First off you need to have Android-SDK installed on your computer. I will not go into details about that process but here is the link to Google's official install page. Navigate to the folder you placed Android-SDK and run the SDK Setup.exe and make sure that you download the usb 3.0 driver software from the sdk updater window. I recommend erasing any HTC Sync software or drivers so that you can start from a clean point then reinstalling them.
Once you get the SDK installed from Google you need to go in a modify the USB 3.0 .inf file. Navigate to the folder you placed the Android-SDK and one step down you will see a folder that is named usb driver. Open the usb driver folder and then open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad. It should default into notepad when you click it. Next you need to copy and paste this text into notepad.
Find the section labeled [Google.NTx86]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.
;
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
Then find the section [Google.NTamd64]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.
;
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
Again just copy and paste. I have attached pictures to show where these need to go.
So now we have the USB driver on the computer and ready to be installed once you plug-in your Incredible.
On your Incredible press->Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->(check)USB debugging. Plug in your Incredible and you should get the found new hardware notification, select the No, not this time radio button, Install from a specific location(Advanced), Don't search, I will chose the driver to install. You should now have "Android Composite USB Device" in the white field selection box, click have disk and browse to the location of the android_winusb.inf file and click ok. Click next and it should install the USB driver you need for ADB to work properly.
Now if you click Start->(right click)My Computer->Properties->Hardware(tab)->Device Manager, you should see Android Phone at the top then when you open the tree you should see Android Composite USB Interface.
This will enable you to use the Android SDK from a command prompt to access your Incredible.
Once that is done open a command prompt by clicking Start->Run(XP) or the search box in W7 and type CMD(in W7 you need to right click command prompt and run as admin.). Then in the command prompt window type; cd (your file path to Android-sdk). now to test it type adb shell and press enter then reboot recovery and press enter. This should reboot your Incredible into recovery. (You can also type reboot bootloader to get to that screen.)
Once you make sure that is working press vol. up and power, then select reboot with the power button. GO back into Settings and deslect the USB debugging check box. Now we need to get adb shell to loop so that it can catch the Incredible in its flawed sequence that allows us to access the phone in recovery. Navigate your command prompt box to your tools folder and then follow these directions courtesy of prerunnerseth over at AndroidForums.com
type edit loop.bat
in edit enter the following
Code:
@echo off
:TOP
adb shell
GOTO TOP
press alt-f then x
hit enter for yes
Here is a link to Androidforums.com with two different methods for gaining root access on your phone.
This is a great 10 min. video on how to root as well.
I hope this helps clear some confusion up for those that can't quite get the Android Composite USB interface going. This credited to all parties involved and is just a collection of info.
So what you are saying is we need to take it off of debug mode before looping the shell command?
Hmmm...I had mine in Debug mode every time (failed every time, too). Ok...headed to BB to get the PNY card and try again w/o debug mode on.
Here's the android_winusb.inf file for the Incredible.
Switch this file out with the one that's inside your AndroidSDK/usb_driver folder.

Here's the adb shell loop for Windows.
I placed it inside my AndroidSDK/tools folder.

I hope this helps!

Report back. Rooting the DI will only get simpler and more reliable the old fashioned way: a LEAK from HTC!! If we had something to flash from fastboot or recovery without first obtaining root, we would all have root except for those who didn't check their MD5's, in which case they'd brick. So this new (not you, OP, or you Unrevoked team, but this exploit in general), ****ty, hard way = relatively safe, totally unreliable. Old way = almost 100% reliable but little room for error.
jesus this is frustrating

It is supposed to say that... and you can't install the android sdk you can only open it... its is just a basic dos applicarion with a GUI front of it if I'm not mistaken so just try redownloading it
Try following the 10 minute video exactly on a cpu that does not have the sdk already on it. I used the same exact sd card and could not get it on my pc that already had the sdk , sync , drivers on it. I followed the instructions on the 10 minute video using the sdk and htc sync from the video link on a machine that did not have them prior and it worked first try using the first (adb shell) method. I think it had something to do with the prior sdk install I had.
another let down, tried with the 10 mins video also, oh well

Right click on Android adb interface and then select update drivers, then follow the instructions above for installing the android_winusb.inf file. As stated before SDK doesn't actually "install' it is more on an interface that you can open to download the new sdk's for app development and debugging. you should get the black box and another box that is called Android SDK and AVD manager. Within that window you should have these options on the left; Virtual devices, installed packages, available packages, Settings, and About.
Edit; Did you follow the instructions about editing PATH with the C:\Android-SDK-Windows\tools directory path?

