Hi all,
Hoping there is someone out there which can help, I am trying to find the usb driver for the Nexus S so I can use the SDK on this device.
I can't seem to find the drivers for it.. would be greatly appreciated if someone knows where i can find it.
I have the 4th revision installed on the SDK.
Thanks,
Scott
It should be located in
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
Edit the path according to where you install the SDK in.
Just done that and the driver installs fine, so thanks for that... when i go back into sdk it shows revison 4 as not being installed.. even though i have tried three times and each time it says it has installed.. is it worth re-downloading the Android SDK?
You can try if you want to
think i will

Hi,
My name is Joe aka AndroidSamurai.. I will be releasing more guides and media content in the weeks to come.
I'm currently very busy with "life events(new baby)" and apologize for my absence.
I will be updating this post since it was my original with a new guide updated to new SDK and Android methods.
Thanks again,

What do i do if the new hardware device notification doesnt pop-up ? NM i got it. Thanks for the writeup
@King_tee: Assuming windows, you follow the following steps.
1. Start > Control Panel > System.
2. Hardware > Device Manager
3. Click on the last icon below the File menu. It should correspond to "Scan for Hardware Changes."
If that doesn't work, try unplugging / replugging USB cable, different USB cable, restarting phone, restarting computer, etc.
If you never see the notification, navigate to the Device Manager(inside "System" in the control panel in XP and inside Device Manager on Vista).
You will see ADB Android Device at the top of the list with a Yellow Icon beside it meaning the device is not working. Right-click on the device and select "Update Driver".
Follow the dialogs that pop-up and navigate to where the unzipped drivers are at...
You should be good to go from there...
ok, i need some help please... I downloaded the SDK and followed the instruction in this thread, but when i try to update my driver for the phone, it says the driver is not compatible with my phone.. I am using Haykuro's ROM 4.5 with FW 1.5.. would that be the reason for this issue?

you may need to uninstall the current driver for your phone if you have mounted it before downloading the SDK. if you don't have the SDK setup the first time you plug the phone in then your computer will auto-update the driver to a regular UMS driver and it won't help you when you try adb. i forget how to uninstall your current driver since i don't use windows, but i'm sure you can find a nice crash course online

I dont know if thats the problem because when i plug it in, it doesnt show up as a notification, and when i go to the device manager it shows the little yellow triangle.. I'll look again. Thanks for the quick reply though. I am no expert in linux, but i have it installed, let me see if i can figure it out there..

Found through Google...imagine that.
as well as what xyrcncp said can you you can download it and just mv ~/Desktop/sdk/tools/adb /usr/bin/adb abd you should be able to run the adb commands from any directory. not too hard to cd to the correct directory but i personally don't like to type cd ~/Phone/tools/android-sdk/tools every time cause i tend to make typographical errors. let me know how it worked but you shouldn't have any problems at all
umm no offense but your writing a tutorial for people that are not sure on how to do this, so you must assume that they do not know how to run an executable file...... write yourself a better tutorial without actually bashing the self esteem of some people... tutorials are positive not negative. I already know all of this but still... dont degrade someone due to the fact they dont know how, thats the whole point of writing your tutorial. Nothing should have been left out (including how to run a .exe .com or .bat
" (If you do not know how to install a windows executable file, please kill yourself now! ) "
this isnt honestly written with any hatred towards you, it was a good tutorial. Just might want to think about how you write it next time.
The "bashing" comments in my tutorial are directed towards the people with a true sense of humor. My tutorial was written to tell you how to simply complete a task and not to make you feel better about yourself. I do not get pleasure in abusing people's self esteem nor do I enjoy putting people down.
Just because you got a little sand in your crack does not mean you need to come in a very honest and informative thread and start bashing the people who are bending over backwards to help everyone out.
The reason I created this "tutorial" in the first place was because all the other threads are full of "start searching and stop asking so many damn questions" comments.
So start looking in the mirror when you wake up in the morning and stop saying "My, I think I will run over to good ole' XDA and be an @$$ to everyone today".
I am sincerely sorry that a little sense of humor has caused so much hatred in my thread. Please contact the forum moderators and see if the think my tutorial is so hateful.
lol i dont see any hatred but anyway when i download the adb driver when extracting it says unknown method
@ Nabzilla1990
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Are you using the built-in Zip tool or 7-zip from the links I provided?
Are you using a 32 or 64-bit OS?
using the same operating system as you 64bit vista ultimate sp1 and using winrar to extract
Try using 7-zip man, I have been using it for 3 yrs now.
Basically what I am saying is that everything in my guide is guaranteed to work.
Just to add, if you take adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory you can run adb from any dos directory prompt.
it worked with 7-zip thank you and also want to add if it doesnt work for some people plug in ur phone and update the usb mass storage with the usb driver from here and it should work i had that problem earlier
Okay, so I did everything and got up to run cmd, when I type in the cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools it says not a specififed folder, but when I type it without the \tools it doesnt work. can anyone help?
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.

