I'm having a really hard time getting adb to recognize my device. I had it work for me once and now I can't get it to again. Also, each time I load sdk, I have to reinstall all the packages. I really don't know what is going on but if anyone out there could provide me a walkthrough I would greatly appreciate it.

Which OS are you using?
Windows Vista.
did you install the driver pack from Samsung?
check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
I tried the one from the Samsung site and that didn't work. I also tried the 32-bit version in that thread you provided to no avail.
do you have USB Debugging enabled?
Yep, USB Debugging checked. I'm in the process of downloading the sdk for like the fifth time. Now when I plug my phone in with USB Debugging checked, my pc doesn't even recognize it and doesn't even try to install the drivers. I made up a font the other day and really want to install it on my phone.

That's ok. Just right click on my computer, then go to device manager. You will see something with the Yellow ! right click on that then say update driver. Point to the folder where the drivers are and you should get success installing the drivers.
computer/properties/advanced/environmental variables "PATH" edit "path to sdk tools" i.e."C:\androidsdk\tools"
Success!! Thank you guys for the help! I updated the sdk this morning and everything is a go! Thanks again!!

I can't seem to get the Windows driver installed for the Evo Shift. I uninstalled the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Android phone and the phone shows up in Device Manager with the Yellow triangle, but whenever I try and update its driver and point it to the USB Driver folder from the Android SDK it says that Windows could not find driver software for the device.
Any ideas here? I did try using ADB to check for devices and nothing shows up in the list.
Thanks for the help.

No, I've been trying to point it to the USB Drivers folder from the Android SDK. I can't seem to find the driver from HTC (or know which is the right one).
I didn't think it was HTC Sync but maybe it is...
If I remember correctly what I did (it was so long ago on windows lol), after you download the sdk from google you have to run the sdk/tools/android program to update and download the windows drivers. After that I went to device manager where the yellow triangle is and then right-click on it and select install manually instead of search online for drivers. Then click the browse button and find where in your sdk folder it downloaded the drivers to (can't remember where they are since so long ago). Select the correct drivers, there's probably more then one so you might have to mess around with trying different drivers out to get it working. Hope that helps and good luck. Or you can try the above method and try out the HTC drivers but I never used those so I can't say how to install them exactly.
Ok, I think I got it working, I guess I did need to install HTC Sync to get the driver.
I now have a device number in ADB. My phone said Couldn't find HTC Sync on the computer but I don't think that matters if the device number was in ADB, correct?
Thanks for the help.

That makes sense, I never ran the program, just had it search the folder. I think I got it working though as mentioned in my post right above this one. Thanks.
You need HTC Sync and you need admin rights to install drivers on windows.

Yeah your all good man, when you do adb devices and get your serial # back all is well, I had sync on my Vista pc and it wouldn't let me use HTC sync, it would just say not found, but I always just used the unrevoked EVO drivers and they hold true to this day, I've done G2s inspire and MT4GS all without new drivers

Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

Sorry for the late update, forgot about the topic... I threw away all the drivers, got the pinkpurple screen and connected to my pc. It's now missing this drivers when connected, Windows can't install them itself. Check the printscreen below.

Ok ty, I started over, deleted all the drivers and let Windows install the drivers themself. Still not working. I find it very strange why Android Composite ADB Interface pops up 4 times in the device manager... As you can see, he installed one by himself >> https://(w)(w)w.dropbox.com/s/lttgky3qozhraf9/kak4.png
I'll try your method.
Kind of frustrating, I can't seem to get my computer to recognize the Nexus 7. I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I do have the Android SDK installed with 4.3 updated to the latest already. Can't imagine what could be triggering this... hmmm
Use the SDK manager to download the Google USB drivers. Head to device manager on your windows, update the driver for the nexus 7 which has an exclamation mark, and select the android SDK folder to install the drivers.
Hope it works for you.. That solved it for me.

Hmmm unfortunately still nothing. When I browse either the usb_driver folder or my SDK folder (with the Google USB drivers), I still get a "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7, Windows could not find driver software for your device." message.
So I've been scratching my head over this one. I tried USB debugging mode, reinstalling the drivers, etc. Basically with USB debugging and the SDK drivers, I can finally get something installed, I see the Android Composite ADB Interface, but MTP is still eluding me. So PTP works fine now, but MTP is so damn annoying...
Once I disable USB debugging, I'm back to square one, its no longer MTP that has the ! sign in device manager, but instead, Nexus 7 again. Searching the SDK folder yields nothing and not even PTP works once USB debugging is gone.

