Getting Nexus One ADB/USB Mount working (Driver)

Download This file and extract.
hit Windows Key + r
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.

Using the RUU Issues

Hero had a hardware fault w/ the SD slot(good thing too! I dropped it last week and had a bit of rub on the top left that was bothering the hell out of me)
Was going to go get it replaced tonight, but for some damn reason the RUU won't work.
I have the latest RUU(1.56?)
Tried with phone w/ and without USB debugging
Went into fastboot mode(which made W7 install drivers for Android 1.0?) yet the RUU still won't recognize the phone.
I'm not computer illiterate, I'm just having problems with this damn RUU.
Halp?

What's the error you're getting?

The RUU basically says like
"Finding your Android Device" for about 30 seconds then says it cannot find it.

error 170...
ahh we meet again
i've helped a few people through this but i don't want to spoil the fun..
read this
all the way through it has the steps needed to get you up and going.

ok try this.
type "adb devices"
if that sees your phone type reboot into fastboot then type "fastboot devices"
if that sees your phone then run the ruu

adb devices sees it.
boot into fastboot, fastboot devices sees it.
run the RUU, error 170 still >_<

For some of the people running into problems with Windows 7 you may want to try:
1. Right-click on the executable file "ARUWizard.exe" and then go to "properties"
2. I believe there is a tab called "Compatibility" or something, click on it.
3. there should be a place for you to click next to a "run this program in compatibility mode" put a check there
4. below that there should be a drop down box, try choosing "Windows XP SP3" (or something similar to that)
5. near the bottom should be a place to check "run as administrator" check that.
6. click "ok" and then try running the program again.
I'm in front of a windows xp computer right now, not windows 7, so excuse me if i don't remember the options correctly, but I should be pretty close.
I also don't even know if this will work, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Possible resolutions would be:
1) Putting it in to fast boot and trying it again. Check your error log if it fails and seeing if it identified your phone this time.
2) Open a command prompt and "cd" to the folder where your \sdk\tools\ folder and type in "adb devices" and hit enter and see if it sees your phone. If not then that's your problem. If it DOES see your phone then enter the following command
3) adb shell reboot oem-78 -- that will reboot your phone in to RUU-ready fastboot. If you had the RUU still open then close it. Then open it and try running again.

Just had a thought.. after updating my HTC Sync software the adb included with my RUU might be out of date. I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe from C:\AndroidSDK\Tools and overwrote the files in the RUU folder. Then I ran it without a hitch.. weird, eh?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Tried the first two things, neither helped
I figured out part of the problem though. I had to dig up some 64 bit drivers.
I got the RUU to recognize my phone and it sends it to the bootloader and gets stuck on Waiting for bootloader then errors 170 out.
I'll try copying the files over now.

Replacing those 3 files did the trick!
Thanks

no problem, when i did it i tried all of those steps at once, so i wasn't sure which one fixed it for me. so now (in theory) it should work for you on that machine every time.

wont run and get "ARUGlobal.dll can not be found" even tho im looking right at it....

fastboot help?

in cmd
fastboot devices (shows my serial) but when I try to fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-herring.img it keeps saying error: device not found and I cant for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I have tweeted a few people with no luck...

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

[GUIDE] Fix MTP driver installation on Windows 10

Hi guys and girls...
I already wrote this guide in the Pixel XL forum. I'm adding it here for convenience, since our devices share (i guess?!) the same hardware for some part. Feel free to ask a MOD to delete it if i'm wrong...
I recieved my Pixel XL almost two weeks ago. Plugged it into an old Windows 7 x64 laptop and Windows instantly updated the driver. On a 2016 Dell E7450 Windows 10 x64 laptop... It didn't. Tried the Google USB drver package, but it didn't work either. Windows reports about a problem with an INF file and doesn't finalize the driver install...
I just saw someone reported the same issue in Q/A. I thought it would be a good idea to write a step by step guide.
Click to show the guide below:
Right click on the Windows start menu icon and select Device manager:
From here plug your Pixel using your USB cord to your computer. Pull the notification bar on your Pixel and tap on:
USB charging this device
Tap for more options
From the menu, select:
Transfet files
From here, you should see an "Unknown device" or an "MTP device" with an exclamation mark.
Right click on the device and select "Update driver software":
Click: "Browse my computer for driver software:
Click: Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer:
Scroll down till you find "LeMobile Android Device" and select it:
Here, select the second option: "MTP USB device"
Success
Now recognized in device manager:
In "This PC":
Hopefully, it will help some people.

But what to do when MTP-USB-Device isnt there ??

In MTP mode is sais "MTP" and in PTP mode it sais "Nexus 5X" (i have an Nexus 5x).
On my Laptop is sais "LeMobile ADB Composite" or something similar and there it works. But on my Desktop i have the new Win10 Creator Updates and on my Laptop i still have the regular Win10. Before the Creators Update it worked on my Desktop, so since then there is something "broken".

Picture 1: In the Device manager is sais "MTP".
Picture 2: When installing it via "search from a list" the usual "MTP-USB-Device" option is missing.
Picture 3: When installing it via browsing for the google-drivers from Google it sais *MTP couldnt be installed. Windows couldnt find drivers for this device.*
So both methods from picture 2 and 3 which normally should work don't work for me :/.

I saw this also before. I don't have this file. I downloaded it from a homepage, copied it in there and tried to install it, but installing it failed. But i don't know how to officially get this file into the INF-folder besides just copying in there which doesnt work (actually i think it worked a year ago where i had this problems as well but it doesnt work anymore).
I have Windows N and the Media FEature Pack KB .....81 installed, so this isn't the problem either.

Hey,
Either it must be a simple fix and i can't troubleshoot it properly as i'm not in front of your computer, or part of the stuff missing in Windows N is not included in the pack you installed.
Keep searching. Post in the windows help forum. See if a real tech figured a way of fixing the issue.
I'm really sorry.
Good luck...
