[Guide] Install drivers for any device using Pdanet

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.

Doesnt seem to be doing anything..

(I'm essentially a windows noob again, so please bare with me)

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.

[Offer] Modified ADB Driver with your DEV_ID - Signed

Hello, my name as you can probably guess is Krutonium.
I do a lot of work over at leshcatlabs (Can't post a link yet, if a mod could edit that would be great!) and I was wondering if this community would be interested in my little project (Story about Why first, or look about 5 inches down).
So I recently got this little Android Tablet as a Gift, and I wanted to root it so I could play around with some less normal features like overclocking and such. So I go and get the ADB Drivers from Google, and quickly discover that I have to re-install the driver every time I reboot my tablet. This quickly got annoying, so I took a look at the actual inf (Over at leshcatlabs, we modify Video Card Drivers, so this was pretty much the norm for me, though it has a much cleaner layout than AMD's inf's) and decided to add my Tablets ID's into the driver. This of course worked, and it stayed installed.
I am willing to make a Massive INF File with your DEV_ID's, if you are interested.
I will sign it with a Driver Certificate, so that it will install on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and the upcoming 9, without having to disable Signing Enforcement, and enabling you not not have any issues like having to constantly re-install the driver.
Any Questions? Are you interested? Please reply to let me know!

Hi krutonium i use unifl since years thanks for your work! I'm glad to see you on xda too good luck with your new project! :highfive:

Hi there!
I'm Tito & I've recently joined the Android USB UnifL team - the initiative as told by @Krutonium. Lot of improvements are made already!
Website: http://leshcatlabs.net/2014/09/28/android_adb-usb_unifl_drivers/
Discussion forum: http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=15
Download: http://leshcatlabs.net/downloads_usb_unifl/
In a nutshell:
We provide digitally signed drivers for ADB & Fastboot (if available) interfaces.
Some other interfaces, such as Sony's Flashmode, Samsung's Download mode, Xiaomi's MDB are also supported.
No need to turn off Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows x64 to install these drivers.
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 (& in future 10) are fully supported.
New devices from OEMs & generic/clone devices can easily be added in the supported list.
Automatic update check in installer.
Rapid development cycle.
List of supported OEMs & devices :
Coolpad
Dell
Google
HTC
Huawei
Intel SoC based devices
LG
MediaTek SoC based devices
Motorola
NVIDIA
OnePlus
Rockchip SoC based devices
Samsung
Sony
Sony Ericsson
Trekstor
Xiaomi
YU
To do:
There are already number of similar efforts exist, like Koush's Universal ADB Driver & @1wayjonny's Universal Naked Driver, but they aren't updated & actively maintained.
We always try our best to swipe out the errors & add more devices in the supported list. But to do so, we need active support from the users.
If your device from mentioned list doesn't work or you have a new device that isn't present in the list, please do the following:
1. Make sure USB Debugging in on in the Android device. Connect it with the PC.
2. Press Win key + R to open the Run dialogue box, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) & press Enter - Device Manager will be opened.
3. Go to the device that is unrecognized - the name should have something to do with your device, for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Double click on the device, go to Details tab and from the dropdown menu, select "Hardware Ids".
5. Take a screenshot or copy the texts. You need to post like this:
Please add my Tablet/Phone:
(OEM) PROSCAN
(Model) PLT7044K-B
(Dev_ID for ADB)
USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&MI_01
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Similarly do for Fastboot interface if your device supports it.
7. Last but not the least, due to increasing number of cloned/generic devices, it is really helpful for us if you also link the official driver pack/sync tool/phone manager application of your OEM.

It would be better to join our forum regarding issues & support but we're also active in XDA too.

Description
GlassROM Young N is a ROM (the first one, if I am not in error) for the Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S6310N (not S6310!, but the N variant). I was horrified by this low-end device, because there were no custom ROMs for it, and S6310 ROMs didn't work, I just ended up re-flashing the original firmware after a boot loop. So, here it is, the first ROM for this device, based on the Samsung 4.1.2 official AMJ1 firmware. It is de-bloated (which means no software besides what you want), has Trebuchet Launcher instead of TouchWiz Home, and I also remved most Google Apps (except for Play Store), because you can install them if you want, from Google Play.
This new thread for GlassROM Young N was made as a pre-release. The files here released, are an installer of the ROM Patch. This means you need to flash the stock ROM (4.1.2 AMJ1) via ODIN or Heimdall. Also, you must flash CWM (get it here: https://www.mediafire.com/?nwcnwu1yu92ym9w) via ODIN/Heimdall too. Then, you must boot up the stock firmware and enable USB Debugging. FInally, reboot to recovery, go to Mounts and Mount /system . Finally, connect the phone to the computer and run the script.
The original script was made for Unix-like OSes which use Bash Shell (like Linux and Mac). But I have made a Windows version too, available on the project page.

I am developing an OTA Installer and OTA Updater for this ROM!
Stay tuned!

OTA Updater going to tests!

I've done everything, recovery, clean install, usb debugging enable, I get a usb device not install in device manager for SAMSUNG_android when a get in recovery and put usb in phone. The solution?
I tried on all sorts samsung drivers, and even KIES and nothing.
Thanks in advance.

