ADB Drivers

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

[Q] How to setup ADB driver for Windows 8?

Has anyone been able to set up ADB drivers for Kindle Fire HD 7 for windows 8?
Kindle was rooted but when i switched to windows 8 i got some random 7.2.1 user update that i thought i had already gotten and now root is gone and i cant seem to get ADB driver to install, any ideas?

I installed the same way as I did on my Windows 7 box. Just follow the instructions posted here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

I am also trying to get the adb drivers installed, i used the guide you said to use and still it wont allow me to install the driver, just says the driver installation did not complete... =\ 64 bit windows 8 pro

Try this if you have not already.
1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer's USB port using the USB cable.
2. From the Start menu, right-click Computer and select Manage.
3. In the left pane, under Computer Management, expand System Tools, and click Device Manager.
4. In the right pane, locate and expand Other devices.
5. Right-click the device name Kindle and click Properties.
6. In the Kindle Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, then Confirm, and then unplug your device from your computer.
7. Then run the kindle fire adb drivers again.
8. Then plug in your kindle.
9. To confirm the device has been installed, from Start, click Control Panel, and then select Device Manager. In Device Manager, under Kindle Fire, the device will be included as Android Composite ADB Interface.

I did the above...it looks like its going to install but then i get the message 'install failed' during the setup....

I got Win 8 64bit. Delete the "signed_" part of "signed_kindlefirewinusba64/x86" files you'll be able to install it manually from the device manager.
However I still wasn't able to root my KF2 but that seems to be a different issue since the device is recognized as adb device in the device manager.

I've already got 2 versions of those files in the install directory 2 with the 'signed_' and 2 without?

Signed Drivers
Hey I installed the drivers through this:
1.Use the windowskey +I keyboard shortcut to bring the Chrams and click Change PC settings.
2.Navigate to General and under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
3.Now Windows 8 will restart in the advanced menu options, click on Troubleshoot.
4.Click on Advanced options.
5.Next, click the Startup Settings option from the menu.
6.The Startup Settings. From this page simply click Restart.
7.Now Windows 8 will reboot, but instead of going to the Desktop it will start in the Startup Settings page, from here hit F7 or the number 7. Then Windows will boot in a mode that will allow you to install unsigned device drivers in the operating system.
After this just install the drivers and your Kindle will connect with ADB
Hope that helps

Wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to figure this out. Giving up and trying on windows 7.

[Q] need help if someone can...

ok i tryied to use all in one tool and i want to flash to ics to my thrill but as far as i got is on the tool it goes to stage 2 but waiting for device stays there even after i do place to battery in it.. it acts all over again as if it cant find the driver for cosmo i think that is what it is called....but im running windows 7

