Ok i made a post and it was moved to trash and it says i dont have permission to post there so ill just move it here.....
Ok well i have been trying for like 2 hours now to get ADB to work. I followed all the guides, installed the 1.5 SDK and everything even did the Enviroment Variable thing as well. When i plug in my G1 i dont get any popup of a new device or anything. In device manager there is not ADB as well just Android Phone and when i uninstall it, it installs again on its own when i plug the phone in again. I went to cmd and typed in adb shell but i get "device not found".
Anyone know whats wrong? Btw im using Windows Vista SP1
I went into fastboot and that gave me the new driver notification so i have fastboot working but when i go to ADB i get device not found and device manager finds my phone as a universal usb device or w/e. Why wont this work?!?!?!?
It sounds like you didn't install the drivers.
Read this (I wrote it). You should have adb working in no time.
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/what-is-adb-made-easy-17732/
Did you update the driver for the phone (should currently be showing as one of the USB Composite Device, IIRC) with the ADB driver included in the SDK (android_usb.inf in <sdk root directory>\usb_driver\)?
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Vista, alternatively, you can try the 64-bit signed driver found here. Also, you can try the updated driver I have attached.
Well, if you used your phone as a card reader at any point before you enabled USB debugging, then you'll have to uninstall the USB Mass Storage Device associated with your phone first. After that, unplug and plug the USB cord back in and it'll install the USB Mass Storage Device and then it'll ask about the ADB interface. That's your chance to install the driver that everyone is talking about but didn't spend the time to explain how to get there if you were in this situation...
never mind i got it. I used a program to uninstall all the Android USB drivers then i plugged it back in and it worked. Thanks for the help guys!

Hey all, I hope this is the right forum.
I installed the Samsung Drivers on Windows 7 x64 and attempted to install the google Android SDK drivers. I managed to get ADB working, my phone is in debug mode and I've managed to do a lot of cool things and run linux commands with BusyBox. Problem is though, windows keeps screwing it up, so currently "adb devices" will not always show my device, even if I have debug on and such. The phone says USB connected when I plug it in, but after a couple minutes, windows says something to the effect of "Could not install USB Device" or "One of these devices has malfunctions, windows does not recognize it". And in device manager, I cannot seem to get it installed under PCI devices like most guides say, it installs under USB. This sux
I apologize if this is the wrong place, if so, I would be happy if a moderator could move this.
Please note, I think adb was just disconnecting and the solution was simply to type in...
adb connect 127.0.0.1
Thanks
Once i got my new nook color i rooted it with auto nooter, and im running 1.0.1, on my previous nook i rooted it and adb worked right then, now i cant get adb access, im using the same computer and everything, all thats diferent is its a new nook. I have full root access and can install apps and everything. Any help?
Seems to be a common problem. You can launch NookColorTools and fix it temporarily. Go to "Development" and then unchecked and then recheck the USB Debugging box.
Ok I've been doing that for a while and finnaly got the message that USB debugging is only for development. It works now......

Get ADB wireless, it works great.
I've had zero luck using usb adb, but adb wireless works great!
I was having similar issues so after many many attempts I just decided to go with adb wireless and would definitely recommend going that route if you can't get it working over usb.
Yeah, getting ADB to work requires a lot of uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and unplugging/replugging the device, it's very temperamental.
can someone link me to a link on how to use/setup adb wireless

it's free in the market and once you download it set up is easy. i've used it through my mac terminal as well as through ubuntu. like the posters above i had the hardest time getting adb to work via usb.

once you've installed adb on your computer type "adb" at your terminal prompt and you should list of commands there.
here's the link to Android Developer's ADB website (this also lists commands):

files and installation directions can be found here:

Good luck!
Ok so me being my dumb self forgot to install the adb drivers for the nook....... im dumb haha, but i cant get them to install, every time i uninstall the mass storage driver so i can install the proper driver it automatically re-installs it....... HELPPPPPPP
Is there any way to download this to the SD and install it from there? I've upgraded to a version of froyo, which doesn't have the market, and my command line won't work after swapping nooks.
I can't seem to get mine to work with either adbwireless or via usb.
Using USB I get this:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
Here is what I get if I try to connect using adbwireless:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.2.4:5555
already connected to 192.168.2.4:5555
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.2.4:5555 device
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
But it doesn't show a serial number like all the HowTo's says it should. What am I missing?
EDIT: HALLELUJAH!!
I fixed it. Actually I didn't fix it, I just followed some instructions from another user that was having the same problem and finally figured out the very weird thing that installing the drivers did. Anyway, here is the solution from hacku:

