Well, here we go.
First of all, I'm hardly new to the world of ADB. I've got a Nexus 7 and a Kindle Fire. I've set up ADB successfully on those devices (even though The Kindle Fire was a pain). Hoiwever, I'm completely flummoxed by the NookHD+. I'm running Windows 8 x64, I've disabled Driver Signature Enforcement (twice, to be on the safe side), followed the steps on the Nook Developers website to the letter, but keep hitting a dead end. I've verified I've got the correct drivers (downloaded from the Nook Developers site), I've got Android SDK installed, I've verified the Vendor ID as 0X2080 in the adb_usb.ini file, and even have the Nook SDK installed. Hoiwever, when ever I try to update the drivers in Device Manager, it displays "MyNOOK," and if I try to update the driver, I receive the following message:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work for Windows with x64-based systems."
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my system multiple times, disconnected and reconnected my device, tried different cables and ports, and still, nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone figure this out?

I don't know if I can help but I did succeed in installing the driver in win 8 x64. I got the B&N driver zip file from leapinlar's tips thread and followed the instructions from the B&N site. Nothing deviated much from their instructions except that I had to view hidden drivers in the windows device manager before I found "Other devices" and when I updated the driver I had to identify it as a Portable Device. I didn't connect the cable until the driver was installed. I do have certain developer options enabled on the Nook itself. I had previously gotten wireless adb working. For adb itself I needed to extract files from the most current Android SDK (leapinlar's older versions didn't work, at least not with CM 10.2).
BTW, I am totally new to adb.
Edit: Also, mine didn't say MyNOOK anywhere. It showed the device name in device manager, something like BN Nook HD+.

Hey guys, Im sure this is on here, I just cant seem to find it. Im running HC v4 on a SD card and when I try to ADB into it to install the market ADB doesnt see the device. I have usb debugging turned on, and ADB worked on my stock rom. Any suggestions?
Search for the nook color usb drivers on google. That worked for me at the following thread here on XDA: "[SCRIPT] Nook Color USB Drivers and ADB Setup (WinXP&7)"
I just worked through this the other day in my honeycomb .03 rooted nook. Follow the detailed directions on nookdevs (search "nookdevs: nook usb drivers"). Make sure you are admin on a windows PC while you do this. One other detail is to make sure to install the honeycomb labeled items in the SDK tool. You may not need them but they are in there so you might as well.
Are drivers always the cluprit?
I've been having similar problems with ADB not seeing my Nook. I did root it (Autonooter 3.0) and verified that USB Debugging shows to be on...and then downloaded the ADB set I found on XDA-Dev that had the full zip (adb and all) and another with just the USB drivers. But issuing the ADB command to list the devices found it still shows nothing in the list.
Are the right Nook USB drivers always the problem, since that seems to be the one thing everyone suggests trying/changing?
My ADB install never did try to use Windows Update to search for drivers (which we were warned about), and just to be safe I reran the second file to reinstall just the drivers. But at this point I'm at a loss what to try. So if it's invariably a problem with the USB drivers, well, I'm looking for pointers on a next step.
Thanks,
JTT
I am having this issue too, but USB drivers for Windows can't possibly apply as I'm running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
I'm guessing it has something to do with the version of ADB I'm running but I just did a fresh install of the SDK release 10, so I doubt that that is it too unless there is a particular ADB I need for Honeycomb?
Any help would be appreciated.
Guys try the same over wifi. Linky
try going into cwm recovery, go to "mounts and backups", and click the first option "mount system". then plug in the NC and, in a command prompt on the computer/laptop, kill the server, restart the server and look for devices again. also, make sure no other adb devices are connected to your computer/laptop (i.e. your phone)
i followed the directions on nook devs (mentioned above by bike4food) and all was like it said it should be by the end. unfortunately, the laptop still wasn't recognizing my NC. when i mounted the system like i described above, it recognized it.
good luck!
Hey all,
Have been following the instructions to install the adb drivers for the nook and they do not recognize them as the correct type of driver for the devise. I follow the instructions here nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB and when I get to the point that I am changing the driver for the nook I see that there is a problem. It always says that the Nook should be under Other Devices but I find mine under Portable Devices. Then when I try and search for the correct driver it never finds the Android Composite ADB Device driver. It finds WPD FileSystem Volume Driver. I force it to use a driver in the correct folder it says that the folder does not contain a valid driver.
Any Ideas.
Thanks
Windows 7
For some reason my nook won't show up in windows 7 device manager as anything but a storage device (both the nook and sdcard). It doesn't show up under "other hardware" like all the tutorials show. I am at a loss?
Should I reset my device (unroot, wipe clean, etc)? And try again or am I missing something.
I am looking to get ad hoc working and am stuck in the mud
Depending on what ROM you're running... you may need to go into nook color tools and toggle usb debugging mode... it is a known issue in some ROMs....
You may also need to edit %userprofile$\.android\adb_usb.ini so the only line in it is:
0x2080
anyone have problems in ubuntu 10.04 can't get it :'(
I figuered it might be that I had tried some different kerenels recently. I did eventually return to stock. I have toggled debugging mode to no avail.
I will follow the other instructions you provided and if all else fails wipe her clean and try that.
Thanks.

