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!
So,
I've bought an Samsung Galaxy S3 replica (read: fake, and i want only to root it no flash it):
Model number: S930
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: DM_BASE_12A_W12.28_P1|sc8810_modem|07-13-2012 16:42:35
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #3
Software version: T300_JYYS930_C3BOM_MLB_V6.6.5_20121105
Hardware version: 1.1.0
CPU: Spreadtrum
When I first plugged it my notebook (Win7 32bit) I've got in the device manager:
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
- Spreadtrum Phone
I'm trying to root it so I started my research, afts thousands of tests, I discoverd that
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone >> Android Composite ADB Interface (driver instaled with Android SDK)
- Spreadtrum Phone >> SCI General U2S(AT) (COM3) (Google Search: Spreadtrum Drivers)
- Spreadtrum Phone >> SCI Vendor U2S(DIAG) (COM4) (Google Search: Spreadtrum Drivers)
So after all the yellow marks disappeard i've tried almost everything to root it:
- QQPhoneManeger for Android (which recognise the device like: Sprd S930 - allow me to access my "device root" but I can't change anything there, not even copy from it)
- UnlockRoot (which worked in my previous phone MTP65XX also an android replica)
- Odin
- PDA Net
- SparkyRoot
- Z4Root
- Poot-debug + Ministro II
- Instant-root
- Gingerbreak
- OneClickRoot
- SuperOneClick
And recently i've tried the DooMLoRD ROOT v18 - And I've only got:
adb is out of date. killing...
*daemon estarted succefully*
and nothing more, so i've went to search some more, and I've learned how to verify if adb recognise the device.
I added the C:\android-sdk\plataform-tools to my system path and tried the commands
adb devices
my answer was:
*daemon not runing. startin it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
List of devices attached:
....
Nothing, so i've tried
adb shell
my answer was:
error: device not found
So I re-checked all the drivers, unistalled and re-installed.
tried again same thing...
So now i'm stuck, all the solutions that i've fonund for the problem is now coverd
Is there any way to solve it? Or any way to root my device that isn't listed? Or any driver that's better for my device than the one in Android SDK?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the english.
UPDATE!!

Hi everyone, I'm having the same problem with a similar phone, a S3 replica:
Model number: Z15A

It appears in the Device Manager (Win7 64bit) as:
Other Devices
- Spreadtrum Phone

- Spreadtrum Phone
I tried installing the USB driver that comes with the Android SDK ( sdk\extras\google\usb_driver ) using "Update driver..." but it only says that Windows could not find a driver there ( maybe because of the 64bit OS? ).
I think i will try and install a Win7 32 bit somewhere just in case, but nevertheless, could you elaborate a bit the solution you found please? (mostly the driver part, as I cannot find how to get the device recognized by Windows)
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I, don't know if the trouble is because you have win 7 64bit, but I will say how i've made it.
Windows has already intalled the device as Spreadtrum with generic drives, so any other driver that you try to install tha isn't compatible with the ones windows associated with your device will be avaliated by the system as "no compatible with your device", so what you got to do is, uninstall this generics drivers so the "spreadtrum"s will be displayed with the yellow mark, and under the "other devices" section in the device manager, then, you install manually the spreadtrum drivers that you can find in searches in two of the "spreadtrum" devices (in the drivers i've found in google searches I've got 3 different drivers General, Vendor and Modem, but i've only used General and Vendor as the other "spreadtrum" device was an ADB interface and not a modem) and the other you also install manually but with the driver in the folder "usb_driver" in "android-sdk/extras/google".
Also, when you use "update driver" follow: Search in my computer> pick in a list> have a disc , then you search in the folders of android-sdk and of the spreadtrum drivers that you downloaded.
Hope it helps.
Just one more thing, i've made it with the root access but now my Play Store don't open... it opens loads a little and then close with (the com.android.vending stopped unexpectedly...
I've tried re-instal the native apk, factory reset, everything, bout nothing works :/
I had to re install all my aps via computer with the "adb install xxxx.apk. And every other aps work normally.
Happy holidays everyone.
If anyone have a clue of what to do, i'd like to try it

I got to get the drivers installed. I've got:
- Android Composite ADB Interface
- SCI General U2S(AT) (COM4)
- SCI Vendor U2S(DIAG) (COM3)
I tried some of the rooting methods you list (z4root, OneClickRoot, SuperOneClick,...) and finally DooMLoRD ROOT v18, but the problem is that my /system directory is Read-Only, so no way is anything working.
I don't kno how to proceed now (noob here ), but I'll keep you posted if I find any solution.
Happy holidays, and good luck!

