I'm very new to Android development (my first app), so please bear with me.
I'm using Eclipse with the android SDK. Using the Android SDK and AVD Manager, I've installed the Usb Driver package, rev 3.
To this point, I've been using the emulators to debug and develop. Now I need to debug on my device (bought a ViewSonic GTablet). Somewhere in my searching for solutions to how to get this going, I found that I need to get the drivers correctly installed. Those instructions directed me to:
- Modify the android_winusb.inf file in the usb_driver folder
- Install USBDeview program
- Removed all drivers associated with Andriod and NVIDIA Tegra 2 (I think there were 3 or 4)
- Connect the GTablet with USB and follow new found hardware wizard. Direct it to modified .inf file
The problem is, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" does its thing automatically without user intervention. I end up with 1 NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device driver. I think I'm supposed to have another driver called something like "Android Composite ADB Interface".
I tried using the Add Hardware wizard to install this, but it always results in saying "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Sorry for this lengthy explanation...can anyone please help?
Hi,
I struggled getting adb working until today. There's info for getting adb working with Gtab here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
The key for me was adding the 3 lines to the .inf. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the tab.
Then, in Win Device Manager uninstall the devices under Android.
Then unplug the USB, then reboot Windows.
After Windows starts, plug in USB, then when wizard pops up, browse to the USB driver dir.
Jim
Thank you jimcpl for the reply.
It's still a no-go.
I have done all the steps lined out in the link you provided--and thought your reboot step may be the key to making it work, but that didn't do it.
When I plug the GTab back in, I do get a "found new hardware" popup message, but no wizard is appearing. The result is, the system is installing:
(With the help of USBDeview window)
Device Name: NVIDIA Harmony
Description: NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device
Device Type: Mass Storage --> This one I can use to transfer files
...
I see no other devices associated with the GTab
What device type should the "Android Composite ADB Interface" be?
Also...Maybe this is a silly question, but isn't it the miniUSB connection I should be plugging in to?
More info on the problem
I found that when attempting to install the adb driver, the system is not using the .inf file I'm pointing it to. It is using one titled "oem24.inf". I found this by looking in Start->All programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information. Then under Software Environment/Signed Drivers there is the "Android ADB Interface" listed.
I can see the referenced oem24.inf file (and associated .pnf files) under C:\Window\inf folder
BTW. I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3
In here I see at least 3 .ini files that have the three lines that we're using to modify the android_windusb.inf file with.
So the question now becomes...
How do I get the installation (or driver update) to use the .inf file I point it to?
Another recent thread suggested that window's supplied drivers will have to be removed. Are these what he may be referring to? If so how do I do that?
PLEASE -- I need a response from someone that knows something about this!
Memory doesn’t serve me too well in windows xp but go to device manager, click on action, add legacy hardware, Install the hardware that I manually select or something close to that then, have disk and point to the directory where the inf is located and install it. Make sure you modded the inf from the post above and you should be good to go.
Thanks...but, not the solution
I really appreciate the suggestion littleoldme!
In XP, Device Manager/Action menu only has the "Help" link which lauches the Microsoft Management Console. Doing a search for "Legacy" in the console results in no hits.
So I'm still stuck

