Hello, I have a problem. I'm trying to do some things from my pc in the phone with the ADB Shell and not let me.
My problem is that I put adb: not found.
I do this:

Worth up here all right but when I have root permissions and everything working I put the commands and none let me get adb remount such or adb pull and nothing makes me adb: not found.
Thank you.

if everything is installed correctly then just make sure you are in the platform-tools dierectory eg.
c:\android-sdk\platform-tools\

yes, all is succesfully installed. I started adb shell with cmd of directory platform-tools\adb but when I put code adb remount or other command I appear me adb: not found

AlOpen task manager and see if any adb process is running. If there are kill them and try again :
Also verify that adb. .exe is in the platform -tools folder. Actually it might be in the tools folder if so try running adb from there...

That's not the way to use adb, so you're not following the guide you're reading correctly.
Usually the guide won't tell you to go to the shell directly, but instead typing something like: adb shell mount -o rw,remount ...
Once you type adb shell you're INSIDE the shell you don't need to call the debugger (adb) anymore...
You shouldn't follow guides without reading them completely and fully understanding them before trying anything.
And by the way you opened two threads with the same question.

HELP

I am trying to put fm radio on the droid 2 but when i try to adb remount under adb shell i get adb not found. But before i do adb shell i can see my device. HELP!!!!!
Resolved
Hello!
First off, please make sure that your topics actually state what your issue is. Typing "HELP!" for a topic won't get you the response that you want, because many people skip these threads.
Okay, do you mean that you are not able to adb remount while you are IN the shell? This makes sense, because adb is an application that allows you to access your device in a Linux terminal style. If you need to use adb to remount the device, you must first exit your shell..
$exit
C:\android-sdk\adb remount
As an example. I hope this helps!
- Andy
i try but i get permission denied

[FIX] [GUIDE] ADB command not found issue

Hi, I'm posting this because I had a lot of problems with ADB shell and its drivers, etc.
Problem: when you try to input a command inside ADB like REBOOT , ADB shell comes back as " ADB: not found"
PPL say you need to re-install drivers, java, SDK, etc.. well none of that worked for me and many users here. I even tried to reinstall Windows.. but that was a no go ether.
FIX: the only way that I could make ADB to send commands to the phone was making a .BAT file and add the commands in there and execute the bat to run the ADB commands.
GUIDE: this is what's inside the .BAT
:cd %:h
adb wait-for-device
**YOUR COMMANDS HERE**
adb wait-for-device
adb shell sync
pause
now for example: you have a THREAD that describe what you need to do to push files with ADB like this
1) Unzip the two files into the directory where ADB is kept
2) Get to that directory in command prompt
3) Connect your phone if you haven't done so already
4) adb remount
5) adb push gps.conf /system/etc
6) adb push SuplRootCert /system/etc
7) adb reboot
now the only thing that you need to do is RIGHT CLICK the Auto ADB.BAT and click EDIT
:cd %:h
adb wait-for-device
**YOUR COMMANDS HERE**
adb wait-for-device
adb shell sync
pause
Just copy and paste the ADB commands from the THREAD there, like this.
:cd %:h
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb push gps.conf /system/etc
adb push SuplRootCert /system/etc
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb shell sync
pause
and close and save the changes, after you inputted your commands just place the Auto ADB.BAT in the folder where you have ADB shell install (E.X: "adb.exe" C:\AndroidSDK\Tools or \Desktop\ADB where you install it or downloaded the folder)
After that it's done. Every time you want to use ADB just EDIT the .BAT, close, save, and execute the .BAT.
Here I leave some THREADS in reference for installing ADB and its components.

Basic adb/shell commands for noobs
Posted by the user *brandenk*
The method mention above (Auto ADB.BAT) it's the last resort when everything else fails and you cannot send commands to adb shell.
I hope this will help some ppl, I spent many days trying to find out a way to make ADB work and this is what I found.
Please be nice in here and if you found another way, I gladly post it up front.
And remember to say Thanks if I helped you
thanks!

