Guide Install Adb Windows 8 Dev-Preview64bit - HTC EVO 3D

How to install adb windows 8
From what I've read a few members were having troubles installing adb on Windows 8 dev Preview-64bit
I have it installed and running and thought I'd share how I did it.
I take no responsibility if you screw up your phone. "IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS GUIDE IS FOR OR HOW TO USE IT PLEASE DON'T".
Ive linked a zip file containg the adb drivers,the java.exe,the android-sdk and the easytether.exe
I take no credit whatsoever for the htc/android driver I downloaded them from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
Thanks to xda member "1wayjonny" please hit the thread up and give thanks to him for all his hard work.
There are alot of other methods to get adb installed on windows8 this is just how I did it.
Laie1472 link
http://db.tt/z5avjkJS
Here we go
Download the zip attatched to the link.
#1-Extract the "laie1472.zip" to your desktop or folder of choice.
#2-Extract the "universal zip" into the same folder.
Now install the jdk-6u22-windows-i586.exe if your running an intel i5 if not then download the correct java version from here-
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
and let it run that's all for the java.
Second extract the android-sdk_r07-windows.zip to your c:\ drive.
Meaning right click on the android sdk and choose extract.
A window will appear. In the address bar of that window is were the files will currently be extracted to. Please delete everything in the address bar except the c:\ Then click "ok" and close the window.
Then go to your start menu and click on it. From there go to computer and click on it. Then you will see an icon that says (c That's your hard drive were you extracted the android sdk. Click/Double click on this icon. From there you should see a folder named Android-sdk something something, Right click on this folder and rename it to "AndroidSDK" without the quotes.
Please rename the folder exactly as I wrote it capitol letters and all.
Next make sure that you have usb debuggin enabled on your phone. If you can't find this, "PLEASE STOP UNTIL YOU DO"
Now run the easytether.exe "free app included in the zip" file and when it opens up it will give you an option of Easy tether core or Android USB drivers. Please choose the Android USB drivers. But "STOP" and click the little arrow next to ANDROID USB DRIVERS. A menu will appear. When it does please choose ENTIRE FEATURE WILL BE INSTALLED ON C:\ DRIVE. Check that option as well. Click install and let it finish.
Now please REBOOT your Laptop/Desktop.
When your pc/laptop is up and running, plug your phone into your pc while powered on and choose "charge Mode only".
Then select the windows key on the keyboard
Then select "control Panel"
Then select "more settings"
Then select "device Manger"
Once your there look for the ""ADB DRIVER" or while in device manger unplug your phone from your pc and then plug it back in and choose "charge only" and watch for the device driver that shows up.
Then "right click" and choose "update driver"
Then select
"browse MY Computer for driver software"
Then select
"let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Then a window will appear.
Then select
"Next" from the top of the window.
Then select
"Have DISK"
Now when that window opens select "browse"
Then another window will appear.
Now at the top of the window you will see an "address bar" with a "down arrow next to it".
Select the "down arrow" and then a drop down list will appear.
From here browse to your desktop or where ever you extracted the laie1472.zip to and find the universal folder.
Then select the driver
"android_winusb.inf" and select "open".
Another window will appear and then select "OK"
Windows will prompt you to install the driver, also it will warn you that the driver is not signed but press install anyway.
When that is done close out all windows and unplug your phone.
Now restart your laptop/pc. You can do this by holding the window key and press the letter "R"
Now type "cmd" and press enter.
Now a command window will appear, in that window type this or copy and paste it
shutdown /s
Then press enter. Another window will appear saying that windows will shutdown in 60 seconds press ok.
Then type
exit
Then press enter and wait.
When your pc/laptop is back up and running plug your phone into your laptop/pc and choose charge only.
Then hold the window key and press the letter "R"
Now type "cmd" amd press enter.
When that command window appears. Type this command or copy and paste it.
cd\
then hit enter
Now type cd\AndroidSDK\tools\
Then hit enter
Now type
adb devices
You "should" see a bunch of numbers
Those numbers. Represent your phone.
Now type
adb shell
Then hit enter on your keyboard.
You should see the # sign. That means you have adb installed. To test it just type reboot recovery and it should reboot your phone into your current recovery. From there you got it.

