[Q] USB Driver w/ adb support for XE16.11 on Windows 7 - Glass Q&A

I'm unable to see my Glass device with the Android adb utility on Windows 7 since updating to XE16.11.
When I connect Glass to my laptop I'm able to see the Glass file system as one would expect but running "adb devices" shows no connected devices. I am able to connect Glass to my Mac successfully and have it be visible to adb.
When Glass was running under XE12, I was able to see it on Windows through adb using the modified USB driver at this URL ([www_androidfilehost_com/?fid=22979706399752791).
With Glass running XE16.11, adb is not working whether I use the standard Google USB driver or the modified driver that worked with XE12. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Glass version: XE16.11
Laptop: Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks,
Jim

You have do download the latest SDK There is a new driver in there for Glass. It's adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321

Thanks Celblazer...
It turned out that I was ultimately able to get things working by resetting Glass, deleting the USB driver associated with it and then just reconnecting Glass to laptop. The automatically installed driver ended working just fine then.
Thanks again,

USB Tethering: How ?

The cyanogen rom 4.2.3 has USB tethering support, but I can not get it to work, mainly because of missing information/documentation.
In 'settings' 'wireless controls' there is a nice 'Internet tethering' option to switch it on. When I switch that on then my Windows XP PC shows an unknown device 'Andriod Phone' and would like to install drivers for it. Where can I get these drivers from ?
Markus
I would also like to know how the usb tethering works for a mac as well. Didnt find any information on that. Thanks in advance.
You may need to get the drivers from the Android SDK, but with regards to USB tethering, your phone should be recognised as an NDIS based network device and installed automatically by Windows. Not sure about XP, but it installs automatically on Vista and 7
Under Ubuntu Linux (from an end-user perspective), when a G1 is connected with USB tethering enabled, network manager connects as if the phone were a standard, ethernet connection.

I have the Android SDK (1.6r1) and I point the driver install wizard at the usb_driver directory when he wants to install the device. Despite this the 'Found new Hardware' Wizard come up with 'Cannot install this Hardware'.

For xp you have to install drivers from htc sync software. Just google 'htc sync'. Should have been asked in q&a.
Nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.5.8 neither on 10.6.1

Guys, don't forget to use search! I've seen these issues brought up in at least 3 or 4 threads, and tons of posts.

If you're running windows XP the driver isn't included on your computer. Some people have installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, personally I got them from this post:

The search doesnt always give you what your lookin for if you dont word it a certain way man................
I think im gonna need a step by step.... I got the file... the computer recognizes the device.... But it doesn't register as a connection....
To everyone that is having problems tethering:
I was having the same issues. At first I wasn't able to get it to install, and then it would just keep saying the device couldn't start.
i found a very simple solution. I went into device manager, uninstalled all of my usb ports, and restarted my computer.
When it restarted, it automatically installed the usb drivers, and the tethering has worked ever since.
I could not get this to work either, finally after 3 days of messing with this on my work pc, I got it to work. First download htc sync from here http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=631&news_id=270 then unzip and install to your pc. Next tick on the option to usb tether while the phone is plugged in. It will say found Android phone Sdk or something like that. I did this on my xp pc at work that had no htc drivers previously installed. Next I went to my device manager and under network adapters you will see the yellow exclamation point, right click on that and update driver, 1st install from a specific location, 2nd Don't search I will choose driver to install. 3rd Have disk, 4th browse to C/program files/htc/htc driver/driver files/xp_86x then hit open and click ok. It might give a "stop warning" ignore it and continue. When its done installing you should be ready to go.....

