Help with ADB

When I tried to install it, it failed and now when I try again it says
bad image
C;\windows
system32\wdcoinstaller01005.dll is either not designed to run windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support

you dont install anything. you extract the android sdk into the c:\. then you copy the two files mention in the thread to c:\windows\system32. you then go to start>run>cmd(enter). type adb devices. ADB is ALL COMMAND LINE. THERE IS NO PROGRAM YOU INSTALL

what two files?

~sigh~ are you sure you read how to do this at all?
adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll are the two files that need to go to system32
and then install the drivers from your usb_driver folder from the SDK. Use the AMD one if you're using a 64bit OS or the Intel one for 32bit OS.

Okay but I get a problem at
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
I get a problem at this part when I click install drivers from my pc it pops up an error

System Restore and try it again.

that has nothing to do with adb. that means your driver installer that is resident in windows is corrupted. unless you can system restore to a point at which it was working, the only real fix is going to be a new windows install. not entirely sure how one breaks the library for installing device drivers, but hey, thats what you've got.

Ok the problem was solved when I used my other computer.

ADB Driver installation issues Windows 7

Hello,
I wanted to root my new Sony Xperia T and I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
However I needed to install the ADB drivers and I am having extreme difficulties in doing so. From my limited knowledge on the subject I guessed that the ADB drivers are installed when I plug my phone into my computer. When I plugged my phone in windows installed two drivers. When I then went into device manager to see if my phone was registered as an android device but it wasn't. It was instead listed as a portable device. I also tried running
Code:
adb devices
but this ended up with an empty list. Despite this my phone appears in My Computer and I can transfer files to and from it easily.
After looking on the internet for a while I found I needed a few things installed. So I removed the drivers, installed the Android SDK with SDK-tools and the Sony PC companion as well as turn my phone to USB debugging. I then retried windows installed the same two drivers and it again was listed as a portable device.
I looked up this issue and found suggestions to restart the SDK-tools ADB server, restart my phone, update drivers, unlock my phone and install PDaNet. These all ended with the same result. I also found a suggestion to update the drivers by going into the Android SDK and using the driver in there. This didn't work though as Windows said the current version of the driver is the most up to date. I tried various techniques suggested to get around this but I was unable to.
Any help on how to install these drivers is greatly appreciated. My phone is about a month old, unrooted, Sony Xperia T (LT30p). My computer runs Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
Thanks,
JamesStewy
(I may have forgotten some of the things I tried to get it to work yesterday so please suggest anything )

It was kind of nightmarish to get the phone recognized for me as well. I managed to solve it (after may trials and errors) by manually "updating" the phone drivers once it was connected with the ones in the pccompanion folder; specifically the ones called sa0105...

Is there another way of installing the driver? I also previously tried getting windows to not install the drivers when I plugged my phone in but nothing I could find on the internet worked.

Flashtool is THE tool for use with xperia devices. Look in the first thread of the development section.
It should be the first thing you download when you get an xperia device.
EDIT
No need to post your thanks. If you feel the need to express gratitude to anyone on xda just their thanks button

The way I did it was to plug the phone in, wait till the automatic driver installation failed, and then in the device manager I selected the phone and went thru the "update drivers" procedure. You must select the specific folder where that driver is, not the parent, or windows won't detect it. In my case that folder is named
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Sony PC Companion\Drivers\{2CD1390C-A74E-434A-B652-73D3683B3BEF}
which is quite a weird name; just look for the folder with sa0105* drivers inside, and that's the one.
By the way, I never had a "WPD composite device". This is how it is shown now in device manager:

I saw this method on the internet but the weird thing is is that the drivers install correctly, first time, every time. See attached pictures.

¿Could it be that you have two phones detected?, as my pc only shows "Xperia T", no trace of "LT30p"; and the adb driver is in a category of its own.

I have no idea. I only have one thing connected to my computer which is my phone. I don't have an adb, Sony or android node in device manager at all.
JamesStewy

I don't know what else to tell you then. You might try uninstalling the LT30p, and forcing the upgrade to the pccompanion drivers I talked about before. But this is a wild guess, I can't really help you any further.

It's your adb installation correct. Have your added it to the path in environment.
Do you have usb debugging on in settings on your phone.
What was the error when you installed the flash tool drivers
What dies flash tool say when you attach the phone whilst it is open.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.
I have never heard of this issue and just installing flash tool and/or pccompanion is enough to install all the drivers

I am not sure. Is the adb installation part of the Android SDK platform-tools? If so I think it is. I can use all the commands such as adb devices but this returns and empty list. And yes it is in my PATH environment variable.

Is the flash tool called EMMA or something? I downloaded it of Sony's site here: developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. If so I can't get in because I am still waiting for a confirmation email.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.

When I uninstall them and plug my phone back in the drivers on the phone install to my computer. Pictures attached. These drivers have nothing to do with ADB and only allow Windows to transfer files to my phone.

No, flashtool I'd found in the first post in the development section.
Please download it, install it, and ruin the driver.exe found in the driver folder of flashtool in the installation path.

