Hey everyone,
I have been happily using android on nand for quite sometime, and everything has been going well. However, I must have the wrong adb driver installed on my windows 7 computer and can't seem to remove it fully or install the proper one ever. Every time I remove it from device manager, and plug it back in, windows finds it as an HTC composite device, and adb through command line can't find any devices, ever! I would really like to be able to use this feature for things like tethering and what not.
Also, if anyone has any information on how to tether using any OS, windows, mac or linux, I would greatly appreciate it, along with any applications that might be helpful! I have done proxoid in the past and it worked well, pdaNet looks like it might work, but again I don't have a connection to my windows computer!
Thanks in advance for all of the help!
I am using the android SDK usb driver for ADB, you just have to edit a file and add the vendor ID. I can do things like adb logcat, adb shell gives me odd characters in directory listings,I get a ? from adb devices, not sure what that is about.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android\adb_usb.ini
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x0e79
0x0bb4
The 0e79 is for my Archos tablet, works fine there. 0bb4 is what showed up in device manager when I plugged in the phone.
I tried to install that driver for my Polaris and it doesn't work.
It shows "Installing Android Phone" while I have my device plugged in. It takes forever and seems that the USB connection hangs the driver install process, but as soon as I disconnect my device, Windows shows me an error message.
Instructions for Vista\Windows 7
For WinVista/Win7
These OS will install Android as a mass storage device. You must uninstall the driver and update to the android driver model.
Instructions:
1) Unplug all removable devices(thumb drive, sdcards, etc) beside the Android phone.
2) Locate "Device Manager", usually under "control panel"
3) Select "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
4) Select USB Mass Storage Device.
Note: to check if you have the correct device, click on the details tab and select "compatible ids" under properties. There should be three items listed under value.
5) Select uninstall driver
6) Close the window. Now in device manager a new "Android Phone USB device" with a yellow! will appear... If not, Unplug your android device or select Action -> Scan.
Note: view optional steps below if you still have problem with the your windows automatically installing drivers.
7) Click on the "Android Phone USB device"
8) Select "browse my computer to driver software"
9) Under "search this location for driver", Browse for the location that you have unzip the android_usb_windows and select the corresponding folder for your system(AMD64 for 64bit systems or x86 for 32bit systems. Right click -> properties on "My Computer" to check which system you have)
The driver is now installed and is ready to use.r
***Optional.
1. Go to System under Control Pandel.
2. Click on Hardware Tab and Under "Device Installation" select “Never search windows update for drivers”, then OK.
3. Go to Enable debugging on your phone. (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging).
4. Run USBDeview and remove all instances of Android Phone
5. Unplug your phone, and plug it in again.
7. Continue on step 7) above.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Polaris. The whole driver installation process hangs while my device is connected. As soon as i disconnect it, it continues, but it then complaints about it being disconnected.

mine hung as well, what i ended up doing was turnng off the automatic installation. Then uninstalled the adb interface driver that was already installed. Then turning back on automatic installation. Then plugging phone back in and as it was installing automatically, manually installing the adb interface driver at the same time. Eventally the automatic install would error out and the manual install would work. It took like 15 or 20 minutes for it to finish.
when i uninstalled the adb interface, it turned into ''android phone'' in device manager. That was the driver i manually installed while the phone was automatically installing. I know it dont make much sense but it worked for me.
It looks like that will be my fate as well. It also says, that when I do the manual install of the ADB drivers that I already have the most current version installed!!! OH well, keep trying!
Same behavior on my pc with windows 7 32-bits.
When I have lucky the adb driver is connected (working correctly) for a few minutes and then it's disconnected.
i've tried various things to install adb driver, since last night but i've got nothing. i can't install adb driver for my xperia arc.
i installed sdk manager and usb driver. but when i try to install or update driver, i always see this message like "you're using the latest version". So i can't install it.
and also i've tried to uninstall driver and unplugged / plugged my device. then w7 automatically install driver. so i can't install adb driver again.
i want to root my phone, using this way at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560
so i must install adb driver, please help me.
thanks everybody
edit: i've windows 7 home premium, 64-bits
Has anyone been able to set up ADB drivers for Kindle Fire HD 7 for windows 8?
Kindle was rooted but when i switched to windows 8 i got some random 7.2.1 user update that i thought i had already gotten and now root is gone and i cant seem to get ADB driver to install, any ideas?
I installed the same way as I did on my Windows 7 box. Just follow the instructions posted here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
I am also trying to get the adb drivers installed, i used the guide you said to use and still it wont allow me to install the driver, just says the driver installation did not complete... =\ 64 bit windows 8 pro

