[BEGGING FOR HELP] ADB & Windows 7

USB/MicroSD mount is working, but I cannot get ADB to work. This is really pissing me off. I had it working fine on Vista but I'm a dumbass and decided to upgrade to Win7 Ultimate.
Device Manager does not show "Android Composite ADB Interface" or "Nexus One" or anything that looks remotely like that.
The instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613054 -- do not work for me, as you can see in the screenshot I've provided below, nothing shows up.
SCREENSHOT (same also attached in case something happens to the link): http://imgur.com/uoaWH.jpg
1. The Android SDK is installed.
2. Java JDK 64 & 32 bit versions are both installed.
3. Plugged in my phone, turned on USB Debugging, nothing happened. Device manager list didn't change at all. No alerts near the systray from Win7.
4. I used "USB Deview" and uninstalled everything that looked like "Google" or "HTC" (saw nothing that said HTC or Android, just Google).
5. After #4, gave this POS a reboot, no change when plugging the phone in.
I have the driver downloaded, separately, as well as the one that comes with the Android SDK.
I'm at a complete loss.
Help is deeply, truly, appreciated, and I'll be clicking on some "DONATE" links if you can help me fix this.
EDIT: RESOLVED
Windows7 didn't like this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702191
But it loves this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
Needless to say... I'm pretty happy!

usb driver installed?

Yes.
And USB debugging is enabled.
I can mount the SD, but it looks like Windows thinks my phone is nothing more than a storage device. The ADB crap is not showing up in the Device Manager like it did on Vista, nor is there *anything* that says "Nexus One" except in... see new screenshot.

Is your Nexus running 2.2?
I had this exact problem as soon as I updated to 2.2; Windows 7 simply refuses to accept the device.
Put your device in recovery mode and see if fastboot can detect it. For me it can, but ADB and DDMS both think nothing is connected when the phone is on and in debug mode.
I have a HTC Magic as well which works absolutely fine (even when running CM6, which is 2.2 based) but the Nexus on 2.2 is just a no go. If you've unlocked your bootloader you could downgrade to 2.1 again. I never had problems on Win7 with 2.1.
Your only other option is to add your comments to the bug, here: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 (sorry, I'm still not allowed to post proper links yet)
It seems very few people are experiencing this (or reporting it when they do) so my hopes for them fixing it are pretty low.

Are you on version R3 of the USB driver?
What happens when you plug in the phone with usb debugging turned on (on the status bar) ?
Does it ask for a driver? if so manually point it to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver (may differ)
below is a SS of the driver files being uses on my win-7 64 bit desktop.

Try something for me. I am having the same as you but try this. Boot your phone in recovery mode and see if adb works then. My pc sees the phone as adb in recovery but it doesn't see it as adb on the home screen. Not sure why this is but it worked at one time.

Holy ****.
I love you.
I've been pulling my hair out. Seriously.
I booted into recovery, plugged the phone in, Windows tried installing drivers, but failed, then I saw "Nexus One" listed in Device Manager, and after installing the drivers that came with the SDK, the "Android Phone" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" stuff shows up in the device manager, and adb commands work... when my phone is booted into Recovery.
Recovery was the key.
Thank you!!!!!!

Could the ROM I'm using have anything to do with this?

ADB recognizes the device when I'm recovery, and the "adb push" commands do their thing, but I don't see the files being pushed where I'm pushing them to.
Do I just have to enable the "USB toggle" thing?

I just installed Win 7 and used these directions from the android developers website and everything worked flawlessly from the getgo:
http:// developer.android.com/sdk/index.html/
Hmmm, correct url, not working, 404, maybe it'll work if you copy/paste and take the spaces out from between // and developer.

What recovery image are you using? I've had good luck with ClockworkMod and it's 'mount system' option as far as push/pull while in recovery.

IT WAS THE ROM.
I went back to the ROM I was using previously, and ADB WORKS FINE NOW IN WINDOWS 7.
I was using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702191
adb remount
adb devices
Nothing worked!
Completely wiped and, went back to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
It works now!!!

Something had to be wrong....that's stable rom. There's more than one custom rom that has it for a base.

I'm not knocking the ROM or the developer of the ROM, but I made a backup, wiped everything, flashed the MCR ROM again, went back to the same problem.
Putting the other ROM back... no more problem. ADB commands work fine, and Windows7 sees my phone.

