Hello everyone im a noob here but im slowley learning. i have searched and searched including the ABD for dummies they all make mention of ABD for mac but then move right along into windows how tos. im sorry if this is the wrong place for this post but can anyone point me to a place that actually explains ABD usage for mac i know nothing about terminal and i think thats what it want me to use. i really mean it ive been looking for a good mac tuterial for days!!!!!! thanks
You mean adb, right?
The commands for adb are pretty much the same ones used on windows
Not development...post in general.
Anyways,
do you have the sdk set up as per these instructions? You dont need to worry about the eclipse stuff. The most important thing is getting the sdk downloaded, extracted and the /tools dir added to your path. From there, the command are exactly the same. eg:
Code:
adb push
adb pull
adb shell
adb shell reboot recovery
...

to use ADB and FASTBOOT you need to mount your SDK foldert (you "need" tools folder) and then use all commands starting with ./
for example ./fastboot reboot
PS if you want to use fastboot, you have to download it separate from HTC site.

You dont have to mount the folder. It may be easier but in the long run adding it to path will teach you more. Just do a google search on edit path osx and you will find how to create or edit the bash_profile to add the tols folder to your path. from there you just open terminal and adb away

There is no need in this. Everyone can find all information on GOOGLE. It is easer then "Easy Button"
MAC+ANDROID=FRIENDS FOREVER!
Setting up ABD for OSX, Hackintosh, mac newbies like myself.
First make sure you have downloaded the latest SDK from google.
In finder go to your home folder and extract the sdk into a folder named Android.
If you only plan on using ADB you can just extract the tools folder contents there.
Now open up Terminal...Applications/system utilities
Type in the following
echo $shell
ls -a
If you see a file named .bash_profile in the list you are ok if not we have a few things to do.
To create a .bash_profile, in terminal do the following
touch .bash_profile
This will create a blank file if there is none. Then,
open -e .bash_profile
This will open it in TextEdit. Add the following line:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type
carefully, remove < > brackets).
For example, if the android folder is in the eclipse folder on your Desktop,
it would be:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/David/Desktop/eclipse/
android-sdk-mac_x86-1.0_r1/tools
Save and quit.
then all you have to do from there is adb away.
If you need more info please follow this link where I copied the info from.

If my words offended you, i apologize for that. I thought it was just unfair, when i was searching for INFO, i was sent to google and thats why i did the same thing.
Let's respect each other.

I rooted my hero on 2.1 before on a different computer a while back so im fairly familiar with this process. But i when i type in the file path for the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and hit enter then type adb devices i get an error message that says
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I tried all the troubleshooting i can think of like
making sure its the right path to the tools final
making sure debugging is on
deleting the drivers
reinstalling htc sync
I dont know is this info is relevant but ill share it any way.
Im running windows xp
its an old work pc so idk if i have Admin rights(How do i check??)
If any of you can help thatd be much appreciated
Did u add tools directory to the PATH?

Hey bird, I had the same problem a few days ago. solution for me was, that adb is not located in the tools folder anymore. its located in another folder.I'm not in front of my pc right now.just check where in the windows sdk folder the adb.exe is located now.
Hope that helps you too.

if its the updated sdk you will have to update it. close and restart,and then reopen your run command and type in \platform\tools\. they changed the file path when they updated the new tools.

I'm too tired to read the whole thread right now, so someone has probably answered this, but here goes..
Previous versions of the Android SDK, adb was located in the tools folder, ie: if you installed the android SDK at C:\android-sdk-win, it would be c:\android-sdk-win\tools
The new release of the android sdk, adb has been moved, and is now located in the \platform-tools folder , ie; c:\android-sdk-win\platform-tools
much like the forums, file search is your friend sometimes
take care
Hello everyone,

WE need more information. Where does it fail? Error message? Does your tab show up in device manager?
sorry mate i didnt know what would be helpful and what wouldnt, but it shows up in my device manager but i dont think ive set up adb and fastboot up properly, when i type C:\Users\Rob>fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot in the cmd window it says fast boot is not recognized as an internal or external command,
what files do i need need to have and where should they go,
ive got a folder called adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219 with the sdk stuff in it but im not sure what to do with it lol
Quick, easy way is to use the cd command to move to the directory where fast boot is saved. Then use the command you tried first.
ahh yeah i think i remember doing that before what folder am i looking for?
edit: i got it going now i found the folder i need so im all good now thanks guys
You'll need to look through the sdk files until you find the fastboot file. That's the folder you need. I don't have my laptop with me so I can't give you the specific folder name.
it was called platform tools i just found it and i moved it to the root of c drive and renamed it android and all is great now

are you trying to root a nikon coolpix S800c? if so those commands are for linux (just get Ubuntu) and you need to be running a linux OS, windows was not built for these sorta things just a little of ADB but thats about it.