Hi!
I'm trying to do this myself, but I can't seem to install the drivers properly. Did you use 64-bit windows 7? And which drivers did you use?
Cause I used "SPREADTRUM SCI-USB2Serial-version-1.5.6.1" which I found via Google search, and none of the drivers I found are not digitally signed. That means they won't install properly in win 64-bit.
I only get: SCI USB2Serial (COM3) and SciCmpst Diaog (COM4), and they are both still with the yellow exclamation mark.
Anyone got a good tip for me?
Thanks in advance

I've managed to install them on a 32-bit windows 7. Everything I tried on 64-bit just showed the yellow mark, although they where the x64 version drivers.
Regarding the rooting process, I followed this method (As I cannot post outside links yet, just Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") and it worked at last. It's written in portuguese but it's not too difficult to follow looking at the video.
I hope it helps a bit.
Now I was trying to install a custom CWM recovery, prior to install a custom ROM, but I really don't know which one should I use (nor CWM recovery nor ROM)
If someone can point me in any directions on how to continue, it would be great.

I guess it won't be the same, but I was having problems with my Play Store also. It did not loaded anything, just giving "Unable to connect" problems, and it was solved (momentarily) uninstalling all updates. That's going back to Android Market, though it updates itself afterwards to Play Store again. You can do it in Applicatins > Manage Applications > Google Play Store, and push the button "Uninstall updates".
As I said, i think it's not the same issue, but I just wanted to share it, just in case.
Where to find the drivers?

Hello,
I, don't know if the trouble is because you have win 7 64bit, but I will say how i've made it.
Windows has already intalled the device as Spreadtrum with generic drives, so any other driver that you try to install tha isn't compatible with the ones windows associated with your device will be avaliated by the system as "no compatible with your device", so what you got to do is, uninstall this generics drivers so the "spreadtrum"s will be displayed with the yellow mark, and under the "other devices" section in the device manager, then, you install manually the spreadtrum drivers that you can find in searches in two of the "spreadtrum" devices (in the drivers i've found in google searches I've got 3 different drivers General, Vendor and Modem, but i've only used General and Vendor as the other "spreadtrum" device was an ADB interface and not a modem) and the other you also install manually but with the driver in the folder "usb_driver" in "android-sdk/extras/google".
Also, when you use "update driver" follow: Search in my computer> pick in a list> have a disc , then you search in the folders of android-sdk and of the spreadtrum drivers that you downloaded.
Hope it helps.
Just one more thing, i've made it with the root access but now my Play Store don't open... it opens loads a little and then close with (the com.android.vending stopped unexpectedly...
I've tried re-instal the native apk, factory reset, everything, bout nothing works :/
I had to re install all my aps via computer with the "adb install xxxx.apk. And every other aps work normally.
Happy holidays everyone.
If anyone have a clue of what to do, i'd like to try it

Hi, Everyone!
I also have a Spreadtrum S930 phone. My problem is I can't even locate the SCI general and the SCI vendor drivers... Can somebody post a link or tell me where to find these drivers? Sorry... absolute noob here. Thanks.

You can find a them here for example ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 (it's a 7zip file).
Cheers.

I got the drivers. They work. Thanks, Sergimas.

Is this how you added your drivers in the .ini file? Also did you have problems loading the drivers because when I installed it (win 7 64bit) it says its unsigned and said something about having a problem installing it. so that when i installed it, it looks like the picture below. would be great if you could post a pic tutorial. btw i can run my adb anywhere since i configured it for fastboot but i still cant find my device. bummer.

In my case, at last I got a win 7 32bit, because I wasn't able to make it work on my 64bit.
I followed this tutorial (Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") to root it, which points to the drivers ( ge.tt/8hWh71S/v/0 ). Though this zip file has 64bit drivers, in my case they didn't work properly, I saw the same screen you post.
Regarding the .ini file, you should put only (I have that myself):
0x1782
In brief, I got the drivers, installed them on a win 7 32bit, and followed the tutorial above. Don't know which could be the problem with my 64bit system
I hope it helps.
Anyway, now I'm stuck with my system rooted. I don't know how to flash a CWM recovery image, nor how to flash a new ROM, because every app I tried to do it ( Mobile Odin, ROM Customizer, ROM Manager,... ) does not detect the phone, so it is unsupported and does not let me flash it .
If someone could help it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks Sergimas. I havent tried with a 32 bit yet. I guess I'll borrow my friend's laptop for this and see if it works. BTW... with the .ini file, when you said i should only put "0x1782", that does mean that's the only hex code i need to place on the file and delete the rest? Appreciate much for your reply.
EDIT: So i finally got my adb recognize the device and was able to list the device id however when i used the doomlord and/or he portugese root, it said it wasnt able to root it.
EDIT: Lol so yeah. I dont know what I did but i was able to root my phone using the x64 files that sergimas gave and get this, I still have the yellow icons on both spreadtrum coms (general and vendor)! I mean its freakin yellow!
(If you right click on prorperties it still would show this error) " The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
Driver is not intended for this platform.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
I think what I did was, rather than update the first spreadtrum line with google's own file via sdk, I used the composite device that came from "jungo". Then I loaded Doomlord and viola it granted me superuser access! And just when I was about to give up. Lmao.

