ADB: Not Found

Sorry for asking a really silly question here, but I've just updated to CM 4.2.5 and when i try to ADB through Terminal Emulator i get "ADB: Not Found"
I've searched and can't find a solution.
Anyone?

ADB is not something you run on your phone. It is something you run on your computer with your phone attached to it.

Sorry, I didn't mention that i was using my PC, seems that in my efforts to save space on my hard drive, i moved the SDK to my D: drive.

Using the RUU Issues

Hero had a hardware fault w/ the SD slot(good thing too! I dropped it last week and had a bit of rub on the top left that was bothering the hell out of me)
Was going to go get it replaced tonight, but for some damn reason the RUU won't work.
I have the latest RUU(1.56?)
Tried with phone w/ and without USB debugging
Went into fastboot mode(which made W7 install drivers for Android 1.0?) yet the RUU still won't recognize the phone.
I'm not computer illiterate, I'm just having problems with this damn RUU.
Halp?

What's the error you're getting?

The RUU basically says like
"Finding your Android Device" for about 30 seconds then says it cannot find it.

error 170...
ahh we meet again
i've helped a few people through this but i don't want to spoil the fun..
read this

I've read this before, I got it from geekfor.me
My windows 7 has the real administrator account enabled, running as administrator won't do anything.

ok.
basically my next question is do you want my help or not?
i know how to make it work for you, at least three other people have gotten it to run by following my directions.

Why wouldn't I want help?

ok try this.
type "adb devices"
if that sees your phone type reboot into fastboot then type "fastboot devices"
if that sees your phone then run the ruu

adb devices sees it.
boot into fastboot, fastboot devices sees it.
run the RUU, error 170 still >_<

For some of the people running into problems with Windows 7 you may want to try:
1. Right-click on the executable file "ARUWizard.exe" and then go to "properties"
2. I believe there is a tab called "Compatibility" or something, click on it.
3. there should be a place for you to click next to a "run this program in compatibility mode" put a check there
4. below that there should be a drop down box, try choosing "Windows XP SP3" (or something similar to that)
5. near the bottom should be a place to check "run as administrator" check that.
6. click "ok" and then try running the program again.
I'm in front of a windows xp computer right now, not windows 7, so excuse me if i don't remember the options correctly, but I should be pretty close.
I also don't even know if this will work, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Possible resolutions would be:
1) Putting it in to fast boot and trying it again. Check your error log if it fails and seeing if it identified your phone this time.
2) Open a command prompt and "cd" to the folder where your \sdk\tools\ folder and type in "adb devices" and hit enter and see if it sees your phone. If not then that's your problem. If it DOES see your phone then enter the following command
3) adb shell reboot oem-78 -- that will reboot your phone in to RUU-ready fastboot. If you had the RUU still open then close it. Then open it and try running again.

Just had a thought.. after updating my HTC Sync software the adb included with my RUU might be out of date. I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe from C:\AndroidSDK\Tools and overwrote the files in the RUU folder. Then I ran it without a hitch.. weird, eh?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Tried the first two things, neither helped
I figured out part of the problem though. I had to dig up some 64 bit drivers.
I got the RUU to recognize my phone and it sends it to the bootloader and gets stuck on Waiting for bootloader then errors 170 out.
I'll try copying the files over now.

Replacing those 3 files did the trick!
Thanks

no problem, when i did it i tried all of those steps at once, so i wasn't sure which one fixed it for me. so now (in theory) it should work for you on that machine every time.

wont run and get "ARUGlobal.dll can not be found" even tho im looking right at it....

Can't connect to adb shell after Damagecontrol 2.1 ROM update

I have my 2.1 DamageControl ROM running fine (thx damage!). I'm just trying to connect to adb. I'm on win7, 64bit.
I used to connect fine when I was on fresh 1.1.
I thought it was b/c I had an outdated sdk, which I did. I upgraded from v3 to v5, and made sure I downloaded all the latest, including the latest usb driver.
I also checked to make sure I have HTC sync 2.08.
but I just keep getting this.
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
error: device not found

anyone else getting this issue, or know the solution?

Try this. It worked for me with Windows 7.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how...droid-devices/
I started at Step II. Reinstall Drivers since I already had the SDK.

Link no worky.
I had this same problem. Go into your device manager and reinstall your ADB driver. If you're in the same situation I was in, it'll have a "!" on the ADB item in your list. Right click ADB, update driver, pick from a list of available drivers... or something like that. In the list it gives you, you should see something along the lines of "Android ADB Interface." Pick that... it may give you some kind of warning but install it anyway and you're done.

Try this,
adb kill-server
abd start-server

Ah hah.. thanks for the heads up. Here's the correct link. I also fixed my original post.

FYI, this one didn't work.

@crunchy - hm, I don't see any adb driver reference

I also went to device mgr in win7, and yeah, it has the !, but when I tried to update, it still failed. I even tried pointing to the usb driver folder in my android sdk, but it didn't like it. maybe something specific to win7 64bit?
Maybe I need to install the drivers manually? But what driver should I look for, for this Damagecontrol 2.1 ROM Sprint Hero now?