That's your problem then. Yeah update to sp3 and you will be good. I promise.
I'm running into the same tethering trouble, but appear to meet all the criteria mentioned in this thread and other threads i've come across. the bottom line is i can connect with ADB access and mount my phone's SD card via the usb connection, but tethering doesn't work under several versions of Cyanogen on my laptop. currently I have CM 4.2.12.2 on my rooted Dream. I have windows SP3 installed (installed it twice because problem persisted). I've uninstalled all the USB ports per an above post, rebooted and plugged my phone in. The laptop reinstalls the USB ports, and finds the phone as an "ADB Interface" named "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface". I can update the drivers with the google SDK USB drivers which makes the device an "Android Phone" named "Android Composite ADB Interface" instead. With either set of drivers installed, once I go to Settings on my phone and enable tethering, the device under windows goes away and instead i get yellow question mark "Other Devices" named Android Phone. I can try to force it to use the same USB drivers but it won't install them.
With tethering turned off, i can successfully type "adp devices" on my laptop console and see that my phone is there. once i turn tethering on, the same command shows no devices.
The Dream works with tethering just fine on my windows pc and shows up as a "Network adapter" named "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device".
My laptop is a compac presario in case that matters. what do i need to do on it to make tethering work?
just found the solution. a lot of posts were talking about installing microsoft active sync. sounded pointless considering it's an android phone, but it ends up being that the drivers for "windows mobile-based internet sharing device" are part of the active sync installation. i installed active sync, plugged in my phone, enabled tethering and then the laptop installed the correct drivers and it all worked without a hitch. hope this helps others!

[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S

Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:

32bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.
thank you
I added a link to this thread in the sticky
EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go.

have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit
did you enable USB debugging?
Gunnman from Galaxy S
yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted
I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.
if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night
Gunnman from Galaxy S
since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.
Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck
Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.
Where can I get the mac driver..i looked everywhere please help
this thread is legit!
thanks for all of your help so far guys.. BUT i still cannot get my laptop to sync up with the phone properly (win xp pro, sp3)...

Problems with MTP drivers to get kindle connected to PC

I have a problem I have a kindle fire and getting the drivers installed is the problem
I have install the ADB driver but am having extreme difficulties getting the MTP drivers to work
I have tried everything (every solution on Google)
and nothing works
I've tried the "Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit"
I tried to get Microsoft help they gave me the run around and confused me even more.
I tried to Go to Device Manager, under Portable Devices, right-click on MTP USB Device, and then click on Update Driver Software to update the MTP USB device driver. I then Selected “Browse my computer for driver software” to locate and install MTP USB device driver software manually.I then Selected “Let me pick from a List of device drivers on your computer”. A list will show installed driver software compatible with the device but I dont know what to pick
can someone help me please

I tried to install alternative driver for the MTP drivers the triangle went away or MTP error disappeared but I don't know if I choose the right one
I choose from a list
when I plug in the kindle a different message comes up
"some computers require a free file transfer utility to copy files between the computer and you kindle."
I have WMP the latest version
what do I need to get this working is there something I can download and install to override this issue.
Is your version of windows 7 a non us versions, because that's what I believe his issue is. Also your PC should have a windows 7 key on it so u can always reformat it, but you need a disk, and if you don't have one I can't really help you obtain one because I am not aware of if its illegal to DL stuff u already own off then internet and i would rather not get banned from this forum if it is. However if MTP is very important and u absolutely need it, go to ubuntu's website and download a desktop live CD, if you don't know your processor type juse 32 bit, but most modern PC's are 64 bit. Anyways if all goes well after burning it to a cd or making a bootable flash drive, u can boot into a live os and it should have mtp and u can transfer stuff. I on the other hand cannot do this because I use an older version of Ubuntu on a small partition and it is a pain to upgrade distros and I hate the new interface, but from what I have read the new versions of Ubuntu will work with your kindle. You can always install Linux along side windows but if you don't know a thing about resizing partitions, then i wouldn't suggest it because u might wipe your windows os and that would suck. BTW ubuntu is completely legal compared to what I was questioning above about windows. Yay Linux!!!

