so i had ADB (sdk 1.5 r3) set up on this laptop (in xp) it was working fine on my htc dream 32b, went to update the sdk to 1.6r1 and now neither my dream that worked before or the magic will be recognized as adb devices.
tried following the instructions in the adb thread utilizing usb deview, now i have 3 "drivers" listed per phone, usb composite, usb mass storage and adb, but mass storage and adb always show not connected (even when mass storage is enabled) on both phones, windows asks me if i want to "eject" the adb interface or the mass storage controller...
any insight would be appreciated, on a side note i have never gotten the mt3g (magic) to interface with adb but the dream has been used MANY times before and still functions on my personal laptop but this is the one at work
Make sure you uninstall the drivers from device manager, not just remove them.
the drivers install immeadeatly again after hitting uninstall in device manager when re plugging in the magic, doing that worked with the dream when i installed it the first time

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!
ADB stopped working on my desktop suddenly (It still works on my laptop) adb devices show nothing, and adb shell brings "error: device not found."
I've uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled many times, going over the process outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719&highlight=adb+noobs
Running KingxKxRom 2.2 (Hero rom)
I've looked on the forums for people with the same problem, but their solutions didn't work for me. Example: stopping the adb.exe process, etc
USB debugging is checked.
Device manager shows:
Android Phone:
Android Composite ADB Interface
USBDeview shows:
Android Phone: HTC Android Phone USB Device
Android Phone: USB Mass Storage Device
Android Phone: Android Composite ADB Interface
Any ideas how to fix this?
What OS are you running?
On my computer?
Windows XP
Have you tried removing your usb drivers in the device manager?
This same thing happened to me. I just uninstalled all of the usb ports, and when I reset my computer it recognized the ports, and everything seemed to work again.
I installed the usb drivers for my nook as per the instuctions in this guide: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB#Windows_XP.2C_Vista_and_7
It seems to have worked and in device manager "ANdroid composite ADB device" shows up under Android Phone.
But when i type adb devices when my nook is plugged in, i still dont get and devices there.
Im running 64 bit Windows 7 on an Intel Core i7 machine.
I couldn't get the ADB drivers to work via those instructions either. Luckily we have people around here that are MUCH smarter than I am.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008&highlight=adb+driver+install
Follow the instructions and install the software from that thread, worked for me great.
I am having the same problem here. It seems like everything is installing fine. I deleted the old usb mass storage device, installed everything, but then when I try to do adb devices, I get a blank line. No serial number. I then tried adb wireless, I connected using adb connect 192.168.2.4 and it said connect it was connected. I then ran adb devices and it spit back that it was connected to that ip address but it still doesn't give me a serial number.
This is what I get:
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>
Sorry for the multiple posts.
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>
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.
I've just recently flashed CM7.03 onto my nexus one.
As part of that procedure I had to install the android SDK and adb drivers to enable me to use fastboot.
Now when I plug my phone into my PC, it recognises an Android adb device, but I am unable to access mass storage. In device manager it sees a new android adb device instead of mass storage.
How to I get around this?!?! Is it a case of one or the other i.e. do I have to uninstall adb just to get mass storage back. It seems quite idiotic.
OK fixed it..
I had to go into device manager and change the driver of the android device back to USB driver instead of ADB driver.
I am amazed at how poorly documented some of this stuff is. e.g. how you have to manually add the sdk tools directory to your path. I realise its aimed at developers but really how hard is it to make these quirks clear up front, also that path issue is totally ridiculous, MS-DOS 5.0 called and its 1992 again lol. They give you a nice GUI repo system (I'm used to using yum and apt get in conventional linux) but fail to warn you that if you install the adb drivers you bork your mass storage capability. How hard would it have been to have a few lines of explanation in the GUI.
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.