If you need help installing adb on windows 7-32,64bit,Vista-32,64bit or Xp-32,64bit see my thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858118
Also the sdk I included is the older version, I haven't tried with the latest one. If you do please post if your successful to benefit the community. Also the path to the tools folder will change with the latest sdk, the command should be
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
This is not for development only for adb. You have to download the development platforms via adb tools.exe to do development.
Hope this helps.

i got abd installed although easy tether didnt work, you should add to your guide to disable driver signature enforcement then it installs with out issue and without easy tether

Well you never posted what error you received so I'm taking it as user error or its your setup. I've used that easytether exe more than enough times to know it works. I've used it on all of my 64bit os's including Vista, and 7-64bit. Also I've had that exact same exe posted on my other guide for adb on 7 and I've never had anyone post that the drivers wouldn't install. Also I've received numerous of pm's saying thanks for the guide and no one but you have posted that the easytether drivers didn't install. So if you want to figure out why they wouldn't install I'm cool with that pm me or post here but I won't change the guide because imo its one of easiest methods of installing adb and it works if done correctly.

rooted via ubuntu and have recovery
i tried doing stuff in windows, but it wont install the drivers properly.
SO I NEED HELP!
what do i do to get this to work?
i want to be able to install 3rd party apps and get rid of att bloatware.
i have no idea where to start.
HELP!!!!!!!!!
thanx
ubuntu or windows...
download the Android SDK for Windows
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
install and download ONLY THE USB DRIVERS
open cmd window, connect usb cable, navigate to the <folder>\tools where you installed, ie. c:\android\tools
paste the following into a small batch file, call it anything you want dot bat,
ie. c:\android\tools\yourname.bat
---cut here--
cd\android\tools
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
pause 1
adb reboot
-- cut here--
ok i'll try right now
still must be missing something
what setting is my phone on when i plug it in? recovery? or just regular charge only or hard disk mode?
how do i get the usb drivers to work? when i try to install them is says "windows was unable to install your adb". is there something else i need on my pc?
when i run that .bat file it says a bunch of things, but basically says device not found.
please start from step #0.
there is no one place that has every single step we need to do.
it makes it next to impossible to get this to work.

I'm not sure I've ever seen this error come up before by anyone. Saying this is impossible isn't really true since several people have gotten it working, and the information is on these forums. The best thing to do would be to go to the IRC channel and get stepped through it. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
I'm not quite sure what's up with your ADB install, but you should download HTC Sync from the HTC site, because it includes a driver install. http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/. Then go through the process in the post above. Your phone should be in the "Charge Only" mode when connected to the computer.

i know it's not impossible, it's just that usually when the people explaining the steps to accomplish this leave out steps that they think is common knowledge/sense, but is not to total noobs.
it would be nice to have a definitive step-by-step guide:
step 1 - root your phone (this was actually really easy with the ubuntu cd)
step 2 - go back to windows and download/install these specific programs . . . (i did not know i needed htc sync, the steps i saw said just to use the sdk and the usb drivers in there to set up my phone)
step 3 - enable debugging on phone, plug your phone into pc and use charge only. (don't we use recovery for anything, i've seen steps about having this open and using the mount /system to do stuff)
step 4 - get the adb usb drivers to install properly (i guess this is my main issue at the moment...is that what is causing the device not found error when i run the .bat file?)
step 5 - copy and paste code into notepad an save as a .bat file.
step 6 - run the .bat file (within cmd? double click on the file? does it matter?)
step 7 - ????
alternate step 2 through whatever - use the ubuntu cd to do everything... (???)

Run the bat file in the cmd window. Once the bat has successfully run you can unplug the phone and you'll be good to go.

so what is the point of the sdk...other than to have the tools folder to run that .bat? so i'm the only one that can't get the sdk usb drivers to work?
and by good to go, u mean i can install 3rd party apps?
how do i get rid of the the at&t bloatware?
There are other threads explaining how to install third party apps and remove ATT bloatware.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
The problem with trying to do a step-by-step guide is that things like rooting, removing bloatware, and sideloading apps are all separate processes that require different steps and can be done in multiple ways. Some stuff requires you to be in recovery, some stuff doesn't, and other methods may require additional software. That's why there are specific separate threads that discuss them.
You've rooted your phone already, yay! Now you decide what you want to do next. Remove the bloatware? It's important that you don't lump everything together when trying to figure out what you need to do.
It seems like the first step you need to do is get ADB working and recognizing your phone when it's plugged in. ADB is necessary because it provides all the tools/commands necessary for us to interact with the phone through the command line. Windows is notoriously bad about the USB drivers. That's why the Ubuntu method was streamlined for people so they wouldn't have to deal with it. (Linux and Mac have no such usb driver issues.)

