does it give any reason for it not wanting to do it?
You cant just dump an ISO on a flash drive and expect it to work, you need to make a bootable flash drive FROM the ISO that's slightly more complicated but wont really help you anyway as that wouldn't set it up.
first you'll need to make the USB bootable then extract the iso file in it
and use the same steps with widows 7, you'll need to format the drive with
NTFS file system
take a look here it will help

cool but i don't have the dvd our cd. i have downloaded iso.... ago such after formatting.. ... what do i do now?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
use ultraiso to extract the iso file so you can copy them to the USB
and here is a link for the boot folder if you don't have it
in step 4:
replace the command "FORMAT FS=NTFS" with "FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK"
in step 5:
open the folder i attached and open CMD there then proceed to step 7
here is the folder:

I personally use WinUSB, a free program that can take MANY different types of files, and copy them to a usb, which it then make bootable. Here's a link to the download site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winusb/files/latest/download
Also, I reccomend installing it as a second os. This is a better option, because I'm assuming you simply want to check it out. Just partition your hard drive (Extreamly easy, and hundreds of guides online as to how), turn off your computer, insert the boot media, start up, go into the boot device setting (Usually F12, but can occassionally varry, also may have to be manually made as an option, but adjusting BIOS settings by taping F2). If done properly, a WIndows 8 installation guide with start, agree to the terms, enter the license key, and choose which partition to install it on (Make sure it's the one you choose for this, some you don't erase any data and/or your OS). Then just follow the rest of the set-up instructions, and your good to go.
This strategy also works for trying to install any other OS (Such as you wanting to give Linux a try).
This is also good, because if Windows 8 encounters any errors, it won't affect Win7 or any data stored on the Win7 partition.
Hope this helps!

[GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting! v1.2
Hey XDAers. Getting ADB setup and working is an essential part to rooting your Android device and helps layout the foundations to better understanding the language and using it in this environment. While not going into extreme detail, this is just a quick guide or overview on the first part of rooting; Getting ADB setup and working.
** Make sure your Transformer is not currently connected to your PC yet. We will be installing device drivers first (Step 7) and modify a setting on your tablet first before connecting to your PC (Step 8).
Step 1 :
Download and install the Android SDK.
You can download the SDK from the Google Developer's website. I have linked for you the download page and a direct link to the installer (Note: the direct link may change in the future with future versions, I will try stay on top of this and change the link)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r10-windows.exe
*New Version : http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r11-windows.exe
You may or may not be prompted to install the latest version of Java if you haven't done so already, install it, and you may or may not have to reboot your computer.
Step 2 :
Once the install is complete, navigate to the directory in which you installed the SDK and launch the SDK Manager executable. It may or may not ask you to download and install the Java JDK, do so if you haven't already.
*When I run the android SDK installer it tells me I don't have the java JDK installed, even though I've installed it already*
Answer :
It says that but disregard it. If you've installed it, it should be fine. When it gets to the part that says its not installed and won't let you go any further simply click back then click forward again and it should allow you to go ahead.
Thanks Crimton!

Step 3:
Once the SDK Manager is launched, it will look something similar to the window below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will want to do something along the lines of update all or install all. This way it will download all the latest packages and you willhave the latest SDK tools installed.
Once that is complete, you can exit out of the SDK Manager.
Step 4:
Open up a command prompt window. You can do so by holding the WinKey+R, a run window will appear, type CMD, and hit enter.
Step 6:
Within the Command Prompt window, navigate to the Android SDK folder\platform tools folder (Command Prompt command : CD foldername\foldername\foldername\etc)
Step 7:
Now install the ASUS Sync software if you haven't loaded it previously. http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download. Just select your operating system, hit download, then install.
Why are we installing the ASUS Sync software you ask?
Well mainly because it has USB drivers that will help your PC operating system detect and display your ASUS Transformer. Without the drivers, ADB wouldn't be able to detect your device most likely!
*For other android devices, you will need similar software from that manufacture. HTC Sync for HTC devices as an example.

