[Q] Hauwei Ascend M860 Why do you hate me? - Android Software Development

Ok,
So Ive been scouring the net to find out if there is anyway I can get my device to be recognized. So far I've tried:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, phone goes into storage mode and loads the drivers. although the drivers are not signed so windows refuses to load them, nice microsoft.
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, ok i've installed usb_modeswitch and setup a bunch of udev rules (attached) and I can get the device to be detected but not recognized ie if I execute
Code:
adb devices
I get
Code:
List of devices attached
???????????? device
if I try
Code:
adb shell
I get dropped right into the user shell on the device. *Nice* score one for linux, but this doesn't do me much good because if I try to bring up the dalvik monitor it refuses to recognize the device grrr bad linux
I've attached my udev rules and a listing from when I tried to start the dalvik monitor, if anybody has some idea how I can get either windows to load the provided drivers or ubuntu to recognize the device I would be eternally greatfull
Thanks
Tired and wear from trudging around the net all day

Is there away to adb on ubuntu live

I dont want to install linux for this one purpose of fixing my lcd density so i downloaded a live cd of ubuntu. Is there a way to use adb on here i tried one way and i had to extract files to the usr/bin which it wouldnt do ( i think because that exists on the disc so its not able to write) any help? maybe another way for adb on linux so i can fix that build.prop?!
you could run it in terminal:
in the adb's folder, run:
Code:
./adb [your command]
hey
i got the adb running the way u said to with adb in the folder. it still dose not show my device and my phone is in debug mode also. on linux it doesn't even show my sd card.
i put in abd devices and no device is shown. any help did i miss a step here.
I kinda have the same problem, I'm new to linux, and just finished installing Ubuntu on my laptop. The first thing I was thinking whether i needed a driver to install the phone like in Windows, or is there some "device manager" like plugin to find out more details on what devices need drivers or whats installed.
on my kaiser, adb doesn't work always. reboot your android if not.
You could see it with command:
Code:
lsusb
and/or
Code:
adb devices
hey thanks dark side just got a hero and couldn't be happier except for battery life my old vogue lasted longer lol (probably all the hero HTC stuff). But thanks for actually giving advice about the adb! no one else seemed to it drove me to get a hero! The sense ui is really great i didn't think i would like it because of how it felt on vogue. but actually its a really good thing. That sense ui from jamezelle is insane. its almost like it but after u leave an app it dose not loads again. if he some how gets that fixed it will be close to the hero. anyway everyone thanks for letting me experience android (dzo plemen, jamezelle and zen i tired your builds so this is to you). You helped with my decision to get a hero. Best phone i have ever owned! also to help anyone i think that if u plug your phone into windows 7 and then windows xp it can mess up your adb with the vogue that what happened to me... it let me see the files in windows 7 but after i hooked up to xp both became unable to use!

