[GUIDE] adb for your gtab (windows)

hello all,
i had some small trouble setting up adb for my viewsonic gtab, so once i figured it out i thought i'd share.
so far, this is confirmed working only on windows 7 32 and 64 bit. vista should be the same, but i'm not sure, i'll keep you posted. EDIT: we've confirmed these steps for at least vista 32 and xp 32-bit. there shouldn't be any differences between the 32 and 64 bit systems as far as the instructions go.
most of my information comes from nvidia's tegra site, here. that's a pretty technical-minded page though, so i wanted to condense it.
make sure usb debugging is turned on for your tablet (settings -> applications -> development -> usb debugging)
1. open your device manager (right click My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager)
if you haven't done anything to set up drivers yet, skip to step 4.
2. find your gtab. depending on your previous attempts, this may be under "Android Phone" at the top (Android ADB Interface, make sure it's your tab and not your phone), or under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" on the bottom (called Android somethingorother. should be at the top of the list.)
3. uninstall it. right click, uninstall. check the box that asks you if you want to delete driver software. i didn't need to use usbdeview to uninstall the drivers, but if you're running into issues on this step try it. usbdeview must be run as administrator, thanks droidjunkie.
it looks like most people should just skip right to usbdeview to uninstall any old drivers. like i said, i didn't have any issues using windows' "delete driver software" option, but apparently i was just lucky. rcgabriel recommends usbdeview, and he knows stuff.
4. unplug, and plug your tablet back in. now your device should be under "Other Devices" near the middle (will have a yellow exclamation icon, called NVIDIA harmony). good.
5. hopefully you have the android sdk installed. if you don't, go find a generic guide on setting up adb and then come back. when you have the sdk installed, you need to run "SDK Setup.exe" from where you installed it and use it to download and install the usb drivers (currently r8).
6. open the "usb_driver" folder in your sdk directory. right click "android_winusb.inf" and open it with notepad or your favorite text editor.
7. under the "[Google.NTx86]" section, paste the following:
Code:
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
save the file and exit.
8. go back into device manager. right click your tablet, select update driver, and click "browse my computer...", then "let me pick...", then "next", then "have disk"
if you're confused on this step, check this post.
9. browse to your android sdk, under the usb_driver folder, and select the "android_winusb.inf" file.
10. of the three choices, the bottom should say "Android Composite ADB Interface". choose it. click next, and allow the driver to install even though you get a big scary red warning.
11. open a command prompt, preferably in the tools directory of your sdk. type the following:
Code:
echo 0x955 > "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
and hit enter. it will just return a new prompt line.
12. test it out.
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
you should see your device's serial number. all is well. congrats.
let me know if i should add or clarify anything here. thanks!

Just in case anyone doesn't know what ADB is:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Thank you so much! Great info!

this is great! thanks for the concise writeup

I had trouble too. I was unable to get uninstall device to work and put the device under Other devices. I was advised to use usbdeview from pershoot. I used this program to remove the device and was able to get it moved to Other devices in Device Manager.
HTH

Thanks for all the tips, everyone, but I've been trying for days to be able to connect my gtab to use as a device for installing/debugging my apps. I too am running Eclipse using the emulators to date.
I've tried the steps outlined by iammuze, as well as others that are slightly varied, but to no avail.
I am running Vista SP2. My Gtab has been rooted, running ClockworkMod, and TnTLite 2.2. I also updated the Google USB package, rev 4 via the SDK/AVD Manager after attempting to use the rev 3 usb package.
Should any of these be reason why I cannot connect my gtab to Eclipse via ADB?
I'm totally frustrated...If anyone has any other suggestions, please forward them on!
Thanks in advance.

THANK YOU!!! after trying many different guides this one worked...other then the fact that I had to right click usbdeview and click "run as administrator" in order to delete the driver it keep installing when i would plug in my tab. I am on windows 7 32 bit, for anyone else having problems getting adb working that is using windows 7.

Thanks
I am finally connected via adb.

