Instructions for setting up Adb/Fastboot (windows)
1. On your phone go to Settings/Development and make sure USB debugging is ON and plug it in via the usb.. New phones go the settings about phone then click on the build number 10 times then back out to settings again and you will see developer options right above about phone. click on developer options then select usb debugging from there. also known as adb debugging.
2. Install drivers on your PC. Try pda.net for the drivers. Install the program by hitting “Run” and follow the instructions. You can remove it at a later time.
3. Download the file at the bottom of these instructions to your desktop and extract the contents. There is 1 folder and a install note (these instructions) that should extract. You can use a program called 7-ZIP to extract if needed (google it, its free and a great tool).
4. Open your “Start” menu and click on “My Computer”. Then choose “Local Disk C:”.(You can now click and drag the adb folder you extracted to the C: drive.
5.Open a command prompt and type cd\adb and hit enter. You should now see something that looks like this C:\adb>
6.Type adb devices then hit enter in the command prompt and it should list your device.
7. You can also type adb reboot bootloader which will put the device into bootloader mode. Now type fastboot devices then hit enter in the command prompt an it should list your device. (you must be in the bootloader for fastboot to recognize your device)
You should now be ready to send commands to your phone via ADB or Fastboot. You will need to repeat steps 5-6 anytime you want to use ADB/Fastboot. To send a file using Adb or fastboot make sure to put the file in your “adb” folder before giving the command to send it to your device.

Logcat is the command to view the internal logs of the Android system. Viewing logs is often the best way to diagnose a problem, and is required for many issues. This way you’ll find out what apps are doing in the background without you noticing.
