[Guest razzmataz1478]

Sorry, forgot to look at the upload... :blush:

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...

[Guest utternoob]

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?

Disregard edit part, found the full sdk, and extracted it and got an installer. Proceed?

I guess so.

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>

Ok, inside android-sdk-windows are these files and folders, how to get adb running from here?

[Guest C3C0]

Here is my set of tools

tools.zip

[Guest utternoob]

Thanks. What to do with the tools after extraction?

Sorry for confusion, but have split and re-made kernel and now trying to adb logcat the rom

One minute while I find the driver you need.

[Guest utternoob]

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Take your phone out and install this first

Thanks. How to export as .txt file?

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Thanks. How to export as .txt file?

From memory, either:

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

Or

adb logcat > logcat.text[/code]

[Guest utternoob]

driver update didn't work so not sure what else can do. Revert back to skate kernel for my base rom?

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Nononono.

You need another driver.

I'll get it after rugby.

[Guest utternoob]

Thanks

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Might be obvious but remember to connect in USB Debugging mode. You might already have the driver

[Guest utternoob]

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

[Guest razzmataz1478]

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...
