**ADB Help Needed, After Unsuccessful Searches** - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA... I'm Requesting some ADB Help from whoever would be kind enough to Answer a few of my Questions!
I Tried Searching the threads, But None of them seemed to Work for me? My Main Dilemma is that my computer Can't Find the ADB Driver
It Keeps Saying Install the CD that Came with the phone, But my Sprint Hero Never Came with a CD!
I tried the Unrevoked method for Setting up the Drivers also, but Still No Luck.... Can someone give me some Advice Please!
Thanx!!

Visit http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/ and follow the driver installation section there, after downloading the Google ADB Drivers that come with the Android SDK. The download instructions for those drivers are also in the guide, in the steps for installing the SDK.

Need help unrooting!!!!

Please help!!! My charger port broke and I need to unroot to take it to Cellular South to see if they can fix it. I am running CM 6.1 and I rooted with Z4root. I saved it on my phone with Titanium Backup. When I click on it all it says is root. Well i figured if I try to reroot it, it will recognize that I am already rooted and then give me the option to unroot but all it does is reboots and reinstalls the current ROM. When I go back to Z4root it says the same thing, root. I also was going to get the original RUU from Cell South but I can't hook my phone up to the computer to finish the process cause of my charger port is broken. Please help me!!! If I failed to give you all the info you need, let me know and I will give you the missing info. Thanks in advance!!!
have your tried running the ruu through adb using adb wireless?
How do you do that?
I downloaded the RUU from Cell South and tried to install it from recovery mode but it just went back to the current ROM again.
there is a progam called adb wireless.... havent done any of this myself but i would guess its the same as running the ruu in adb connected through usb.
check here for ruu commands in adb

You don't run an RUU from recovery, or from the phone at all.
Do you have fast boot working??? If so there's a zip you can flash from h boot to return to stock.
Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.
Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
I downloaded the adb wireless but not sure what to do with it.

Isn't fast boot where I press and hold power button and volume up? If so then yes it works but not sure how to use it. The only thing I use it for is when is says (menu) Recovery. I use it to send me to recovery mode sometimes.

What is this androidsdk I keep hearing about? I actually got help rooting with the good folks from phandroid forums. Maybe y'all use this androidsdk in your rooting method and Phandroid does not and I'm missing that and that us why I can't figure out what y'all are talking about. Just thinking...

Give me a sec to boot up I'll post you some links on how to get the android sdk. Adb wireless wont work without it. I've never used that app so not sure on how it works. And fast boot is when you have s-off. When you hold your volume down and power before you hit the button for recovery it will say in the top left hand corner or right, if you have s-off or s-on. To use fast boot you have to have s-off.
Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.
Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
I just checked and it says S-on.

It's going to take a lot of reading sorry for the wait time had to take my wife to work. If you need any other help I will try my best. Well good luck.
On the first step, do I do everything or just download the ADB SDK? Sorry, I hate to sound like such a noob but I don't want to mess this up!

Ok I have the first 2 downloaded. Since I'm with Cellular South I can't use the last step so I went to cellularsouth.com and I'm downloading it as I type. I'm not sure how to install the first 2 though. I have them downloaded but not sure what to do next.

If you mean the sdk just install it on your computer. Just click on it and choose run. If that's not the one then which one are you refering to
Install the ask on the computer and use the adb wireless to connect, right?

[Q] bootloader unlock issue

I have a nexus one with stock ota 2.3.3 gb and ive been trying to unlock the bootloader.
I installed the android sdk to my computer as well as the appropriate drivers for windows from the sdk.
in the command prompt when i type in fastboot oem unlock i get this message, "The program can't start because adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
I can tell that obviously there is a file missing somewhere but i dont know what went wrong and why that file would be missing
so my question is does anybody know what i should download again that contains that missing folder so maybe i can correct the issue? im not sure if i have to install the sdk over again or the drivers or maybe something else that im missing. I followed all the instructions step by step to unlock the phone so again i dont know exactly what went wrong. Thanks in advance for any help i might get
I think it's in the platform-tools addon...

Help with rooting 2.3.5

Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

I am completely stuck. don't know how to install the universal naked drivers because everytime I say uninstall device, it disappears. If it's there, then when i try to install it says that my drivers are up to date. All i need to do is be able to get my phone recognized in adb and I should be fine.

Wiped internal storage, like a dumbass...

So I just got this last Wednesday. I read through a guide, and watched an instructional video on how to root my device. Everything works fine up until the point where I have to install SuperSU or SuperUser. Now, my friend uses SuperUser so I thought I would go ahead and follow his footsteps with that. I install ViperOne, and it finishes. After the reboot, my device is stuck in a bootloop. I wipe the memory, not thinking, and removed everything. My backpu, ViperOne, everything. I look up some more guides and learn about the abd push ROM.zip /sdcard/ command and try it out but I'm getting device not found. I have an OTG cable coming, but the possibility is there to use adb so until it does come, I'd like to at least attempt.
Current status:
Can only access boot loader and TWRP. ADB is not working. I wouldn't mind running an RUU but the only file I found on it, on top of downloading it twice @ 80kbps, says there's an error and I can't extract it from the .zip archive.
I don't know what more information I should provide, but any advice on how to unbrick this would be greatly appreciated. This is an amazing android, and all I wanted to do was make it better :c
Try reinstalling drivers on your computer. You might have to do some research here to find them though. Good luck.

Try holding power button down until the bottom lights stop flashing and let it boot up.
....assuming you flashed the Sprint version.
Sorry. Misunderstood your post...ruu may be your best bet here.

Look HERE
I did the same thing when I first got the phone. Download the drivers for the one from the htc site, also try installing HTC sync if you haven't already. I'd provide links, but I'm not at a computer right now. Try using another computer if you can. Also, try restarting your phone WHILE it's plugged into your computer, or a different usb port. That helped me get adb working.

Use these drivers, make sure to delete all other drivers. Once installed go to device manager and search for new drivers, then pick these.
