Hello folks,
I had a WinXP computer, and I installed android SDK, and I was able to connect to my nook via ADB. As it was aging and having fan problem, I bought a new Dell (i5, win7, 4Gb RAM, 500 Gb HD). I installed android SDK, but never tried to ADB my nook. Yesterday I tried it, and whenever I try to connect via IP, or use adb devices, nothing shows up. I tried messing with the firewall, but it was not working at all.
Does anybody have any idea to help me? And also on how to get my firewall back (removed Norton, which I believe is a bloating spyware, and installed avast antivirus, but firewall was not released either, and it gives a 0x80070424 error).
Try this
Attach the usb cable to the NST and see if it is visible in device manager. Ideally if no driver is installed, you would just see it there with an exclamation mark.
Then follow ros87's instructions here. If adb_usb.ini doesnt exist create it.
Then from device manager, update device drivers for the unrecognized nook and point it to the i386/amd folder within the android drivers folder.
once that is done, restart adb, run "adb usb", then try "adb devices". If it worked it should show you the device.
ADB wifi was easier. In fact, it was such a long time since I last used it (before 1.1.1), that I forgot to add the adbwireless button to turn it on.
But thanks anyway. I've never dared to use USB due to inner messiness of the process.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
Hello
I have a stock Vodaphone Magic and I'm looking to root it, but to do this I need to get adb to see it, which I'm having problems with.
When I plugged it in first to charge it used window's default drivers for the SD card etc. Trying to update the drivers with the ones included in the SDK dosn't seem to work as Windows says that they're less recent.
Also, I can't see any sort of "ADB" section in the device manager, even with USB debugging turned on in the phone.
Any help? I'd really like to root my phone so I can use WPA Enterprise!
Edit: Already read the wiki page, no help.
I remember having this problem when I first set up the Android SDK.
However in my device manager I did have a device, it wasn't called Android or Magic or anything similar. From what I remember it was a bunch of random letters and numbers.
From there I right clicked it, went to Properties, Update Driver and then pointed it to the directory with the drivers.
Thats how I did it in Windows 7, if that doesn't work for you then I'm not sure sorry.
Hi,
I recently had the same problem as you. The first time you plug in your phone sometimes Windows will assign USB drivers to the device instead of the ADB interface. To correct this, I uninstalled the drivers and pointed the computer to the ADB files as the new drivers. After those install it should be labelled correctly and work.
I've had ADB working successfully in the past, but now nothing is listed after an "adb devices" command, and a "device not found" error for other commands. I was on Royal Ginger 2, and just updated to the latest CM7 nightly - then wanted to use ADB to tweak a few things and found out something was wrong. What else do I need to do to get adb to recognize my device?
I haven't changed anything on my laptop, which is Win7 64bit, and I've updated everything in SDK Manager. Device Manager on the laptop shows T-Mobile myTouch4g USB Device under Disk drives on the Device Manager, and I believe I have the latest mt4g drivers installed. I'm connecting via USB with debugging turned on, and without turning on USB storage.
Any ideas?
I was finally able to get adb to recognize my device again. FYI, I tried a few different things, but I think what finally got it working was tweaking the *.inf file in the usb_driver folder in SDK, the uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers - as outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-881324.html
I am hoping someone can help me before the ICS OTA hits in the US.
I am trying to root, but I can NOT get ADB to see the TPT.
I am using win 7 64 bit, and have downloaded the adb driver and modified the .inf. It shows up in dev man under android phone as thinkpad adb, but when I run adb devices...nothing.
I installed that latest Java dev and android stk but still nothing.
The TPT is on OTA 2.5.
I have searched everywhere but cannot fined any answer.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Is USB debugging enabled on your tpt? Did you try a different USB cable/port? On your PC are you in the same directory as adb.exe?
Yes, Yes, and Yes.
ADB is running fine...it just cant see the TPT even tho windows can.
