[Q] Total Noob in Need of Lots of Help :(

I just got my SNS yesterday and it's my first android phone (was previously using an LG cookie) First thing I did was try to root it, and I seemingly succeeded, or so I thought. It looks like it's rooted and the superuser apps there but I can't install apps using any of the guides I find or even update to 2.3.2 (keep getting and error 7 msg). When I try to install using APKInstaller it tells me it can't find the device, which I think is the problem.
I think the problem is that someway or another windows 7 64 bit stopped recognizing my phone as a Nexus S and now recognizes it as a portable device in device manager (There's also an Android Phone, with an Android Composite ADB interface) I used the SDK to install all the updates available including the google usb driver rev. 4. I tried updating the Portable device driver using the google usb driver but windows keeps it as a WPD Filesystem Volume Driver. Also I noticed when I checked to see if adb gave me a serial number for the phone using the cmd prompt commands in the rooting guides it comes up blank.
I used usbdeview to delete everything seemingly related to Android, but everytime I reconnect the phone it, installs the drivers for the portable device.
I need help to make windows recognize the phone as a nexus s again so I can update and install apps and games etc. If anybody out there can help i'll really appreciate it. Explain the steps to me as if you were talking to a child, leaving nothing out plz. Thanks for any assistance.
I live outside the US (no android market) and would hate to think I messed up and expense phone purchase in just one day

Not quite sure where to start. But my intuition tells me its the Windows 7 64-bit and drivers that's not playing along. You might want to google if other users are having trouble with W7 64-bit with Android drivers. Otherwise, find another computer and repeat the steps. If not, flash a custom ROM to see if that eliminates the problem. You haven't damaged your phone. Don't worry.

just install directly from android market website
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I assume you mean instal the update from the market (which I can't do because I don't have wifi)?
I managed to get the adb to list a device number after I installed java x32 & x64 bit. I still can't install apps or get the update to work, but I'll try unrooting and then rerooting my phone as see how that goes.
Oh, I haven't done the initial sign into gmail thing yet in case that makes any difference
Edit: god I feel stupid. I didn't realize that I had to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1 and then to 2.3.2. I did that an everything upgrade without any problems. Now just got to figure out how to install apk's and I'm golden
Edit 2: Ok, I figured everything out and now i'm up to date with updates and I can install apps and games. Oh Happy Day Thx for all the help

Drivers for Micromax A52!??

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.

[Q] [Help] Connecting with ADB

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

[Q] how to root gingerbread when the usb driver fails to install properly?

hi i have lemon p5 which is gingerbread. i have tried using z4root, pramaroot and gingerbreak but none work. i have not tried rooting through pc because i can't install my device on my pc which is running windows 8 os. i tried to update the drivers marked yellow on the device manager but it could not find the driver. Guys i have been dying to root my phone as my internal memory is running out. please any help will be much appreciated.
if you have the driver i would be overwhelmed if you kindly take the trouble to share it with me. Thank you.

Try this app called Super One Click. It is pretty easy to use and it also downloads the adb drivers for your phone. It can be downloaded as a zip. There is also a demo on Youtube.
