Hello, im a NOOB! hahah
I just got my Samsung Focus today and well, i thought i would wait some time, but I wanna hack it already!
Following this nice tutorial, just in the 3rd part where it says:
Method 1:
Install Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW. The entry will automatically be added.
The setup is enourmously big but later you'll need it anyway! So I really advise you to choose this method!

Click to collapse
First of all, i entered the link to download the Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW and the file was 3MB, so wheres the enormous bigfile?
So I downloaded it and its just a .exe named vm_web. I open it and it open and closes very fast, a window that looked like it was extracting something. I checked if something was installed, or if the windows registry chagned, but no, nothing happened.
So, where can I get the real file, or why is this not working?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated!
pd: **** i just saw the Q&A forum for WP7 matters. but hell, i'm a noob right? hahahaha

Hi,
My name is Joe aka AndroidSamurai.. I will be releasing more guides and media content in the weeks to come.
I'm currently very busy with "life events(new baby)" and apologize for my absence.
I will be updating this post since it was my original with a new guide updated to new SDK and Android methods.
Thanks again,

What do i do if the new hardware device notification doesnt pop-up ? NM i got it. Thanks for the writeup
@King_tee: Assuming windows, you follow the following steps.
1. Start > Control Panel > System.
2. Hardware > Device Manager
3. Click on the last icon below the File menu. It should correspond to "Scan for Hardware Changes."
If that doesn't work, try unplugging / replugging USB cable, different USB cable, restarting phone, restarting computer, etc.
If you never see the notification, navigate to the Device Manager(inside "System" in the control panel in XP and inside Device Manager on Vista).
You will see ADB Android Device at the top of the list with a Yellow Icon beside it meaning the device is not working. Right-click on the device and select "Update Driver".
Follow the dialogs that pop-up and navigate to where the unzipped drivers are at...
You should be good to go from there...
ok, i need some help please... I downloaded the SDK and followed the instruction in this thread, but when i try to update my driver for the phone, it says the driver is not compatible with my phone.. I am using Haykuro's ROM 4.5 with FW 1.5.. would that be the reason for this issue?

you may need to uninstall the current driver for your phone if you have mounted it before downloading the SDK. if you don't have the SDK setup the first time you plug the phone in then your computer will auto-update the driver to a regular UMS driver and it won't help you when you try adb. i forget how to uninstall your current driver since i don't use windows, but i'm sure you can find a nice crash course online

I dont know if thats the problem because when i plug it in, it doesnt show up as a notification, and when i go to the device manager it shows the little yellow triangle.. I'll look again. Thanks for the quick reply though. I am no expert in linux, but i have it installed, let me see if i can figure it out there..

