ADB Drivers for XP - Droid X General

Searched everywhere... couldn't find anything.
The drivers for ADB must be different for windows xp... no? When trying to use the the .inf file for the drivers from the package in the windows vista/7 thread, I get the following message:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware

Click to collapse
I looked around for a different XP driver package but couldn't find one. Everythings up and running great on my home box running windows 7... but I'd like to get all set up here at work on the XP box as well.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

As far as I know Moto only has 2 sets of drivers tha twork on any version of windows. You jus thave to make sure you have the right set depensing on the OS. They have them separarte at 32bit or 64bit.
Anywhoo I have used both sets from this link and have no trouble. Reason I say that is at work my comp is still XP, but at home the laptop is Win7 64bit
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

sadly... same result with those drivers. get the following message when trying to use the .inf files with those packages:

Don't try using the *.inf. Install the app, then go to programs in XP and run the Moto driver installation to clean, then clean and reinstall and you should be good to go. Personally in all my experience I've never had good luck pointing to the *.inf

thanks for the info. tried that and again... no dice. it sucks, but i guess it's not a huge deal. i can adb in from my win7 box no problem. would just be nice to know i could do it from this xp box as well.
oh well! thanks anyway for trying to help though!

This just makes no sense. Be tha tas it may try this link out and grab the drivers they have posted there and see if it does the trick.

ya... i agree. i could see the drivers not working, but the message saying that the file doesn't even have info on my device is just weird.
the drivers in that post are the first ones i tried. they worked great on my win7 box at home... but same message here on the XP box.

yea it is odd t osay the least. and the even more weird part is I have 2 comps setup with the same OS's you have and don't have the trouble. there has got to be something corrupted or casuing the XP box to not work right for whatever reason.
One suggestion I'd have is to compeltely uninstall the drivers. then grab a copy od CCleaner which is free mind you and run the registry scan to clear up unneeded crap left behind. I'd run it a couple of times until nothing else shows up on the list. Once done reboot the comp and then try the drivers again and see what you get. Ccleaner does a grea tjob of cleaning up the registry and I've used it many times for friends trying to clean things up for them when they have issues.

In order to get adb you need android sdk files which are located here... Android SDK

have sdk installed already. i was running my dinc off of the XP box before i got the DX... so sdk is already installed and ready to go.
i'll try a full driver clean-out tomorrow (if i have time) and see if that might work. it's just odd that the .inf file isn't registering with windows as being associated with the phone. seems to me that if it was a problem with an already installed driver, the new driver just wouldn't work after installed. the problem here is that i can't even get XP to accept the .inf file as one that works with the phone.
anyway... will play around with it tomorrow as time permits (after all... the xp box is my work machine. lol).
thanks gents for the input.

I had the same issue with my work pc which is xp pro. If you pm me ill give you the process to fix your problem when I get into work tomorrow. -Insta

FYI for others... the hardware ID's change for each of the USB connection modes. I just saved as two separate .inf files... one for charge only and one for mass storage mode.
Anyway, awesome instructions. Thanks again!

Insta. Can I be the father of your children? I love you that much..... haha!

Ok...that was freakin amazing!!!! I was busting my head all day at work trying to figure out why it wouldnt work.
Thanks so much!!

Also wanted to add my thanks, worked for me too.

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01

Insta I can really use some help. I was so glad to find this thread and prayed it would work. I tried your instructions to the t but maybe i didnt understand something. when i went to update the drivers and pointed windows to the edited inf file it gave me an error saying the folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible driver blah blah. UGHHHH If only you could hear me screaming I HATE WINDOWS!!! Ok calm now, sorry for that. Please let me know what im doing wrong. Thanks

Once you plug in your phone, go to device manager>android phone>hardware>update driver (or something like that) and when you go to update the driver, choose "let me choose from a specific file" but don't browse to the file, at the bottom somewhere it says "let me pick from a list" or somethin, choose that. Then click the option to list all drivers. Then find Google under the manufacturer column, click on that and you should see a driver on the right called ADB Interface or something close to that. Choose that and click next. It will ask to make sure you want to install it to your phone because it could be wrong, obviously click yes. It will install and it should work.

