[Q] Not able to install the SDK packages, coz SDK blinks for a sec and then closes.

So, I am sorry, if this is a stupid question, I am novice here. I am trying to run SDK manager on windows 7, 32-bit os. It's already installed. Whenever I try running SDK manager, It flashes for a sec and disappears. When I tried executing android.bat from tools, what I got was :
C:\Program Files\Android\tools>android
[INFO] Starting Android SDK and AVD Manager
'xcopy' is not recognized as an internal or external comman
operable program or batch file.
No command line parameters provided, launching UI.
See 'android --help' for operations from the command line.

Currently Using : HTC Desire Z.
And yes, I am having eclipse 3.2 already installed on my system. PLzz help................................., somebody......................, anybody.

General tip
If you double click some techie program on Windows and see it just appear and disappear like that, it usually means that this program is meant to be run in a command line window.
So go to All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and open that
Then go to wherever that program is installed and run it from there.
Oh, and note that Android development needs the JDK, not the JRE version of Java, The JDK contains all the extra parts needed for Java software development in general, including key parts needed by the Android SDK.
While the JRE can be downloaded from www java com , the JDK is only available from java.sun.com .
P.S.
Sorry for not making proper links, but I have not made enough posts to allow them yet.

[Q] eclipse problems

Not sure if this is the right spot for this post. I am trying to open ecplise for the first time and i am getting an error "SDK Platform Tools component is missing! Please use the SDK Manager ti install it.
I have sdk installed but don't understand how to get the sdk platform tools installed nor do i know where to place them after they are installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably because the platform tools downloaded were corrupt or invalid. Its not a serious issue and can be amended quite easily. Just follow the steps below
Open the folder where you have the sdk
Open sdk manager
Wait for the packages to load
Select platform tools
Select Install 1 package
Reopen eclipse
Voila! All done

[Q] Unbricking LG P500 with Android SDK HELP!!!

Hello! Yesterday I was putting a custom recovery on my LG p500, and as I am a noob in phones and everything else I fcked up something, and now i have the ''fastboot mode started'' screen. Now, on this http://www.androidpure.com/unbrick-lg-p500-stuck-at-fastboot-mode-due-to-bad-recovery-flash/ page, i have downloaded all the things listed there.
Now, my computer recognizes the phone, it doesn't open the ''removable disk F'' as it has always, but it says it is recognized.
WHen i downloaded Android SDK, on the page they say I should have a directory on disk C, but I DONT KNOW HOW TO INSTALL ANDROID SDK!! When i click on SDK manager it just opens a window similiar to cmd prompt, and then the window close after some seconds.. Please help me!!
Also, on that link there is the cmd program open and he says what to write to unbrick it, but I don't understand anything about it!! Please someone help me I am mad!!!

Instead of messing with the entire Android SDK, which isn't needed BTW, why not use Android Flash Recovery to install another recovery? Link for Android Flash Recovery ( AFR ) is in my signature. It's just a simple UI for the fastboot executable from the Android SDK. No command windows to deal with and nothing to type. Point and click...
As per you problem with the SDK, Android can't find your Java installation. Did you install Java 6 or 7 SDK as well?

[TOOL] gibadb: Easily install adb and fastboot with one command (cross-platform!)

Hey everybody,
I got tired of having to manually install the Android SDK on every platform, so I built this tool.
You can think of it as a cross-platform spiritual successor to Minimal ADB and Fastboot that's always up-to-date.
It installs the base Android SDK along with the latest platform tools directly from Google's servers with one command.
As it installs the SDK, the platform tools can be updated at any time with sdkmanager.

What's the benefit to just downloading platform-tools from google?

@aIecxs
This tool also downloads a minimal version of the Android SDK, which can be used to update the platform tools later on.
It also extracts them for you, tells you what to add to your path, and, on Windows, opens up the path settings.

Android drivers for windows

I have an rca tablet I can not get any drivers to work to get to replace/update the firmware and I was wanting to ask if anyone has found anything that works.

Thank You

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and I am trying to find drivers to access an rca rct6703w13
I have tried every driver I can find and nothing seems to work does anyone know something that will work?
I would be very grateful if anyone could help?
Thank You

Oh boy, I still remember this pain trying to find and use such drivers on Windoze:
- try another port
- try another cable
- try this driver or that one
- try doing a rain dance with 3 days old undies on your head, and turn only clock wise, unless it's full moon, then turn counter clockwise but stop briefly after ever two and a half turns
Maybe, as workaround, you could boot from a linux CD and try your approach from there.
Whenever I flash from my debian, it works: If "fastboot devices" still doesn't show anything then usually I have forgotten to plugin the cable

By using my "Yet Another Universal ADB Driver" Package (see the link in my signature) one can remove all the old adb drivers if that is the issue, but this case seems to be more interesting...
On win10 it seems that the adb is embedded to the winusb driver the same or similar way (registry wise) that my package is using. Now that I have tested, the behavior is similar with my devices. When using file transfer connection the adb is not recognized. With others, charging, photo, midi the abd works fine. To make adb work with file transfer one have to install the correct driver. In this case google's general driver could be okay, one match for vendor and product ids in it ...
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/usb_driver_r13-windows.zip
What I tested using virtual win7 64bit, it seems to behave the same way... which is a bit weird as I've tested it with my driver package. Worked okay then I think. The Android device used has changed since though.. It worked on win10 back then too.. the change has to have happened later.. or I didn't use file transfer..
@steadfasterX 's maid or salt or whatever it's called nowadays might be usable in this case. It's a Linux having SP flash tool etc. available..
edit: tested and it turned out that the updated phone is the problem... using another phone my driver package worked as expected..

1. Don't confuse USB-driver and ADB-driver: the USB-driver since ever is by default part of any OS, so also of Windows OS. The ADB-driver is an extra protocol what allows you to communicate with a phone's Android ecosystem via an USB-connection.
2. Latest generic ADB-driver ( correct: ADB client ) got released August 2022 and is officially versioned 33.0.3.
3. AFAIK a 64-bit version of ADB-driver doesn't exist.
With regards to install this ADB-driver on a Windows 7,8.1,10,11 PC:
It's NO USB-driver installer - as introduced above by @CXZa - needed what unnecessarily bloats the Windows registry with crap.
You
1. simply create on any mounted drive of Windows PC a folder named "ADB",
2. extract there to the 3 files what are in the attached ZIP file,
3. add path of created folder "ADB" to Windows environment variable PATH, thus ADB-driver is systemwide accessible -
