Will do my best to update this with everybody's experience and knowledge to help out the new comers. Welcome to the world of Android!!
Definition of ADB - http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
1. Install Drivers
Win 7 drivers - http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yd61xorii - thanks shep211.
Win 7 64bit, Vista and XP - Confirmed works with HTC Sync - thanks to crackerstyle OR use HTC Sync.exe from the stock MicroSD card shipped with the phone. Myn also used these drivers - http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC EVO (Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe
Mac OS X drivers -
Linux drivers -
2. Install ADB (part of Android SDK)
Google's Main page - on the Android SDK which contains the adb binary inside the tools folder - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Windows Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
Linux Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-linux_86.tgz
Mac Specific Android SDK installer (contains ADB binary inside tools folder) - http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk_r06-mac_86.zip
3. Enabling ADB support on EVO
If using completely stock EVO, adb will be disabled in recovery and can't be enabled.
If using the PC36IMG.zip (userdebug RUU) automatically turns on adb in recovery mode.
If in normal android mode, adb can be enabled by Settings->Applications->USB Debugging.
4. Running (Executing) ADB on Host computer
Windows - start->run->cmd . Navigate to the extracted the Android SDK folder and into the subfolder called tools.
cd c:\android-sdk\tools\
Now simply execute the commands in Step 5 and 6.
5. Learn basic ADB commands
adb push - sends a file to the phone over ADB thru USB - adb push c:\test.apk /sdcard/test.apk
adb pull - receives a file from the phone over ADB thru USB - adb pull /system/app/Test.apk c:\Test.apk
adb shell - starts a shell connection with the phone
adb reboot - restarts the phone
adb reboot recovery - restarts the phone into recovery
adb reboot bootloader - restarts the phone into the bootloader (white screen)
adb remount - remounts the file system
adb install <path to .apk file> - installs an application - adb install c:\swype.apk
adb uninstall <package name> - uninstalls an application - package name is usually in the format, com.android.browser
6. Learn basic Linux commands to run through ADB shell
cd - changes directories - works through stock android toolbox - cd /system/app
ls - lists all files in the directory - works through stock android toolbox - ls /system/app/
cat - copies files - works through stock android toolbox - cat /system/app/Test.apk > /sdcard/Test.apk
rm - removes files - works through stock android toolbox - rm /system/app/Test.apk
mv - moves files from one location to another - works through stock android toolbox - mv /system/app/Test.apk /sdcard/Test.apk
cp - copies files - functions similar to cat - uses busybox installed by the EVO-recovery.zip into recovery mode - cp /system/app/Test.apk /sdcard/Test.apk
mount - loads the file system (usually auto loaded except sometimes in recovery) - mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
unmount - unloads the file system - umount /system

Thanks a ton joeykrim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really helpful!!!!!!!
Yeah, super handy. I know enough linux to make my way around moving files and what not... but this saved me a few googles for download links and figuring out what adb was.
Danke danke.

download file is blocked for me and i dont have win7 or the evo yet, so you'll have to help and hopefully others will chime in.
i would assume once you plug the phone in, it will prompt/ask for drivers, simply navigate to the folders from the download file.

Also might want to add adb pull and install and devices. Also remember if it says it cannot find your device make sure usb debugging is set in Settings->Applications and type in adb kill-server and adb remount.

thanks guys!
I just installed ADB USB driver, and I had to use the tip found below because the driver downloaded by the SDK setup didn't support the HTC EVO natively.
**couldn't post url so google "FYI EVO/Incredible ADB How-To - Android Developers | Google Groups" and open the first link **

