Easy ADB Install

 

Use this method if you will not be developing with SDK

 

I kanged this from TheFredElement, but I added a few files. One for screenshots and the other just in case.

 

Download ->EasyADB

 

Ensure USB Debugging is on. Settings/apps/development

 

1. Download the EasyADB zip

2. Extract the files

3. Copy SDK Tools folder

4. Navigate to C: drive

5. Paste SDK Tools folder on root of C: drive

6. Open command prompt in Windows Start icon (in search textfield type in cmd and press enter)

7. In command prompt type in

 

cd C:\SDK_tools

 

cd C:\SDK_tools is your path. Now enter:

 

adb.exe

 

9. ADB will execute and start

10. Connect XOOM via USB and wait for drivers to install. If not then install these Drivers

11. Type in:

 

adb devices

 

12. Daemon will start and your XOOM should now be recognized. An alphanumeric string will denote the presence of your device.

 

Installing SDK and ADB for Development

 

Download and install these files:

 

Drivers

Android_SDK

 

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

1. The SDK file is an executable so just run it and it will install. It will install Java Dev Kit if you don't have it.

2. After it's done you might get a java path error (I did). No worries though.

3. Go to where android-sdk-windows was installed. (default is program files (x86) on the C drive) OR (android) Either way its in a folder on the c drive

4. Copy the android-sdk-windows

5. Paste on root of the C drive

6. Open android-sdk-windows

7. Copy all files from the tools folder and paste in the platform-tools folder (or vice versa)

8. Open command prompt in windows icon, in search bar, enter cmd and press enter

9. Connect XOOM via usb.

10. Let it install all drivers.

11. If it doesn't install all of them, direct it towards the driver folder and select the drivers.

12. After all drivers are installed, in cmd window enter: DON"T COPY RED

 

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools <enter> <-this is if you put everything in the platform-tools folder. If you put it in tools then just put tools

adb.exe <enter> <-ADB menu will start and run

adb devices <enter> <-daemon will start successfully and spit out a string of about 20 letters and numbers. this is your device

adb reboot <enter> <-The XOOM will reboot

 

 

You will have to enter the path (cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) and (adb.exe) everytime you want to use adb. You can go to Environmental Variables to set add the path.

 

1. Right click My Computer

2. Advanced system settings

3. Environmental Variables

4. System Variables -> Path

5. C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

OR if ADB is in tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
