Adb and vista. Problem

Is anyone having problems with adb and vista?
When I start the adb shell I can type about 2 or 3 commands and then it stops responding. When I type the 3rd command or so instead of it going back to # at the command prompt it just goes to the next line with out a prompt.
Also when this happens I go to task manager and try to shut down the adb.exe but it won't I have to reboot my computer.
I have a laptop and a usb keyboard when I start have the problems with adb my key board wont work ether. So I have tried it with out the usb key board but have the same problem.
I have also tried running adb and xp compatible but still have the same problem. Is there anything else I can use other than adb?

I am having problems as well. I flashed my custom boot image yesterday and now today it is saying that it cannot find my device. It has worked since December and then today, nothing. In Need of Help.

What version of vista are you using??,,, additionally this should be moved to the "Dream" Section

I have Ultimate x64, have no issues. I assume you have the proper drivers as you can do a couple commands, yes??

Vista 32 Ultimate here and I've never had an issue. Go to the Device Manager and see what it shows when ADB stops working. Sounds like your USB controllers are taking a ****.

I'm using vista 32 bit. I think I'm haveing a usb conflict.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum

I have Ultimate x64 and no problems.
I had a problem with the driver that was configured to G1. Maybe..

I have Vista Home Premium x64. On Vista SP1 I had no problems. After upgrading to SP2 the adb will connect once and in Eclipse I can get a few commands through, then it hangs. After that I cannot kill the adb process, nor get any response from an adb command.
When I roll back to SP1 it works again. Though under SP1 it is still not completely stable, however it is always possible to kill the adb process and connect the device again.

adb usb drivers

first of all, i solute all u fine chaps for doing amazing work on hd2 android.
i have a questino about adb usb drivers. i have nexus1 android on my hd2and it seems perfect apart from the fact that everything installs on internal mem and not my sd card. i read a thread about how to go around it by downloading android dev sdk and usb drivers and use some commands to change default install location. keeping it simple, i have installed the sdk but usb drivers have made me pull my hair out all night. i have tried forcing drivers, reinstalled usb mass storage drivers, plugged in - out usb countless times, u name it but the error windows give me is failed because adb composite service is either disabled or not running plus when i do adb devices, it starts the demon but doesnt give device id. in device manager it shows yellow triangle on adb.
i have win vista 32bit.
plz someone help me or i will be a bald man soon getting stressed out...
thanks chaps...

Anyone,,,,?
Still unable to do it, spent 5 hours last night but no results. Feels like ADB USB drivers have something against me..lol

i had huge problems with drivers too and windows 7 64. Try your drivers on another computer with same os, I was surprised it worked. After hours of threads reading I finished by making a mistake with usbdeview and corrupt some usb files -> format
After that I found that changing of android rom helped a lot too. Now all its working perfectly, I hope you will find a less painful solution ...

[q] Help ADB was working, now device not found (CM7)

I've had ADB working successfully in the past, but now nothing is listed after an "adb devices" command, and a "device not found" error for other commands. I was on Royal Ginger 2, and just updated to the latest CM7 nightly - then wanted to use ADB to tweak a few things and found out something was wrong. What else do I need to do to get adb to recognize my device?
I haven't changed anything on my laptop, which is Win7 64bit, and I've updated everything in SDK Manager. Device Manager on the laptop shows T-Mobile myTouch4g USB Device under Disk drives on the Device Manager, and I believe I have the latest mt4g drivers installed. I'm connecting via USB with debugging turned on, and without turning on USB storage.
Any ideas?

I was finally able to get adb to recognize my device again. FYI, I tried a few different things, but I think what finally got it working was tweaking the *.inf file in the usb_driver folder in SDK, the uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers - as outlined here:

[Q] What's the micro usb port for?

Does anyone use the micro usb port? I have yet to find a use for it. I can't transfer files with it, charge with it nor are there any peripherals (that I know of) that can use it. I searched around but couldn't find much useful stuff on the port. All I found was this useless video:
**Ok I can't post the video because of more stupid forum rules but just go to youtube.com and append this after the url: /watch?v=1xBVu-IatDQ **
Anyway, if someone has ideas on how this port can be used I'm all ears... Thanks.

It is a file transfer port. you plug a cable into it and into your PCs usb port. works like the ones on your phone.

Does it work for you? Because it doesn't for me. Nothing happens when I plug it into a computer. No automounting on the computer side or indication on the tablet that I can put it into "usb storage mode" like the 2.X Android versions do.

What OS are you using on your computer, and have you installed the drivers for it?

Computer OS? i just plugged it into my Win7 system and it was there instantly. 3.0 shows up as a media device, which allows both the tablet and the computer to talk to the sdcard at the same time. So you won't see a mount prompt on the tablet. BTW my Incredible2 is running 2.3 and also lets me access the SD card on it and the computer at the same time.

