[Q] Total n00b to Android. I need help.

[RebelPro]

Hi all. I hope I'm posting in the right place. I tried to post on the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935312, but I don't have access as I am a new member. Currently, I'm stuck. I've run SuperOneClick, but it has stopped at "Waiting for Device." I know. I just started. What have I done wrong that it's already failing? I have downloaded all the up-to-date necessary files, but I can't do anything with them because I can't get anywhere. Does the program need to be on the SD card in the phone? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?! The instructions seem so simple! /about_to_RAGE_QUIT

EDIT::
Apparently my phone didn't take the debugging mode the first time. I'm now stuck on step 5. When you guys are talking about "Navigating" to the folder adb exists in, do I use PATH? If I type in the entire address of the file all the way through adb.exe, I can't type in the next line. What am I doing wrong? /n00b

Make sure you have debugging turned on. Go to menu, settings, applications, development and check usb debugging. In the same screen check for the phone to stay awake. I hope this helps you.

to navigate to the folder, open cmd, and type the following:
cd (directory of the location)

for example:
if i wanted to navigate to my downloads folder on my computer, i would type this:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Downloads
