Hi,
Does anyone know where to get the ADB drivers for the Iconia A501? I tried downloading and installing the USB drivers from Acer direct here, but neither of them work. The ACER Composite ADB Interface fails to successfully install when I plug my A501 to my host.
Thanks.

You need to download and stall the Google ADB drivers for the SDK;
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
If I remember, it's about 65mb.
Then with your tab connected, USB Debug enabled, in your PC Device manager, update the driver, only do it manually. Point to folder where you extracted the drivers. If you get a warning "might not be compatible", ignore it.

The acer drivers work well too

Which Acer drivers? I tried them both but neither worked on my Win7 machine. I notice you have an A500. I have the A501, perhaps they're slightly different?
I already have the Google USB drivers installed.

They're on the acer website in the iconia tab section. The drivers are the same (in fact it comes up as ACERICONIATAB3G in the acer folder).
Once installed you may have to use device manager to replace the generic Microsoft drivers with the Acer ones

OK, I figured out the problem. It seems that I can't have the Iconia Tab and my HTC phone both plugged into my host PC - the one that's plugged in later will not work. This is weird because I've managed to plug 2 HTC phones and have them both work. I just address them with "adb -s" command parameter.
Is there any way to get my tablet and phone to play nice with each other?

Go adb devices and see what serial number is given to your tab. Just make sure the driver assigned to your acer tab is the acer driver from Program Files\Acer Inc\ACERICONIATAB3G\arch\AndroidUsb.inf (IIRC) and not the default android sdk driver (the acer one works best). Then adb should recognise them all

Sorry guys I am pretty new into this.
I download JDK, Android SDK...
I have the driver from Acer (piece of stupid 89Mb...?)
When I try to use ADB I get a message saying that can connect.
I suspect USB Driver.
Somebody could explain me the ABC of USB driver on Acer... ?
thanks
You really should add some more information. Which OS are you using? 32 or 64 bit? Did u enable ADB in your device's settings?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
It should be a fairly quick and easy affair.
Connect the tab using the supplied mini-usb->usb cable. Run the SDK and you can either run adb.exe or go right into the command prompt and navigate to your SDK install directory and into the folder where ADB is and run it from there.
Check to see if the device is connected: adb devices
If its not finding it then you'll have to trouble shoot from the SDK site. For me, I didn't have to configure anything, it just worked.
Windows 7 x64
did you unzip the driver file you downloaded from acer and then install it. dont mean to insult your intelligence in anyway. but i have seen people download the driver and never install it.

I had this problem too. Win7 64 bit. I had to do the following:
Download the USB drive from Acer's site
Restart (may not be necessary)
Connect my A500
Windows reported a failed driver installation so I went into the Device Manager and manually selected a drive from the ADB drivers within Windows.
Thanks for answers. It did not solve the problem yet.
I have the Acer driver. No problem (and unzipped). Installed, ok looking in control panel
I have a microsoft driver ??? 6.1.7600.16385, signed by windows.
In description it is MTP driver
In fact I can not install the ACER driver.
I have win7 64 pro, french, original license.
It seems during the installation of acer drive, the exe starts another program; and the new one says that there is no installed version of acer iconia tab driver... then everything closes.
Has anybody a light version of the driver (can not understand this stupid 90mb) ?
thanks
Dear all
I try to root my eeepad 4hr ago.
With NVFash, I can install the nvflash usb driver.
If I force to install it, I get a '!' in Device Manager.
Did others meet this issue?
I had try my Win7 desktop PC and lantop, and also a XP PC.
Could everyone tell me how to root my eeepad.
Thanks a lot!
It seems my eeepad can not get into APX mode.
Cause I got "unknown device" when I connect eeepad with PC through USB.
After trying any methods after google,
I had no idea to solve this issue.

3c. Open Device manager, scroll down to "Other Devices" (might be named something else in xp or vista) and you should see APX something with a small exclamation mark in a yellow triangle.
3d. Right click it, select "Update Driver Software..." -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> "let me pick from list ..." -> click next -> "have disk" -> Browse -> navigate to the downloaded tf_rootkit_31 folder, open usbpcdriver folder and select "NvidiaUsb.inf" -> open, and all it to install, Ignore the unsigned error, let it install anyway.
You can get the inf from here

I rooted my device a few mins back and it worked for me
Thanks, I will try it right now !
I got two problems
1. ... and you should see APX -> I had no APX device, but unknown device
2. After I force install the driver, I got and usb errror code 10.
so I can't flash any thing on my eeepad.
This does not work for me !

