I got it working on win7 Ultimate version
This works for Windows 7 Home Premium Edition as well.
In order to get ADB working on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) I had to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (I may have created this file for the G1) and add:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
What I was seeing was the device would sort of show up when I ran adb devices, but it would list ????????? as the ID and no permissions.

I was able to access it by using dream, magic and adb testing device didnt need any specific driver.

You need the latest refresh of the drivers (and tools for updated fastboot, etc.) from the SDK. If you go to a Windows command prompt and run Android, assuming the tools directory is in your path, you can select the update for both. It will fail in updating tools, since you are using an app in it, but don't close the app, just reapply at that point and it will work on the second go. Then when you install the N1, you will have the drivers you need to install as before.
Not meaning to argue with you but what I was saying is I have had no issues doing anything via adb with it as a magic I have done fastboot as well hey maybe its just working for me.

Hmm...I have that already in my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (mine has .rules, not -rules...I'm assuming that's a typo in your post?) and I'm still coming up with ?????????? as the device and no permissions, all attempts to do anything with adb result in it telling me I don't have permission to do these things.

Yah that was a typo.. The no permissions error appears to me that adb doesn't have access to the /dev/ devices used. I'm not at home so I cannot lookup what device is created and used in /dev/ for you to check the permissions. I know I killed the adb server and restarted it a few times while trying to get mine to work, along with updating to the latest sdk. So you may want to try those things, you could also try running adb as root and seeing if that fixes it (if so, then it's a simple permission error with udev not creating it with correct permissions).
Alrighty, I think I got it. I'm no udev expert (in fact, I'm rather useless at it), but this worked for me.
1) Make sure USB debugging is turned on on the phone.
2) Plug the phone into the USB port on the machine.
3) Make sure /etc/udev/51-android.rules has
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

in it.

Hey guys, I have the Android 1.5 SDK/ADB installed on my computer.. so I don't know what will happen when I mount my N1 (haven't tried yet). I want to be able to mount my N1 normally without ADB or anything, 'cause I'm not going to root it for a while. Thanks!
Confirmed on Vista
I can confirm that the instructions in the OP work on Vista. Thanks a lot, th3fallen.

Nothing will happen, ADB doesn't start interacting with your phone without you explicitly telling it to. Also, if you don't have debugging turned on on your phone, then it won't even if you do explicitly tell it to. Feel free to mount the drive on it.
ADB and Root
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get ADB to recognize my phone. ADB is all set up correctly, I have it updated (I believe) to the most recent version. I installed the updated USB driver and I see the "Android Phone" in my device manager. I have USB Debugging checked off in my phone settings. ADB worked fine for my G1, but it doesn't recognize my Nexus One.
I shouldn't have to root the phone to have ADB working should I? Can anybody think of something I overlooked? I am running Windows XP Professional SP3
Okay, so I navigated to the "1.1-nexusone-superboot" folder in the command prompt and tried
Code:
adb-windows devices
and my device showed up. Now I want to move those files to where I originally had my adb files in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools so that all I have to type is
Code:
adb devices
to have my phone listed. I tried replacing the files in my \tools folder and renaming them to what they were named before, but that didn't work. Could somebody please help me get this set up properly?

in your command prompt you have to be in the c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ directory for it to work

I was having the same problem yesterday. But i'm on Vista. Nothing seemed to work, but ADB was working fine on my Mytouch. At any rate, I ended up going to download the most recent SDK and trying adb again from a command prompt @ the tools location of the newest SDK, and then everything worked. I don't know if that was something I should have done in the first place and I just didn't know it (duh), but that's what worked for me.
im trying to set up a adb so i can use my g1 as a webcam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4975656&postcount=17
however when i plug in my g1 it says everything was installed except the adb.
Do you have ADB setup on your computer in the first place? If not, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719.
I installed the adb with the sdk as it was mentioned and my computer still doesnt show my phone as an adb device
Did you install the drivers for adb?

Search for pdanet and install it. That's how I set up adb for Windows. (Btw - get rid of Windows. Finally did my switch to ubuntu today - ahahahahahahaha I'm sad I ever even used Windows.)
Yea, but adb is kind of a ***** about permissions and such on ubuntu. But each has its quarks.
@85mario85 - You have to cd to the adb.exe in the tools folder ie. c:\sdk\tools\ then run adb. Or add it to the paths part, but I can't remember at the moment.

adding it to the path just saves time. instead of having to cd all the time you can just run adb. i highly suggest it. and i agree - ubuntu is a ***** about permissions all the time. i love it, but i have to learn to use it. however, i'll probably always have a copy of windows in case i can't find out how to do something and have to have it done. better safe than sorry. =]
I have tried every process I can find in the forum regarding rooting and ADB but I cannot seem to figure this out. I would like to think that I am computer literate and that I know my way around pretty well but somehow this escapes me. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and can't seem to get anything right as far as this process goes.