[Q] ADB Driver not installing

Hello everyone,
So I've installed ACER's adb drivers, but when I connect the tablet to my computer it shows up as an MTP device. I've tried updating the driver and manually browsing to the driver's location, but windows says that driver is not compatible with my device? BTW: I am running a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. It seems like everyone else's Iconia "just worked" with adb.
I've tried installing the acer drivers. It puts a folder in my Program Files directory...but I don't see what I'm supposed to do there. There's "EUUDriverInstaller" but when I click on it nothing (seems to) happens.
When I plug the device in it uses some generic Microsoft driver to show the device contents but composite adb doesn't show up at all like it does for my Droid.
I've reboot several times on both device and laptop. I've uninstalled / reinstalled the application that made that driver directory.
I opened an application in the driver directory under the x64 folder and it opened up the windows driver installer and installed some drivers...but still no composite adb when I plug it in.
It was called "dpinst" and installed:
Linux Developer Community Net
Acer, Inc (androidusb) USB
Google, Inc (WindUSB) USB
then a couple others about a modem and ports
It is on usb debugging and I've toggled it on and off.
It's running 3.1 stock and I'm on x64 Windows 7
Both command prompt adb devices is empty under "List of devices attached" and Eclipse devices is empty.
My sdk is fully updated.
Curiously it appears Acer hides the driver if you specify Honeycomb 3.1
If you're going to be playing around with development, I highly recommend installing a Linux distribution. Android is built upon Linux, and there are quite a few development tools which just work better under it. Anyway, if you try Linux, the udev rules for the iconia are:
UBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3325", MODE="0666", OWNER="user" #ACER
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3341", MODE="0666", OWNER="user" #ACER
where you replace "user" with your username, but keep it in quotes.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd rather not install another partition just to adb connect this tablet.
Some additional differences I've noticed.
It seems like the tablet is going straight to mounting if that means anything. Connecting my Droid doesn't bring up the Autoplay menu while connecting the tablet automatically asks me how I want to access the data in the autoplay menu. It does *say* usb debugging is on, but no "ACER composite ADB interface" appears in my device manager.
Edit:
It seems like my situation is comparable to this guy in regards to the device just being treated like a flash drive. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734139 He says the rom was the problem...but I can't see why this stock rom should have an issue.
I had the same problem on my Windows 7 computer.
The solution is simple. Just go into Devices and Printers or whatever it's called (the one where you see the printers, cameras,...). My version of Windows is in my native language so I don't know the exact name but you'll find it. You won't see the option in Device Management so don't search there. I found the proper location by accident.
Then you'll see the Acer icon and mine had an exclamation mark on it. So I right clicked on it and updated drivers (point the new drivers to Acer driver directory that holds adb drivers). Acer has to be in USB debugging mode (option under settings).
ADB then worked for me and it was a lot less hassle that I had with using ADB on my HTC Desire.
I'm used to all the different quirks when using computers but I do agree that Linux always worked best with ADB. So far I had to think of creative ways to set ADB on my Windows computer. No Android device ever installed drivers in the same way or even worked until I messed with it a little.
I'm too on Windows 7 64bits and for the drivers I go to http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx
If you want I have re-upload the drivers on my 4shared
Just extract and launch the setup
have a good day.

I don't seem to have another icon. I have this one referring to the Iconia Tab, but when I right click on it it just treats it like a flash drive.
I can't link the picture yet (need to have 8 posts), but there is on "Acer Iconia Tab" in Devices and Printers, but there's no yellow exclaimation mark and when I right click it it just has the option to browse files, it treats it like a flash drive.
It's under "Unspecified"

I've downloaded those drivers, unzipping them, and ran the setup several times =/.
EDIT:
I feel like a tool, someone at stack overflow suggested I switch to a different port (not just unplugging / re-plugging it into the same one), I guess that finally told windows to reanalyze it. Should have figured it would have been something silly for such a basic problem, shame on me for keeping all my other ports full.
Thanks for the help everyone!
Sorry I have forget to say :
1) click right on the "!" and choose uninstall. (on device manager)
2) Unplugg the USB
3) Install the setup (post above)
4) replugg the USB and wait for Windows install the drivers ...

That worked! Thanks.
Figured it out
Hey guys,
Thanks for all of your suggestions, but none of them worked. I ended up having to disable automatic driver installation, then went into Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and deleted the folders corresponding to the drivers that windows kept on insisting I wanted. After that everything worked great!

[SOLVED] Virtual Machine running Windows with ADB

I am using my laptop for ADB currently, but I want to know if it is possible to run ADB through windows in a Virtual Machine? I have gotten to where I have ADB running and the VM reconizeds the phone but as soon as I type,
Code:
adb devices
There is no response. Side note: I am using VMware and am running Tvall's CM7 on my phone.
Edit: solved was a driver issue
adb works when drivers for adb were installed
did you install drivers from Android SDK Tools?
at second you need turn usb debugging on (settings/applications/development)

Yes I know this. The virtual machine knows the device is there(ADB drivers are installed) but in cmd it doesn't work. USB debugging is on, another option is the wireless ADB from CM7, but I have no idea how that works. Thanks for the help.

When connecting phone through usb debugging there is 'Android USB Devices' section in Device Manager (My Computer / Manage / System Tools / Device Manager). Do you have this section while connecting?
Wireless adb application establishes connection via custom port and adb can use this port to communicate with phone.

