Check this link. This is wait you have to install to get ADB (android debugging bridge) running on your computer. If this doesn't help try a Google search or Wikipedia.

First of all, I am sorry if this is a repost or if this in the wrong section; I'm not too sure which section this should really go in. I have searched the forums for this and I didn't find anything.
Anyway, I have the Samsung Captivate for ATT (unrooted) and I am trying to sideload apps via ADB. I ran the ADB setup and everything using a guide I found in these forums. In the command prompt I cd to sdk\tools and I type in adb devices and I get two lines that say "I8972197fab0 offline" I have the correct drivers for the Captivate installed on my computer. I have unmounted the internal SD card and have USB debugging enabled on my phone. I was just wondeing if anyone could help me out with this as I am new to Android. Thanks!
how do u root with z4root with out being able in install any 3rd party apps
!!
please help!!!!
Do alittle more research on the whole root process. 2.2 is a little weird but instructions are out there. I would not use any app to root Basically you need to find the right zip and install that with the button recovery.
Also don't expect an immediate response. Just because no one respond in 5 minutes does not mean they won't

I had to use a side loading app to get z4root installed on my phone and then rooted it from there.
Google "captivate side loading" and you should be able to find the app you need the name escapes me at the moment.

Sideload Wonder Machine from Android Central worked great for me.

Watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFHLVF1aA0Q
If you can get an app to load and work on your machine to side load the apps you are ready to go. If not, i.e. Vista 64bit is an issue for DroidExplorer, you can use simple adb commands.
Like the video says... assuming you have the SDK and drivers installed. This is also assuming a computer running windows, if you are running Linux well... if you are running Linux you should be able to translate
1. Open a command prompt
2. change directories to the platform-tools directory where ever you installed the 3. SDK. i.e. C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
4. Turn usb debuging On via the phone Settings->Applications->Development and check Usb debuging
5. connect your phone to the PC with the usb cable
6. type adb devices
If you then see something like this you are ok to continue, if not you need to figure out what is wrong with either your SDK install or your driver install

7. type adb install <location of your z4root.apk file> i.e. adb install c:\apks\z4root.apk
8. You will see adb copy the file and install to the phone. (If it fails start reading more in the dev section here. All the answers are there)
9. Disconnect your phone and open up z4Root on the phone and root it.
That should help. All of the steps above and A LOT more are in the dev section here, as posted above search and read and ye shall have all the fun you want.

Follow the rooting guide on youtube from mobiletechvideo(?), he has a bunch of videos, one is how to flash cognition based rom onto your phone (but the first step is rooting, so you could skip the rest if you didn't want to flash a rom).
Hope it helps

where can i download this ADB and i need a full guide about adb. step by step.
cause i have a problem in my vibrant, (fixing the partition "mbr error")
thanks to who are willing to help
You'd be wise to read up on the Android SDK before you attempt anything to do with ADB, or flashing Android stuff in general.
Read all you can, because it will kill your phone if you don't know what you're doing. You don't just 'download' ADB. It's part of a set of tools.
Sitting down and reading through the information on the SDK will give you the added bonus of being able to help others as well
Good luck.
can't find my devices
How should I do
If it can't find your device, download a program called usbdeview. Open the program (make sure you run as administrator). Delete all drivers associated with your device. Make sure you have USB debugging checked on your phone and then plug it back into your computer. This should automatically download the drivers necessary to run ADB.
Hey, all. I have never had issues like this that I couldn't figure out with help from the forums or just making sure I had the latest drivers installed. I am very comfortable with ADB and terminal and all of the commands therein. I am running Windows 7 32-bit and I am trying to follow the guide to unlock the bootloader and root. I have downloaded every iteration/version/mutation of the drivers that have been suggested but still I get no ADB devices recognized nor do I get any fastboot devices recognized?!?!!
EDIT:
Use the download links below and install both of these drivers AFTER uninstalling ANY/ALL previous drivers. Reboot and profit and stop pulling your hair out.

I'm really having a hard time getting ADB drivers to work on Windows 7 so that I can connect my Android phone to my computer to run some ADB commands. I've tried three different packages; I guess the latest ADB MSI installer and another couple various packages. And I can't get any devices to show up when I type ADB devices. I need something simple if somebody can help treat me like a newbie although I have some experience with Linux and the command prompt but I really need something dead simple that will just install ADB on my computer so I can run a command on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While plenty of people know adb better than I do, I can try to help you where we need to start at the beginning I think, which is to state that there is nothing to "install" on either Android or Windows, other than the one adb.exe executable on Windows.
However, you do need to enable a few options in Android settings.
With that, you can get Windows to talk to Android over adb as shown in my screenshots below, whether over USB or completely over Wi-Fi.
My first question to you to help you is to ask a basic question.
Q: Did you turn on USB debugging in Developer options?
A: ?
Yes I have us debugging on on my Android phone. I've installed USB drivers before on an older phone to allow me to use my Android phone for an internet connection on my PC and it was pretty simple and word flawlessly.
