[USB Drivers] Galaxy S GT-I9000 (Working on ICS)

Hello.
And bacon and spam:
I've recently upgraded my SGS to ICS (ICSSGS ROM) and started to develop a simple application.
So, now i've got to the point that the emulator starts to show its limitations, so i need to debug directly on the real device.
Well, i've been trying to make ADB recognize my phone, tried several usb drivers from several sites, none of them worked.
After several hours spanking windows, it's finally working (yes! almost 6 AM in the morning!).
What matters:
So, to anybody who have the same problem as i had, do the following:
0. Uninstall any drivers that you've tried before.
1. Extract the zip file that i've uploaded to anywhere you like.
2. Enable debugging on your phone and connect it to PC throught the USB cable
(Just connect it, don't mount)
3. On your computer, click Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> Manage
This will open the "Computer Management" window (it might take some seconds to load).
4. Click "Device Manager". Now you should find your device in the list. It must be really easy to find. It's called something like "GT-I9000" or "GalaxyS" and it has a yellow warning sign next to it.
5. Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software". In the window that appears, choose "Browse my computer for driver software". It then asks you where is the driver.
6. Click the "Browse" button and choose the folder you extracted from my zip file.
(If you didn't change it, it must be called "Android Composite ADB Interface")
7. Click "Next" and cross your fingers. If you're lucky, it may work for you.
Final notes:
1. I'm not responsible for ANYTHING. Whatever you do, it's your own choise to do it. I guarantee absolutely nothing.
2. This is was tested on Windows 7 - 64 bits with Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM and Semaphore ICS 0.9.1 Kernel.
3. Have fun.
4. If you try this, please answer the topic and tell everybody if it's working for you (mentioning your Windows version and what ROM you use).

Missing file when installing driver on windows 7 x64
Hi,
I have recently installed the most recent Dark Knight ICS 4.0.4 build to my Samsung Galaxy S. The ROM seems very good but I'm an android app developer and need to be able to debug my applications on the device via USB.
I have tried the driver provided in the thread which won't install due to a missing file according to the Windows 7 x64 driver install wizard. The exact message is displayed after step 7 and says:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
"Android Composite ADB interface"
"The system cannot find the file specified".
Is there a file missing in the package? Has anybody managed to get this driver working?
Cheers,
Ben

Does it say that it doesn't find a controller or that is there a missing file?
Anyway, please try this installer and let me know if it works for you:

What's wrong with the Nexus S drivers available with Android SDK?
Google USB driver, R4 developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
The SGS will present it self like that when it is running ICS/CM7/CM9.

Dont work for me.
System: Windows 7 x64
Android 4.04 Dark Knight
Nevertheless thanks for your approach. I'll test if it works with the SDK Updater.

I'm going to test in my desktop this weekend to check if it works with it.

I have the same problem, but with WIndows 7 32 bit. Drivers from discusion doesn't work. Don't you have some for 32 bit?
I found SDK Components on developer.android.com, where is Android driver which suppose to work, but unfortunately ODIN still do not see phone.

I also have the same problem but mine is worse because my phone is completely down after I tried to restore from a GB ndriod backup failure , phone won't boot , cannot boot into recovery only in download mode but no way my 4 x computers would detect the phone now ....tried using heimdall in linux as well as sdb, no go....so sad...help...

Using Google USB drivers finally worked for me. They can be optionally installed with Android SDK using SDK manager (extras). After installation drivers can be found in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver.
Just follow the instructions in the first post to find your device from device manager with exclamation mark. Need at least one reboot to work and I also redirected the driver installation process to Google usb driver directory but now ADB finally recognizes my SGS (MyICS, Android 4.0.3).
Edit: Operating system Vista 64-bit
[Currently stuck in "error: device not found" while trying adb push -command. I will update if I find a workaround. Probably something to do with inf-file.]
For alternate .inf -file (optional):
Google "usb-drivers-not-working-after-flash-latest-rom-ota" and see post #12 to see alternative inf-file. Some have managed to make adb recognize the device with that file, but I have at least this far been unsuccessful.
Edit: Problem above was caused by me being stupid and trying to use push in shell, which caused phone unable to locate host system folders. I don't know if that inf file has anything to do with drivers working now, but go ahead and try it if doesn't work with the original .inf

I got my i9000 recognized using the latest drives from the Google sdk

That‘s great

What should i do after instaling SDK

This worked for me

The very important thing is that newest Google USB driver is in
Code:
[B]<android-sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/[/B]
location, not in
Code:
<android-sdk>/usb_driver
It really makes the difference !

these drivers only worked once...
all the other times killing and starting over adb i was getting error messages like "device not found" and "protocol fault" even though adb devices was listing the device online.
apparently i connected the phone to another USB3 port on my pc (front panel) and that was it!! it now works every time i type adb shell or adb devices.i no longer get any error messages.rather weird
anyway..i also wanted to be up to date with everything so i uninstalled all related software like the older java 6 jdk, Android SDK and the drivers mentioned above.
i followed the procedure below and installed all the latest packages:
latest java 7u5 JDK, the latest Android SDK (nstaller_r20.0.1-windows.exe) then ran sdk-manager and loaded http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver google USB drivers rev 6. then installed these drives so i got the ADB composite interface on my device manager and it all works fine now.

