Ok so i am currently running the dudes cupcake .92....
I want to change my boot image, so i follow the instructions in the
custom boot image thread...when i turn my phone on in fastboot and
plug in the usb, it prompts me 2 install the drivers..this is where im
having the problem. I go to device manager and find my g1. It says
android 1.0..so i right click and update driver software and it
doesn't install the drivers
can sum1 please tell me wat i'm doing wrong?????
make sure you are running the most recent drivers from the most recent SDK. Google that and try... I had a PITA with Windows 7 and my phone until I used the most recent drivers. Do you see the ADB device on your device manager? If not you for sure need to update a mass storage driver. Had that problem on 3 computers... Too many different driver versions for me. GL
Please post in the relevant thread instead of creating a new one.
Thread Closed.

Hi All
Long time readers very small time poster. I have a fair few android devices that I play with on and recieve to review regulary and at times I dont get sent anything other than a phone. No install disc, drivers ETC.
My Question I ask is there a way to create these ADB Drivers for windows for these devices or is there a repository on where these are located?
Help guidance assistance is most welcome and would be greatly thankful.
Sluz
I guess it depends on which devices you are talking about. There is a forum post on this site for ADB drivers for the G1, there is a page I found for the Evo at htcevohacks site. Also, the drivers are generally contained in the SDK if you download it. For HTC devices, the HTC Sync software automatically installs the ADB drivers for your device. If you do it the HTC Sync way, it for some reason never shows ADB device in your device manager though. I would post links for you but I still can't yet since I'm a new user. Hope this helps.
thanks Squirrelmayo
At present I am trying to hunt down the ADB drivers for the LG GT540 "Optimus"
any help as where to look, LG does not have anything on there site. All sties I have visited have no drivers. Althou i could be blind.
the driver comes with the sdk but may not have the device ids specific to your model. If you can find these then you can simply add 6 lines to the .inf (for windows)
Works for the incredible,not sure about other models.
The device/usb ids may be obtainable from device manager when you see the device detected icon. (yellow questionmark)
Been playing around and no luck
Was able to get the PID and VID details and tried adding lines in but stiull was unable to get them to work.
anyone here who can help me with installing Android SDK/ADB/usb driver/whatever it is? well im just copying this guide
androidcentral.com/sdk-driver-root-oh-my (cant put links)
but i keep failing at this part
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Now browse to the SDK folder, and point Windows to the folder named usb_driver. Click the image below to enlarge it and see the usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK.

i wasted 4 hours on this already and i feel really stupid
would appreciate it very much if someone could help.
by the way i reinstalled it, then tried to do it using this guide adrynalyne.us/files/How%20to%20install%20adb.pdf
all was going good until i tried to plug my phone while the USB Debugging is turned on, it won't even show the option of "Locate and install driver software."
i tried to check device manager but i cant find adb in there to load it or something. oh and i found many new i haven't seen before, like Android USB Device, Android phone, etc.
someone on another forum suggested that i download htc sync 3.0 too, so i did, but i dont really have any idea how to use it
sorry if i seem stupid, just really really new to this, got an android phone for xmas as a gift
Search for phone drivers on the manufacturers website and of you are on 64 bit, get 32 and 64 bit drivers

Hi, I have a Micromax A52 device that I am trying to use for application development. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the correct drivers for the phone. I scoured the Micromax website, but the drivers I found there did not seem to work at all. I searched these forums, and there are a few topics about the phone, but they all seem to be unsuccessful rooting attempts. All I need is drivers that will let me interface the phone with eclipse for testing. I didn't see a section for this phone (probably because the handset is not very popular) so I didn't know where a better place to post this was. Sorry if it's in the wrong section or something. Anyway, does anyone have working drivers for this device? I tried installing the drivers for the A50 (the previous model that has working drivers) but it did not work. Please help
Hello so I read trough your complains and this is the driver which should work in any case: http://www.priceandspecification.in/micromax-a52-pc-suite-modem-driver-download.html
A few questions:
What operating system your using: XP, 7 or MAC?
Have you installed ADB drivers?
I have the ADB drivers installed, and I am running Windows 7. These are the same drivers I found on the Micromax website which did not work for me. Maybe I am just installing it wrong or something, but I honestly can not make head or tail of it because there are so many folders with so many installers. I tried running a few of the intaller exe/bats but none of them worked for me. Is there some process I don't know about? Because as far as I can tell, this installer does not work. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
If you are looking for Micormax A52 (unknown device/no suitable in device manager) then you can also install A56 driver.
Code:
http://www.micromaxsuperfone.com/products/PDF/Drivers_A56.zip 13MB
Right click on Micromax A52 and update driver software and choose the android_winusb.inf which will show you three different driver company's and drivers.
Choose Google Inc and on right side choose Android ADB interface.
Then your adb devices would display your device.

