Hi..I have Android L installed on my N5 and want to root it..so I have been following THIS guide, to install custom recovery and then I plan on rooting it using THIS thread..
While following the first guide to install TWRP..I am getting the following error

Navigate to your platform tools folder in command prompt. The path you have specified in the screenshot is not where your recovery.img is located... so keep typing ''cd.. enter'' until you're back at C:\ in the window, then type cd android-sdk-windows and hit enter, then cd platform-tools, and it should be able to find the recovery image.

was having the same problem and this actually fixed it, thank you sir
All, please have a read of my "adb and fastboot. What is it?" thread. It can be reached via the sticky roll up link in my signature.
You shouldn't need to put recover where you put it. My thread explains how to use it properly.

I just rooted the phone (I know this because I installed a screen shot app and it works) and I'm trying to copy a private app that is free off of my phone onto my computer. But, I cannot figure it out. Could someone please give me step-by-step instructions. I would really appreciate this.
It sounds like you have completed this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581577
But read it and make sure you complete the last step to flash the recovery rom.
www.androidspin.com/downloads...roc-v1.2.3.img
He kind of botched the last command instead of:
adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
it should be:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
su
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
Once you make sure this is done, turn of your phone and then hold Home button and press end button. This should load the recovery, choose Nandroid Backup once you are done backing up you will want to flash Modaco's 1.1 rom. More information can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581846
Once this is done connect your phone to your pc, and open command prompt.
type in:
cd "the directory where the sdk is" \tools
then type:
If you are using appstosd with ext2 and fat32 partitioned sdcard:
adb pull /system/sd/app app
If you are using just fat32, no appstosd:
adb pull /data/app app
this will put all your apps into a directory named app in your \tools folder on your pc.
for private apps just replace app with app-private
alternatively, you can move apps one at a time with the command:
leave out " ".
adb pull /system/sd/app/"appname" "appname"
This will place the file directly into your tools directory. Hope this helps.
Yep, thats what I did. But I didn't flash the recovery rom. If I do that will it erase all my applicastion that I have installed? I didn't want to do that because the app I want to backup was free when I downloaded it but now it's not.
Ok, so I followed all the instructions above and go the in MoDaCo rom flashed. Then, when I tried to pull the apps off the sdcard I get a permissions denied error.

Thanks.
Now I have a new problem. It says "adb: not found". Now what?
Thanks for being so helpful everyone.
adb is a command that is run outside of the shell
for example your prompt would still be at
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/app-private (location)
you can't use adb inside of adb shell
Ah, I didn't know adb had to be run outside of the shell.
Now it says there aren't any files in app-private but I know there are two in there.
When I rooted, I used the one click method and worked like a charm. Now, I would like to learn how to flash the files via adb. I am a novice user of adb but have used it.
Right now, I am trying to flash the recovery.img file. Here is what I am getting:

I have the recovery.img file in my /platform-tools folder. When I go to devices, I see my xoom listed and I do screen shots all the time using the ddms.bat file.
Can anyone tell my why my xoom will not let me flash files? I tried this a few weeks ago with the first Tiamat SDCard enabled kernal and it said the same thing, it wouldn't let me flash the file.
Thanks!
Your not actually changing direcotry into the correct directory. so when you call the fastboot command it's looking in the current directory of "c:\Users\Marc" instead.
cd \Program Files(x86)\Android\android-skd\platformtools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovory recovory.img
Did you open the command line from the same folder you have the file you want to use? If not, open the folder you have recovery.img and the other files you will be using are in and hold the shift key on the keyboard and right click on the mouse. Then left click on "open command window here". Then run your adb commands.

