hi guys I know this is the wrong thread but the rezound forums is where I hang out, I just got a new computer and was wondering if anyone could link me to the proper sdk files to download for windows 8? any help would be appreciated..
Start here: http://developer.android.com/tools/index.html
The zip bundle should get you more than you need for adb and fastboot without any extra work.
So I seem to be missing something I installed the dl from the link you posted for me, I have java installed, where am I missing the step to create a folder on my c:/drive with all the available SDK tools fastboot, adb, etc...

..as to better word my question what tools do I need in that folder to have fastboot cmds work from my folder on my c:/drive ex. (cd c:/android). ?

If you go through the download link, the stuff you need is contained in the sdk/platform-tools directory. adb and fastboot are both in there. If you unpack the whole thing, you can run sdk/tools/android.bat, and it will launch an updater GUI that you can use to keep adb updated as needed.
I attached my adb/fastboot folder for you. It should have everything you need for fastboot and adb for your phone.

Solved. Thanks

Hi, I'm attempting to flash 2.3.4 after unlocking my AT&T Atrix. How do I fastboot flash it? Please give a step by step on how. I tried doing it like I did to unlock it but that did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 gives no help whatsoever. horrid
Also, i need help on what files to use, where to place them, etc. I have the four files for windows (the two .img files + fastbootfriends (whatever its called) and the fastboot files)

Here's the guide for Windows x64/x86
I would say if you are struggling that much you probably should not try it until there is an easier way for you.

I can help
Make sure you have all your drivers installed, if you had them before, make sure you are using the same usb port.
Also make sure your phone is on usb debugging.
You can also run afterupdate bat file. (not needed)
Also download the zip file from the post above. or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139715
Take that folder and extract it with winrar or whatever you use and put the folder in your C drive.
Also make sure your phone is on usb debugging.
You can also run afterupdate bat file. (not needed)
Anyway extract the folder to your c drive.
open up cdm and you will see this
C:\Users\Your Name>
Now this is what you will type , your screen should look just like mine as long as you havent changed names of anything.
C:\Users\Your Name>cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then type this
cd C:\moto-fastboot
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot.
I know you installed the android sdk tools but just in case watch this video

For those of you who don't know exactly what the CRT animation is, it is the animation that Gingerbread uses when you press the power button and the screen gives a neat power off effect.
Well I wanted this. A lot. So I went out and did it. Just enabled it, and it looks gorgeous on my phone.
Please note, that you must be rooted in order to use this, and on Gingerbread.
It is a straightforward process.
PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES ADB AND JAVA TO BE INSTALLED
A good idea to nandroid before this, as if something goes wrong it can screw up a lot of things.
Installation 1:
Download DX2-CRT-Animation.zip
Copy to sdcard
Flash in CWR
BIG THANKS TO p3droid FOR PACKAGING AS A ZIP
Installation 2 (the complicated, make you feel cooler, hardcore, original way):
This is modifying your framework-res so some themes may not work any longer.
Instructions:
[]Have phone plugged into computer, and in Charge Mode.
[]Download DX2-CRT-Animation.apk
[]Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT-Animation.apk's location. (This can be accomplished by shift clicking on the folder where this resides, and clicking open command prompt here).
[]Push files onto the phone
Code:
adb push DX2-CRT-Animation.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
[]Get shell access
Code:
adb shell
su
---When you enter this, make sure your phone is awake, as a Super User access allow/deny will pop up. Allow it.
In command prompt, you should now have a #.
[]Remove and copy files to proper location, reboot
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Whats next:
-Reverse CRT animation (hopefully!!!)
Any input is appreciated.
I am new to this. Give me your input, and help me get better.
Works great! Thanks!
I think everything is working as it should with crt animation working.
Directions worked well, I just had to change how I got into adb.
Great job.
This is awesome, however I'm a little confused. I'm no beginner by any means, but this looks to be outside the realm of what I've done.
When I go into the terminal, am I doing this from my computer? Or my phone (via Terminal Emulator)?
Here is what I'm thinking, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
Download apk
Enter terminal emulator
Type in all of your commands
Voila?
Sorry for all the newbness on this, but I'm dying for some CRT.
Thanks man!
Nevermind, I'm a fail.
I'm downloading the Android and Java SDK now.
I downloaded the necessary files. I can't get the first part to work.
"Open Command Prompt (or Terminal) window in DX2-CRT Animation.apk's location.
Can you explain this step more? I tried right-clicking...
People set up there adb differently. Important thing is to copy file to the directory of where your adb tools are. In my case its
/sdk/platform-tools
Hope this helps

Couldn't get it to work. Even had the IT guy from my work try to get it going. We couldn't get the terminal to find swt.jar
Is it possible for me to do this through root explorer, all through my phone? Change permissions and push it into the correct folder?
That would be awesome.
I am out of town but when I get back I will try to package a zip to flash.
Are you on linux?
If I can elaborate for you here:
When you download the apk, copy it to your documents folder. The use the cd command to change the directory to your documents folder. This is assuming you have your path files set up correctly. Hope this helps!

