Problems with ADB install..

Hello all,
I have been following the guide posted by Nephron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 but am having a few problems with my computer recognising my G1 as an ADB device...
My computer's OS is Vista. I have followed the guide to the letter, have downloaded the SDK and unzipped it to C:\ root. I have checked my phone and ensured that 'USB Debugging' is checked. My computer doesn't try to install the Android 1.0 driver (as the original drivers are already installed) and my device is ready to use as a storage device - HOWEVER it is not acknowledging it is an ADB device.
I have tried using USBDeview but it won't let me uninstall the 3 already installed Android drivers. I have even tried manually uninstalling them through the taskbar USB device manager. Even when I uninstall them and re-connect my phone, it automatically installs the standard drivers and doesn't give me an option to select the SDK drivers.
Hope that makes sense to someone. How can I install these damn SDK/ADB drivers on my G1?! Thanks.

Try this...
Remove every mass storage device except your phone (Any usb memory sticks, external HDD's, other phones, etc)
Open the start menu, right click on 'Computer', click 'Manage', and you may need to click continue here.
On the next page, click on 'Device Manager' on the left hand side. In the list on the right, open up the tree for 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'
Find 'USB Mass Storage device' in the list. Right click it, click 'Uninstall'
Click 'Action' at the top, then 'Scan for hardware changes'.
If it all goes well, you should now be asked to locate a driver, point the the Android USB driver. Good luck.
PS, this is all from memory of the issues I had, so if you get stuck, post back .

Worked a charm, thanks!
(Mods...can this be merged to the NEWBIE Q&A thread for ADB/Fastboot etc...more useful place for it than here!)

Glad I could help .

OK...
New problem...
I am using command prompt on vista, entered the following:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools
adb devices (shows my device listed as HT845KV02724)
adb shell (shows a # on the following line)
However....when I enter adb it returns with /sbin/sh: adb: not found .....what have I done wrong? I have checked that the SDK is in C:\ and have downloaded the SDK again just to be sure. What do I need to change???

Once you type adb shell, you're in a terminal on your phone, you can type shell commands there, you need to type exit before typing adb again.
Basically, it's working as intended .

O.S
What O.S you had this working on?

@th3fallen
143!!

I got it working on win7 Ultimate version

This works for Windows 7 Home Premium Edition as well.

In order to get ADB working on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) I had to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (I may have created this file for the G1) and add:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
What I was seeing was the device would sort of show up when I ran adb devices, but it would list ????????? as the ID and no permissions.

I was able to access it by using dream, magic and adb testing device didnt need any specific driver.

I did this to get it working on win 7 ultimate x64

You need the latest refresh of the drivers (and tools for updated fastboot, etc.) from the SDK. If you go to a Windows command prompt and run Android, assuming the tools directory is in your path, you can select the update for both. It will fail in updating tools, since you are using an app in it, but don't close the app, just reapply at that point and it will work on the second go. Then when you install the N1, you will have the drivers you need to install as before.

Not meaning to argue with you but what I was saying is I have had no issues doing anything via adb with it as a magic I have done fastboot as well hey maybe its just working for me.

Hmm...I have that already in my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (mine has .rules, not -rules...I'm assuming that's a typo in your post?) and I'm still coming up with ?????????? as the device and no permissions, all attempts to do anything with adb result in it telling me I don't have permission to do these things.

Yah that was a typo.. The no permissions error appears to me that adb doesn't have access to the /dev/ devices used. I'm not at home so I cannot lookup what device is created and used in /dev/ for you to check the permissions. I know I killed the adb server and restarted it a few times while trying to get mine to work, along with updating to the latest sdk. So you may want to try those things, you could also try running adb as root and seeing if that fixes it (if so, then it's a simple permission error with udev not creating it with correct permissions).

Alrighty, I think I got it. I'm no udev expert (in fact, I'm rather useless at it), but this worked for me.
1) Make sure USB debugging is turned on on the phone.
2) Plug the phone into the USB port on the machine.
3) Make sure /etc/udev/51-android.rules has
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

in it.
4) run
adb kill-server

5) As root, run
service udev restart

6) run
adb start-server

Worked for me to get the device recognized.

Hey guys, I have the Android 1.5 SDK/ADB installed on my computer.. so I don't know what will happen when I mount my N1 (haven't tried yet). I want to be able to mount my N1 normally without ADB or anything, 'cause I'm not going to root it for a while. Thanks!

