I'm doing this simple guide on how to achieve a logcat when an issue is received
It's very simple but some people on here don't know how to do one.

1. Download Android SDK from here:
Code: 
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2. Extract Android SDK to any area

3. Once Android SDK is extracted, be sure to put the path and download Android SDK Tools:

Examples:

Windows
Open your start menu, right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'
Once another window opens go to 'Advanced settings'
Followed by selecting 'Environmental Variables'
Look for PATH and enter the following:
Code: 
C:\Android-sdk-windows; C:\Android-sdk-windows\platform-tools; C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools;

Now java will need to be installed
Go to the following link:
Code: 
http://www.java.com/en/

Go into Android SDK folder and open 'SDK Manager.exe'
Only check 'Android SDK Tools' and Android SDK Platform-tools

Linux
Go into your Home folder and Press CTRL+H (This is done to show hidden folders and files)
Look for the file '.bashrc'
Open it and put the following or similar:
Code: 
export PATH=$PATH:~/android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:~/android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:~/android/sdk/tools

You will need to add something for any devices to be recognized:
Open terminal and enter:
Code: 
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Enter the following in the file:
Code: 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
Now save and close the file, in terminal enter:
Code: 
sudo chmod +x /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Now you will need to install java
Open terminal and enter:
Code: 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

Now that everything is installed
Open terminal either type:
Code: 
android
OR, if that doesn't work
Code: 
cd ~/android/sdk/tools
./android

4. How to do a logcat:
This is very simple as now you have installed Android SDK and ADB

First connect the device via USB to your computer
Be sure to have usb debugging enabled

To verify the device is connected type:
Code: 
adb devices


Windows

Open Command Prompt
Enter the following (Yes there's a space in between the '>'):
Code: 
adb logcat > logcat.txt


Linux

Open Terminal
Enter the following (Yes there's a space in between the '>'):
Code: 
adb logcat > logcat.txt

*The logcat.txt is your logcat that you can copy and paste for developers

5. Now that you've created a logcat copy and paste it to:

You sir don't follow instructions do you?

I said do adb logcat > logcat.txt for a reason. It's to save your logcat to a text file to give developers of your issues

After I enter "adb logcat > logcat.txt" nothing happens. ADB recognizes my devices. I have debugging enabled. It does say adb server is out of date, if that means anything.

Running 8-10-2012 tamcore nightly on HTC sensation. with tamcore kernel. Boot loader is locked with S-off. if that means anything.

    I also have been trying to get a logcat on my galaxy s3 and I have been having problems with drivers and getting ADB to recognize my phone, but I finally got it to recognize it, however when I go to create the logcat via adb logcat > logcat.txt I also get the "access is denied" error. I just created a logcat on my girlfriends computer no problem. Well I got adb working on my pc and wanted to try to create a logcat and I got this error and googled it and found this thread, wondering if anyone figured out what is causing this.

    Whoever facing the problem of "access is denied " try this
    right click android-sdk -properties - Security- Edit the users permission and give Full Control
    It worked for me .. I think it is not having administrator permissions while saving the log in the system . .. this is for windows 7.