when i click next it stops and then this shows up

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
Sent from my Epic that craves frozen yogurt
So I'm attempting to root my Evo Shift.
Before that, I need to download and Install both HTC Sync (Already Installed) and the SDK.
But The SDK won't install after I downloaded it. It says I need the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). I downloaded the JDK off of this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I tried the first one. Same thing, didn't let me install the SDK when I tried again. Then I tried the last one. Same thing again. I already have JRE. I just need the JDK. The JDK got properly installed, but it still didn't let me go through with installed the SDK.
Does anyone know what I can possibly do?
Are there ways around this?
I got enough replies on my post for someone to tell me something.
Someone HAS to know the solution to this problem.
I read that if you just click back and then next again it will work. Tried that and I failed.
SOO many things I have tried.
I went back on the SDK download website and downloaded the .zip file instead of the .exe file. I extracted it but don't know where to go from there.
Is there another where of rooting my phone without SDK?
Bump
ANYONE?!
Hi,
I have tried PDAnet to install driver for my phone. When it got to where it asked me to plug in my phone, i plugged in nothing happen so i had to click on cancel. Then i installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones. After it was installed i went to Devices and My phone showed as Unknown Device. i went in to update driver and there was not ADB device in the selection for me to choose. Please help... thanks..
what OS are you using
the most up to date win7 finds it pretty accurately. If not your BEST bet that i have found is use those sammy drivers, THEN install google android SDK/corresponding JAVA. It sounds like alot but you will get alot more as you fiddle with your phone down the line.
When you get the sdk and java sdk installed you can download googles USB drivers through the sdk list and then you should be able to find the ADB device listing IF your computer doesnt find your phone automatically after that.
Ive done this alot now and have had a different config almost every time.
XP has ALWAYS needed the sdk's to work for me.
I have windows 7 home. I have not update my windows 7 at all. I already got SDK and JDK installed. I checked the google USB driver when i was at the list of things to package to download.

are you letting window just give you the list of drivers or are you browsing for the adb one? windows will initially give you a list of like 20 drivers, then you select "let me pick" or something like that and you go through the list of like 1000 instead.
if your on 7 and have everything installed then maybe you have a bad cable. do you get anything that even loks like your computer is trying to install yoru phone.
It was the cable. Last night i went to Sprint and bought their 20 dollar cable and everything was fixed. Drivers were installed with PDAnet and i already rooted the phone , unlocked bootloader, put on CWR and installed CM9 Thank you for your help.

Doesn't work it says windows can't find driver
Im struggling here the only thing keeping me form fun is some stupid usb drivers nothing wants to work at all.
Phone will mount when on, but when in fastboot mode it makes a dudududu sound and under deivces it says android 1.0 and when i try to update the driver it cant be found online, and when i have the actual driver on computer it still says windows cant find the driver.
Download the adb drivers attached below
Google search for: Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0.msi
Install the Samsung "Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0.msi" drivers and then reboot.
Then plug in your NS4G and let it do it's thing. It will say that it needs a driver. Select no and advanced.
Then go to where you saved the attached file drivers and in the root select it and let is load the Android ADB drivers.
Then reboot.
Then in your device manager you'll see the Android ADB device with a yellow triangle.
Right click and update driver.
Then select the bottom choice so that you can look at all drivers and in the list is the Android ADB.
Select it and next to update the drivers.
Then reboot and you should be good to go.
It took me several hours to figure this out and I used every other method I could find and they did not work, but this did.
This is on Windows XP Pro SP3
If this helps, please hit Thanks!!!
Has anyone figured out how to connect to their Note with ADB yet?
I turned on debugging but the darn thing still doesn't show up in the devices list.
For reference, I'm using the cable that came with the Note and I can transfer files successfully
Have you installed proper drivers or the Android SDK? If you get Android SDK for your pc, make sure open up the manager in there. Then download platform tools and tools. It should give you needed drivers and support for ADB & Fastboot(not sure if Samsung uses it).
Or you might be able to use Odin to do whatever you trying to do with ADB. Not sure though. Depends on what you trying to do.

I'm trying to play with some app deving, I like the logcat tools Eclipse provides.
I'm also trying to play with sqlite,
I updated my SDK to have the ICS and JB API's, I didn't think that ADB would have been significantly different than the honeycomb one I was using with my GB phone. I'll give it another try when I get back to my office on Thursday. I figured either I was doing something wrong, or I had something wrong on my Note when my Prevail works.
Thanks for the help
Well, I updated everything, made sure I have the latest ADB executable and dll's and still can't get it to work.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I can connect to my phone just fine, pull logcats, install test builds of APKs with Eclipse, everything.
My Note just doesn't show in the device list. I've made sure that adbd is a running service on the Note. Should I be using a different cable from the one that came with the system?
In case it matters, the only things I've done are to install CWM recovery and rooted using this method: rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Well, turns out I'm a complete idiot.
It helps to have the latest samsung drivers installed
I had given up on getting it to work, then installed Kies to do an update.....
once it installed new drivers, my Note suddenly started showing up in ADB's device list.
Here I thought I already had the latest drivers
I feel like such an idiot
