The commands are the same. Just like Linux users can follow Windows directions but with some substitutions.
Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/index.html
Follow the instructions here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/installing.html
Once you have the SDK setup, you can follow the steps given in the rooting threads/wiki. Any time it says to enter a command you do it in your terminal (which on OSX i think is Terminal.app, use Spotlight to find it).
Hope this helps a bit.
i dont get this:
Code:
On a Mac, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile if you haven't already set one up on your machine
i don't have that .bash_profile how do i create it?
thanks
Google easy to use and always there for you.

yeah but all tutorials are made for xp or even linux.
I have tried to create it using vi command then edited with the path o the sdk tools
but when i type adb it doesn't do anything
i am stuck there
Did you check my link for your bash_profile ? This help at all?

Try reading this:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2621/os_x_change_path_environment_variable/
Sounds like the Path variable may be in a different file. It is the same on linux, I think it can be in a few places.
Irf you want to use adb without messing with your path you can do the following:
Code:
cd <android-sdk-location>/tools
./adb devices
This is convoluted so get that PATH working and everything should be nice and easy! Good luck.
I use a Mac, and when I was getting started I used the linux tutorials with no problem.
i can push the 2 files using commands to my sd. Adb devices shows my htc ok
but after i enter to fastboot mode the device is no longe shown
i type
Code:
./fastboot boot recovery-new.img
but the only thing i get is
Code:
-bash: fastboot: command not found
i am on tools directory on terminal
i think fastboot is not in the tools directory ...
i'd rather say the error is caused by that then a missing connection.
Does the phone write "FASTBOOT USB" ?
if you type "ls", can you find a file named fastboot in your directory?

The files have to be executable. You can do that by running:
Code:
chmod -R +x /path/to/tools
This makes all the files in the tools directory executable with ./
About the .bashrc or .bash_profile if you don't have one in your home directory you can safely make one. With the following command:
Code:
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/tools/" > ~/.bashrc
or if the file exists just do:
Code:
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/tools/" >> ~/.bashrc
Remember to restart the shell after you are done with this.
the reason adb work for you is because adb is in tools directory
fastboot does not. You have to get fastboot somewhere else
Whenever you get command not found, you can run another command to check
ls <program you ran>, and see what happened
Example
in your tools directory, where you have no problem running adb push, try doing "ls adb", without the quote
in your tools directory, where you have problem running fastboot, try doing "ls fastboot", without the quote
and you should see what's going on
BTW, this is fairly basic unix environment. If you are having trouble at this stage, you need to get yourself more familiar with unix environment, which is what osx is based on
I am sorry, but i don't really know where's good tutorial on unix
On google, i just search for "mac osx unix shell tutorial:, and come across this site
http://www.osxfaq.com/tutorials/LearningCenter/
Hope this help
Edit 1: btw, here's where you can find fastboot for MAC. Put it in your tools directory. IF you keep the filename as is, you need to type fastboot-mac whenever you see someone mention fastboot
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
yeah you're right fastboot is not on that tools directory. in fact i have looked into the whole sdk folder and i can't find it.
thanks
hey i managed to apply the update thanks to having fastboot-mac on tools folder
but after booting i go to terminal to apply the final step and i get this
Code:
MBdeluxe:tools cesarleon$ ./adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-new.img
error reading /sdcard/recovery-new.img header: Is a directory
what's wrong ?
thank you people

Are u sure that recovery.img got transferred properly? Maybe check the rights on it (it not read only or something). What if you mount the sdcard in OS X and copy and paste (vs push)?
If you're trying to flash the recovery image, try
Code:
adb shell mount -a
adb push recovery-new.img /system/recovery.img
adb push recovery-new.img /sdcard/recovery-new.img
adb flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-new.img
Hope that helps
adb shell mount -a

Very odd error message
Do this to check what your phone's sdcard looks like
Code:
adb shell ls -l /sdcard/recovery-new.img
Next, you should grab the file from your phone to your computer. This step assume you are in your tools directory
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/recovery-new.img recovery-new-phone.img
Finally, try to compare the file you have on your computer against the one you got from your phone, and see if they are the same. This assume you have your working recovery-new.img in tools directory
Code:
diff recovery-new.img recovery-new-phone.img
I have not try this diff command, and I assume it'l handle binary diff
If diff can not handle binary file, do ls and check file size. both file should match
Code:
ls -l recovery-new.img recovery-new-phone.img
If your computer and phone recovery-new.img are not the same, download to phone again

You will get Failed Mounts when u run
Code:
adb shell mount -a
You CAN ignore them.

This may not be the right way to do it but I always just downloaded the recovery to the tools directory of the android sdk. Then fire up the phone in fastboot mode and do:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-new.img
(replacing recovery-new.img with the name of the downloaded img file.)
I'm sure there is a reason people are doing it the other way, but for myself one command to do the flash is alot easier!
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.

I'm not sure if that's a screenshot from your own computer or not.
On my computer adb resides in C:\adb. So when using it I type:
cd C:\adb
Then, to make sure it sees my device, I type.
adb devices
If it returns a device, great. Otherwise check your usb cable and driver.
I have a feeling you need to tell cmd prompt where to look for adb by using the cd (change directory) command.
For instance, if your adb install is located in C:\Users\User1\adb, you would type cd C:\Users\User1\adb, and hit enter.
adb stands or Android Debug Bridge. It's a command line tool that comes with the Android SDK (Software Development Kit). If you develop for Android, you should know where it is.
Anyway, in my case it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe
Google Android SDK to get it.
If you have adb, and you're typing: adb shell, then you go to the Android shell. You don't need to type "adb" inside the shell again!
What I mean is:
Code:
adb shell ls
it's the same than:
Code:
adb shell
ls
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
I am trying to replace my digitizer firmware so G01 will work in place of the 5185FC I replaced.
I was following a guide which told me to type this in:
$adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /sdcard/
$adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /sdcard/
$adb shell
$su
#touch_fw_update command -u /sdcard/02-3011-4820.ekt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
every time I try to push the new touch firmware I get this
"cannot stat '02-3011-4820.ekt': No such file or directory"
adb detects my device, I havea all the naked drivers, Android studio and JDK 64bit installed.... what else do I need to do?
I'm just wondering what I can do to fix this and get my touchscreen working once and for all!
Thank you so much in advance
And you are in the folder where you have put the file you want to push?
Changed the directory in the command prompt to the correct folder?
edit: ok, if it's linux, not the command prompt, but the shell...

I put the file on the root if the sdcard. Or should i be putting it in the directory of minimaladb/fastboot?
How do i change the directory in the command prompt?
Im using Windows 7 by the way.

Here is the command you are using to push
Code:
adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /sdcard/
Maybe try this instead .....
Code:
adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /sdcard
You can change directory with this
Code:
cd
and you can list files once in adb shell like this
Code:
ls
Thx Josh
I wasn't sure what I should cd to. I also tried ls but wasn't sure what to do from there.
I did look at the tutorial for adb and pushed the file into /sdcard/ from my laptop. It seemed to be successful because this is the message I got
943 KB/s <32868 bytes in 0.034s>

I proceed to type in the following

It seems like I'm at least moving forward a couple steps so that's good.