I created the attached MTP driver inf to see if it would address your issue.
If it works let me know which OS version you are running. I think you mentioned windows 7 64-bit, but sometimes people switch machines in the efforts of trying to get things working.
You can install by telling the driver install not to search and to look for the driver in the path you downloaded and EXTRACTED this zip file.
The other way to install is to right click on the ? question mark entry in devmgmt.msc and go to the tab with the update driver option.

Thank you! That worked fantastic, still running Windows 7 64-bit. Can I ask what you did to get this working?
EDIT: This works fine for USB Debugging Mode, but when I turn that off, the Nexus 7 will try and install this MTP driver and get a "this device cannot start" error (on Windows). Although I'm more than happy with this solution, just info for anyone browsing this thread later on.

If you want, you can try the version in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391236
This driver inf only affects MTP under USB debugging and will defer to windows for MTP when USB debugging is turned off.
You'll need to go to devmgmt.msc and Portable Devices, find Nexus 7, right-click, find the option to uninstall drivers, choose that, righ-click on Nexus 7, remove device, reboot.
Then specify the new path for the driver install (the one from that thread is mtp_driver, instead of mtp_driver_all in this thread)
Also you may want to post your experiences on that thread so people can find it in the future.
Yep I can confirm this one works as well. Awesome!

Do you still have the issue where it says device could not be started when you turn off usb debugging?
Not sure if I'm having the same problem or just similar.
With usb debugging mode enabled, the tablet appears as Nexus 7 with no drivers found.
Without usb debugging mode, the Nexus 7 doesn't appear at all, not even under "other devices" or as a .USB composite device.
First tried installing Google USB Driver Rev. 8 from the SDK manager, with no luck.
Trying to manually install the extracted WPDMTPNX.INF driver with "Include subfolders" checked gives "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7" as a result.
ROM: ParanoidAndroid 3.93

I believe your USB IDs are different from stock because of the ROM you are running.
I don't think it will fix your problem of not seeing the device properly with usb debugging disabled (I think that is possibly a rom issue), but it should theoretically get your device visible with usb debugging enabled.
Right-click on Nexus 7 in start menu->run->devmgmt.msc and choose the tab that allows you to update drivers and specify a folder where you unzip'd the zip file.

Nope, it works fantastic!
My device is currently allowing debug mode. It is not rooted nor unlocked.
I plugged in my device and windows gave this weird sound (sorta sounded like three low beats in quick succession). I went to my device manager and it shows a Nexus 4 with an exclamation icon.
I opened up the properties and it says
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
This is due to the fact that i uninstalled the drivers manually so i can try to reinstall them but when I chose to update the drivers and navigated to my /extras/google/usb_driver folder but immediately after i click the next button for it to install it brings up a window that says
"Windows could not find driver software for your device.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and visit its support section for driver software."
this comes up immediately after clicking next, if i choose to search online for driver software this same window pops up after about a minute.
What is going on and why wont it allow me to install my drivers?

Pull down from the top of your screen and select Connected as a media device to switch to PTP.
Have you installed any other USB devices lately?
Have you tried rolling back the drivers on your PC if they've been updated?
You could also follow a tool kit like Wugs for the driver installation. You don't have to root or unlock your bootloader with it.

When i plug my device in only one thing appears on the pull down menu. It says
"USB debugging connected
Touch to disable USB debuggin"
and if i touch it it brings up the developer options screen in the settings.
There is no thing that says "Connected as" or any other meaning of the words in my pull down menu.
Thanks for the link to the toolkit, if no one has any other suggestions i will attempt to use that (and hopefully that works).
EDIT: I tried using the toolkits usb driver installation guide and i get the same error..

Yeah it uses wugs toolkit. I had problems installing the drivers on my laptop but the instructions from the website helps. Its mainly the part of uninstalling. Instructions 14 and 15 are the most important ones. Previous drivers conflicting with it.

Plug your phone in USB to your computer and go to your Device Manager. Under "Android Device" you should see something along the lines of "Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface". Right click, go to uninstall and then check off "Delete the driver software for this device." After this I unplugged my phone and rebooted. You may or may not need to put your phone into fastboot and uninstall the "Google Nexus 4 BootLoader Interface" driver as well (to get them both) -- I really don't remember.
I used to use toolkits as well, but I've grown to be independent of them and like to get more involved than I once did.
The short version: You said you were given the option to "Update driver". Just click that and then, from the List, pick USB Composite driver.