[Q] Problem updating the ADB drivers

Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

Been trying to get the driver to work on my W8 laptop for my E3D. This worked for it after spending hours trying all sorts. Thanks a million. I will be sure to go through to the other thread and say thanks too.
If only I saw this before I spent hours last night trying to get adb to recognise my phone. I somehow got there in the end but this would've saved me a good two hours!

i can't install a driver for the MTP device. should it be in that zip? i'm trying to get it to install from that directory and it says it can't find a driver for it....
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
Here's what I'm doing
- Uninstall all current drivers & HTC Sync
- Restart PC
- Your method exactly
- Restart PC
Phone when on normally connects to adb just fine,
but when I put it into the bootloader it takes around 15 seconds to detect it and then says it's unrecognised and gives the error below:
Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Any help would be appreciated. For now, I'm running a copy of W7 on an old 2.5" drive... not ideal.
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
@petedavison93 and the owner of this thread, did you guys find a fix to pete's issue as I'm having the same issue as Pete, please help!
Had the same issue and installed different drivers several times without luck.
It was fixed for me by simply plugging in the phone into an USB port at the motherboard. The front USB and additional USB3 ports at the PC were not working, when the device is booted to the bootloader. They are working with adb only, when the phone is running normal.
I am running Win8x64.

Anyone happen to know where I can find some windows 7 32bit drivers. Windows 8 32bit isn't a fan of 64bit software.
It isn't a problem with the HTC drivers. It's the usb drivers from Ms for Intel 3.0 bus. I found a thread that I'm searching again for that give the instructions on replacing the signed ms driver with an unsigned win 7 64bit host controller driver. It's two files and you need to first allow unsigned drivers in windows security. Needless to say it's fine now on my 3 ports.

[Q] Help with USB Drivers for Nook Simple Touch

The current project I am trying to work on is trying to get USB mode to work on a rooted NST with NookManager. I have found a guide somewhere else, but it requries pushing boot and uimage files from ADB. I have tried everything I could, even using Ubuntu in Vbox but I haven't been successsful yet. For whatever reason, the USB isn't being read in Vbox-Ubuntu correctly and can't be mounted.
I have done everything I could to install the USB drivers on Windows properly, but I haven't had any luck. I have scoured the forums, but I couldn't find anything. What I need help is how to uninstall what I have reinstall correctly. I have tried the uninstall fuction in device manager but if there is a better way of doing this I haven't found anything. Can anyone help? Point me in the right direction at least? I hope if i can at least get the drivers installed correctly and adb devices to read it properly, I can figure out how to do everything else. It's just that one hurdler I'm having issues with.
I am running win 8.1 pro but willing to use ubuntu if necessary.
I should also mention what I have done. I Have altered the android_winusb.inf and the adb_usb.ini files, which sort of worked, but I still have yellow exclamations ove the device names.
Well, what do the Yellow Warnings say?
The first step is to get the category in Device Manage "Android Devices" (or "Android Phones") with a device listed under it.
If you have yellow, what driver does it say it has loaded?
It should be using WinUSB.sys
What does it say when you try to reload drivers?
If it suggest "Composite USB Device" accept that.
If you are using the latest version of adb.exe (819,200 bytes) it will already have the vendor ID in it for Nook.
You will not have to modify adb_usb.ini (not that it will hurt anything).
The first step is to get the driver installed (obviously).
abd.exe should be able to connect.
If you have a problem you could try omaplink.exe as an independent check of ADB.