Hello all,
I have been following the guide posted by Nephron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 but am having a few problems with my computer recognising my G1 as an ADB device...
My computer's OS is Vista. I have followed the guide to the letter, have downloaded the SDK and unzipped it to C:\ root. I have checked my phone and ensured that 'USB Debugging' is checked. My computer doesn't try to install the Android 1.0 driver (as the original drivers are already installed) and my device is ready to use as a storage device - HOWEVER it is not acknowledging it is an ADB device.
I have tried using USBDeview but it won't let me uninstall the 3 already installed Android drivers. I have even tried manually uninstalling them through the taskbar USB device manager. Even when I uninstall them and re-connect my phone, it automatically installs the standard drivers and doesn't give me an option to select the SDK drivers.
Hope that makes sense to someone. How can I install these damn SDK/ADB drivers on my G1?! Thanks.
Try this...
Remove every mass storage device except your phone (Any usb memory sticks, external HDD's, other phones, etc)
Open the start menu, right click on 'Computer', click 'Manage', and you may need to click continue here.
On the next page, click on 'Device Manager' on the left hand side. In the list on the right, open up the tree for 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'
Find 'USB Mass Storage device' in the list. Right click it, click 'Uninstall'
Click 'Action' at the top, then 'Scan for hardware changes'.
If it all goes well, you should now be asked to locate a driver, point the the Android USB driver. Good luck.
PS, this is all from memory of the issues I had, so if you get stuck, post back .
Worked a charm, thanks!
(Mods...can this be merged to the NEWBIE Q&A thread for ADB/Fastboot etc...more useful place for it than here!)
Glad I could help .
OK...
New problem...
I am using command prompt on vista, entered the following:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools
adb devices (shows my device listed as HT845KV02724)
adb shell (shows a # on the following line)
However....when I enter adb it returns with /sbin/sh: adb: not found .....what have I done wrong? I have checked that the SDK is in C:\ and have downloaded the SDK again just to be sure. What do I need to change???
Once you type adb shell, you're in a terminal on your phone, you can type shell commands there, you need to type exit before typing adb again.
Basically, it's working as intended .
Can anybody help me set up ADB, SDK, and Emulator. I've tried all of the guides but I just don;t understand any of it. I really want Emulator too so f anyone can help, that'd be greatly appriciated. Thanks =D
I have a black G1 with Danger SPL and the latest Radio. I use a Windows Vista laptop and have the SDK downloaded in the C:/ folder but it's the zipped file. Should it be extracted in there? I've tried to do the whole SDK Setup process but for some odd reason it always downloads everything except for like, the firmwares like 1.0,1.1,1.5,1.6,2.0,2.0.1,2.1 or anything.

Make sure that you have the usb drivers installed as well.
What i've done is exacted it to C:\sdk\ It makes navigating to it in CMD a lot easier. Once you have that done open CMD and type the following
Code:
cd C:\sdk\tools
adb shell
This will find your device (make sure it's not mounted and USB Debugging is enabled (default in most roms) and put you into an ADB environment.
this is a really good tool too:

And I have the Droid Explorer Installed and everything but it doesn't have the Emulator and that's all I really want. That and FastBoot.

If you noticed it extracted it to C:\sdk\tools, you did yours to C:\android-sdk-windows. So you'll need to adapt to the changes..
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Now it says,

A friend of mine had the same problem. Make sure the device is plugged into the back of your computer, reboot the PC and the Phone. See if that helps. And which ROM are you running?
Well see I'm on VegaMans Beta Legend Port, and my phone won't show up on my laptop at all not to mount or anything all that appears is the notification in my bar saying;
Code:

I saw that, It could be that USB Debug is broken on the ROM (it is in early beta) Try using a different rom.

