Hi Cheryl: I think 'wait-for-device' sort of works :). For instance, this command works for me:
adb wait-for-device shell getprop However, when I attempt to use 'adb wait-for-device install', I see the same error as you. It seems wait-for-device only waits long enough for device to come online, but not long enough for the whole system to fully boot. Thanks for the report, I've filed a bug on your behalf here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=842 Regards, Brett.
