ADB Drivers for XP

Searched everywhere... couldn't find anything.
The drivers for ADB must be different for windows xp... no? When trying to use the the .inf file for the drivers from the package in the windows vista/7 thread, I get the following message:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware

I looked around for a different XP driver package but couldn't find one. Everythings up and running great on my home box running windows 7... but I'd like to get all set up here at work on the XP box as well.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

As far as I know Moto only has 2 sets of drivers tha twork on any version of windows. You jus thave to make sure you have the right set depensing on the OS. They have them separarte at 32bit or 64bit.
Anywhoo I have used both sets from this link and have no trouble. Reason I say that is at work my comp is still XP, but at home the laptop is Win7 64bit

sadly... same result with those drivers. get the following message when trying to use the .inf files with those packages:

Don't try using the *.inf. Install the app, then go to programs in XP and run the Moto driver installation to clean, then clean and reinstall and you should be good to go. Personally in all my experience I've never had good luck pointing to the *.inf

thanks for the info. tried that and again... no dice. it sucks, but i guess it's not a huge deal. i can adb in from my win7 box no problem. would just be nice to know i could do it from this xp box as well.
oh well! thanks anyway for trying to help though!

This just makes no sense. Be tha tas it may try this link out and grab the drivers they have posted there and see if it does the trick.

ya... i agree. i could see the drivers not working, but the message saying that the file doesn't even have info on my device is just weird.
the drivers in that post are the first ones i tried. they worked great on my win7 box at home... but same message here on the XP box.

yea it is odd t osay the least. and the even more weird part is I have 2 comps setup with the same OS's you have and don't have the trouble. there has got to be something corrupted or casuing the XP box to not work right for whatever reason.
One suggestion I'd have is to compeltely uninstall the drivers. then grab a copy od CCleaner which is free mind you and run the registry scan to clear up unneeded crap left behind. I'd run it a couple of times until nothing else shows up on the list. Once done reboot the comp and then try the drivers again and see what you get. Ccleaner does a grea tjob of cleaning up the registry and I've used it many times for friends trying to clean things up for them when they have issues.

In order to get adb you need android sdk files which are located here... Android SDK

have sdk installed already. i was running my dinc off of the XP box before i got the DX... so sdk is already installed and ready to go.
i'll try a full driver clean-out tomorrow (if i have time) and see if that might work. it's just odd that the .inf file isn't registering with windows as being associated with the phone. seems to me that if it was a problem with an already installed driver, the new driver just wouldn't work after installed. the problem here is that i can't even get XP to accept the .inf file as one that works with the phone.
anyway... will play around with it tomorrow as time permits (after all... the xp box is my work machine. lol).
thanks gents for the input.

I had the same issue with my work pc which is xp pro. If you pm me ill give you the process to fix your problem when I get into work tomorrow. -Insta

Worked for me too. You're a rock star. Thanks a ton for the help!!
FYI for others... the hardware ID's change for each of the USB connection modes. I just saved as two separate .inf files... one for charge only and one for mass storage mode.
Anyway, awesome instructions. Thanks again!

Insta. Can I be the father of your children? I love you that much..... haha!

Ok...that was freakin amazing!!!! I was busting my head all day at work trying to figure out why it wouldnt work.
Thanks so much!!

Also wanted to add my thanks, worked for me too.

THX
Nice work.

Awesome! Did the trick for me as well!
I have a HTC Desire, if someone else need it, here is the lines to add to the file if you have Desire:
[Google.NTx86]
;HTC Desire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01
or
[Google.NTamd64]
;HTC Desire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01

Insta I can really use some help. I was so glad to find this thread and prayed it would work. I tried your instructions to the t but maybe i didnt understand something. when i went to update the drivers and pointed windows to the edited inf file it gave me an error saying the folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible driver blah blah. UGHHHH If only you could hear me screaming I HATE WINDOWS!!! Ok calm now, sorry for that. Please let me know what im doing wrong. Thanks

Try resetting your phone and your computer then try again

like a reboot? that hasn't helped yet...

yeah exactly- hmmm try re-installing the drivers

where can I find the samsung drivers and I am trying to do that again now.. but I am not sure what drivers you are talking about specifically.

