How do i cd to tools directory
what do i type/do

[mrZoSo]

cd = change directory(folder)

So if you installed the sdk to the android directory, like in my write-up you would type:
cd \android\tools

If you just want the adb shell, and you set the path correctly, then you should be able to type adb shell at the prompt, no need to cd to elsewhere.

Make sure the path is correct and check the USB debugging check box on the phone, under applications.

cool, the debugging check on the phone was it. now i can't "su". do i need the super user update zip file? (btw...i don't want to root)

[mach330]

i can't seem to do "su" command. any ideas why I keep getting permission? is there a step i'm missing?

[mrZoSo]

You need to root your phone.

Interesting stuff for sure. Confuses me (and I'm not totally computer illiterate) enough to where I'll just read because of anyone can screw up a perfectly good phone, I can.