Try this if you have not already.
1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer's USB port using the USB cable.
2. From the Start menu, right-click Computer and select Manage.
3. In the left pane, under Computer Management, expand System Tools, and click Device Manager.
4. In the right pane, locate and expand Other devices.
5. Right-click the device name Kindle and click Properties.
6. In the Kindle Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, then Confirm, and then unplug your device from your computer.
7. Then run the kindle fire adb drivers again.
8. Then plug in your kindle.
9. To confirm the device has been installed, from Start, click Control Panel, and then select Device Manager. In Device Manager, under Kindle Fire, the device will be included as Android Composite ADB Interface.
I did the above...it looks like its going to install but then i get the message 'install failed' during the setup....
I got Win 8 64bit. Delete the "signed_" part of "signed_kindlefirewinusba64/x86" files you'll be able to install it manually from the device manager.
However I still wasn't able to root my KF2 but that seems to be a different issue since the device is recognized as adb device in the device manager.
I've already got 2 versions of those files in the install directory 2 with the 'signed_' and 2 without?
Signed Drivers
Hey I installed the drivers through this:
1.Use the windowskey +I keyboard shortcut to bring the Chrams and click Change PC settings.
2.Navigate to General and under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
3.Now Windows 8 will restart in the advanced menu options, click on Troubleshoot.
4.Click on Advanced options.
5.Next, click the Startup Settings option from the menu.
6.The Startup Settings. From this page simply click Restart.
7.Now Windows 8 will reboot, but instead of going to the Desktop it will start in the Startup Settings page, from here hit F7 or the number 7. Then Windows will boot in a mode that will allow you to install unsigned device drivers in the operating system.
After this just install the drivers and your Kindle will connect with ADB
Hope that helps

This worked perfectly, thankyou very much
followed all instructions, doesn't work.
Drivers say they are installed. Computer does not recognize kindle.
Wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to figure this out. Giving up and trying on windows 7.
For those who are facing problem with installing driver in windows 8.1 here is the steps you need to follow:
1) you need to go to advance startup option, i am posting for windows 8.1 search how to go to advance startup option for windows 8 in google
a) Press win+ i on the bottom right you will find "change pc settings"
b) click it and choose update and recovery -> recovery -> Advance startup -> Restart now
2) Then in "change pc setting" menu choose Troubleshoot-> Advanced Options ->startup settings-> Restart
3) After restart you will find "startup settings" menu press "7" for "Disable driver signature enforcement" and wait until you pc get restarted.
4) To install drivers go to driver folder in folder most probably you will find it in "C:\Flashtool\drivers" or your flashtool installation location.
5) Double click on flashtools-drivers.exe, in installation menu press next, you will find "select components to installs" menu check flashmode drivers and fastboot drivers click install.
6) You will get some warnings choose install anyway.
You have to follow these six steps if you want to use flashtool on windows 8 or 8.1.
Bit pointless to share because searching "Flashtool windows 8/8.1" gave me these links:

Windows 10 Windows Technical Preview is available for more than a week. Since i have an extra old 40gb hdd for the shift, i decided to give it a try, and i can say that it works perfectly well. Everything works including touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth, modem, etc.
However installing the drivers may be a little tricky. Here are the steps:
1. Download Windows Technical Preview from microsoft website (download the x86 version)
2. Extract the .iso file to a usb stick (i used power iso to do that)
3. Plug the stick to the shift and boot from it
4. Follow on screen instruction to install windows
5. When done copy the drivers for the shift (you have the download link bellow the video ) to a stick
6. First install "VistaECDrvV" in compatibility with windows vista (right click on the file - properties - compatibilty tab- run this program in compatibility mode for: - select windows vista (service pack 2) !! do that for all of the drivers) - restart later
7. Install "TouchScreen"
After installing touch screen driver the touch should work - give a restart
8. Install "Synaptics MicroPad" - restart later
9. Install "shagctrl" ignore the Microsoft .NET Framework missing error - restart later
10. Install "Marvell Wifi driver" - restart later
11. Press the Win+R key combination and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and click on the Safe Boot check box - select minimal -apply -ok - restart
13. With windows booted in safe mode navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers right click on "sdbus.sys" -> properties -> security -> advanced -> owner TrustedInstaller click on change -> in the field labelled "enter the object name" type your username -> ok -> apply -> ok -> now back on security tab edit permissions -> click on users -> check all boxes from "permissions for users" tab on allow -> apply -> yes -> ok. Now delete "sdbus.sys"
14. Copy the "sdbus.sys" from the archive that i attached here to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
15. Press the Win+R key combination againg and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and unthick the Safe Boot check box - apply -ok - restart
16. You should have wifi working now - If you cannot find any wifi networks, as it was in my case, go to device manager - right click on the "Marvell sd8686 Wireless LAN SDIO Adapter" (the one without the exclamation mark if you have two) - properties - advanced - from the property box select 802.11D support - on the value box value box select enable. Your wifi should work ok now.
17. Install the "sherry driver 1.3" for the best performance of the video card.
18. That's it! enjoy
What i like most about windows 10 is that it have a "card view" of the running apps just like maemo 5 on noka n900, or the blackberry 10 os. Overall it runs a little better than windows 7 and similar with windows 8.1.
Maybe i will install it as a replacement for windows 8.1 update 1 on the main 120 gb hdd
Here is a small video to see how it runs:

