Hey everyone,
I have been happily using android on nand for quite sometime, and everything has been going well. However, I must have the wrong adb driver installed on my windows 7 computer and can't seem to remove it fully or install the proper one ever. Every time I remove it from device manager, and plug it back in, windows finds it as an HTC composite device, and adb through command line can't find any devices, ever! I would really like to be able to use this feature for things like tethering and what not.
Also, if anyone has any information on how to tether using any OS, windows, mac or linux, I would greatly appreciate it, along with any applications that might be helpful! I have done proxoid in the past and it worked well, pdaNet looks like it might work, but again I don't have a connection to my windows computer!
Thanks in advance for all of the help!
I am using the android SDK usb driver for ADB, you just have to edit a file and add the vendor ID. I can do things like adb logcat, adb shell gives me odd characters in directory listings,I get a ? from adb devices, not sure what that is about.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android\adb_usb.ini
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x0e79
0x0bb4
The 0e79 is for my Archos tablet, works fine there. 0bb4 is what showed up in device manager when I plugged in the phone.
I tried to install that driver for my Polaris and it doesn't work.
It shows "Installing Android Phone" while I have my device plugged in. It takes forever and seems that the USB connection hangs the driver install process, but as soon as I disconnect my device, Windows shows me an error message.
Instructions for Vista\Windows 7
For WinVista/Win7
These OS will install Android as a mass storage device. You must uninstall the driver and update to the android driver model.
Instructions:
1) Unplug all removable devices(thumb drive, sdcards, etc) beside the Android phone.
2) Locate "Device Manager", usually under "control panel"
3) Select "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
4) Select USB Mass Storage Device.
Note: to check if you have the correct device, click on the details tab and select "compatible ids" under properties. There should be three items listed under value.
5) Select uninstall driver
6) Close the window. Now in device manager a new "Android Phone USB device" with a yellow! will appear... If not, Unplug your android device or select Action -> Scan.
Note: view optional steps below if you still have problem with the your windows automatically installing drivers.
7) Click on the "Android Phone USB device"
8) Select "browse my computer to driver software"
9) Under "search this location for driver", Browse for the location that you have unzip the android_usb_windows and select the corresponding folder for your system(AMD64 for 64bit systems or x86 for 32bit systems. Right click -> properties on "My Computer" to check which system you have)
The driver is now installed and is ready to use.r
***Optional.
1. Go to System under Control Pandel.
2. Click on Hardware Tab and Under "Device Installation" select “Never search windows update for drivers”, then OK.
3. Go to Enable debugging on your phone. (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging).
4. Run USBDeview and remove all instances of Android Phone
5. Unplug your phone, and plug it in again.
7. Continue on step 7) above.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Polaris. The whole driver installation process hangs while my device is connected. As soon as i disconnect it, it continues, but it then complaints about it being disconnected.

mine hung as well, what i ended up doing was turnng off the automatic installation. Then uninstalled the adb interface driver that was already installed. Then turning back on automatic installation. Then plugging phone back in and as it was installing automatically, manually installing the adb interface driver at the same time. Eventally the automatic install would error out and the manual install would work. It took like 15 or 20 minutes for it to finish.
when i uninstalled the adb interface, it turned into ''android phone'' in device manager. That was the driver i manually installed while the phone was automatically installing. I know it dont make much sense but it worked for me.
It looks like that will be my fate as well. It also says, that when I do the manual install of the ADB drivers that I already have the most current version installed!!! OH well, keep trying!
Same behavior on my pc with windows 7 32-bits.
When I have lucky the adb driver is connected (working correctly) for a few minutes and then it's disconnected.
i've tried various things to install adb driver, since last night but i've got nothing. i can't install adb driver for my xperia arc.
i installed sdk manager and usb driver. but when i try to install or update driver, i always see this message like "you're using the latest version". So i can't install it.
and also i've tried to uninstall driver and unplugged / plugged my device. then w7 automatically install driver. so i can't install adb driver again.
i want to root my phone, using this way at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560
so i must install adb driver, please help me.
thanks everybody
edit: i've windows 7 home premium, 64-bits
Hey all, I hope this is the right forum.
I installed the Samsung Drivers on Windows 7 x64 and attempted to install the google Android SDK drivers. I managed to get ADB working, my phone is in debug mode and I've managed to do a lot of cool things and run linux commands with BusyBox. Problem is though, windows keeps screwing it up, so currently "adb devices" will not always show my device, even if I have debug on and such. The phone says USB connected when I plug it in, but after a couple minutes, windows says something to the effect of "Could not install USB Device" or "One of these devices has malfunctions, windows does not recognize it". And in device manager, I cannot seem to get it installed under PCI devices like most guides say, it installs under USB. This sux
I apologize if this is the wrong place, if so, I would be happy if a moderator could move this.
Please note, I think adb was just disconnecting and the solution was simply to type in...
adb connect 127.0.0.1
Thanks
I have a German Galaxy Note (GT-N7000, Android 2.3.6 stock, Baseband N7000XXLB2, Kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 [email protected] #2 Build GINGERBREAD.XXLC1)
my PC is a macbook, running Snow leopard, VMware Fusion 3 and a Windows CP partition.
When i connect the phone to my macbooc, and start Kies, it takes a while to detect the connected phone, then offers me the new firmware upgrade to ICS (LBY I think). However, I want to make a backup first, but when I select the 'BACKUP/RESTORE' tab in Kies, I get a popup telling me that 'device type not recognized' and nothing is offered for backup.
So Itried installing the Windows version of Kies, but in Windows, I cannot even get the driver for the 'Samsung mobile MTP Device' installed. Windows pops up the 'new hardware found' notification, I hear the 'plop' that goes along with it, and that repeats over and over and over again, never sucessfully installing.
The WIndows event viewer logs:
Drivers were successfully installed for device USB\Vid_04e8&Pid_6860&Rev_0400&MS_COMP_MTP&SAMSUNG_Android.
followed by
It was not possible to access the device () after installing drivers. Error code 0x80070651.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the backup to work? I don't want to try the Kies firmware upgrade w/o a backup.
I also would like to avoid rooting this device..
Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and after trying to install google apps in the devices it doesnt work (maybe I tried with the wrong package, I'm not sure because the device was installed by another person).
The situation is: when I try to switch on the device with the power button, it doesn't work. The device only show something when I plug it via usb. A strange white screen appears and I am able to execute adb commands to the device, in fact, if I execute "adb shell" I am able to view the file system.
I tried with heimdall and odin but It doesn't work: heimdall doesn't recognise my device and Odin recognise my device but when I try to "do something" in the device the program tells me "setup connection" and nothing more happens.
The download mode neither works...please help me!
Hi everybody,
I've done all the steps from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891939. And it looks like no problems appeared during installation (ADB Interface appeared in Device Manager tree, Device can be found by adb in cmd, no any exepions or errors during cmd installation).
The only problem at the end - device is not rooted. In ES FileManager root access doesn't work. Superuser app doesn't appears in the list (but when I tried to install it for the secon time in cmd, it says that Superuser.apk is already installed).
So I've tried twice, but have't succeed. Could you please assist with the possible reason for the failture?
