[Q] Hacking the Toshiba Excite - General Questions and Answers

Unfortunately, there is no sub forum for this device yet so I'm putting it in general. I apologize if this is incorrect.
What (if any) information has anyone found out with with the Toshiba Excite? I've been searching many different forums and so far this is the only helpful piece I found from the Toshiba forums
I ordered an Excite as soon as it is available in the US market. As soon as I unboxed it, my first set was to enable the USB development option and plugged it into the computer. As usual, The ADB device drivers are not released by Toshiba. So I tried to use the same trick I used with THRiVE with stock ADB drivers.
Windows recognized the device but ADB doesn't. Isn't it wonderful? Since then I have been trying to access ADB using the EXCiTE without any success. What is it with Toshiba and ADB Drivers? I talked to the Customer Support and they acted like they had no clue about ADB drivers. So as a developer, the EXCiTE is a was of money.
It would have been salvageable even if Toshiba provided an option to enable ADB via TCP/IP which is trivial to Toshiba and will free them forever from providing a USB driver. But no luck.
So let me say this upfront. If I wanted a tablet that I could not develop Apps for, I would have purchased an iPad as without ADB both are equally useless to an Android Dev.

The Excite has a micro SD card reader and a micro USB built in. This is what I required for my ultimate goal.... I would like to unlock the bootloader and install Windows 8 onto a micro SD card. Then whenever I have the Windows 8 micro SD card inserted into the tablet, the tablet will boot from that first.
The hardware should be able to support it, but software wise will it be able to? If so, how would I get started?

Update from forums.toshiba
hi guys,
i just acheived adb connection to excite. It is not via usb but i can still work with it so i am not worried.
I found out that the adb works without any issues in the linux environment. So, i followed the steps outlined below,
1) enable usb development on excite.
2) plug it into a linux machine with adb working
3) run adb devices
4) we can see the excite listed
5) i executed 'adb tcpip xxxx'. Now the adb in excite is set to run via tcpip
6) now from the development machine execute 'adb connect yyyy:xxxx', where yyyy is the ip address of your excite and xxxx is the port you picked in previous address.
7) voila! Now you have adb working from you windows pc
i hope this helps folks with windows adb
cheers,
windozer

UPDATE (April 4th)
I messaged a Toshiba tech asking if Toshiba planned on releasing tools to unlock the bootloader. He said that he hadn't heard anything. I asked if he would be able to find out for me and this was his response
I can't talk about things that haven't been announced. I know that seems obvious for things like full products or major updates, but I'm not even allowed to comment on new tablet cases if they weren't released yet. It's even more strict with software updates!

You can install the Drivers from here:
http//)singledrivers.blogspot.pt/2014/01/toshiba-excite-pro-usb-driver-for.html
http//)support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=4001725
I installed them on my Windows XP SP3, and it worked for me!!
Follow the instructions carefully of the 1st site... since the drivers need to be manually installed.
Following the XP instructions...
If you want MTP connection, between step 6 and step 7 you have to select "MTP Device" interface (even if it's not certified!).
If you want ADB connection, between step 6 and step 7 you have to select "ADB Composite..." interface (even if it's not certified!).
NOTE: if you choose ADB simple interface it will not work, and you will have no ADB connection. it has to be the ADB Composite interface!
For some whatever reason I couldn't get them to work simoultaneously, only one at the time... so everytime I wanted to switch from MTP connection to ADB connection (and vice-versa), I had to reassign/reinstall the drivers again on Device Manager...

[Q] TF101 usb dosent't get connected to linux and windows...

Ok,
I'm not new here but Im new with a TF101...
I have 3 rooted devices at home.
Now when I plug the TF that I bought used, it dosent get detected. I mean at all!
Not "!" yellow in windows and nothing it linux, no noise nothing.
I have usb dev checked...
Now, do I need usb 3.0 to just get it detected and root it using xp or linux???

Any way to root without computer?
I've been having the exact same problem for a few months now , I reckon i either have a faulty usb cable or the port has been damaged . I hope there's a software fix for this .

Ok and whant have you done to fix it?
New usb cable?
I've not managed to fix it yet . When i plug my TF into my pc it seems to think its charging but the pc doesn't register it at all , if i get a new usb cable and it works i'll report back .
Well does anyone know if this is a problem with the cable or not ?