I had the same experience on Windows 7 that you are having now. Like you, I tried following all the instructions similar to the ones listed above plus advice from other forums and still could not get it to work. I was finally able to get mine working after I discovered Windows still had some drivers from previous failed attempts stored in its system files. These old drivers were interfering with the proper installation of the new usb driver.
To get rid of the old drivers completely, do a file search for the file named android_winusb.inf in your Windows/System32/DriverStore. If your search results show several file folders with the same driver, try to delete each of the those folders completely. After those folders are deleted, you can do a clean install following iammuze's instructions.
NOTE: To delete those folders you will have to change the folder permissions. It won't be easy to do, because Windows doesn't like having its system files messed with. Unfortunately, I can't give you exact instructions on this, because I don't currently have a Vista machine.

where does your gtab show up under device manager?

Thanks, it worked great! ADB screen shots!
Look at this mess I have crammed onto one page.

[UPDATE: Problem solved: I had two versions of adb in my PATH and the old version (1.0.20) was being executed instead of the new version (1.0.26). Apparently the old adb silently fails and returns no devices when used in conjunction with the current drivers. I worked this out by accident. But if you're looking for ideas, there are lots in the ADB for Dummies thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 ]
Hi All
I've been banging my head against this for hours with no luck. I can't get adb to recognise my gTablet. Here's what I've done:
I'm on WinXP. gTablet is running zTab Clean 3.0
- I've downloaded the latest ADB USB drivers using the Android tools (driver verion 4.0, December 12 2010).
- I've made the modifications to android_winusb.inf noted above.
- USB Debugging is enabled on the gTab
- adb_usb.ini contains a single line containing: 0x955
I've followed various instructions and the driver install ~seems~ to go ok, but adb doesn't work.
Windows Device Manager lists the following devices which are associated with NVIDIA Harmony:
Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface
Universal Serial Bus controllers > USB Composite Device
Universal Serial Bus controllers > USB Mass Storage Device
USBDeview lists three devices:
NVIDIA Harmony NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device
NVIDIA Harmony USB Mass Storage Device
NVIDIA Harmony Android Composite ADB Interface
The first is listed as connected. The others aren't.
When run adb i get this:
> adb kill-server
> adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
No devices are listed.
I have tried many combinations of uninstalling these devices (with Device Manager and with USBDeview). When I reconnect I get prompted to install drivers. I have tried installing at this point, cancelling and then installing in Device Manager, not cancelling so the Plug and Play window stays open and uninstalling with device manager. None of this has worked. Also the device drivers seem to linger on my machine as they seem to auto-reinstall even after I have uninstalled them (I've also tried the suggestion of searching and deleting the .inf and .dlls from C:\Windows -- that didn't work out either).
I have also been careful to make sure adb is not running when I change the drivers. I have tried rebooting the computer and the gTablet after various installs.
The only way I can get the gTablet to appear in "Other devices" is to plug the device in (the PnP window pops up, I leave it open and ignore it). Then I delete the drivers in USBDeview. Then I unplug and replug the gTablet. Now there is one device in "Other devices": NVIDIA Harmony. Problem is, if I right-click "Update driver..." it won't let me install from the Android .inf, it says "The specified location does not provide information about your hardware." and forces me to install "USB Composite device". Once that's installed, two more NVIDIA Harmony devices appear in "Other devices". The first requires me to install "USB Mass Storage Device" (once again won't accept the .inf). The third does allow me to install "Android Composite ADB Interface". That gets me to the point where the drivers are loaded as listed above. But adb still lists no devices.
When I first started trying to set this up I had old drivers for the original HTC android phone installed. I deleted these with USBDeview.
I think that's all the information I have. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I'd love to get this working.
Thanks!

