I'm not the most tech savy person, so I'm learning as I go.
I'm trying to remove some bloat and when I go to the mount /system, how do i run adb shell?
When i type it into cmd i get ('adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file)



Thanks again for the tut, I'll be donating.
Congrats on getting rooted!

Connecting your phone to a different computer or using a different SD card will not cause you to lose root. The only way you could loose root now is by an OTA update, or if you specifically flashed your phone to return to stock.

You have to install the android sdk. In the downloads section of the guide you can get the first link (the zip file) or download it directly from Google:
Android SDK | Android Developers

If you download from google, unzip the directory "android-sdk-windows" to c:\ and rename it "sdk." Then run sdk-setup.exe

adb is in the sdk\tools directory.
