Getting Nexus One ADB/USB Mount working (Driver)

Download This file and extract.

Type in devmgmt.msc
right click on nexus one
click update
update from location on computer.
select that folder.

404 not found...

Updated sorry about that.

and what is ADB?

android device bridge (i think)
its a program on your PC that gives you control over your android phone. you can flash partitions, push/pull files, go to shell, etc.

It also gives you the ability to mount your sd card and use droid explorer.

I love you. Seriously...

It did for me.

Didnt accept that file for me in Windows XP

In order to use this in vista 64-bit or win7 64-bit put your computer in test mode like this:
-Start>Run>type CMD>Enter
-type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" without the quotes>Enter
-Reboot
-Computer should say "Test Mode" in one of the corners
Mine says it in the bottom right.

For the life of me i can't get this to work. Whenever I plug up the phone to the computer, windows automatically installs a driver. When I try to update, it says the best driver is already in use. ADB not working. Tried uninstalling and same cycle happens over and over. It must be something small and stupid that i'm missing, can anyone help out?
windows vista by the way 32 bit

Hmm any thought for linux users?

Never mind. I'm an idiot. (Don't forget to enable USB debugging!)

Got the nexus plugged in through USB in debugging mode, installed this driver. When I do adb remount I get error message: "error: device not found"
What am I doing wrong? Does this driver not work for Windows XP?

Getting Nexus One ADB/USB Mount working
I have downloaded & unzip the file. But what's the "hit Windows Key + r" you mean I need to run? And the rest of the comment below. Please kindly provide more details.
Type in devmgmt.msc
right click on nexus one
click update
update from location on computer.
select that folder.
P.S. I'm using Windows XP. Eclipse simple can't detect my Nexus One phone even I have the USB debugging turn on. Please kindly help.

I'm getting the same problem, except I keep uninstalling the drivers and trying to use the ones I downloaded from here. I believe it is using the drivers I downloaded but cannot connect to the phone.
I have under device manager: a usb composite device that I cannot change, USB mas storage device, which I cannot change, and the Nexus one ADB driver which installed no problem. Still getting the same error, even with USB debugging clicked.
I keep trying to update the USB mass storage device and the usb composite device associated with the phone, but it keeps saying the best drivers are in use. The nexus one driver worked but still no adb.

The Droid??
This is X10 forum

There is a Program called "RemoteSMS" were you can write SMS from your Computer. To "control" the Phone from PC (install , uninstall *.apk etc) is a tool too (forgot the Name) but for that you need root :-d , which we dont have atm

Or you can use androidscreencast.jnlp, see attachment.
To launch open cmd and type: javaws androidscreencast.jnlp (Note, you must have adb installed. For further info download android sdk)
Forgot to mention your phone must be connected through USB

Please give us a guide on how to get this thing to work.
I have downloaded the Android SDK and installed the Android 1.6 and 2.2 stuffs in the SDK program. But not sure what to do next.

If you have installed the Android SDK, open a command prompt and switch to the android tools directory:
for example:
Code:
cd D:\android\tools <-- this is the tools directory I use
Can also be:
cd X:\*path to SDK*\tools
then use
adb devices
This is to see if your device is connected through usb
You should see this:
Code:
List of devices attached
*Some product number* device
In my case:
List of devices attached
HT9A6LG05799 device
Then execute:
Code:
javaws androidscreencast.jnlp
And it should open a java screen and then show your android screen on the computer.
Also make sure you have the latest Java installed, which can be found here:
javadl . sun . com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=39502
One note though: the screen needs to be enabled, so not in sleep mode
I hope this works, it works for me, but I'm using an HTC Tatto instead of a SE X10, so I'm not able to check this for the X10 yet.

Murch, that doesn't seems to work for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10. I don't get up the device list to the X10 no matter what i do.
So can anyone else try this out with an X10 to see if this is the case?.
Nvm, i found out by looking here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=196304

Found Fix For This Issue
I had the same issue after upgrading to MIUI 2.3.4. Computer didnt know what the device was anymore, so could not run ADB commands to the device.
1. Open SDK Manager
2. Update all packages (Make sure to include Google USB drivers Rev 4)
3. Run through the window prompts to find it
4. When windows fails to find the driver browse manually
5. Find the directory where your SDK is installed to
6. Select the folder and Install

[USB Drivers] Galaxy S GT-I9000 (Working on ICS)

Hello.
And bacon and spam:
I've recently upgraded my SGS to ICS (ICSSGS ROM) and started to develop a simple application.
So, now i've got to the point that the emulator starts to show its limitations, so i need to debug directly on the real device.
Well, i've been trying to make ADB recognize my phone, tried several usb drivers from several sites, none of them worked.
After several hours spanking windows, it's finally working (yes! almost 6 AM in the morning!).
What matters:
So, to anybody who have the same problem as i had, do the following:
0. Uninstall any drivers that you've tried before.
1. Extract the zip file that i've uploaded to anywhere you like.
2. Enable debugging on your phone and connect it to PC throught the USB cable
(Just connect it, don't mount)
3. On your computer, click Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> Manage
This will open the "Computer Management" window (it might take some seconds to load).
4. Click "Device Manager". Now you should find your device in the list. It must be really easy to find. It's called something like "GT-I9000" or "GalaxyS" and it has a yellow warning sign next to it.
5. Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software". In the window that appears, choose "Browse my computer for driver software". It then asks you where is the driver.
6. Click the "Browse" button and choose the folder you extracted from my zip file.
(If you didn't change it, it must be called "Android Composite ADB Interface")
7. Click "Next" and cross your fingers. If you're lucky, it may work for you.
Final notes:
1. I'm not responsible for ANYTHING. Whatever you do, it's your own choise to do it. I guarantee absolutely nothing.
2. This is was tested on Windows 7 - 64 bits with Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM and Semaphore ICS 0.9.1 Kernel.
3. Have fun.
4. If you try this, please answer the topic and tell everybody if it's working for you (mentioning your Windows version and what ROM you use).