I have the same problem. I sent my tf101 to the Asus service center to have it repaired. When it came back it would connect to the PC. After a few months it would not connect. Same problem. It appears to me to be software related somehow. In my case the cable has nothing to do with it. None of the suggestions on this or other forums work. Asus does not respond. Maybe Jelly Bean will fix it. Or maybe not.
are you able to ./adb connect to the asus via usb? if so then that will tell you that the problem is not the cable, it's not the usb version, it's not the device hardware. its likely a driver install issue in windows. i would boot into android and make sure that android debugging is selected in the developer settings menu. then try an adb connection. im not sure about how to install all the stupid drivers in windows because i do everything in linux and its soooooo much simpler.
f it is in fact the hardware cable or port that is not working properly then you can always move files to and from the device over wlan connection, with either adb tcp connection, or using some file manager such as es file explorer. just remember as long as you can get an
./adb connection to your android then anything is fixable. ADB IS YOUR FRIEND. get to know it well.
same problem here...tried everything except format the pc (running windows 7)
I have a simple question for the people WITHOUT problem connecting tf101: when you connect the tablet (mtp or not) what do you see on the screen of the pc? something related to autoplay? Are you able to copy, move files to and from the tf101 like a usb stick?

I dont ever connect my devices as mass storage to he computers at all. i just do everything via ./adb usb or ./adb tcp connections over wifi. or i use es file explorer setup as an ftp server on my devices and move files around that way if i need to. but i went ahead and pulled out my windows asus tf101 drivers and sync app and linked them for you at the bottom. my advice really is to lose windows and stick with doing everything on android with linux. soooo much better.

thank you for your long reply! and obv for the files, I'll give it a try!
I admit that sometimes I used swiftp (over wifi) but every time I have to disconnect pc & tablet from the modem...Sometimes use bluetooth but it's too too slow!!! thank you again!!!
I understand but how do you root using adb tcp???

when I rooted moths ago I used "razorclaw" (and my tf101 is a b70). I use adb with other devices and is very cool but I never need to use with the tf101...

ok so adb over a tcp connection it works pretty much like adb over usb except your connection is done over the network. so lets say your tf101 and your computer are both on the same WLAN. you can enable enable adb over tcp and connect to it with the computer over the network. however to enable adb tcp connections you need to already have root.

I have both Linux and Windows systems. My TF101 does not connect on either machine. My assumption is I have a internal problem. I have tried two different cables and systems. I need to ROOT the TF101 and upgrade to Jelly Bean. From this post I am told to use ./adb commands over tcp and I appreciate that, but I need to have a rooted TF101.
The ultimate question is can I root the TF101 without using the usb connector? I suspect not, but will defer to the expert developers.
I have tried with settings in various selections like MTP "yes" or "no", Developer USB "yes" or "no" or both on or off at the same time. I have loaded and unloaded Windows Asus Sync and USB drivers many times.
The strange thing is if I am attached to the keyboard, I can see any USB thumb drives attached to the keyboard including my USB serial adapter. I would think USB would not work if the cable does not work. Also if anyone has a link to instructions for loading ADB on Linux Mint 13 64bit, I would appreciate the link.
Thank you in advance.
beware of usb cable
Hi,I personnally own a TF101 sb50.
I had some trouble with usb. Tha cable was ok for charging but didn t register correctly under an usb connection ( it showed up and got kicked out in windows didn t register in lsusb on linux)
If you check the diagram for the cable, it s well endowed there 's resistance inside the cable, and multiple connection.
Depending on your version it doesn t use the same pin, even if it's the same cable.
You can buy a cable on ebay for around 10 euro in europe ( i did it s ok) or buy it cheaper from china(no idea about quality).
to sum it up even if your cable work with another TF, it doesn t mean your cable is not faulty ( i have bounce a nano osci on the faulty cable , and it showed no apparent flaw.) and buying a new one was the solution for me.
good luck for rooting (sb50 :: no need to adb)
The ADB thru WiFi solution worked perfectly for me thankfully, and I am one of the many others who have been having major trouble getting Windows and Linux to recognize the Intercept.
Not sure if this is a duplicate post somewhere, but here's my version using Linux:
1. Go to the Play Store and download the 'ADB over Wifi Widget' app.
2. After installed on your device, the app should be on your home screen. Tap it once to toggle on. You should see an IP address and a port #.
Note the IP address, as this is the address of your device.
3. Open a terminal in Linux.
4. CD to the folder that contains your ADB files. (example: cd /androidsdk/platform-tools)
5. Enter the following code:
chmod 755 ./adb
./adb connect <enter IP address here without brackets of course>
6. You should now be connected to your phone.
Hope this helps...

