i ran the adb again and also ran "adb devices" which you will see the results at end of the cmdAttachment 41666

ok. when in command prompt type cd C:\
then find the exact name of the folder you extracted the tool to. for example i named my test as vivow_hack_2.3.4

then type cd vivow_hack_2.3.4
inside that folder is /tools/win/adb.exe along with a few other necessary tools.

type cd tools\win

then you can finally run adb devices

Ok looks like adb is running correctly I would go to the xda link and manually input each line of code. You can copy paste. You will have to type cd .. twice in order to get back to the main folder. Then run each line of code.

so far i've been able to follow but inputing them manually is one thing i've never done

It sounds like you need to do some research. I would recommend going to the xda link and read the relevant thread before going too far.

I am really sorry about this AW. When I did this it ran automatically and I didn't have to touch the phone or computer. I have tried several times to replicate what you are getting and each time it runs through without a problem.

It works for some with no kinks and some people run into problems. It would be best to understand what is happening instead of running a series of programs without knowing what is going on behind the curtains.

could it be something with my computer itself?

Very possible. The ideal situation is to extract the zip to a new folder by itself. Then move it to the root of your c drive on your pc. Open your cmd prompt to the new folder then run the .cmd file. You may want to also redownload the file and check the md5 to verify it.