Working rooted Kindle Fire HD - USB Device not recognized

Hey,
I keep on getting the "USB Device not recognized" message on my rooted Kindle Fire HD with stock ROM 7.2.3.
Tried on several Windows 7&8 machines to no avail. The USB ports are checked and working with an external harddrive, mouse etc.
Does anyone have a clue? It actually seems to be an issue on the Kindle device itself and isn't reporting itself as an existing device?
I tried several things, like:
- Holding power button 20+ sec while the USB is connected.
- Reboot PC etc.
- ADB, verifying the drivers the 0x1949 etc.
Nothing helps. Please let me know if you know the solution!
Thanks

Well, it seems like you forgot about one very important thing: the USB!
Use only the original cable that came with the Fire. Not anything else! There is a reason why the company gives a USB cable when you buy the device, you know.

Cable isn't the problem

Unfortunately I already tried with the official cable. Same problem. Would a reset to factory defaults resolve this? And do I then keep my root access?

any luck with this?...i just got a Kindle Fire HD and am having the same problem...ADB drivers seem to be working fine, and the Kindle is rooted, but it does not show up at all in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it
also, i've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the ADB drivers several times, but still nothing in Win Explorer...one thing i notice, even though i delete/uninstall all Kindle drivers i see in Device Manager, including "Hidden Devices", when i go to reinstall the drivers, i get a pop-up windows saying ADB drivers are already installed, and asking if i would still like to re-install the drives...how do i delete everything relating to the Kindle on my PC, so that i can do a completely fresh install of the drivers?

Nope still nothing.

didn't help...i even spent several hours doing a Win7 "Repair Install", thinking that would help...but disappointingly, after the repair, same issue....Win7 does not recognize it as a mass storage device, and doesn't show it in Win Explorer...i did install the ADB drivers, and do have ADB access, just nothing through Win Explorer :crying: .... on another computer also running Win7 x64, the Kindle shows up fine in WinExplorer

aaaaarggggghhhhh....:crying: i did a totally fresh install of Win7 x64 on a brand new hard drive...and this computer still won't recognize the Kindle as a mass storage device?!?!?....so i have to assume there is something wrong with the computer...but ADB works, and i was able to root the Kindle with this computer

Be sure ADB is enabled on the device itself if you have ever wiped the sdcard or have a custom ROM installed.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD using xda app-developers app

i got the same problem, in my thread i also posted many screenshots but nobody still has found a solution....

i was never able to get one of my PCs to recognize the KFHD as a USB storage device, but at least ADB works...so i've decided to just wirelessly connect (w/ AirDroid, WiFi File Transfer,etc.) to the Kindle for file/media transfers...an even better solution than using a USB cable :victory:

I don't see ADB stuff.... ADB doesn't work anymore either....

I've noticed with other devices that I've rooted that windows is VERY tempermental when it comes to adb and windows recognizing any android device. If you have everything installed correctly, I have actually found sometimes simply disconecting your kindle from your computer and rebooting both and then reconnecting helps sometimes. Like I said windows is VERY tempermental. Worked for me more than once with my phone and my kindle.

Funny thing is, I have two KFHD 7" both rooted. Windows sees one but not the other. Device manager shows Kindle Fire- Android ADB Interface on the one not showing up in Explorer and shows same plus Portable Device-Kindle Fire on working one.
Have been able to install 2nd boot loader on the working one and CM 10, but can't do anything else with the other. I have a fast boot cable and have restored it back and wiped several times to no avail.
One thing I noticed, The one that doesn't recognize in explorer only shows to have 12.9 GB space while other working one shows 27.9Gb space.
I have been successful with a KFHD 8.9, KF 7" 1st gen and KF2 and (1) KFHD 7" in rooting, 2nd boot loader and custom ROMs (along with many other Android devices), but not this one 7" HD.
This thing is driving me crazy.
Help Plz
EDIT: Okay going thru my notes I think that I have figured out what has caused this (still don't know how to fix). It seems that after the first root, wifi was on and it updated itself to 7.3.1. It is only after this, that I can't get ADB and flash boot loader or files to SD card. Using KFHD rescue tool and KFFirst aid I have flashed back to 7.2.3 with root (tried both) , but still can't get ADB. Fastboot with factory cable works fine though. With the kindle booted up on 7.2.3 rooted or 7.3.1 non root, Windows still doesn't see the device. Device manager shows ADB device but not the SD card part of the device. Is there any way to recover everything back to stock (non root) to start fresh?

