Hello all! Here is a guide I am going to show for you so you can get Android SDK and ADB working on your computer and learn your way around Android.
[Note] I am doing this on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit computer.
Step 1. Get Java. Download Links Here
First what we need to do is download and install Java for your computer.
Since mine is a 64bit I will need to download both the 64 and 32 bit versions of Java.
If your computer is 64bit you will need to download both.
If 32bit download only the 32bit version.
Once you have Java installed we can move on to the next step.
Step 2. Get Android SDK Download Link Here
Since we have installed Java now we move on to Android SDK.
For Windows users you have 2 options to download SDK.
I chose the .zip file over the .exe Download to the zip
Once finished with the download extract the .zip file.
After zip is extracted open the folder called "android-sdk_r11-windows"
With that open click on the folder, "android-sdk-windows", to rename it.
Rename it AndroidSDK
Open Computer from the Start Menu
For me my Local Disk is C: so I am going to place the folder AndroidSDK in my Local Disk C: drive
Now we have SDK placed in our Local Disk drive now we are going to open the folder and run the .exe called "SDK Manager"
After it loads up it will show you a screen like this.
Just hit Cancel
From the next menu click "Available packages"
Click the drop down arrow on the "Android Repository"
Check the box "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 5"
At the bottom right of the windows you will see a box "Install Selected" click that and then you will be prompted to download and install the package click "Install"
After it is downloaded you will be prompted with this.
Click Yes, then it should say "Done. 1 Package installed."
Click close and close out of the SDK Manager, bring back up your AndroidSDK.
You should have a file named "platform-tools" open it and select all the files.
Right click and select cut.
Now we are going to go back in our SDK folder open "tools" and paste
You will get a message saying there are already files with the same name, just tell it to replace that file.
This is what it should look like afterwards.
Now we are done with AndroidSDK!
Step 3. Download HTC Sync Download Page Here
Now we have our SDK setup we are close to having our phone ready for ADB.
Download HTC Sync (It is a rather large file 148MB)
This will give us our Drivers for our Sensation.
Once downloaded run the .exe file and follow the on screen instructions.
Once finished go to your phone and go to Settings/Applications/Development and Check USB debugging is on. Now connect your phone to your computer.
Now that your computer has installed your drives we can now use ADB!
Step 4. Conclusion
So far the things we have done were to get us to use our phones for ADB to use a program like, "Fre3vo" to where we can have a temp-root.
Now lets see if our hard work has paid off.
Go to the Start and open command prompt (type cmd in the search and hit enter)
Once your at this stage on the command prompt
type
"cd\"
"cd androidsdk\tools\"
"adb devices"
(don't include the quotation marks)
You should see your device come up like so.
Congratulations you now have everything you need to being!
Very good tutorial, thx.

I tried to add every bit of detail that is why it is so long and with many pictures for new people coming to the Sensation and don't know where or what to do. Thanks for you complement.
This is what I explained in the other thread to the guy who made a whole thread about it. Good to see that you created a complete guide with screenshots, cheers!
Thanks.
This is really cool man.
I have a dumb qustion after I do all this then what should I do
and how I push ADB ?

Hi,
Great guide.
Works for me.
+1 for the sticky.
Sent telepathically from my PYRAMID
Awesome guide, you are Thanked Sir
Just a little tip to save a few key strokes. To get to a cmd prompt and be ready to start typing commands right away, just navigate to the AndroidSDK directory and open it. Then hold the shift key + right click on Tools folder, you will see a option for opening a cmd prompt here.
Just saves a few strokes.
This should be made into a stickie!
Thanks for this...I wouldnt have a clue otherwise.

Do you have a virus protection program open?
Try to disable the virus protection program first, if that doesn't work. I have another way to get the drivers.
It's a bit more complicated but it works.
I made this guide on a brand new computer, and wrote this guide from a brand new computer stand point. So I didn't have any virus protection or any firewall programs.
Try to reboot and uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall.
Hope this helps!
Slightly easier way to get ADB and Fastboot running in ANY window without having to go to the SDK folder each time (this is for Windows 7 but should work in other Windows version too):
1. Click 'Start and right-click on 'Computer'
2. Go to 'Properties'
3. Click on 'Advanced system settings' in the top-left corner
4. Click the 'Environment variables...' button
5. In the bottom pane, scroll down to the 'Path' entry and then add the location of the SDK to the end of the line, using a ; to seperate it from the previous entry
Voila, you can just open a CMD windows and type adb and you're good to go!
Thanks so much for this guide. This is my first Android phone so I am a complete noob. I'm gonna try the temp root now!

