ADB not showing up??

Sorry guys, I am new here and am having a problem getting ubuntu to work on my NC. I am trying to get it to boot using adb but it will not show up on my PC. I have tried 3 different PCs (2 win7 64bit and 1 vista 32bit), installed the nook drivers but it will never show up in the command prompt. I have tried enabling and disabling development mode and I disabled USB mount. I don't know what else to try. I am on 1.1.0 of the system software if that matters. I got ubuntu to work once using terminal emulator but am having problems getting the script to work. But my main objective is getting adb to see my nook. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I dont follow you very well, what's your problem? Your PC doesn't see NC or something else?

ADB does not see it is what I'm saying. I will say that I am not using the stock USB cable that came with the nook as I don't have that cable anymore. Could it be that the cable I'm using doesn't work properly? It see's everything fine when I tell it to mount the SD card. I just using a froyo card in it and adb saw it although it said offline. Could the cable be a reason why it wouldn't work?

It's possible, but not likely as I am using diiferent cable for communication between PC and NC all the time... My original is connected to a charger from the purchase of NC...

did you install the right drivers for it? It depends which OS flavor you have on your nook. Honeycomb uses different drivers vs Froyo

I'm having the same issues. I'm on a Windows 7 Box and I can not see the NC.
In Device Drivers under <Other> I find the NC but the driver is invalid. I have DL'ed the Android SDK with the USB drivers and I have tried pointing to the driver manualy. No Joy.
Any Help would be greatly apreciated.

have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751 ...run the .bat and follow it's instructions.
Also: it's very important that you reboot your Nook at least once after your first OS installation.

fastboot help.

Maybe somebody can give me some pointers how to install fastboot? I hold arrow down then hold power till it goes into fastboot. I then plug it into the computer and install the drivers. which it did. but in fastboot it still says starting fastboot usb protocol. I check device manager and it recognize my dell. But yet i still have no fastboot on my device? what am i missing?

Make sure that you are using fastboot from the latest SDK.

Ok i guess i dont fully understand fastboot then. Does fastboot take commands from pc to device. Or if i install it correctly will fast boot be on the device? Does that make sense.
sent from my re-engineered dInc

There is a fastboot.exe file that is included with the SDK and there is a fastboot mode that you boot your android device into with power + volume down. It is already there by default.
The exe file is used from the command line to pass commands to the android device while it is it 'fastboot' mode.

Ok so im passing commands from the pc to the device. Got it. I just unistalled my old version of sdk and did a fresh install. About to give it another go. Somebody needs to port clockwork over. Lol thanks kable

I was about to say,
just make sure you properly installed your SDK then should be fine.

Im getting app failed to start because adbwinapi.dll was not found. What is causing this and how do i fix it?
sent from my re-engineered dInc

This is when i try to open the fastboot in tools
sent from my re-engineered dInc

ive done everything by the books and I cant figure out why the.dll file is missing. When I know its installed. I tryed this on 2 different comps. One on vista and one on xp. Installed everything as I should and no dice. Oh well if someone happens to port clockwork is that going to be flashed via fastboot? Or will it be an update.zip? Flashed through the updater? Can someone point me in the right direction maybe? Ive never had this much trouble with getting into bootloader.

some tips
1. Follow the guide "What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK" by searching google for "adb install" (should be third link down)
*Note: That will help you install the latest SDK and drivers etc, don't forget to add the path **
2. Make sure you have a copy of the Drivers from the streak itself, these are what you should be using for the fastboot mode.
3. Open a command prompt and go to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
4. Make sure your streak is in fastboot mode using the volume down/power button
5. check that fastboot see's the device by doing "fastboot.exe devices"
6. If you see a ? blah blah then it works, if you see nothing, then its not working.

Thanks i installed sdk per that write up. Still no dice. Where should i place the copy of the drivers. But im sure i did this as well. Ill wait. Im pretty happy with the way things are with it stock. Atleast i have root and can do what i want within the device. Thats the thing i cant even get a command prompt to take. Oh well ill do some more investigating later

What should it say in device manager when the device is plugged in? Mine currently says android phone. Click on it and it says android composite adb interface. Is there where im doing something wrong? It should say adb devices correct?