A real plus would be screenshots, I'm getting a little confused at the device manager window, especially the part where it's supposed to give you the option "let me pick" > "have disk" > locate the .inf > choose the last of the three choices
I'm not getting any of those windows/options. Also, when I uninstall it, unplug the gTab, and plug it back in, it just re-installs the default Tegra driver. Any help?
Right now my device is showing up under "Disk Drives" as "NVIDIA Tegra 2 USB Device", and then also under "Portable Devices" as "G:\"
EDIT: Fixed! (Sorta)
I found another forum that told me that in Device Manager, select "Add Legacy Hardware" from the "Action" menu. After going through there, I was able to complete the steps you told me to. If anybody's having the same problem I had before, I am using Windows 7 64-bit, so that may be part of the problem? I'm not sure. But it's installed now and in Device Manager it's under the "Android Phone" section as "Android Composite ADB Interface".
However this raises a new problem, it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark over the icon, and it comes up with the error "Error code 10: Device cannot start".
Any help?

you edited the .inf file to contain the three lines specified, and selected the modified driver when adding the driver, correct? i'll try to add some screenshots for the dev manager section

after right clicking your gtab in device manager and selecting "update driver software" you should follow these steps to get going on win7 64-bit
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5541925/drivergtab.png

Hi,
FYI, one thing to be careful of: In the thread where there's info about adding the 3 lines to the .inf, there's also a full .inf file.
If you try to use the full .inf file, note that it has references to various DLLs, which may, or may not match the DLLs in the driver install directory, so, if you use that full .inf from the thread, you have to adjust those DLL references to the ones for the DLLs you actually have on your machine.
In my case, I found it easier to just add the 3 lines to the .inf that came when I installed the USB driver files from the Android development website, which then worked.
Just an FYI...

THIS IS PIVOTAL... This is where I had the hang up. Make sure that you are looking at iammuze's pic here, especially the 2nd image. by default most of us are used to just pointing to the correct directory where we DO have the modified .ini and it grabbed the wrong one. You HAVE to select 'let me pick'
Thank you iammuze for pointing this out. I think that's where most get lost. It haunted me for weeks as I was just 'skinning' through directions and missed this important step!

Just a quick suggestion - instead of trying to hunt around and fix drivers that are already installed and broken, I highly suggest using USB Deview (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html) which lets you nuke out the old drivers easily on a Windows Vista/7 machine.
I had old ADB drivers from my Nexus One sitting around, and I was unable to uninstall stuff with Device Manager.
Just run USBDeview **as administrator** if you are on Windows Vista/7 and you can uninstall old drivers for USB devices with a single click (in this case, just nuke any old Harmony drivers or other ADB drivers). Then the next time you plug in your G Tab, you should be able to select the proper drivers as suggested in the first post.

doesn't work
So i have also been trying for days and can't get it working right.
Running Windows Vista, have ADB installed, and can connect to other Android devices. I have setup the android_winusb.inf properly, but when I connect my device it shows up in Device Manager as a Portable Device->Tegra.
I have uninstalled the tablet and every other android device using usbdeview as admin
I have searched and destroyed all other usb.inf files.
i am running VEGAn-1.0.5B
No matter what happens, as soon as I plug in the tablet it immediately installs it as a Tegra Portable.
any help is appreciated!

that's very odd, i haven't seen that device description before. it doesn't sound like a vista issue... do you have another computer with vista on it anywhere that you can plug your gtab into? just to see what it reports to dev manager on a super clean system.

Old drivers were conflicting from previous installation attempts for me as well. All is working well once USBDeview was finally able to uninstall the device, however, it took multiple attempts and reboots for it to actually remove them. All is well now, and my Device is connected to the ADB. Thanks Everyone!

[Q] ADB No devices show

I installed the correct drivers, and PDANet WAS pushed to my phone via ADB. but when I do a "adb devices" none show. Device manager see's the device correctly and I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 3 times. USB debugging is on also.I'm on windows 7 x64. Any solution?

Did you set your environment variables to show the path located to your sdk folder? If not, then you need to be in the folder where adb is located in your command prompt.
Go to the Control Panel, and select the System Properties (Windows XP) or System (Windows Vista/7). Select the Advanced settings; Windows XP: Click on the Advanced tab.Windows Vista/7: Click on Advanced system settings on the left. Click on Environment Variables. Under the "System variable" section, you will look for "Path". Double-click on it. In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. %SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
That is taken from the cyanogen wiki on how to set up adb and android sdk.

Hope this helps.

Can't get One S USB driver installed!

