Droid Explorer Link: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/50997

SDK Download Link: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r08-windows.zip

Once you open the command prompt, you must switch to the directory you placed your SDK files. For me, they are in the root of drive C so I typed:

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

ADB Commands in case you can't see them:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache
cd /data/dalvik-cache
exit
exit

@scottmac019 Ahhhhh. Yes this requires you download the sdk files. I'm going to make a video today for what it means when people talk about the sdk file to folks understand what they are and where to put them and why they are important.

Here is a link. Download this, open the zip and extract them to the root of your c drive...

[scottmac019]

@MobileTechVideos I am not seeing a link to the zip....

[MobileTechVideos]

@scottmac019 Sorry I had to post it in the more info section. They won't allow links in regular comments. Check the more info section.

@MobileTechVideos How are you attempting to run the adb commands though? Are you opening a command prompt, then changing to the directory of the tools folder, then trying to run adb devices to verify your phone is connected?

[MobileTechVideos]

@MobileTechVideos Tell you what, let me just make a video on how to download, extract and then use the SDK w/ adb commands. I'll have it up sometime in the next few hours. :)

[scottmac019]

I think the problem is I don't have that directory. Is there something I need to install on the Laptop to install that directory for the tools?

Thanks

[MobileTechVideos]

@scottmac019 So you don't have the adb.exe file? I've seen it end up in other places of the SDK with the newer packages. I'd do a quick search in the android-sdk-windows directory for adb and then move any files you find to the tools directory as thats the easier place. See my one click root video for android 2.1 as I contained a link to a batch file for a different tutorial that just happens to include the adb.exe and associated dlls.

Does anyone know if this is possible without rooting your phone?

@RescuePits1 - I got it!! I completed your cmd instructions, then reinstall DE. Its working now!

[RescuePits1]

I have windows 7 64x, I would run the cmd and get "adb server is out of date. killing...", so i uninstalled Droid Explorer... and now, it shows my Samsung Infused device attached. My question..... Is there another way to do the screencast other than Droid Explorer?

[anka326]

i dont get it -_-

[metalmlo0352]

My phone used to be rooted, but the screen broke after the update and before I could reroot it. I can't seem to root it again (I assume it isn't in charge mode). Is there a way that I can get it into charge mode?  The digitizer and screen are both busted so I can't see anything or interact in any way (except power, vol up/down)...Thanks!

My touchscreen is broken and I cannot enable debugging mode, but I'm rooted. Is there a way to remotely enable debugging on my phone?

Also, I'm having problems running the ADB command.