I followed your instructions to a T and I still can't get ADB to see my NC. After uninstalling all instances of Nook in my device manager, unplugging it and plugging it back in, it adds all the same devices:
Under Disk Drives it lists B&N Ebook Disk USB Device (twice)
Under Portable Devices it lists MyNookColor
Under USB Controllers it lists USB Mass Storage Device
My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Running Nook Color 1.1.0 rooted and overclocked to 1.1Ghz. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2:
So I decided to pull the MicroSD card to simplify things. Uninstalled all instances of Nook from Device Manager and scanned for new hardware. This time I noticed that Windows detected it as a Nook, but then would install the drivers and it would show the same USB Mass Storage Device and the two instances of B&N Disk USB Device. I also noticed that by uninstalling the driver of the USB Mass Storage Device automatically deleted the other two instances under Disk Drives. So I updated the USB Mass Storage Device driver and this time I was able to install the drivers provided, but now it only shows up as an Android Phone > Android ADB Interface (not Composite), but I'm still not able to see it under adb devices.
Help?
EDIT 3:
GOT IT WORKING!!!
For those of you having this same problem this is what I did:
1. Right Click Android ADB Interface (it won't say Composite)
2. Select Update Update Driver Software
3. Click on Browse My Computer For Driver Software
4. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
5. In the box that pops up click on USB Composite Device
6. Click Next
It now installed the USB Composite Device driver and changes your Android Phone to Android Composite ADB Device.
Open up Command Prompt and type adb kill-server then adb devices and your Nook Color will now show up.
Hope this helps some of you out.
This thing really needs to be pinned somewhere, preferably with IOMonster's first post. There's so many of us starting on this from scratch not able to get adb to see the device. har02's crosspost of hacku's post is what finally got it to work for me. there's a ton of junk out there that just doesn't make sense, and the installing the second driver on the "android interface" is a step that is completely missing from just about every post on this topic.
Aside from that, this forum is what got me buying a nook and happily learning all sorts of cool new things!
THANK you so much har02052, this marks the end of a 6 hour nook-fixing marathong....ahhhhh
Hello
Im brand new to Android and adb/fastboot.
I have looked at tutorials on youtube all day, and for everybody else their devices just pops up when you type adb devices.
I get nothing
I have done it correctly, because I get all the commands when I type adb/fastboot.
Im running windows8, could that be the problem?
Do I need some kind of extra USB drivers for my google glasses?
I do find my glasses as a camera tho.
EDIT:
So after watching a few more tutorials I understood my problem. Its windows8 usb drivers thats not correct.
I have tried to install correct drivers and edit the .ini files that need editing, but now I encountered a new problem.
Windows wont let me install correct usb drivers for google glass.
When I have device manager open, windows have already installed them as “Portable device – Glass1″
I click uninstall and they disaper from my device list, once I click “scan for new hardware” I can see that they reapper on my device list as other devices. Within 2sec windows autoinstall them as “portable device -glass1″ again.
So I try “update driver software” but this dont work either, I select the correct file and path, but I keep getting this message “windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date”.
Im running windows8.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT2:
As far as all the tutorial movies tell me to disable driver signing I have done so.
If all of the adb commands were working, then chances are you need to enable debugging on your Glass. Settings >> Device info >> Turn on debug
Update:
The way to bypass windows8 and installing usb drivers, is that I need to use the option "Have Disk" and then install usb drivers that way.
All works fine now.
I'm looking to port app restores - mostly game saves - from my old phone to the Droid Turbo. I've used Helium in the past but I can't get the Turbo to connect to Windows 7 yet. I've been trying to use the drivers linked from the Helium URL and here, but without success.
Anyone have luck tracking down USB drivers?
Any suggestions other than Helium?
Update:
Looks like the Motorola drivers started working as soon as I posted this (of course...).
This one was driving me nuts the last two days. On Win8.1 x64, the driver wouldn't auto-load when the device was plugged in. Until I saw your edit reason, I didn't even think to go through the manual device list and select the driver manually. "ADB Interface/Mot Composite ADB Interface" worked for me, as well.
Also, if you change your USB Storage mode on the phone, it may also change how the ADB Interface is detected. I had to manually add the ADB Interface driver a second time when I turned on MTP mode for the USB Storage connection. I had had it previously disabled while trying to figure out the ADB issues, once I had ADB working, I re-enabled MTP and subsequently Windows "forgot" the ADB device driver again.
For others: I had to go through the device manager, pick the unknown adb device and update drivers, pick drivers, select the clockworkmod section on the left and instead of mot composite I had to use the first option, android composite adb interface. Now my mtp connection works. Haven't tried reconnecting yet so it may well forget the drivers again, but at least I know what to do now!
Need the drivers from google sdk kit. Just google search installing adb drivers. I used helium fine.
I am so frustrated right now I don't even know what to do. Here is where I am and I welcome any ideas. I have read and tried every suggestion I can think of.
I have a Win 8 laptop I want to connect the Nexus to so that I can sideload 5.1. Currently the phone is still factory stock.
With debug turned off, my computer sees the nexus and I can transfer files. It sees it as an MTP device
With USB DEbug checked, my computer no longer sees it at all.
I have the latest android sdk installed.
When I go into platform tools and run adb devices- it is blank, nothing in either state (debug on or off).
Also it is not recognized in "Fastboot devices" when in fastboot mode, so the computer is not seeing it.
I have used USBDEview to delete drivers, then reinstalled using the latest Google USB drivers. no Help.
I have tried using motorola device manager to install proper drivers, no help.
Tried using Koush universal drivers and it did not help.
Thank you for any ideas you may have.
Try using "Nexus Root Toolkit" to set up the drivers for you. It has a driver setup tool.

I just went through that a couple hours ago. I ended up having to go in the device manager, and manually point it to look for the drivers in the platform-tools folder of windows sdk. Once I did that, the little yellow triangle went away, and all was well, adb and fastboot worked as normal. Hopefully that works for you too.
