Someone had posted a great adb tutorial. Just do a search for it.
You could also follow some of the set up steps in publicanimals rooting guide.

Not able to type anything?
I just type command in the search box, right click on it as it appears in the results, click run as administrator, navigate to the folder adb is in and go from there..

Or in windows 7 just open the Tools or Platform-tools (whichever you use) folder, press and hold the shift key, right-click in the folder and select 'Open command window here'

using adb

I feel like an idiot. I keep reading posts and instructions on how to use the adb/adb shell. Everything I read seems to indicate that the knowledge on how to open the adb command window is something that any idiot should be able to do... So much so, that no one explains how! I must be missing something!
I have installed eclipse and the sdk, the ADT plugin, etc. I run adb.exe and a command window flashes on my screen and immediately fades away. I can't even read what was posted in the window.
I know I am missing something but I guess I am just too inexperienced to know what that is. I can't find anything on the web that will tell me what file to open or sequence of files to open to access the adb command window.
Someone please help out a hopeless nuub!
Thanks
I am running Windows Vista 64 and have installed the 64bitUSB drivers. I can open an emulator, I can run the terminal on my G1, have installed the JK modified r30 on my phone.
add the whole path to your sdk/tools folder to your windows environment path: (right click my computer, click properties, select "advanced" select "environment variables" and look for "Path" in the bottom list, select "Path" and click "edit" then at the end of the existing path info, add a semicolon, and then paste in the complete path to your sdk/tools folder, click save, and close all the windows.
now, goto start, run, and type cmd.exe, a command line window will appear, type "adb" and it should work.

you can also use google to search the forum when you are looking for 3 letter terms (the forum search function is 4+ characters)

you don't use adb by pressing adb.exe in the tools folder you use it with command prompt go to programs and to accessories and look for command prompt now you can use adb like adb remount and pull push so on with your phone connected to the pc can you see your phone in ddms you open it from the sdk tools folder where the adb.exe is and if you can use adb.exe to open command prompt it don't work for me ether
I'm guessing that when I get all the ADB info after typing "adb" in the command window that it is working correctly?
If you run adb with no args, it will simply return a short summary of available args and terminate. In Windows if the window is opened by a program using the command line rather than directly calling cmd.exe, it will automatically close when the program terminates. The solution is to use cmd and then adb from within that.
Jashsu - Thanks! that was what I needed to know! LOL I am such a noob!!!
I had access to adb all the damn time! I just didn't know it! DUH!
I now have Koush's auto rotating browser installed! AWESOME.
Thanks to all who responded! I am learning pretty quick. But, some things are just so commonly known by dev's that they just aren't explained very well.
I found a couple of books I'm going to purchase so I don't have to keep bugging all of you. But, you guys are the greatest. Thanks for the help!

Cannot find run command line in ADB.

Hello iam using windows vista and xp and I had the same.problems on both. I downloaded the ADB program which gave me 5 seperate files. and downloaded thedrivers for my moto Atrix. But I was told not to run the adb.exe but to look for a run command line prompt. Where and how do I find this. And where do I go to run the commands?

Hey
press the start button (bottom left), on start menu you should see "run" with a small icon looks like a dialogue box (might be below search), press this. in the dialogue pop up type CMD.
Tho you will prob need to set up Environment Variables before you can use ADB.

Then you have to go to folder where "adb.exe" is...
For example if you have it in "c:\adb_folder" you have to type "cd adb_folder".......
Then your command line will be like this → C:\adb_folder>
Then, if you want to test if your device is connected properly you have to type "adb devices" and you will see your device listed....
If not, there is a problem.....

Before you can use adb command, you have to direct the terminal to the location of the folder where adb is located.
If the location of the file adb is at C:\\windows\androidsdktools\tools\adb
In your terminal type
cd \
Press enter, then type,
cd windows\androidsdktools\tools
Now the terminal should be in the folder where adb is located.
adb devices
A better way in my opinion to use adb is to set the path so it is usable from anywhere, simple easy and no need to always cd the path
directly quoted from dreamsforgotten's tutorial on theming for the epic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
"On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ directory to the path."

