My PC has never been able to connect via adb, and after weeks of searching around, reinstalling drivers 99 times etc, I finally gave up. That was months ago.
Today I found my Nexus One wasn't able to connect either (yes, new drivers), I knew it was something with Windows. I am using Windows XP 64 bit and I found this:
Does adb not work on windows xp 64? I followed the directions and it didnt work.
no. But there is an unofficial driver for Vista x64 which works on XP x64 too. Read here.

Eureka! No wonder!!!
Unfortunately, the "fixed" file is extremely old, so it won't work for my G1, nor especially for the Nexus One.
Has anyone out there been able to use adb with ANY Android device on Windows XP 64 bit?
No. I used to use Windows XP 64-bit. You need to upgrade to a new operating system, trust me.
Edit: The one guy who says the drivers work on xp-64 is incorrect or simply lying. I wasted a lot of time thanks to that jackass post.
I'm on win 7 64-bit and it connected without a hiccup.

THANK YOU
Finally, someone else in the same boat! People kept telling me to reinstall drivers a billion times. Now I know it's true. Thanks!

Windows 7 64 =/= Windows XP 64
Also just found this:
I think this has something to do with 64-bit Windows not being supported by the drivers.

k0z you are incorrect. I just looked at my usb_driver folder included with the android sdk, it shows the files: androidwinusba64.cat, and a folder named amd64 for 64 bit installations, along with an i386 folder and androidwinusb86.cat for 32 bit installations.

Just because there is a folder and some files for it, doesn't mean it works.
That's why I'm asking if there's anyone who has *actually used* adb on Windows XP 64 bit.

actually, thats exactly what it means. the androidwinusb64.cat is the catalog for windows 64 bit.
EDIT: Just follow this guide, but use the latest adb drivers not the one provided in the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Latest drivers are found here: http://djdoprkngutub.cloudfront.net/usb_driver.zip
While I'm sure a number of attempts have been made, and it's even possible that there are successful drivers out there now, I find this highly unlikely and I know that I personally wasted too much time trying to get this to work on my XP-64 machine.
There's really no support any more for Windows XP-64, in regards to Android or anything else as far as I can tell. Vista sucked, but it's time for you to make the jump to 7 I think

I found these files as well, none of them ever worked. Does this one work? Have you used it? Furthermore, it doesn't look like any of these indicate that they are for Windows XP at all.
well I am not sure that it works on XP 64, but It has been confirmed working on 64 bit Vista and 7.

Have you tried it? Do you know of anyone who has gotten it working? That's my point
Trust me, I've researched this for weeks on end. I know how to install adb.
And now that I see others with the same problem, I know it's just not possible.

Yes, I know. But not Windows XP 64. ([Edit]: Just updated the title for clarity.) Until there is someone who has gotten it working on XP 64, I am 100% sure it's not possible.
Tell you what. Make a video of you clearly showing that you're running Windows XP 64 bit and adb working, throw it on YouTube, and I'll donate $10 to you. Sound good?
Windows XP? do you know what year this is?

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Just because a newer version is out, doesn't mean everyone on the planet will magically stop using XP.
If Microsoft had their way, we'd have arbitrary full OS updates every year. Obsolescence express!
I just spent the past 4 hours backing up 35 GB of data to DVDRs, reformatting my hard drive, installing Windows XP 32 bit, and reinstalling all hardware drivers etc.
I now just plugged in my G1, installed the usb drivers and BOOM, adb works perfectly.
I'm now 1000% sure that the Android usb drivers cannot be used in Windows XP 64 Bit. Hopefully this helps others out there.

I have not purchased Windows 7.
I never said purchase
I confirm also here that USB drivers shipped with android SDK does not work on Windows XP 64 bit. The phone is correctly recognized by OS but ADB does not list any device.
Is there any news about this issue?
Hello,
I am a Windows user and want to try Linux on my pc. It's possible to install Linux if i came from Windows ? If yes, then how ?
Of course it's possible, Linux is an awesome OS, I'm using Ubuntu it looks wonderful and works amazingly fast.
If you want to use ubuntu take a look at
http://www.ubuntu.com/
You can choose to use Linux as your only OS or dual boot with windows, if you have issues or if you don't know how to install it, you can try wubi
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
if you have a USB stick use Unetbootin or something like that to install linux on the stick. Once you have it on a stick you can boot and run linux off the stick so that nothing ever happens to your HD.
Also, once you download linux (most if not all) distros allow you run the OS to check it out and see if the drivers are compatible etc. Have a look...there are Many distros, they all have their place.
Ya, i know Linux is a great OS. I heard that it's more appropriate OS for such things like Android hacking, developing because Android OS is based on Linux.
In terms of installation, i'd prefer method using a DVD disc. So, what version i need to download and burn to the disc ?
What sort of specification is the PC that you want to run Linux on? If it's a fairly modern PC then you might be better placed downloading a copy of VMware Player and a VM Image of a Linux distro (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora) - that way you can just run it without affecting your PC at all or having to worry about USB booting, dual-booting etc.

My laptop spec's: 2-core x64 bit intel cpu, 2gb of ram, 256mb vga, 1366 x 768 resolution.
Actually i'd like to run with dual-boot... Windows 7+Linux. So, which is better - Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora ? Gonna use more for android development purposes, not for gaming. Any suggestions guys ?