Click to collapse
Step 8:
Enable USB Debugging on your android device / Transformer.
Go to Transformer Tablet, go to settings -> applications->Development, turn on USB Debugging.
Step 9:
Connect the USB cable from your android device / Transformer to the PC. It will begin to automatically install drivers, let it do so and complete. May ask to reboot machine.
Step 10:
Once that is done, go back to the command prompt. Run ‘ADB Devices’
You should see something like above, indicating it detected the transformer, if not, run the following ‘adb kill-server’, ‘adb start-server’, ‘adb devices’
Ok, if you are seeing something like the screenshot above then success, you have successfully gotten ADB up and working! Congratulations! That wasn't too hard now was it? You can now follow one of the root guides and follow the directions and you should be on your way to a fully rooted device. Cheers!
-------
Troubleshooting:
In the event you complete the steps above but your computer either will not recogonize the Transformer in Windows as a device, or ADB will not see it please try the following to see if this will fix it for you. You only need to try these if the above steps aren't working for you, but most people, they work fine.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html
-------
Notes:
-If you want another guide on something else, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
-Yes this has been posted a million times I know, but I thought this might help out those few people that don't feel like looking around. Plus, it has nice color illustrations. Who doesn't like picture books?

Sorry to hear that. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what could be causing this. But here are a couple things you can try. And please let us know what happens next.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html
I have a few questions. This is the first real time I'm using ADB.
So I have tried everything you listed above and I can get it to sync on occasion, but I cannot get it to read my device in the command prompt. I type this "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices" and it says "The device is not ready." Why is it not finding it even with it syncing at that moment?
Also, do you type "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>" every time you run something? If so, is there a way to get that to show up beforehand every time instead of having to type it? Thanks again for your help!

1) First thing you can try is the famous 'adb kill-server' 'adb start-server' commands and see if that will get it going. Also 'adb usb' will restart the daemon listening on USB, so maybe that could make it usable. If not, make sure the ASUS Sync app is not running, and perhaps see if there are any running services/apps on your Transformer that could be causing the conflict. Download System Panel Lite from Market and tell it to end all apps, then try again (make sure USB Debugging is enabled)
If you tried all of that, and still no dice, make sure no USB Drives or Memory Cards are connected, then connect the Transformer (w/ USB Debugging), go to Device Manager, uninstall the USB drivers for the device if you can find it or it may show up as a USB Mass Storage device under USB Controllers, then disconnect the Transformer, reconnect the Transformer, it should reinstall the drivers for the Transformer since you already have ASUS Sync installed, then retry.
If again still no dice, try using the ASUS USB Windows Drivers and going to Device Manager and updating the drivers with those you downloaded (download the correct ones for your particular operating system, and then try again.
Now, if this still doesn't work, let me know, and I'll try think of something else. Maybe someone else has had this issue and come up with a workaround or solution, but I'm drawing a blank currently. I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of anything else
2) You don't have to type that up all the time. What you can do is navigate the platform tools folder (or whatever folder has the adb files), then if on Win 7, hold shift and right click on the folder (Platform Tools for example), and you will see an Open Command Prompt here. Hit that, and it will already be in that root folder. But in general, in a command prompt window, once you have navigate to the specified folder, you will be in that folder, so you will only need to type ADB 'command' if that makes sense.
[/LIST]
I think I might have figured it out, if this is it. So I downloaded the drivers but I don't think they ever installed. Don't laugh lol, how do you install them? There isn't a .exe file or anything to install them.. I just see files and notes. Do I put it somewhere or what do I do with the 3 files and readme file?
I think that might fix my problem...I hope.. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!
EDIT: I think I got the drivers and it still can't find it. :/ I think I'm going to take a break on rooting for a few. ADB is a pain! lol. I might just wait for an easier method or just not root it. We'll see. Thanks again.

If you get a chance, try this on a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine that you haven't connected the Transformer too yet, and follow the guide exactly, and I'm pretty sure it will work without a problem I'm just thinking something has happened when it loaded up the drivers for you initially and that is why you are having the issues, or some background process on either Windows or the Transformer is making the device seem "busy", thus giving you the not ready error, as this process has worked for many many other users.
I was just thinking about it. Maybe I can try that on my downstairs computer. Ill give it a shot Sunday night and see how it goes...ill let you know...
How to get working ADB-- The Expedient method
Since the release of the mtd ROMS the importance of being able to use ADB has greatly increased. This guide is designed to produce a working adb evironment in windows. It is designed be as simple as possible and to avoid command line as much as possible. This guide is not targeted towards advanced users who can set up a working adb environment on their own. If you can setup adb from Google's packages, please avert your eyes and read no further -- this guide will only bring out the elitist snob in you.
If you are still with me you have likely tried to set up adb and failed. Perhaps you have a bootloop in an mtd (cm7, miui, OMFGB) ROM and are trying to avoid losing everything with an Odin flash. Perhaps you are trying to troubleshoot in another way. Regardless, this guide will get you going.
Step 1: Install USB drivers.
A) If you are using a Touchwiz based ROM (COMROM, Evil Fascinate) you will need the Samsung Fascinate driver.
B) If you are using a MTD based ROM (ICS, CM7, MIUI, OMFGB) you will need to use the Nexus S drivers.
Step 2: After you install the appropriate driver, put your Fascinate into Debugging Mode by:
Gingerbread: Settings->Applications->Development then checking Debugging Mode.
ICS: debugging mode is found System Setting>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
Step 3: Connect your phone to your computer and open up Device Manager.
Step 4: DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. You will see Fascinate/Nexus S with possibly an exclamation mark, just double-click on it, Update Driver->Browse my computer for driver software->ADB Interface then choose Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, then choose Samsung Android ADB Device.
Step 5: Download and install Droid Explorer. Please select the appropriate build for your PC architecture. Be sure to select "Set up the Android SDK For Me" during the setup.
Step 6: Launch Droid Explorer and select your phone.
To send ADB commands click the button in the red box in the image below.
To view logcats click the button in the blue box below.
Step 7: How to use Droid Explorer