Confirmed on Vista
I can confirm that the instructions in the OP work on Vista. Thanks a lot, th3fallen.

Nothing will happen, ADB doesn't start interacting with your phone without you explicitly telling it to. Also, if you don't have debugging turned on on your phone, then it won't even if you do explicitly tell it to. Feel free to mount the drive on it.

ADB and Root
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get ADB to recognize my phone. ADB is all set up correctly, I have it updated (I believe) to the most recent version. I installed the updated USB driver and I see the "Android Phone" in my device manager. I have USB Debugging checked off in my phone settings. ADB worked fine for my G1, but it doesn't recognize my Nexus One.
I shouldn't have to root the phone to have ADB working should I? Can anybody think of something I overlooked? I am running Windows XP Professional SP3

Okay, so I navigated to the "1.1-nexusone-superboot" folder in the command prompt and tried
Code:
adb-windows devices
and my device showed up. Now I want to move those files to where I originally had my adb files in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools so that all I have to type is
Code:
adb devices
to have my phone listed. I tried replacing the files in my \tools folder and renaming them to what they were named before, but that didn't work. Could somebody please help me get this set up properly?

in your command prompt you have to be in the c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ directory for it to work

I was having the same problem yesterday. But i'm on Vista. Nothing seemed to work, but ADB was working fine on my Mytouch. At any rate, I ended up going to download the most recent SDK and trying adb again from a command prompt @ the tools location of the newest SDK, and then everything worked. I don't know if that was something I should have done in the first place and I just didn't know it (duh), but that's what worked for me.

Setting up ADB? Windows 7

im trying to set up a adb so i can use my g1 as a webcam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4975656&postcount=17
however when i plug in my g1 it says everything was installed except the adb.

Do you have ADB setup on your computer in the first place? If not, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719.

I installed the adb with the sdk as it was mentioned and my computer still doesnt show my phone as an adb device

Did you install the drivers for adb?

i cant find out how!

this works if you are running windoze 7 x64

i dont get how im supposed to put windows 7 on test mode =S

im getting this aswel "When running the command prompt adb install I receive an error dialog stating:
"This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.""
im getting so frustrrated with thiss

bump! i dont get this =[

Search for pdanet and install it. That's how I set up adb for Windows. (Btw - get rid of Windows. Finally did my switch to ubuntu today - ahahahahahahaha I'm sad I ever even used Windows.)

Yea, but adb is kind of a ***** about permissions and such on ubuntu. But each has its quarks.
@85mario85 - You have to cd to the adb.exe in the tools folder ie. c:\sdk\tools\ then run adb. Or add it to the paths part, but I can't remember at the moment.

adding it to the path just saves time. instead of having to cd all the time you can just run adb. i highly suggest it. and i agree - ubuntu is a ***** about permissions all the time. i love it, but i have to learn to use it. however, i'll probably always have a copy of windows in case i can't find out how to do something and have to have it done. better safe than sorry. =]

Check the path in your CMD, the androidsdk needs to be in that path to have adb access. Unless you changed your path values, but it should go something like this(users/nameofuser/documents and settings<). If your path is like that, then your SDK folder needs to be in the folder @ the end of that path or whatever path you have set in your CMD. Also did you run the android.exe and update your SDK. Get back to me and let me know exactly where your @.

HELP adb not found

Hey guys im new here and new to android too. my android sdk doesnt seem to work anymore. when i typed adb shell, it will show daemon starts successfully. it worked flawlessly previously. however when i tried using adb command like adb devices all these, it will shows "adb not found" what does this mean? i open the command prompt at the tools folder and have tried to reinstall my samsung I9000 driver but still it doesnt work. Is it cos of the path i set is wrong or wad? Im using window 7 and the folder name of tat android sdk is called "android" on my desktop. can anyone help me with this??? thanks. i need the adb to work in order to install some game and root. thanks in advance

Reinstall SDK

i tried reinstalling driver and sdk and the result is still the same. any other suggestion?

Not sure if it helps, but I had problems installing i9000 drivers until I installed Kies. Kies installed all the drivers perfectly.

you have to restart the adb daemon as root, eg:
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
edit: just read that you are using windows ... so run the command without he "sudo" but under the admin-user ...
