My PC has never been able to connect via adb, and after weeks of searching around, reinstalling drivers 99 times etc, I finally gave up. That was months ago.
Today I found my Nexus One wasn't able to connect either (yes, new drivers), I knew it was something with Windows. I am using Windows XP 64 bit and I found this:
Does adb not work on windows xp 64? I followed the directions and it didnt work.
no. But there is an unofficial driver for Vista x64 which works on XP x64 too. Read here.

Eureka! No wonder!!!
Unfortunately, the "fixed" file is extremely old, so it won't work for my G1, nor especially for the Nexus One.
Has anyone out there been able to use adb with ANY Android device on Windows XP 64 bit?
No. I used to use Windows XP 64-bit. You need to upgrade to a new operating system, trust me.
Edit: The one guy who says the drivers work on xp-64 is incorrect or simply lying. I wasted a lot of time thanks to that jackass post.
I'm on win 7 64-bit and it connected without a hiccup.

THANK YOU
Finally, someone else in the same boat! People kept telling me to reinstall drivers a billion times. Now I know it's true. Thanks!

Windows 7 64 =/= Windows XP 64
Also just found this:
I think this has something to do with 64-bit Windows not being supported by the drivers.

k0z you are incorrect. I just looked at my usb_driver folder included with the android sdk, it shows the files: androidwinusba64.cat, and a folder named amd64 for 64 bit installations, along with an i386 folder and androidwinusb86.cat for 32 bit installations.

Just because there is a folder and some files for it, doesn't mean it works.
That's why I'm asking if there's anyone who has *actually used* adb on Windows XP 64 bit.

actually, thats exactly what it means. the androidwinusb64.cat is the catalog for windows 64 bit.
EDIT: Just follow this guide, but use the latest adb drivers not the one provided in the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Latest drivers are found here: http://djdoprkngutub.cloudfront.net/usb_driver.zip
While I'm sure a number of attempts have been made, and it's even possible that there are successful drivers out there now, I find this highly unlikely and I know that I personally wasted too much time trying to get this to work on my XP-64 machine.
There's really no support any more for Windows XP-64, in regards to Android or anything else as far as I can tell. Vista sucked, but it's time for you to make the jump to 7 I think

I found these files as well, none of them ever worked. Does this one work? Have you used it? Furthermore, it doesn't look like any of these indicate that they are for Windows XP at all.
well I am not sure that it works on XP 64, but It has been confirmed working on 64 bit Vista and 7.

Have you tried it? Do you know of anyone who has gotten it working? That's my point
Trust me, I've researched this for weeks on end. I know how to install adb.
And now that I see others with the same problem, I know it's just not possible.

Yes, I know. But not Windows XP 64. ([Edit]: Just updated the title for clarity.) Until there is someone who has gotten it working on XP 64, I am 100% sure it's not possible.
Tell you what. Make a video of you clearly showing that you're running Windows XP 64 bit and adb working, throw it on YouTube, and I'll donate $10 to you. Sound good?
Windows XP? do you know what year this is?

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Just because a newer version is out, doesn't mean everyone on the planet will magically stop using XP.
If Microsoft had their way, we'd have arbitrary full OS updates every year. Obsolescence express!
I just spent the past 4 hours backing up 35 GB of data to DVDRs, reformatting my hard drive, installing Windows XP 32 bit, and reinstalling all hardware drivers etc.
I now just plugged in my G1, installed the usb drivers and BOOM, adb works perfectly.
I'm now 1000% sure that the Android usb drivers cannot be used in Windows XP 64 Bit. Hopefully this helps others out there.

I have not purchased Windows 7.

I confirm also here that USB drivers shipped with android SDK does not work on Windows XP 64 bit. The phone is correctly recognized by OS but ADB does not list any device.
Is there any news about this issue?

When dual booting like that, you have to install the OS's in an oldest to newest order.

I've never used Vista Boot Pro, so I can't answer that question. Really, all you have to do is install XP on the first partition and then install Vista on the second partition. When the computer boots up, it will give you a choice of which OS to boot into.
did wid vista boot pro....thx

That's not actually true, you can install newest then oldest (ie: Vista then XP)
Follow this guide it works perfectly, I did it.
I guess I've been doing it the old skool way then.

the easiest method is that if u have a vista CD boot from vista cd and then choose the repair method and a new screen will appear and then from there choose repair startup problems and then it will repair it and in boot section after restarting the computer it will show windows vista and windows xp !!! this is the easiest way to do it !!!
or you can just use vmware on vista like i did.
i recently upgrade to 7 from Vista and reinstall the drivers..
now when im trying to open ddms.exe i get a message "23:12 E/DeviceMonitor: Connection attempts: 1"
the the program opens but there is no device! so i cant actually do anything..
edit:
sometimes it says:
Code:
51:50 E/adb: ADB server didn't ACK
51:50 E/adb: * failed to start daemon *
51:50 W/ddms: 'adb start-server' failed -- run manually if necessary
Delete the MS-virus, install your favorite linux distro, and all will be well.
oh.. i can boot to my linux and do everything in there but gimp is not comfortable for me and i cant install CS3(photoshop) in linux...

