Honeycomb: How I Got My Calendar to Work Again

After deciding to try Phiremod (cwm zip), not liking it and switching back to Honeycomb, my calendar disappeared and I couldn't get it working again. I have NEVER been able to get ADB to work correctly on any of my computers, nor had any of my computers find an ADB Device in the Device manager despite my numerous attempts of the USB driver installs and NUMEROUS web posting on people having problems with ADB connections.

So after reformatting and reinstalling and re-nootering five different times without success, I FINALLY found my personally working answer with a combination of several peoples/posts help.
  1. I uninstalled the SDK, Java, etc.
  2. I downloaded/installed nookcolor-easyADB on my XP computer.
  3. I installed one of the ADB wireless widgets from the Market.
  4. I copied the files within THIS ZIP file to the directory C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
  5. I opened the wireless widget, and quickly wrote down the IP and port it gave me.
  6. I open the DOS prompt, and typed "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]
  7. Then typed "adb connect the [IP Address:Port]"
    IT CONNECTED!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
  8. Then I typed "HoneyGCalInstall"
  9. It did its thing and I FINALLY got my calendar back and syncing correctly!

What a LONG week! If only I was like NORMAL people, this would have been MUCH, MUCH easier!