[Q] Computer wont recognize dell streak 7

Hello again. I am attempting to root my new dell streak 7, froyo 2.2.2 stock, wifi only device using gingerbreak. I was advised from another thread I posted to download gingerbreak using my computer then transfer the file to my Dell Streak 7, since my device would not download gingerbreak successfully. I have tried to do this but my Dell computer will not recognize my Streak. I am using a stock usb cable. When I plug it in the Windows Device Manager comes up and wants to search for drivers. I have allowed it, not allowed it and even told it not to search anymore. None of this has helped. Then my computer says there was a problem installing my device and it might not work properly. It still won't recognize my device as being plugged in at all, but my Streak does recognize that it has been plugged into the computer. USB debugging is on. All I want to do is get gingerbreak on my device so that I can root it and get rid of all the stock stuff that came with it originally. I have searched similar threads but they didnt have an answer or were not the exact thing I needed. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Your computer could not find the driver for the Streak. You need to go to Dell website and download the driver for you computer operating system. Here is the link:
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=447160
After downloading the driver, unzip it to a directory in your pc. When you connect the Streak to the pc, windows will ask you for the driver. Make sure to enter the directory where you unzip the driver.

This is NOT true - If you're Dell Streak 7 has froyo 2.2.2 stock - it should recognize it automatically - just curious what version windows you're using...

Thanks! I am using win xp sp3. I really hope there is a fix because this is very frustrating. I did however get gingerbreak on the ds7 by dl'ing from the device while it was plugged in to my computer. Although i'm not sure if it is on the sd card or the device itself. It does show up on my device though. But I still need to hook up to computer for music xfer etc.

try dell's sync-up

No problem - for media transfer between your pc and your dell streak 7 - have you tried using Dell's SyncUP? You will need to download from this website to your pc and there should be an app SyncUP on your stock dell streak 7...

Have you tried the driver from Dell's link that I gave you? Yes, the computer should automatically recognize a device, but through my experience, nothing is perfect. That's why Dell posted the driver for people to download in case the computer did not recognize the Streak. In fact, here is Dell's description of this driver:
Set of USB drivers needed so Windows XP or Windows 7 can correctly identify the Streak & device when it is connected to a PC

My streak when stock did not recognize properly either with win 7 x64. Even the drivers in the folder for win7 and vista 64 wouldn't work. I think I wound up using the xp 64 drivers using compatibility mode.
Hope this helps!!

Man this is really getting me down. So I downloaded the file that you recommended from the link that you provided. After messing around for over an hour with the "dell download manager application," and about pulling my hair out over that worthless application. I finally just downloaded the file with my own browser (firefox 4.0). But it is a RAR file and does not give me the option to unzip it. I can pretty much download it to anyplace on my computer that I want but I downloaded it to the default which is my desktop. Then after running the device manager to install the ds7, my computer will not find the RAR file that I downloaded to the desktop. I have the option, as I said earlier, to download it into the existing dell drivers file that is on my computer but I actually have to put it in a file. There are several driver files listed there all starting with R and about 6 numbers after it, but I don't know which to put it in or if that is even what I should do. Suggestions?

After you have down'd the drivers from otmos's link on Sunday. Unzip the 16mb file to a suitable directory. Now when you install the drivers point the location to the Drivers folder in the directory that you unzipped ADB-Drivers.zip into and allow it to search for the correct file itself from there. Don't try to point to the individual sub directories.
Dell's SyncUP on it's own does not install the drivers.

Seriously? You have to go through hoops to get USB Mass Storage to work with the Dell Streak and Windows?
I just plug it in and tap the "Connect to computer" or whatever the screen is for starting mass storage. I rarely use it, but I did a few days ago to dump a few gigs of music over. Just worked in Linux..