is your problem your computer not seeing the phone?
i RUU'd my phone earlier today to test out something i did, but then i found out that adb couldn't connect anymore. i'm still trying to figure it out.
Exactly what are ya having problems with?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
1. HTC Sync installed?
2. Android SDK downloaded?
3. Debugging enabled on the phone?
4. is ADB showing up in the Device manager?
5. Check this thread out dealing with x64 drivers

Hmmm..
I have Win7 64bit too
I think I just downloaded the newest Android SDK and HtcSync for the Eris. It
works fine for me. What exactly is the issue? You have the phone in debug mode or whatever mode right?
some folks have used PdaNet
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
first off, I can't get Sync to work at all no matter which version I've tried. Then the drivers won't load for sdk. it just seems like nothing is working together at all.
alright, i figured it out.
uninstall HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers.
reinstall.
done.

Alright... what's your main problem? Are you not able to get the ADB driver to work with your phone in Windows 7 64 bit -- if so, do know that it is possible, because I have it working fine on my computer (Win 7 64B).
If ADB driver situation is your problem, do as follows:
1. Download the file below (to desktop for easy access - This is the Vista 64 bit Drivers)
2. Unzip
3. Go to Device Manager
4. Find ADB (It should come up as ADB with a Yellow Exclamation mark next to it)
5. Right click on it, choose update driver
6. When it asks you to auto find the driver or browse for the driver -- choose BROWSE.
7. Set the path to where you downloaded the file, and then click next.
8. If done correctly, you should see a window pop up that says "Successfully installed My HTC driver".
ADB will work after that is complete. To test, open CMD - go to androidsdk\tools folder, and then run adb devices (If serial # appears, there you have it).
Also with the method above, this will allow the HTC Sync application to work as well.
Source: ME, tested extensively and more than once.

HTC Sync for the Hero was released before Win7, so the Vista drivers will work but you have to jump through some hoops.
Now the Eris version is the same HTC Sync but it has drivers for Windows 7, it is the same software but is bundled with newer drivers.
Roger that guys, thanks for the help. I will attempt tonight when I get back to my computer.
Ok just got home and am doing the suggested things, after installing the SDK it wants me to install packages and when I choose cancel, windows says the program was not installed correctly. what do i need to install?!
Also no ADB in device manager!
yeah they took out the packages of the SDK, so you have to add them in as needed.
I have a 2nd Win7 box that's an Android virgin, I will try and run through the install tonight(off at 5pm PST)when I get home and I'll document the install.
hang in there.

That would be awesome, I'm at the point where I am just about to give up. I have never been so frustrated with a computer. This is the first Windows 7 system I have done anything with and I already don't like it.

Install packages? What? Weird, the Android SDK is natively 32 bit, but will work in Windows 7 64 BIT (That's what I'm running now).
Alright, steps to take:
1. Uninstall/remove everything you did before.
2. Grab the Windows Android SDK -- download it (to the desktop is fine)
3. UNZIP/Extract the SDK
4. Drag the Android SDK to the root of your drive (Local Disk C: )
5. For easy access purposes, RENAME the Android SDK from what you see to something like: androidsdk
6. Open Command Prompt
7. Verify that you can get to the "androidsdk" directory by running the command: cd androidsdk\tools
8. If you can get there -- then good, so far.
9. Now to test "adb" -- Have your phone connected to the PC.
10. While still in command prompt and STILL in the c:\androidsdk\tools: dir... run command: adb devices
11. This should return your Serial #
12. If your serial # shows up, then make sure you can run the command adb shell and see if you get the # sign, which indicates that you are rooted -- If not, then you need to begin the process of rooting your phone.
Also, if ADB doesn't work after this point, do what I told you earlier, I can guarantee that it does work, because I actually did it this morning on my work computer (Which is Windows 7 64 Bit).
Good luck, report back.
Holy crap it looks like it worked!! Thanks Pseudo! Now if I could only get my damn phone to find Sync I'd be all set.
Still can't get sync to register with phone but that's no biggie. But have a small issue that I dunno where to look to find an answer. I'm trying to update my recovery from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 and can't seem to follow the directions appropriately.
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
None of that seems to work lol.
So since we're on the subject does anyone know how to set up the drivers for linux mint kde? I'm brand new to linux and I've managed to do some things but that is just one thing that i cant do so far and after almost a day pf searching this forum and others i just cant seem to get it

First off, no problem for the help -- glad it worked. What ROM are you currently running, that would be helpful in solving your sync issue.

Alright, lets begin - To upgrade to RA 1.6.2, (You have to be in recovery mode (Home + Power) -- and also have your phone connected to the PC). Then do as follows:
1. Download the 1.6.2 file
2. Copy or move it to your androidsdk\tools folder
3. Run commands below:
Code:
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
Code:
mount -a
You'll probably get the next line below -- that's okay.
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory
Keep going...
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
After you do this, the shell should return #, if it does, then run:
Code:
reboot recovery
Now verify that your recovery says 1.6.2.
Good luck.