Well man, I tried it on FastTest and now I have a Custom Splash1 Image and now I'm not afraid of holding the Back button with the Red one. I think I'm going to throw Sense UI off to the side for now until it supports ADB and all. So thanks man, after all these monthes I finally have ADB Access. One more thing though, how can I get Emulator to work?
Now, when I try to go into Emulator through CMD, I se this;
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>emulator
emulator: ERROR: You did not specify a virtual device name, and the system
directory could not be found.
If you are an Android SDK user, please use '@<name>' or '-avd <name>'
to start a given virtual device (see -help-avd for details).
Otherwise, follow the instructions in -help-disk-images to start the emulator
Then, I navigate to C:/Windows-SDK-Windows/SDK Setup and I allow it to run. I get two windows, one that says
Code:
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.
I close that window and go to the one that says Choose Package To Install, but the white box on the side is blank. I close that and go to Android SDK And AVD Manager. From there I go to Virtual Devices and it's blank and grey-ed out. I click new and see
Code:

Target - [I]Here I can't write[/I]
SD Card: Size [I]Here I can write[/I] MiB or KiB
File: [I]Here I can't write[/I] Browse [COLOR="DarkRed"]Dulled out[/COLOR]
Screw skins and Hardware I can do that on my own, but how can I set a Target if it is grey-ed out?