how do I check the status of my windows OS and I am running UBUNTU 12.04 alongside my windows OS
Im not that familar with Ubuntu as I would like to. I tried to sync my kindle to ubuntu, try to root my kindle and it was very complex
more than on windows
Funny, I find it easier to root on Ubuntu than on windows, no driver problems and then binary bash script works the same way. I am unfamiliar with "syncing" a kindle, especially on Ubuntu, I never sync mine I just use it like I would a flash drive, drag and drop files to it. Should work the name way on Ubuntu I think, I use an older version of Ubuntu that can't open it as an MTP device, so i just push and pull with adb. My only problem with helping you doing this on Ubuntu is your using 12.04, and I don't use the new ones because I don't like the new interface, i use gnome based desktop environment. So I can't exactly say where to click to open the kindle, but if I had to guess you can simply open a nautilus window from that bar on the left of the screen, any thing on it that's a folder will do, from there there should be a pane on the left if the window where the kindle would show up as a device u can click and view the contents of. I'm kinda basing this off what happens when I use a camera or iPod on mine, I assume kindle would show up the same way. If this is not the case you may have to install a package for an MTP browser, again not familiar with the interface and from what I remember trying it last time they took out the synaptic package manager by default, so I would have to tell u a command to run in a terminal to install it instead if need be. Tell me how it goes I will try to help as much as I can.
I kinda feel like I put too much information in this post...
Oh and as for telling your windows os, it may tell if you right click my computer( on start menu) and hit properties. Another way to throw a guess at it is ask yourself "Do you live in the USA?". Windows I think will say something about it in the properties of my computer though, if not you can try running winver from the run box it may display something useful. I don't have my PC booted up into windows right now so i can't verify this, and I kinda host a minecraft server on it in Linux most of the time so I don't shut it down unless I need to and its empty.

ADB on Windows 8

Some time ago, I went from stock Amazon OS to Chameleon OS. After that, I lost ADB connection on my family's laptop running Windows 7. Now I'm running CM10.2, and I'm trying to figure out how to enable ADB on my Windows 8 laptop. For a while I could do it over Wi-Fi using ADB Wireless, but now it's having issues. Is there anyway to get ADB over USB on Windows 8?

Thanks! The thread you linked me to didn't work for me. I did disable driver signature enforcement though, something I've been meaning to do for a while. I ended up just using stunt's ADB drivers. They work when I'm in the root of the folder where I keep them, but if I add the folder to the PATH statement, it acts like I'm using the old ADB drivers. :silly:
Oh well. Again, thanks!

Cannot Get Drivers Installed for Windows 8.1 - Manual Installation or SDK

I cannot possibly figure out what the heck is causing my Windows 8.1 Installation to not detect my Nexus 6. Google comes up with TONS of results for this issue, but all troubleshooting points to what I have already done.
Plug it in, comes up as "Nexus 6" under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. With the little Yellow ! mark.
Downloaded the USB drivers from here - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html attempted to install them and I get an error message. After selecting the folder that contains the driver.
"Windows was unable to install your Nexus 6: Windows could not find the driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software"
What I have Tried:
- Installing Drivers with USB Debugging ON and OFF
- Installing Drivers with Connection set to MTP and PTP on the phone
- Disabled Driver Signature Enforcement and attempted to install.
- Downloading Drivers a second time to ensure no corruption was in the file.
- Attempted to install via Android SDK (This appears to work per SDK software, but Device Manager shows no change, and the nexus isnt showing up in Explorer.)
- Tested Nexus on another Device. (Running Windows 7. Literally Plug and play No manual Installation needed. Worked)
I'm at total Loss here, Any other Ideas?
@morbid_bean,
Did you try the Motorola Device Manager >https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that seems to have done nothing
I'd go w/ uninstall all other drivers first, change cables and see what happens.
Try this:
1) Download the driver from the link in your post, and unzip the files to any location;
2) Open Device Manager on your PC and turn on the option to "Show hidden devices" from the View menu;
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
4) With USB Debugging set to OFF, plug your device into your PC. Windows should automatically install the MTP driver and It should be recognized;
5) Now turn USB Debugging ON;
6) Go back into Device Manager, right click on your device and select "Update driver software";
7) Select "Browse my computer...", NOT "Search automatically...";
8) Click "Browse", and locate the driver you downloaded in step 1.
EDIT: I don't think you have to disable Driver Signature Enforcement, but if it gives you issues, try disabling it.

