Root Newest 2.1 OTA ROOT version released.

I have been trying to follow the 2.1 update and have gotten through the step 1 - root from 1.5 but am having trouble with the #2 Amon's recovery image step, I'm using a Macbook Pro, and in the terminal every time I try and type the adb commands it gives me this error:

bash: adb: command not found

what am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the help
 
chances are you are not in the folder containing the adb program... identify the path to the android_sdk/tools/adb command

onc eyou know that path navigate to that location using the the following commands:

pwd - this command tells you your "present working directory" or current path
ls - this command lists the contents of the folder you are currently in
cd - change directory

for example you may use the commands as follows

$ pwd
/user/jimmy/

at this point you say ...huh thats not the right folder ...I know my android sdk is in /downloads/androidsdk or whatever

so you type

$cd /downloads/androidsdk/tools/
$ pwd
/downloads/androidsdk/tools
$ls
.
..
adb
blah blah blah

now while you are in that directory you can try typing adb shell

if that still doesn't work try typing

$./adb shell

the ./ forces the command line to look in the current directory for the command

Hope that helps

mac osx and above, and all *nix OS's require you to type \
./adb
not
adb

by typing as the latter your telling bash to execute a program located in /bin or /usr/bin if your doing this as root then it will aslo look in /sbin which your are not wanting to do anyways
./ tells bash to execute the file located in the current working directory.
one time when I ran an older linux distro, for some reason ./ wouldnt work and I actually had to be outside of the directory needed so I wound up typing it like this from the android directory
./tools/adb shell ........

no clue why but thats what worked then. you shouldn't have to do that but its an idea.

You have the 2nd leak

Thank you, is there a difference from the second to the third and if so what is it please

the 3rd is the best one, has been improved a lot in battery life, bugs etc. I would recommend upgrading to it if you have already installed one of the first two leaks. I believe they all have the same bootloader, so if a downgrade method back to root is available it should work on all 3 leaks out so far.
 
Where can I find it at? And do I just put on I'm the roor I'd my SD card and do the same as i did for the second? Sorry if I'm bugging you I'm extremely new to all of this

You can find all you need to know here, and yes you install it just like you did whichever leak you have installed now. Put it on your SD card(making sure the old leak isn't still on there), turn phone off, hold the call and power button down at the same time etc etc you can find the whole process from this link. http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/69688-htc-droid-eris-os-2-1v3-download.html
