Here I / copy / edit a tutor on how to use / connect with the thousands adb..


For starters what is ADB?

ADB is the acronym for "Debugging Android Bridge" or Spanish "Android Debug Bridge."
It is a tool that comes with the android SDK and allows us to access and control an android device from a PC.

*) Step 1: Download the SDK from the page HERE

*) Step 2: Extract the zip where you want, for example, did it in C: \ android

*) Step 3: define the working path android.
Here we have two ways:

A: A travez of CMD.
Open a CMD and type the following:


B: Do it graphically
In XP
Right-click on My Computer
-Click Properties
-Click on advanced options
-Click Environment Variables
-Check the path variable and click the edit button
-Add the variable to the end of everything


In Vista and W7
"Let's Start.
Right-click EQUIPMENT
-Click Properties
-Click Advanced System Settings
-Click on advanced options
-Click Environment Variables
-Check the path variable and click the edit button
-Add the variable to the end of everything



*) STEP 4: Run the SDK Setup.exe file that is inside the folder android-sdk-windows and a picture should appear like this:


Now let's settings and mark the box that says "Force https: / / ... to Be fetch sources using http:// ... " and press the button "Save & Apply"

After that we go where it says "Available Packages" button then need to "Refresh" and we should look something like this:



Mark the packages needed and give it to "install selected"
I have the picture above, if NO go to program or use the emulator just down the second and the last option

*) STEP 5: In the phone: menu -> settings -> applications -> Development -> "USB debugging"

*) STEP 6: when you connect your phone, if you ask drivers to use the directory usb_driver

*) Step 7: Done only remains open CMD and run the command "adb" without quotes

As a rule of thumb, please run 'adb devices' whenever you connect your phone to the USB and planning to run ADB commands. If there's no serial numbers that came up after running 'adb devices', then dont bother running any ADB commands. They wont work, you'd need to sort out your USB driver issues first.

Hehehe...
That the mandatory... .what ever it is adb device 1st...

wow never seen a tutorial like this..... usualy i just go and use windows cmd

Why those spaces before and after backslashes? Won't they affect anything?

Thank you for the informative tutorial, now I can root and do recovery on my device with more confidence. Those cmd codes are really useful. Now I have a better under standing of adb.

very nice tutorial.. thanks alot!

Nice one, I think this should be pinned.
