you need to goto the folder that adb is located in first.
use my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786
if you want to be able to use it anywhere.
How do you set up ADB and what are the resources you need?
All you need is just to download ADB. For me at first i went to download SDK manager and downloaded a LOT of files and got the adb. I found an easier way though. In superoneclick root latest version i downloaded theres a folder called "ADB". I copied it to the desktop so i have easy access. To use ADB, go to command prompt and type in the location you have placed the ADB folder in, if you copied it to the desktop like me, type cd Desktop\ADB and hit enter. Then type adb shell and you're good to go. You can go search up on some commands as i dont use it very often and not familiar with all the commands. have fun using it
jus download the adb zip .its there in the devlopment thread .......and extract it in the c drive of your system...and jus change directory in the command prompt and you are gud to go
I've been following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237&nocache=1 to set up ADB for my phone and macbook, and when i try the "./adb devices" command to try and ID my device, it isn't working. Ive already downloaded the SDK package from the website, copied and pasted "adb" and "fast boot" into the root of my sdk file in the bundle. I included some snapshots in case I'm inputting the file path incorrectly. Any help would be awesome! My power button stopped working on my phone so I'm trying to set up ADB so i can just adb reboot whenever my phone shuts off or anything like that. The first screenshot is my current file path for the adb and fastboot files and the second is just my attempts at trying the "./adb devices" command.

First, it's impossible to access your phone's adbd server when it is off.
And adb needs to be in the current folder.
Use ls to see the contents of the folder you are in.
You should try ./adb first.
It's better to boot hirens boot cd.
Then use the tool in my signature.
An even better way to do this is to trust your technolust and take your phone apart and try to identify and fix the problem, or put it back to stock and send it in for warranty.

Your welcome!
I'm happy to help any time.
the . indicates the current folder(directory)
so when you type ./adb
it executes the adb file in . (the current folder)
ls is a command for listing the contents of the current folder. (Just like the dir command on windows)
Before you type ./adb you would want to make sure that adb is in . (The current folder)
Get it?

Ahhh that makes sense.. so when I'm running terminal and since the adb file is in the sdk folder, i should make the command path (cd /Users/..etc) go up to the sdk folder in this case?

adb start-server
adb kill-server
adb push file destination
adb pull file destination(>optional)
adb shell (Open a terminal on the device in your pc terminal window)
adb reboot
adb reboot-bootloader(Only useful if your device will stay at the bootloader for fastboot stuff eg: nexus and htc devices)
adb reboot recovery
examples for adb pull would be
adb pull /sdcard/dcim/
adb push doggy.jpg /sdcard/Download/doggy.jpg
There has got to be an adb guide here somewhere on Xda.
If not then go look up some common adb commands.
Have fun with adb.
(I'm anxious to see you fix your phone.)

I'm also sure that you know to use the ./ before adb with all of these commands right?
adb guide for windows
Even though its an adb guide for windows, im sure you'll be able to get just as much knowledge from it.
They also might have something on xda university for this stuff.(Which you should totally check out )

Thank you for all your help!
Hi, I updated adb and fastboot. Very familiar with both. However I can not get adb sideload to send a zip. Any ideas?
Not enough information. What happens when you try to sideload? Are the developer tools and ADB driver installed properly?
What's the error, that's what we need.
So I finally undated my PC from Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04. The good new is I have full MTP access to my G3 now. However, ADB is no longer recognized. ADB and Fastboot are located on a separate drive from the OS, so I am trying to run the same file from the same HD. Any suggestions?
You need to run adb in root. Are you doing that?

How are you trying to use ADB? It doesn't work when your phone is on fastboot mode

I did try that without success even though I successfully ran ADB without root with 12.04. Only Fastboot needed root.
For some reason the file is not recognized as an executable file. Below is a screen copy:
Code:
$ ls
adb fastboot twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img
commands.txt twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r5.img twrp-osprey-3.0.2-r1.img
$ adb
The program 'adb' can be found in the following packages:
* adb
* android-tools-adb
Try: sudo apt install <selected package>
$

I have not even got that far. See post above, "adb" is not recognized. I would rather not install the adb development package if I can avoid it.
Its fastboot flash recovery not adb flash

The commands is not my issue. I have a list of commands I have run successfully many times. My issue is with the new OS (in the same PC) not recognizing adb. When I boot to the old OS, no issue, back to the new OS, command is not recognized..
My list of commands is as follows:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot devices
sudo fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.0.2-r1.img

Re-reading your reply, I think you mis-read my code box. Next to the dollar sign my command "ls". Below is the OS response. Next $, command is "adb", and below the OS response.
I figured it out. So in Ubuntu 16.04 my command needs to be:
"./adb"
where in 12.04 "adb" worked.

This implies execution from the current directory... Are you sure you don't have multiple 'adb' executables installed? Check the command 'which adb' to see.

adb doesn't work in bootloader mode, that is when you use fastboot... I think you should review the process involved in installing recovery.
