Hey guys,
I'm having problem with ADB and my AMOLED Desire on Win7 x64.
In general, adb isn't working. I tried many different drivers (at the moment I'm using the one from HTC Sync) but none of them really gave me adb options.
In Device Manager, there is a Android Composite ADB Interface and I can use adb devices. Then it shows me HT05APL06241.
But I cannot pull/push/remove anything and while using QtADB there are no files/folders on the phone.
However, I can take screenshots via QtADB and fastboot commands work too (just flashed cm7 hboot^^).
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

Now, I have figured out that I have to actually be in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder for ADB to work, but when I type adb devices it just says List of devices attached but doesn't list my Evo.
I have USB debugging on.
An Android ADB/rooting noob guide would be very helpful right now.

Does it have anything there when you type adb devices? Should come up with a HT and some numbers after it....being your device, EVO.
Actually, there is a step by step Guide for EVO root, and a ADB Guide for Beginners
Your device isn't being recoginized check the driver if u r in windows.
Ok, I managed to figure out the cryptic SDK installer and download the USB driver package to android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. I used Device Manager to install the driver and I pointed it to that folder and I get the "Windows was unable to install your ADB".
Are you already Rooted? as for the Drivers, when I plugged in my EVO via USB, it installed drivers...I also copied the HTC Sync that came on the SDCard w/phone, onto my pc. But I did not have to do anything further.
Can I ask what you are trying to do in adb? and is this for the EVO?
use the cd command to make sure you are in the android sdk tools folder
if you want adb to work
what i do
1. use the cd command to go to the directory where my sdk is located which for example is c:\androidsdk\tools
2. there you go
3. if you want shell make sure your device is connected
"adb shell"
and have htc sync from evo's sd card installed

Sent from my HTC EVO
download htc sync and install that. i was having the same problems and apparently the usb drivers that get installed with that app are the ones that worked like a charm for me.
Try
Code:
./adb devices
Instead.
--> try" adb start-server "
If your HTC dont show up, it's usually because the ADB server isnt running. Hope this helps =]
I've rooted a hero before and felt pretty confident with android sdk, usb drivers, etc. After spending an hour trying to get it to work on my win 7 64 bit system, I thought it might save someone some time if I posted what finally allowed me to get adb to work.
My problem was the computer wouldn't recognize the EVO as a device. Even after I installed the usb drivers through android sdk. I tried to manually update them through device manager (pointing it to the usb drivers directory) and still no luck.
As the video linked above showed, the missing piece for me was installing htc sync. use the version that comes on the phone. So connect the phone to the computer, mount it as a drive from the phone menu, then copy over the htc sync directory to your computer, then run it. The version on my phone was 2.031. THEN the computer will recognize it with usb debugging turned on and I'm able to adb to the phone through the command prompt.
Hope that helps someone. Sean
I'm having a problem that is affecting two different computers, both of them gives me a 'adb device not found' message and it won't list my G2 when I typed in 'adb devices', the only difference between them is that in my laptop it gives me a message that it couldn't successfully install 'ADB'(Windows 7 Home 64 Bit) while my older Windows XP SP3 desktop gives me no such message.
Before replying, please note that I have Checked USB debugging and have done everything in the ADB for dummies thread, which includes the adding the tools part to Path and I have reinstalled my drivers more than five times (with and without USBDeview), each time with a different method. I am not mounting my SD card. I have also tried the PDAnet method. I have modified the android_winusb.inf file and reinstalled it. Tried uninstalling my USB Root Hub's as suggested by another. I have updated my USB Driver in SDK to rev 4. There aren't any yellow checkmarks in my Device Manager, however I have noticed that I only have 'Android Phone' and the subcategory 'Android Composite ADB Interface', I've heard that I should see another category like 'ADB Device Driver'. I have tried to fix this problem for five hours to root my G2, any help would be appreciated very much.
Where did you get your drivers from ? In the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685 I suggest getting them from the HTC Sync software, not the SDK.
I walked a guy with Win 7 through this the other day, and it worked fine for him.
I know it sounds like a stupid question but is the adb.exe file in your tools folder? If not, try running an advance search and only in the titles search for "drivers". You should only get about 10 returns. The top one should have some files attached named tools. Download them and extract the files to your tools folder. Then try running the adb devices again, yesterday I had to do that cuz for some reason adb.exe wasn't there.
I second getting the drivers from HTC Sync and remember the desire z is the same a G2 so run the seach for desire z for htc sync.

adb has been taken out of the latest version of the SDK "Starter" package (the 2.3 one). It used to be there in the 2.2 version. So now you have to run SDK Manager to install the platform-tools add-on, then you get adb. This is all in my updated adb guide
ddgarcia05 - I didn't have adb in my tools folder, however I don't believe that you need adb.exe in that folder, just in the 'platform-tools' folder or in the system-32 fodler. Thanks for trying.
steviewevie - Thank you so much! I found your adb for noobs thread and it seems that installing HTC Sync after uninstalling my previous drivers via USBDeview worked like a charm. I also didn't see that you had to add 'platform-tools' in the Path in the various other threads, so I did that too. +1 Thanks to your helpful thread!
Hey all, trying to push gtalk library files to MildWild 4.3 system dir has turned into a massive headache.
ADB doesn't recognize I have my device connected. Commands always return "error:device not found". "adb devices" command returns blank.
From the tutorials I've read in these forums, I was under the impression HTC Sync drivers in fastboot mode are needed to use ADB. No dice. I've tried other drivers I've found in the forms as well: "android-usb-driver.zip" from unrevoked and "adb_driver_htc.zip" (found this in the sim unlock utility thread).
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
What is the proper name of the device in device manager? Right now I'm using HTC Sync drivers in fastboot and the name is: Android USB Devices > My HTC.
The guides I've read never touch on this issue, they always skip it and assume the device is connectable.
Thanks in advance

To use ABD you need to be connected in recovery or a booted device.

Brilliant. Like you said, ADB recognized my device in both booted OS and recovery. However, I needed to be in recovery to push files to the system directory. Thanks.
You're welcome. You can push in booted device you just need to enable superuser rights in adb shell.

90% of the time the problem is with the drivers etc. Use this tutorial to fix that : http://goo.gl/OS3Vi
If you still encounter the problem then you can use ADBwireless available at google play to wirelessly connect your device to the computer
Hope it helps :highfive:
Unchecking MTP did it. Thanks!!
Why is that necessary on the N7Flo but not my old N7 or the N4 (or any other device I've had contact with for that matter)?
Also, anyone know how I can get devices to show up as a folder...you know...like a thumb drive?

You can't. Both the n4 and the n7 have their memorys formatted as ext4, partition type that windows can't access normally. MTP was the only sollution google had.
Well my htc wildfire is not shown in the list when i execute the command adb devices, and its not present in the windows device manager. However if i enter recovery and plug the usb in, it recognizes my wildfire as android device- my htc and i can see it in the adb devices. Does anyone know how i can install it properly so i can see it in my adb devices when im not in recovery? I had it working somehow in the past but i formatted my pc and cant do it :S

I had that issue too and created a thread but it solved itself somehow. You should download the Universal ADB driver (you can download them here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. And you can also install the PDA Net drivers for the Wildfire.
Thanks for the reply, however i solved it by reflashing the rom in my wildfire. Thanks
Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Do you have HTC Sync Manager?
Also, in Device manager does your Drivers have Errors (Yellow Triangle)?

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like
My HTC
Android Interface Device or possibly android ADB interface

Hmm Very strange.
Try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed
I was having issues with adb not finding my device. These drivers worked for me...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all
