Not to worry. Still have no clue about sdk and adb etc. All guides go over my head

Make sure you've downloaded the zip and not the executable...

Oh dear. Where is zip found?

Edit: Ok, have found an adb zip and have extracted it. I have 5 files: adb command prompt, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll, ddms and fastboot command prompt. What now?

Have you got yaffs2utils?

mkyaffs2 <unpacked dir> boot.img
You can't use mkyaffs to create boot.img. mkbootimg must be used since base address needs to be specified.

usage: mkbootimg

	   --kernel <filename>

	   --ramdisk <filename>

	   [ --second <2ndbootloader-filename> ]

	   [ --cmdline <kernel-commandline> ]

	   [ --board <boardname> ]

	   [ --base <address> ]

	   [ --pagesize <pagesize> ]

	   -o|--output <filename>

Close command prompt.

Once it gets going you can't stop it. :P

Thanks. How to export as .txt file?

From memory, either:

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
Or
adb logcat > logcat.text[/code]

Connected in USB debugging using MoKee, what should it say when installing?

cd into the adb folder and do

adb devices
If it comes back with
??????????   Unknown
Go in device manager and you should see Unknown device. Expand it. Right click and update driver software Browse my computer Let me choose from a list of drivers Download this and unzip Click have disk Browse to the driver you just downloaded and double click android_winusb Next Choose ADB Composite Next/finish Now do again
adb devices

Should work now...
