Help with ADB

Got a new computer and Im having trouble getting my ADb setup. When I try to run adb devices I get
adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have adb setup on C, JDK is installed. Downloaded drives from htc sync, but did not install htc sync. Under Device Manager, the phone is listed as
-Android USB Devices
-My HTC. the monitor has a lilttle yellow triangle with an !. I tried to update the drives, but it says I have the most recent installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edit.....need to use the platform-tools folder, not tools.

I have tried to run ADB on my Inc, Nook Color and now the TBolt.
I just cant get it to work.
It would be easy to just say I am a dope, but I have had a highly successful run with the Inc. I have flashed/installed/performed/restored every worthwhile mod available for the INC and Nook with no trouble. I just cant get ADB to run.
ive just helped someone with this.
they HTC Sync software has the ADB drivers
download
install
then cancel HTC sync instalation

It sounds to me like your problem is that the adb executable is not in your path and you're not trying to run it from within the directory it is installed in, as indicated by your saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".
In your terminal window, try using the cd command to switch to whatever folder the adb.exe file is in, and then try running the command. You don't even need the phone hooked up to test at first...just type adb devices or something to see if the app runs or not. On my Mac, if I just type adb at the command line, adb responds with a list of all available commands.
Do a dir command (Win) or ls (Mac/Linux) to confirm the file is in the same directory you are.

Yea, the error is the one you get when you use a windows command thats not in the path. So do this, or add it to your path environment variable
Thanks to all who answered. That is why this community is the best. The older version of adb just had tools folder, while the new version has platform tools that needs to be used. Again thanks.

I have HTC sync installed, adb installed, added system variables and cannot get adb to recongize my device in command prompt.

[Solved] n00b needs help with adb and Ubuntu

Hi all,
I searched quite a lot, but seems to me not nearly enough. I've been using adb on my Windows 7 machine for a while now, but would like to have adb at work on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine where I am going to start some boring development.
I have installed the sdk and eclipse and and and (if it is important WHAT I installed more than this, I will elaborate)
lsusb returns
Code:
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04e8:689e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
so I have set my
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
to reflect like this:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",ATTRS{idProduct}=="689e",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666
I'm kinda hoping this is wrong and there is an easy fix that I can laugh about.
When I have the emulator running and my phone plugged in
Code:
$sudo adb devices
returns a blank line and something about an emulator, only emulator running yields no blank line and only phone plugged in yields a nice and quiet blank line.
I had this on Windows as well when I struggled with drivers, but the CD sorted it out. I read that the necessary drivers comes with the SDK, but I might be wrong.
I have tried different tutorials and different values for the idProduct and idVendor as some tutorials claim they should be kept constant and not vary per phone... I restarted adb each time I made a change with
Code:
$sudo adb kill-server; sudo adb start-server; sudo adb devices
I'm currently running FirstUA v1.2 if that changes anything.
If you need more info, don't hesitate to ask, I know it's easier to solve problems with the right info (coming from an IT helpdesk).

The SDK Drivers are not for Galaxy Ace , Google for the drivers , they should be easy to find
Sent from my Ultma Weapon using XDA App
It seems that my problem begins with our Proxy server.... As the SDK manager and I had a quarrel about authentication, I downloaded some of the packages directly and forced the manger to use them instead of those on Google. With this, I accidentally downloaded an outdated adb, which had problems specifically with the Galaxy line of phones.... Downloading the correct package now, will see if it works better
Maybe I must just stop before I think of continuing I installed the newer r06 version, and my device is picked up, but now adb shell gives me this:
Code:
:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
S58300c017faf device
:~$ adb shell
sh: applet not found
Any ideas where to look for the applet? Maybe I must continue tomorrow, new day new ideas.
Do you have Debugging turned on? And is the device rooted with Busybox? I assume yes since you're running a custom ROM but double checking.
If you're having trouble, I'd either: a) run a VM with XP SP3; b) head to the Android Q&A board here.
mmm, I never though of looking at that, since I figured they do say busybox is installed on this ROM, but thanx for nudging me into that direction, I found this post from ketut.kumajaya so I'm looking into that. Had some issues with not abling to get rw access, but my only problem there was a spelling error in the terminal.
I still get the error with the sh: applet not found, even after I tried the advice on that link. I tried installing all 3 versions shipped with BusyBox Installer on all 3 locations, still nothing. Just had an idea I'll try, if you invoke sh in linux you get a new shell, when I invoke sh I get the applet not found error. Maybe I should upgrade my sh or something. Worth a try
I am running a VM for the VB programming I do at work, but that doesn't have USB support (to much trouble to reinstall Virtual Box now just for USB support). Last night I tested on Windows 7 (first time since I started using this ROM) and it failed with the same error. I'm sure it's the sh that's broken or something. Will test on my wife's phone tonight (running the same ROM).
Thanx for your ideas so far. That's what I love about an online community, even if you don't exactly know what's wrong, people sling ideas around that nudge you in the right direction. One error message at a time
Solved thanx to Ketut
Thanx for all your help guys.

