To the OP, I don't know if this is the case for you but I changed my path on my Windows PC like the guides said to and that didnt completely work. (Maybe neede a restart). But in any case if you go to the command prompt, change directories to were you have adb and run your commands from there, it works like a charm.
For example if you unzip the the SDK in your download directory, open up the command line and type:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Downloads\<whatever-you-named-the-unzipped-folder>\tools
ADB is in the tools directory you just went to. From here you can run the adb command without having to set up the system paths. This is a quick and dirty explanantion and might not even work for you. I was running this on Windows XP when I had this problem. Same thing had to be done on my Ubuntu Linux box b/c I'm to lazy to set up paths on that one, lol.

Oops, didnt see that you allready posted this. Yea do what zephiK says and it should work.
i have not been able to get adb to work no matter what i did (i am using xp) and i have been trying since i had the htc magic last year. here is how i recently got it working.
i downloaded the one-click root zip file and unzipped it. inside there is a adb.exe file. i clicked it and then then made sure my phone was in debugging mode and connected to my pc and used the command prompt to point to where adb is in my android sdk which for me is cd\androidsdk\tools
adb devices
i hit enter after tools and enter after devices and now it works. not sure why but it does. i couldnt get my magic, my nexus one or even the galaxy to work until i did this.
i got everything done. i think? only problem is im getting $ sign instead of # sign. any ideas?
i got adb working. thanks everyone.
A thread success story without any casualties. Almost makes me weep.
Wondering if someone knew this answer. I'm not new to adb but came across one issue i can't figure out. I have my adb set up for my o.g. Evo which is using Android SDK r6 which works fine. On Evo 3D i cant get passed "adb devices". All it says is list devices attached but it doesnt list which device like its not seeing it. I tried SDK r10 and r11 and nothing. I'm trying to push fre3vo.

Do you have the drivers installed. Also, go to settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB debugging is selected.
I'm not sure selecting/deselecting USB debugging and/or Allow mock locations will make it work, but I remember having the same exact issue and I started playing with those and it worked. Maybe someone can confirm. Good luck.
It was the drivers. Who'd of thunk,lol Thank ya!

For anyone else having problems getting ADB to run after checking the above mentioned solutions if you're still having trouble.....Make sure HTC Sync is not running on your computer. In fact, unless you use it to sync your phone with your computer, which most people do not. Just uninstall it. Once you have the drivers for your phone installed you don't need to keep Sync installed.
Still no luck.....I did uninstall HTC and tried everything......even uninstalled sdk and same thing I really need help.

you are posting with forward slashes, are you on linux? if you are not, and are on windows then you need backslashes. anyways, go to your android folder, then the platform tools folder. you should see adb.exe if so, hold the shift key and click on an empty area in this folder. in the pop up there will be an option that say "open cmd prompt window here" click that, then in the cmd prompt window type "adb devices" without the quotes. does it list your device? if not, open device manager and see if there are any things shown with errors if so, right click and select update drivers. if this helped pm in accordance to your promise in the pron thread!

After you bring up your command promt....You have to change directory to the sdk.
cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (if the latest version)
or cd \android-sdk-windows\tools (if and older version)
Well to start don't have an Android folder....I don't think or c one. Also I do c the file in sdk folder but can't do anything u said to do....I'm on windows 7.and yes a promise is a promise.
i got c:\android-sdk\tools>.....after doing what u said is that good?

If you installed the sdk to the root of your hard drive (c) and you go to my computer....you should see a folder called "android-sdk-windows". If you have that, then it's installed and in the right place. You just need to change directories to it once you open your command prompt.

and was the deal up held i wonder(yes i was in that thread too)???? bump bump buummmpp
im trying to root my atrix, i have followed the steps in the post however each time i type in the flash preinstall preinstall.img the cmd says that it cant be read....im lost. is there a easier way too root instead of cmd. btw im on 2.3.4 i did nothing to my phone, im just trying to root it so i cant install roms
Make sure that you put all your root files, on your pc, on c:\root, and not in a subdirctory. Then, while you're trying to root, make sure you are in that directory when you're entering the commands.
the files inside the folder i download have to be in a folder or just in C:\
also when im in cmd the whole time it says that im C:\documents and settings\something>
also im running windows xp on a macbook if that matters let me know
make a folder in c:\
To get to root directory in command prompt: "cd c:\" (+ any other folder destination that you want to get to).
ok i flashed the preinstall and rebooted the phone, do i have do go back to fastboot? or just stay with the phone on (but the cmd says phone not found)