Troubleshooting example:
You are on AOKP and set a bad overclock as boot settings. 3-fingering is a no-no and you get frozen during boot or a bootloop before entering the OS and therefore can't reach recovery. To get into recovery click the button in the red rectangle. Then type "reboot recovery" at any time during the phone boot process and press enter. Your phone should reboot and you should end up in recovery. Success!
I have a fully Functional adb, android skd, java, eclipse, all the stuff needed for a proper build environment, and I still use Droid explorer and Android Commander, for some things. Once you get used to these programs they are very useful especially for a simple app swap or adding an app to your system file. Good of you to share the process with others.
Nice guide, would have been easier than setting up a full adb environment on my work pc in addition to my home pc. Where was this 6 months ago?
Dude thank you so much for that nexus driver. I have not been able to get my ADB to work until now with that driver. Every other one I got wouldn't work and no one really could help me. Just kept saying install driver. Now ADB finally works. The Droid Explorer program is pretty cool too. Thanks very much!!
I've edited the guide a bit to make it easier to follow. This should be the final version of it unless someone has an issue or suggestion. I'm glad this has helped some folks and I hope it will continue to do so.
ok somethings wrong because i have followed every freaking guide there is including the wiki for cyanogenmod and this one and adb is still "not a valid command" or whatever in the command prompt......freaking hell
**now all of a sudden it's kinda working, if i choose reboot into recovery from the application it just reboots the phone, not into recovery.....and if i choose the log icon it says it cant connect to device even though the device is clearly shown as connected in the main screen......sheesh
THANK YOU MAKE THIS STICKY NOW OR I WILL PUNCH BABIES
Have went through the process three times all with the same result. Explorer doesn't see my phone. Any ideas?
Using the Nexus drivers (running CM7)
Drivers installed properly.
Using the 64 bit explorer (running Windows 7)
debugging checked
Just passing along a thanks for this guide in a world where OC/UV is so easy to screw up.

During the DroidExplorer setup process did you tell it to "setup adroid sdk environment for me"? It should have been a blue link.

I have a different but similar issue. It sees my device when connected and disconnected but I can't do anything. If I choose reboot it rebooted. If I choose reboot recovery it just rebooted, no recovery. I can see the devices tree directory but if I try to access any of them I get an error. Also if I click the logcat button it opens the terminal window but has an error, says it can't connect or something. If I click on the terminal button it opens the terminal but no commands are recognized. But when I connect and disconnect my device it shows up and in device manager there are no errors.
Hmm are you sure that the USB cable you are using is still good? will it mount for data transfer?
Also, this generally shouldn't be necessary but it is possible that something is messed up in your PC USB install. At one point I had to clear off and reinstall all of my USB drivers. Everything worked fine after the drivers reinstalled.
There's a lot of places where errors come in. I'd like to try and figure out your guys' problem(s) so that I can update the guide and potentially save other people some time.
I just set up adb on my arch linux box, I think it was easier to set up this vs windows.

Probably. But that requires you to have a linux box setup and handy; which many people do not have.
Well you can always dual boot your computer. I have windows 7 and arch linux set up. I'm usually on linux but I still have software that I use on windows, so that's why I kept it.

