Hi,
I tried your advice today, and interestingly the 'adb' command is not recognized on my laptop. I am running W7 64b.

What is your advice to get around this problem?

Here is the screen capture of the error on my computer.

Fred, you need to have installed ADB on your pc for it to work.

Are you rooted or running stock?

When you plug up your NC to your laptop, remember to unlock the NC so it can go into "usb mode". If you don't get "remount failed" in command window then your adb is not talking to your NC.

Will this installation only work if the NC is rooted?
