[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.
PS : Sorry for my poor English

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!

[Q] Need help making sdk recognize Kindle

Ive been to a dozen websites... everyone has a copy paste basically of the method. I've altered adb_usb.ini with the 0x1949 and altered the android_winusb in the correct places but when I attempt to update the drivers under my device manager my kindle is listed under Disk drives... not "other" etc like everyone tells me to look for.. and attempting to update the driver results in telling me I already have the best driver. I am unable to find my kindle with an adb devices even after multiple starting and killings of the server. I uninstalled the android sdk and reinstalled and redownloaded everything but still no luck. Please help. I'm far from a master but this is not my first rodeo having rooted 3 android phones.

Idk how you do it on other oses but on windows 7 it's:
Device manager, right click, update driver, let me choose, let me pick, have disk, c:\<path to win_usb.inf>

aye the problem is it believes it already has the best drivers for the job and won't accept android_winusb.inf as it's superior

I just discovered that and was very hopeful but it replied
This version of C:\Users\*\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools\x64\devcon.exe
is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your compute
r's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) ve
rsion of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
I'm on Vista.. assumed it would have worked
edit: its possible that the x86 worked and the x64 failed.. but the fact remains my device remains un-found. If I wasn't balding I'd be tearing out my hair.
Thank you to those who have tried to help however.

i had this problem earlier but my friend fixed it! when he wakes up ill have him post the solution
now i have superuser apk on system but no root and adb said success!! wtf

Jcase fixed my su problem i wasnt pushing the su with adb

congrats, im still messing with things but running out of options on my end.

Try running the batch file from an administrator command prompt. Also delete any existing device in devmgmt.msc. I'm also on Vista, worked ok for me.

i attempted the driver batch as administrator... it oddly doesn't make it as far as without.. it just says the system can not find the path specified 4 or 5 times then stops. And I've attempted to delete the kindle from disk drives which is the only location it shows up but as soon as i plug it in again it re-installs.
Edit: a side note.. i have a "Android Phone" in my device manager that appears to be my kindle and is using the 0x1949 drivers... I assumed it was my actual phone but it disappears/reappears when i unplug my kindle
Thanks to everyone who helped, by the grace of god i got my device recognized ... got it rooted... then bricked it installing TWRP.. finally unbricked it... and now I'm not messing with it for the rest of the night lol

ADB on TF101

Yeah, its another 'ADB not working on device xxx' thread.. but this one really has me stumped.
Device in question is a TF101, PC in question runs Windows 7 64-bit.
PC has been used successfully to develop android apps. for a Samsung S Plus, with the entire toolchain working.
Same PC, running VMWare, virtualizing XP (32-bit), has also been used to develop/debug with the TF101.
Now the problem. Natively (without VMWare), I have been completely unsuccessful getting the TF101 to be recognized by ADB.
What has been tried:
- TF101 USB drivers from Asus
- TF201 USB drivers from Asus (which also include the TF101 drivers from the look of the .inf files)
- Hand-edited .inf file from the standard android ADB driver
- Adding the VID (0x0b05) to adb_usb.inf
- Uninstalling (and deleting the driver) for anything related to android devices (Samsung, and Asus)
So what happens is that the device does appear in device manager, with 'USB Debugging' checked on the Android device.
With one of the driver combinations I end up with 'Android Composite ADB Interface' in Device Manager, but for some reason its under a 'Samsung Android Phone' Folder, this may well be part of the problem.
No matter what I try, 'adb kill-devices/adb usb' always shows 'error: device not found'
I am two solid days into this now, after reading just about every TF101/ADB thread that google knows about.
Anyone else experienced this?, and might know how to resolve it?

He's made it pretty clear that he uses ADB with other Android devices, so I don't think that a guide to installing ADB is going to be particularly helpful to him.
FWIW, I had the same issue. I installed the USB drivers from Asus and could never seem to get ADB to "see" the TF101.
So I ripped them out and installed the full ASUS desktop PC suite from their website. ADB now sees my TF101 just fine. I uninstalled the suite after I had the connection working and ADB still connects to my TF101 without issue. The Transformer PC suite is on the same download page as the stand alone driver.
If you can't find it, PM me and I'll get back to you with a link.

I too was using ADB already on my N1 but couldn't make it work with the TF.
After reading and following directions on that thread I got it working.
He might not need instructions to set up ADB from scratch but there's good infos about the Asus PC Suite.
Step 7
Basically same as what you just posted and same as what I did to get it working.

I can confirm that too that installing ASUS SUIT works better than just installing drivers, I don't know why but it does. It's the same with my phone. Sometimes installing usb drivers do not work but when I install Samsung kies then somehow that works better even though it includes the same drivers I am installing as stand alone which do not with properly.

Same thing happened to me had to buy a new cord.... does the computer recognize it at all

im not sure if it would help but everyonce in a while ill have a hard time with my adb connection and ill start up wireless adb and can conect fine from that. i dont know why i think in wireless you use ip address on wifi so it might recognize and connect different.. of course this depends on if you want to use it and is alos hardware dependant mainly wifi.

Help: Problem getting drivers to install.

I've been trying to root this thing for about 3 hours now. I'm on Windows XP and I can't get my kindle to be recognized in adb. I've tried updating my drivers in SDK and still no dice. All the guides appear to be for windows 7. Nothing I do is working. I've rooted several devices including tablets in the past but this one is almost impossible. All I want is the android market on my kindle.

Uhm... I'm not so sure about windows XP when it comes to automatically searching for drivers, but turning on the USB debugging setting might get windows to download everything necessary for adb to recognize the device. It worked on my phone, when I couldn't find the drivers... Just turned on USB debugging under "developer options," and windows got to work right away. Rooted it no problem.

using xp is the best choice - you dont have to care about 32/64bit and the uac (user access control)
hope this helps you to get rid of the drivers:

I get this when I try to install drivers via install drivers.bat program.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

as described in the linked post it's a good practice to move and rename kfu to c:\ that it is c:\kfu - it don't like spaces in pathname
the error message looks stange because "and" is no command - would try to redownload it
if it says "findstr" is not recognized as command then check your path varible - it should include c:\windows\system32
furthermore i use to run the batch files from the command prompt - cd to c:\kfu and type install_drivers.bat - the same with run.bat

It took three computers but I finally rooted the kindle.

[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.

Well to say the least, it's mess
Anyhow, the category is "Other Devices - Nook SimpleTouch"
Driver Provider: Unkown
When I try reinstalling it says:
Windows found driver software for you device but encounterd an error while attempting to install it.
Android Composite ADB Interface​The system cannot find the file specified​I have done the Advance Restart for Win 8 that disables the driver signatures and I still get this message.

The modified .inf file has to be where it was originally.
That is, in the same directory as:
Code:
android_winusb.inf
i386\WdfCoInstaller01009.dll
i386\winusbcoinstaller2.dll
i386\WUDFUpdate_01009.dll

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!

I'm glad that worked.
I actually meant saying even more Nos until an actual "Have Disk" button appears.
Window caches the driver inf files and you could have had a bad one.