Finally Fixed

Problem solved:
Here is what I did to fix the problem.
If you haven't preformed this fix for windows, do this first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36373627
First plug in device to computer and navigate to device manager. Then go to kindle fire and expand to show Android ADB Interface. Right click on it and select "Scan for Hardware changes". Let it run. If it finds nothing don't worry. Then right click again and select update driver. Navigate to locate drivers myself. If you have KFFirstAide or other utility locate to where the ADB drivers are in that file and select ok. It will go through the process and install the drivers. After doing this you should now be able to see the device through explorer and transfer files.
I now have 2nd bootloader and CM 10.1 (Hashcode) up and running great. Hope this helps.

[Q] ADB doesnt recognize HTC One in Recovery

I have a nandroid backup.
Its too big to keep on the phone at all times
Therefore its been placed on my computer
And in the case i need it (boot-loop), how can i transfer the backup while in CWM?
ADB seems to be the simplest way, but adb cannot find my device when it is in the bootloader or in custom recovery.
Am i missing something? Or is there another way to solve this issue.
If anyone could help, id be very grateful.

Hi
Greetings,
When you boot in fastboot and connect your phone to pc does it shows fastboot usb if yes then it is recognised if no then you will have to download the drivers if HTC and install them

yes fastboot usb is shown and all fastboot commands work, its just that adb doesnt work when its in bootloader or recovery.
I did some more digging around and found that when the phone is connected while in recovery, the computer recognizes it as a "HTC MTP device"..and thats it. I cant upgrade the drivers of the said device or essentially do anything with it.
What am i missing?

ADB should only work under Recovery. I found that with the last HTC driver it didn't install for when you are under Bootloader, Recovery, or Fastboot. I forgot what version actually worked the best but it might have been the 3 series drivers. Anyway while under Recovery you'll have to force the HTC drivers to install thru your Device Manager. It will not automagically detect them. I would start with these drivers and try them out.
HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe
Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

Thanks for the reply, ive tried the first two drivers, work fine when the phone is booted, but no avail in recovery. The laptop shows the device connected as "My HTC" while in recovery, but im unable to use adb commands as adb doesnt connect to it. Ill try the third 3 series driver and post an update in a few.
UPDATE: wont install, im running windows 8 and it says this driver is not compatible with this operating system.

Does it say its offline? What do you actually see when using adb. As for the driver in Windows 8, you have to disable driver signature checking to use them. There is a thread in the Nexus 4 forum on how to do this, which is here:

installed the 3 series driver, still the same problem. Heres some photos (which i should have attached originally) of whats happening.
The pictures are while the phone is normally booted, and then when the phone is in recovery.
Edit: Uninstalled all of the HTC drivers and devices inside the device manager, and only installed the Universal Naked Driver, the phone now shows up with a different name in device manager, but STILL does not work while in recovery.
Another pictures attached of how device manager looks with just the Universal Driver while in recovery.

anyone?

i have the same problem as u.. I tried both my missus Windowss PC now.. It used to detect it before. Now it suddenly doesn´t anymore. On my mac, same deal. Nothing detected.
Been googling around and i have found threads but they all end unsolved. ADB returns ADB devices blank. Kill-server or adb remount does nothing. in Fastboot USB its totally a ghost.
found any fixes?

I'm clueless too. I can only think to try other recoveries. Philz CWM comes to mind. I also uploaded the latest google usb drivers for you incase you want to try that out too. Google v7 USB drivers I think they are called. You'll probably have to force install them since they won't detect. Included the adb and fastboot from the SDK too. Last thing I can probably suggest is to try different USB port. Oh and TWRP too since it has the terminal built in it you could try starting up ADB from there.

Me too...
Did anyone ever resolve this? I'm facing it now, having tried multiple recoveries. Previously was able to use adb fine. (I'm on a mac.)

In case this helps someone else: The reason I lost adb was that I'd installed the drivers on my mac for EasyTether. There's a note about this on the EasyTether FAQ page. When I disabled the EasyTether driver, I was able to use adb again.

HTC One(M7) not recognized by adb
Condition:
HTC One(M7) - rooted; s-ON; GPE ROM 4.3.1
Recovery - CWM
I have a similar problem with my HTC One(M7). I'm working mainly on a mac (OSX Maverick), but I have also tried using a PC (Windows 8). I accidentally wiped the data on the phone while in recovery, and now I have a phone that only boots to the bootloader and recovery. Since backups usually take a lot of memory, I kept all of mine on my computer. The simple fix I've been trying to do is sideload the ROM to the phone through adb, however adb does not find the device. I repeatedly get the "device not found". However the device is recognized in fastboot, and i always get the "fastboot USB" when it is connected. So I am unable to flash the ROM I need to the phone because it is unable to communicate with either computer. On the PC I made sure to have had the proper drivers, I downloaded HTC SYNC, and have tried updating them manually. However I always get the "error Code 43". The PC also does not recognize the device, so again I am unable to communicate with the device. Can I plz get any help, I have tried reading multiple forums, but have had no luck trying any solution. I would really appreciate any advise; Im desperate to fix the phone.