thanks for the reply.
yeah i rooted via the ubuntu disc, but then all the other steps people were telling me were using the sdk, getting the drivers, htc sync, yada yada. via windows. so thats the method i've been trying.
is there a step-by-step guide on how to allow 3rd party apps using the ubuntu disc? or... removing bloatware?
is it the same steps, but you just dont have to worry about the drivers?
The steps listed once you're in the SDK are actually the same regardless of what OS you're using.
So for Ubuntu install the SDK. Steps should be the same, just make sure you download the Linux version. Then you'd open a Terminal window (should be called Terminal in Ubuntu.) Then you should be able to use the same commands/steps you find in the other threads.
Since you've been having trouble getting your phone to connect the first thing to do is make sure SDK can actually see your phone. You should be able to open up your Terminal window, navigate to the SDK folder, connect your phone and then type 'adb devices' in the terminal window. It should then list out your phone as HTXXXXXXXX. X being some numbers and letters. If it does show that then you're on your way.
After that I'd go with removing bloatware and the steps listed in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255

ok cool thanks a lot!
i didn't even think to go back to linux to try this stuff until today at work.
i'll check it out later tonight after i mow the lawn and eat dinner....priorities...
i tried in windows one last time. it actually found the htc sync drivers (i in/uninstalled htc snyc earlier...i guess thats what did it)
adb devices command finds my phone, but when i try and run that .bat file, it goes through a bunch of things, but basically says:
remount failed: operation not permitted
failed to copy...
permission denied
all those types of things. then it says to hit enter and then it restarts my phone
???
did u try installing HTC sync connect phone to htc sync, then unistall the htc sync software usb drivers should stay behind

Help rooting Tb

I need help rooting my Tb , does anyone have a video or direct me to one that can help! I don't know how to use ADB!
I would take the time to learn ADB or wait until a one click is out. Learning ADB while rooting your phone could easily break it.
what os are you using?

Honestly just take the time to read the procedure, other help topics on these forums, and take your time when actually going through the procedure.
I had never used ADB either or rooted an android phone for that matter, and I gotta say, rooting the TBolt was cake.
I just took my time with it ensuring I typed in the commands properly.
But if you need a video, here you go: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/22/video-rooting-the-htc-thunderbolt/
what drivers do we need for the process, are they only the htc sync drivers? where can these be found?
Android SDK should be extracted/installed straight onto the C:\ directory to make it easy. Open the android-sdk folder and in it is a program sdkmanager.exe, open that and you can reject all of the downloads but scroll down and install one called the "google usb driver package" which may be necessary, I'm not sure (you should also have the htc sync drivers installed)
The contents from the "exploit.zip" should be extracted into the folder "platform-tools" within the android-sdk folder. Plug in your phone to the usb and open the command prompt. To get started open the command prompt (like a dos prompt) and get the prompt into the folder 'platform-tools' and type "adb devices" then hit enter. If your phone is connected and you have "usb debugging" enabled on your phone from the settings, your phone should appear and you can begin the instructions from jcase

[Q] Android SDK help

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.

Have a look at the 'basics' link in my signature. It tells you how to install the drivers properly.

As with any executable in windows, if you are in a different directory than the executable, you either have to provide the full path when executing it, or add the path of the executable to your windows path. This is not something specific to ADB, it is common for any executable in windows.