..... he is referring to the adb drivers if im not mistaken ... that's for adb / fastboot This has nothing to do with mass storage mode.....

rar files are a type of compressed file, similar to zip, you need to use a program like WinRAR to extract them. Windows will not recognize the drivers that are compressed in the rar file. Once you uncompressed them into a folder on your desktop, do the device manager to install the ds7 like before, and direct it to find the drivers in that uncompressed folder.

Perhaps he's just over complicating it then if he can't get adb to work, just get it on the SD card and install it.

Thanks so much everyone, finally got it working. Had to install drivers for Nero mobile sync and the Nero mobile sync application to my computer. Now recognizes and has a gui for moving and transferring files back and forth.
Tried to thank everyone but only allowed 5 a day.
Thanks again.

Problem Connecting to Computer

I'm having a problem while trying to root my nexus. I'm trying to use the WUGS-Nexus root toolkit and my computer is not registering my nexus as an ADB device. I removed the original drivers from my computer and installed the drivers from the toolkit but that didn't help. I was trying to install the android SDK (just got a new computer so nothing is installed yet) but I was having problems with that as well. It said that the Java JDK was not installed even though it is. Is the reason its not registering as an ADB device because ADB isn't installed? And does anyone know about the JDK issue? Thanks in advance!

Nexus 7 Driver Failure

Please don't troll, my first post
So, my Nexus 7came a few days ago, and since then I've been playing around with it a lot.
Yesterday I decided I was going to root the beautiful tablet.
I plugged it into my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and then I saw an error whilst it tried to install the drivers.
It had two crosses by the two drivers it was trying to install.
I plugged it into another laptop (Windows Vista 32bit) and it installed the drivers perfectly and quickly.
I understand that I have to have the Nexus 7 plugged in to root it, and so now I am highly confused and annoyed.
My laptop doesn't recognize it and it doesn't appear in Computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
If you need anymore information, just let me know! (=

Works fine for me after about 10 minutes of searching and reading. No need to add to the thread clutter.

Remember to scroll all the way down in each individual window of the guide to setting up the drivers. I drove myself crazy before I realized that I had missed something important. Also if your desktop is 64bit, you have to use the 64bit drivers. Good luck!

Have you downloaded these yet they are new out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796165

Install the android sdk. Go to device manager and find your nexus, right click and update driver software. Search computer, select all locations (or something like that) then have disk and browse to your installation. Uh underneath extras there is a folder with the driver you're going to select.
I'm at work so that's a general idea, Google "cyanogenmod adb driver install" and skip the part about replacing the file with a custom one since the nexus is included by default.

Yep. Tried that aswell... if it had worked I wouldn't of come back to ask if anyone had any other ideas as to why it doesn't work..
I thought it was possible to ask questions on here without people saying stuff like that...

clearly you are doing something wrong because the drivers work.
If you need help, you need to provide more details on what you are trying and what the issue is when you try to install... Not just an image of what happens when you plug the device in. That part is obvious that you don't have the drivers installed.
So of the various methods of getting drivers, which ones did you try and what did they say when you tried loading them?

I opened up the zip containing the files.
These are the files that I am greeted with;

Now what? (=

Those are the drivers... now you need to load them.... Not using Vista for many years... did a simple google search and found...
Code:
Windows Vista
To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
Select Locate and install driver software.
Select Don't search online.
Select I don't have the disk. Show me other options.
Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.) As long as you specified the exact location of the installation package, you may leave Include subfolders checked or unchecked—it doesn't matter.
Click Next. Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
When Vista asks if you'd like to install the Google ADB Interface device, click Install to install the driver.
Or, to upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows Vista with the new driver:
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Device Manager in the left pane.
Locate and expand ADB Interface in the right pane.
Right-click on Listed Nexus 7 Device, and select Update Driver Software.
When Vista starts updating the driver, a prompt will ask how you want to search for the driver software. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.) As long as you specified the exact location of the installation package, you may leave Include subfolders checked or unchecked—it doesn't matter.
Click Next. Vista might prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
When Vista asks if you'd like to install the Google ADB Interface device, click Install to upgrade the driver.
Change the location in the instructions to where you unloaded those USB drivers and you should be on your way...