ok when you say that the tf101 doesnt connect in either your windows or linux machine, what do you mean exactly? you mean it doesnt show up as a mass storage device or an MTP device? and have you downloaded and installed the android-sdk in linux? and when you connect the tf101 to your linux machine, do yo uhave usb debugging enabled in the developer settings menu, and are you using the "./adb devices" command in the linux terminal from your /android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory?
also you should be able to flash a custom recovery which will enable you to flash custom rom without using the usb cable. theres a couple files that you need to put on your tf101 in the /sdcard/ directory first.
one is the recovery blob and if you want to keep the stock rom and kernel but just root it then youll need the superuser zip i have included both of them at the bottom.
for starters you need to install a terminal emulator app on the tf101 from the play store.
then once you have the recovery blob on your device in /sdcard/ you can continue. (remember /sdcard/ is the internal memory not the micro sd card)
start the terminal emulator on the tf101 and enter these commands.
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
exit
(open another terminal window on the tf101 and enter these commands)
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
(now reboot the tf101 when it boots into android start the terminal emulator app again then enter these comands)
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit
(now you should have a team rogue recovery flashed to your tf101)
reboot your tf101.
now you can hold the vol -down button while you power on the tf101 you will see a message at the top of the screen that says soomething like "Checking for RCK" when you see that press the vol- up button right away, this should boot you into the team rogue recovery where you can flash custom roms or just flash your superuser.zip to get root.
hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it works for you.
remember you have to extract the recoveryblob from the zip folder before you move it to the /sdcard/ on your asus. the superuser.zip can remain zipped though.
I had the same problem:
windows will not notice my transformer (rooted).
( usb debugging is on, android 4.0.3 with Android Revolution HD 3.5.1.)
i know in the past it works.
adb list ( of devices) ist empty also. Same Problem with the two cables i have.
can you give me a help what i can do?
Sorry for my poor english

APX Install for TF700 in Windows: step-by-step how-to (or: the way it worked for me)