I found your answer.. see URL below
tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/after-installing-froyo-adb-cant-see-device
I want to thank all who responded with suggestions to this problem.
I've followed all advice given and carefully followed all directions given in suggested links.
Unfortunately, there seems to be some underlying condition on my pc that is preventing the successful installation of the necessary adb driver. No matter what I have done so far, Windows is choosing NOT to use the driver I point it to, and use what it wants instead. I don't even get the "New Hardware" wizard when following the directions. It installs automatically and I have to launch a separate "Install new Hardware" dialog.
Anyway...through persistence, I've been able so far to develop this first app without the debug connection to the device using the development emulators, then installing the signed .apk on the device for further testing (via the one USB mass storage connection I do get).
So, maybe one day I'll find the reason, but for now I'll be purging on to get the app ready to go.
Thanks again for all help received.
I just come across this thread. After insert the usb device, then you might might find the unknown device in device manager. unstall that unknown device. And then do a hardware scan again in device manager. After it find your device again, point back to your USB inf file. It might work this way.
One thing I forgot. Do not unplug your device between uninstall and hardware scanning.
AAAHHH! GTAB Eclipse ADB frustration!
Thanks for all the tips, everyone, but I've been trying for days to be able to connect my gtab to use as a device for installing/debugging my apps. I too am running Eclipse using the emulators to date.
I've tried the steps outlined in the link provided by jimcpl, as well as others that are slightly varied, but to no avail.
I am running Vista SP2. My Gtab has been rooted, running ClockworkMod, and TnTLite 2.2. I also updated the Google USB package, rev 4 via the SDK/AVD Manager after attempting to use the rev 3 usb package.
Should any of these be reason why I cannot connect my gtab to Eclipse via ADB?
I'm totally frustrated...If anyone has any other suggestions, please forward them on!
Thanks in advance.

On the Gtab, is USB debugging enabled?
On the Windows machine, did you add the 3 lines for tetra?

Thanks Jim...Yes, and yes. I finally got connected. Old drivers were conflicting, and even though I'd repeatedly uninstall them in Device Manager, the ADB USB drivers would load, but not start the device. I finally got USBDeview to uninstall them successfully after many attempts and reboots, plugged in my GTab, and finally installed correctly, and it works like a champ!

Hi,
Ok, thanks. I'm glad it's working for you now.
FYI, I think that when you "uninstall" a device from Device Manager in Windows, it doesn't physically delete driver files, etc. from your hard drive. It just removes the references to the removed device drivers from the Windows configuration.
That's why if you reboot, or do a scan for devices again, and if Windows thinks that it detects the physical device, it'll try to use the same driver files, .inf, etc. In that case, you have to force the installation of the new/correct driver, by not letting Windows automatically find the drivers (because otherwise, Windows will find the same ones from before, the non-working ones).
It's kind of a pain sometimes ... I ran into the same thing when I tried to install the ADB USB drivers. I downloaded the USB driver files from Android dev website, but those are generic. They have stuff in the .inf for some phones/devices that Google has relationships with, but not the "proprietary" ones like for the Gtab. That's why you have to add the 3 lines, which match (I guess) the Gtab.

I originally posted this inside the Glorious Overdose V2 thread, but decided to post here as well.
For some reason my computer won't recognize my Sidekick when I plug it in via usb. I do have the samsung drivers installed and it will read my friends Samsung Droid Charge just fine, but when I plug my Sidekick in it comes up saying "USB Device Not Recognized". So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the device manager to no avail. Wondering if anyone has an idea as to what it could be. I've also tried googling the solution and everyone says to just uninstall and reinstall the drivers and it should work. Now the phone is not plugged into a USB Hub, extender, or case, it is plugged directly into a usb port on the mother board.
PC Specs just in case:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU - AMD FX-4100
Memory - 8GB DDR3 1066
Phone:
T-Mobile Sidekick 4G running Glorious Overdose V2
Nothing added just the rom and some apps/games.
I have tried with USB Debugging on and off, either way does not work.
Update: I have since tried Kies mini, as well as the drivers found on Softpedia. Neither of those worked, so I just got done reformatting and reinstalling Windows hoping that would work. At first it did not, right now I am running windows update to see if that was the issue, I'll update of what the outcome is.
Update: After installing all available Windows updates it's still not recognizing the phone. Now no matter what it's saying it's an Unknown Device. Even after I try and do a manual driver update and tell it to look in the folder with the driver files from Softpedia. I'm at a complete loss now.
If anyone has any idea's please let me know.
What mode do you have the phone in? Settings->Applications->USB Settings. It should be in Mass Storage if you want to access its SD Card.
Maybe put another rom on the sd card and flash something else, I don't think it would be a rom issue but it would be worth a try?

It's set to USB Debugging. But even then, it should read as something else other then Unknown Device when I plug it in. I have tried plugging it in and selecting Mass Storage, still comes up as Unknown Device.

