C:\your-current-sdk-dir\usb_driver\x86

so the usb_driver\x86 folder should come along with the sdk package (android-sdk_r3-windows.zip), but it's not.

Doesnt work, the 1.6_r1 link redirects you to this one: android-sdk_r3-windows.zip

Google App Inventor: How do I specify the location of my ADB drivers?

It can't find my phone when I go to connect to it (probably because I installed it on the F:/ drive, and my ADB drivers are on the C:/ drive. How do I specifically tell it where to look? I thought I remembered seeing this in the tutorials, but I can't find it now.
Edit: Whoops, forgot that there's WinMo development here too. Feel free to move this to Android General.

Ummm... Your ADB drivers don't matter where they are. The phone is plugged in in adb mode, you install the drivers, and they are copied to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers iirc.
Have you installed the latest correct ones for your device?

Yes, and I do stuff with ADB all of the time. I think it can't find the location of adb.exe (at least I think that's what one of the guides mentioned somewhere). My phone is connected and USB Debugging is enabled, and it is detected when I execute "adb devices."

Is adb folder in your path environmental variable?

Huh? I've got my SDK installed in the default location on the C:\, but my App Inventor stuff is on the F:\ drive with all of its default settings, so I'm not sure if it is looking for F:\android-sdk-windows or not.

OK. I see what you mean, and that's not the issue.
See http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...de-Setting-up-ADB-and-how-to-use-it.-(Windows) and follow step 2 to add the adb folder to your path.
To check it works, you should be able to go to command prompt and run "F:", and then type "adb devices" and see your phone.
IE. this lets you use adb from any folder. AFAIK this will let AppInventor work.

ADB Offline and no access to bootloader

A few days ago I've tried using ADB but it said my device is offline. Earlier I tried ADB over network. Again, it said my phone is offline. So I wanted to see if I can get ADB access from the bootloader. Surprize: I can't get into the bootloader. If I turn my phone off and press Volume Down + Power, it just boots.
Now, my phone is working good, I just wanted adb access to do that darn EFS backup. And what's up with that "can't get into bootloader" stuff? I did it fine and dandy when I rooted my phone..
EDIT: well, since I can not do the backup the normal way, I just downloaded the efs folder as a zip. and dev/block/. Is it as effective as the normal way?

It is Vol-Up + Power for bootloader. And you can't have adb access in bootloader mode. Only fastboot access.

Ok but why isn't adb working? Why does it always say it's offline?

It could be that you installed some software/driver that overrides a working USB driver.
Try install Google USB driver from Android SDK Tools.
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Also, make sure you turn on Developer options and "check" Andoid (USB) debugging option in Developer options setup.

Do you have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB interface showing in your device manager?
Try uninstall and reload again.

Almost = https://dl.dropbox.com/1/view/xiulpm329s4wxcd/Apps/CloudShot/shot_25022013_192328.png
Still it says offline.
(thank you for trying to help me )

In fastboot mode it looks like this:

just tested at work and it says "device" instead of "offline" which is good I think. The only difference is that at work I installed the SDK long after I got it at home and it has a slightly different folder structure and it also comes with eclipse.

Resolved. Downloaded the new SDK with ADT from the android site and it works. Please forgive me for posting so many times. Can someone please delete this thread?

Good for you.
Anyway, if you followed post #4 and installed the new SDK Tools, would have saved you a lot of time.

You need to get newer adb files. Since android 4.1 you need newer ADB files. Just download the sdk and extract the updated files. Also possible (if you have the SDK) is to open the SDK manager and download updated platform-tools.

ok lets take things from the beginning again
check usb debugging mode
htc drivers
install/uninstall htc sync in any case
use usb 2.0 ports not 3.0
use also different usb ports
also try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.adbtoggle&hl=el

ruu.exe returns the device into completely stock situation as you bought it
but don't worry if you are on S-OFF you won't lose it
then see if you have better results with adb usb

Delete Please!!!

Mod please delete!

Hey guys I followed the correct instructions and downloaded the correct files (cf auto root and Google drivers) but my PC can't find/detect my device and because of that when I run the windows command it stays on "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Is there something I did wrong? Do I need to download something else? Any help would be much appreciated

I take it you have created a path in windows /android-sdk/platform-tools ?
Have you disabled usb driver signature authentication if you`re on Win8/8.1?
You could try removing the device in device manager and also uninstalll all drivers, then dis- and reconnect to the pc and install the google usb drivers from the sdk manualy.

ADB debugging enabled?