I found a way to install APX drivers in PC for TF700. As everbody, or almost everbody knows, these drivers are absolutely vital for the ones that want to run NVFlash to secure their TF700 in the best way against an eventual brick. As I experienced—and I know I am not the only—this adventure of APX drivers install causes a lot of trouble to people trying to figure out where are the drivers and how the install should be done.
Days ago, I posted these step-by-step instructions as a reply of a message about APX drivers. I am now posting it again at a separate topic, as this can be easier to find. The thing is that there's some "tricks" and "pitfalls" to the newbies like me when they try to install that Asus USB drivers. At first I couldn't install, I even thougt that they were not compatible with my Windows (I use Vista 32, that is famous as being really a ***** when comes up to install things). So, for ADB, in that moment I just gave up from Asus Android USB Drivers and installed Asus Pad PC Suite, that included ADB drivers, but apparently no APX. At that moment, when I was only looking for ADB, worked. But later, trying APX, I got really stucked. Just found the solution many sleepless nights later.
Please just notice that I am not an expert in anything: just a cat-crazy lady that works as text revisor and does patchwork quilts and amigurumi dolls at the free time. So, I'm afraid I can't help much on the technical side if any doubt appear (unless your doubt is about feeding an elder toothless cat with a bird syringe, syntax of verbs in Portuguese or about brands of wool and thimbles). Also can't assure this method will work for everyone.
Anyway, I'll be glad to help with the few I know. I hope these instructions can be of any use and save people from stress. Best wishes and happy APX'ing.
********************HOW TO INSTALL APX FOR TF700 IN WINDOWS************************
***One important warning I give to the stucked TF700 owners that are searching for APX drivers: DO NOT TRY TO USE UNIVERSAL NAKED DRIVERS! They will not work! Universal Naked Drivers are great, but made for TF101, Prime, Nexus, etc, etc, NOT for TF700 Infinity! So, any attempt to use that drivers, at the moment (March 2014) will give you nothing more than a last-longing splitting headache.
Use the pack from Asus: "Asus Android USB Drivers", download the pack from Asus website (go there, is one of the few downloads for Windows available for TF700)***
I'll just enumerate what I did and what I paid attention as necessary steps to install APX drivers for TF700 in Windows. If someone wants to give a try and follow them, there's the description.
1) Your device must be with the USB Debugging Mode enabled. This is found under Developer Options (enable it if Developer Options doesn't show by tapping 7 times the build number, under Settings/About).
2) Asus drivers dislike Windows auto-install. When we plug our device in USB (just normally, Android running), he is recognized and Windows auto-install prompts a message offering to locate and install drivers. IGNORE IT, SKIP IT. Just tell windows that will install later (there's an option for that, at least in Vista 32).
3) Then go to Control Panel, and choose "System". There, choose "Device Manager". There, look for something Asus, if you don't have previously installed any (if you have, uninstall it first, reboot the PC, then plug the tablet via USB). If you haven't installed anything and your tablet is connected, will appear something like "Asus ADB Interface", marked as not working by Windows.
4) Then, right-click over it and ask for "Update Driver". It will open a new prompt asking if you want Windows to search it automatically or if you want to search driver files manually from other sources. Say you want to search it manually. After, say you want to choose from drivers list (bottom option) and then say "Have Disk". And then direct Windows to search the driver in the directory where "Asus Android USB Drivers for Windows" are (uncompressed directory, please). The drivers file is the "android_winsub.inf", under the sub-directory "Android". Choose the file and proceed the installing.
5) This should install ADB. But, wait: the problem is the APX, not the ADB, right??? So, what does all this is for?
6) Now the magic (or, what so magically happened to me): reboot the tablet into APX Mode (power+volume up). And then another window of APX auto-install will pop. IGNORE IT.
7) Again, go to System/Device Manager. APX should appear there as "Asus Transformer Infinity APX Interface" or something fancy alike (if appear only "APX", something gone wrong and the installation already failed, at least here was this way). Is also marked as not working by Windows. You should again right-click and choose "Update Driver"
8) Repeat the process, if necessary direct Windows to the directory where the android_winsub.inf is (the one that was into the Asus Android USB Drivers pack). From this point my Windows installed automatically some parts, but, as I could notice, installed the driver from that same file of before.
This installed APX for me, and I could run wheelie and NVFlash!
So, I honestly hope this helps. I know it arrives too late for many, but still if can help somebody at least a little bit, I'll be happy.
Hello drhode, are you sure Universal Naked Drivers do not work? I remember very clearly that I used Universal Naked Drivers to run NVFlash and wheelie worked fine a few months ago. In fact, the guide for Flatline actually includes a link to a set of Universal Naked Driver 0.72, and I am very sure that I used that to get APX Driver.

There seem to be different versions of this driver pack in circulation. To see whether it works with the TF700, look into the .inf files for USB vendor and product IDs and compare with my udev rules for Linux. The vendor and product IDs are the same for Windows, and they should appear somewhere in the .inf file (for wheelie, at least the one for APX):
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c90", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # MTP (normal)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c91", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # MTP + USB Debugging (adb)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c92", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # RNDIS
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c93", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # RNDIS + USB Debugging
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c94", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # PTP
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c95", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # PTP + USB Debugging
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4daf", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Fastboot
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7030", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Tegra APX
@drhode Can you please post the link where you found the drivers? Have been searching the Asus download site high and low and don't see them. Only found a zip on XDA and that only seems to have the ADB dirver.

So when I did the original unlock, root and flash of the CROMBi kit Kit ROM a short while ago, I followed all the instructions for it in the forum. Does this mean that I still need to install the APX drivers? IF I don't what am I missing?