Downloading
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.1_r1/index.html
Installing
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.1_r1/installing.html
Found through Google...imagine that.
as well as what xyrcncp said can you you can download it and just mv ~/Desktop/sdk/tools/adb /usr/bin/adb abd you should be able to run the adb commands from any directory. not too hard to cd to the correct directory but i personally don't like to type cd ~/Phone/tools/android-sdk/tools every time cause i tend to make typographical errors. let me know how it worked but you shouldn't have any problems at all
umm no offense but your writing a tutorial for people that are not sure on how to do this, so you must assume that they do not know how to run an executable file...... write yourself a better tutorial without actually bashing the self esteem of some people... tutorials are positive not negative. I already know all of this but still... dont degrade someone due to the fact they dont know how, thats the whole point of writing your tutorial. Nothing should have been left out (including how to run a .exe .com or .bat
" (If you do not know how to install a windows executable file, please kill yourself now! ) "
this isnt honestly written with any hatred towards you, it was a good tutorial. Just might want to think about how you write it next time.
The "bashing" comments in my tutorial are directed towards the people with a true sense of humor. My tutorial was written to tell you how to simply complete a task and not to make you feel better about yourself. I do not get pleasure in abusing people's self esteem nor do I enjoy putting people down.
Just because you got a little sand in your crack does not mean you need to come in a very honest and informative thread and start bashing the people who are bending over backwards to help everyone out.
The reason I created this "tutorial" in the first place was because all the other threads are full of "start searching and stop asking so many damn questions" comments.
So start looking in the mirror when you wake up in the morning and stop saying "My, I think I will run over to good ole' XDA and be an @$$ to everyone today".
I am sincerely sorry that a little sense of humor has caused so much hatred in my thread. Please contact the forum moderators and see if the think my tutorial is so hateful.
lol i dont see any hatred but anyway when i download the adb driver when extracting it says unknown method
@ Nabzilla1990
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Are you using the built-in Zip tool or 7-zip from the links I provided?
Are you using a 32 or 64-bit OS?
using the same operating system as you 64bit vista ultimate sp1 and using winrar to extract
Try using 7-zip man, I have been using it for 3 yrs now.
Basically what I am saying is that everything in my guide is guaranteed to work.
Just to add, if you take adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory you can run adb from any dos directory prompt.
it worked with 7-zip thank you and also want to add if it doesnt work for some people plug in ur phone and update the usb mass storage with the usb driver from here and it should work i had that problem earlier
Okay, so I did everything and got up to run cmd, when I type in the cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools it says not a specififed folder, but when I type it without the \tools it doesnt work. can anyone help?
Hey guys this is my first time really working on an android and I am trying to get it to work with Metropcs.
Here is my question.
I have this Android SDK r06 and when I execute it, a window pops up. There are several things checked and unchecked. I basically just hit accept all and then run it...
Do I need to accept all? or can I just run what was initially checked off when I first opened it?
I dont want to install any un needed stuff since this part takes forever!!!
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
root The form would not let me post in the One click root fourm >10 posts
First of all I would like to thank you all for being so generous and here to help out. I have been reading the fourms on here for a long time just have not had the use to be a member untill now.
I am in the middle of the root process. I did the downgrade and whenever it comes up and tells me to enter
/data/local/tmp/rage
into the emulator on my phone, my phone says that it is not found..
what can I do to resolve this?? Thank you very much.
If this had already been answered please forgive me and point me to where I can find the answer. I have tried searching for it and have read alot on this prior to asking but have not found anything on this unless I have overlooked it.. Thanks
Just some insite.. I have downgraded twice.. to try to resolve this problem on my own
I just found this in the hack kit... BTW I am using the one click method
WINDOWS: 'cannot stat 'tools/root/rage': No such file or directory That means the file 'rage' does not exist in the tools/root path on your PC. It's in the kit, so either the kit is not unarchived properly or more likely, your Windows PC maleware detection software ate the files. This has been documented in a number of cases now. Switch off all malware detection, restart at install-downgrade, and make sure your cmd prompt is opened as Administrator.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! The fourth time was a charm!! I am now a newly rooted Inspire 4G owner.. I loved my Rooted Aria.. I know that I will love this one as well.
i've tried searching and can find no answers, i've been looking for an hour. so please, no flaming that there is an existing thread, i already tried.
i have installed ADB successfully before and used it. i'm doing it again because i have a fresh windows install, so i know how it works.
i'm trying to install the android 2.3.3 (API 10) package for android SDK manager, and most of the files downloaded with no problem. however, the opensense SDK for phones, droid4, droidrazr, mt870, mt917, xt882, and xt928 files are asking me for authentication to log in to dl.htcdev.com. i cannot download them without this.
i've tried using adb without the files it's asking me to log in for, no go. it won't recognize my device using ADB DEVICE from the command prompt. i am using an HTC sensation, i am in charge only mode, and i do have USB debugging enabled.
i've also looked high and low for another source to download the 2.3.3 android package and can't find it. any help is much appreciated.
anyone? was really hoping to get ICS installed this weekend, but i can't do anything until i can get superCID going.
nevermind, i got it figured out.

If you figured it out, please post your solution here. People who face the same problem in the future and find this thread (via Google), will benefit from your knowledge
Relevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/979/
seriously
really.....
A. OP has posted to say he "figured it out" without explaining...why post?? I don't care if you did or didn't....you just wasted someone's time reading this, just like my post now.... apologizing in advance for wasting next readers time
B. I actually ran into the same problem.....sdk, please sign in htc.dev??? time to search some more
Uncheck what ever it is from HTC that your trying to install or go to http://htcdev.com/ and create a login.
Hello Everyone,
I've written a small tool that allows you to sign a single file or a complete folder. See attachments. It is quick and dirty. If someone wants to improve it, there is the source attached also.
Please note that this tool will sign every exe and dll files in all sub folders if you select "Sign folder"!
Best of all: It also runs on Windows RT directly
Have fun!
[Removed]
Hmm it seems to have some issues with signing some binary exe files that had been previously compiled and worked on RT 8.0. I'm guessing this has to do with Release vs Debug ARM binaries?

Hello, I know it's been a long time since this tool was made but would it be possible to add some kind of handler of errors to the signTool? It's becoming harder to use since programs are having more and more files and we have to close a little error message for every file otherwise the process is paused.
Even though this is pretty old post, thank you so much for this tool!
It took hours of trying to get .exes to work. The signtool.exe also didn't really work for me.
FINNAL IT WORKS!
There is an issue with this tool prompting you after every single file. I fixed it and also added some other minor things such as .sys file support. here it is
H, can anyone help me, I'm total noob, what is this signing? how do I sign this? I'm trying to have some apps works on the RT
