I am going to assume per of discussion that the path to your Android SDK tools is C:\AndroidSDK\tools. If this is not the correct path then use the correct one in the instructions. I'm really just cutting and pasting these from a search and tailoring them for you.
1. Click Start and choose Control Panel
2. In the Search box on the top right of the window type system path
3. Click “Edit the system environment variables”
4. The Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box is shown. Click the Environment Variables button on the bottom right.
5. In the lower box titled “System Variables” scroll down to Path and click the Edit button.
6. Scroll to the end of the Variable Value and and ;C:\AndroidSDK\tools (don't forget the semicolon)
7. Click Ok
8. Click Ok again
9. Click Ok for a third time
10. Restart your system.
Now you should be able to access adb from anywhere on the command line. Keep in mind if you are going to start pushing files to the phone it's still probably easier to go to the tools directory to do that. It's not necessary but will be more simple for you.
As far as the code goes, I would need to know specifically what you are referencing. But suffice it to say, almost all communication with the phone is via command prompt using adb or shell.
Go to: http://hydrakernel.net/ to download the kernels
Please read: http://hydrakernel.net/faq.htm to educate yourself. It's worth it.
let me just say, this guide, so far, is close to completely worthless.
Nothing is where the guide says it is
ADB doesn't see my device.
I have no idea what to do with the recovery thing I downloaded, it does nothing that the guide says it should. It doesn't unzip anything, I just get a big white window on my laptop, no idea what to do next.
I ended upgetting root by runnig unrevoked3, but I have no idea what parts of the guide I needed to follow or not, the "uninstall apps" section is worthless, really this thing reads like it was writen by a hyperactive 13 year old who forgot to take thier Ritalin. Can soone write a READABLE guide on how to get root and unintall apps?
One thing that isn't clear in the guide is what a nandroid backup actually covers.
My nandroid restore isn't working. I thought nandroid covers everything.
But what if I'm accidently running a different ROM, kernel or CWM? Maybe those need to be the same as the backup? This needs to be in the OP
p.s. the OP is the #1 google link for nandroid restore so it would be great to help everyone by updating some info in the thread... or even just the second post which has been reserved
