adb, or android debug bridge, is a tool distributed with the android sdk. In current versions of the sdk, it is located in the platform-tools folder, which only appears after you download the sdk tools after downloading the sdk zip itself.

It should be noted that usb debugging needs to be enabled on your device in order for adb to work properly. This can be turned on under: Applications > Development

To use adb, you open up a command window if on windows or a terminal emulator if on linux or mac. Type:
adb <command> [options]
Where command is any one of the commands listed when typing "adb help" and options are things like file names, paths, or other flags.

Common commands include:
pull
push
shell

pull copies a file on your device to your current working directory (or the optional specified location)
push copies a file from your computer onto the device
shell invokes a simple shell on your device allowing you work in a linux like environment on your device
There is a reboot command that is sometimes helpful but that can always be done using the power button on the device.

You will probably only use push and shell.
Examples:
adb shell
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

Hope that clairifies things a bit.

Typos shouldn't hurt. If it's a bad command it just won't execute. If it's a bad filename you may have to clean up a bit (like remove the file that is improperly named or in the wrong directory) but nothing fatal should happen.

You should install a custom ROM, (I use Super Clean, some people prefer the pick n pack) then a theme you like from the themes and apps section, then install the voodoo lagfix kernel. Everything mentioned can be found in the Mesmerize forum.

ADB is nice and all ..

But there other ways to install and do everything needed to Flash a ROM or Kernel.

How to get ADB up and running.

And a couple other great links for learning more.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872128

If you look in the Clockwork Mod thread here in the Mez forums there are walkthroughs on BOTH ADB method to get CWM working and sans ADB methods.

And again. Always Read.. Read again.. if all else fails.. Read once more.. And ask.. Everyone here is very informative and glad to help when we can.

I knew nothing of Android before I came here and a month later I know enough now to be dangerous.. LOL