14. Press the Win+R key combination againg and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and unthick the Safe Boot check box - apply -ok - restart
15. When booted in normal mode copy the files from the "wififix" archive, that i attached to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and restart

Excellent how-to. Clear and precise.
For those who want to perform it: taking a look at ryu1's comment in Post#14 is crucial!
You bring shift to future.
Also an interesting Video- as i see you've only 1GB RAM installed, and nevertheless your Shift runs pretty fast-
faster than mine with 2GB and Win7U.
Network connection, connection to SnapVue... i'm really amazed.
How long does it take to boot, and what about GPS?
Think i'll create a new partition on my 128GB SSD and run Win10 from there.
How large do you think should it be?

Well, i'm sure gps work ok (at least on the windows mobile side) but didn't tested on the windows 10 side.
For booting, i'm sure it take less than 1 minute, but don't know the exact time.
If you want to make a partition for win10, that should be at least 10 gb.
It would be really nice to see how it will run on your shift with 2gb of ram.
Please post the result if you install it
Made 20GB... had been frequently suggested for win8
Now taking a look if I've got a spare usb stick.
Maybe I'm missing something here. On my X9500 I can't get by the error about the 800 MHz processor. Maybe you are on a different model?
Same thing occured with win8 if i recall right... early releases worked fine, and later ones also came up with this problem. (It may have been with BenQ MID S6 instead Shift, I'll try to find out.)
Don't know if there had been some workaround.
As MS is continuously working on it, it may depend on the releases' date.
Mine dates october 20th, but i won't be able to test until next weekend.
If ryu1 doesn't have another idea, it may be useful to share the release he uses.
The processor should always be the same.

What error are you talking about? i installed windows 8, then 8.1 and now 10 but never got any error about cpu.
Are you sure you didn't download the 64 bit version?
Win 10 Technical Preview lists as a requirement:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
Error complained about lower specification.
It was the 32-bit version.
"error" may be the wrong word.
The problem had been discussed in the thread i have linked above.
Again: it may be interesting to know the date of release.

Maybe i've got it...
in your how-to you say "Plug the stick to the Shift and boot from it".
You mean plug it in, start your shift, enter boot options and select usb stick to boot from, right?
I had prepared my usb stick with powerISO, plugged it in, opened my stick in devicemanager and doubleclicked "Install".
And ran into "your device won't be able to run Win10 because of less than 1GHz".
Maybe this was my mistake, and i won't have this problem when booting from stick.
Will report asap.
That's it..
Just do what daddy told us
(And DON'T use windows installer.)
I haven't finished installation completely,
but right now i must say speed is amazing!
As some drivers are automatically installed to volume "C" i think i'll switch the names of C and X
(the partition i'm installing to), reinstall all drivers and then switch back.
edit: obsolete, win has done it by itself
Sorry for the delay, but i am very bussy these days. Anyway the installation mus be done by booting from usb stick, not via installer.
I have allready installed windows 10 on the main hdd instead of windows 8.1. There are a few things i forgot to mention on the first post, when booting into safe mode to delete the "dumpsd" and "sdbus" files you'll need permission to delete them. Just follow this instructions to change the permission: http://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-take-ownership-permission-of-a-file-or-folder-manually-in-windows/
That's what i just was about to ask you, as i am stuck at this point...
Will try later and report
Tomorrow.
edit: Think you should for your own sake update your initial post, concerning boot process and rightsmanagement.
Further visitors won't follow the whole thread and'll bomb you with questions.

Oh, by error I meant I received an error message when trying to do the install the way I had tried it. I will read the new information posted here, thanks all.
Finished installation yesterday, everything was fine, quick'n'clean when suddenly wifi stopped working.
Marvell shows error code 10 and winupdate seems to have installed a different adapter.
SD adapter same error.
Had a similar experience when i installed win7, but there i already had a restore point to return to,
and since then everything was fine.
Will make a clean reinstallation, and after adding the wififix disable wifi to avoid possible system updates
and create a basic restore point i can return to each time winupdate kills something.
Preview build 9879
Anyone managed to get the latest build to work. Mine gives a message that my display resolution is too low and stops the upgrade.
Shame really as this works very well on the Shift, and with rumours that win 10 could be free it would have been a good o/s for this computer.
Please post code 0f builtversion.
