[Q] Help using ADB

[RPK925]

iam having trouble using ADB with windows XP. i have downloaded superoneclick program and opened the ADB folder inside. then i turned usb debugging on, then connected, then ran the ADB program, it starts with showing how to run commands, but only stays open for about 5 seconds, then closes, i cant read what the rest of it says because it closes to quickly. iam new to android and have never used adb before but i followed all the steps i think. what iam i doing wrong? thanks

you have to open a command prompt in the folder where adb.exe is stored. you don't need to run the program itself, just run commands necessary to do whatever hack you're trying to do. if you just put the apk files in the same folder as adb.exe then use "adb push" commands and such (whatever is detailed in the instructions)

to open a command prompt in the folder, i think you can just right click and select "Open command prompt here" (i know that's in win7, not too sure about xp)

also - this is the wrong section to post this. it should be in the Q&A section, not development.

thanks for your help. when i extracted adb from S.O.C. i gave me 5 files
ADB.exe

Why are you using super one click on your atrix? Gingerbreak or gladroot is the preferred method for the atrix.

Start the. Exe? Because it wont allow me to type any commands it just runs for about 2 seconds then closes.