In device Manager it has "Android Composite ADB Interface" and a "HTC Android Device" My VM connects to HTC Android device, not letting me connect to it in ADB. Before I connect my device and before it installed the drivers I installed the Google driver package from AndroidSDK. Thanks for your help.
How did you fix it?

So how did you end up fixing this? I want to connect my phone to the VM.
This is happening to me right now. I have a VM Windows 7, it can detect a "HTC Android Device" but the platform-tool command line cant detect my phone. Even with ADB USB drivers, platform-tools, as well as HTC-sync installed.
How did you fix it? Please tell me

I uninstalled all the drivers (with USBdeview) and instead of installing with the Google Driver I used the HTC one for MyTouch 3G. I think I installed the drivers before I plugged in the phone. And also what software are you using to run your VM?

I am using Oracle VM Virtualbox. Doing VM Windows 7 under Ubuntu 11.10.
I have been trying a few times in the VM Windows 7. I tried the lastest HTC Sync 3.0.0.0 as well as the older version 2.0.3.3 that worked when I was using full Windows 7.
But in VM, nothing works
The VM win 7 can detect a USB Composite Device, but it cant find the correct driver.
edit:
Oh my god!! hopefully you still havent read this post yet because I just got it working!
In the settings of the VM, theres an option to enable USB 2.0
But to enable that, we must install the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
It works!
edit2:
but somehow the transfer speed is really slow...
i guess i will just install windows again dual boot it

Not until you tell me about your VM
I want to know that because at the moment the transfering and intallation of APK files in Oracle VM VirtualBox is utterly slow (comparing with my old Win7 days), I am interested in other alternative VM which might be faster.
I see you mentioned VMware in you first post, I went to their website (link) but I see a lot different products... can you tell me which one you used, can you please tell me more about your VM?
Thanks in adcance.
edit:
Hey there again, I fainlly got VMware working.
I went for VMware Player 4.0.2. But for Ubuntu 12.04, we need a custom patch the VMware before it can run gracefully.
Not I have got it running now, VMware is so much faster than Oracle VM.
Thanks for the suggestsion!

adb driver won't connect
I'm running windows parrallel on my mac. On the windows side I have the samsung drivers downloaded but when I go to root my phone the command line says doesn't recognize. Anyone know away I can get drivers to recognize phone when running virtual on a mac?

won't show up in ADB... it just won't...

I've tried every driver known to man. I've tried the official Google drivers, I've tried the naked drivers, I've tried the ones that come with PDANet.
I've tried rebooting, uninstalling all other drivers, etc. I tried on my Windows 7 desktop, I tried on my Windows 8 laptop after disabling driver enforcement.
Every single time, the ADB driver installs fine, but adb itself sees no devices. I develop, I have many other Android devices (I am moving from a One XL) and they all just need one quick install and are detected. I have the same issue with my Nexus S - getting it consistently recognised on ADB is near impossible.
What am I doing wrong? I've waited three months for this thing and I want to set it up.
'USB Debugging' enabled?
Of course. It will install drivers for the ADB device, it just won't be detected by adb.exe.
I tried the 'switch to Photo MTP' mode trick too. I am having no issues with adb to a One XL, One V, Defy, Aurora II or U8800. This is really bizarre.
Do you have java jdk installed correctly?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I wasn't aware java was relevant to adb at all (and I don't think it is) but yeah I have the JDK installed and it works fine for my app dev.
I had the same issue. Drivers installed correctly (and worked on other phones) but not the N4.
In the end i used an Ubuntu Virtual machine, attached the phone, followed a guide on XDA for getting ADB drivers in linux, and it worked straight away.
Days of trying in windows, and done in 5 minutes through linux.
Yep, I too went the virtual machine route.
Ridiculous. The only two developer devices I've owned (Nexus S and Nexus 4) and they've both been impossible to get the adb drivers going...