[GUIDE] Easy and simple adb and fastboot setup for newbies (Windows only)

Linux users please go HERE (thanks to bloodychaos)​Similar guides can be found on other devices subforums around but I can see that a lot of new users in our forum are not familiar with the setup and use of this commands.
All the instructions and installation files can be found on the Android Developers webpage, but for basic commands it is not necessary to download the whole SDK (which requires the JDK as well) to follow installation and the resources download process.
*Important: to use the adb/fastboot commands you have to enable USB Debugging in your phone Settings -> Applications -> Development menu*
To have working adb and fastboot system wide for basic commands just follow the steps below:
UPDATE: Not necessary for Windows 7 is installng adb drivers automatically after plugging the device and fastboot ones after rebooting the connected device to bootloader. To get the HTC USB Drivers on different Windows version download and install HTC Sync (If you do not need the Sync application itself you can uninstall it but the drivers will remain on your system).
*According to post #5 in this thread in some cases may be necessary to temporary disable your antivirus software during the installation of HTC Sync. Thanks @mimirom*
Download the zip archive or the attached file below
Extract the archive on your C: drive. You will have C:\android-tools folder
Adding to the System Path globally to use the command without browsing to the containing folder
Method 1 (via GUI):
Go to My Computer icon -> right click and select Properties.
On the left side of the opened screen select Advanced system settings.
(Or Start -> Search -> type sysdm.cpl -> Enter, browse to the Advanced tab)
Look down on the opened menu and select Environment Variables.
In the lower half are listed the System Variables.
Scroll to find "Path" variable, select it and click Edit...
On the Edit window in the Variable value field go to the end of the line (do not delete it!) and add without any intervals (spaces):
Code:
;C:\android-tools
do not forget the semicolon symbol (;)!
Click Ok 3 times.
Method 2 (via Command prompt):
Go to Start and in the Search box type cmd, right click and Run as Administrator
Type
Code:
setx path /m "%PATH%;C:\android-tools"
and hit Enter. Close the cmd window

To check is it working properly open Command Prompt (Start -> Search -> type cmd -> Enter) and type adb
If everything is configured properly this should list you the Android Debug Bridge version and the available commands.
*HINT*: To use adb or fastboot with files in the Command prompt you have to navigate to the folder containing the file first (using the cd command) e.g. "D:\Downloads\Android" and then to execute the command.
Example:
Start -> type cmd in the Search box, then Enter. You will see
C:\Users\with blinking cursor
If your file is on another drive like the example type "d:" (without the quotes), or other drive letter to go to the relevant drive. Skip this if the file is on C: drive. Then type:
cd D:\Downloads\Android to go to the "D:\Downloads\Android" folder. If your path contains spaces (intervals) type it in quotes.
The command "cd.." brings you one folder back
Good Idea!
Have put a link to this within the GUIDES section of [INDEX][22 SEP 11] ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT/HBOOT/RADIOS/TWEAKS/GUIDES/etc
I believe that the guide would be more useful if you put in a link to a URL for the HTC Drivers and moved the advice about enabling USB Debugging to the top!
I can now point people at this guide rather than manually instruct them, Thank's you probably just saved me loads of time and aggravation!
Nice Work, Great Help
Excellent! Exactly what I needed. Thanks for showing us this.
Hi an thank you. Good guide.
I believe one important information is missing in the guide:
Before installing the HTC drivers (or HTC sync) it is necessary to temporarily disable AntiVirus software on Windows machines. If you don't do that, Windows won't recognise your phone. After the installation is finished, enable AntiVirus again.
I got this advice somewhere and it was true for me personally. I'm using Windows 7.

One more comment:
This is a minor detail but I think it's worth mentioning.
If you are using the HTC Sync installation in order to get the HTC drivers only, you actually don't need to install and immediately uninstall HTC Sync itself.
The Sync installer will first install the Desired (pun fully intended ;-) drivers and the it will stop. Next it's going to ask you if you want to proceed with the installation of HTC Sync. At that point you hit cancel and you're done. No Sync, just the drivers.