you have to get the drivers through android sdk
(with phone usb connected)
device manager
Android Device
right click
update drivers
click browse my computer then next and then click install
if it doesnt give you that option let me know

okay I am having problems there. First, it doesn't recognize an android device, it says unknown device and it won't take any drivers I have followed the pdanet steps, and I have tried the galaxy s drivers with no luck...

okay there is your problem now we are getting somewhere,
do you have android sdk
if yes do you know how to install packages

I have tried this on two 64bit machines and one x86 the one I am on now.. and can't get it to work. I feel like a total newb but this is not a new thing to me ( rooting/unlocking etc) I have had a g1 since the release, then a nexus one since release and just got the nexus s yesterday and have struggled with this one..

what do you mean by install packages, and I appreciate your help

okay no problem it took me a bit to figure it out too.....there arent samsung drivers for this phone they come straight from google through android sdk. im assuming you have it and im going to assume its in this directory if you did eveything right with your n1
c:/androidsdk
in the directory there is a file called SDK setup.exe open it
once it opens do yourself a favor and click cancel dont ask why just do it
now thats out of the way there is 5 options on the left pane of the android sdk window click settings.
then at the bottom of that window is a box under misc. by force http..make sure its checked
then on the left pane goto then available packages
click them all to save yourself trouble and then on the bottom right install packages
let me know when thats done

doing it now - not sure if this helps or not but I had done this last night on a different pc - unfortunately that is at home and I am on my work laptop right now.
and... done.

okay now go back into the device manager and right click on unknown device
update/re-install/install whichever it says then when it asks search or browse
BROWSE
c:/androidsdk/googleusb driver
and watch the magic happen

okay a few things: first it says e: now for the phone under portable devices second, there is no google usb drivers, so I tried it just under the AndroidSDK folder and all the following and it said:
The best driver software for your device is already installed. WPD Filesystem Volume Driver
thoughts?

go back to the sdk setup.exe expand the boxes under available packages and read me what you see

is this where you are asking me to display from? http://www.twitpic.com/3gwnus
OR here: http://www.twitpic.com/3gwo9i

let me save you the trouble
unzip cut and paste to your androidsdk folder
http://www.multiupload.com/Y3T61793BP

yes and paste the file i sent you into that folder

now it still says the best driver is already installed...

uninstall your phone

Apparently i'm retarded..

Searched everywhere. I don't know if i need to be running windows 7 or what but i can't seem to find the drivers to install onto my computer from the device manager. the phone is plugged in, i search for the C:\android-sdk-windows and can't find it ANYWHERE.
yes, i've used the search feature. on many different website.
can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction.... i'm ready to pull out all my hair and break my computer in half.

Sync w/drivers

The non-sync drivers which you'd use with unrevoked
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
First line is the link and it shows how to install drivers

i can't find the drivers to begin with when i go to update drivers from the manage devices folder. there is no C:\android-sdk-windows ANYWHERE in ANY of the files when the phone is plugged in.

This would be more suited for q and a but anyways are you talking about the drivers needed to root the device
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Go to this site:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
The very first billet point is:
Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember. Click in the "unrEVOked modified USB driver" link and download the driver. it's zipped so you will need to uncompress it, probably to your desktop. It won't be called "android-sdk-windows", it will be called "Android USB Driver".

AHHHH THANK YOUUU! will be trying this today hopefully(if i can get my friend's phone from him) and report back.
Thank you guys for your time and help, this is why i love XDA.

Can't install Windows Driver

I can't seem to get the Windows driver installed for the Evo Shift. I uninstalled the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Android phone and the phone shows up in Device Manager with the Yellow triangle, but whenever I try and update its driver and point it to the USB Driver folder from the Android SDK it says that Windows could not find driver software for the device.
Any ideas here? I did try using ADB to check for devices and nothing shows up in the list.
Thanks for the help.

No, I've been trying to point it to the USB Drivers folder from the Android SDK. I can't seem to find the driver from HTC (or know which is the right one).
I didn't think it was HTC Sync but maybe it is...

If I remember correctly what I did (it was so long ago on windows lol), after you download the sdk from google you have to run the sdk/tools/android program to update and download the windows drivers. After that I went to device manager where the yellow triangle is and then right-click on it and select install manually instead of search online for drivers. Then click the browse button and find where in your sdk folder it downloaded the drivers to (can't remember where they are since so long ago). Select the correct drivers, there's probably more then one so you might have to mess around with trying different drivers out to get it working. Hope that helps and good luck. Or you can try the above method and try out the HTC drivers but I never used those so I can't say how to install them exactly.