I've thought about that, and from everything I can see it's either the ROM or the drivers. So we'll see...I'll probably try a different ROM and see what happens.
I suggest turning USB debugging off and mass storage on, for how you'll be using it. And recall that you have to change this stuff with the USB cable unplugged.
I've tried that, and after talking with the T2 Technical Support from Samsung for 45min today, the only option left is to send the phone in to get worked on. Though, I'm going into the T-Mobile store and see if they can't replace the phone or give me a loner while this one is out getting repaired.
More info request.

Thank you, I tried unpacking them to a folder on C:\ went into Device Manager, right clicked on the Unknown Device, Update Driver Software..., Browse My Computer for Driver Software, Set the search to C:\, and still saying Unknown Device is the best driver software for it. No idea why it's doing this.
Proper Driver Update
What is going on is that Windows is seeing a more recent signature file attached to the SK4G drivers on your computer (I don't believe anything at all is wrong with your device) than the working ones there.
First, in Add/Remove Programs, uninstall the Samsung Kies and Samsung Driver pack you installed earlier. Now...
Go into on your PC:
://windows/system32
And locate the same file names, cut them all, and paste them in a temporary folder you create, preferably on the desktop or something similar. You may not find every file, and that's okay, just the ones you can find. Next, you will be wanting to paste the driver files from the package I uploaded. Now, turn off Automatic Updates, so it doesn't automatically install drivers upon connection. Reboot the computer, double check and make sure Automatic Upates are off when you log back on. Now, connect the device and see if it gives you the same results. By removing the old drivers which don't work, you'll be able to force it to the ones we know work, and you /should/ have success. As well - USB data debugging active and activating connection for data transfer via the notification pulldown menu would be the best way to do this initially.
Would I be looking in c:\windows\system32\drivers for the same file names as the ones you packed up?
Ok, so the only one I could find in the drivers folder was modem.sys. But it will not let me move/replace the one that's already in there. It's telling me access is denied, same thing when I try and set the permissions it will not let me. I am logged in as an Administrator, as well it says it when I log in as THE Administrator account. So yeah...
Cool - modem.sys is a stock one that is shared with the device, so that's fine.
With the other two programs uninstalled, the old drivers uninstalled, and forcing it into those by pasting them into //win/sys32/drivers you should be in business. Hmm. You can try UnlockRoot.com's device rooter - I know they have an auto driver detector in their program. As well, you can try SuperOneClick, but I don't remember if they do or no. What about going in from the Recovery menu and toggling USB? Anything wierd going on in the /mounts? What about ADB shell access from the Android SDK on Windows?

I tried plugging the phone in, still showing up as Unknown Device. Tried UnlockRoot.com's program, no change. Installing the Android SDK right now, as well as I tried deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, and no change with that either. Once I'm done installing the Android SDK I'll redelete the INFCACHE.1 file and restart and try the phone again.
I did go in and check the mounts in recovery and they were set to:
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Thank you for your help so far.
UPDATE: So after installing the Android SDK, deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, restarting, and then plugging the phone in, comes up and says the USB Device is Not Recognized. Then goes to search the preconfigured driver folders, and fails to install the driver for Unknown Device. And ADB Devices shows no devices as well(didn't think it would, but yeah).
UPDATE: So after using my friends phone as a conduit to throw the Stock Odexed KJ2 w/ Root(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328698) onto my SDCard and flashing that the phone seemed to go into a soft brick at pre-boot screen(where it says SAMSUNG T-Mobile blah blah blah). Mind you this would freeze before it was even able to get into recovery. So I took it into T-Mobile and they are doing a manufacturer warranty replacement. So hopefully this next phone will be able to connect to the computer and be read correctly.
hey guys im trying to use virtualBox on my Ubuntu machine. Im trying to run windows 7. Got it all set up and loaded with no problems. Heres where I cant get passed.
Im trying to get VB to utilize the entire screen space. Ive read through all the articles about installing the additions iso. I cant seem to find a good copy. Also I cant get Odin to recognize my phone either. I have USB set up in VB and can access the files on phone but cant get Odin to recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can install guest additions from within VirtualBox. It shows up as a mounted CD drive. Open it, & run the appropriate script.
If your ultimate goal is to use Odin, though, I don't think it will work through VirtualBox. Maybe it's possible, but I think it needs direct access to the USB. You could just dual-boot Windows & do it directly.
Thanks for the info