Well, since you've asked a good question, I shall direct you in the right direction. Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, so this guide should work for you., however do note that I have not tested this in Linux Mint, as I currently run Ubuntu 9.10, but you should be okay.
Go HERE and bookmark this page for reference, it has some good stuff -- Now this guide is not directly for our phones (CDMA HERO), however the directions, if followed correctly... DO WORK and have been tested by me (did this last night) with successful results.
When you get to the web page, start at "Generic Linux Instructions". Also, when you get to the heading "Set up ubuntu to recognize your phone, and the adb/fastboot commands in the terminal" -- step 4 will ask you to create an empty file, use the Ubuntu 9.10 format and NOT the older versions, again this format should work in the latest version of Linux Mint.
Hope that helps. Also, if have problems or want a step by step tutorial (pending how "new" to Linux you are), just ask me or PM me, I'll write one up.
I didn't really know where to put this question, but since it involves my Nexus One I put it here. I put Ubuntu 10.04 on a old Compaq V2000 laptop that I resurrected from the dead, and it's running beautifully. I spend more time on my Ubuntu machine then my new Toshiba/w/ W7. Anyway I need things working like I have on my Toshiba. I set up ADB after getting bits and pieces of information here and there, I just could never get fastboot to work for my N1, except when I'm in fastboot and I plug in my usb it changes from fastboot to fastboot usb, so it's recognized in fastboot, well sorta. But, when I run fastboot devices the terminal just hangs on >>waiting for device<<. Now I have another problem, adb works just fine, but yesterday I used it and where the number of your devices appears is blank now, no number shows up, but I can still run commands. I've done just about everything and I'm at a loss here. Some real help here, no snide remarks, and no [email protected], I need dev help or someone familiar with Ubuntu 10.04, or if you've had this problem lend some help. Once again I already have adb setup, but my number isn't showing anymore, and I need fastboot working, and yes I gave it executable permissions, I exported my path, I created my android rules, I edited my .bashrc file. Thanks much in advance. Long Live Linux!!!!!!
I'm good, found a executable script that solved my problem.
I think you just had to sudo adb. It's always polite to post what you did to fix a problem that way someone can search and find the answer, not just a question that says fixed.

I said in my post that I used a executable script, I mean thats all you should need to know. I read about it somewhere, that's all I needed to know, and I found it on my own. They have nuff post on how to setup your adb, but none are 100%, so you have to take bits and pieces from them, and kinda wing it from there. I don't sudo adb on my system, sudo adb =can't be found. It would be senseles to have to type sudo every time you wanted to run adb, I have my to autostart as root as soon as I run adb. If someone needed help all they have to do is ask. Since this post I've had to re-install ubuntu 3 times and I've gotten my adb & fastboot working with the same method I used the first time. I have my adb setup where I can push and pull from any directory, so I don't fill up my tools directory with too many files, and so I don't have to move files, I can just push & pull to & from anywhere.
Perhaps you can share the script you found?
Dude, chill out. The guides are fine and 100%. I don't need to know ****, I know how to setup adb. How the hell is someone going to find that script when you didn't link it.
First, you have to tell sudo where to look for adb, you obviously didn't link it init.d or some other way to tell the software what to do with adb. You have to do 'sudo /home/name/sdk/tools'.
google query: somewhere executable script ubuntu adb
rm -r -f /
Hope this helps

Here's the links, the script isn't mine to give, and I think that would be against the rules. Go to the first link to get the installer, and the next one to get the fastboot exe. I would follow the instructions in the second link. Once you finish that, run the adb script, If nothing pops out of the script when it starts to run , run it again, or try running (in terminal) command. If you need detailed instructions PM me, it's a little process, you have to edit some files.

what happens when you execute adb?
if your getting something like "can't execute blah blah" make sure that adb has execute permissions.
#chmod +x adb
its been awhile since I been on ubuntu you may have to sudo to execute chmod on ubuntu.
Wen I plug in my phone it does not recongize it also wen I hit adb says no command adb found did you mean then gives me a list of commands for something I'm not familiar with lol

first are you executing adb from the folder its in. If so and it says that the command is not found then make sure that the abd executable has executable perms on it.
Sorry if if I'm not precise on the instruction as I'm trying to do it from memory, I haven used linux in about a year or so and most of my nix time is solaris lately.
But you should by able to #chmod +x adb so that its has execute perms.
if you gets errors trying to run chmod try typing sudo first so that you can switch into root.
I'm not sure on running it threw the window its in I opened up terminal its the only thing open besides a search window on how to install this and when I did type in a command I hit sudo didn't try the other commands u gave yet I'm mobile and to my dismay ill b for a few hours but as soon as I get to my laptop I will and post results anything else you can think of is more than welcome to I don't shun knowledge thanks in advanced
