You need to add "C:\Users\korey\Desktop\Korey's ****\android-sdk-windows\tools" to your PATH environment variable.
Please post in the correct forum next time

Android SDK help

Guys I need help, I for the life of me cant get that thing to work. Its installed in my programs files (x86), that is where it was put when I hit install.
I got into command and get to the C:\Program File (X86)\Android\android-sdk>tools
I get tools is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I type in adb devices and I get the same error.
Any ideas or can anyone help me. I never need to do the androidsdk for the captivate, but it looks like I need it for the inspire.

tools is another directory
so add /tools to your command
adb should work from there

You need to unzip it to your c drive and then open up cmd and type something along the lines of
cd c:/sdk /tools
The file names have to match it you will get that error

Change name to androidsdk. Then run as administration for windows. Type cd c:\androidsdk/tools
Inspire 4G / Desire HD
Depending on the country

it is unzipped, and installed. I will try those commands thats

Yea - so you'd wanna run a command prompt as admin, then type:
cd c:\program file (x86)\android\android-sdk\tools
hit enter
This will put you in the tools directory. NOTE: If you've installed the newest version of SDK, adb is no longer in tools, it's in platform-tools, so you'd want to navigate to:
cd c:\program file (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
hit enter
adb devices
hit enter

Trying to sideload, error message. Help!

Says my phone is connected fine and everything, but when I click on install (android central sideloader app) I get this:
adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How do I fix this?

download sdk from google place the apk in the tools folder shift+right click on tools open command prompt.
adb devices (make sure your phone is connected with charge only and debugging on)
adb remount
adb push ./(apk name) (space)/system/app

Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract it
Find Tools Folder in SDK Directory - copy/paste apk file in this folder.
click tools folder - press shift + Right to open command prompt
in command prompt type: adb devices then enter (this will make sure your phone is recognized and in the right state so you can continue)
in command prompt type: adb remount then enter (for lack of better terms...this prepares your phone)
in command prompt type: adb push ./(apk name) (space)/system/app then enter (this will transfer the apk to your phone.)
Ok I think that's right...I'm still learning adb and all involved. If I'm wrong, one of you more experienced guys correct me.

the phone also needs to be in charge only and go to settings>applications>debugging, debugging will have to be on.

let me guess: Is the Ac_SWM folder on your desktop?
It needs to be in the root directory of your C: drive since the batch files are looking there.
In other words, it needs to be c:\AC_SWM, not "c:\documents and settings\<yourname>\desktop\ac_swm"

Just shift + right click on the folder and open the command prompt from there see if that works.

Also look up "path variables windows (whatever)"

are you opening your command prompt in platform-tools (or wherever your fastboot.exe is)? you havent given us much background on what you did to setup and what you've done to troubleshoot...

You need to cd in cmd to the directory you extracted your sdk tools to. Or drop the fastboot and adb files from your download into c:\windows\system32. Or add your extracted directory to environment variables as per the link.
Its not difficult if you read

Alright same problem happened with me
Just go into the fastboot folder in cmd that gave you the error
Example: C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Now in cmd type cd fastboot again
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>cd fastboot
enter
so now it should say something like this
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot\Fastboot>
after that type in fastboot and whatever command you need like fastboot oem lock or whatever
That should do it

I think i might be able to help.
You do have the adb-tools and the adb-treiber folders right? And you have run the file in the adb-treiber folder, and unlocked the bootloader from the adb-tools folder, good.
Now copy all the files from the hammerhead-lrx21o folder into the adb-tools folder, and try and run the flash-all.bat file again.
Let me know if it works, it did for me.

Yeah, in the same directory on CMD type:
./fastboot devices
Everything has to start with ./fastboot and then the command.