Hey Guys, I need help!
after an installation of adb all I get is error:device not found
i entered a code adb shell and hit enter, than i entered
dmesg | grep mmc0, since you cannot put two lines of code at once (I'm a rookie)..
where did I put it wrong?
I can get to recovery of my device, but I get error like:
/I]E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I made revolutionary S-OFF..
Thanx for a help!
Rocks
You have to enable USB debugging in the settings.
And while in recovery it should work too

[TOOL] Android ADB and Fastboot MSI installer with PATH variable

Description
After always having to search for the latest versions of Android's ADB and Fastboot tools instead of downloading the whole Android SDK for just 1 mb in a few files, I decided to make my own MSI installer using the latest versions of ADB and Fastboot.
You can install it wherever you want and it will work from any path in the command prompt. The installer will append the installation folder location to the system PATH variable, allowing you to run ADB or Fastboot without you having to change the command prompt path to where they are installed.
This installer is 32-bit and 64-bit compatible.
Usage
The default installation path is C:\ADB so you can easily add your flashable files in there.
After installing Android ADB Fastboot you can open a command prompt and type adb or fastboot commands right away, you don't need to change paths. Keep in mind that you need admin privileges, though.
To open a command prompt with administrator rights on Windows 8, just right click on the bottom left corner of the screen or use the Win+X shortcut and then click on Command Prompt (Admin).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have Windows 7 or Vista, the quickest way to do it is to type CMD on the Start Menu search box and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just pressing Enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requisites
You need to have ADB Debugging under Developer Options on your device. You also need the drivers for every device you want to use with ADB installed and working.
You can type adb devices on a command prompt. If your device is listed, the drivers are working and good to go for ADB and Fastboot use.

Download
I will always check the ADB version whenever a new Android SDK is released and I will update my installer when needed.
The download link and screenshots are on my website.
http://rubenalamina.mx/custom-installers/android-adb-fastboot/
Latest version of the installer: 1.5 (ADB 1.0.36) updated on 2016.09.21
Thanks mate, it really help people with lacks internet connection like mine
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Installer updated to version 1.2 with the new ADB and Fastboot included in Android SDK 23.0.2.
Installer updated to version 1.3 based on the Android SDK 24.0.2.
no matter what i do it stills says ABD is not reconizedf as an internal or external command. i even downloaded the whole stinking dev kit to make sure nothing missing in these little installers. made sure that a path was put still dose NOT work :/. and yes im running cmd prompt as adminastrator.

Have you tried running it from the C:\ADB path just in case? Maybe try PowerShell instead of the command prompt. I don't really know what else you can try if even the SDK is not working for you.

Try using PowerShell. Also, see if you are able to run the ADB that comes with the SDK but run it from the folder where it is located.

My phone recently got completly stuck on the google screen, and the only thing i can do is get into bootloader, and then go into recovery to get into CWM. I have the Cyanogenmod 11 ROM on my computer. I open cmd, and i do the "adb push" command, with the file name of the ROM, but it never works. Solutions?

If your using Windows XP that won't work to open command prompt. You can either go to the folder where the ROM and adb are and highlight and copy the directory path from the address bar and paste it into command prompt and put cd' in front of the directory path or
In command prompt type:
cd' user/documents/adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321/sdk/platform tools

It means that the directory you're entering doesn't exist.. You're goofing up while typing in the command prompt! What I don't understand is, how were you able to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery if you aren't able to execute simple adb commands? Unlocking the bootloader uses fastboot but the navigation to the directory is the same.
My suggestion would be to delete the android sdk from that path and install it in an easy path like : "E:/sdk/platform-tools"... So that it would be easier for you...
Well, if you still can't set it up properly, then use an OTG cable to flash the rom via a flash drive...
@vin4yak Go through this thread to know where he went wrong.