you can through Wine, and it works pretty good.
seriously though, I do like Vista, but i always have a duel booted Ubuntu at hand, just in case. I don't trust Win7 atm, loads of compatibility issues.
yea ubuntu is far more sexy in win 7 i dont have any compatibility issues.. in ubuntu i do have some
when 9.10 released ill check its compatibility with HD3870x2
oops! sorry

It *IS* released.. as of today.
FYI: The latest radeon open source drivers should support 3870 now (3d and all). I don't know if they ship with that distro, but I do know for fact that they do come with Fedora 12 (working nice in Beta, final due out next month).
And Re: GIMP.... you'll never be comfortable with it unless you actually USE it. Me, I'd never use that adobe bloatware -- just too much useless crap to sift through.
You probably checked here, but thought I would post just in case.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/ddms.html
I had issues with Win XP, I could not seem to get the drivers to install. Doesn't sound like that is the case for you. Like you, I got DDMS up, but it never saw my device. Androidandme had a tutorial, and the comments were filled with people saying they could not see their device.
Hopefully someone more educated could make a guide or help you out
I have a Vista 64 computer right now and I can't get ADB to work with the nook color. None of the insturctions on have found on these forums or Nook Devs work on Vista 64. Has anyone gotten it work on Vista 64?
The big reason I'm looking right now is I can't get gapps onto my HCv4 sd without using ADB or at least haven't found a way.
Any suggestions besides get a new computer or operating system (I'd love to) would be great.

There is a Topic on Dev Forum on an Easy ADB install setup that does the work for you. Although in the end life is made easier if you just use Linux. I recommend Ubuntu. It has a Windows Installer that allows you to Boot Ubuntu without partitioning or anything and when you're done with Ubuntu just go back to Windows and Uninstall it like any other Program. http://ubuntu.com

I used to have Ubuntu on an old computer of mine...it never occurred to me to do what you just suggested even though I've done it before. BTW I tried the Easy ADB it work with XP 32/64, Vista 32, and W7 32/64, but no Vista 64.
Booting Ubuntu on the side is going to work, but if anyone has gotten ADB on Vista 64 working I'd still love that.
You should change the Thread's title to "Help! Can't get ADB working on Windows 64-bit" That describes your problem better and should attract more people. I doubt you're the only one with 64-bit Windows problems.

Just made the switch from ubuntu 10.10 to windows 7, didnt have issues using my cappy as a mass storage device on ubuntu
On win7 x64 if I try to transfer a file thats just more than a few mb's either from the cappy to the pc or vice versa, the transfer just gets stuck, the loading bar is flashing but it doesnt get anywhere. I have to unplug my phone from the computer in order for it to go away, this causes windows explorer(not the internet browser) to restart as well.
-my other usb devices work without a problem
-have tried all six usb ports on my computer, same thing
-even weirder, i reformatted, installed win7 x86 just to see, transfers work fine on it. Reformatted again and installed x64 with fingers crossed, transfers didnt work on it again.
-I have tried transferring files with no windows updates installed on x64 as well as all updates installed, file transfers still get stuck both ways.
-im using the x64 captivate drivers from the odin3 thread on xda. running andromeda3 ROM.
anyone know what this could possibly be?

sounds like bad drivers from samsung or windows is not using the newest driver version, maybe downloading drivers from samsung and manually installing would help
32 bit version of windows will have different drivers
I installed .net 4 and that seems to have fixed my problem, if that makes any sense.
makes sense. i keep forgetting about that but it is something you should have for alot of things in windows, thought it was one of the required things for adb and odin as well. not sure though

I'm lucky enough to have a roomate with a dual boot ubuntu/windows so I can keep my Ubuntu and borrow his windows machine when I need it. Definately sounds like driver/ .net 4 issues though.
I am using lenovo win 10 laptop which has i5 processor.
I tried to install remixos player but when i click on remixos player.exe it doesn't open.
Virtualization is enabled in bios also tried again after uninstalling avast antivirus but still it doesn't opens.
Any solution?
Same problem here, I have an Intel i5 4Gb integrated graphics and the .exe won't open. I think this emulator is still very green, will test it again the next month maybe.

Hi,
Probably you all have installed a 32bit Windows and sadly 32bit and amd isnt supported yet
If you install 64bit windows you wont have any problem.