My USB cable is fine. Went back uninstalled the drivers and explorer. Downloaded fresh copies of both and same thing????
Giving up for now. In the event of a crash I can Odin back,rebuild,restore apps, etc. in about an hour. Less time than I have spent trying to get this to work! LOL. For now I'm back on the stock CM7 kernel and not doing any tweaking that might cause a crash. All is good thanks guys.
sfobrien: Sorry I couldn't get thisto work for you.
jamesandmandy: Did you ever flash anything in red recovery? Are you able to get into blue recovery by the normal method? Your issue sounds like something on the phone recovery end if You are able to send commands to it successfully over adb.

Hey no problem. I think it is some kind of glitch between Windows 7 and the explorer program. CM7 is an awesome upgrade so no complaints here.

I need the MTP driver for Windows XP. I've gotten the other 2 drivers up & running, but not the MTP. Anyone able to provide a link for a working MTP driver for my Nexus 7?
I guess you have to install Windows Media Player (this is only possible with a genuine Windows).
Personally I use AirDroid to transfer files. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid )

I already have Media Player 11 on there. No go.
AirDroid isn't an option as we only have WiFi at work on our outside LAN and our computers are all behind the firewall.

do you have USB debugging turned on? if so, turn it off.

Yeah. No luck.
@mrhomiec
Yes, I turn USB debugging off and try re-installing the driver again and it is working fine now. Many thanks.:good:
After ages trying to root my Nexus 7 and repeatedly un/re-installing of drivers using various 'toolkits' and then finally succeeding, I was upset to see this problem in Device Manager.
Seeing mrhomiec's excellent solution in the first thread I looked at was a great relief. Many thanks!

MTP working with XP
Here is what I had to do to get MTP working with XP SP3:
1: Download and install MTPPK12
2: Download and intall Media Player 11
3: Connect the N7 to the PC via the USB cable and set USB to MTP instead of "Camera".
4: Open "Settings" and turn off "USB debugging".
5pen "Device Manager" on the PC and look for "Android Device". If you find and entry for an "ADB" device, uninstall the driver. Unplug the N7 and plug it back in. The PC should now find a device titled "Nexus 7" and install the driver. Open "My Computer" and "Nexus 7" should now be listed and ready to transfer files.
A little something to get USB-Debugging working
Hey guys,
for those who want to use their precious Android with enabled USB-debugging at a Win XP system:
1. get some drivers that work fine without enabled debugging (for HTC disciples: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279 ) and install them.
2. switch your device to usb-debugging and look up the exact hardware-ID @ your device manager (device manager -> android device -> details -> hardware ID) - keep that window open for you'll need the exact key
3. Search the installed drivers (for me it was C:\Programme\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\XP_x86) and edit the 'androidusb.inf'.
4. In the file, look for the 'Device Section' and scroll way down to the 'For XP and later' section. Here you copy the first entry and paste in your hardwareID.
For me, I took:
%USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and changed it to:
%USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D02&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D02&MI_01
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Next scroll down until you find the '[Strings]' section. Here you do the same thing as before:
Copy the first entry and edit it according to your hardwareID.
For me, I took:
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and changed it to:
USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D02.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC ONE"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(you are free to name it what ever you want )
Next you'll need to scroll down until the patten changes from
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
here you'll need to copy the first entry again and edit it to match your needs. Just copy the device name you have entered before.
6. Finally you can install the drivers manually via your device manager. Just choose your pimped androidusb.inf as driver and you should be able to work with your android phone at usb-debugging (for example for MyPhoneExplorer).
Of cause I am not responsible if you wreck your Win XP / your drivers so don't overdo it. If you don't know what you are doing, do it like the Beatles and 'let it be'

MTP and ADB come hand in hand so if anyone wants to use the ADB-interface, he or she can do so by following this little tutorial and don't even need to spam their system with unnecessary bloatware.. sorry, but I don't see the problem you've got with that ?
And I'm very sorry, I don't understand the problem you've got with a useful tutorial but that doesn't mean that I've got any problem with you oO

My problem is that most people searching a thread like this aren't going to read every post. They go to the "last page" to see what the latest solution is. Your post was on the last page by itself and I was concerned that noobs reading it would think it was "the best" solution. I wanted to point out that the post previous to yours actually had an easier solution. And, IMO, Media Center takes a miniscule amount of disk space compared to what the vast majority of people have available.

Well I have found this thread because I was looking for a solution for the MTP / ADB-problem and thought that other users might find this missing information useful. Your problem with my post would mean that you disagree any discussion or even better solutions to problems (threats) as soon as you posted your solution .. which truly isn't the way a community works.
And sorry, but I won't discuss the cancer-like spreading of MS products to any system with you in this threat. It's not as simple as disk space.
I suggest we now stop bloating up this topic, unless you've got more useful information concerning the problem.