Hi there
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia L to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.

UPDATE :
Use flashtool drivers to install adb/fastboot/flashboot drivers. This is the most simplest and easiest method I have come across lately.
Simply download flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Go to folder where you have downloaded it. Usually C:/flashtool/drivers.
Select the drivers for your particular device. I use universal for all three types of drivers. It is helpful to boot into fastboot/Flashtool before installing the drivers but not necessarily.
Good Luck

Did you try the attached drivers ?
I am just wondering you might hadnot turned USB debugging or disabled MTP mode or something you might have done to your kernel/ROM that might have changed the environment of your phone which factory reset reverted back. These drivers are NOT the drivers for connecting your device to your PC. These are used when you are unlocking your bootloader or working with ADB/fastboot commands.
Thanks for your contribution about how it worked for you and it might help others who might have a problem!
you can use ADB Wireless

Thanks a lot for your help.
I am still having this problem for days now. still no connection to pc/flashtool whenever i try to reboot into flashmode/flashboot. i've been google'ing around. and i've tried this method but it's seems doesnt work. i've already got tons of these unknown devices, and the driver doesnt work(or maybe im too noobish to install them).please help

For a second when I looked at your images, I was just baffled. THOSE MANY UNKNOWN DEVICES! That can't be right you know.
There must be only ONE unknown device that ought to be installed as mentioned above in my post.
Do you see these devices when you connect your phone to your PC or those unknown devices are already there?
Have you tried windows update to fix it?
Tell me more about why you see so many devices.
If suppose, they are already there, just see which device comes up when you connect your phone and try installing drivers for that particular device.
Also, i suggest just go for add a new device and then select hard disk and then install drivers which are attached. I hope that fixes your problem.
REMEMBER your device must be connected when you are trying to install the drivers
right.i'm gonna give it a try,wish me luck. thanks!
I still need your help!!
I could not install or might be dont know how to install the attached xperia drivers which are in .dll files. Can u explain in detail how can I install it. I've lost root access after upgrade to 4.2.2 . I do really need your help to get back root access and install a valid driver for my device. From C2104

just go to device manager, connect phone and find ur not recognized device; then right click on it and press update/install drivers. From the window that will appear choose socond option (it should be something like manualy find drivers or something like that), then navigate to that downloaded folder. This way it should install them
But XL doesnt need any external drivers. If u install fasboot an flashmode drivers from flashtool folder they should work; they are working for me and for anyone i know. U may also install SEUS and then connect phone. This way u dont need that drivers, but ofc what i have mentioned earlier should work.

Hi
well first thing you need to understand is there are three drivers you need to install to make everything work including fastboot , flashboot, and Xperia L storage and SD card.
To install each type of drivers, you must have the phone in that particular state. To install normal drivers (for mass storage and PC companion), if suppose not detected automatically, you need to turn on your phone and then unlock it. Then see if drivers are found or not!
If the windows give you the error like undetectable device attached, go to my computers and then properties and the device manager and look for any device with an exclamation mark (yellow).
click on it and then select update drivers and use drivers that have been attached in the first post. (Remember to extract the attachment in a folder)
Then click on select drivers from hard drive (click manual installation of drivers )
and locate the folder where you have extracted drivers. This will install drivers!
if you want drivers for flashmode/fastboot, turn off phone and boot into flashmode and then install drivers as I mentioned above.
I'm quite certain they wouldn't trouble you at all. If you still need help, do not hesitate to ask !
Good luck
P.S: You will need to enable developers option and select USB debugging to root your device. I hope you are doing that right !

you must boot your phone in fast boot mode. turn off your phone and hold down volume down when you connect it to the PC!
Use flashtool to flash ftf file. you'll need to place ftf file in C:/flashtool/firmwares
then select the right file for xperia L and just flash ftf.
in flash tool , select flash n then fastboot and then I'll ask you to put your phone in fast boot (use method mentioned above)
good luck !
I have tried all your methods
but I keep getting this error message "An error occurred during the installation of the device"
I am using windows xp sp3
please help
