scary alien: include another, mini-SDK alternative installation option scary alien: include link to alternative, pre-packaged adb/SDK installation scary alien: replace attachments with better imageshack links scary alien: 1) minor edits, 2) additional instructions, 3) include example images This also allows you to use 3rd party script tools such as apk manager. Once you have set the new paths, click ok, then OK on the enviornment variables window, and apply on the system properties window.Īt this point, you no longer have to cd to platform-tools to use adb or java. But, make sure of the version you are running. Unless you've changed the directory, it will probably be similar for you. In my case it'sĬ:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\java.exe The next step is to do the same with Java. But, if you have yours set up in your Program Files folder, it would look something like thisĬ:\program files\android\android-windows-sdk\platform-toolsĪs I said, you need to modify the PATH you enter to fit your computer. Now, since I have mine set directly on my C\: drive, there is no other folder in there. Next, without any spaces type the following, modified to your computer.Ĭ:\android\android-windows-sdk\platform-tools Move the cursor to the end of the text, making sure you don't delete anything, and add a semi-colon. Next, look on the second pane in the second pop up that shows up (system variables) and scroll down to path.ħ. Click "environment variables" on the pop up that comes upĥ. On the left pane, click "advanced system settings"Ĥ. Then click your start button, and right click 'computer'.ģ. After you have installed SDK, make a note of where it is installed (I have mine directly on the root of the C\: drive, for simplicity).
for Windows PCs, you'll need to have the adb USB device drivers specific to your Android device for Apples Macs, this is not a stumbling block, but often is for Windows machines finding and installing the adb USB device drivers for Windows is beyond the scope of this tutorial, please see post #4 belowĭetails and options for installing the Android SDK and the adb utility follow below: install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) and its platform-tools packageĢ.
The adb (Android Debug Bridge) is a useful utility, often used for root-related operations.ġ. (LOL, El Presidente, just saw this ().you are too kind, sir! Thank you for that nice note.SA) Windows drivers are in the post after that.Īll credit for this goes to scary alien! Go click the Thanks button on one of his posts to show your appreciation. The full SDK shown here is absolute overkill for most every rooter. If you're just here to grab rooting tools, go the easy way - read this, but install the Mini-SDK as shown in the post after this one. Note: see post #2 below for the most current download and instructions for the mini-sdk (i.e., sdk-tools.zip file-the download can be found at the end/bottom of post #2).