Bootloader for Droid DNA

Hello Everyone,
New to the rooting Droids, but have an understanding of them. I have jailbroken all Apple products which i got tired of. Now i finally got myself the New DNA phone with verizon. my dilemma is i dont know how to get the bootloader unlocked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109862 i read through this link on how to do so. but it just gives u the link to download the apk file but no idea on what to do next with it? which also ive been reading off this site how to root my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896
I need of a bit of help if anyone has a min to help me that would be great.
what i dont understand off the first link what to do with the apk file do i put the zip file right on my DNA drive? or run it off the pc?? if so what programs do i need on my computer to unlock my bootloader.
"
What you need:
1.) a Droid DNA
2.) this attached APK
Instructions:
1.) Download apk (attached, cid.apk)
2.) run it (in your app drawer titled HTC DNA SuperCID
3.) reboot to bootloader and confirm you have SuperCID:
a.) fastboot oem readcid
"
that is all the post contains on how to get the supercid?
thanks again!
1. Access XDA from your phone and download the app. (It will show up in your downloads)
2. Install the app by opening it
3. Here's where I believe your main issue/question is. You need Android SDK, if you don't have it installed you can get it Here
4. Follow the instructions and set that up
5. Hold your power button and down on the volume rocker till your phone goes into the bootloader.
6. Plug your phone into your computer
7. While in CMD Prompt type Fastboot oem readcid and hit enter.
8. if you get a response along the lines of 111111 you're good to go.
9. Head over to HTCDev.com and follow the steps they give you
10. After following those steps your bootloader will be Unlocked
11. Flash CWM or TWRP (recoveries) [There are instructions in those threads on how to do that]
12. You should then be good to go and flash ROM's, etc.
access the XDA from the first link? i posted?? on myphone?
ok downloaded to my phone and installed the Apk file
Yes. From your phone go to the link with the apk. Click on the download for that apk, and it will show up on your phone.
ok i now i have it installed and booted to the bootloader screen, which i selected fastboot, and now i have the CMD open but the command you told me to input doesnt work just error message saying "fastboot" is not recongnized. i also have the adt extracted on my desktop.

Fastboot is an ADB command. Did you install the android SDK to your computer, and follow the guide on how to set it up?
Edit:
Here's a guide on how to setup the SDK Guide
yes it completly installed for the APK software, so i used the "abd" command instead of the word fastboot?

Did you set the platform-tools folder to the root of your C: Drive? ADB (my bad, not ABD) uses commands. Fastboot is one of the commands it uses to talk to the phone. If you don't set it up correctly the command: Fastboot will not be recognizable. Double check with the guide I posted, that you have everything correctly setup.
yes i have it in C:\android-sdk-windows
but all i see in the folder is .metadata....

Ok, a couple questions...
1. Did you install HTC Sync? That installs the HTC drivers to your computer.
2. What version of Windowns (if you're on windows) are you running?
Yes i install the htc sync and i am running windows 7 x64.

Ok, go into the sdk folders. There should be a little android icon that says Android SDK or something along those lines. Open that up and it should ask you if you want to install some drivers. You need to install those. Once you do that everything should work.

I have thanked a couple of your posts because the OP hasn't and you have gone out of your way
ok so far what I have setup:
installed phone drivers on the wndows 7 - htc sync.
installed the CID.apk file on my phone.
installed the sdk software on my windows 7 64bit.
I reboot the phone to the bootloader screen.
but cant get the command prompt to work by using the "fast oem readcid"
what am I missing? I keep getting an error when running that command.
thanks again for everyone help so far.
You have to be in a folder that has the fastboot.exe file. Or you need to update your windows path so it recognizes the android sdk folders.
Your best bet is to create a new folder in C:\. For example C:\HTCbootloader. Then copy fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll into it. Then when you run 'cmd', type 'cd HTCbootloader'. From that point you should be able to type 'fastboot oem readcid'.
thanks I try that when I get home.

This is correct. Also to setup a set path that you can access anywhere.
1. Right click on "Computer"
2. Go to properties
3. Click on Advanced System Settings
4. Click on Environmental Variables
5. In System Variables, Scroll to PATH
6. Select it and hit Edit
7. Do not change anything, in the current string, instead go to the very end
8. No spaces from where it ends. ;C:\(whatever you named the file with fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll)
9. Click ok, and you have a path setup, so no matter where you access cmd prompt from you can use adb commands.
I apologize by attempting to hijack this thread but the advice in here is superb... Alright gentleman I could use some help, I got my code from HTC and have followed the instructions with the utmost precision including the verification of my paths (using the same folder from the previous CMD during the unlock process) but no matter what I do I get the error...
"cannot load *** bin unknown error". Any ideas?
ok so i finally got the fastboot oem readcid, and it read 11111111 so im in a good spot so far.. but now i dont see any where, on whats the command to get the token. on this forum page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896
thanks again!

Ok, Now that you have it reading 11111111 head over to HTCdev.com and follow the steps there. You're going to go to unlock bootloader and select other supported devices. It will guide you on how to get the token as well as how to unlock the bootloader.