I'm still using an old tiny xp and it worked fine for me just plugged it in and there it was

I tried Gentoo Linux and XP and neither worked. What drivers do I need to install?
I also have access to a Win7 system so I'll try that.
dq

Drivers from acer website.

I have adb installed should this not be enough?

You need none installed. ADB if its running in some form might be interfering. its just a basic driver in windows it uses.

I only run adb-server when I need it and not all the time. I thought that any needed drivers would have been installed when I installed adb.
For my Gentoo machine what should I do? It's not detected at all if I plug it in. My x10 mini and Nexus One are detected no problem and I can mount them and everything so what's up? Is there a kernel module that I need to build?
Thanks.

I had to download these drivers for my xp netbook ,,

I agree with Nova 5. The Windows drivers for USB come with the SDK and while you might not think you will have use for the SDK you will. It makes the process of installing custom ROM,s and Recovery Kernels a breeze. You download your zip flashes or recovery images to Win 7 and then you adb push your downloads to the tablet. The alternatives, unless soneone was nice enough to compile you an apk, which most advanced system developers don,t bother with, unless their app is destined for the massees throug Andriod market, is to install a terminal emulator and enter native Unix/Linux shell commands manually. If you aren't a shell cmd expert I suggest you immediatly download the latest Android SDK for Windows and start learning what it can do for you with just 2 or 3 adb push commands which can help you advoid 10's of lines of manually entered Linux shell commands that can do some real damage to your system if you are copying someone elses terminal emulator sh install instructions, don't understand what they do and make 1 simple typing mistake. With adb push you don't even have to get involved in Linux's complicated bit based permission changes to install something at the system level.

Yes, well I only really use adb in the same capacity as what you describe-- to root a device. After that busybox can be installed and I can either ssh into the device (which I prefer) or use the terminal on the device itself.
But my problem is the detection of the device once it is plugged into my Linux box. I'm not sure if I need a special driver for that and I'd rather not aimlessly search through the kernel config in order to build one (I've done that before and it's painful!). It's good to know that one can mount it on an external device and still use it simultaneously though. That will save me time in trying to fiddle around with settings in the tablet itself...

If you are not able to transfer files Try enabling usb debugging before connecting to pc.

If the tab is not in the usb devices list and it doesn't show up as an unknown device, you might want to try another usb cable. Or another port if you have the Windows and Linux on the same machine and you are trying to connect on the same port.

Not nearly what I was saying. Not even close enough that a bomb would touch it.
Simple answer is my vista and win7 systems accessed the iconia as a media player device requiring no drivers as they are a common system driver. My only comment about ADB was that it might be interfering if it somehow was left running in the background.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I had to play around with the settings and plug it in several times and finally it showed up. Now I plug it in and the dialog for auto play shows up instantly. When I choose to view files, I get a window with two drives. One is the internal storage and the other is the sd card.

Sometimes mine gets a bit wonky as well. Every now and then, I'll plug it in, get the windows dialogue box asking me what I want to do. I open it up and the box is blank, no drives, nothing. Unplug it, wait a few seconds, pop it back in, and everything is OK. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen all the time.

Quick trick for win7 .
Plug in the device.go into device manager delete its entry and the USB controller it resides on.unplug device.install driver from acer web site.then try the device again.
This works on several USB type issues
Good luck if you don't understand don't try

Not able to ADB my STR

Hello folks,
I had a WinXP computer, and I installed android SDK, and I was able to connect to my nook via ADB. As it was aging and having fan problem, I bought a new Dell (i5, win7, 4Gb RAM, 500 Gb HD). I installed android SDK, but never tried to ADB my nook. Yesterday I tried it, and whenever I try to connect via IP, or use adb devices, nothing shows up. I tried messing with the firewall, but it was not working at all.
Does anybody have any idea to help me? And also on how to get my firewall back (removed Norton, which I believe is a bloating spyware, and installed avast antivirus, but firewall was not released either, and it gives a 0x80070424 error).

Try this
Attach the usb cable to the NST and see if it is visible in device manager. Ideally if no driver is installed, you would just see it there with an exclamation mark.
Then follow ros87's instructions here. If adb_usb.ini doesnt exist create it.
Then from device manager, update device drivers for the unrecognized nook and point it to the i386/amd folder within the android drivers folder.
once that is done, restart adb, run "adb usb", then try "adb devices". If it worked it should show you the device.

ADB wifi was easier. In fact, it was such a long time since I last used it (before 1.1.1), that I forgot to add the adbwireless button to turn it on.
But thanks anyway. I've never dared to use USB due to inner messiness of the process.
