ADB For win7 for Install ?s

So I have been looking around and Im seeing that you will need the ADB set up and I saw this http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ and saw this for user that are on windows 7 http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
Wondering if anyone did this yet for there phone and that they have win7? was there any issues or anything?

Hmm.. I already had SDK9 installed. I installed HTC Sync, connected my phone, Win7 Pro x86 installed the drivers properly, it was now showing as an "Android Device" in Device Manager, and I was able to verify I had ADB access. I didn't have to do anything special

Possible to root without a PC?

Hello XDA!,
How would I go about rooting my Infuse without a computer? I have no access to a PC or a Mac. Anyone who can develop could possibly make a z4root like app with a root.sh that works for the infuse? Someone please respond.

From my limited experience:
If you want to root GB 2.3.6, you need to get it into download mode and bypass Samsung Secured factory recovery and flash an insecure kernel.
Mobile Odin is not available for this device.

HTC Inspire ROOT

So I'm running Advanced Ace Hack Kit and it asks me for my password. I assume the computer password, but I don't know what it is. Is there a way around this? Is there another way to root the Inspire?

Do you mean the passkey? If so, it's eixplained in the "effin' manual" that comes with AAHK. Make sure you read the entire thing carefully.

I use Linux, so I'm not 100% certain about Macs (though it should be similar). But at least in Linux, it asks for your password because the script uses sudo. It's asking for password of the user currently logged in, so as to give the program administrative rights.

There is another method, the HTCDEV method, which is detailed in the PDF in post #7 in the "need help?" link in my signature (admittedly, a little roundabout). However, be warned that AAHK is above and beyond my recommended option. HTCDEV unlock can be detected, making rooting detectable even after you go back to stock (for warranty purposes). AAHK is completely reversible. It also makes the entire flashing process easier and gives you more ROM choice. For more detail, take a look at that link.
If you have absolutely no way to get your password, I would recommend that you try an Ubuntu LiveCD instead of using your Mac. It will let you run AAHK with sudo.

great man thanks. Don't care much about warranty, its from EBay anyways. Why does AAHK allow for more ROM choice? Just curious.

In short, HTCDEV only lets you flash ACE (Desire HD and Inspire 4G) ROMs, but not ROMs ported from other devices. Also, it adds an additional step to flashing any new ROM (you need to run a fastboot command from your computer with your phone connected). AAHK gives you S-OFF, giving you more complete control over your phone and letting you flash any ROM (including ported ones) without that extra step.

Alright got root and JellyTime on my phone. I bought this phone from EBay and havent activated it with AT&T yet. Will having root and a custom ROM prevent me from having it activated?

There is no way to do it without the risk of getting stuck. If you get stuck, you will be in troubles to get back to a working state. Fix the volume rocker first and then do the Hacking...

[Q] Can I flash a recovery from Terminal Emulator?

For some reason I can't get my PC to recognize my device in fastboot. I remember flashing a recovery from the terminal emulator once but I don't remember how I did it.

If you are running Win 8 or 8.1 it won't, use a Win 7 PC. The command was "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" what did you flash TWRP or CWM?

@philohtc
He isn't talking about fastboot. He's taking about flashing it from terminal emulator directly from the phone.
@nickfury27
I'm not sure if you can but you can use a couple of apps to flash recovery. They're called Recovery Tools, and Flash Image GUI.

Short answer is YES.
However, if you don't know what you are doing, you can render your phone useless. You would have to manually mount the recovery block, dd, and set permissions manually. If you screw it up, you'll have an expensive paper weight.
My advice, take timmaaa's advice.

It probably is best to post the results here, that way all users can benefit from it. I try not to assist via PM as the solution isn't able to be seen by other members who might have the same question. Just make sure you put a disclaimer on it.

Trouble updating to 4.4.3

Hi Guy, and thanks for a lovely forum.
I'm currently running 4.4.2 on my Nexus 5 rooted and with Exposed Installer and GravityBox[KK] (which has a modify kernel for the Exposed installer). I want to install the new OTA-update (4.4.3) but the installation always get aborted (unexpected counting) or something. Dose The EI and GB[KK] interfere with the update process or by the modify kernel or both?
Do I need to uninstall EI and GB[KK], unroot the Nexus 5? In that case, how? Or do a factory reset or di I need to install totally back to stock 4.4.3?
I'm running a Mac (the only computer i own, and I have on internet connection at home so I use my Nexus 5's 3G and use hotspot to the Mac so it's not possible to install ROM's/update via my Mac cause then I will not have an internet connection during the installation process).
Is it possible to return back to stock on my Mac? In case how?
Dose anyone know how to fix this problem or are able to help me solve this problem? All answers are appreciated. I really need to get the 4.4.3 update. It dose not matter if I need to do a full "wipe"/factory reset, I have everything backup.

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That should set up adb/fastboot that'll you'll need. Then extract the file and just double click on the flash-all.sh