I recenelty installed latest ICS , and SDK recognizes my phone as ACER ADB , when I'm pretty sure its a Samsung I9000 . I tried uninstalling the ACER ADB and install the one that the guy posted in the first post , and it didn't work , it said this driver is not compatible , oddly it reinstalled ACER ADB though. I can't even uninstall it at all , I removed all my Samsung drivers , and everything else I installed for Samsung , and its still there , I even tried removing the GOOGLE USB drivers , still there.
Neendless to say that the phone doesnt connect to the PC at all even though it says everything is alright. For example i got ths gPAD app , which uses the USB with Debugging to turn the phone into a mouse , but it says its not connected even though it is.

[Q] ADB error:device not found

plug the phone, open a terminal as administrator/root and type
adb stop-server
adb start-server
adb devices
the last command must return your device name-id
If not there is smth wrong with your installation

The device didn't show up do you know what I could have done wrong? Do I have to turn on mass storage? Could it have something to do with my drivers, can't remember installing any... And in the device manager I see four android with a orange triangle with am exclamation mark inside.

No you don't need to enable mass storage, but you need to enable USB debugging from dev settings from the device. Use these drivers

I had the same issue updating my Nexus 7 in adb download mode device not found. You will also notice in system setting device driver is showing an error. You can download Adb driver installer which should detect any missing driver and fix the issue.
It worked for me straight away otherwise I had no way round getting to solve the problem. Fheww!! hope it works for you
Many Thanks.

4.2.2 adb device offline

I have fresh installed N7 3g 4.2.2
adb devices show me "device offline" on Linux.
Do anybody help me solve?

AW: 4.2.2 adb device offline
It's a New security feature: in your device a popup with a hash key should be shown asking you whether you would allow the PC to connect to your device. After accepting that, the device can be accessed from the PC.

How to change this property?

Download the android adb fastboot files in this thread link and if usb debugging is enabled and you connect your phone to you computer you should get a pop-up on your phone. It worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144709
Also I think I opened the fastboot.exe and adb.exe files too

I couldn't update through SDK manager, t just kept popping alert that I need dependant lib, so I just uninstalled whole SDK and installed again, worked like a charm.

To update ADB use SDK Manager.
For some reason the SDK Manager does not automatically show the new release versions of Android SDK Tools and Android Platform-Tools, so if the versions of your Android SDK Tools and/or Android Platform-Tools are respectively older than 21.1 and 16.0.1, you will need to first delete them then reload the SDK Manager to get their new release versions to be displayed and available for installation.
Also, it appears that Android Support Libraries (under Extra) is also required for ADB to work, so you should install it as well.
Also, to get ADB-over-WiFi to work, first use ADB-over-USB to the same given PC/Laptop and grant access with "always" box checked.

So is version 21.1 and 16.0.1 the latest of their builds? And if I install those, I will not have a problem with the adb being offline?

[Q] update Nexus 4 Driver for 4.2.2? adb device offline?

android 4.2.1 worked fine until i updated to android 4.2.2 which was causing so much trouble to me
the pc will detect the phone as offline device seems like the pc unable to recognize the device, but usb tethering still worked fine
after some reading this is due to the adb thingy i suppose? since the 4.2.2 updates the adb for new security purposes but the at the computer side, the adb is not updated
seeing articles http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/android-4-2-2-adb-device-offline/ my phone wont detect the rsa on mypc...
i used mskip's toolkit to reinstall the usb drivers but i suppose it is still the old one(maybe still compatible with 4.2.1 but not 4.2.2)
guys please help, if there is some method i can manually update my adb to the newest version which can support my nexus 4
i also updated my Android SDK, all the files included under android 4.2 but still, the computer wont detect it...

Hi if you're using the Android sdk and it's all configured properly then make sure that tools and platform tools are up to date. rev 21.1. It's in a separate category in the sdk manager to the base sdk.

Try opening the "platform-tools" folder and press SHIFT+right click and open the command prompt with device connected.
Type in "adb devices" and a prompt should show up on your device for allowing usb debugging between your pc and you device.

I'm on windows 8 and have all the drivers installed but when I try and use the command "adb reboot bootloader" I get "error: device offline"

I got it to work using the normal android sdk download. I couldn't get it to work using just the files I downloaded from you.

Actually!
Are you on 32bit? I included 64bit.

I like that you moved it to General!!!
I always thought that the DEVELOPMENT threads should be only used for KERNELS/ROMS
THANK YOU

Hey man, thanks for the instructions but could you clarify that you have to restart/boot up completely after unlocking the bootloader? I was still in fastboot after unlocking it when I flashed TWRP, and now TWRP is asking for a password, failing on all operations and I'm stuck in a bootloop.

Dang Dude, I am sorry. I just went ahead and put that in. :/
I want to help you with this.
Can you get into the boot loader or anything? Maybe if you can get TWRP working, I can send you a Nandroid of a stock, one (Once I get mine )

Just found the solution in another thread: Open TWRP, Format Data first, then Factory Reset, finally reboot. I knew it wasn't a long term problem but I'm glad I didn't have to wait for Google to release Factory Images lol.

I don't know... I have Windows 7. I also have NO IDEA why this would happen... Try using a port on the back of the PC (desktop) . If that doesn't do it, try USB 3.0 (if you have it). Also, if you are using the Stock cord, try other cords. That is all I can think of... :/

There is a way to disable driver verification after rebooting in windows 8. I had to do this with my SGSIII and Win 8 x64, just google around for it, bet that's the problem.

I see the pack includes the tools for MAC. I am on 10.8.4. Has anyone tried this on a MAC yet? I will be doing so later.

Wait how would you do this on mac? Does the same .zip file work or would I need a different one? If you get it working please post a tutorial!

Looks like SuperSU came with the TWRP image(no need to copy it over separately). I tried to reboot from TWRP after updating the recovery and it forced me to flash SuperSU to root.