I've tried the following:
1) Installing HTC Sync Manager and HTC Sync (the older version of Sync Manager)
2) Installing the drivers included with hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit.
Neither works. Both methods result in a device labeled "E:" showing up under "Portable Devices" in Device Manager, but adb devices shows no devices, and if I choose on the phone to use it as a disk drive, it does not show up under My Computer.
I previously had a Galaxy Nexus and I had the adb usb drivers installed for that. The only thing I can think of is that the computer is somehow still defaulting to those drivers instead of using the HTC drivers, but I don't know how to solve that problem, if that is even the problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Oh, and I also had the android-sdk installed for my Galaxy Nexus. Any chance that completely uninstalling it would help?

I had the same problem but i just figured out how to make my PC to see the HTC One S
(My Windows 7 is in Italian, so I don't know the exact translation for the links)
Start -> Right click on Computer -> Manage -> Devices -> Select the HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have in "DVD/CD-ROM", right click on it and "Deactivate" it, then you have to right click the other HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have under "Disc units" or something like that and right click it, then "Software update" (I repeat, I don't know how the buttons will be in English since I'm on Italian windows, but it'd be similar) and select the second button "Search driver software in my computer" then again the button below "Choose manually" and then just click on "Disc unit" and finally "Next" and it should work...
Hope it helped!

Try this first:
Install drivers on you PC, as you have done. Also don't forget to enable "Debugging mode" in settings. After that, when you connect phone to PC, don't select anyhing, leave it at default of "just charging".
If after the above it still won't work, then you will have to:
1) Uninstall the drivers that you installed from the toolkit.
2) You will need to change how windows handles installation of drivers, once the device is connected.
a) Right click on "Computer", then properties.
b) From the left, click on Advances System Settings
c) Click on Hardware tab.
d) Click on the second button "Device Installation Settings"
e) If you have "Yes..." selected, select "No" instead.
f) Now select "Install driver from Win Update if it is not found on my computer and save!
3) Restart you PC
4) Go to the Hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit folder and install HTC drivers again. Just make sure your phone isn't connected at this time.
5) After intallation is done, just connect you phone. Make sure "debbuging icon" is present on the phones notification bar and that is it, you don't need to enable usb storage mode.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Windows drivers for Nabi2

I've read a couple dozen of the pages from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674&page=95 titled

Click to expand...

.
Using Win7 x64. Nabi2 version: 1.9.37 recently updated.
Can't post to above thread because this is my first post (restricted to "General" forums).
In "Jmz Nabi Recovery Installer" window it is always stuck in the "If stuck here drivers are not installed" step.
Prior to installing "PdaNet for Android" from http://junefabrics.com/index.php,
I had 2 devices in Control Panel under "Other devices" with a yellow '!'. One of the looked like the Nabi device. The other is named "MTP".
After installing PdaNet, only MTP remains with the yellow exclamation point.
What should the Nabi look like in the Control Panel if its properly configured with a driver and where would it be?
And what is MTP?
Apparently I'm still having a driver/connection problem from adb.
USB Debugging is on in the Nabi.

Put the nabi in 'fastboot' mode
Open a CMD Prompt and browse to the 'files' folder within 'jmzrootpackage'
Then type:
adb.exe
fastboot devices
It should return a value (fastboot working and drivers are installed)
Let me know how it goes.

Here is how i done it using Windows 8 x64
I done 3 nabi2's this way but had a lot of trouble first so here is what worked for me:
Sadly, i don't have any nabi2 with me now to explain exactly how i done it
1) First boot the Nabi2 normally and turn off usb debugging.
2) When fully booted connect USB cable.
3) Check device manager and drivers should be installed.
4) Unplug USB cable and turn on USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
5) Reconnect USB Cable.
6) Drivers should install.
7) Install PDA Net on Laptop/PC
8) Select Samsung device from option screen when installing.
9) Wait for install to complete and drivers to install
10) Shut down Nabi2
11) Boot Nabi in fastboot (Hold + and Power buttons)
12) Select fastboot protocol
13) Here i seen Windows 8 take about 60 seconds installing fastboot drivers
To make sure fastboot drivers are installed i went to this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590800
and download ADB (save it to C:\SDK\platform-tools) and read over the helpful instructions in the thread.
Open command Prompt
Type the following (shown in RED) in the CMD window the opened:
cd\
cd C:\SDK\platform-tools
adb.exe (a list of options should be listed)
fastboot devices (it should list a number after you enter this)
If number displayed then you are good to go.
Reboot Nabi2 and wait to complete
Go to the location you saved jmzrootpackage
Go to files folder inside jmzrootpackage
Double click install.bat
Follow on screen prompts ( I took option 1)
TWRP recovery installs
I had trouble installing GAPPS.zip with an error being displayed about unable to mount /data
I copied GAPPS.zip to a SD Card and inserted to Nabi2
i install zip from EXT-SD Card even though it gives a load of errors about not able to mount /data
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot Nabi2
Go to daddy/mommy mode and you should have Google Apps installed.
Any problems let me know.