I had tried it.
The PC can't recognize my eeepad,
So I can not be able to install stock ASUS USB driver.
Even official driver was still fail !!!!!!!!!!
What happend ??
Try removing all drivers and reinstalling them. Reboot after installing drivers. I had a problem while rooting and rebooting the laptop made it go away.
May be a stupid question... Are you sure you are running Win 7 with Admin rights?

I found a free PC.
After removing all usb devices (beside the mouse), I run a quick boot with Ubuntu 11.0.4 (newest) by CD-ROM.
Then I type 'lsusb' in cmd.
Oops! I CAN NOT get any new USB device in list.
After boot my eeepad into APX mode, seems the same.
I think I got a broken USB cab or eeepad.
SO ...
DOES any one have other way to root? I need CIFS function really ...
After trying for all day.
I quite!
Before new root tools, I can only use stock version.
I went to Asus maintain center for testing my eeepad today.
After some small trying, we confirmed that my usb cable is un-functional.
Now, I am waiting for the new cable, it is all free.
Any way, I can root my pad few days later.
I can't get adb to work with my iconia to save my life... I've tried every driver out there to try to get the device recognized but I can't even get it connected to my computer. I have the mini usb cable and all, and I can copy/paste files into the tablet memory, but whenever I start adb it won't recognize it. How did you guys get yours set up? And I've connected my incredible via adb so I know my sdk kit is legit. Just let me know, thanks-
Oh, and: Iconia is rooted. Also, I've tried to start the device manager (i'm on win7 btw), locate the missing device driver, update driver, and navigate to where I got the acer driver from their website, but to no avail. Could it be my rom? I have a hc 3.1 on there atm. Well, that's about it haha
The ultimate goal is to install native ubuntu on the a500, but I need access to adb first.

Another option with ADB is to do so via IP. Search the Market for 'adb' and there should be a few apps that will allow you to use ADB over TCP/IP. From your computer, with ADB installed, you'd connect with something like:
adb connect <Tablet's IP address>:<port>
I seem to think port 5555 is the default.
If, after trying this method, you still cannot access/see your tablet (assuming you started ADB services), then you may want to check your SDK.
Best of luck.

This may sound silly, but have you gone into settings, applications, development, and checked "USB debugging" to on?

Glad it was something simple!
Sometimes we always overlook the simple things.
But I would not have told on myself.to many other things could blame it on.giggles
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.

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.
Hello everyone,
last week I picked up Iconia A500 runs Android 3.2. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I've been developing with my HTC Desire without any problem but when I connect Iconia it doesn't appear on ADB list in Eclipse. I downloaded and installed latest drivers from Acer website, tried different USB ports, uninstall and reinstall drivers, etc. but still nothing happens. There is only Acer ICONIA TAB A500 under Portable Devices in Device Manager but nothing appears under Android USB Devices. USB debugging and Stay awake is on. I've been googling and trying all suggestions but no chance.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I had about the same problem when first set up. I think my tab first came up in adb as a long string of numbers. Don't rember what I did. If it pops in I will post back.

how are u getting on???
u will need to install Acer adb drivers. the ones u d/led from Acer are only yr USB drivers.
also, Acer does not play well with other mobile device drivers that u have already installed.
Well, I should say that mine didnt.
on yr tab uncheck USB debugging and reboot.
on yr PC uninstall ALL drivers both HTC and Acer reboot PC
connect tab to PC and re-enable USB debugging
open a command prompt and run "adb devices" to see yr devices serial number
once u have the Acer set up running u can reinstall yr HTC drivers.
if u don't see the device number, u might wanna check out this post here which will walk u thru editing the USB .inf files for use with adb.
good luck
Hi,
it decided to start working literally I've done nothing what I'd been doing for days. I unplugged the tab, uninstalled the drivers I downloaded from Acer support site (they are coming with ADB drivers) , restarted PC, reinstalled Acer drivers, plugged in the tab (and little magic powder i suppose ) and Windows said it couldn't find the driver for the device, I pointed to the Acer drivers and bang! it simply started working. I think it's about Windows, as ususal it controls what software you have to use in your computer!!! but because of a bug somewhere in Windows code it stops installing the drivers it prefers and says it couldn't find any driver.
Thank you so much for your help guys.
And if anyone comes across same problem just keep trying with different USB ports by uninstalling and installing drivers, after one point Windows stops resisting and accepts the reality that you want to use the drivers provided by Acer
