This is not a very good article for 'newbies' and should not be on the front page and promoted by the editor. In his piece he states that that 'not everyone's a whiz when it comes to the command line when it comes to android' This is very true, I have always shied away from this sort of thing for fear of bricking my phone but thought I'd give this a go as it looked pretty straight forward.
The fact of the matter is that the article is not for newbies and expects you to know a lot more than a newbie would. Also, most of the replies aren't very helpful, posting 'great, that worked for me' does not help anyone, please point to or quote which part helped you.
A re-written and corrected article telling you when the phone should or shouldn't be plugged into your pc, de-bugging on/off, which drivers should be installed, potential errors you may get and what to do if you do get them would be great.
Like most people i'm getting:
'cannot read sideload'
'device not connected'
Just because we're 'newbies' we're not idiots, just lacking in confidence or nervous of damaging our phones.
Thankyou
(I guess I'll get a torrent of abuse now)