The WiFi is kinda weird but I haven't really looked into it too deep. It will not connect to my home WiFi network but it will to my neighbors and my cell phone. Go figure. I have been trying out different iso images from the many downloads but I can't fins one yet that will boot on my old dell dimensions 2400 desktop. One of the error messages that pops up is for the computer model check and of course it fails, among other things. If anyone knows of a download for an iso that will work on at least dell desktop computers, let me know.
If it's broken...beat it into submission until it works!

It wont let me repair, since repair requires reboot, but then GRUB kicks in everytime i reboot, therefore stuck. I popped in the cd and reinstalled Windows.... but lost every program,
this is a bit off topic, but how can i restore everything from my old win7 to my new win7? I tried using the comand prompt in the recovery page, but the programs are still missing, tried just copy and pasting from windows.old folder to current windows folder, no luck.
I have seen many questions asking how to install universal naked drivers. Last week I received (loan) a windows computer and had the same issues. I decided to provide the info to help others.
Note: These drivers do work properly for the TF300T even though they may not state that exactly. Also if your tablet identifies as a TF201 it will still work properly.
Note: If you are on windows 8 and having problems please see the bottom of this post #1 for help! This info was provided by prototype7 please give him a thanks.
First some info. Windows thinks it should make the choices about drivers and is designed to keep us from choosing something that might cause problems. We need to maintain control through the process if we are to succeed.
Here are the choices I had to use to change my drivers and a link to the drivers.
windows-start - in search type device manager and return

right click on the entry you wish to change the driver for
Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for driver software
Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Have Disk
Browse
choose the universal naked drivers directory
click on the proper inf file
windows says drivers not signed; install anyway
Windows 8
Note: The following info was kindly provided by prototype7. Please give him a thanks.

You'll get a screen with some options on it after a few seconds
Click Troubleshoot
Advanced Options
Windows Startup Settings
Restart
You'll get a menu of options to choose from
Press the number on your keyboard for "Disable driver signature enforcement"
Now you can follow the guide without any issues, reboot again after the drivers are installed and you'll be good to go.

using this method you don't have to uninstall your current driver

I did a lot of research but i have not found the solution... When i use fastboot, it still "<waiting for device>".
Anyone have the same probleme ?
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Fine it's my fault, the cmd line have to be with -i 0x0B05 option, without it, it doesn't work.

Thanks!
I don't know why some tablets require the tablet designation and others don't. For that reason we suggest everyone use them. It is a code assigned by google that designates the manufacture of the unit. On linux we have to declare them to avoid a permissions error but we don't have to add drivers.
I'm glad you got everything sorted.
I was trying to install these using this guide on Windows 8, but was running into a problem with the drivers not being signed, so here's the solution:
Hit Start+X, select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type "shutdown -o -r -t 0" (without quotes) and hit enter
You'll get a screen with some options on it after a few seconds
Click Troubleshoot
Advanced Options
Windows Startup Settings
Restart
You'll get a menu of options to choose from
Press the number on your keyboard for "Disable driver signature enforcement"
Now you can follow the guide without any issues, reboot again after the drivers are installed and you'll be good to go.

Hello. I am having problems getting ADB to open. I did everything you mentioned hoping that these new drivers would work, but at the end I got a message window with "Select Device" saying;
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.
I am using a Droid Razr Maxx with CM 10 installed on Android version 4.2.2. I have tried everything to get ADB to open and nothing seems to work.
Thank you in advance for your time

You have to actually select the file not just the directory. By only selecting the directory you give windows a choice. If windows has a choice it will always refuse to install.
Point windows to the android_winusb.inf file and it should install properly.
file selected still not working

That should be the proper file. In folder options there is probably a check in "Hide Known File Types". This will keep you from seeing certain extensions. Windows uses the inf extension for setup information.
Try the other inf file android_apxusb.inf and see if that will install. If you have already then I am lost.
Are you on windows 8? If so please see the topic Windows 8 at the bottom of the first post.
Still nothing

I'll do some research and reply on the other thread. Adb is working if you get your serial number with adb devices, adb kill-server, etc.
In windows drivers have to be installed to get anything from your tablet with adb. Drivers are not needed for Linux and Mac but are required for windows.
Before I forget to mention later you need to run cmd as administrator in windows to use adb but since you fail with a terminal on the unit it may be a structure issue with the command.
how do I start ADB?

I changed the path to C: Android-SDK platform tools and when I ran cmd as an administrator all I typed was adb. Am I missing something here? I also tried adb.exe
