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?

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

thankful.
i finish it following as u said.
but what reason?
The cyanogen rom 4.2.3 has USB tethering support, but I can not get it to work, mainly because of missing information/documentation.
In 'settings' 'wireless controls' there is a nice 'Internet tethering' option to switch it on. When I switch that on then my Windows XP PC shows an unknown device 'Andriod Phone' and would like to install drivers for it. Where can I get these drivers from ?

I would also like to know how the usb tethering works for a mac as well. Didnt find any information on that. Thanks in advance.
You may need to get the drivers from the Android SDK, but with regards to USB tethering, your phone should be recognised as an NDIS based network device and installed automatically by Windows. Not sure about XP, but it installs automatically on Vista and 7
Under Ubuntu Linux (from an end-user perspective), when a G1 is connected with USB tethering enabled, network manager connects as if the phone were a standard, ethernet connection.

I have the Android SDK (1.6r1) and I point the driver install wizard at the usb_driver directory when he wants to install the device. Despite this the 'Found new Hardware' Wizard come up with 'Cannot install this Hardware'.

For xp you have to install drivers from htc sync software. Just google 'htc sync'. Should have been asked in q&a.
Nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.5.8 neither on 10.6.1

Isnt this Q&A? but I think this is it.... http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Sync-Download-81096.html
Im trying to get this to work also
I couldn't get it to work on my Windows XP SP2 computer at work. I get a code 10.
Guys, don't forget to use search! I've seen these issues brought up in at least 3 or 4 threads, and tons of posts.

If you're running windows XP the driver isn't included on your computer. Some people have installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, personally I got them from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445436
I can confirm that the driver from that post works, I am using tethering with my laptop right now to write this post!

The search doesnt always give you what your lookin for if you dont word it a certain way man................
I think im gonna need a step by step.... I got the file... the computer recognizes the device.... But it doesn't register as a connection....
To everyone that is having problems tethering:
I was having the same issues. At first I wasn't able to get it to install, and then it would just keep saying the device couldn't start.
i found a very simple solution. I went into device manager, uninstalled all of my usb ports, and restarted my computer.
When it restarted, it automatically installed the usb drivers, and the tethering has worked ever since.
I could not get this to work either, finally after 3 days of messing with this on my work pc, I got it to work. First download htc sync from here http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=631&news_id=270 then unzip and install to your pc. Next tick on the option to usb tether while the phone is plugged in. It will say found Android phone Sdk or something like that. I did this on my xp pc at work that had no htc drivers previously installed. Next I went to my device manager and under network adapters you will see the yellow exclamation point, right click on that and update driver, 1st install from a specific location, 2nd Don't search I will choose driver to install. 3rd Have disk, 4th browse to C/program files/htc/htc driver/driver files/xp_86x then hit open and click ok. It might give a "stop warning" ignore it and continue. When its done installing you should be ready to go.....

I'm so frustrated with this whole process. I've done every step you've outlined, and I still get a code 10 - cannot start the driver. And I still don't have USB tethering. What am I doing wrong?

That's your problem then. Yeah update to sp3 and you will be good. I promise.
I'm running into the same tethering trouble, but appear to meet all the criteria mentioned in this thread and other threads i've come across. the bottom line is i can connect with ADB access and mount my phone's SD card via the usb connection, but tethering doesn't work under several versions of Cyanogen on my laptop. currently I have CM 4.2.12.2 on my rooted Dream. I have windows SP3 installed (installed it twice because problem persisted). I've uninstalled all the USB ports per an above post, rebooted and plugged my phone in. The laptop reinstalls the USB ports, and finds the phone as an "ADB Interface" named "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface". I can update the drivers with the google SDK USB drivers which makes the device an "Android Phone" named "Android Composite ADB Interface" instead. With either set of drivers installed, once I go to Settings on my phone and enable tethering, the device under windows goes away and instead i get yellow question mark "Other Devices" named Android Phone. I can try to force it to use the same USB drivers but it won't install them.
With tethering turned off, i can successfully type "adp devices" on my laptop console and see that my phone is there. once i turn tethering on, the same command shows no devices.
The Dream works with tethering just fine on my windows pc and shows up as a "Network adapter" named "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device".
My laptop is a compac presario in case that matters. what do i need to do on it to make tethering work?
just found the solution. a lot of posts were talking about installing microsoft active sync. sounded pointless considering it's an android phone, but it ends up being that the drivers for "windows mobile-based internet sharing device" are part of the active sync installation. i installed active sync, plugged in my phone, enabled tethering and then the laptop installed the correct drivers and it all worked without a hitch. hope this helps others!

