Hello, I install the android SDK correctly and install all correct drivers, all correct files from the google repository, and reading on unlockr, you need to type CMD and enter a few commands, the final one being ADB devices, which is meant to bring up your device serial/id but doesnt show nothing for me, i deleted all drivers with a program, and it re-installs them, I put the phone into debug mode too, but whatever i try, i cant root my magic (32B), please help!!!!
i have followed every single guide but cant blooming root my phone!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
I've searched the forums (honestly), but I can't find an answer to my problem.
I have a Vodafone branded 32B phone.
I installed the AndroidSDK as supposed to, added the path, made the phone root, booted into the recovery console using fastboot and flashed my phone with different operating systems... but during all this time I hever got ADB to work.
Whatever I do, adb never finds the phone. Fastboot works and finds it, when it's in fastboot mode, but ADB never. So, I can't permanently install the recovery console nor do any of the other funky stuff.
ADB doesn't work when the phone is in fastboot mode nor normally operating. I have USB Debugging turned on. The phone works normally and I can access the SDCard just fine.
Any help?
Suggestion.
Look into purchasing a G1 to be kept as a spare and used for development. That's what I've done with my G1. GParted is within most recovery images nowadays, therefore you can do most anything there, well...important functions that is. Keep that in mind.
You might need to uninstall the driver that recognizes your phone, then manually install the updated driver.

that's what i had to do to get it to recognise my phone.
i'm pretty sure the driver came with SDK. either way i've attached the one i used.
go into device manager and update the driver it's currently using with the attached one.
Incorrect driver.
It should be the 1st driver listed in the Android SDK file.
As far as I know, you could also choose to push ADB to your system32 file folder under the C: drive in your computer. That is if you're using a Windows machine.
just a thought
Are you on windows or linux? If you're in ubuntu try sudo adb ... the default unprivilaged user doesnt automatically have access to the device.
If you're in Windows I would uninstall the Android Phone device in device manager and reboot with the phone disconnected. Then connect it and install the usb driver from the sdk when prompted. Might also pay to download the sdk again.
Install HTC Sync
Another known way to fix the issue is to download and install HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=573&news_id=169
This seems to install the correct drivers

Hey Guys,
Forgot to mention I'm on Windows Vista 64 bits.
That last suggestion did the trick. I went to the site and downloaded the HTCDriverUpdate_Vista_64bits.exe, and within seconds I had an ADB connection.
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
I'm following the instructions for how to prepare my Magic to load a new ROM from the Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking) but I'm having problems with ADB not recognising the device.
If I boot into Fastboot mode, and use fastboot devices my phone is listed, but adb devices returns no results.
1) is it necessary to have adb working?
2) If so, any suggestions as to why it's not?
I've followed the instructions to the letter so far, and I'm worried that my phone might be a pre-production model (I review phones for a magazine - I want to try new ROMs so I can report on the new features in 1.6 and later as they come out.)
When booted normally, in Device Manager under Device Instance Path I see:
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01\6&29B48A3A&0&0001
Dunno if this helps, but the Wiki says something about changing the driver .ini file - I can't find this .ini file either, where would I look?
BTW I'm running Windows 7 release.

I had this problem and what I had to do was:
be sure no USB drives/memory cards were connected
connect the phone
uninstall USB Mass storage device from device manager under usb controllers
disconnect/reconnect the phone
install the driver from the sdk/usb_driver folder
Thanks, but...
I tried this, but still not luck with adb. I now see a new "ADB Interface" section in Device Manager, and an "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" device underneath, but adb devices command still returns no devices.
Sorted!
Well, I'm not sure how but I managed to get it to work, and am now the proud owner of a Magic running Cyanogen mod
ok so i have done lots and lots of research on this because as it turns out you need the android sdk for just about everything.. i dont know if it is just me or im not reading sumthin correctly or i jus dont understand but i read the instructions over and over agen on how to install this dam thing and it never works.. can somebody please help me intall this?
Lot of people install it so it does work. The trick is uninstalling the windows driver and replacing it with the adb driver. I assume that's what you want to use. "Install" I think is the wrong word to use, because you don't install anything in the sdk except the driver.
cd to the path of adb.exe in the command prompt. The inital command is 'adb devices' it will show the serial number so you know the phone is detected.
i type that in the cmd and it just says list of devices attached then theres nuthin attached to it.. i read through the instructions on the android website several times and all it really tells me about getting the sdk is adding the full path to the tools\ directory path.. i did this and then what do i do after?
Did you activated "debugging" in USB-Options?
on the phone or on the pc? i have it turned on on my phone but if that is even possible to do on a pc then no i dont...
Hi guys.
Sorry for this noobish post, but i cannot remember for the life of me on how to install things by using 'adb' - i know there is an option on the phone, but where bouce is it? I used it when rooting, but i just cant find it.
I'm trying to install a new boot image, but when i go into cmd i type "adb remount" and the reply is "device not found"... AndroidSDK is in my C directory.
Another EDIT; I just rebooted my device into the recoverymode, and i didn't see ndroid back up thing, does that mean my phone hasn't actually been rooted... - But my phone is deffently debranded.
Thanks if anyone can help my noobish style.
Slim.
When in recovery mode you must have the driver installed. If you enter 'adb devices' it should give you the serial number of your device, if the driver is installed correctly.
To enter the recovery menu you must run the recovery-windows.bat from modaco if using windows or a similiar file (recovery-linux.sh, recovery-mac.sh) according to your operating system. The file should be run when in recovery-mode or else it returns a whole bunch of errors.
Awesome, thanks mate. Just what i needed! Could i have advice what driver i need to be able to acsess the adb?
I just use the driver supplied in the newest version of ADB.
You can get it here. usb_driver.rar
Or else just install HTC Sync from htc.com. It also has the driver files needed.
Remember to have USB Debuging enabled from the Programs/Development menu.
