I'm must be losing my computer touch, but I tried and I'm really lost. I can't get past this step:

rocess:
- Open command prompt
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- cd c:/Droid2Root

When I type adb my cmd prompt says the command is not recognized. I must doing something wrong. I have downloaded the sdk tool and extracted, I already have the motorola drives and I got the droid2root extracted. I really need a simpler step by step walkthrough.

@Jedidroid - I think you are having the same problem I did following the instructions. I stayed in the folder of my adb and added to the push. Example - When you followed cd c:/Droid2Root I skipped that step and then changed the next line to adb push c:/Droid2Root/Superuser.apk and so on for the pushes.

So i just did this if i pick the app it doesnt open up asking your superuser requests and i cannot choose uninstall on the bloatware apps however i downloaded a file manger and i can edit root files any one have any ideas?

sounds like the problem i had

What Is ADB And How To Install It? [Android]

go there and follow the steps to install adb into the path in the enironment variables

So i just did this if i pick the app it doesnt open up asking your superuser requests and i cannot choose uninstall on the bloatware apps however i downloaded a file manger and i can edit root files any one have any ideas?

root only allows your to delete the bloatware if you go into the system files and delete or rename the apk files.

and only apps that require root will ask for superuser requests, not all apps.

Oh I c what you mean thanks

When I do the 'adb devices' step, it returns "list of devices attached" and shows nothing connected. Seems I am missing something.

Help?
