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.

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

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.
Well guys I've been trying for hours now, whenever I try to install the USB drivers in order to unlock my bootloader, when I plug in my Nexus it installs the MTP drivers on it's own, if I try to install the google drivers downloaded from ADB all I get is a message saying the best drivers for my device are already installed and it doesn't let me overwrite them.
If I go with the use disk option it doesn't let me choose the usb_drivers folder because it just wants to use a .inf file, whener I follow the instructions the toolkit dictates I read the dead end with the "The best drivers for your device are already installed"
I'm so angry right now.... Please help me.
Are you on a Windows XP operating system by any chance? There are major issues with MTP mounting on WinXP regardless of the service pack you're on. Some people claim they've gotten things working by updating WMP, via a Naked Driver and even by installing the Android SDK. Let me know if you are indeed on WinXP & I'll get you some links
Did you try following Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to install the drivers? That helped me. I cannot post a link so look around for it.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, thanks guys, I just gave up and did it in my sister's laptop, it worked on the first damn attempt, maybe the drivers of my N10 were screwing something up, that's my best guess.
Glad you got that sorted--just for future reference, a common recommendation for people having driver issues with their Nexus devices is to simply go into Win Device Manager, uninstall all your current Nexus & ADB drivers and restart. Then plug your phone in via USB and let the auto installation do its thing. Usually this fixes all issues w conflicting device drivers

I'm just posting it in this forum because it works fine and a lot of people aren't aware of this method
Awesome man. Don't even have my One but if I have problem with Windows 8, it's great that you already posted a solution.

Been trying to get the driver to work on my W8 laptop for my E3D. This worked for it after spending hours trying all sorts. Thanks a million. I will be sure to go through to the other thread and say thanks too.
If only I saw this before I spent hours last night trying to get adb to recognise my phone. I somehow got there in the end but this would've saved me a good two hours!

i can't install a driver for the MTP device. should it be in that zip? i'm trying to get it to install from that directory and it says it can't find a driver for it....
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
Here's what I'm doing
- Uninstall all current drivers & HTC Sync
- Restart PC
- Your method exactly
- Restart PC
Phone when on normally connects to adb just fine,
but when I put it into the bootloader it takes around 15 seconds to detect it and then says it's unrecognised and gives the error below:
Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Any help would be appreciated. For now, I'm running a copy of W7 on an old 2.5" drive... not ideal.
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
@petedavison93 and the owner of this thread, did you guys find a fix to pete's issue as I'm having the same issue as Pete, please help!
Had the same issue and installed different drivers several times without luck.
It was fixed for me by simply plugging in the phone into an USB port at the motherboard. The front USB and additional USB3 ports at the PC were not working, when the device is booted to the bootloader. They are working with adb only, when the phone is running normal.
I am running Win8x64.
Great Instructions

Anyone happen to know where I can find some windows 7 32bit drivers. Windows 8 32bit isn't a fan of 64bit software.
It isn't a problem with the HTC drivers. It's the usb drivers from Ms for Intel 3.0 bus. I found a thread that I'm searching again for that give the instructions on replacing the signed ms driver with an unsigned win 7 64bit host controller driver. It's two files and you need to first allow unsigned drivers in windows security. Needless to say it's fine now on my 3 ports.

Error messages
In device manager, a device named "APX" (within <computer>/Other Devices) with a yellow icon on the lower portion had the following inside its properties box:
-----
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
-----
blackthund3r's A500 Manager reports at the bottom, "A500 Detected in APX Mode. Please install the drivers!"
Circumstances
I am using a Windows 8.1 PC. I have an Acer A500 running an unknown ROM that is bricked. It boots to Acer logo, then continually loops the android text animation.
I am able to boot the device consistently in APX mode. (The trick is to unplug the power cord before starting, so one can see when the power button is lit, to time the release of the power and reset buttons properly. The tricky part is remembering to plug the power back in.)
Attempts so far
I am trying to start over with a clean (EUU?) ROM, but first, I need the CPUID to get the SBK.
After following blackthund3r's guide at http://acerhacks.com/ , I downloaded the A500 Manager executable. I also got "ICONIATABUSBDriverSetup.exe" from a source I do not recall, but I am fairly certain it was a link from forum.xda-developers.com .
I also followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48827675#post48827675 to get the folder full of "ini" files. I tried manually updating the driver from within Device Manager using files from this folder. This still did not work. :'-(
My plea
Can anyone help? Should I try a friend's Windows 7 computer? I don't want to install Ubuntu. If I must, will installing it inside VirtualBox work?

To get windows to recognize the drivers properly, go into device manager and find the APX driver with yellow triangle. Update the driver for this but chose 'browse my computer for driver software". Direct it to crogram Files (x86)/Acer Inc. This should force it to find the correct driver. I am of course assuming you have the Acer driver installed.
I just bricked and unbricked this device a month ago. What an adventure. APX mode will lead you down the right road. Combined with the toolkits available, you can have it back up in a couple hours.

One thing is getting the uid. If you have an old nandroid off of the device it will be very helpful. There is a file in it that has a number in it that can convert to the UID. if you need more help let me know and I will dig through my history and find the resources I used.

Open up a couple branches in device manager and plug/unplug it. Do this until you find which branch it is in. Then apply the driver the way I mentioned above. At some stage you will come across the branch that changes. It should only take a couple minutes. Just watch and you will see a new item pop up. You are experiencing the same issues that haunted me and this method will work. Start at the bottom of the device manager list and work up. I'm confident it was towards the end. Hearing that connection sound means that it will be there.
My dad has a Nexus 6P.
When he connects it to my Windows 10 PC or his own Windows 10 laptop, nothing appears in Computer (any USB mode on the phone).
Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation mark next to the device.
Trying to reinstall shows that an error occurs whilst installing 'MTP Device' (service installation section in INF invalid).
I have tried installing the standard Android USB drivers, no luck.
I've tried with and without USB debugging mode enabled.
Any ideas?
Is the device having any issues? Like is it boot looping or just dead?
If not, it definitely sounds like a driver issue. Open up your device manager and delete any Google / Android drivers and then reboot the PC. That part is pretty important. PCs can be a little wonky with drivers. After that install them via the method posted in Heisenberg's guide. Reboot the PC again and then try.

There are no drivers to uninstall in Device Manager. If I right-click on the (exclamation mark) device in question, I simply get 'Remove', which 100% doesn't uninstall drivers, presumably because no drivers are installed.
Also, the instructions there require a load of stuff (CMD, platform tools, Android debug bridge and all that rubbish), just to install the drivers. I doubt it's that complicated.

I've given you the tools to get it up and running, whether you choose to use them is up to you. If you read the guide, you'd see that you don't need to install the entire SDK. It's one of the first things mentioned in the drivers section. Good luck.
Edit: Read your post again. Seems you're a little confused. CMD is a program already on your Windows PC. You must use it in order to use fastboot. Fastboot and ADB are literally the drivers you need to install. Not "rubbish." Read that guide and take it to heart. There's a lot of learning ahead for you, no offense.

Even if you don't wan't or need ADB/Fastboot, a link to the standalone USB drivers is provided in the guide. If you still have issues, an existing driver installation is likely causing the problem. There is a free tool called USBDeview you can use to get rid of the conflicting drivers.

If you just want to be able to transfer files back and forth between computer and phone you can try installing Huawei's Windows software which should download necessary drivers. I didn't personally find the software all that useful but it's another option if you aren't looking to do anything complicated with your phone.