Haha, it doesn't help. I'm clueless man. A zip file, or instructions on how to do it SOLELY from my phone (using root explorer) would be all I know.
Dying for this
I think you just need adb.
Nice work man! I'm on my way home to hook this up. This is a good excuse for me to get the Android SDK set up on my home machine.

I've spent all day trying to get it to work. No dice.
Would love a zip as well...
Well, I tried both download links in the original post and each time it would successfully boot up but no CRT animation. I finally got it figured out as I have the X2 spare parts installed and had to turn off fancy input animations and now it works. Thanks for posting this.
EDIT: I take that back. I had to put the speed of transition animations to normal and can have fancy input animations enabled. For some reason this won't work when "fast" is checked.

Do you have a pc?
I just put his file is /android-sdk-windows/tools
And followed his commands.
Just got this working. Thanks again to OP. I love this animation. Reverse would be cool. Or like a really old school crt that that has to warm up and slowly fades in. Haha.

Nope. I just have the android sdk installed. The adb is not included in the dl from google so you have to dl and extract that into the android-sdk-windows/tools
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RTEY0Q97
Then do the steps from beginning and test to confirm your device is recognized
Then proceed and follow the steps.

Why link to mega upload when all you need to do is launch the sdk manager and add the platform tools package? I'd rather get my software from the distro than some megaupload. No offense.

Hey guys,
Been searching trying to find out if it's possible to use the one-click root with a mac but can't find anything. Can someone point me in the right direction to help me root the Rezound since I only have a mac? Thanks.
The long and the short of it is that you need to supplement the windows commands with Mac/Linux commands. I'll put up my port of it this weekend...I've been meaning to do it anyway.
if you install AmonRA recovery one option is to root the rom your currently using (aka stock rom with an unlock, all other roms are rooted already afaik) put this on the root of your sd card and install with hboot, or pull the recovery from the .zip and flash it in fastboot (put the recovery.img in same folder as your fastboot.exe and run the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
If you want to root than I'm assuming you are already unlocked correct? If so I would read post #1 in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20833039
Use the Amon version and follow the directions to the exact letter. It was very quick and very easy to do but if you are new to rooting, etc. read very carefully Especially when it comes to the naming of the file and the exact spot to place it on your sd card.

Nice this looks simple enough. So basically all I need is to Unlock via HTC, flash Amon recovery and use it to intall su? I had a Tbolt which I rooted with a mac but involved a variety of commands. I guess since HTC unlocks the bootloader, this is no longer needed. Simply flash a recovery with hboot and obtain su access?
after you flash to amonRA recovery you go to developer menu and choose install su and superuser (not sure why but i remember someone saying DO NOT use the eng unguarded SU)
Cool yea I read that too.

Right, but if you are not unlocked do some reading up on that first. You will need to download the sdk from Google. Then basically you
1. unzip it / move it to your root os x drive and I normally rename the folder to just sdk to save on typing
2. Double click on the android file inside of the /tools folder
3. Under tools download the Android SDK tools and SDK platform
Once you have the SDK installed and tools installed it's basically just a matter of CD'ing to the /platform-tools and then you can run fastboot and adb
There are a couple of cheater .zips out there that just contain the necessary adb and fastboot files for Mac that works as well. When you see instructions on how to do something using windows it's going to be pretty much the same. Just remember for most things you are going to have to add a ./ to the front of the command.
It sounds and looks harder than it really is but you need to make sure you really read up on this stuff before jumping in Don't be afraid to experiment but just have a failsafe backup plan. And if you are not sure about something ask first

I second this. I just use a folder with a adb and fastboot-mac in it and make sure I cd the folder with it in terminal. As long as you use the ./ in front of the commands in terminal and have these files in the folder you cd to you will be
good to go. Just remember that you have to use ./fastboot-mac. The first time I did it I kept.forgetting to put the Mac part on lol. Good luck!

First install the drivers for your phone. Then just download the attachment and extract it. open the extracted folder "adb" and double click the cmd.exe shortcut .
You will have working adb and fastboot.
Download : adb.zip

hey everyone im trying to get an answer to unbrick my phone. it seems i either need to adb sideload or to install the ruu files for my phone. i have tired to use abd push and sideload to get the files over to my phone.but when i issue the command (images included) it just spits out all the information.. basically it doesn't send the file. i downloaded the sdk and i have the platform tools folder in the fastboot folder. i have changed cd to the directory and tried to send the files.. still no luck. the phone isn't deteted because i have removed htc sync. i think that's why its not seeing my device. but when it was able to detect my device, it still didn't work.
