Help installing my G1 Drivers

I need a bit of help installing my Android G1 USB drivers included in the Android SDK.
When I attach my Android G1 to my pc, it doesn't ask to search for drivers to install. I believe it automatically installs the drivers, as I see "HTC Android Phone USB Device" in device manager. Though that shows up, when I check for attached devices via ADB "adb.exe included in sdk ( SDK\Tools\adb,exe )", it doesn't list my device.
What should I do from there?
PS: Is there any other application that I need? Is eclipse required.
Note: My Android G1 is unactivated ( I am trying to activate without Sim or data plan [ Via Wi-Fi I guess? ])

You need to go to the development option and check on USB Debugging, but I think you your problem is you have to download the android_usb_windows.zip for adb to see your device.

I have the USB Drivers, the issue is probably the fact that I don't have eclipse.
Maybe I should download it, yes?
{{ What ver. of Eclipse? Java EE or Java? }}

Eclipse is not required. Heck, the full sdk is not even required. There is a zip file floating around that is just adb.exe and adbwin.dll. Works fine.

In that case, how do I enable Device debugging.
I downloaded the SDK (includes adb)
where should I set the usb drivers and how do I enable them?

settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging

what instructions are you following?

go under device manager and check under universal serial bus controllers...its prolly listed under usb mass storage device. you gotta go find the correct one and install the drivers manually. also you gotta type in that setprop.blah blah nonsense on your g1 and the computer will recognize it. check the ADB setup for dummies thread

when i plug in my phone nothing happens.
I d/l the sdk but it doesnt ask for the usb thing.
PLEASE HELP

i have tried everything. adb isnt seenig my device

you have to make sure USB debugging is on inside Settings | Applications | Development

Edit: hehehe ^^^ what he said.
Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (check)

did you try typing
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>
?

yes hundreds of times. when i enter it and i plug into computer nothing happens. nothing pops up on vista. is there a way to maybe delete a driver for android I maybe installed already?
its that my pc isnt detecting my g1. it says no device detected. PLEASE HELP.
idk maybe I need a way to usb debug without activating?

i think its something with my driver. i might have installed it long ago? idk. any way to uninstall and reinstall?

If you have Windows Vista or 7 you can right click my comptuer > Manage > Device Manager (or just call up device manager in xp) and look for ADB Interface.
Right Click HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface and click Uninstall.
Unplug and replug the USB and it should re-detect.

nevermind me =)

Same problems
I am having the same problems as "samrozzi".
Phone is OK with Reboot command.
Will not recognize "Setprop Persist etc".
My device manager shows (HTC Android Phone USB Device) in "Disk Drives" but nothing about ADB interface.
Also you guys are saying
"Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (check)
Settings where? On the phone? not possible without getting past the registration screen.
In SDK ?
In ADB ?
On Computer somewhere ?
I have un-installed the driver for the phone. I reconnect and turn the phone on. The computer says HTC Google phone--hardware is installed and ready to use. Then it goes away and doesn't seem to be of any further use.
Please help, my brain is starting to sizzle from info-overload.

did you install the driver

USBDeview
Try this:
- get USBDeview : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
- unplug phone from PC
- in USBDeview delete all drivers that have anything to do with HTC
- plug phone in PC; drivers should now install correctly IF you have downloaded and installed them before
If the above procedure does not work reinstall drivers (from SDK) and start all over.

[Q] USB Mass Storage Device driver failed

Bought a LG P970 Optimus Black.
Installed LGMobile Support Tool into my
Windows 7 64bit.
Installed the LG 3.2.1 drivers using LGMobile Support Tool.
Then, I connected the phone to the computer.
Result of drivers installation:
LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device - Ready to use
LGE Android Platform USB Modem - Failed
LGE Mass Storage Device - Failed
LGE Android Platform USB GPS NMEA Port (COM6) - Ready to use
LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port (COM7) - Ready to use
I wasn't planning to use the phone as a modem, so that driver does not worry me, but the USB storage problem is annoying.
In the phone, it does look as it connected. It offers the option to activate USB storage on screen, and if I click on the button, it says it enabled it, but nothing happens in the computer side.
I tested to uninstall everything LGE from the computer and restart from scratch, but same problem.
Ideas?
Update:
The LGMobile Support Tool in Windows says the phone IS connected, and that the software in the phone is up to date.

Do You see the phone into section computer like Removable Disc?

No. Nothing at all.
In "Devices and Printers" I have:
Under Devices:
LG Android Phone
LG Android (Modem)
LG Android (Serial)
LG Android (NMEA)
Under Unspecified:
LGE Bluetooth TransPort (COM4)
LGE Virtual Modem
In the "Device Manager" I have 1 "USB Mass Storage Device", with a yellow warning sign.
Under its Properties, in Device Status, it says: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
If I try to "Update Driver" Windows says that the right driver is already installed.