I'm sure you're a little frustrated. I had that happen, and it turned out there were two adb processes running. A reboot fixed that. I'm sorry I don't have the answer.
It IS frustrating, but I appreciate your suggestions!
try running the emulator and make sure you can connect to it via adb, as a check to make sure adb deamon is starting up correctly.
True. Worked for me.
For whatever reason, it was my system that I do all my adb work on....just refuses to see the TPT.
Used my notebook with nothing installed and it went just fine.
My Win7-64 PC could only see my TPT as a portable device, and was listed between drive letters. I wanted to see it under "Android Phones."
After about 6 hours of searching, having installed the Lenovo-provided drivers probably 40 times, I went out on a limb and opened the Device Mangler, individually uninstalled each of the portable devices, including the TPT. Rebooted my PC. Plugged in the TPT, and finally it appeared under Android Phones, and ADB recognized it (I typed "adb devices" in the command prompt and it was listed).
What it came down to is the driver that wanted to be the default was trumping the one I wanted. Beware the Diva. She's not all that.
I should add that I also unplugged a usb card reader (that was making all the drive letters) because I thought that might be the culprit, but it still showed up in the Device Mangler, so I don't think unplugging it made a difference.
I miss Win2K.
I ran into a very weird issue lately. My PC running Windows 10 (previous Windows 7) and having gone through more than 4 phones with me without cleaning out my system had a ton of old drivers for different phones attached to the computer. Whenever I'd plug my Pixel 2 into the computer ADB worked fine but for some reason when I go into recovery it wouldn't recognize my phone. I rummaged through hours worth of forums/reddit posts guides/youtube videos and everyone kept coming up with the obvious answers being; install the latest adb drivers or force install the google ones or you're entering recovery completely wrong. Being quite savvy in this I tried everything and have sideloaded in the past through recovery on this very phone so it was a real head scratcher what had happened. I went through device manager uninstalled and reinstalled pretty much every adb/mobile device driver associated with the phone. However through some oversight it just wasn't clicking with me when I was in device manager my ADB was listed as "LeMobile Android Device" and even when I uninstalled restarted my computer/phone used different USB cables and ports it never clicked that it shouldn't say LeMobile Android Device because obviously my phone is a Google Pixel 2. Again seeing that I have used this very computer and phone before in the past and have sideloaded OTAs I assumed my old setting would've stuck. But I guess the latest OTA or something on my computer reverted my ADB drivers to a LeMobile Android Device thus causing my ADB to NOT work in recovery anymore but still functioned fine inside Windows.
Through more digging I found a guide on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/5nc64z/adb_drivers_showing_up_as_lemobile_android_device/
Pretty much the top comment/solution is as follows:
A few steps to get rid of the LeMobile pesky driver.
1-Have the device manager opened "devmgmt.msc". Make sure the LeMobile is visible in the device tree by connecting your phone or tablet.
2-Open the Command Prompt with Admin privilege. type "pnputil /enum-drivers" This should generate a list, lookup the "Published Name" value of the LeMobile driver, should be something like "oem??.inf" Remember this name.
3-Use the following command in the Command Prompt with Admin rights: "pnputil /delete-driver oem??.inf /force" Of course oem??.inf should be the name you found in step 2.
4-Go to the device manager. Right-click on the LeMobile device still shown in the device manager and select "Update Driver Software". Now you can browse to your preferred driver like the one in location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver"
5-And You're done! Cool thing is that you will have to do it again if you connect a tablet or something new and Microsoft decides the LeMobile driver is better then Googles driver...
So yes in the future I may have to do this setup again because Microsoft is just dumb and doesn't let settings stick but I went through the list and force deleted all my old phones from Motorola and Samsung as well so when I installed the ADB drivers finally the Google one's stuck. Hopefully this will fix many other people's problems when they can ADB in windows but NOT in Recovery. My other option would be to format my computer and have a fresh install but ain't no one got time for that. There are other guides online to fully delete drivers but it is very time consuming so I'm going to skip that for now.