Take a look at this FAQ post and see if this doesn't help solve your problems. I would also recommend updating your CWM recovery to the latest.

having a similar problem. My system and everything is wiped all I have is TWRP 2.6.0.1 and I'm trying to end with cyanogenmod. theres no sdcard slot so my only option is an adb push through recovery. Adb doesnt recognize it, it just doesn't return anything in the list of devices when i type adb devices. in devmgmt it lists my phone as a disk drive... I have tried to update the drivers to the universal naked ones, but then windows says that it already found and installed the best driver software I have the T-Mobile variant but I thought I'd post here since this problem is more than likely not carrier specific and I didn't wanna add another thread. I can do fastboot just fine when in fastboot usb mode, but in recovery no adb... I can't install the naked drivers it just says that the file is incompatible

[Q] Kindle Recovery Help

*My KFHD7 will not load passed the initial, "kindle fire" logo.
*While running KFFirstAide64 runme.bat, it reads, "The system cannot find the path specified" after I try the recovery.
*In Device Manager under other devices it states, "Soho-PVT-Prod-07"; My computer is communicating with the Kindle.
*I am using a factory (fastboot) cable and my tablet is in fastboot mode as of right now.
*Last updated version known: 11.2.3.2
Is there any other program or recovery option that I can use to restore my KFHD7 to it's factory conditions? How can I get the system to "find the path specified"?

Solution!
I don't know how I missed it but here it is.

Additional Problems...
When I run the program to recover, it reads, "<waiting for device>".
*I am using "KFHD_SRTv1.3.5" SR Tool which was recommended to me.
*I've tried using different USB ports.
*Waiting for the device proves to be pointless.
*I have downloaded the ADB driver but installing it shows no improvements.
What can I do?

That is for the Kindle fire HD 2012 edition. If you flash it to your Kindle you will Brick it.
You need this program.

I have downloaded the program and tried to restore my device but I ran into the same problem, "waiting for device". I've installed the device drivers as well. I checked on one of the other programs my ADB status and it is not on. I don't believe I can turn it on without getting passed the initial bootlogo.
Do I need the ADB enabled in order for a full recovery? How can I get my device to be acknowledged by this program when my computer is reading that it's there?
EDIT:
I need to restore my kindle.
While in fastboot mode, the logo has 3D orange font that says "fastboot" with a black background. There is nothing else that shows up. Before I tried to root there was green font in I think the top left corner; looked like a cmd prompt was running something (if I recall correctly)..

if you are in fast boot and stuck waiting for device you are probably having a driver problem like I had. I used fastboot on Linux instead of Windows and solved my driver issue that way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try out Linux OS and see what happens. I'll let ya'll know the news :fingers-crossed:
EDIT::
So my computer crashed trying to fix my kindle; hard drive malfunction of some sort. My friend put the hard drive into his computer and it erased his BIOS. We then put in an 80GB hard drive that we got for $10, re-installed windows and tried again. Hard drive crashed crashed again. Maybe when I tried to install the drivers they were installed onto my computer instead of the Kindle?
This is an on going process but I probably won't be posting again any time soon. Maybe when I actually start programming things will be a little more self explanatory.
Thanks for all your help. This is all for this thread.

[Q] File Recovery of Bricked Kindle Fire 7"

I bricked my rooted Kindle into a bootloop, and would like to get to transfer files to my computer before unbricking it. I don't think I have any specific backup software installed (though have heard of firefirefire and twrp). My main concern is about file recovery, as I have found some guides for unbricking my Kindle, but any advice for that is still appreciated. I don't know a whole lot about this kind of stuff, so I really want to make sure I get things off safely. Thanks!

Hey keychain, I'm galaxy, there are a multitude of guides out there but before I can help, before you bricked it, did you have adb checked? Also what windows version is your PC (OR WHAT OS). I askt the OS question, because I was in this situation, and its near IMPOSSIBLE to install adb and fastboot on windows 8/8.1 even after disableing signature validation. (Atleast for me)

My adb works but it doesn't show up the device. I have Windows 7, and I've already tried KFFFirstAide. Currently downloading KFHD_SRT. I have the fastboot cable but I can't pass the fastboot logo. What can I do? KFFirst Aide doesn't work when I gve administrative privileges but I kind of works without it. Really weird. It appears in Device Manager without any triangles. Shows up as "Android ADB Interface"