Happy to read it, I didn't even try it with the yellow marks :laugh:
sergimas said:
I've managed to install them on a 32-bit windows 7. Everything I tried on 64-bit just showed the yellow mark, although they where the x64 version drivers.
Regarding the rooting process, I followed this method (As I cannot post outside links yet, just Google: "Root Android 4.0 (Novo método) Atualizado x3") and it worked at last. It's written in portuguese but it's not too difficult to follow looking at the video.
I hope it helps a bit.
Now I was trying to install a custom CWM recovery, prior to install a custom ROM, but I really don't know which one should I use (nor CWM recovery nor ROM)
If someone can point me in any directions on how to continue, it would be great.

Thanks but as you said yourself, it's not the same issue :/
I've made some discoveries regarding the problem.
After i've got the root access i removed some system apps that i wouldn't use or that i wanted update the system app.
These are the removed apps:
- Download Provider UI
- Email
- ES File Explorer
- My Favorites
- Playtalk
- Water Locker
- Sprd Note
After that the phone bricked, i've made a forced reboot via adb, and when it came back the screen didn't stop blinking, so i've put everything back and started removing one by one, it turned out that the "Playtalk" was the one that couldn't be removed.
With the issue solved, i discoverd that my market/play store didn't work, and that i could'nt realize any download from the browser, so I re-installed everything again and did a factory reset, but it didn't work to solve the problem, after searching a lot, I noted that in my system apps there is no "dowload provider.apk" only the "download provider ui.apk" that i removed in the beginning, and i'm thinking thats the problem with browser, but I don't know if it is the same problem of the market/play store because it don't even open, when i tap the icon, the screen shows: Loading, then it closes, with the "the application stopped unexpectedly" but it don't even "wait" for me to force stop, I just get back to the app laucher screen.
So, If anyone has anything for me to try to solve the issue, it will be awesome 'cause i'm trying to solve it more than 2 weeks.
PS. I already tried to install the "download provider.apk" but every version I try i get the same two problems:
- Incompatible Shared User
or
- Older SDK.
Ps 2. Regarding the market/play store issue, i already tried to clear the data/cache and neither of them work.

thank you for sharing the info. i have the same phone and have been trying to research on how to root it as well. i've tried my best to understand your instructions but i just can't seem to get it. would you mind doing a walk through of the whole procedure? what files/tools do i need and how do i use them? i also can't seem to download the doomlord tool, i always get an error saying that the source file is damaged. i will appreciate any help. thanks in advance.
I have an rca tablet I can not get any drivers to work to get to replace/update the firmware and I was wanting to ask if anyone has found anything that works.
I have tried mediatek, rca and all other drivers I can find and nothing seems to work on windows 10 64.
Thank You

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and I am trying to find drivers to access an rca rct6703w13
I have tried every driver I can find and nothing seems to work does anyone know something that will work?
I would be very grateful if anyone could help?
Thank You
Oh boy, I still remember this pain trying to find and use such drivers on Windoze:
- try another port
- try another cable
- try this driver or that one
- try doing a rain dance with 3 days old undies on your head, and turn only clock wise, unless it's full moon, then turn counter clockwise but stop briefly after ever two and a half turns
Maybe, as workaround, you could boot from a linux CD and try your approach from there.
Whenever I flash from my debian, it works: If "fastboot devices" still doesn't show anything then usually I have forgotten to plugin the cable
By using my "Yet Another Universal ADB Driver" Package (see the link in my signature) one can remove all the old adb drivers if that is the issue, but this case seems to be more interesting...
On win10 it seems that the adb is embedded to the winusb driver the same or similar way (registry wise) that my package is using. Now that I have tested, the behavior is similar with my devices. When using file transfer connection the adb is not recognized. With others, charging, photo, midi the abd works fine. To make adb work with file transfer one have to install the correct driver. In this case google's general driver could be okay, one match for vendor and product ids in it ...
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/usb_driver_r13-windows.zip
What I tested using virtual win7 64bit, it seems to behave the same way... which is a bit weird as I've tested it with my driver package. Worked okay then I think. The Android device used has changed since though.. It worked on win10 back then too.. the change has to have happened later.. or I didn't use file transfer..
@steadfasterX 's maid or salt or whatever it's called nowadays might be usable in this case. It's a Linux having SP flash tool etc. available..
edit: tested and it turned out that the updated phone is the problem... using another phone my driver package worked as expected..

1. Don't confuse USB-driver and ADB-driver: the USB-driver since ever is by default part of any OS, so also of Windows OS. The ADB-driver is an extra protocol what allows you to communicate with a phone's Android ecosystem via an USB-connection.
2. Latest generic ADB-driver ( correct: ADB client ) got released August 2022 and is officially versioned 33.0.3.
3. AFAIK a 64-bit version of ADB-driver doesn't exist.
With regards to install this ADB-driver on a Windows 7,8.1,10,11 PC:
It's NO USB-driver installer - as introduced above by @CXZa - needed what unnecessarily bloats the Windows registry with crap.
You
1. simply create on any mounted drive of Windows PC a folder named "ADB",
2. extract there to the 3 files what are in the attached ZIP file,
3. add path of created folder "ADB" to Windows environment variable PATH, thus ADB-driver is systemwide accessible -
how to is described here
How to Set the Path and Environment Variables in Windows
Information on how to set the path and environment variables in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
