Need a little (lot) of help, I searched and still wasn't able to find a solution. I rooted using unrevoked 3, installed the SDK and was able to remove quite a bit of the bloatware successfully from my EVO. However I missed like 2 programs I wanted to remove. Now when I boot in to recovery I get a "error: device not found" message. I have not changed anything since I was able to successfully remove the other bloatware, I have USB debugging enabled, the SDK is installed and I have ADB setup in my environment variables. I am in the correct folder when I am using the command prompt. I tried removing and reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling HTC Sync, and all no go. I switched USB ports, and I verified that the port is working because it will let me go in to disk drive mode when on. (BTW I am on windows 7 32 bit) I also get an error when I try to use HTC sync (not that I actually wanted to use it, just trying to test alternatives) and it remains "disconnected". Can't figure out what to try next...any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!

You want to run the adb devices command in ./andorid-sdk/tools

Just make sure thats right. I had a similar occurrence trying to run it in shell.

Hmm, tried that, still having the issue. Did cd /android-sdk/tools and tried adb devices, but my EVO is not listed. Tried adb shell again and same device not found error message...

your slashes are wrong...

cd c:\android/android-sdk/tools

Try that...

Since when does Windows accept slashes in cmd in place of backslashes?

Make sure the sdk folder is on the root of your C drive and try this...
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

I believe you...

Im just accustom to writing it correctly with both forward and back slashes...

But there are no slashes in Windows directory syntax. They are all backslashes. It's really annoying because EVERY OTHER OS I've used uses slashes.

So, again...

Since when does Windows accept slashes in cmd in place of backslashes?

I just want to know when this change occurred...