I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Your instructions with selecting "Samsung" for PdaNet install appears
to have done something right. So maybe I'm a little closer.
It completed the PdaNet install successfully and when I reconnect the
Nabi I see a message popup on Windows saying PdaNet connected something.
(It was too quick.)
So maybe I'm not doing the "Fastboot" portion correctly.
On Nabi hold <Power> and <Vol+> down at same time to turn it on.
Resulting Menu:

Use <Vol-> to move the selected item.
Moved selected item down to "Fastboot Protocol".
Use <Vol+> to "enter" selected item.

At this point the Nabi boots up.

Nothing. (sigh)

After looking at Victoria Antonio's youtube of this process I'm convinced the driver install is still not correct.
Somehow it gets mucked up when I use PdaNet. Not sure how or why.
To make this picture clearer I posted some screen shots on my website: http <colon, 2 forward slashes>skippyvondrake.com
I hope someone can tell me how to unmuck what I've mucked.

I DO get a device number when in fastboot mode and from 'fastboot devices'
But adb still cannot "see" the device. All commands using adb result in:

Regardless of what mode the Nabi is in.

SOLVED
I finally decided to try this with a different computer. Same OS and architecture.
But this computer didn't have various android development "kits" installed previously.
And it worked without a hitch.
The youtube by Victoria Antonio pointed out a few nuances I didn't know.
And you helped too, BBKGTTDi, so giving you "thank you" points.
Chow!

When I get there - if I figure it out - I'll send you a private email sense that would be a different "thread'. There are other nuances I've noticed too...

show game in Nabi mode after rooting
@BBKGTTDi, I thought there would be a way to send private messages/emails on this forum - but I don't see it.
I ran into the same problem after rooting the Nabi. The "Add Apps" app doesn't work as its supposed to.
It worked prior to rooting.
It does list the newly installed apps, but selecting them for Nabi-Mode, rebooting, and they aren't there.
Only visible in Mommy/Daddy mode.
So if you figure it out please let me know!

The "Add Apps" app is working correctly now. Don't know what happened before.
I must be getting "Nabi-ed out".
Let me know if you're still having troubles.

Need Help with ADB

I have read many guides about setting up and using ADB, I am using an older computer with windows xp sp3. I just got my first nexus device which is a nexus 5, in device manager the phone shows up as " samsung android phone" and then "google nexus adb interface". I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers using many different ones found on xda. I have the android sdk installed and adb seems to be working, at least when I type in "adb version" the version number comes up, but when I type "adb devices" nothing comes up as attached devices. This is really frustrating me, as I have have been trying to get this working for days now.i have already uninstalled every other android related driver using USBDeview. If anyone could please help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I'm almost to the point go giving up! Could the problem be because I rooted the phone before getting all this setup? I ask this because when I try to update the driver in device manager it always shows driver type as clockwork mod no matter what driver I try to use

Did you enable ADB via Dev Options on the phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you mean USB debugging, yes I have that enabled

Go to device manager select your phone (samsung device or whatever it's showing!!) and right click and select "Update Driver Software".
On the next screen, select "Browse my computer for driver software" and set the path to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver"
I have used C:\Program Files (x86) because that's the place in which I have installed the SDK. Put a tick mark on "Include subfolders" and then hit Next...
Your device drivers will be installed again and adb will be working!
PS: Please make sure you have the latest android sdk and usb_driver downloaded from SDK manager!!