thanx for the info dude. I guess i just assumed i could get it to work in a virtual machine. Could have swore Ive seen Adam doing it...mind u he is MUCH MUCH more educated than me. That is my goal. I have a linux machine and wanna use odin to flash Adams Odin root file for the Note 2. No problem running his CASUAL program, but need to root it first and as far as I can tell it needs to be done in Windows. I guess I can always turn a spare computer back into a windows machine...just didnt wanna have to go through the headache,.
Well, you can boot off a Ubuntu install disk (or make a GParted Live USB), then use gparted to resize your Ubuntu. Set a few GB aside for a new partition, then install Windows there, instead of installing Windows in the VM. It ends up being the same thing, just a few more steps to get it running.
Just make sure you back up your grub config and mbr. I don't think Windows would make your Ubuntu install vanish, but ya never know...

I'm using Ubuntu but there's no way I'm playing with my phone on it - I have a Windows partition just for that sort of thing. Maybe if it weren't my daily driver, I'd be willing to give it a shot but, while I use Linux for just about everything, it's just easier to have a Windows partition for some things. This being one of them.

A couple of things I have found:
1. While MTP did not work with my Mint 15 system and stock android 4.1.2 on my phone, once I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed cyanogenmod, it worked like a charm.
Before, when I plugged in my phone, I would get multiple error windows saying the MTP system wasn't available. I had to use windows (yuck!) and odin to get root and unlock the bootloader (although I did not try the virtualbox windows until after I had done this). I installed the most recent version of cyanogenmod and now the Mint system recognizes the MTP just fine. No error windows or anything.
2. I was able to get a virtualbox windows machine to recognize the phone, although it required different usb filters for download mode and for typical mtp.
This required going into download mode, selecting the appropriate filter in virtualbox, unplugging the phone, booting up the virtual machine and then replugging the phone. After this, odin recognized the phone. I did not attempt to flash anything further, though, since I had already done so from a windows system.
I think Ubuntu ships with mtp and its libraries now
I used to use arch Linux. Such a fun distro. Then work started using a TS gateway and it started become too much a hassle. Installed Windows 8, no longer fighting the system :screwy:

What do you mean you have a windows partition? I have a laptop that's quad booted with Windows 7, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Pear OS 8.

A couple days ago my mobile data just stopped working. I had a couple updates I had been ignoring because it would remove the root. I finally gave in and ran the updates. Data returned. Root gone. I connected to my home computer to begin the root process, but my phone would not be recognized by the PC and would not show anything related except that it was charging. It's a new cable, barely used. I tried on my work computer with a different cable and still nothing except "charging". To the best of my knowledge, it connected to my computer just fine prior to the updates.
I've checked Developer Options for anything that says "USB". Toggled USB debugging, revoked authorizations, etc. "Select USB Configuration" is a weird one, all I have are: "Charging", "MTP", "PTP", RNDIS (USB Eathernet)", and "MIDI". But in "Default USB Configuration" I have: "No data transfer", "File transfer / Android Auto", "MIDI", "PTP", "USB tethering". I've selected every option, but (again) no reaction from my phone or PC.
My final options are wipe and reset, or take it to a store; I'm wanting to avoid both of these if possible. Does anyone have an idea of what else I can try?
Maybe try this?