anyone using a REAL version of windows (Win7 64bit) will need these drivers... pulled from the SDK autodownloader... was a ***** to find... prob need to disable sign enforcement... mine is. when asked which of the 3 to select press the first Android ADB Interface.
yea your welcome...
That file doesn't work for me :-(
It just says that it can't install the drivers when I try to update/reinstall driver for the device "ADB" in device manager. I have tried the drivers from the SDK, the set in the post from the OP and the one a couple posts above me. What gives?
Description
Hello everyone
If you usually download APKs from internet, you would normally have to transfer the files to the smartphone and then install them one by one. As it did not seem practical and since I usually try a lot of programs, I have created this script.
InstAPK is a script that automatically installs all APK files from a folder to your Android using ADB or "USB debugging".
· Install all APK files from the chosen folder to your Android
· Creates a Shortcut on the desktop to install directly the files from the chosen folder.
· If there is more than one device connected , it allows you to choose in which we want to install everything.
· It shows us the name of the program that is being installed, extracting it from inside of the APK, regardless of the file name.
Powershell
InstAPK is a Powershell script. Powershell is basically like a powered MSDOS.
Powershell comes pre-installed in Windows 7, 8 y 8.1. In XP, a manual installation is required:
· XP: Not installed ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929/es-es )
· Windows 7 : Powershell 2
· Windows 8 : Powershell 3
· Windows 8.1 : Powershell 4
The script works in any version.
Requirements
Enable USB Debugging: Settings / General / Developer Settings / USB debugging. You must have all your Android drivers properly installed.
In order that this and others scripts work,,you need to change the execution restriction from “Remote Signed” default option to “Unrestricted”.
· Open the command line as Administrator (Rigth click, “Run As administrator”).
· Write “Powershell” and press Enter.
· Write “Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted” and press Enter.
· Now you can close the window.
Run from Windows
Unzip the zip file into a folder, press right click on InstAPK and select “Run With Powershell”.
Run from Powershell and parameters
· Open Powershell (Start/Programs/Accessories/Windows Powershell or execute ‘powershell’ in a command line)
· Go to the path where you have saved the script
· Type “./InstAPK.ps1” and press Enter
· The parameters that you can specify are:
o “–folder” : then specify the APK folder. If the folder does not exist, the script asks you if you want it to be created.
o “-english” : To force English language

oh this does't work for Lollipop ,what a waste.
Moto E is running on Lollipop.
Some apps can't be backed up using adb backup. It is mainly because on its AndroidManifest.xml the flag android:allowBackup is either not set or set to "false". This tutorial will get you a list of apps that are currently installed on your device but will not be backed up, either using the official adb backup, LG Backup, Sony Backup and Restore, etc. (because they all use adb backup internally). So you can be cautious on advance and you are aware that the backup methods used officially have its flaws.
1) REQUIREMENTS
I will make the list of apps using a computer, so you need several things set up on the computer and the android phone.
1.1) SMARTPHONE REQUIREMENTS
-> USB Debugging enabled: How to enable USB Debugging on Android [Youtube]
1.2) COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
-> aapt.exe and adb.exe installed. I recommend to install the Android Studio Bundle. The binaries will be installed in a path similar to this:
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\24.0.3\aapt.exe
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
-> Add the paths of aapt.exe and adb.exe to your current PATH in Windows: How to Edit Your System PATH for Easy Command Line Access in Windows
-> Cygwin is mandatory to run bash commands on Windows. The x86 version is recommended because it has more commands than the 64bit version. This is where you will actually type the commands.
-> adb drivers for your smartphone. Windows 10 usually will install them flawlessly.
2) GETTING THE LIST OF APPS THAT DON'T ALLOW ADB BACKUP
2.2) CHECKING FOR SOFTWARE AND SMARTPHONE
Go into cygwin to a working directory to store there your temporary files:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/Temp/
Check with Cygwin that you PATH is currently set and that adb.exe and aapt.exe are usable:
Code:
which adb
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb
which aapt
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/aapt
Now connect your android smartphone to the computer with the screen unlocked, accept any data connection (use MTP method if asked or from notifications panel), authorize the computer and run on Cygwin:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
LGH815b4b2c42e unauthorized
adb devices
List of devices attached
LGH815b4b2c42e device
2.3) GETTING THE LIST OF ALL APPS ON THE DEVICE
On this step, a list of all apps on the smartphone, will be saved to a file called all_packages.txt in the format of package name. That string that appears at the end of the url when you browse an app on the Play Store.
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep -v '^$' > all_packages.txt
UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WILL REPLY WHEN FINISHED. SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE INSTERESTED
It looks like somebody released an application for that and works great:
No ADB backup app lister
Crazy Android Manager
adb&fastboot tool for mac and windows.
Version 1.1 :victory:
How to install :
First install ADB from (ADB and Fastboot.zip)
1-Extract zip file
2-Run ADB Install Mac.sh from Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and then restart Terminal.
Now drag (Crazy-AndroidManager) and drop it into Application folder.
--------------------------------------
I have a lot of ideas will be added to the next Version.
If you expression any problems
just email me or you have any ideas
for me on how to improve the program
Then please contact me and I will do my best to improve it