I have the same problem and am using the stock kernal. I have even tried two different computers (one with Win 7 and the other with XP) and get the same result. The first time it I tried with XP it showed "NookColor" under Other Devices with a ? mark. In just a second, it reloaded Device Manager and would never showed up again. I have tried all suggestions including the USB Debugging toggle with no positive results. By the way, I rooted using auto-nooter 3.0 for Nook Version 1.1. Everything seems to work well and I am using ADW Laucher EX. I am familiar with ADB as I used it root my Motorola Droid. In that case, I had no problems with it seeing my Droid.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I also have Ubuntu on a test computer that I may try if no solutions are found.

I had the same issue in Ubuntu 10.04. My Evo would show up fine. My NookColor I could not get to show up though. No matter what I tried (I tried all the walk throughs on forums, Nookdevs.com, etc).
I finally just gave up. I've just been moving APK's from my Evo to my Nook to install them. There are many other things I'd wish to do through ADB other then install apps though so I may give it another shot sometime soon.
If it worked in some ROM versions and not in others... you need to check the device ID in windows device manager... get the PID for the device listed.... then you will need to add the device PID to the .inf file for the drivers so it will know to use the drivers that work for the "new" device (not really new.. just HWID change in some new kernels/ROMs
I had a world of trouble getting getting my computer to recognize the nook so that ADB would recognize the device. I mean HOURS of debugging.
However.. good news!... The answer that can help you is...: screw it and just download adbwireless app. All you do is run the app while connected to your home network and then on your computer run the the command "adb connect 192.168.1.xxx:5555" and you are connected and can run adb just like you were USB'd up
I hope this helps
Recommend installing the easy ADB install for Windows from the developers forum.
On Win7, sometimes you need to force the driver to use "USB Composite device" or "Android composite USB device", even after doing the easy ADB installer above.
Managed to get ADB working after Autonooker 3.0, Nook 1.1
Hi, All,
I had similar problems. I managed after a bit of fuss on my mac to get ADB up and running.
The main problem seemed to be getting USB debugging working. I went into nook color tools, from ADW launcher. I went to All Settings : Development, and saw that USB debugging was checked, but I didn't believe it was running.
So, I unchecked both Auto Mount (to simplify what the heck was going on over USB) and USB debugging, and hit back, to save the settings. Then I went back into debugging, and re-checked USB debugging.
Then, I made sure that ~/.android/adb_usb.ini contained the line:
0x2080
I killed the adb server and restarted it, and voila, ADB.
Hope this helps some folks.

