Pdanet, a tethering tool which allows you to connect your PC/laptop to internet using your Android smartphone, also specialises in something else: You can install the drivers for any Android device using the PC end of Pdanet. While most of the popular devices come with official drivers or are easily available on the internet, some of the cheper and less popular models, like the ones sold by local Indian manufacturers, don't have any official drivers, so it's really a pain to find drivers for them.

Pdanet comes to the rescue here. I have tried it with a plethora of devices :fingers-crossed:, and it installs drivers for all of them. I have written a full fledged guide, targeted especially at newbies, to help everyone install drivers for their device and proceed with rooting/ using ADB or fastboot. I have even included snapshots to help you get through the process swiftly.
THe process is quite easy. I'm posting a summary here:
Download and install pdanet on your pc. It is available here: http://www.junefabrics.com
During the installation process, select device manufacturer accordingly.
Attach the device to your pc using usb only when the setup asks you to do so.
That's it.
Don't forget to exit pdanet before trying to connect to adb etc.
Here is the guide: http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/how-to-install-drivers-for-any-android.html
These days, during the process of rooting, installing the drivers is one of the toughest steps for many, as one click root tools are available on xda, once drivers are installed successfully.

HELP!
I tried rooting my Lenovo A1000-F --- followed the instructions, installed PDANet and ran Kingo, which said the root was complete. When I clicked FINISH the screen on the tab went blank and now I can't get anything!
Here's what I'm seeing after plugging the USB back into the tab, which I hope isn't bricked.

I've troubleshooted a lot of things on my Vibrant since 2010, but for some reason I couldn't get it right on the GS4G (and it's embarrassing). I'm not new to Odin, but I get the phone ---- ! ---- pc screen whenever I try to connect to my computer. Yes, I understand that it's another way of the phone being in download mode, but the other variables involved make it difficult to start from scratch again. Here's a list of what I've checked so far:
- 64-bit drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G#FAQ_.28with_answers.29 have been installed/reinstalled multiple times, and the computer (64-bit Windows 7) has been rebooted to make sure
- the computer will not recognize the device no matter what I do; all Odin attempts using files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 have had no effect
- attempts to connect to Odin and have it recognize the phone by showing the yellow COM have ended in vain
- yes, the phone in question is a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the previous ROM on it was Black Valhalla
Another checklist I constantly read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22234345&postcount=63 . It's basically a repeat of what I've done above. I'm just showing what I've read on how to fix this problem.
I can't even get the one-click program to recognize the phone because of some USB issue. The USB ports are seen fine by the Vibrant in download mode, so it shouldn't be any different for the GS4G. I've used all of the USB ports on this laptop and nothing works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried thoroughly uninstalling all drivers including for the vibrant and restarting your laptop?

Yup, that's what I meant by installing/reinstalling. Sorry for being a bit vague.
I was really thorough with the USB drivers.

Remove them all again. Try the Heimdall One-Click guide in the second link of my signature.
In the notes I link a utility called USBDeview. Use it to double check you have all android and samsung related drivers removed. Make sure you also go into your traditional uninstall programs on your laptop and uninstall samsung drivers from there. Heimdall One-Click has drivers and everything else you need within the program.

I'm getting this whenever I try to connect. All Android and Samsung-related drivers are removed already, even more thoroughly with the utility program.

Edit: I don't see USB Receiver (Interface 0). http://i50.tinypic.com/34ioirr.jpg
Is there something else I should do with these available options? The computer seems to recognize the phone now.
Edit 2: For some odd reason, Odin recognizes the phone before the drivers from the One-Click were installed. I just finished using Odin to go back to stock since the One-Click program wasn't showing the USB Receiver (Interface 0) I was looking for. Before I decided to close everything, I wanted to see what Odin thought. I assume the root of this whole problem was really the USB drivers that I couldn't get rid of without the utility program. Thanks for your help!
I never thought that annoying T-Mobile startup sound would sound so glorious.
Glad you got it.
If you do flash to the "homebrew" ICS ROMs, you'll need the Google USB drivers from the SDK; the Samsung ones won't recognize the phone.
(This applies to Windows only)

Its very important to check usb debugging
Before anything make sure that all LG Drivers and everything Installed and run under Windows 7 if you run Windows 8 you should to disable driver signature enforcement windows 8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337545
or Such as drastic00 Check step 1 and if you have Windows 8 check that also
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
lg debugging is checked, unkown sources also. drastic00 answer helped. Thank you. But still in device manager there is (!) next to android composite ADB interface. What can I do about that?
I never noticed that and don't know what it is. As long as you have the other 3 drivers you should be good for using LG Flash Tool, Fastboot or whatever software for flashing .bin, .fls, .kdz and recoveries. I have not used LG Update tool in a while. When LG released their official ICS it was bricking some devices; seems it is not very reliable.
you should run under Windows 7 as administrator

I've been trying to root for ages, but no matter what I do I can't get ADB to recognize my device. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from I don't know how many sources as well as adb/fastboot several times, but I always get the same result:

Honestly you don't need adb portion working to do this. Have you tried seeing if your computer recognizes your opo in fastboot mode?
Turn your phone off hold volume up and power button it will boot into fastboot. Then plug your phone into your computer let it install drivers then open command prompt where your fastboot file is and type fastboot devices if it shows something your good to go follow the rest of the guide unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery and SuperSU to root.
Also if its me I would install twrp recovery.
you sure you got the right drivers?
@Seleuco try this tutorial and also check Y for install adb drivers

You need to install divers first, look at your screenshot, you have no driver installed for adb device.

Did you also tried to install the driver manually in device manager?
See this link how you can do that:
http://www.technobuzz.net/install-nexus-5-driver-adb-fastboot-unlock-bootloader/
If these drivers don't work and or can't install then just extract Snoop05's adb installer and use those drivers :good: hope this would work now,
the issue is probably that there are so many drivers installed that they are conflicting with each other and windows is just deciding which one is better, so manually overriding it should fix it and else I guess you have to remove the old adb drivers with an program but first try these easy methods
Guys I am getting desperate here. I hate crying in the forums for help, but that's why they are here. I am sorry but here I am to whine about the problem that I am facing whole day.
I tried with OP, Samsung, Xiaomi, Google USB drivers. Nothing so far works. I tried many options but I can' make the Windows to recognize the phone after getting into BL. Windows 11, tried all my USB ports (I have only 3), no success. Pushed even Googles driver files manualy from the Device manager and I chose the BL option of the driver, that didn't work, then I tried the rest of the 3 options of the driver, that didn't work either.
I followed this metod as well - https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-fastboot-drivers-in-windows-11/
The only thing that has left as an option is the lack of USB 2.0. If this is the problem I am gonna throw up...
Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated.

i could be way off base here but your in fastboot so the CMD should be "fastboot devices". Your screen looks no dif then mine
Are the drivers installed correctly, ie with admin rights, and if so, is the help in the link that works, but requires more time and effort. With that guide, I will install the win 11 and win 10 drivers myself.
How to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8 or 10 (So That You Can Install Unsigned Drivers)
64-bit versions of Windows 10 and 8 include a “driver signature enforcement” feature. They’ll only load drivers that have been signed by Microsoft. To install less-than-official drivers, old unsigned drivers, or drivers you’re developing yourself, you’ll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