Xperia T - adb problems
I also tried all sort of things until this:
- you must put your phone in Mass Storage mode, as default is MTP mode.
As simple as that.
On your phone (unpluged) - Settings / Xperia / USB Connectivity / USB Connection Mode - and select MASS Storage, not MTP. I did uncheck Install PC Companion. Plug USB back, put your phone in debugging mode - It work right away. No need to Update drivers, no need to change the android_winusb.inf. You may need to kill adb.exe before trying again adb devices.
That was it for me

Hi laplada27,
Thanks for your reply. When I get home today I will give that a go.
Thanks,

Installing drivers 8.1
I am trying currently to update my T, it has an unlocked bl that I did when I first got it in Dec 12.
I am running w8.1 64 bit.
Tried both mass storage mode & mtp mode.
I have the latest 64 bit version of flashtool installed.
I am trying to flash the 295 generic ce ftf android 4.3 update, no problems with the ftf itself.
The error flashtool spits out is that the drivers are not installed, either the adb or flashmode drivers.
I have repeatedly tried to install the drivers that come with flashtool, and it appears that they install, but
there are a few that won't, I think namely the above.
I note that when I have device manager open, it detects the T, when plugged in in flashmode (i.e. turned off, with volume down)
as an s1boot device. I have intercepted device manager several times when it does this, in order to try and update the drivers
by hand, but no luck.
When I first plugged the T in in flashmode mode, it installed some drivers automatically, however, not ones that will allow flashtool
to work.
In truth I am now scratching my head as to what to do next.
I never had any problems with w7 64 ultimate flashing the T, solid as a rock, all the drivers would install as required, and I am
thinking the easiest way to update my T would be to use a w7 based machine, however, if anyone has any more ideas as to
what might help me flash it using 8.1 then I would be very grateful to hear them.
TheGSL

I think there is a patch for Windows 8.1... Search the forum and you will find it.
Good luck!

Just extract the downloaded zip file and you will get a folder named adt bundle where you should find SDK Manager in it.
Just run it normaly and u should see the menu for installing the different android sdk versions.
You can choose only 4.1 and 4.2 or install all of them, it's your choice.
No Problem, mate.

The old Kit had the 4.1.2 drivers in it, and now you need the 4.2.2 drivers for your device.
I recommend you to install the latest SDK and Toolkit to prevent problems in the future.

Installing Flashtool drivers (MacOS)

Hello. I am trying to follow this rooting guide .
I am stuck on the following point:
3. ....... Install flashtool, navigate to its folder, and open folder called Drivers and install following drivers: Flashmode drivers,fastboot drivers and xperia z3 compact drivers.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As I am using MacOS, I look in the contents folder of the Flashtool application, but I cannot see a file called 'Drivers' or similar anywhere.
Flashtool seems to detect my phone without issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think MacOS doesn't need drivers as I believe it is the same with Linux it should work out of the box as is.

HTC Incredible S alive again! S-Off not possible at the moment, though.

Hi all,
First of all I would like to say how awesome this site has been. I knew nothing about my first venture into rooting a phone so this has been a learning experience.
Right - now for those who have a HTC Incredible S and are looking to breathe some new life into this device (like I have purely for giving to my son to watch YouTube - so no calling, texting, etc) this is what I did (all information sourced from various threads on XDA and some external links as well):
1. Read through the following guide: {[GUIDE]} HTC Incredible S Unlock Bootloader, flash recovery, Root, S-OFF. Note: It appears that it is no longer possible to get S-OFF due to the Revolutionary site no longer existing. So you will have to stop at the end of Step 5.
2. Assuming you are using Windows 10 I had to do the following in order to successfully connect to the HTC Incredible S using fastboot/adb:
1. Install HTC Sync.
2. Once you have done this go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features then uninstall the HTC Sync program (the one with the sync icon) but leave the drivers etc installed.
3. Then download and install the Android SDK and update it as per the instructions https://www.andreszsogon.com/using-android-8-and-9-emulators-without-android-studio/
4. You then want to create a folder called C:\Android.
5. Now browse to the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and copy the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll files to C:\Android.
6. Now make the changes to the registry. Put this in a *.reg file (with your texteditor and rename the file to e.g. import.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
Then import that import.reg via regeditor (as admin) into your registry. Then reboot your computer.
7. Restart your PC.
8. If you are unlocking the bootloader for your HTC device - put the "fastboot.exe" file from the HTC Dev webpage (https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/) here as well. Also put any recovery mods, roms, etc here as well.
9. Make sure - if you can that - that you boot your phone normally and go into the settings and turn USB Debugging "ON" and Fastboot "Off" (the second one is you can get to the bootloader on your phone using the appropriate key combinations). You may also want to turn on the option to install apps from unknown sources. Power off your phone.
10. Now turn on your phone into Fastboot mode then connect it to the PC it should change to Fastboot USB.
11. Open a command prompt as administrator and browse to C:\Android. You should now be able to use the Fastboot command.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. You should now be able to complete steps 2 - 5 from the guide.
4. For my HTC Incredible S I went with the following:
Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.0 (download it here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img)
Root obtained using SuperUser 3.1.3 (filename is Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39959468#post39959468)
Installed Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 for vivo (download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127020) [EDIT: You may or may not need to also install this patch for it as well https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38765296&postcount=493]
Installed Google Apps (Gapps) (download it here: https://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/ Just scroll down until you get to Gapps CyanogenMod 10.1)
