I soft bricked my One. I have a rom to flash but have no idea how to push it via adb. I am downloading the Android SDK now but can someone point me to a very clear step by step tutorial on how to push via adb? Everything I find on the internet seems to be geared to those who are already familiar with command prompts. I am not.
thank you.
I wrote a primer about a year ago

most of the instructions are universal though.

I cant get adb installed on my computer I think. When I go to start, cmd and type adb i get "adb is not a recognized command".
Run adb from the directory you installed it. Also on a mac put a./ dot slash in front of the command

When I try and install the ADB exe from the zip file provided in your tutorial it says unable to start because ADBWinApi.dll is missing from my computer.

Find adb.exe in your hard drive. When you downloaded the sdk you unzipped the files somewhere.. I'm assuming you didn't add the path of adb.exe to your environment variables (if you did you would be able to type in adb commands from any directory in cmd prompt).
So navigate to driveletter:\adbdirectory\
From this directory you should be able to type in adb and get feedback

I found the adb.exe and I ran it. A cmd window popped up for a second then vanished. I have no adb directory that I can find.

You don't run adb as an application, you run it in command prompt as an MS Dos command.
Adb is located in the tools directory of the sdk..not necessarily it's own directory. I was just saying to navigate to where that directory is from within cmd prompt.. I.e if adb.exe was located in c:\android, you would go to "cd c:\android" then run "adb commandhere"

thank you. I found a tutorial which instructed me to put the destination folder into environmental variables. Then I was able to get it to work.
Minor miracle I was able to get it to work!

I rooted and now I keep losing su permissions and I can't boot into cwm recovery. I figure something messed up during the process. I guess I should unroot and then try the process again. I'm trying to use the HOWTO Return to stock properly and safely process.
I have adb installed and when I try to do the first step:
(adb push misc.img /data/local/)
It says this:
adb server is out of date. Killing....
* daemon started successfully *
cannot stat 'misc.img': no such file or directory
I'm sure I have a file in the wrong directory? Any help is appreciated!
From your pc before you run adb push did you:
cd c:\path\to\downloads\
?
I cannot the 100 percent certain that is what you need from your description but I however am 80 percent sure.
this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer
In the newer ADB version you need to have your command promt directed to the platform-tools directory. So, whatever you are trying to push also needs to be within that directory.
Even if you add it to your $PATH?
I haven't updated my sdk in a long long time so I'm not sure
this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer
If you have an old version of the Android SDK then misc.img should be placed in the tools directory. Personally I have the SDK version 7 and I had to place the files in Platform-tools.

It depends which directory path you have in your $PATH variable. If you have the latest SDK and $PATH is still pointing to "tools" then ADB will not be there... you need to update your $PATH variable to point wherever ADB is located.

How can I see what version I'm using? I'm new to ADB and was just trying to follow the instructions on the HOWTO so I didn't have to ask a bunch of questions.
My adb is in C:\sdk\platform-tools\
if that helps any. That is also the file that the misc.img file is in
If your adb is in C:\sdk\platform-tools\ did you cd C:\sdk\platform-tools\ first?
Thanks to everyone for the help. I got it figured out last night!

how to use command prompt:
-windows 7: start button > type in "cmd" without quotes
-windows vista and xp: start button > Run type in "cmd" without quotes
You need to be familiar with windows file system. There are directories and files
now you can go to any directory you want. Let say you want to go to your android directory that's in c:\user\seansk\android\
type: cd c:\user\seansk\android\
if you want to go back to c:\ directory
type: cd c:\
How to get custom recovery using command prompt:
download the attached .zip file provided by Binary I have also attached it here
PUT ALL THE FILES INSIDE THE ZIP FILE INTO C:\Android
to do this: click start click on "computer" or "my computer" depending on your windows version.
Then click on the main drive usually it is c:
right click in an empty area and create a new folder and call it android
now take all the files inside the zip file i have attatched and put them in the android folder
go to command prompt like showed you above: go to c:\android directory like I showed you above: if you forgot here's how AGAIN
type cd c:\android
now type this: fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-ruby-5.0.2.7.img
your command prompt should now look like this:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-ruby-5.0.2.7.img
PRESS ENTER, your phone will install the custom recovery
once it is done
type: fastboot reboot
Done.

im trying to folow these steps to flashing cwm and get confused at these steps
Untar codeworkx's kernel into the Heimdall directory.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory: heimdall flash --kernel zImage
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
And? What's the problem? What OS are you running?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
well i dont now what those steps mean?? im running windows 7
You open a command line (Terminal on Linux/OS X, CMD or PowerShell on Windows 7).
Then you change into the directory where Heimdall installed (cd command) and execute the command as they said.
For you it would be:
./heimdall.exe flash --kernel zImage
Remember to put the kernel file (zImage) into the same directory too.

I'm at the same step. Sorry I'm not familiar with this part of the process.
-Running XP
-Heimdall folder is sitting in my downloads folder
-I placed zimage into this Heimdall folder
Next step asks "On the computer, open terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory"
but I don't see a terminal program, or CMD or powershell. I don't know how to do this. Would someone be able to explain?

Lol, cmd is command prompt, open command prompt
Or open run type cmd press enter
Use command
cd..
(including the dots)
Until you reach c:\
Using command
cd "folder name"
(don't include "") go to the Heimdall directory then run the command for installing the kernel.
P. S :Move Heimdall to c:\ and give cd Heimdall and run the command.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

I'm stuck at step #5 here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2mtr
What is the Heimdall directory? I've tried installing the .exe from the Heimdall zip, but it keeps telling me that msvcr100d.dll is missing. I've managed to find that via a 3rd party, moved it into the System32 folder - and still nothing. I'm at a loss here This is NOT a simple process for those of us familiar with a computer, but not code monkeys. Thanks!

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

ADB without full SDK
Download Android Control here
Extract the AndroidControl folder out of it to the root of your hard drive.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder.
Run adb commands
my jetstream when i purchased it was
unlocked , s-off and cwm was installed but
when i try app-rootneeded they say my devices is not rooted is this possible at all?
and when try to root doomlord method:
1. adb&fastboot (11MB) extracted from sdk(downloaded work good & root in C:\Android)
2. JETSTREAM-DooMLoRD-insecure-kernel-autoroot-test2-boot.img(renamed insecure.img and copy to C:\Android )
3. DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-busybox-su
4. htc driver (find in fastbootdevices cmd and htcsync)
5. usb debbug mode
and it says
" cannot load "insecure.img" : no error "
Usually, that's because the cmd window was not opened in the adb folder where the image is located. Did you use the change directory command (cd)? Or if using Windows 7, try holding shift & right mouse click in the folder to run cmd from that folder.
also, if you search "cannot load: boot.img no error" - you'll get a lot of hits in google.