FIXED !!
Updated LG driver to 3.5.
Still didn't work.
Then, I turned off the phone.
Removed the battery.
Put the battery back.
Turned on the phone.
Connected it to USB.
This time the USB driver started ok, and when I activated the USB storage I was able to see the drive under "Computer" in Windows Explorer.
I had turned the phone off and on before, so I think removing the battery did something that simply turning off and on wouldn't do.

USB 3.0 External Storage Device driver not getting Installed- [Solved]
Issue: USB storage device is not working on my computer, be it a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 it just doesn't install the driver for storage device and my USB mouse and webcam does work.Everytime I plug in a USB flash drive of USB 3.0 External hard drive it beeps and gives error message that the device driver could not be installed.
Here is the steps I took to troubleshoot this issue and it got fixed.
1.Open registry by going to Run-> Type Regedit.
and Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}
Highlight this key ({36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} ), on the right pane, and then check if “Upperfilters” and “Lowerfilters” value are present. If so, please right click on the values and select "Delete" to remove them.
2. Now go to "C:\windows\inf" folder and check if these three files USBSTOR.SYS, usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf are available.If it was renamed change the name as I wrote them or if they are not available copy them from "C:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3"
And then go to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Drivers" and make sure you have USBSTOR.SYS and usbd.sys available if not copy them again from
"C:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3"
and paste it to Drivers folder.
3. Open Registry editor by going to Run-> typing Regedit and Navigate to the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR" and ensure that the Start value is 3. and restart the system.
It will work..

thx

[Q] Phone won't connect via ADB

Hi all.
I'm trying to S-Off my HTC first, but I can't get the phone to connect to ADB while in debug mode. It connects to ADB fine while in recovery mode, but apparently it needs to be in debug mode for moonshine to work. The phone is unlocked and rooted and I installed the HTC drivers. In the device manager it comes up as an Android device in recovery mode, but as a portable storage device in debug mode.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Does it show up when typing adb devices in the command prompt?

Thanks for the reply.
No, not unless the phone is in recovery mode. Fastboot works as well. However when the phone is on and in debug mode I get nothing.

Hmmm sounds like what happened to me once it was a frustrating situation but all that was needed was an update to the ADB drivers for the device. Sadly I'm away from my computer right now so it'll be a while until I can actually whip something up to help you, sorry

Try to force ADB to redetect with adb kill-server.

Okay, let me know when you have some time. Thanks again!
I tried the kill-server command to no avail. The computer just plain doesn't recognize it as an Android device. I will try on my Linux computer and see if that makes any difference.

Is your computer windows 7, 8 x32 or x64bit? I can probably do it today if you've got a windows 7 x64bit computer since I wont have to do much looking

I'm running win 7 64 bit. Thanks again for your help!

NOTE THAT YOUR PHONE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED DURING THIS PROCESS
I already searched & set up the update folder so you don't have to do all the dirty work d:\
Ok Well I'm just going to make this quick and not really got through the basics like how to unzip things because if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be trying to get s-off on your phone anyway so I'll just assume you already know how.
Step 1. open control panel select hardware and sound and open Device Manager with the administrative logo one the side.
Step 2. Near the top or somewhere on this list there's supposed to be a drop down that reads "adb devices, adb android, adb, android, adb drivers etc. Mine shows Android USB Devices it actually just varies based on computer I can't really go to the specifics of it but I'm sure you can find it.
Step 3. Select that dropdown menu and right click whatever shows (there should only be one thing) and then select Update Driver Software and choose the option that says Browse my computer for driver software and locate the htc drivers folder which should already be unzipped, select the whole folder and have the option to include subfolders checked. click next or whatever it says to finish
Step 3 Now you must remove your device from the Portable Devices dropdown menu to ensure all drivers are detected for the phone, to do this right click on HTC First and just select remove, wait until it's done. and now just reconnect your device and let all the drivers install and it should now be done!
Make sure you look at the screenshots I attached to make sure you don't accidentally remove or update something else also because that's where the drivers folder is an i'm pretty sure you'll need that
A reboot of the computer is recommended btw
Ask questions if you have any

Wow, that's quite explanatory, thank you! Unfortunately I only see the category ADB Devices when the phone is connected and in recovery mode, and I only see the category Portable Devices when the phone is connected, booted, and in debug mode. (Neither of these categories are visible when the phone is disconnected from the computer.) I did however try installing the drivers you gave me with the phone connected and in recovery mode, but to no avail; after the phone boots ADB Devices disappears and Portable Devices appears. Uninstalling Portable Devices doesn't help either; it just reinstalls when I reconnect the phone.
I am trying to get the category ADB Devices to appear in the Device manager when the phone is turned on and in debug mode so that I can use ADB while the phone is booted.

Got it working. I had to go to device manager > portable devices > HTC First and replace the driver with Generic USB Composite Device Driver.
Boom. Everything working. Weird.

How exactly did you replace the HTC First driver with the Generic USB Composite Device Driver?

adb devices

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.