I am in the same boat, adb works fine on my other android device, but won't see my nook for anything.
I have tried every permutation I have seen of the rules file, still nothing.
HI,
I've had success installing my other android devices on my windows 7 x64 computer, have even used my (ADB) Nook Colour on a windows 7 32Bit laptop fine.
Problem: Android Composite ADB Driver wont install/ isn't found, Device is Auto Nootered on 1.1 using rooted stock firmware.
Tried:
I have the .android folder in my user profile dir with the device ID in it
Followed various wikis and guides (that worked for the 32Bit version)
Watched the driver load/unload in device manager as I tick 'Development Mode (enable ADB)'
Tried various driver packs from here and googles latest offering, still only matches up with Android ADB Driver not the Composite (wont even show me the composite one)
Wireless ADB works and is disabled, worried about installing CWM using wireless for some reason USB feels safer to me
Thinks I noticed:
Hardware ID is listed as USB\VID_2080&PID_0002 which matchs up with %SingleAdbInterface% in the ini file for the driver, composite aka %CompositeAdbInterface% has &MI_01 on the end. Not sure if that means its not getting the right hardware ID from the device when ADB/ Development mode is enabled of if having the wrong driver loaded on it shows up the wrong Hardware ID.
Things I havent tried, enabling ADB on the Nook using sqlite3 method, but if it works on another coputer didn't think it would be a good idea.
Plan:
Install CWM, flash CM7 or similar to device.
I had the same issues with Windows 7 64-bit and never got it working. Worked fine on my WinXP laptop at work though. If you find a solution I would be happy to hear it, but to be honest I have found I haven't really needed ADB much if at all.

Same here!
This one is weird...
I'm on win7x64 and I *have* got adb to work at times. When I was first rooting my new NC (1.1.0), I fiddled with it and I had it running over usb fine. But now, when I plug in the usb and I either get that the device is unrecognized or it goes into usb sync mode. Haven't quite figured that out...
But, ultimately, I just use adb wireless for any adb stuff, although it's "not recommended". It's worked perfect for me all along.

Glad to help. What do you mean USB Auto Mount? I kind of thought that should happen?
My goal for getting adb working was to get su, which i got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110 with a bit of trouble but seems to work, so that i could drag items from my pc onto HC. I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456 to mount the media directory. I now seem to have su installed and the USM app is working. i only see my BN media directory from my pc now (yay) but i can't browse that directory from my nook HC (boo). So i can't share files between eggclair and HC. I'm a noob to nook and newbe to linux, so i'm assuming it is a permissions issue but don't have enough knowledge on how to change them yet.
I've installed DropBox but it keeps asking for an SD card, which isn't a big issue, just i haven't found the time to go buy one. Is there a way to use db without an SD card?
unfortunately no, db requires external storage. if you opened the apk to recode its default directory maybe but im not sure its possible
usb auto mount I can disable in nook tools but its a persistant system that defaults every reboot, I dont like to see it popup while using the nook when I plug it in just one of many peeves
Things I noticed:
In the Driver ini it states &MI_01 means composite driver is installed.
Under Hardware ID I only get :
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&REV_0216
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
This leads me to believe that even though the box is ticked on my nootered Nook that its not really enabling ADB on the device (then maybe it would show &MI_01 as needed?)
Going to flash a new firmware.... maybe Froyo and see if it comes up right after that.

