Two quick questions; any help is much appreciated. As a newbie I am unable to get adb to detect my device; running 'adb devices' always yields an empty list under Windows 7. Searching different threads lead me to the recommendation to uninstall the mass storage device driver with USBdeview and then reinstall with the android usb driver (which is said to be under tools in the SDK); however, I can't find the driver file anywhere., nor is there an USB available package in the SDK. If someone could point me in the correct direction regarding how to run adb I'd be much appreciative; I have the SDK installed and the adb daemon appears to be running.
A quick second question is if I can get the device to be detected under adb, can mass storage driver and the android driver run simultaneously? Thanks again.

i downloaded "pda net " to my windows 7 64 bit pc when i was having the same usb issue, it then recognized my adb device(of course you have to uninstall the drivers that windows assigned to it first)... question 2 is yes!

You can always try Wireless ADB:

You mentioned that you had to first uninstall the drivers that Windows assigned to it first.
Would you please share how you went about doing that? I've been stuck on this part (adb not recognizing my device) for quite a while now and can't seem to get past it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much for the replies.....
Thanks. I tried each one but only the pad net worked. Regarding the second reply, there was no usb_driver folder in my Android SDK folder. I downloaded the inf file anyway but when I pointed to it during installation it gave me a 'file not found' error although it recognized the driver. PDA net worked fine. The adb wireless widget connected to my PC but the list of devices remained blank.
Thanks again for l the suggestions; perhaps as I become more knowledgeable I'll appreciate why the first and third suggestions didn't work, but I really appreciate your willingness to help.

The reason you had no usb driver folder is because the android sdk was not fully setup. You need to run the sdk setup file in the android sdk folder first and download the rest of it. There are a bunch of different packages available. Follow the prompts.
To connect by wifi you need to use one of the adb wifi widgets on your tablet. When it is ready it should give you an address to connect to.
Then on your pc from a command line change the directory to your tools folder in the android sdk. Then type adb connect "address from adb wifi widget" and hit enter. Should then connect.

Thanks again! The wireless adb directions worked, although I should note that adb.exe is in the "platform-tools" folder and most references suggest it should be in the "tools" folder.
I thought I had installed the SDK correctly using the .exe file but, after downloading a number of packages, no USB package was available. After seeing your post I uninstalled, downloaded the zip version, ran android.bat update SDK and it again installed available packages but no USB; these included Android SDK tools, rev 8, SDK Platform tools, rev 1, documentation for SDK API 9, SDK Platform for vers 1.5 - 2.3, and several sample packages. Under 'Available packages' no USB package is listed, and there no .inf file in any of the installed directories.
Any thoughts? Could the inf file be located somewhere else?

I have seen the same thing with the locations. I just copied the files in the platform-tools folder to the tools folder. Send me a pm with your email and i will send my USB folder if you want.
Hi. I 'figured' it out (if it could be called that). rather than click on 'update all' in SDK manager, I selected Android SDK tools, then clicked 'update all' which gave me a series of archives options, one of which included the USB package. This was very non-intuitive but worked.
Thanks!
Cool.. Don't forget to use the modded info file.

adb usb help!
I have the Mytouch 4G and i want to root it but im having a problem getting the adb driver to install in my system i'm running Windows 7 64x. when i open my comandprompt and type "adb devices" it SAYS "LISTED DEVICES" but no numbers iv uninstalled the drivers like discribed by theunlocker.com and reinstalled them and nothing changes. i look at what gets installed and the adb driver never gets sucsfuly installed.
[HOW TO] Get ADB to recognize your myTouch 4G
Options
11-08-2010 01:56 PM
Rather than reinvent the wheel, just going to "borrow" zapote21's excellent guide for setting up ADB, this time for the myTouch4G (if you're weird like me and immediately swapped out SDcards or just prefer not running exe files):
-----
I am going to assume that you have the SDK installed and that you have a clue as to what I am about to say...
If you dont understand this language, then you probably dont need to be trying to use ADB... lol
Go to the "usb_driver" folder in your SDK and find the *.inf file...
Use notepad++ to edit that file and add the following lines to the "[Google.NTx86]" and the "[Google.NTamd64]" sections:
;T-Mobile myTouch4G
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96&MI_01
;
Save the file, reinstall drivers, and done...
IF YOUR SDK DOES NOT HaVE A usb_driver folder you can find it here