Did you make sure to enable debugging?

I don't have a link handy, but just go to the HTC support site for the Eris and download the latest HTC sync. It will fix your drivers, no fuss and straight forward.

Yes, tried with it off, and on. I also tried reinstalling HTC sync 2.08.

I didn't tell you to reinstall sync 2.0.8
Go here http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/DROID_ERIS_Verizon/HTCSync2.0.25.zip
And install THAT version of sync it has the proper drivers.
Think I told you to go to the Eris page by accident? Think again. Do it, fix your problem and let's all move on.
Sorry for being so blunt, just frustrated you that you wrote off my original suggestion, responding that you already tried reinstalling the same version of sync that wasn't working in the first place. If you paid attention to my first tip this would have already been solved.

Try your own link. It doesn't have a link to the Eris page.
EDIT: the joys of technology. When I used google chrome, the download link didn't work - when I used firefox, it did.
FYI, HTC sync 2.0.25 for the Eris didn't work.

Must be a problem with the htc site, the link I provided was a direct link. I'll see if I can find another
Edit: now you do have some kind of weirdness going on. If that didn't work.
First make sure you have done the following... reboot pc and phone. Usb debugging enabled. Then connect phone attempt and shell and copy error here.
Also a question, did you install sync 2.0.8 prior to installing the 2.0.25version ?
A few other possible steps you could try.
Go to your start menu and type cmd one you see the cmd icon pop up in the menu rightclick and run as administrator. Then,
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb shell
If you still get device not found try: adb devices and paste the output here.

Yes, I had 2.0.8 installed, but i uninstalled first before installing the 2.0.25. but I haven't tried the pc reboot, nor the kill server yet, I'll give those a try. thx!

Connecting Through ADB using android sdk r06 for XP

First this will be straight to the point this is for windows xp users only
download sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html...then you will find this
windows android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
size 23293160 bytes
check sum 7c7fcec3c6b5c7c3df6ae654b27effb5
you will need a unzip program obviously , unzip the file "android-sdk-windows"
to the desktop or your c:\drive ,
so it should look like this in your address bar..
C:\android-sdk-windows
if you are using this way or if you use desktop its up to you, then after that click Start on your pc,
move your mouse up to My Computer and right click, you should see Properties click on it...
now you should see a tab that says "System Properties"....with 7 tabs click on "Advanced"...
then at the very bottom you should see a tab that says .."Environment Variables"...click on that
..now at the very bottom theres a window "System variables" ...scroll down till you see the line
"Path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared "
is what mines says yours might be different but it doesn't matter click on it and then click "Edit"...
"Edit System Variables" tab pops up if its highlighted great push delete if not delete it then put...
1) C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
...if thats where you stored it i know i added the tools folder to it do worry about it ...
or
...if you stored it on your desktop ,you need to go to that folder ,
then go to the tools folder, and then look in the address bar you should see something like
2) C:\Documents and Settings\****\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools
now you either have 1) or 2) now with out the "1) or 2) " lol
...copy and paste
those address in the "Edit System Variables" tab and click Ok
now you still need drivers.., people always say this will get you connected,
but it doesn't so here you go,
they are attach at the bottom just do what i did extract to that android-sdk-windows folder ,
and then when you connect and it ask for driver just point the wizard there
..i am on here daily so i am around to help
also to run a check to you have adb done correctly go Start click Run type in cmd,
and when command prompt opens , or just open command prompt
with your device connected type....
adb devices you should see some text saying
list of devices attached
000000000000 device
your connected

I'm totally new in this android thing, and dont have time to investigate some issues... I installed froyo on my HD2, done what you said in first post (I didnt have mentoined path in system variables, so I just added new one, path of "tools" folder...)... Now, my phone recognize that my device is android, but I can't acces internet on phone, using USB cable. To be clear, I whant to use pc (LAN) connection on HD2... I googled everywhere, but its probably not possible. Right?? If not possible, how can I install apps, without mobile currier internet also?? I dont have file explorer app, so I cant navigate throu my sd card. Or I dont know how?? So, give mi few tips how to start, and be aware of my current situation. No spare time, PC internet connection avaible, connected HD2 to pc via USB cable, but no expirience. Just one tip. Mybe how to put file explorer on device
Thanks a lot, even if you just read this post, its enough

Phones not showing up in ADB devices

so i'm trying to root my phone, and connected into fastmode...usb debugging is turned on.... but when i
try to run the adb device command ,my 996 is isn't showing up as devices connected in windows or mac....any suggestions?

Try changing the USB connection type?
For some reason, I had to select the option to connect my device for transferring photos instead of the usual file transfer for it to show up. Is there a particular guide you are using?
Perhaps someone with more knowledge could shed more light on the matter.

If you are in fastboot mode it wont show up in adb devices. it will show up in fastboot devices