I thought that as well and flashed back to the EC 1.0.1, sideloaded 1.1 update and repartitioned, used cw to add HC back and all that, and still had the same issue. Came down to the ini file not having a NookColor section.
Did you check the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987409
I'm no stranger to drivers, I could force it to use the driver by changing the ini files but it still wouldn't appear in ADB Devices.
Flashed Nooky FroYo and now the device driver states the hardware ID has the missing '&MI_01' which means the composite driver works out of the box.
I used IOMonsters Easy USB installer and it seems to have installed the drivers for Windows 7 64Bit Fine
After running the install .exe I also had to execute the Inst64.exe

I tried to get Microsoft help they gave me the run around and confused me even more.
I tried to Go to Device Manager, under Portable Devices, right-click on MTP USB Device, and then click on Update Driver Software to update the MTP USB device driver. I then Selected “Browse my computer for driver software” to locate and install MTP USB device driver software manually.I then Selected “Let me pick from a List of device drivers on your computer”. A list will show installed driver software compatible with the device but I dont know what to pick

I choose from a list
when I plug in the kindle a different message comes up
"some computers require a free file transfer utility to copy files between the computer and you kindle."
I have WMP the latest version
what do I need to get this working is there something I can download and install to override this issue.
Is your version of windows 7 a non us versions, because that's what I believe his issue is. Also your PC should have a windows 7 key on it so u can always reformat it, but you need a disk, and if you don't have one I can't really help you obtain one because I am not aware of if its illegal to DL stuff u already own off then internet and i would rather not get banned from this forum if it is. However if MTP is very important and u absolutely need it, go to ubuntu's website and download a desktop live CD, if you don't know your processor type juse 32 bit, but most modern PC's are 64 bit. Anyways if all goes well after burning it to a cd or making a bootable flash drive, u can boot into a live os and it should have mtp and u can transfer stuff. I on the other hand cannot do this because I use an older version of Ubuntu on a small partition and it is a pain to upgrade distros and I hate the new interface, but from what I have read the new versions of Ubuntu will work with your kindle. You can always install Linux along side windows but if you don't know a thing about resizing partitions, then i wouldn't suggest it because u might wipe your windows os and that would suck. BTW ubuntu is completely legal compared to what I was questioning above about windows. Yay Linux!!!

how do I check the status of my windows OS and I am running UBUNTU 12.04 alongside my windows OS
Im not that familar with Ubuntu as I would like to. I tried to sync my kindle to ubuntu, try to root my kindle and it was very complex
more than on windows
Funny, I find it easier to root on Ubuntu than on windows, no driver problems and then binary bash script works the same way. I am unfamiliar with "syncing" a kindle, especially on Ubuntu, I never sync mine I just use it like I would a flash drive, drag and drop files to it. Should work the name way on Ubuntu I think, I use an older version of Ubuntu that can't open it as an MTP device, so i just push and pull with adb. My only problem with helping you doing this on Ubuntu is your using 12.04, and I don't use the new ones because I don't like the new interface, i use gnome based desktop environment. So I can't exactly say where to click to open the kindle, but if I had to guess you can simply open a nautilus window from that bar on the left of the screen, any thing on it that's a folder will do, from there there should be a pane on the left if the window where the kindle would show up as a device u can click and view the contents of. I'm kinda basing this off what happens when I use a camera or iPod on mine, I assume kindle would show up the same way. If this is not the case you may have to install a package for an MTP browser, again not familiar with the interface and from what I remember trying it last time they took out the synaptic package manager by default, so I would have to tell u a command to run in a terminal to install it instead if need be. Tell me how it goes I will try to help as much as I can.
I kinda feel like I put too much information in this post...
Oh and as for telling your windows os, it may tell if you right click my computer( on start menu) and hit properties. Another way to throw a guess at it is ask yourself "Do you live in the USA?". Windows I think will say something about it in the properties of my computer though, if not you can try running winver from the run box it may display something useful. I don't have my PC booted up into windows right now so i can't verify this, and I kinda host a minecraft server on it in Linux most of the time so I don't shut it down unless I need to and its empty.

The answer to get a Kindle recognised by Widnows 7
plug kindle into pc
ignore unpleasant driver message
enter device manager and click the following:
update driver software
browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select 'portable device' from the list
select 'standard mtp device' from the list
select 'mtp usb device' from the list
click next"
This worked after hours of trying to get my Kindle to work in windows 10!
