Im trying to get adb setup on my evo and i just cant seem to get it working. I downloaded the sdk manager java and usb drivers as well as followed several tutorials on the net and the one over on xda and still cant seem to get it working. Im sure that IM doing something wrong. Right now im uninstalling sdk manager and i want to start from scratch so if anyone can point to an adb for dummies tutorial I would appreciate it. Im running W7 x86 and i have the latest going green rom on my evo if that helps. thxin advance.

ok that is good then. do you have usb debugging on? also did you try and reboot your phone?
usb debugging is on and i just rebooted my phone im just waiting on the sdk to finish downloading all the files again since i uninstalled and started from scratch again.
Something else im not clear on is if im supposed to boot into recovery then plug my phone up to the pc to get it to see my phone and transfer whatever files that are supposed to be transfered?

nope that should not be necessary. just make sure that the phone is on and that you have usb debugging on.
this is what i get from last update of sdk manager
Downloading Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 7
Installing Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 7
'adb kill-server' failed -- run manually if necessary.
Installed Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 7
'adb kill-server' succeeded.
ADB: * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
'adb start-server' succeeded.
ADB: * daemon started successfully *
In cmd it keeps telling me "adb is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" if that helps.

so what happens when you type:cd c:\android-sdk\tools\?
Ok im still not getting anywhere and i really want to figure this out in i need to use adb for something in the future so bare with me. Im wondering if im having a problem since i downloaded the sdk manager a couple of times now and i might have files on top of files. Ive been moving it around in the directories also so now im thoroughly confused lol. Im not really worried about jacking up the pc bcuz i can always restore but i have followed the tutorials pretty closely and i believe its on the pc but maybe not in the right directory. when i plug in my phone nothing happens, meaning i have yet to see any adb files being pushed to my phone.
when i plug the phone in i see 2 entries for my phone in device manager,
the first one says
android usb devices
my htc
the second entry is under disk drives and says,
htc android phone usb device

sorry i could not answer you in time, but looks like you figured it out. i was going to suggest that. i'm relatively new to adb myself. as far i think that you should be ok, but if you want you could unstall it just in case.