Kindle HDX 7''. Pushing system update files - Android ADB Interface - Bootloop -

Hi guys,
EDIT: See the last posts - I have figured this out, and tried to include helpful information, if you are having this problem too.
Firstly please accept my apologies if this has been answered already. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, and cant find specific instructions, or a guide that I can follow with any success.
I stupidly deleted system files from my Kindle, but now I have purchased a fastboot cable, and I'am able to get it into fastboot mode.
I have correctly installed the ADB Drivers, and the device is now recognized by my Windows 7 Device Manager. It shows 'Android ADB Interface'.
I would guess that I need to flash the entire Kindle, but I'm unsure of how to do this, as I cannot seem to access the device at all. It currently loops when booting, giving me no time to see it as external storage via My Computer.
Please would someone more versed in this, guide me specifically through how to get myself back up and running again? I would be forever greatful.
I have SDK and JDK installed, but do not have the knowledge I need to learn how to use them properly.
Thanks so much in advance.

what is the fastboot cable? where can I get it? can a normal usb cable do the job?

You definitely need the fastboot cable to push files through the ADB Interface dude. You can buy one for dirt cheap on EBay. Then all you do is simply plug it into your PC and Kindle, and it should put the Kindle straight into Fastboot mode.
Then you need to install the ADB Drivers for the Kindle.
From there, I'm stuck I'm afraid.

OK,I think I'm gonna get one and give it a try. the only way to fix this brick is in the ADB Interface I'm sure. though I also don't know How to do.
I've finally figured out how to get ADB up and running, and how to start command prompt. I found this link helpful:
developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
If anyone needs help pushing files through ADB, I recommend that link!
Do the following to detect your Kindle Fire tablet through ADB:
Open a command prompt window.
Change directory to your Android SDK platform-tools directory. - To do this, find out where SDK is installed on your PC. Copy the path.
Type cd in command prompt, then space, then paste the directory path. EG, C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools
Hit enter, and the command line will change to read C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools.
Run the following commands and confirm that the serial number for your Kindle Fire tablet appears in the list of devices.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Then follow the rest of the guide. I think all you need to to do, is push a system update through, by putting the file in the tools folder of SDK. This should make the device update, and put back any critical system files that you had previously deleted.
Now I'm just having issues with it finding the device, so I'm going to charge the Kindle for a few hours, and then try it again.

In command prompt, there is an ADB push command, so I think all you do is type that, then the path of the file.
To list all the commands you can use, change command prompt to your platform-tools folder within SDK, type ADB in command prompt, and it will give you all the options.
You'll need to unzip the update file first I think.

bootlooped, adb runs some commands

Working with the HDX 8.9.
I think I have deleted some of the system files also. I was reloading a safestrap backup and rebooted but the backup had failed to complete. I don't know what may be missing from the system files and would like to push the system files onto the device.
Right now I get a gray kindlefire screen for about 90 seconds, during which I have adb access, then it goes to the color kindlefire screen and asks if I want to Restore to Factory Defaults or reboot. I finally subjected it to the Restore to Factory Defaults, but that just wiped the cache and data partitions, I don't see where it did anything to the system files. It did not change my adb access.
In adb I can push files to some locations but others say: failed to copy ....: Read-only file system.
I cannot run shell commands
# adb shell
soinfo_link_image(linker.cpp:1617): could not load library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" needed by "/system/bin/sh"; caused by load_library(linker.cpp:745): library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" not foundCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I was working in Windows 8.1 but have switched to Suse Linux but the results are the same so far.
I have the stock system files but I am not sure how to push them to the device, if it can be done, while the device is trying to reboot.
fastboot
I can put the HDX in Fastboot mode with the adb command. But when I try to pass commands to the HDX I get:
< waiting for device >
and I have to Ctrl-c to stop the process.
Do the fastboot commands only work if you have a fastboot cable???

ADB Not working

Hello, I hope someone can help.
I have downloaded ADB for windows but cannot for the life of me get it to work. When I connect my phone (Samsung s6) and type ADB DEVICES, I get an error, cannot connect to daemon.
I have searched for solutions but none work. I have tried, kill-server, start server, I have tried re-installing ADB, the latest version and version 1.4.3, which I found on this site , as it had an installer. I have enabled USB De-bugging on the phone etc. I disabled my AV and firewall and also allowed ADB through windows defender, just in case it was that, as someone said that worked for them. None of the above worked for me...
I did get to a point where my phone asked me to allow debugging, I say yes but then again it says Daemon did not ACK.
I am so frustrated with this that I think, I am going to start a campaign to destroy Google. The world doesn't need them.
I know this issue has been posted on before but forgive me, nothing I have found so far works, on this site or any other.
I signed up to this site in the hope that there is someone who can help.... Cheers in advance..
Steve..
The ADB Daemon ( adbd ) is the counterpart on Android device of ADB Server ( adb.exe ) on Windows computer. Their versions must match in order ADB gets working.
Run this command sequence
Code:
taskkill /F /IM adb.exe
adb devices