Does this work using Vista? I do not see the option to "open command window here".
Duh, nevermind... I figured it all out. I was putting a \ after platform-tools so it wasn't actually opening the folder where the recovery.img file was. Told you I was a novice. But I am getting it!
This is why one-clicks are the root of evil. If you would have done it manually from the start, you would have already known what to do here . Also since you posted this in development, i'm looking forward to the release, although i'm unsure what you are releasing at this point...
Ok people... Let's be mature here and not flame other users. This is supposed to be a community, not a war zone. If something is posted in the wrong section, or there's a post that breaks forum rules, drop me a pm or report the post. Thanks!
And this belongs in q and a... Since this is a question. Thread moved.
Please follow forum rules and post in the correct section.
damn, I must have missed some good flaming post! Lol
dont feel too bad
hehe I was doing the same thing for a 1/2 hour before I realized that the recovery.img wasn't even in the same folder...got that sorted out tho..
Right, I'm sure there is similar here, but I had loads of difficulty finding it, so I thought I'd create my own version.
I'm a complete noob at this, so I'll make it easier on you, and put it as plainly as possible. EVERY step is listed as if you're in the same [or similar] situation.
I only recently tried to get CM10 onto my phone, and on first try, I soft-bricked it. I unlocked the Bootloader, Rooted, Installed TWRP and a version of CWM when it didn't work, and CM10 seemed to work fine, but upon booting for the first time, and leaving it for about 15 minutes, I realised something went wrong. Tried going back to the most recent RUU [the EU OTA version], and that didn't work [after relocking the bootloader, yes]. Started freaking out a small bit, as it stopped letting me mount the storage in Recovery, even though ADB could still see the phone.
Asked a friend to help, and we found this over on the One X sub-forum.
BEING AWARE THIS IS RELATIVE TO hasoon2000's All-In-One Toolkit
[nice work btw! Might wanna look into this btw - it may be a small bug with your software. No offense ]
Turned out it was the boot.img that installed incorrectly, so making sure the .zip MD5 is correct is first step.
If that's not the issue, the 2nd step is to just open the .zip and take the boot.img out of the root of the container, and pushing that to the phone using ADB [the one that come's with the AIO is perfect]. If you're not sure how to get into ADB, and get it to stay open, here's what you do:
1. Copy the directory of "adb.exe" within your AIO's "data" folder [for example, mine is D:\Administrator.Sheol\HTC\All-In-One\Data\]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Open Command Prompt [in Vista onwards, type "cmd" into the Start menu Search Bar, in XP, open the "run" dialog in type cmd. Alternatively, find it in Start > Accessories, in all recent versions of Windows]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Type the following into Command Prompt:
cd D:\Administrator.Sheol\HTC\All-In-One\Data\

Remembering your directory WILL be different, so adjust accordingly!

4. It'll list all ADB's command's. Don't worry, it's meant to. If you want to, skim through them to familiarise yourself with it. At this point you may want to maximise the window, to fill the screen height [makes every thing much easier]

Doing exactly this, worked a charm, and now I have a flawless CM10 HTC One S! After the GApps install of course [which can be done in your Recovery after downloading it/pushing it to your phone, by using the "Install from .zip" option]
Bit confused how to unlock the bootloader on my moto G..
I am following this guide: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
But I'm stuck on the part "
On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)
I'm currently installing the following in the screenshot I've taken, but I don't know where the SDK tools are installing to? there is no folder in program files etc...
Many thanks in advance..

Rightclick on this computer and choose properties, then select advanced settings then surroundings variabels, then in system variables choose path (starts with C and choose modifty and add \android-sdk\platform-tools ( this is where the sdk is located on my pc) at the end of the string.
Also copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll and AdbWinApi.dll (both are in the platform-tools folder) to the windows\system32\ folder.
ps: you only need the top 2 items from the android sdk manager and the Google Drivers.
Thanks but I don't quite understand? I'm on Windows 8.1..
Also AdbWinUsbApi.dll is not even located on my PC ? :-/

Me too Go to system variables and look for path, click edit and add the location of your android-sdk at the end of the string.
Also AdbWinUsbApi.dll is not even located on my PC ? I really am lost I must be losing brain cells.

Both dll`s are in the \android-sdk\platform-tools\ folder, copy them to C:\windows\system32\.
Here is a full guide http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...OWoMssTikMpokJ6TtwEND5A&bvm=bv.59026428,d.d2k for installing adb
That folder isn't anywhere on my PC though that's the problem?!
never mind I've done it, I've pasted the key into the motorola site "3A45890085034220#5441383833304358553100585431303332000000#64ED856A41ADE4D962B9AF1039E9690B98543710#6B94ED010F0000000000000000000000"
And clicked "can my device be unlocked?" and it doesn't do anything, then I request unlock key at the bottom of the page and it just goes to a white blank page? :/
Done it finally! phew lol