Ok, I think I got it working, I guess I did need to install HTC Sync to get the driver.
I now have a device number in ADB. My phone said Couldn't find HTC Sync on the computer but I don't think that matters if the device number was in ADB, correct?
Thanks for the help.

That makes sense, I never ran the program, just had it search the folder. I think I got it working though as mentioned in my post right above this one. Thanks.

You need HTC Sync and you need admin rights to install drivers on windows.

Yeah your all good man, when you do adb devices and get your serial # back all is well, I had sync on my Vista pc and it wouldn't let me use HTC sync, it would just say not found, but I always just used the unrevoked EVO drivers and they hold true to this day, I've done G2s inspire and MT4GS all without new drivers

[Q] Help with USB Drivers for Nook Simple Touch

The current project I am trying to work on is trying to get USB mode to work on a rooted NST with NookManager. I have found a guide somewhere else, but it requries pushing boot and uimage files from ADB. I have tried everything I could, even using Ubuntu in Vbox but I haven't been successsful yet. For whatever reason, the USB isn't being read in Vbox-Ubuntu correctly and can't be mounted.
I have done everything I could to install the USB drivers on Windows properly, but I haven't had any luck. I have scoured the forums, but I couldn't find anything. What I need help is how to uninstall what I have reinstall correctly. I have tried the uninstall fuction in device manager but if there is a better way of doing this I haven't found anything. Can anyone help? Point me in the right direction at least? I hope if i can at least get the drivers installed correctly and adb devices to read it properly, I can figure out how to do everything else. It's just that one hurdler I'm having issues with.
I am running win 8.1 pro but willing to use ubuntu if necessary.
I should also mention what I have done. I Have altered the android_winusb.inf and the adb_usb.ini files, which sort of worked, but I still have yellow exclamations ove the device names.

Well, what do the Yellow Warnings say?
The first step is to get the category in Device Manage "Android Devices" (or "Android Phones") with a device listed under it.
If you have yellow, what driver does it say it has loaded?
It should be using WinUSB.sys
What does it say when you try to reload drivers?
If it suggest "Composite USB Device" accept that.
If you are using the latest version of adb.exe (819,200 bytes) it will already have the vendor ID in it for Nook.
You will not have to modify adb_usb.ini (not that it will hurt anything).
The first step is to get the driver installed (obviously).
abd.exe should be able to connect.
If you have a problem you could try omaplink.exe as an independent check of ADB.

Well to say the least, it's mess
Anyhow, the category is "Other Devices - Nook SimpleTouch"
Driver Provider: Unkown
When I try reinstalling it says:
Windows found driver software for you device but encounterd an error while attempting to install it.
Android Composite ADB Interface​The system cannot find the file specified​I have done the Advance Restart for Win 8 that disables the driver signatures and I still get this message.

The modified .inf file has to be where it was originally.
That is, in the same directory as:
Code:
android_winusb.inf
i386\WdfCoInstaller01009.dll
i386\winusbcoinstaller2.dll
i386\WUDFUpdate_01009.dll

It's in the adt-bundle folder under ~sdk/extras/google/usb_driver. Should it be in the i386 folder?

I just meant that you can't take android_winusb.inf from where it was, edit it, plunk it down somewhere else and try to run it from there.
I don't know about "adt-bundle".
Do those 4 files listed above appear together in the same relative positions?
When you try to update the driver keep saying NO until you get to the "Have disk" button.

Renate, your questions helped me figure it out.
Yes all the files are where they are suppose to be in the same relative position that you outlined.
So i did this to get the "Have Disk Button"
I first did a right click "Update Driver software
1. Browse for driver on computer.
2. Clicked "let me pick from a list of device drivers"
3. A windows that says "Select your device type from the list below:"
4. List gives options includes Show all devices, ADB Interface, Android Device
5. I chose Android Device: It gave me a selection of devices and Nook Android Interface was there. I selected that and installed.
6. I then went to the command tutorial and typed in adb devices and I got the serial numbers.
I wrote this out for future refence for myself, and in the hopes it will help someone else.
thank you so much Renate! You were a huge help! I can't wait to start using your USB Host!

I'm glad that worked.
I actually meant saying even more Nos until an actual "Have Disk" button appears.
Window caches the driver inf files and you could have had a bad one.