When it says waiting on device try pulling out the usb and then plug it right back in. I use to have to do that, but if that doesn't work then it may be a driver issue.
Maybe start the tool and when it says waiting for omap4430 device, hold down vol+ and plug in your phone but don't let go of vol+. Pop in battery like normal and it should boot you into download mode. See if that helps get your LG Cosmo driver to install, though it should install as LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT. if that doesn't happen, as a last resort uninstall all LG mobile drivers, reboot cpu, download the files from step 1 and step 5 of this post---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819 (bag of goodies and wkparks 1.21) Turn off your anti virus and windows defender before doing anything. Once thats done unzip the two files mentioned above. Run the omap flash installer and re install both Sets of LG mobile drivers in the bag of goodies package (second set will pop up a warning for unsigned drivers a few times; hit YES do it anyways, and then re install omap by directing the driver update to the windows drivers folder in the wkparks bootloader1.21 tool. Hopefully this helps.
Here is a much better explaination from drastic00's tutorial. Follow these steps to the T and you should be flashing in no time
" A) Uninstall any LG Drivers:
a1) Open Programs and Features through Control Panel
a2)Find any drivers called "LG United Mobile Driver." Right click and select Uninstall, let it work.
a3)Reboot your pc!
B) Be sure you disabled antivirus/Windows Defender, etc. before unpacking these files.
C) Install OMAP4430 by running "OMAPFlashInstaller."
NOTE: if you have Fastboot installed SKIP this step (if you don't know, you don't have it...), but DO link the driver as in f4.
D) Install the two LG Drivers in the “LG United Mobile Drivers” folder: These are “LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0” and “LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0” The second one will warn it is unsigned, choose to install anyway (you will have to insist on this a few times here).
E)Reboot your pc!
F)Install PC/phone drivers:
f1)Shut down your phone. Remove external sd card, SIM card and battery.
f2) Open Device Manager from Control Panel
f3) Hold volume up on phone and connect to USB port. Keep holding volume up.
f4)Look for "OMAP4430" blinking on and off in Device Manager with a yellow question mark under "Other Devices." (You can let go of the phone). If you do not see it, look for "TI Boards" blinking in device manager and quickly open the arrow. Then uninstall that OMAP4430 (right click, check box to uninstall device and driver, confirm), disconnect phone and reconnect with volume up. Then...
f.4.1) You will need to 'catch' OMAP4430 (with yellow question mark) by right-clicking on it when it appears under "Other Devices." Choose "Update Driver Software."
f.4.2) Pick "Browse my computer for driver software." Then "Let me pick..."
f.4.3) Leave "All..." selected under Devices. Then "Have Disk."
f.4.4) Navigate to the omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 folder and choose "omap_winusb" in the usb_drv_windows folder.
f.4.5) Windows will warn the driver is unsigned. Install anyway. An OMAP4430 device should appear under the list of devices. Confirm the selection. Let the driver install.
f.4.6) Disconnect the phone and again reconnect with volume up held.
f5) You should see a popup at the bottom of your screen about drivers (the LG USB drivers) installing. (If you do not see it, disconnect phone, reboot your pc, and again connect it without battery while holding volume up). When you do see drivers installing, let go of the volume button. Click the popup to see the progress. Let it finish.
f6) Look for “LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT” in Device Manager. Right click on it and go to Properties
f7) Select the "Port Settings" tab and click 'Advanced'.
f8) Change 'COM Port Number:' to COM41. Click OK, then OK again.
f9) Disconnect your phone from the PC." (From drastic00's noob tutorial)

USB Tethering on the Windows Phone HTC One (M8) - Windows 7 64

Inspired by this post, i've set on a quest to get USB tethering working on my HTC one (M8) Windows Phone.
The steps are very simmilar, so I will modify the original post, with specifics to the HTC One Device:
1) First, you need the Diagnosis app for HTC phones. This is included, but hidden, on each phone. To access it, type ##634# (##MFG#) into the phone dialer.
There, in "EmbeddedTool" select Diag function, and enable "Diag mode"
Your phone will imidiatly reboot, that is normal
2) When the phone boots up again you should plug it into your PC, if you haven't done so already.
It will not appear in Windows Explorer or the Windows Phone app. You'll get a "Found new hardware" notification, but the odds are that the drivers will fail to install automatically. We'll need to install them manually.
3) To do that, first download the attached ZIP file included with this post. Extract its contents somewhere handy.
Next, open Device Manager. This can be done from the Start menu/screen, or by opening Computer Management. into It will require Administrator permissions.
4) You should see four new"USB device" entries that don't have drivers. We only need one of them (typically first one). with the hardware id "VID_0BB4&PID_0BFF&MI_00"
5) Double-click one of those entries, or right-click on it, and select Update Driver.
6) in the driver dialog select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then select the folder where you have extracted the attahced driver
7) Once driver is installed one of the devices will be identified as "HTC USB Modem"
8) Open it's properties and in the Advanced tab, set the "Extra initialization command:
+cgdcont=1,"ip","APN"
Where APN is the APN from your carrier.
For me it was "vzwinternet", so the command that I used was:
+cgdcont=1,"ip","vzwinternet"
9) after this is done you will able to create a Dial-up connection
via "Internet options-> Connections-> Add
in the next dialog: Select Dial-up
for the "Dial-up phone number" use *99# and leave the password and username blank.
10) once connection is setup, disable the IP-V6 from its properties. and you should be able to connect.
11) Don't forget to disable the "Data Connection" on your phone
Enjoy
PS
Although drivers did work on my machine, I suggest being extra cautious before using them, so create restore point, and run an anti-virus scan, as I found that driver by Googling the hardware ID of the 4 unrecognized devices.