hi guys im getting anoyed with my pc and phone now ive followed so meany tutorial etc on how to install adb but still not getting any where so far i have done
1. downloaded sdk from code.google.com
2. extracted to c:/android-sdk-windows
3.installed htc wildfire drivers
4.created a path on enviromentable variuble
5.ive loaded the skd.exe
6. ran cmd and ran adb and adb devices but my pc will not reconise this command any adice please thanks
ps ive also tryed using qtaADB it connect to the phone but dnt show any thing frustrated now lol thanks daddyspud
First download adb for windows from " http://developer.android.com/sdk/ ".
then u will get a file named " android-sdk_r08-windows ".rename it as "Android SDK" after extracting.
download proper driver for your phone and install them .now move "Android SDK" to root of hard drive that is to c\Android SDK...
now update the adb using SDK manager that is inside Android SDK.all packeges even usb drivers.
connect the phone via usb and windows should recognize it as android phone .
now take "cmd".command prompt and type the following code .
cd\
cd Android SDK\tools\
adb devices
Now Adb is set if it shows your phone code ..
Sorry about my english .
I had a hardtime making my computer recognize my wildfire, I had to manipulate the driver to make it find it. just google it and you shall find .. if thats the problem ..
thanks worked a dream cheers buddie
They changed the location of the adb.exe file with the new SDK release using the example given would be :-
cd\
cd Android SDK\platform-tools\
easier in my opinion to add to path in windows
c:\android sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
make sure u add java.exe to path aswell
Hope this helps

Well what do you want to do with adb?
run the sdk but i get errors when i start it "error 2" cant find file.
Failed to get the adb version.
Edit - Never mind i have sorted it.
I have updated the drivers on my kindle through ADB so now on my x64 Windows 7 it showes up as an Android phone USB driver/device but when running Adb Devices in the cmd through ADB no devices appear. I don't have the SDK or anything do I need it? Help if possible please .
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
When installing the drivers for the Kindle Fire Utility the CMD windows says can not find the path specified.
For my Kindle Fire:
Adb works on my desktop pc and that is what I have been using to adb. But my laptop doesn't see my kindle fire.
My laptop can see my android phone though. And works fine with it.
I installed the drivers from kindle fire utility, tried the others that people have been suggesting too. Still nothing for the fire.
The .inf file has all the right stuff for getting it to see a kindle fire. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers about 50 times and I can't see why it won't see it.
And KFU acts strange on my laptop. A lot of 'could not find specified file' etc.
I have Windows 7 64bit on my laptop. My desktop is 32bit which could be the difference.
What should I do?
I have Windows 7 64bit as well on my laptop and I got it to work just fine.
Here are the two things that you need to get it to work.
1. Drivers
Find your driver file ("android_winusb.inf"). It could be in couple of places depending on how you installed them. Make sure that Google.NTx86 and google.NTamd64 sections have the following code.
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
2. adb_usb.ini
You need to have 0×1949 somewhere in this file (%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini). You can easily add this by running this command in your command prompt.
echo 0×1949 >> “%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini”

I tried it. Still nothing.
I have two .android folders. One in C:/ and the other in D:/
Could this be a problem?
I had a similar issue but with a 32bit version of 7. My phone loaded up but my Kindle never would show using adb devices in command prompt. The fix for me was to Google and dowload the android sdk and install it. When I tried to open it it said something about Java runtime environment and other Java related things ( sorry I cant remember everything). After that it worked. I'd suggest starting at the sdk download and install. If that's doesn't help them I'm sorry. That was my experience. Good luck.

Open Run window and type in %USERPROFILE%. We are talking about .ANDROID folder in there.
