How To: Setting Up ADB on Mac OSX for your Droid X

[pjo1966]

I can now see my phone listed in the Terminal window. I followed the instructions [video=youtube;TMcMVDUbpis]http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=TMcMVDUbpis&vq=hd720#t=87"]here[/video] and had better luck.

update to the sdk

The SDK has moved adb to /platform-tools - they left a note:

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/


If you don't see this directory in your SDK,
launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)
and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"


Please also update your PATH environment variable to
include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can
execute adb from any location.

Once I did this, I was able to run adb. Also, I have no .bashrc, i updated the .bash_profile and ran '. .bash_profile' with bash in login mode 'bash --login'. May have been overkill, but if it helps anyone else out I can now run adb from anywhere and my phone is rooted. I figured better safe than sorry.

Good luck

After editing .bash_profile try the following command "source ~/.bash_profile" instead of ". .bashrc"

Works for me!
