Maybe getting my phone on Monday will be good. Everything is getting figured out LOL
CMD promt wont recognize adb commands
As a noobie, this is starting to make a little sense. Only problem.... When im in my command promtp I can run the adb command to find my device which it does. once i get to the "adb push" command, the get the message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc..." any ideas??

If you do a dir, do you see adb listed? Also, it seemed like I had to do this:
adb push c:/su /sdcard/su
(inserting the full path for where the su is located on my hard drive)
adb push c:/su /sdcard/su
(inserting the full path for where the su is located on my hard drive)
adb commands
Ok, I think i figured adb out..... I was running the adb command out of c:/fasinateRoot,(what I named it) rather then c:/fascinateRoot/tools (where it appears adb is located..... Does it sound correct in saying that adb needs to be run out of tools, rather then the main folder?

yes, if i run a dir command from my sdk tools location i do see adb.exe listed. im guessing that means i need to run adb out of tool then?
Yes it does unless you actually added adb to your path in your environment variables.
Edit: I went ahead and removed the environment info and made it even easier in the instructions so you can see that you have to use the full path name. ie C:\fascinate\ and C:\android-sdk\tools hope this helps

Ok, ill try that.... thanks for the info. On another note, does anyone know if the rooting without a pc works on this phone as it does on the Vibrant by using the update file?
This keeps getting better and better. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. It's extremely helpful.
Ok, this really helped.... must be somewhere on the right track now. I got all the way through it but must have done something wrong in the process. did a battery pull and tried a second time. This time i get to the very last command "adb install C:\fascinate\Superuser.apk" and i get the message [install failed already exists].
Maybe it worked the 1st time and am now rooted, but don't know how to check.... Any ideas?
A really cool root required app in the market, is AdFree. It blocks ads in web pages. If you are able to run it, then you have root. That's one way you can test.
