I looked in the original sdk zip file and did not see the tools folder there: here is what I see in the sdk zip file.
I get an error: The system cannot find the path specified when I typed in cd c:Android\tools
If I take off tools, it didn't give me that error message.
I appreciate you help.
that's the newest android sdk? seems like there is no file structure there. all files were dumped in one directory? there should be a few folders... one of them being tools... redownload from google.
That's the file I downloaded from the link on the first page of this thread: Download the Android SDK | Android Developers
I am downloading it again.

No luck, same file. Where did you download your SDK file from? What was your file structure?
-
did you try unzipping it? you're showing us the view in WinZIP... because that is where i got the sdk from
-
how do u backup your phone (so u can go back to it after you do this if something goes wrong or you need to take it back to vzw)? sorry if it's already been covered.

Understood, I typically just drag files from winzip to the folder I want them in. I will unzip using Winzip.

Does this look correct so far?

yes, but you may need to put "su" in the tools folder. just throw a copy in there.