Yes you have to have installed the java jdk to run adb, it doesn't work without it. Java jdk is supposed to be setup first before you install the sdk so that it finds it. One issue why people can't get adb working is that the path environment variables are not set up and need to be manually entered.
Example of setting your windows path environment variables for jdk version 6 windows 32 bit on Windows Vista.
right-click on My Computer, and select Properties
under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button
in the dialog that comes up, under System Variables double-click on Path
Add ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin to the Path variable (or wherever the jdk was installed)
Add ;C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools to the Path variable (or wherever you installed the sdk)

The linux guides include editing the udev rules so that you manually enter the Nexus 4 into the list of devices in order to get adb to recognize the phone. Could be the same issue with windows. I only have the sdk installed on a Linux box and haven't used it on windows since I installed it on a Vista box a few years ago but I would imagine windows would have the same problem recognizing the phone.

You shouldn't even be able to install the sdk properly without having java jdk installed first as the windows installer checks to see if its there.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
Edit: and by installer I meant SDK Manager, what you use to download and install the android usb drivers. I suppose you can get past the java limitation by just downloading the sdk and copying the needed files into the c directory then using 3rd party drivers but java jdk is what controls the phone once its connected so I don't know how you are getting it to work.
Edit 2: I guess I was wrong in part, I installed the sdk without java jdk on a windows xp box, used the universal drivers linked to above, and it recognized my phone in adb devices and I was able to reboot it. But I can't use sdk manager as it requires java jdk to be installed.
had the same issue... you must be using a usb port on the front/side of the computer
use one of the usb ports on the back, and you should be just fine.
This happens to me too. On all windows computers I have used for ADB and all phones it will work the first few times, and then it won't work no matter what. I can usually get fastboot to work reliably but that is it.

[PSA/FIX] Newest adb doesn't work on WinXP + 5x USB drivers that work

I happen to update platform-tools in the Android SDK from version 23.1 to version 24 on an older PC.
The newest adb.exe included with v24 no longer works on WinXP.
You will get the following error upon startup:
adb.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point WSAPoll could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In case anyone is curious, I tracked the change down to this one:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/203387/
ADB
I've attached the v23.1 adb and fastboot to this post in case someone needs the previous version (which works fine with 5x up to at least MTC20F)
Just unzip and you can use adb/fastboot from the resulting platform-tools-v23.1 directory or copy them over to where your normal platform-tools directory is.
USB drivers for 5x
I also included USB drivers that work with 5x. These should work for 32/64-bit for winxp and vista. Win7 is maybe, haven't tested.
They WILL NOT work with win8 and above due to changes in driver enforcement. I am not sure about win8.x but on win10, there is a built-in driver that works with adb. To get bootloader/fastboot driver, just allow win10 to search for drivers. It will load Marshall London Bootloader Interface. This is for a different phone from music company Marshall, but it works fine since it is an Android-based device.
I could never find one official driver from google or lg that would work with adb inside android, adb inside twrp, adb sideload inside stock recovery, and fastboot.
I stopped worrying about why it works for other people and just fixed the problem myself.
Not sure if it matters to that many people these days, but it was confirmed the change in adb is not a bug and will persist going forward, so if you ever need to run adb on a WinXP box or emulator, you'll need to retrieve platform-tools-23.1 or earlier.
WinXP compatible platform-tools also could be downloaded from official repository:
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r23.1.0-windows.zip
Thank you so much for this sfhub. This was driving me crazy getting bootloader access with Win 7. Updated to the driver you linked and worked great. I guess most people out there are using Win 8 or 10 now? Minblowing that so few use 7.

Actually Windows 7 is still installed on nearly half of all desktop and laptop computers: https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0. Did the most recent SDK drop support for it?
For anyone who wants to use adb on the latest version of Android Studio running on Windows XP use the adb .exe from version 23 and paste it into the platform tool folder. Keep a copy of the new adb.exe just in case you need it. No need to use the entire v23 platform tool folder.
The references in this thread have so far appear to refer to latest adb compatibility, particularly for Windows XP.
Does the latest fastboot still work fine with Windows XP? If not, what was the last known-good or thought to be last known-good version for Windows XP?
Hi
The adb from the v2.3.1 works fine with my win xp, thank you for the file.
Hello,
I am another WinXP user facing the error
"adb.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point WSAPoll could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll."
@sfhub & @Sintetix
Thanks for the info and provide the latest version supported by XP ...
Are you aware of any important changes / additions in the future versions to be concerned of?

Hope someone find this useful and provide more insight. Regards
