HOW TO: install and use ADB Shell

ADB stands for "Android Debug Bridge". It comes with the android 2.0 SDK and can be run from the windows command prompt.


Requirements


ADB package -  Download

Installation
  • Download ADB Package.
  • Extract it.
  • Copy the files you got to C:\adb

How to use?
Open cmd.
To recall the directory of ADB type:


cd c:\adb




In order to run ADB from your machine, you will need to set up the following in your G5's "Settings".
Settings -> Application Settings -> Developement
Then check all of the boxes. Really, you only need the "USB Debugging" box checked, but I checked em all cause I'm cool like that.
Once you have ADB and have your Android set for development, you can plud your G5 into your machine with the USB cable supplied with the device.

Now you can use ADB by giving commands. Like -



adb devices


adb reboot recovery


You can easily find all other commands on Google.