Fair enuff, but it's quite easy to do if you follow those instructions. Combined we've put pretty everything you need to get it running
Instead of copy pasting adb from platform-tools to tools you can do this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
read step 3. works great.
Edit: read the edit .
Thank you for the guide btw. I wish i researched and found out how to do it, its easy but a great guide like this would have gone a long way and save me an hour
I looked in android developement (rooting, FAQ,..etc) thread and was sure I was on the right track until it said that "easy root for linyx and mac" and "super 1 Click" would not work for 2.3.3. Now I am confused as to where to start. I read that you should download Clockwork mod and it said download a gingerbread rom, but I am confused because I thought the version 2.3.3 that I have is in fact gingerbread. Isn't there an easy tutorial for 2.3.3 users? Right now my phone is just unlocked and that's it. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't know what all the rooting terms mean so please be clear. Thanks

Ok, I appreciate the response however, I have questions:
1) I don't get it....the second link you posted says you don't need to use Rom Manager but also suggests you go read the first link you posted which says you need to use Rom Manager. These directions are all over the place.
2) Will all of this rooting be taking place on my PC...I have windows XP
3) It says install Rom Manager to your O/S. What is an O/S and what is Rom Manager.
It would be nice if all of these links and directions were on one page and didn't bring you to more links that bring you to more links that bring you to more directions that bring you to more links.

1) No it doesn't, dont use ROM manager at all. What I think you're confusing it with is Clockwork Recovery, thats what's being flashed from your computer so you can change into better roms.
2) Yes, you use the one click root and you'll see your phone running code and then it'll be done, and you use Clockwork Recovery to flash roms.
3) Wrong for both, and look up what an OS is, some questions are so simple that you should use Google instead. Its an Operating System, and if you dont know what that is, Google is your friend.

Before i attempt this let me just say that i found a gingerbreak youtube video which is called(gingerbreak one click ROOT ANY Gingerbread 2.3.3 Android device) that seems a lot simpler. You simply download an app and it does the rest for you. Have you heard of this? Id like to do it this way so i dont screw anything up but will i be getting the same benefits?

If what we posted is to complicated then rooting is not for you. Just Saying.
agreed, gingerbreak might do the trick but regardless if you do not use the method "King" posted then you are gonna regret it all, and be very frustrated and freak out and make crazy posts! You need to flash ClockWork Recovery in order to switch roms everything else is not proper and only a temporary work around! here is a step by step video just watch it all the way through put the files in a place that easy for you to figure out and then do the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUT5JcnJHgk
Ok so let me get this straight. Im gonna do what youve suggested.
1)So im basically downloading two things to my computer : (1 click root) and after that, (clockwork mod)? Is that what you giys are saying?
2)will windows xp work to do this?
yes I still use Windows XP.

ok I've downloaded the file and extracted the the APX and NVFlash folders. I see both folders chilling there. At this point I'm confused because the directions from that second link you gave me says to "install the APX windows driver from the APX folder. Again I have the APX folder and the NVFlash folders in plain siight and when I click on the APX folder, none of the files in there start doing anything....what am I looking for in the APX folder? I see a setup file labeled "NVIDIA" but when I right click it and click install, nothing happens.
Trust me, follow the instructions to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, etc... and you won't ever look back. An hour or two or careful research and following directions will lead to a (phone's) lifetime of enjoyment
the files aren't gonna magically open them selves and start doing everything for you lol, read the directions, or watch the video I linked...

I appreciate all the help, but I am following the directions in order from the second link that you've posted. It says to install the apx driver first. So are you telling me to skip all the APX stuff and go right to CWM Recovery? Remember, I have XP and these directions are for others I think.

From one of the links already posted.
(Windows x86 and x64 O/S Drivers):
****If you are running VmWare kill it.****
1 Remove the battery.
2 Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
3 Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.
4 Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
5 Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
6 Right click on the APX device.
7 Select 'Update driver software'.
8 Select 'Browse my computer...'.
9 Select 'Let me pick...'.
10 Select 'Have disk'.
11 Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\APX.
12 Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).
13 Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
14 If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.

