Thanks for the info. This is getting much more complicated than I planned. In the process, learned how to enable developer options on my phone. Maybe I can learn more from this than I expected.

All you really need for ADB is the ADB file. The sdk is good if you're doing more with Android, but not necessary.

This is how I setup ADB. Make a folder on your C drive & place the ADB file in that folder. Right click on my computer for properties & go to system variables. Set ADB as a path. Then plug in your phone & install any drivers. Making sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings, open command prompt and type "ADB devices". It should now show your device connected

Forgot about that.

You could just set a path in the batch file as well, or execute it from the same folder adb is in.

Thanks CJM for the info. I am working on setting it up per your instructions. This is a little over my head, but I am learning.

I can upload a zip of the basic files you'll need. Give me a few.

1. Download the attached ADB_Files.zip.
2. Create a new folder in root of C. ADB is the easiest to remember
3. Extract the files to ADB
4. Plug in your phone with a USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled
5. Open a new CMD screen (Win key + R, type in CMD)
6. Change the working directory to C:\ADB ( CD C:\ADB)
7. Type in ADB version, what displays? I see Android Debug Version XXX

Once you're that far, we'll keep going.

Shows "List of devices attached" and nothing below it.

I see my phone in File Explorer, and can copy to/from it easily. Use batch file now for backup to disks and thumb drives, just not phone.

What mode of USB is your phone in? MTP, Camera, Charging? The menu pull down at the top should tell you.