I understand. OP has diagnosed his problem as drivers, but if his problem is ADB not connecting to his N6, it could be the problem. As I said, it's a long shot.
OP Here with a status update.
Continued to try some other suggestions. Such as another Cable, another USB port, reboots. Hell I seriously went as far as a whole Windows 8.1 Re-install. I had some feeling that possibility because I am rooted its causing issues; so I even went as far as taking my old Nexus 4 and reverted it to 100% stock to attempt to install the drivers and then trying the nexus 6. But I got same results.

When I follow these steps I was successfully able to install drivers for something called "Android Composite ADB Interface"; "MTP" or "Nexus 6" was still failing. Even after switching debugging on. I still unfortunately do not see anything in Explorer that I can access the Nexus 6's files. Maybe this is an indicator that I am getting closer?

When I installed Android SDK, it told me I needed JDK before proceeding with the installation. So I'm pretty sure I did this.

I just realized that the last part on my step 3 was cut off. It should read:
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
As far as your issue, I'm pretty sure that Windos recognizes the N6 as an MTP device (assuming you have it on MTP) without any additional drivers, so I'm not sure what the problem is. My steps were to get the ADB driver installed, which seems to have worked. (ADB allows you access to your files via command line...)

FIXED IT!
I am running a version of Windows 8.1 known as Windows 8.1 Pro N Essentially this is a slightly stripped down version and does not include "Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker" I managed to get this copy really cheap.
More Info Here
So essentially I needed to download THIS Pack/Update which gave me these special features. Including the resolution of my Driver Problem. Rebooted the computer plugged in my phone and it was detected and installed drivers automatically.
Special Credit to THIS thread for helping me with the answer. I hope this can be added to any Driver Installation Guide or Sticky to assist others that may come across this problem.
Glad you got it resolved. I've never heard of Pro N. Another wrinkle in the Windows 8.1 driver issues, it seams.
Recently I have been deving on a friends nexus 6 with 5.1.1 on it all drivers are installed properly device shows in adb i even get adb root successful but it refuses to adb remount for testing purposes even on roms that have modified boot.img's with init.d in them and ro.secure=0 set and adb persistance is also set so there is no reason for it not to mount. I imagine there could be a problem with it mounting system on boot but I am new to aosp 5.1.1 roms and this solution did not work for me it tells me the windows 8.1 version I'm running is not applicable for this update? So if anyone can lend some assistance it would be much appreciated.
The Nexus 6 is VZW unlocked bootloader and rooted twrp recovery all the latest
currently any rom i try i cant mount through adb so testing for themes is impossible?

My question is: Why would old google universal adb drivers work when everyone else says to use the new google usb drivers in tandem with the Motorola drivers for vzw? Thats the only reason i didnt use the tool is b/c its outdated?

But alas! It does work, I've tested it myself. Also, you can install the most recent drivers optionally.

Yup that didnt work either. I get su in adbshell it shows me # so there is su i just dont get why it wont mount at all or pull or push obviously cant do that if it won't mount. And no tutorial I've followed nor solution has worked thus far. As stated above that solution worked for him with windows media center or whatever but that doesnt apply to me. I've done this hundreds of times with many many many devices on windows 7 I've even done it with 3 devices on 8.1 so far no problems this is the only one to give me issues like this.
It's always a bit of messing around with it to get it to work but this is different i have spent hours going back and forth removing all drivers installing new ones using tools etc.