Sorry by the delay, I'm back (got sick these days)
Hi, people: sorry for the delay. I got really sick these days (I am under treatment right now, getting better, enjoying the lovely painkillers to get a fine time to answer here. Perhaps the last exhibition of patchwork and quilting has been much of excitement to me ***the troubles of being an old lady, that's it...XDDD ***)
About Universal Naked Drivers: by some time it WERE some versions available, and one of them patched for TF700T. Thing is, that patched version is not available anymore: at NVFlash page of Android. Mobi team, the link leads nowhere. I don't know if there was some sort of unstability of sorts, but the truth is that version is not available anymore, at least I could not find it.
About Asus Android USB Drivers: besides I remember have taken the pack from Asus site, just checked it and there's nothing there now. I don't know if Asus pulled it to force us to use the Asus PC Suite instead or if I was just mistaken, but I found nothing this time.
BUT, THERE'S HOPE! And coming right here from XDA. I found a working link at this site to Asus Anroid USB Drivers zip pack. I downloaded now with XDA link and the file is of the same size of that I have, so I figure out that is the same.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1245225&d=1344272324
I am at the tablet, comparing the file of the link with one in my tools memory card, but I'll check tomorrow/today if the files are really the same in my PC (need enjoy the painkillers to sleep too, so now I'll take a nap). If they are the same, I'll update my message with XDA link. If perhaps they are not the same, I'll upload the pack I have (and that's work) somewhere and post the link here.
And about APX...It's necessary to run NVFlash and wheelie, that grant a more trustworthy security to TF700T tablets ( these are for recovering the tablet after a softbrick). Install ROM, unlock, root, etc, is not done using APX, but the best recovery afer some tragedy, surely it is.
Again, friends, sorry about the delay in replying, I was needing some meds and rest. Best wishes to everbody.

Hi, people: sorry for the delay. I got really sick these days (I am under treatment right now, getting better, enjoying the lovely painkillers to get a fine time to answer here. Perhaps the last exhibition of patchwork and quilting has been much of excitement to me ***the troubles of being an old lady, that's it...XDDD ***)
About Universal Naked Drivers: by some time it WERE some versions available, and one of them patched for TF700T. Thing is, that patched version is not available anymore: at NVFlash page of Android. Mobi team, the link leads nowhere. I don't know if there was some sort of unstability of sorts, but the truth is that version is not available anymore, at least I could not find it.
About Asus Android USB Drivers: besides I remember have taken the pack from Asus site, just checked it and there's nothing there now. I don't know if Asus pulled it to force us to use the Asus PC Suite instead or if I was just mistaken, but I found nothing this time.
BUT, THERE'S HOPE! And coming right here from XDA. I found a working link at this site to Asus Anroid USB Drivers zip pack. I downloaded now with XDA link and the file is of the same size of that I have, so I figure out that is the same.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1245225&d=1344272324

There are two drivers for the tf700. The portable driver is for fastboot and adb. The second driver is for andriod usb which is for apx.. You can find the apx driver on the sdk website...
@drhode
I hope that you are getting better soon and wish everything going well for you...

What is a portable driver????
And where have you been the last week or so? We're still testing f2fs and you're on to the next trick already? Bionic???
Good to see you

When you plug in your tf700, win recognizes it as a portable device so you can communicate with it. As the same time, there is an android driver that you can can configure for apx mode. Otherwise, you have to manually cofigure to apx when you want to use it... I believed that @drhode is trying to explain in her post...
My f2fs is still running great and looking for new stuff to play around with but it is not as convience as before because I can not test them without the tf700 next to me...
I think I'm more confused now than I was before I read this thread. I've checked every version of UND drivers I could find and none had the ids _that posted. None of the patched drivers seem to exist anymore. I'm hoping someone could be more specific about manually configuring the above linked drivers for apx mode in Windows. Failing that would it be possible/advisable to generate the NVFlash files using a Linux live usb key? I've been reading up on Linux for the past year but have yet to actually do anything with it. Many thanks to anybody taking the time.