No, it needs to be on usb debugging to use adb.
If i remember correctly one of the steps does give you an error but you just ignore it and type the rest of the commands. Im not sure if that is the step you are on though.. Im just recalling from memory. Complete the rest of the steps in the tutorial you are using and see if it works

well I'm about out of suggestions here. My only other one is to run cmd "as administrator" or you can flash an image with root built in.
However, it should work. this is the method I used to root my atrix and countless others as well. Also you may want to make sure you have the right device drivers installed too.
whats the other method? coz i just keep getting this stupid premission denied the whole time, or how do i know if im on admin cmd?
Get rootchecker from the market and check to see if you have root privileges.

To run as admin right click cmd and choose the "run as admin" option.. If you are admin the directory you start out in is C:\
windows/system32.
i think thats the problem coz im running as "owner" but i cant get into admin becouse there is a password required that i dont know, anyone know what would be the password?
Ok this tutorial will help you root Acer Iconia One 7 (B1 - 740) (based on my experience :good and any other Acer Iconia tablets I think but before doing this, please kindly make sure that any damage on your device is not my fault. Rooting your device is too risky so, if you come up with the final decision to root it, please kindly follow the steps below:
1.) Make sure you have intalled the adb drivers for you device in your PC /Laptop
2.) Download the tools (in zip) here (http://speedy.sh/CXgXg/Tools-Used-For-Root.7z) and extract on your desired Drive in your PC:
3.) Install the application inside the folder ROOT APP (KINGO)
4.) Open the ADB folder then
5.) Double click ADB.EXE
6.) Double click Start.cmd
7.) Write down "adb devices" in the opened CMD and make sure that your device is on the list of attached devices
8.) Run the Kingo Android ROOT app
9.) Then your device should be recognized by the Kingo Android ROOT app
10.) Click root button

Try this first, on your device, select install drivers and software options, this can be found on usb debugging, mtp, then the third option is what I've said earlier, select that and you should be able to see the drivers of your phone in the My Computer then the name of your device, inside that folder would be the drivers for your device including the right adb drivers for your device? Do you follow?
oh, are you saying that tab itself has its drivers? i'll check this when i'm back home. thanks.

yes I have installed the v1.9.0 setup in device manager in laptop when I connect my tab with debugging enabled it shows in portable device my tab name,and other device mtp is shown with yellow exclamation.
mtp drivers for tab are not getting installed.
in cmd when I hit adb devices I don't get my tab details
Does it show like the pictures in my link ????

yes its shows yellow error in mtp but I am able to transfer files from laptop and tablet only thing is I can't use cmd and adb but after going thru your link I come to know that my adb was too old which is of my HTC explorer so I downloaded adb (platform.zip) from the thread given in your post and then for mtp I manually selected driver installed in my laptop I.e adb interface >Samsung adb and then I tried cmd in new platform.zip which had updated adb files for jellybean+ version and now its working fine.
Dunno how you did that. I'm a newbie.
Could you plz help me out ?
I don't have any sort of "Adb" connection in device manager (which you can see in my image), which was supposed to be there.
Can you give me a detailed explanation of what you did ????

so you too also want adb to work for you right?
I can't say exactly what made it work for me cause I have s duos 2 also n so its drivers are also installed in my lappy.
but you do one thing
1.install Intel android driver from above post v1.9.0
2.enable debugging in tablet and connect and then goto device manager where you have mtp error,right click on mtp,update drivers select from folder will appear below that must be some option select from installed drivers goto that see Intel android driver after that you will be getting multiple option android adb interface, adb composite interface select any one preferably android adb interface and install.after that uncheck debugging and again check it and see if mtp error is gone from device manager.
3.download platform.zip from your given thread link unzip it and in that folder open cmd by holding shift and right click do open cmd here and check if all is OK by typing adb devices,if its OK it will list your device.
I'll give it a try, then i'll inform you. Till then, please stick to the post ! Thank you for the info BTW.

if still yellow error is shown on device manager right click on it update driver,then browse from folder or look for installed driver some where is must be there search something related to Intel or adb and select that else forget it cause what's the use of adb for us as there is no custom ROM or other things to do.
other way is download helium app on PC and tablet and in ptp mode you can get adb working