Yes thank you. This is where I'm stuck because right above all these directions it say, "Install APX driver from APX folder" not sure how to do this before I begin all these directions. How do I open device manager on Windows XP on step 5?
Ok I'm done with those directions now. Thank you. Now I'm stuck on ClockModRecovery.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1.Remove the battery.
2.Goto NvFlash directory and Double Click "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe".
3.Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from your phone.
4.Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down. (Keep them held until you see the "S/W Upgrade" screen on your phone after you complete step7!).
5.Plug in the USB cable to your phone.
6.Click the "Flash CWM" button of your choosing. If you own a External SD card I suggest to choose version 5.0.2.0. This gives you Internal and External SD Support for ROM flashing but has External SD Nandroid Backup Support Only! If you do not own a External SD Card choose version 4.0.1.5 what has full Internal SD support for flashing ROMS and Nandroid backup.
7.You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you can just pull the USB cord while it still says "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".
8.Put the battery back in and you can now boot into Recovery. (see below..)
I'm stuck on number 2. I'm looking at the 2 folders again: "APX" and "NVFlash". I clicked into NVFLASH and clicked "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe". It says, "the application failed to initialize properly". Click OK to terminate the application".

Make sure you've disabled antivirus because some of them will interfere. If it still won't work, try downloading it again and reinstalling...it might be a bad install

I can not figure out what the hell I am doing wrong here.
I downloaded the naked driver pack on the guide page labeled 'Drivers TF700: Windows (Patched Universal Naked Driver)'. I unzipped the folder and plugged my TF700 into my computer. I then opened up the Device Manager and clicked on 'Asus Android Devices', then right clicked on 'Asus Android Composite ADB Interface' and pressed uninstall. I checked the 'delete the driver software for this device' and pressed OK.
The drivers uninstalled successfully and I turned off my WiFi card. I then unplugged and re-plugged my TF700 and navigated to 'Other Devices' in the Device Manager. I right clicked on 'Asus Android Composite ADB Interface' and clicked 'update driver software...' and then on 'browse my computer for driver software'.
I then navigated to the folder that I unzipped the driver pack to and tried to install them (clicking the 'include sub-folders' option). No go, I got the error message 'Windows was unable to find the driver software for your device' or something very similar. I then tried specifically pointing to both the i386 and amd64 sub-folders just to see if that wouldn't work somehow but I got the same error message.
What am I doing wrong? I am using a Lenovo G550 (I think) 32-bit laptop running Windows 7. My TF700 is rooted and unlocked but not much else has been done to it.
If anyone can help me get these installed I would really appreciate it. I assume I can probably set up NvFlash with the standard Asus drivers but I would rather set it up exactly the way it is recommended to ensure success.
Massive thanks in advance!

Put the device in apx mode then try that process. It should show up as an APX device and that's what you apply the nvflash drivers to.

That step isn't till later
@OP - let it update the drivers form Windows. That should be fine. As long as you can see the device and it has no errors or warnings around it. you only need the specific drivers when you get to the APX mode, then it will find them.
I had pretty much the same problem, but it turned out it went a lot smoother with reboot in between. Try that, and disable Windows' desperate searching for drivers on Windows Update -- I got some funky drivers and device designations from the WHQL drivers... Please report back in with any progress or lack thereof, and we'll try and get you back on track.

This.
I had big time problems as well with installing these correctly. You need to reboot after uninstalling all old drivers. 1) Hook up Infinity in Android Debug mode 2) uninstall/delete old drivers like you did 3) reboot PC 4) Plug in Infinity again in Android Debug mode 5) install drivers manually through hardware wizard (use have disk option)
Repeat this process for fastboot mode. Note: you will get a warning that you are installing drivers that have not passed WHQL. Disregard. Install anyways.
Its a pain in the butt process but you have to reboot after uninstalling each old driver. You should probably reboot and remove Infinity USB connection after each successful install of new drivers. This is how I got everything to work. I also tried a different USB port.

Still no luck. I uninstalled 'ASUS ABD Interface', unplugged the TF700, restarted the computer, plugged the tablet back in, and tried to uninstall. Told me the same thing, that Windows could not find the driver software.
Any other ideas? I have no clue what to do now...

I am having the same exact issue. And strangely I get the same results on both my laptop and desk top systems. I search the forums for solutions and found the same answers that were suggested here but nothing works for me. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong since so many others seem to be able to install the drivers without problems. Did you ever resolve your driver issue? Are you certain that the standard ASUS drivers will work?