Windows script is useless, several errors, bricked the phone. Needed to flash again. Do not upload until you test it.

Could you provide a screenshot of the error? Does ADB say anything?At the moment, I can only test the Linux/Mac OS/*nix version. You could try using it btw.

I see. Look, this isn't a Google Play app review. This is a development thread. You seem like you don't understand it, but doing this takes time. Here, useful feedback is the only one I would like to receive. Useless feedback like yours wont help development at all.

Since I do not know linux, I can not use it. I have tried Ubuntu live dvd, but it does not run the script without adb.

Use the live dvd or usb, then install adb from the terminal (write adb, it should tell you what to do to install it), and use the installer. Note th\g yoj must be on recovery when running the script.

Update: 0.1.1 bugfixing update was released. 0.2 is expected to use OTA updating via our app.

Working on the OTA Updater
As you can see in the screenshot, the OTA Updater app will be available in the next updater. It is almost finished, now I have to start working on actual flashable updates.

You have to change it's permissions to executable.
Open the Terminal, and do:
chmod u=rwx install.sh
Then type
./install.sh
And that's it.

Apart from many other installers widely available on XDA, they all had two things missing; ability to fetch latest version automatically and be really small in size. Well, I have loads of free time so I started working on this small nifty installer for ADB and Fastboot for Windows. What sets it apart from the all other installers?
** FEATURES **
Installer entirely coded in C++ and uses default Win32 APIs
Compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows later than Windows XP
Really small size (146 kB installer + 1 MB adb / fastboot zip)
Latest version of ADB downloaded automatically from Github Repository and installed system-wide
Seamless install of ADB/Fastboot drivers (Google only for now)
Fully Open Source
** REQUIREMENTS **
Microsoft Windows Vista or later
Active Internet connection
Administrative privileges
** DOWNLOADS **
installer-version-1.2-stable: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...ster/versions/adb_fastboot_installer-1.2s.exe (146 kB size; adb package will be downloaded separately)
** SOURCE CODE **
For all my Open Source software fans: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-Fastboot-Installer-for-Windows/tree/master/source

ADB version update 1.0.39-r3db08f2c6889-android has been successfully pushed to the GitHub repository. Simply rerun the installer to automatically download and install the latest version.

Great, thank you... you saved me

a noob question: where does it install adb ? i try the command "adb devices" in terminal but it says following
Code:
C:\Users\John>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
i also saw in C: drive but no folder like android or adb ?
i just want to access my adb shell for my nougat device on my pc win7.
thanks in advance

It installs it to C:\Windows\adb.exe.
Did you run the installer as administrator and did the installation completed successfully. You also must be connected to internet during installation.

your installer is recognised as a trojan: https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/...45688791ea9abed7b75386e0/analysis/1505028376/

The installer is fully open source. You can check the source code and rest assured there is no Trojan. Even compile it for yourself

I'll test it on Bitdefender today to check if it is really the case. The only reason why antivirus detects it as a suspicious file is because it copies all files to Windows directory

Yep, can be easily done. I'll implement this functionality in the weekends.

Hi there, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for developing this. All the other quick installers seem to be abandoned, and the newest versions of adb do actually make a difference. For example, it used to be that a pull would skip files with certain characters, and I believe they've ironed that out now. I am going to download this and give it a shot asap.
Thanks again.

I've already added support for installation on non Windows directory and updating the Path variable system-wide to allow using adb from any command prompt.
What's left now is to add support for downloading and installing drivers on the go. I already have silent packages for Huawei, Samsung and Google drivers. Will add the support for it too as soon as I get free this Friday after my exams.

New update 0.3-b
- Remove installation of adb directly to Windows directory.
- Installed now in C:\hcX-af directory with system-wide PATH variable automatically updated so that you can run adb from anywhere
- Updated adb and fastboot version
Download Link:https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...ster/versions/adb_fastboot_installer-0.3b.exe
After installation if you're unable to use adb, please logoff or reboot your PC for changes to take affect.

SideQuest - Sideloading made easy! for Oculus Go and Quest.

SideQuest is designed to simplify sideloading apps onto your standalone android based headset. It should include everything you need to get started. When you first open the app it is best to open the setup screen and follow the instructions on screen to get setup.

}
It is important to follow the instructions in the setup screen before you start - particularily installing the OpenStore Launcher app to be able to find the apps on your device once they are installed.
SideQuest Features
Automatic download of ADB platform-tools for your platform - win/mac/linux.
Setup instructions for enablding developer mode on your device.
On device launcher app to be able to open the apps once installed.
Drag and drop support for installing arbitrary apps.
Repository seeding via sources.txt file to preload your own repos for distribution.
Add custom fdroid based repositories to get more apps.
Setup
When you first launch SideQuest it will download the repositories and also download the ADB tools. Once this is done you should go to the Setup menu option and follow through the one time setup to get your device ready to install apps.
If you have any problems you can hit the debugger icon to capture any errors - these will really help to find and fix bugs.
Apps
I will be adding more apps to the repos and I will be notifying of repo updates on my discord server - you can then manually update the repos in the repos section to get the new app listings.