This is totally the problem. I spent hours trying different ways then finally googled it and came here
Getting my feet wet installing the android sdk and getting xml repository error messages trying to install into windows.
"Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings."
Nothing resembles the tutorial on the SDK setup. Have the contents unzipped and sitting in the folder. Is there another procedure for installing the usb drivers from the sdk? Would somebody mind posting alternative instructions?
*Edit*
Solved!
1) Forced the update by checkmarking "Force". Installed the preliminary files (USB drivers would not install).
2) Visited developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html & read about upgrading the USB drivers.
3) Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690362&highlight=installing+sdk and upgraded the USB drivers to version 3 (sdk).
4) Windows recognized the update and installed the USB drivers.
Was able to confirm the phones serial number with sdk!
First off sorry I'm sure flammage is coming but I've looked and looked through google and through xda my last ditch effort is to make a post.
I can not get windows 7 to recognize my I've downloaded the latest SDK with usb drivers but each time I try and update drivers I get "windows has determined he driver software for your device is update. Please help me
Go look for the PDANet drivers. You may have to actually install PDANet, but it's painless. Install those drivers, and adb will work for you.
This is mentioned in various stickies and other guides around the board.
This option didn't work please help pda install but didn't overwrite the driver
You need to reboot and hit f8 I believe, then choose the option to allow installation of unsigned drivers. Then try to reinstall the drivers when you boot
Download an application called "USBdeview", which will let you view/modify the drivers for all devices regardless of whether they're attached or not. Find all the drivers related to Android, HTC, NexusOne, and adb, and delete them. Then install pdanet, and don't connect your phone until it instructs you to.
Windows 7 does not allow the installation of unsigned drivers unless the option is disabled on boot

I'm 95% sure that's only for the 64-bit version of Windows - Vista had the same requirement.
There are ways around it, such as using the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider application (DSEO), or just manually configuring your computer to run in test/debugging mode.
At any rate, I don't think that you should have any issues with the PDANet drivers, as I installed them on my Win 7 Pro x64 OS before I had disabled driver signing (I did that later to screw with some homemade video drivers).
More detailed instructions on getting the drivers working are available here.

DSEO is a pretty nifty utility for sure. Provides easy one-click (okay, a few clicks, actually) access to disabling the driver signature enforcement - and even an easy way to eliminate the "Test Mode" watermark that would appear in the bottom-right of the desktop while operating in Test Mode.
There are other methods to bypass the signature enforcement without turning on Test Mode, but I've found that to be the best option. Other approaches use a boot-time hook to basically insert the F8 (and other keys as appropriate - down, down, enter or something like that) keystrokes to "automanually" disable driver signature enforcement for that boot. Any third-party application that accesses things that early in the boot process makes me a bit nervous!
Am I the only person having trouble with having a computer recognize the phone? The driver install fails. I have tried different computers and different cables. The computer knows that it is there but I cannot use chainfires auto root because I keep getting a message that says please connect via usb cable, which it already is. Can somebody please help?
I had the same problem
I guess I can't post URLs yet so take the space out between http and : below.
Then manually install the driver. The only way I could get my phone to connect in bootloader
Here is the link to Nexus 6

So frustrated,

I tried to follow the directions to the T but am still having trouble and do not know what I am doing wrong. I was so excited to finally get my hands a Nexus device and am having more trouble with this phone than any other that I have previously owned. At this point, Id be happy to keep my Note 4 is somebody could come up with a root. I wonder if it could be because I am on a computer at work that is on a network?
Domain rights
If you login to a network computer the domain user rights may have a group policy to not allow driver installation.
On my computer I right click computer and go to manage
Click on "device Manager"
My device showed up under unknown or other device it was named shamu
Right click on shamu and choose update driver software
Then choose browse my computer for driver software
Click the browse button and find the folder you downloaded from the link on the previous post and pick the usb_driver folder and click OK then click next
It should then install the driver if you have permissions on that computer to install drivers
These steps are for Windows 7
O had a similar issue. Drivers installed but the device was never seen. In device manager is was listed as like an altec or something..
I did right click, update driver, then install from computer, pick from list. From the list I just chose the USB composite device. Boom solved for me.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
perseverance!