Missing file when installing driver on windows 7 x64
Hi,
I have recently installed the most recent Dark Knight ICS 4.0.4 build to my Samsung Galaxy S. The ROM seems very good but I'm an android app developer and need to be able to debug my applications on the device via USB.
I have tried the driver provided in the thread which won't install due to a missing file according to the Windows 7 x64 driver install wizard. The exact message is displayed after step 7 and says:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
"Android Composite ADB interface"
"The system cannot find the file specified".
Is there a file missing in the package? Has anybody managed to get this driver working?
Cheers,
Ben

Does it say that it doesn't find a controller or that is there a missing file?
Anyway, please try this installer and let me know if it works for you:

What's wrong with the Nexus S drivers available with Android SDK?
Google USB driver, R4 developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
The SGS will present it self like that when it is running ICS/CM7/CM9.

Nevertheless thanks for your approach. I'll test if it works with the SDK Updater.

I'm going to test in my desktop this weekend to check if it works with it.

I have the same problem, but with WIndows 7 32 bit. Drivers from discusion doesn't work. Don't you have some for 32 bit?
I found SDK Components on developer.android.com, where is Android driver which suppose to work, but unfortunately ODIN still do not see phone.

I also have the same problem but mine is worse because my phone is completely down after I tried to restore from a GB ndriod backup failure , phone won't boot , cannot boot into recovery only in download mode but no way my 4 x computers would detect the phone now ....tried using heimdall in linux as well as sdb, no go....so sad...help...

Using Google USB drivers finally worked for me. They can be optionally installed with Android SDK using SDK manager (extras). After installation drivers can be found in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver.
Just follow the instructions in the first post to find your device from device manager with exclamation mark. Need at least one reboot to work and I also redirected the driver installation process to Google usb driver directory but now ADB finally recognizes my SGS (MyICS, Android 4.0.3).
Edit: Operating system Vista 64-bit
[Currently stuck in "error: device not found" while trying adb push -command. I will update if I find a workaround. Probably something to do with inf-file.]
For alternate .inf -file (optional):
Google "usb-drivers-not-working-after-flash-latest-rom-ota" and see post #12 to see alternative inf-file. Some have managed to make adb recognize the device with that file, but I have at least this far been unsuccessful.
Edit: Problem above was caused by me being stupid and trying to use push in shell, which caused phone unable to locate host system folders. I don't know if that inf file has anything to do with drivers working now, but go ahead and try it if doesn't work with the original .inf

I got my i9000 recognized using the latest drives from the Google sdk

That‘s great

What should i do after instaling SDK

This worked for me

The very important thing is that newest Google USB driver is in
Code:
[B]<android-sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/[/B]
location, not in
Code:
<android-sdk>/usb_driver
It really makes the difference !

these drivers only worked once...
all the other times killing and starting over adb i was getting error messages like "device not found" and "protocol fault" even though adb devices was listing the device online.
apparently i connected the phone to another USB3 port on my pc (front panel) and that was it!! it now works every time i type adb shell or adb devices.i no longer get any error messages.rather weird
anyway..i also wanted to be up to date with everything so i uninstalled all related software like the older java 6 jdk, Android SDK and the drivers mentioned above.
i followed the procedure below and installed all the latest packages:
latest java 7u5 JDK, the latest Android SDK (nstaller_r20.0.1-windows.exe) then ran sdk-manager and loaded http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver google USB drivers rev 6. then installed these drives so i got the ADB composite interface on my device manager and it all works fine now.

I recenelty installed latest ICS , and SDK recognizes my phone as ACER ADB , when I'm pretty sure its a Samsung I9000 . I tried uninstalling the ACER ADB and install the one that the guy posted in the first post , and it didn't work , it said this driver is not compatible , oddly it reinstalled ACER ADB though. I can't even uninstall it at all , I removed all my Samsung drivers , and everything else I installed for Samsung , and its still there , I even tried removing the GOOGLE USB drivers , still there.
Neendless to say that the phone doesnt connect to the PC at all even though it says everything is alright. For example i got ths gPAD app , which uses the USB with Debugging to turn the phone into a mouse , but it says its not connected even though it is.

Error: Device not found!!

Hi,
I installed ADB from here.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
I moved on to C:/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219/sdk/platform-tools
Then hold shift & right click "open command window here".
Now moving to my phone setting,
1. Developers Options-->checked on USB Debugging.
2. Security Option--> checked on Unknown Sources.
With all the options seems ok, when I tried to backup my sdcard content through ADB I got "Error: device not found" in the cmd.
Please help guys....

Do you have the correct drivers installed? Try the 0.72 naked drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875.

I have downloaded these naked drivers. But how to install it on my lappy??
It's in ".zip" file.
Secondly, in my device manager I got yellow icon on my Nexus 4(windows default colour of unavailability of drivers). Possibly due to this drivers I am not able to backup content from mako sdcard.

Why not just use the ones Google intended for you to use, they work perfectly. The flag is your problem, you need to point it to the drivers you want to use. This thread should be very helpful. Same drivers.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108

When adb is open, type in
Code:
adb version
If it does not return "Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31" (Or higher/newer), download the attachment (Works for my Nexus 4)
View attachment adb.zip
If it still doesn't work, download the Google ADK and install the Google USB driver through the SDK manager