Guys you need to install those drivers manually,it's not that hard.Here's how you should do it:
1) Put your device in Fastboot or APX mode (depend on the driver you want to install) and connect it to your PC
2) Open Device Manager and select the device
3) Right Click and select " Update Driver Software " and choose " Browse My Computer for driver software"
4) Now click on " Let me pick from a list of device driver " and select " HAVE DISK "
5) BROWSE to the folder where naked drivers are located and select "android_winusb.inf " if you are trying to install the FastBoot driver or choose " android_apxusb.inf " if you are trying to install the APX drivers.
6) After the installation is done reboot your PC
If Windows give you a big red warning about the driver not beeing signed just ignore it and go ahead installing the driver.
Also you should disable UAC if it's enabled.

Thank you very, very much but I just figured that out and came back to this thread to tell it. I wasn't doing the "Have Disk" thing. I was just browsing to the driver's folder. I just successfully installed NVflash. I installed the ADB drivers at first but during the Nvflash installation process I had to go back and install the APX drivers. Thanks again. Now time for Jelly Bean.

Is the other way around, NvFlash will help you in 98% of bricks situation, if you don't believe try to investigate more, you can even try to wipe your bootloader if you want to check that percentage.

I'm still not getting it I guess. I am assuming when doing it this way you do not uninstall the original drivers first or else the computer would not recognize the device correctly, please correct me if I am wrong.
I keep seeing this supposed "have disk" option talked about but I don't see it anywhere. Could someone please screenshot it for me?
Thanks for all the help guys, I (hope) I am close to getting it.

I'm talking about nvflash for the tf700 only. 98% of ppl in the tf700 experienced this type of issue where nvflash is uselessmost I believe cause by install custom recovery), where your pc failed to see your device. Below is another sample.

So I see you are trolling this thread too... 98%??? Really??? Can you give a source for that or is that a number you just made up?
NVFlash is useless if you have not already made the backups. But you are completely incorrect if you are suggesting that it is useless even if you have made the backups.
Best not to troll when you clearly do not understand what you are talking about

I'm still not getting it I guess. I am assuming when doing it this way you do not uninstall the original drivers first or else the computer would not recognize the device correctly, please correct me if I am wrong.
I keep seeing this supposed "have disk" option talked about but I don't see it anywhere. Could someone please screenshot it for me?
Thanks for all the help guys, I (hope) I am close to getting it.

Damn,i can't believe this....When you get to this step " 4) Now click on " Let me pick from a list of device driver " and select " HAVE DISK ... " look on the right bottom of that menu,do you see a "Have Disk" button?.

Here is a screen capture from my system. Look in the lower right for the HAVE DISK button. Following the directions giving earlier should get you to this point. Just click HAVE DISK and guide to where you have the drivers on your system. You may not see the list of drivers as on the screen capture the first time you do it. Since I have already installed the drivers the system remembered where to look so the drivers are visible. Also make sure to connect your tablet to your computer in order for the device to be visible in device manager. The device in device manager should say android ABD Interface or something of that sort. It took me awhile to get it too

Apparently the link opens another page.Once on that page click the little box for the image.

As of the time of this reply I have got the Fasboot drivers installed, but I still saw now "have disk" option. After turning UAC off (don't know how that got back on) I was still just selecting a folder as shown in my previous screenshot.
About to try APX, will post results.
Got it! Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate it. This was seriously driving me crazy, but I still don't understand how we are looking at different menus.
This post is by "kibaruk" his method worked for me.
Thanks kibaruk!!!!!!