Anyhow, the category is "Other Devices - Nook SimpleTouch"

The modified .inf file has to be where it was originally.
That is, in the same directory as:

It's in the adt-bundle folder under ~sdk/extras/google/usb_driver. Should it be in the i386 folder?
I just meant that you can't take android_winusb.inf from where it was, edit it, plunk it down somewhere else and try to run it from there.
I don't know about "adt-bundle".
Do those 4 files listed above appear together in the same relative positions?
When you try to update the driver keep saying NO until you get to the "Have disk" button.
Renate, your questions helped me figure it out.
Yes all the files are where they are suppose to be in the same relative position that you outlined.
So i did this to get the "Have Disk Button"
I first did a right click "Update Driver software
1. Browse for driver on computer.
2. Clicked "let me pick from a list of device drivers"
3. A windows that says "Select your device type from the list below:"
4. List gives options includes Show all devices, ADB Interface, Android Device
5. I chose Android Device: It gave me a selection of devices and Nook Android Interface was there. I selected that and installed.
6. I then went to the command tutorial and typed in adb devices and I got the serial numbers.
I wrote this out for future refence for myself, and in the hopes it will help someone else.
thank you so much Renate! You were a huge help! I can't wait to start using your USB Host!

Window caches the driver inf files and you could have had a bad one.

I just recieved my new phone a few days 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.
@ppd0526 proposed an easier solution to fix the issue:
Please if you use this solution, don't forget to say thanks to him in this post: THANKS

1. Go to C:\Windows\INF
2. Find the file "wpdmtp.inf"
3. Right click the file and click 'Install'
4. Once that is done, simply plug your phone and it should work.

Uninstalled the driver and reinstalled using this method works fine! :good:
If someone has difficulty with the above or it doesn't work (which it should) i leave the one below just in case...
Click to show the guide:
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.
Awesome, thanks! After several months with my phone, this just happened to me yesterday and I couldn't figure it out. The Google USB driver reinstall didn't work for me either, but this did!
As a suggestion, it's quicker to get to Device Manager by right clicking on the gear icon (Start) and selecting Device Manager.

Hooray... Thanks for the suggestion. I'm such a n00b when it comes to shortcuts... Edited to save the extra clicks.

Hey... I once had a similar issue with a printer in the past and found this solution on the internet. So when it reappeared with the Pixel, I thought i would try as well. In the end it worked. That's all. I'm glad you sorted it out.
I actually just helped a friend out with this. There is an easier fix then having to go through all that and add a known device.
1. Go to C:\Windows\INF
2. Find the file "wpdmtp.inf"

4. Once that is done, simply plug your phone and it should work.

Nice... Maybe you can open another thread? Or want me to add it to the OP?

Adding it to the OP as an alternate method is fine. Better to keep the information consolidated.

Yeah you're right.
By the way, i just tried to uninstall my computer's driver and installed it with your method! Everything's alright.
Thank you...
My PC doesn't have this file wpdmtp.inf
Uninstalled the device and driver. Reconnected and let Windows update driver. Now it works.
Thank you Soo much. It worked exactly like it says in the OP.
This guide doesn't work anymore. MTP Device and MTP USB Device are no longer the menu options. Uninstalling the device doesn't work. You just end up with the exact same MTP with the exclamation point as before.

Yes! This works! WooHoo.... just had to uninstall all previous drivers first at the device manager.
Thanks, this worked!

Thank you sooo much :victory:, I actually didn't have the wpdmtp.inf in C:\Windows\Inf but I had this folder (link) containing a couple of android drivers and there was wpdmtp.inf file in it, I right clicked and installed it and VOILLAA!!... :laugh: everything went perfect after that. If for any reason you still face MTP problems after this I would recommend to do a manual installation of MTP drivers by going to "Device Manager", click MTP entry with exclamation then "Update Driver Software"->"Browse my computer for driver", navigate to the folder location where you extracted the drivers (link).... you should be done after that. If otherwise you face a problem along the lines of "section in this INF is invalid" while doing manual installation dreboot your PC and find the wpdmtp.inf again, right click then install and you would have fixed your problem. :good:
THANKS!
Oh man! Finally, FREAKING FINALLY, I found a solution that works. Thank u so so so much.
Thank you! This tip worked for me!
I have been having this issue for almost a year, if I wanted pictures and files from my phone, I had to get them from the cloud. Today was the first time in a very long time, that I was able to just copy over files from the phone again from Windows Explorer. THANK YOU!
trying these methods is still failing for me... shows "Pixel" in device manager.. if I try to update drive.. it says either can't find.. or failed...
and if i turn on Transfer Files.. Device manager shows ADB and MTP under "Other" but both fail when trying to update drivers..
YES!!!
