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!
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 .
Ok. Right now I'm trying to root my nexus. I'm stuck at installing the usb driver. I tried following this tutorial /showthread.php?t=613217 but every time i choose the driver and it searches it tells me it "couldn't find a better match for my hardware" and the driver doesn't install. I've tried 2 different computers, a macbook pro dual booted with Win XP media center Sp 2 and a dell XP media center Sp 3. No luck with either of them. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? its getting really anoying

I'm having the same issue myself i think.
Look under N1 Q&A and find the topic "N1 Bricked"
Glad to know im not the only one
I have a iMac and I never even had to worry about drivers.
Just download/install/setup the Android SDK and the rest is automatic.
I have a tutorial called ADB 4 Dummies that will walk you through installing the android sdk 2.2(froyo) and setting up your environments. Step by step for every system.
First thing, unplug your Phone from computer, uninstall ALL drivers and try from scratch.
Also, if you're using windows, when you're done and you plug in your phone, don't choose to "automatically find drivers" instead manually point it to the drivers folder in the SDK.
Don't worry, it's not bricked. lol.

Hmmmm....
There are 2 modes to the bootloader HBOOT and Fastboot.
Make sure you're phone is in fastboot mode... it should say FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red on top. If it doesn't, use the volume down key, select Fastboot and hit the power button once to switch the phone to fastboot.
Remember, "adb devices" works while your phone is turned on regular. If your phone is in Fastboot mode use "fastboot devices"
Ok, are you using windows? If you are;
Turn off your phone and boot it back up in Bootloader mode. (trackball+pwr, or volume down+pwr)
Once it's on bootloader, plug it in to the computer.
See if the computer asks for any drivers, etc. If it does point it to the Drivers folder in the SDK. If it doesn't... go into your Device Manager. (Right click on MY COMPUTER, click on MANAGE and when computer management opens up, go to Device manager from the list on the left). Look to see if there are any icons with an Exclamation mark and yellow background. If there is, right click on it, select update driver and point it to the drivers folder in the sdk.
Basically there should be a menu on top that says "Android Phone" and when you expand that selection you'll see "Android Bootloader Interface".
nope, no luck with that either, I tried it both on windows XP and windows 7. same error each time. Could it be a problem with my device? because Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the nexus as a storage device or anything
Damn. I think i'm out of options. Last thing to try:
- Turn on phone regular.
- Plug in through USB to computer (try a different USB cable, even if that one worked with the CLIQ, try a different USB port also.)
- On Phone: GO to settings, Application Settings, Development, USB Debugging, (if it's checked on, check it off then on again) make sure it's ON.
Go into your Android SDK folder, go into the TOOLS folder. Now click on DDMS. See if it lists your device...
Last thing would be to go back through the Device Manager, and click on SCAN HARDWARE while your phone is plugged in... It has to be on that list somewhere, whether it's a bad driver, etc, it should still appear in your device manager somehow.
alright that didnt work, but, i got it, i just kept unplugging and plugging back in my phone until adb recognized it. then i got fastboot to run and now i have superuser . But now im stuck at another point. I'm trying to do the recovery.img file. I tried in mobile terminal "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it told me something like "flash_image not found" I saw that i could do this via fast boot but i dont know how to do that. how would i do fastboot on Mac?
http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/6-upgrade-nexus-one-recovery
when i try to do the fastboot command i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found" i dont think i have fastboot set up right
have you tried typing in "./" before the command? I found that that was one of my mistakes I did when I first rooted my phone
tried that, entered "./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img" and i just get "waiting for device"
I believe you can also try "./fastboot-mac flash recovery ./recovery.img"
Alright I flashed a clockwork recovery through the app manager in the market. Is there any way I can apply the other recovery with an update.zip?
Also, thanks so much for all the help guys!!!!!!!!!!
you can do it through terminal emulator, if you go to amonra's recovery thread he tells you how.

fastboot somtimes doesn't come in the SDK... download the version for your system from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/5-unlock-nexus-one-bootloader
place it in your androidsdk/tools folder
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
I I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. I did a couple of searches without finding an answer.
I can not get my MotoX to be a recognized device via adb. I am running Windows8 and I'm trying to get adb access to my ATT MotoX (DAMN, I wish I had a dev verstion!).
- It shows up under "other devices" as XT1058.
- It will not show up as an adb device in win8 device manager.
- I have tried different usb cables with the same result (and, different usb ports)
- I have changed the settings on Win8 to allow unsigned drivers.
- I have installed Moto Device Manager - didn't help.
- I have installed the Universal Naked drivers and "latest_usb_drivers_windows"
- I have uninstalled the device in device manager and de-selected/selected usb de-bugging and still comes up under "other devices"
- I have entered the Windows/Inf folder and deleted several inf files in an attempt to remove references to other drivers to get win8 to access the correct ones... hasn't worked so far....
Can someone please assist me in getting this thing recognized via adb?
I know fastboot is a separate issue - but, I can access fastboot so I'm fairly certain it is not a hardware issue (cable/port/etc).
------------------------------------------
Ok, I entered the folder Windows/Inf and opened up every single "oemN" file (N being the number following "oem") and deleted every file which had Android drivers... I then re-installed the Moto drivers and it worked...
Now, it says the device is "offline" - I need to research how to change THAT!
--------------------------------------
Ok, solved the "offline" issue... Updated the adb in "platform-tools" manually to 1.0.31
This caused the MotoX to FINALLY provide the pop up window to verify access to my computer's identity (which it refused to do previously).
Used this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1724500&d=1360704125
and copy/pasted the zip contents into the "platform-tools" folder to update the adb files.