ok for all slate 7 users, i found a real easy and secure way to root our device, no brick chance because it doesn't modify anything inside the tablet, you just push su.
Way easier than having to install software you don't even know what it does...
The hardest part of the whole thing is installing the adb drivers which is detailed below in step 6-7-8 in case it's all you need.
step 1: Download android sdk manager (there are lots of stripped versions that might work but for tutorials sake we'll use the whole thing).
step 2: Download cydia's impactor (cydia's impactor home page in case you are interested in reading a bit).
step 3: Install both software previously downloaded (the android sdk manager doesnt have an installer, it will unzip and work from that directory, it's probably better if you unzip it into an easy to access path but it's up to you, for tutorial we will use c:\asdk\ ).
step 4: Open android sdk manager, select from the list and install only* "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" (* only as in this are the only things we actualy need, if you need at some other point or are interested in tinkering you are free to do so).
Ok so here we start with the sort-of-hard part, making our computer connect with our slate 7 through adb, to do this you need to...
step 5: Open a command terminal (windows button + r to open a run window and type cmd to open a terminal).
step 6: Go to c:\users\username\.android\ and type within the terminal:
Code:
echo 0x03f0 >> adb_usb.ini
step 7: At this point you need to get back to an explorer window and get to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ (or wherever you unzipped it), there you will find a file called "android_winusb.ini", open it and add at the end the following:
Code:
; hp
%singleadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5e1d
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5d1d&mi_01
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_601d&mi_01
step 8: Open windows device manager and you will see your tablet as "hp" with a yellow warning icon, right click it and check update software, then click look for software in the computer, then click on choose driver from a list.
Once you do this you will see an icon "use disk". Explore your way to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ and choose "android_winusb.ini" file.
The first option you will see is android adb interface, so you pick next, it will warn you about installing drivers from unkwnown sources you keep saying yes until it's done.
step 9: Go back to your cmd terminal and get to c:\asdk\sdk\platform-tools\ , this is where adb.exe is and type in the following:
Code:
adb kill-server
Code:
adb start-server
Code:
adb devices
if everything worked as expected you will see a device listed, this is your slate 7.
step 10: Now open cydia's impactor tool, you will see a small window with a default command on screen which is the following:
Code:
# drop supersu su to /system/xbin/su
just click start next to it aaaaand you are done!
Just open an app like titanium backup which needs root to see if it worked.
This method is simple plus you don't have to download anything chinese or unnecesary software into your computer, the tutorial is really long because i tried to be as detailed as posible but in the end you shouldnt take more than 5 minutes (the downloads might take a bit longer though for the sdk), i would take screenshots of the process but my computer runs on a spanish version of windows (the same reason why you might see things with different names i was just trying to guess the device manager label part).
If you have any question feel free to ask and if it worked for you a thanks would be awesome so more users will try this.

The Slate 7 and the TP are completely different. I strongly suggest that instead of posting here, you request that XDA start a forum for your device. A quick Google search turns up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=855.
I know they are different but there is no Sub Forum for Slate 7.
So I posted it here hoping for someone to reply with Root files :/
Thanks for moving it.

Hey mate,
I have tried to root the HP Slate 7. I am not a developer. I am just an user who knows a thing or two.
Upon trying to sideload flash root files, adb stops and says it cannot be done on production firmware. Same goes via manual.
So the issue relies on the firmware. HP has locked the device down so we will either need to wait on HP to give us the unlock method or for a developer to crack it!
You can always try yourself but not sure if it will work. I think if we created a pre-root firmware we could flash that to gain root.
Root files are universal so just search and download!
Well I can't find root files.
And the problem I think is the CWM.

Tried this and no success. This is what I have been doing and no luck. adb commands work and it will push but the apps aren't there after completing step 2 and running unlock root. I have done a reboot and tried more than once.
I have done this method before so I don't know where I am going wrong lol.
To be honest, I think my Slate and laptop aren't communicating correctly. I cannot transfer non-media files. Have you got this issue?

Mate have you done something to your HP Slate that I haven't? Or you have a special one.
Adb works fine for me. Gaining root does not. Same error. Cannot do on a production build.
Any updates done before root? Mine was out the box and straight to the laptop for rooting. I downloaded the backup firmware from HP's site and not used it.

Hi folks. im currently unable to use adb in cmd, only fastboot. So if anyone can help me upgrade my usb drivers to use adb with my windows 10. My device is seen currently as Kedacom USB Device, Google,inc driver. Android Bootloader Interface is using Microsoft winusb.sys (driver), wdfinstaller01009.dll(control), winusbCoinstaller2.dll(control)which are Windows 7 (old) Those are the best Microsoft and Dell can provide.
I know theres h91810 (i) LG_UP.dll floating around but Tmo is anti-rollback. So H91810( j ) LG_UP.dll would be the goto file set (i hope) Btw, the (i) is corrupt anyways? File extracted had error showing for me while it was in the .zip
Either one of these will help me with progressing towards getting my device working

Uninstall the driver. Unplug your internet. Plug in your phone. Profit
Might have to select to install driver from a list. Then select Google.