Before you run dual-boot, download each of the distros and run them as a Live image - try them out for a while. Mint is an improvement (IMHO) on Ubuntu, but they are very much the same base. Fedora is totally different.
I personally use Linux Mint. I have found that it integrates very well with everything I tend to use my computer for. To get a good base of what you like, I would recommend trying out both Linux Mint and OpenSuse live disks before you install one.
In the meantime, check out Wubi .
What is Wubi?
Wubi is an officially supported installer for Windows users that allows Ubuntu to be installed and uninstalled in a safe, easy way as with any other Windows application.

Here is a list of the top 100 linux distros. It is also a news site and good general knowledge.
Out of the options above, if you want only to use it for android and nothing else, go for Mint, it will most likely 'work' the best. But later on as you learn linux you will want to change and try other distros.
You can also have different window managers on one distro...personally I love E17 but it is underdeveloped. Have a look at the website above.
Moved to Off-Topic.

WUBI can only do 30GB installation though. How can you do an installation that is bigger than that?
I love ubuntu

Ok so I tried installing Ubuntu but some error happened (something about it not being able to save the bootloader or something like that) and it cancelled the installation. Now I boot into windows and when I go into Disk Management there's 37GB of free space that I can't do anything to. I can't delete it to expand C drive. So I've got 37 GB sitting around not doing anything. wtf do I do?
When I try to delete it gives me this error.

Windows cant read EXT2/3/4 partitions that are used in linux so as far as windows is concerened that part of the hard drive does not exist. as such the built in windows partition editor cant work with it
i use a live linux distro callled PartedMagic. it fits on a 1 gig USBstick all the instructions for creating that stick are on their site. from there you can resize your windows partition to reclaim that space. or you can reformat it to NTFS so that windows can see it as another drive. PartedMagic is also great for accessing your data should windows refuse to boot and accessing the OEM partition so you can reinstall windows if a virus screws it up.
If you resize a windows partition dont be alarmed if windows gose through its check disk routine on its first boot. Widows usually has a little freakout every time you resize its partition.
Of course it's possible!
But it depends on what you mean by install...?
Do you wish to virtualize it or actually install it to a physical partition?
Linux is an amazing OS, I've been thinking of switching to it full time, and just virtualizing windows on it. I recommend Linux Mint.

You can try GParted
freebsd compilation will go or not?
Use the WUBI installer. Some folks say it's a bit slower than running Ubuntu on a dedicated partition, but on your dual core pc, you'll never see a difference. Some say a WUBI install is less stable, but I've been using the same WUBI installation for over a year with not a single problem. It is true that it will only install up to 30 Gb but you can re-size your disk.img however big you want later if you decide you need more space, and you also have access to your Windows HDD space from within Ubuntu. Installation is super simple, and you won't have to mess with partitioning your HDD. I would go with Ubuntu 10.10 personally, because 11.XX uses the Unity gui and I think Unity sucks compared to Gnome2 which comes with 10.XX.

Hi since this phone has intel arm tech it should be possibke to run windows xp is this possible is anyone working on it etc.
Drivers would be a huge problem. Especially for xp. Windows 7 would have the better chance. Maybe a netbook version.

I am not sure but I suggest that the problems way start with the bootloader. As far as I remember will the MBR at the RAZR complete different as at the PC
In theory I think the RAZRi could run any ARM-supporting operating system. But as a previous poster has said, the MBR that it uses is completely different - and as such, installing any proprietary Windows version on it will be impossible without heavy modification to the Windows installer. The best chance would be an ARM-based Windows flash to the device - hence bypassing the install method - but you'd have to have great faith in your flash image before doing it..
Hi, the Atom in our Razr I is an x86 CPU, not an ARM. This means you cannot run any ARM systems on the Atom!
Woops silly me - of course it is My mistake!
I am using lenovo win 10 laptop which has i5 processor.
I tried to install remixos player but when i click on remixos player.exe it doesn't open.
Virtualization is enabled in bios also tried again after uninstalling avast antivirus but still it doesn't opens.
Any solution?
Same problem here, I have an Intel i5 4Gb integrated graphics and the .exe won't open. I think this emulator is still very green, will test it again the next month maybe.

Hi,
Probably you all have installed a 32bit Windows and sadly 32bit and amd isnt supported yet
If you install 64bit windows you wont have any problem.

Hi!!
As under the title I have this Samsung Galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 tab.
My question is:
1) Can I Insert Operating System Windows 10 64 Bit?
2) Possibility to Insert Ubuntu 64 Bit Operating System?
3) Possibility to Insert Operating System Kali Linux 64 Bit?
Are these three operating systems compatible with my samsung galaxy tab s2 SM-T715?
If there are any solutions, how do I install these OSs on my tablet?
Thank you for answering.
Nope.

Besides the fact that even if the processor WAS compatible, the tablet wasn't made with the ability to do that
1) That runs on x86, the tablet uses ARM. In short, incompatible.
2) Incompatible, it runs x86.
3) Incompatible, it runs x86
Ubuntu Touch was made to be able to be installed on Android phones and tablets. If you want to install Ubuntu Touch, you need to have a supported device, AND an unlocked bootloader. Ubuntu Touch was abandoned long ago, so there's no more support, especially for this device.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
In short, PC operating systems were not made to run on a non-PC tablet. If you want to do that, you can get an actual PC tablet, like Surface Pro. This tablet was made for ARM / Android, and no other.
... Aww, it's too bad. The situation seems so grim... Wait!! Is there actually a clever way to do it?! I saved the best for last! There are a few interesting methods out there which may actually get you a full Linux Desktop environent ON your phone. Read this article. P.S. Kali and Ubuntu are included
