so my iMac only recognizes my nexus 5 when i set it to camera storage, when i try to root, or unlock boot loader dab won't recognize it. This is my first mac, and i have no problem doing it with a windows computer. How do i get it to show up, are there drivers i'm missing?

You need to download Android File Transfer on macs. I actually find it better than windows since I don't have to fiddle with drivers to get adb and fastboot working.

Maybe it's because your mac is old? Whats the error?
Code:
error: device not found
Is that it?
No bash is the error, maybe I have the wrong SDK? Or my coding is bad

You have to be in the directory where adb is and use ./adb instead of just adb.
I would really recommend using this tutorial and getting everything setup where you don't have to do that every time.

I installed ADB (Windows 7) has described in this forum. ADB recognizes my phone when the phone is on. When I load the bootloader to prepare to unlock it the serial number does not show like when its on. Is this normal? Do I just proceed to unlock it?

You should not see it mounted unless you have it mounted. try running this command replacing blah with the file path to your adb file
Code:
blah/blah/blah adb shell
If it works, you're golden. If not, troubleshoot
I set the environmental variables so I can just enter adb shell?

Um I'm not too great with windows and on a mac we just drag the adb file into our command prompt and it works =/ what I'm saying is I have no idea what you mean by environmental variables. Try it? If it doesn't tell you the phone isn't there but also doesn't say its starting the daemon then you have to enter everything.
Awesome I'll give it a shot when I get home.

I tried adb shell and it says error: device not found. I've tried to update the drivers that i got from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786
Inside the x64 drivers there looks like there are 4 that might work:
Android_test
Android_usb
Android_winusb
Android_winusb2
I really dont understand what I'm doing wrong.
Edit: I entered the entire path and still nothing.
haha I got it. I was getting frustrated of trying to "play it safe" and said screw it. I just went ahead and entered fastboot oem unlock and it worked lol......
Rooted!!!

Help! When I try to root my evo shift with gui shift root and recovery all I get is an adb error message. I have installed htc sync on my laptop. I also cannot connect to sync. These problems may be related? I am running windows vista.
sounds like the drivers may not have installed... Where did you get the version of sync you installed? You're best bet is to use the one off the sdcard. I've had an occasion or two also where things got messed up, and I uninstalled it all and reinstalled. (under programs and features you'll find HTC sync and driver installer, remove both and reinstall if necessary)
I installed it off the sd card and have did the install/ uninstall at least 5 times. still no luck.
i had same error but i just did mine maually. theres a video now for manually rotting it. if you fllow the steps you will root your shift

I'm in the same boat no matter what I do it my shift won't connect to sync and when I run adb devices it kicks a blank line then right back to platform-tools I'm running Vista myself and messed with it for hours and no luck I'm mad because I have rooted my shifts already and don't know what went wrong with the drivers sync or my pc this sucks as I need to be able to adb to help test some things

You do have adb debugging on right... the only other thing I could think of.
Yes I do have debugging on.
have you tried getting sync from htc's website to be sure?
If I'm correct the old version of syn from sprints website was giving me problems loading the drivers. I used the newest version from htc website and voila I was good to go. U may want to try that. I just re rooted earlier use the gui and it worked like a charm

I have the sync from htc website. I still get error running adb try again. Ive used the same usb cord and ports with my archos pad and have no trouble transfering files.

I dunno what the other guys error is but I know on mine if I go to device manager there is an error code 37 with my HTC on my Vista pc.....I can cd to my c:\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools
But when I hit add devices it kicks back and empty line after it starts the Damon on whatever then right back out to platform tools...it does the same thing with every sync I install, plus my phone can't find sync on my pc at all even if its open...and help would be really appreciated

I'm having the "error running adb try again" problem as well. Unfortunately when I try to run adb from the cmd prompt its output goes to a popup cmd prompt window which disappears before I can read it. My guess however is that it's blank like yours.
I'm convinced I've done everything they way I'm supposed to. Has anyone yet gotten the htc drivers to work under vista?
I had this same issue with ADB..all I did was, while connected via usb, uncheck debugging and then recheck. Clicked root again and it worked.
Sigh, there was a adb update. Install the new version from the sdk, delete the one in shiftrr, copy the new one in, close adb with task manager, then run as you were trying to do before. That fixed it for me.
And make sure when you install the recovery, not to use the one it comes with, it doesn't support the newer roms we have on the shift now. If you want to flash current ones, use clockwork 5.0.2.0, our twrp (recommended)
I have been trying to set up adb on my new laptop the way I did on my old one but I'm having trouble getting the driver to install. I go to the device manager and find the android phone in Other devices just fine but when I try to update driver by going to "C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver" it tells me "Windows was unable to install your Android Phone". Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm cornfuzzeled... Here is where I got my information.
Did you try installing the HTC drivers?
Try universal naked driver too

I can't find the link and I don't remember exactly how to do it; but it's something about when you install the drivers you have to right click, go to properties and click configure for windows 7.
But I did find this: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/update-drivers-windows-7.htm
Maybe it will help?
Doesn't cygwin allow you to do that? I haven't used it in a while, but I'm pretty I used for Linux commands for my palm devices and for my shift.

Connect your device to the computer in MTP mode, open the USB Mass Storage app and click On.
Thats how ive done it and it has worked fine in Windows 7, Ubuntu, OpenSuse and Fedora.

Yes, my phone is rooted.
I install SuperSU from market, and root start working
i tried to compare a '# mount' output and it is identical
But when i press 'mount' in app, mtp device disappears from my computer. And /mnt/sdcard in my phone still mounted to phone.
Afaik, /mnt/sdcard need to be umounted from phone and mounted to usb
Maybe there is something wrong with my phone cause my phone can't start a wifi tethering, Wifi hotspot works well, but no NAT rules in iptables
I think after unlocking bootloader applications can't execute something in command line

I usually just copy adb and fastboot into the image directory and hit the flash-all.bat,but the path it gets installed to is "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"

I have Windows 10 installed on four PCs (two desktops and two laptops) without a single problem. PCs, I might add, that I have torn down and replaced various bits on...changed graphics cards, upgraded to SSD drives. All rock solid.
For ADB, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
It is small, pretty much fool-proof (every time I say that, someone proves me wrong) and has a support forum.
