I have build number 2.27.651.5 CL169236, It tells me: 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. something is not right here

[AndroidAdvocate]

@ledgrip it says that because your not in the folder where adb is

@toxic2ful Sorry you have to downgrade for the methods I have up. the andrrot app works with builds ending in .5 or .6 but theres another app called Z4 root I think thats the name and I heard it works but havent played with my epic lately since my Epic . but if you still need help message me.

@ducksrule39 If you followed video step by step try restarting your computer and make sure again.

@ledgrip read the text file "ADB has moved" in the tools folder of the SDK it will tell you how to fix it

I get "List of adb devices attached" then the rest doesn't work

@Lyricalassasins860 - the same thing is happening to mine, did you get a response for this, or did you ever figure it out?

[JElizondo22]

i get everything your doing and when it gets to the part where it unpacks the revoked files and the big revoked word comes out on the CMD screen i check my phone on the app tray and i dont see my SU app why is that? and i did the RUU to convert to .5 version...any clue or help?

[kftisme09]

After it said unpack in command prompt it never said ready to 'su' like yours did. What should I do?