Hello XDA Community.
I'm attempting to install the new RC of CyanogenMod-6 for the Hero CDMA. I'm currently running the stock 2.1 version of Android. I've been following the guides that were referred to in the thread (I tried posting the urls but new users can't do so to prevent spam).
I've successfully rooted my phone and now I'm trying to do a Nandroid backup. I'm running Windows 7 32-bit and have hit a road block with ADB not recognizing my device. I followed the guide put together by Nephron to install the Android SDK. I've spent several hours going through threads and doing google searches looking for the solution. I have debugging turned on and I don't mount my SD drive when I plug the USB cord in. I've used USBDeview as some have suggested to delete current HTC drivers and then reinstall - no luck.
Here is a screen shot of what happens when I plug in my Hero:
See attached - "failedinstall.jpg"
Then I'll go to device manager to manually install the driver (it never allows me to manually select upon connection for some reason):
See attached "devicemgr.png"
And then this is the message I get when I point it to the "right" folder with the drivers:
See attached - "unabletoinstall.png"
So, on the Android SDK site I noticed this message:
"The USB driver for Windows provides support for the following Android-powered devices:
T-Mobile G1* / ADP1
T-Mobile myTouch 3G* / Google Ion
Verizon Droid*
Nexus One
* Or similar hardware on other carriers
Any additional devices will require Windows drivers provided by the hardware manufacturer.
^So is all of this HTC's fault? I've downloaded a couple of different .zip folders from different threads claiming that these drivers would work. But none of them have yet to do the trick for me.
I'm new at this so I have a few other questions as well:
Most guides I've read about how to do a Nandroid backup always recommend flashing a ROM b/f doing a backup. But I want to backup my current stock rom and settings before I flash. Wouldn't I want to create a recovery image before installing any other ROMs? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding some requirements?
Referring again to the thread on the CyanogenMod RC, can someone help me understand step #3? How do I know if it is necessary to update my radio? What implications does this have? I tried looking for info about this on the wiki and I couldn't find anything comprehensive enough to answer my question.
I'd appreciate any guidance!
Before you modify anything you will want to boot into recovery, assuming you flashed one, by holding down Home and turning the phone phone back on(power button). But since you don't have adb working then you probably haven't. You can still do this using terminal on your phone.
Download terminal emulator from market and then download a revoery image (AmonRa 1.6.2 or Darch's 1.7xx) and then mount your sdcard to the computer and transfer the recovery to the root of the sdcard. Open up terminal emulator and type in
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img(type the exact file name of the recovery you are using)
reboot recovery
If you had factory 2.1 on your phone then you have the latest radio. The radio can be flashed just like any ROM, but make sure that the radio is not for GSM phones as this will destroy your phone.
Instructions from Android Developers and ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noob
Download the latest Android SDK.
Unzip to C:\AndroidSDK
Right-click on (My) Computer, and select Properties
Go to Advanced settings
XP: Click the Advanced tab
Vista/7: Click Advanced system settings on the left
Click the Environment Variables button
double-click on Path (under System Variables)
Add the full path to the tools/ directory:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools\
(make sure a semicolon ( separates this new path from all the others)
Latest windows sdk version appears to need: "C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools", install location may change with further updates..
Run C:\AndroidSDK\SDK Setup.exe
If you get an error about not having Java SDK installed but you do, add the path to 'bin' within your Java installation location to the Path environmental variable as described above before the sdk entry you just made. (eg add "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin;") This is likely to only be necessary where the 64 bit Java SDK is installed (obviously) on a 64 bit machine.
If it gives you an error about http go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
Unselect all options except for the USB driver
If you can't get the setup to work, download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
Type the following into the command prompt window:
adb devices
You should see a serial number pop up, it’s the serial number of your phone. This means you are all set. If you do NOT see a serial number, then we need to reinstall the drivers.
Download USBDeview
While the phone is still plugged in, open USBDeview and sort by manufacturer. Find all the HTC/Android drivers and uninstall them all. (Windows Vista requires program to be run as an administrator, otherwise files won't uninstall.)
Once all have been uninstalled, unplug the phone from the USB cable and plug it back in.
The correct drivers should reinstall automatically (check the drivers as they are installing, one should say ADB Device driver).
To check, go to Devices in your Start menu then click on the “Android Phone”. Click on the Hardware tab, and check the list of drivers for ADB Interface under Type.
Done! Now you can use ADB to alter your phone from your computer.
If all else fails try installing HTC Sync software-- http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC Hero (Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe and then removing the drivers for it and then trying to install the android sdk drivers
Or you can dual boot with Linux and all you will need to do is download and unzip android sdk and edit 2 files and everything will work.
WOW>>>>>no that is way to confusing. the best thing to do is install vmware workstation. Then do a virtual WINDOWS XP MODE. from there you will be able to install the drivers and such in order to get the phone to be seen.
the version of htc sync i used for all my computers including win 7 was 2.0.33
if you want it then just pm me and I will get it to you
they don't offer it for a download anymore
this version corrected all my driver issues
How to get ADB to work with Adam by detecting in Windows properly.
Hello I wanted to document a way to get this going so hopefully this helps anyone interested in using ADB with their Adams since the original tutorial seems to lack some important "how-to" parts.
Another thing.. I am only trying to help and add to the adam experience.. I am not a teacher or anything so if you are unsure about a step STOP and go do some research.. this is for someone who already has a general knowledge and to assist those to are trying to learn this.. its not a substitute for learning it yourself.
----------
Here are the steps that you need to follow in order to enable these drivers:
You must have Android SDK installed before you can proceed!!
If you don’t have it already, proceed to download here and you can see a ADB guide found here.
Make sure you download the Google USB Driver Package as well.
Open the google-usb_driver folder that you will find inside your Android SDK folder.
Open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad or any text editor to edit it.
Add these lines under [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64] depending on whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows. If unsure, it is safe to add these under both these sections.
Code:
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
Don’t edit or replace any other text that is already there; just add these new lines and save the file. You can add them right before the
Code:
; HTC Dream
To be able to use ADB and other SDK tools with your device, you can proceed as follows:
On your tablet, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and enable ‘USB Debugging’.
Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. You will get a notification that some drivers were not installed, which is OK for now.
Go to device manager and Identify your device from the list, right-click it and click ‘Update Driver Software..’.
Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer.
Choose to view all devices and click ‘Have Disk…’.
Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder and select the android_winusb.inf file.
If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, just choose to continue installing.
Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device.
You will want to connect your device via usb and make sure usb debugging is on. (Settings, applications, development, usb debugging CHECKED!!)
To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
If you see your device name or a few numbers as the output under the list of devices, your device is now recognized by ADB.
Happy Developing!

