I am trying to push a cm7.zip file to my Atrix 4g which had a failed recovery. I have SDK installed with ADB working. ADB works fine.
I can look at installed files, List devices but when I try to push it can not find my zip file or even on fastboot it cannot find my image file.
Curiously i can push the CM7 folder after it is extracted. Yes when I open a cmd window I am in the platform-tools folder.
I follow all the guides. I seems to be an operator (me) problem?
Thanks

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
An example of what command you have tried would have been nice.
When I am pushing files to any of my devices, I have to be sure of the destination location, as it can change across devices, and even between OS'es/recovery. So unfortunately I cannot give a one-size-fits-all example (like "adb push /path/to/local/cm7.zip /sdcard/").
For specific help, please create an account (so you can post in other forums), and ask in the following thread:
> Motorola Atrix 4G > Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > CM7 Q&A
Hope this helps, and good luck!

I am pulling my hair out. I have SDK installed and whatever I was instructed to install on SDK, for the life of me I can't get the command shell to work. When I open a command shell and type adb. I get a message 'adb' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable batch or program file.
My phone is plugged in debugging checked, I have it set to mass storage, not kies. What am I doing wrong.
Sorry for the noob question. I have been reading every forum I can find, every document I can find. I am trying to learn and I like to mess with my phone and should know how to use adb command shells.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

PC or mac?
On a PC cd /Android/Tools then use adb commands
on a Mac: cd /Android/Tools then use ./adb then the command
PC. Thanks I will try that.
update
system cannot find the path specified
I am ready to delete everything and start over, maybe the path is wrong and I borked something in the download. There should be an Android for dummy's book or something, for us noobs.
where did you install the files? You had to download the SDK and unzip it.
Then you use a command window to change directories to where ever you installed it. Then run the commands.
If you don't know how to move around directories using DOS commands, you better find a tutorial on that first.
Your problems sound like you are not in the tools directory - CMD issues not Adroid - CMD is the windows shell btw.

downloaded and upzipped. It's in a folder named Android, in my c;/drive. I watched a tutorial and put it where I thought I was supposed to, then I made sure to edit the path. I can undo that. I know it's a CMD issue. Great DOS commands, this is a little over my head.
I's probably easier for me to delete everything and start over.
Is there an ADB for dummies or anything. I find them for other devices not Captivate?
if you change directories to the tools directory, do you see adb.exe listed? I am not sure which tutorial you used, but there is no reason to edit the path if you change directly into the android sdk/tools directory.
In a CMD window, change to the tools directory and do a DIR and see if the first file is adb.exe
Deleting and starting over is not going to change things at this point. Also ADB is a command that works the same regardless of which phone you have. The only things that are different is if you can mount the system partition - depends on your kernel - is it custom. Not phone dependent though.

Thanks I did this and no it isn't listed. the Android folder is, that is where I extracted all the files. Should I move from the folder. After extracting the files did I need to install anything from it?

You should have extracted everything. You should have a folder that extracted:
android-sdk-windows and in that a tools folder. In the tools folder is ADB.exe
It is one big zip file - nothing to install - just unzip where you want it.
hold shift and then right click on that tools folder(wherever you put it), select open command window here from the menu, then type adb to make sure it worked

Thank you. That did the trick. It is there and it worked. So I am guessing that when I want to open a command shell and use ADB this is how I will be able to do it. Thank you so much for all of your help everyone.
I am very new to Android and smart phones, 7 weeks now and I am trying to learn as much as I can and I try to find the information without asking too many questions.
Last night with SRE and it's sleeping death made me realize that I need to know how to use ADB and a command shell should things go wrong.
Again, thanks to everyone for the help.
Hello,
I've been trying to install adb and root my nexus s. But I'm having great difficulty to do this, I have updated USB drivers, modified path, and done everything that I found on the net. but when I open cmd and type "adb" I just get. 'adb is not a known command or batch file..."
Does anybody have some ideas to installing and getting adb to work?
Thanks a lot!
Sounds like the file isn't in the right folder, if you downloaded the sdk recently read the text file, theres additional steps you need to take before accessing adb

If its the same issue I had I believe in the tools folder theres a text file that tells you adb is now located in the platform tools folder or something to that effect

ADB file is now located in platform-tools folder, copy the adb file and the two files associated with the adb file and paste them in your tools folder. If you don't know the two associated file, just try pasting the adb file in the tools folder and you will get a prompt that will tell you which files
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
I am new to all this and completely lost. I am trying to be able to access adb shell through command prompt. I have done everything here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500196
And it still doesn't work. I'm lost. I'm not sure where it was downloaded to. I can find it in my program files under Android. But when I try to put C:\android... it doesn't actually come up. But if I go to explore and go find it, it is... so I think maybe the path isn't set up the same or something. i dunno. I dont get it lol.
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks,
Kimberly.
Hi,
So after you downloaded the zip file did you unzip / install it? as you will need to unzip the file. So for example you may have downloaded it to your download folder so double click the zip and unzip. The you should see a Android folder like "android-sdk-windows".
Once you know where it is you can then either add this to the envrioment varables or could can navigate to the adb program via the command prompt and run it there.
I.e. cd C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\
then type adb shell
There is a guide here: - http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
So have a look in your C drive (Go to My computer, C drive) then look for a folder called "android-sdk-windows"
C:\android-sdk-windows
Hi there, i'm having trouble flashing the latest community build to my OP3 from my mac. I followed the instructions below from the lifehacker website to install ADB;
"Download this zip file containing the scripts.
Extract the zip and place the Android folder on your Desktop.
Open a new Terminal window.
Enter cd Desktop/Android
Enter ./ADB-Install-Mac.sh"
Following this, when entering the ./adb sideload command I get the message "-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory"
Everything I have downloaded has been saved onto my desktop, the command I am using is "./adb sideload Oneplus.crdownload".
Does anyone know how I can get round this? I flashed an update to my nexus 7 years ago from my old windows laptop and didn't come across this problem.
Thank you in advance!