I just want to share my experience with apx driver.
I was able to install apx driver when I boot into flatline's recovery first, and then install UDN 0.72 driver in windows.
I had trouble when I was following flatline's method for pulling blobs files with adb commands (no devices found).
My Asus Android USB Drivers didn't install apx driver for windows, so I used UDN 0.72 driver from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
The zip file should contains "android_apxusb.inf". Open that file, the you should see similar text of what _that posted
" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7030", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Tegra APX "
From the file ->
" Asus Transformer Prime TF201 APX & ADB Interface
%AsusTransformerPrimeAPXInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7330 "
Follow OP drhode's unistall driver instruction for a clean start over (usb debug mode on).
"control panel -> device manager->asus android devices->right click on asus android....->uninstall->
a window prompt of unistall confimation, check the box of delete this device's driver->ok->
after unistalled, unplug tf700 usb connection to pc, restart windows.
after windows restart, Plug in normal booted tf700 and update the driver(either *.inf from UDN 0.72 or Asus Android USB Drivers)
Guide for win7 driver update
You can turn off driver signature check during the installation just incase some weird driver situation
Open cmd.exe type " bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON " and restart windows.
Reboot tf700 into flatline's recovery. If yellow ! appears in control panel, then update the driver again( w/*.inf from UDN 0.72 choose Prime).
Just restart windows after every driver install/uninstall.
It is just a regular driver update/install, nothing more special about it.
Btw, I'm using Win 7 64bit, so I'm not sure if that's the same instruction for windows 8.
I hope you can get it to work soon.

Adb devices show blank after Twrp wipe

I am actually following the steps from the pwnieexpress guide to build my own pwn phone, in an attempt to build my own pwn phone. With no malicious intent, I'm trying to build up my pentest skills on the go.
I'm currently on Windows 7 using the android sdk. Fastboot devices manage to return my device but on step 13, my adb devices shows blank in the list of devices.
When I plugged in my wiped out nexus 5, device manager shows the Google nexus adb driver, but I cannot seem to get the adb devices to show my device.
I tried restarting the adb server and reconnecting my device to multiple USB ports but doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas? I've yet to try on a different machine, but could it be a problem with the ports?
Looking forward for any help available.
Don't slam me for asking the obvious, but do you have USB debugging ticked on in the os settings? You may have to go through an update of the android composite adb interface drivers via device manager. Just choose to browse computer, pick from a list, then run the update on each item listed. This doesn't install anything new but does seem to reset drivers. Beyond that, can't help.

Fixed. Seem to be a problem with the usb drives on my home PC, it failed to detect the device during adb devices. Weird, as fastboot seemed to work out well.
I basically installed the drivers in another machine and adb devices and adb push .. /sdcard/ worked just fine.
Thanks!

Seicane 9 All-In-One Android 10 GPS Navigation system

So i just recently purchased a car and inside it has an after market tablet with android auto installed. The guy that previously had the car set it up and none of it is updated i was wanting to start fresh since all his info is still in it. " Songs, videos and such ". I have never installed a rom / mod for android auto i know this is the device that is in the car: Seicane 9 inch All in one
This device has a steering wheel control which i dont want to lose that feature as it is very convenient. I do not know where to start for this model of android auto. I dont have a rooted Cell phone and i don't want to root it.
Please guide me in what i should do im pretty tech savvy just dont know where to begin on the forums.
Hint: Add Seicane 9 All-In-One Android 10 GPS Navigation system to front of this thread's title thus mainly owners of such device get addressed.
The device has an USB port. Check out whether you can access device's Android via USB cable by means of ADB or not. This requires in device's Android -> Settings -> Developer optins "USB Debugging" must got enabled before.
If not done yet, install ADB on your Windows computer: See my signature for the link to its installer.
You connect Windows computer with device and run on Windows command prompt
Code:
adb devices

Really need some help installing ADB drivers on Windows 7

I'm really having a hard time getting ADB drivers to work on Windows 7 so that I can connect my Android phone to my computer to run some ADB commands. I've tried three different packages; I guess the latest ADB MSI installer and another couple various packages. And I can't get any devices to show up when I type ADB devices. I need something simple if somebody can help treat me like a newbie although I have some experience with Linux and the command prompt but I really need something dead simple that will just install ADB on my computer so I can run a command on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While plenty of people know adb better than I do, I can try to help you where we need to start at the beginning I think, which is to state that there is nothing to "install" on either Android or Windows, other than the one adb.exe executable on Windows.
However, you do need to enable a few options in Android settings.
With that, you can get Windows to talk to Android over adb as shown in my screenshots below, whether over USB or completely over Wi-Fi.
My first question to you to help you is to ask a basic question.
Q: Did you turn on USB debugging in Developer options?
A: ?​
Yes I have us debugging on on my Android phone. I've installed USB drivers before on an older phone to allow me to use my Android phone for an internet connection on my PC and it was pretty simple and word flawlessly.
