Root ADB issues

[phillybirds]

hey guys i'm having a hard time getting adb to work on my pc. Can anyone give me some assistance? its already installed on my pc to the root but when i go to the run at the start screen and hit cmd then type adb or shell or adb shell or adbshell it won't grant me access. At the DOS screen it comes up C:\documents and settings\owner> Then i type adb shell and it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. What did I do wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You either have to cd into the platform-tools folder where adb is located every time you want to use it or you can put the location in your path.

Right click computer or my computer depending on your OS > properties > advanced > Environment variables > system variable > highlight PATH > click edit and type ;C:\android- sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb;
At the end.

If before you paste you notice there already is a ; at the end, then just paste
C:\android- sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb;

Edit: make sure your phone has USB debugging checked in settings, plug it in and type adb devices in cmd. It should list your phone.
