Help with ADB

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.

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!

G! shows as "Unknown device" in device manager - Can't Connect!!

for the past 18 months I have been able to access my G1 via USB. I could mount it easily and ADB was set up correctly. for some reason this week, it stopped working. now when I plus it in, I get the "USB Not Recognized" error in XP, and my device no longer shows up as an adroid phoen in Device Mgr. It now says unknown device.
I have tried updating the driver with no luck.
Any ideas would be great,
Thanks

Something similar happened to me. After trying to mess around with Live Wallpapers and DroidExplorer, my phone doesn't show up. I get the "Error: Device not found".
I have the latest USB driver, but yet device manager keeps saying that it's up to date when I try to reinstall (however under Driver Details, Vista says the location of the drivers are on System32 and they're Microsoft drivers....)
Edit: after searching Google for answers, I stumbled on a Google Group and found that someone fixed their issue (similar to mine) by installing HTC Sync. I did, and voila! ADB works again.

OUTSTANDING!! That did it. Thanks a bunch, and thanks for the link!

fixed for real now
So the above didn't do it for me, here's what I did:
download and extract USBDeview
Open it up and remove the 3 or 4 entries that say "android phone"
Unlplug (if its plugged into USB) your phone and replug it in, the "found new hardware" window should pop up and be sure to install the drivers that came with the SDK.
That took care of my USB mounting situation, but I still couldn't get adb or fastboot to see my device. Turns out I had adb.exe and fastboot.exe in my WINDOWS/System32 folder as well as in the SDK/tools folder (prolly from when I updated the SDK). Having them in 2 spots seemed to cause problems so I removed them from the SDK/Tools folder. Alternatively I could have removed the other set, but I didn't want to go to my SDK folder every time to use them, this way I can access ADB from any folder on my computer.
This is all from memory so if something's not clear, lemme know. All I know is ADB and Fastboot are working now.

Nexus USB Debugging does nothing

Hey guys,
I have been trying to get my phone connected to my pc for a few days now.
I am having major issues with getting adb to work. I have googled pretty much every solution, tried the drivers posted on here, everything.
It seems that turning on USB debugging on my phone does nothing. I get no new notifications in windows (7), no new hardware, no ADB Composite Interface showing up.
I really don't know what to do next - anyone else have this problem?

Are you able to try plugging it into another computer to check the usb interface isn't faulty?

I have tried it on both my work pc (vista) and my home pc, with the same result.
When I type the command adb devices I just get a empty list.
I put it into fastboot mode and was able to get fastboot devices to list the serial, which is why I think theres something wrong with USB debugging mode on the phone.
Would a factory reset fix a problem like this?

Well I have fully reformatted my pc, and restored the phone and still have the same issue.

You have to install the ADB drivers.

I attached the drivers you need.
If you need more help, let me know.

Still not working - I tried the drivers you attached, as well as previously the drivers from the android adk.
I can get a Android ADB Interface to show up in Device Manager, but the adb devices command just gives me a blank list.

Why is it that I only get Android ADB Interface, and everywhere else on the web I see Android ADB Composite Interface?

W7 x64 and using the SDK drivers mine shows up as Android ADB Composite Interface (at the top, in it's own Android Phone category) with USB debugging enabled.

If I boot the phone into recovery mode, i get Android ADB Composite Interface, adb devices lists my phone, and Android ADB Interface is disconnected.
But when the phone is running, the composite interface is disconnected, and the Android ADB Interface is connected, but adb devices lists nothing.
I have just put on cyanogen mod 6 tonight, and its still the same. Is there any other part of the phone that might cause this?
Tonight I tried on my mates pc, it didn't work, but his desire showed up right away.
It's really frustrating buying a 'developer' phone which I can't develop on.

Well look's like this is a froyo problem with certain devices -
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437

So from reading the previous link it seems it's an issue with non 00 mac address's, like the wifi issue. My mac address on my nexus starts with 38.
But the updated broadcom driver in cyanogen mod 6 fixes wifi issuse I have, but not the adb issue.
What is the best way to try get something done about this?

[Q] Windows 7 ADB Drivers / App restores w/o root?

I'm looking to port app restores - mostly game saves - from my old phone to the Droid Turbo. I've used Helium in the past but I can't get the Turbo to connect to Windows 7 yet. I've been trying to use the drivers linked from the Helium URL and here, but without success.
Anyone have luck tracking down USB drivers?
Any suggestions other than Helium?
Update:
Looks like the Motorola drivers started working as soon as I posted this (of course...).

This one was driving me nuts the last two days. On Win8.1 x64, the driver wouldn't auto-load when the device was plugged in. Until I saw your edit reason, I didn't even think to go through the manual device list and select the driver manually. "ADB Interface/Mot Composite ADB Interface" worked for me, as well.
Also, if you change your USB Storage mode on the phone, it may also change how the ADB Interface is detected. I had to manually add the ADB Interface driver a second time when I turned on MTP mode for the USB Storage connection. I had had it previously disabled while trying to figure out the ADB issues, once I had ADB working, I re-enabled MTP and subsequently Windows "forgot" the ADB device driver again.

For others: I had to go through the device manager, pick the unknown adb device and update drivers, pick drivers, select the clockworkmod section on the left and instead of mot composite I had to use the first option, android composite adb interface. Now my mtp connection works. Haven't tried reconnecting yet so it may well forget the drivers again, but at least I know what to do now!

Need the drivers from google sdk kit. Just google search installing adb drivers. I used helium fine.

[Q] Driver help, pulling hair out

I am so frustrated right now I don't even know what to do. Here is where I am and I welcome any ideas. I have read and tried every suggestion I can think of.
I have a Win 8 laptop I want to connect the Nexus to so that I can sideload 5.1. Currently the phone is still factory stock.
With debug turned off, my computer sees the nexus and I can transfer files. It sees it as an MTP device
With USB DEbug checked, my computer no longer sees it at all.
I have the latest android sdk installed.
When I go into platform tools and run adb devices- it is blank, nothing in either state (debug on or off).
Also it is not recognized in "Fastboot devices" when in fastboot mode, so the computer is not seeing it.
I have used USBDEview to delete drivers, then reinstalled using the latest Google USB drivers. no Help.
I have tried using motorola device manager to install proper drivers, no help.
Tried using Koush universal drivers and it did not help.
Thank you for any ideas you may have.

Try using "Nexus Root Toolkit" to set up the drivers for you. It has a driver setup tool.

I just went through that a couple hours ago. I ended up having to go in the device manager, and manually point it to look for the drivers in the platform-tools folder of windows sdk. Once I did that, the little yellow triangle went away, and all was well, adb and fastboot worked as normal. Hopefully that works for you too.