I'll take a look at that tonight.
To answer your questions, phone boots and everything else seems to operate just fine. Just checked and boot screen says "Orange State Your device has been unlocked and can no longer be trusted", then like 30 seconds later it boots. It no longer has root after the updates and the only way I know to do it is through adb and fastboot commands. But also I backup my photos to my home PC when it gets pretty full. Also, also I occasionally do mobile development at home and test things on my phone.
The orange state is when it's bootloader unlocked. So that's normal. To root, you would indeed need an adb connection even when using the patching boot method.
I just remembered something. Go to your pc, look for a file in Users> your username > .android (hidden folder) > adb.key.
Even when you revoke authorisation from the phone, if that file still exists, the pc still sees 2 different keys so it won't allow it. So see if you can delete it.
Are you on win10 or sbove? It sometimes won't let you connect "untrusted" devices. Hope it helps.

Ya, I wasn't too worried about the bootloader message, just being thorough. I'll try the android folder at home also, but for what it's worth I don't have anything android-related on my work computer and it doesn't connect either.
Both are Win10
In device manager in win10, do you have any yellow triangle next to android drivers? What are the drivers you installed for your phone?

Phone doesn't show anywhere in Device Manager, and no yellow triangles. IIRC, drivers were installed by my phone when I plugged it in at home. I actually don't remember the last time I plugged into my pc at work before now.
Then look for your brand's android drivers and install them. I think that's the issue. Plugging the phone alone would install generic android drivers not your specific ones.
Short version: Nothing worked.
I had already tried searching for "oneplus 9 drivers". The main site doesn't offer anything, so there are a couple search results that really feel like scam sites. But they're the top results, so maybe I'm wrong. I installed the results from the search, and also searched xda and the one result I found.
I downloaded the ISO for mAid. Ran it in a VM. I couldn't really figure out what to do in it to troubleshoot. I was also discouraged because if my computer won't recognize the device, then why would the device show up in a VM?
I found and removed adbkey and adbkey.pub from "Users\<me>\.android\".
I had a brief bit of hope. I doubt the drivers caused it, so I'll probably remove those again. I got the device to appear in Device Manager but with a yellow triangle. It only seemed to happen when switching between "No data transfer" and "File transfer / Android Auto". The device was displayed as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I doubt that provides much help though.
Have you tried clearing out the dust bunny's in the usb port on phone?
Keep the device in file transfer mode and with a yellow triangle. That's better than nothing.
I found this. Try and install it. (Also, doesn't this forum have a sticky thread for drivers? I have the 9pro btw)

Yup. Folded some paper after the previous stuff. A little bit came out, but not so much that I'd think it's the issue. I have a floss stick thing, but it was a bit thicker and was moving the piece inside the slot.

I'm new to XDA, but from what I've seen there's only a sticky for OS Builds

Took a look on OP9 forum, doesn't look like there is one. We have that on OP9Pro. Here's a link to the drivers, should work for you i think.

"Device Descriptor request failed" tells you that the very first step of USB enumeration failed.
So you're talking about flakey cable, bad connection, interference OR the device was not initialized properly.
So try different ports, different computers, something different.
The first step is getting it to the point where it connects solidly (even if it can't/won't find a driver).
Unfortunately you can't tell Windows to use common sense and install a WinUSB driver. That's why we have Zadig: https://zadig.akeo.ie/
Unfortunately (again), adb.exe expects the correct DeviceInterfaceGUID. Ok, you can patch adb.exe or you can use Zadig with a custom .cfg file to specify the DIGUID.
Here is an example .cfg file. You'll have to fill in the VID/PID/MI if you ever get your phone to connect solidly and you can see that info in the DeviceManager.
So, go to Zadig, select Device > Load Preset File, select Options > List all devices, find your device and hit install.
Code:
[device]
Description="Standard Google Device"
VID=0x18d1
PID=0x4ee7
MI=0x00
GUID="{f72fe0d4-cbcb-407d-8814-9ed673d0dd6b}"
Good luck.
Dang... I think it's the dust bunnies. I have to push the cord in pretty hard, but it'll connect. So either bunnies or I don't know if the port itself gets displaced over time. Used an air compressor to blow out a bit, might try a bit more tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help!

Try using a toothpick. Just try not to bend port too much.