HTC One X Root Assistance

Hey guys. I just got my HOX and have been trying to root it. The software update keeps popping up and I keep refusing, so no worries there. I've got 1.85 right now and have been attempting the methods found here and here, but they just aren't working. I'd prefer to use the manual method. Someone willing to help a guy get started with all this would be the greatest person ever, just saying!

Could you help me too X( ? I got my HOX last night at 8pm; I traded my rooted S2 Skyrocket for it.
Been looking for the past day through forums and google. It's so different from Samsung's phones, but a nice change indeed.
I'm on 1.85 and tried those two methods also. I'm not very familiar with ADB. From reading all night and this morning, I believe I root, unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash custom roms?

Thanks. I used this for ADB http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
I remember using it for my S2, but I don't quite understand the directions for the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296 method. Could you dumb it down for this HOX noob?

I'll try to help! all of the following is my interpretation of the rooting method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
What you need:
HOX on ATT 1.85
su binary from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/don'tusemeimabadsubinary
EDIT: The su binary above has issues. Use this one instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9060692/su
Make sure HTC sync is NOT RUNNING (down in system tray)
Make sure phone is set to "charge only" and usb debugging is enabled!
Download correct su file (assuming you don't have a problem with this step )
Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory
Quote from Butters619: cd means change directory. It is a windows command prompt command. So you would type "cd C:\adb" if that was where your adb folder was. Folder and directory can be used interchangeably, although directory is more "correct". We only say folder because GUIs use folders to represent directories.
NEW - pull sim card
NEW - do factory reset
NEW - when reset is complete, do not replace sim, do NOT connect to wifi. Go through setup, go to settings, enable USB debugging. When that's done:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
(If you get file doesn't exist after the FIRST command don't worry - they may not be there)
Now, on the phone, go to settings and check for software update. It will tell you you need to connect to network. Now, replace the SIM OR connect to wifi. Have it check for software update again. When it's done, do NOT click "yes" or "ok" on the phone. Simply:
Enter these commands in adb:
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
IF AND ONLY IF you get "file not exists" or anything like that then set your phone's date 2 days ahead and reboot the phone and start over. If you get file info, you're golden. Proceed...
Enter these commands into adb:
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Reboot via adb by entering this command: adb reboot
After phones reboots
Enter these commands in adb:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
You should be rooted.

Thanks. Yeah i've been trying it alld ay but it can't find where my SU is. it's in the same location as the ADB stuff i believe C:\android-sdk-windows. Seem like some of the senior members are willing to go through teamviewer to help the ones who can't do it. I'll try asking them :/
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but please let me know if/how you get this to work just in case this happens to me when I get my one x.

[Q] adb .bat file to soft brick phone

Ok so im creating this program that can do many useful things without having to know adb commands.
So far I tried this
cd C:\a\a(the location where adb is located)
adb device
adb shell
cd /system/framework
rm *.*

Whenever it gets to the line adb shell, the cmd window stops and you have to manually type it
Does anyone have any idea how to delete framework?
Also im not trying to destroy peoples phones

[Q] .bat file to open adb shell?

I thought it would be nice to have a quick way to open adb shell, so I tried to make a .bat file to do so.
This is the code I put in the .bat file.
cd..
cd..
cd..
cd adt-bundle-windows-x86_64
cd sdk
cd platform-tools
adb
When I run the program, it runs through and closes.
Does anyone know what I did wrong?

to open a adb shell the command is "adb shell"
EDIT
Oh and why not put all your cd commands into one command? ie.
cd ..................\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools

Sorry, I think I asked the wrong question. Im not trying to open adb shell but just adb.exe from the sdk.
The program I made seems to do the same thing as just double clicking on the adb.exe, but it is supposed to work correctly through cmd.
Maybe it is not running through cmd correctly?

When running via the command line you have to issue an argument to adb, e.g adb shell or adb devices etc etc

Yep, that's right. It would stay if you enter something like adb shell. A simple adb devices lists all the recognized devices via adb and the command is done.
Why are you trying to start adb? The cd to your adb folder should be enough to type commands or open the adb shell.