Well I took a look at your "easier way" and its exactly what I explain to do in my tutorial but maybe others will enjoy your wording better, thank you for your input and for sharing.
So I've been figthing this battle for the last couple of days... and no matter what drivers I installed (and trust me I've installed everything from the latest google drivers to Khoush's Universal drivers) I could never for the life of me get the Nexus 6 to show up during recovery - and hence couldn't sideload the 5.1 OTA. Mind you I'm completely stock - boatloader, recovery, kernel and all....
I Knew it was a driver issue - so I went back to the drawing board. Here's what I did and you should try.
Step 1 : Assuming you have SDK installed/Minimal ADB fastboot installed , download the latest usb drivers.
Code:
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
Unzip and remember location.
Step 2 : Unplug your phone and Use usbdeview (google USBdeview) to uninstall all existing devices that say something like
Code:
nexus 6
android
google
Step 3 : With USB debugging enabled and MTP on , plug your phone in... If it installs drivers - dont worry. Go to device manager - look for anything that says Andoid/ADB composite device or MPT/Nexus. Right click and select Uninstall. Check Delete driver software for this device and press OK. You may need a restart, if windows tells you to. Either way unplug your phone.
Step 4: Plug your phone in. Let it try to figure out devices/drivers. Then go to Device manager. The Nexus should have an exclamation on it. Right click and go to properties-->Details. Select Hardware Id's from the dropdown. There should be one or two. Either one is valid. Now open the USB drivers folder you unzipped earlier and open the android_winusb.inf file with notepad (usually double click should open it).
If you're on a 32 bit operating system - scroll the [Google.NTx86] section.
If you're on a 64bit OS (like most on Windows 7/8/8.1) scroll to the [Google.NTamd64] section.
If you don't know which OS you are on - please wait for the OTA to arrive on your phone because this guide( and other guides) maybe beyond you .
Scroll down to the Google Nexus (Generic) section for your OS type. It should say something like
Code:
;Google Nexus (generic)
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE0
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
....
Now from device manager copy the hardware id for your device. Say its
Code:
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE7&MI_01
If your Hardware Id (atleast one) isnt listed in the CompositeAdbInterface list on the driver file then insert a new line. Like below.
Code:
;Google Nexus (generic)
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE0
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
....
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE7&MI_01 <----New line
Save the driver file. Now open device manager again and Right Click the nexus device... Update Device Driver --> Browse my computer.. --> Specify the newly modifed USB file.--> press Next to completion. If you are prompted saying device is unsigned... ignore it.
Step 5 : Open command prompt /cmd (Start-->search for cmd). Browse to the ADB location. Then type
Code:
adb devices
It should show you the a device. (You may have to allow adb usage on your phone from that specific computer - should popup on your phone when connected). Next type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will automatically reboot into the bootloader.If you see a device listed under Android Bootloader Interface of If you see a new nexus device in your device manager then Uninstall the device while deleting driver. If you dont see a device - use USBdebiew to uninstall devices. Right Click on the computer name in device manager and click scan for hardware changes. You now have a device showing up with Exclamation. Now add the hardware ID for this device to the usb file. Make sure you add it under CompositeAdbInterface and not SingleBootLoaderInterface. If your device is listed under SingleBootLoaderInterface - Then use a semi-colon ( ; ) at the beggining of the line to comment it out... and then add the Hardware Id to the CompositeAdbInterface. Save and update driver.
Now choose recovery from the options. At this point unplug your phone. Now hold the Power button on your phone for about 5 seconds and then press Volume UP. It should take you to the recovery options screen. Use your volume button to move to "apply update from ADB" and press Power Button to select. It will take you to another screen saying its ready for adb sideloading.
Now Plug your phone in. If you see a new nexus device in your device manager then Uninstall the device while deleting driver. If you dont see a device - use USBdebiew to uninstall devices. You now have a device showing up with Exclamation. Now add the hardware ID for this device to the usb file. Make sure you add it under CompositeAdbInterface and not SingleBootLoaderInterface. If your device is listed under SingleBootLoaderInterface - Then use a semi-colon ( ; ) at the beginning of the line to comment it out... and then add the Hardware Id to the CompositeAdbInterface. Save and update driver.
Go to the command shell and look for adb devices again. It should now list your Device.
Sorry about providing links as code : Dont have enough post apparently to directly link stuff.
Happy sideloading!!!
i DID WHAT YOU SAID NOW DRIVER INSTALL SAYS THE HASH FOR THE FILE IS NOT PRESENT IN THE SPECIFIED CATALOG FILE
This should be stickied, I just searched google for this and found this exact post on Reddit and was just about to make a new thread on here referencing it.
