simple question about adb driver installation

I was reading some instruction from htcevohacks.com. Since i didn't decide to root or not yet, i just want to install those sdk and driver on my pc. sdk part is easy, and i installed it successfully. But adb driver part is tricky.
I followed instruction, turn on "USB debugging" in the settings, and reboot phone into recovery mode, plugged usb cable. However, the device manager of windows 7 didn't find any adb devices, then i tried refresh, still no lucky at all. what should I do to find adb device then update driver? or i have to root first b4 installing adb driver?

Install HTC Sync, then reboot your computer

I did, actually. As a matter of fact, i do have that sync icon in my task bar

I am not sure, but i was wondering if the adb driver is necessary to be installed?

Yeah the HTC Sync.exe will have the drivers. Check your hardware configuration to make sure it's installed right then in the folder with adb installed use the command prompt to go: adb devices -> You should see a device with numbers. then you correctly installed it

the problem right now is the device manager cannot even find any "other device" with question mark(when i plug the phone, which is under recovery mode, by usb cable)

this should definitely be in the Q&A board, not the developers board.
since you've already installed htc sync, the drivers should already be properly installed on your system.
ive only ran win xp and vista, not familiar with win 7, but if its designed the same, having no question marks, sounds like all connected devices have drivers properly installed ...
how do you know your adb drivers aren't installed? have you tried using adb? if so, what error does adb show?

Exit HTC sync first on your computer so it is not running or just uninstall it. It should find it after that.

i tried command "adb device", i got some serial number, does that mean adb driver has been successfully installed on my pc, and work properly?

[Q] adb devices (via USB) shows as offline

New device. Odin works, USB storage works, TCP adb works, charging works. Have the latest drivers, which worked fine on the previous device (new device is a closed box warranty replacement). Device shows up in adb devices as "device", but adb freezes when attempting to push or shell. On super rare occasion, I get a shell prompt, but adb freezes immediately. Oftentimes, it shows up as "offline" instead. Have tested numerous cables, numerous USB ports. Reinstalled drivers, reflashed device in odin, reinstalled adb, redownloaded oneclick. Nothing works. Already went through other threads covering the same topic for numerous other devices. What am I overlooking?

Oneclick does not work anymore, not for Gingerbread. Other than that....try and let Windows find and install the drivers from Windows Update.

Meant the tweaked adb in oneclick. I tried to remove the drivers, and let windows search through update, but still no dice. The phone shows up in device manager, is recognized by odin for download mode, and windows as a storage device. However, adb still won't recognize it other than in an offline state.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have USB debugging on right?

Launch ddms.bat from \android-sdk-windows\tools
See if the DDMS application recognizes the device there. If not, then you need to enable USB-debugging and/or try different USB ports (but you said you did the latter already). I found that I must use USB ports directly attached to the motherboard for doing anything with my phone.

@kenny: Yup, USB debugging is enabled.
@nikon120: There's no tool dir, but there is platform-tools. There's no ddms in it.

Hmm, then I gather you don't have the SDK installed. I was just on SDK revision 10 and the folder was there. I also just uninstalled revision 10 and my older JDK installation to do a fresh install of the latest JDK and Android SDK. The tools folder is in this latest install too.

If odin works, just odin cwm 5.0.2.7, then flash su.zip which roots you.

My apologies. "tools" was marked as hidden, and not showing during "dir" in command prompt. I did locate and launch ddms.bat. It shows the device as online, but unresponsive. If I close it, and kill-server, and relaunch, it shows the device as offline.
xboxfanj, I already have CWM flashed, and the device rooted, via Odin. What I'm trying to do is use shell/push.

That's why I inquired whether or not DDMS was recognizing your phone or not. Your reply was that it showed as offline, and that is a good indication as to why adb isn't working for you.
Outside of the phone not having USB debugging enabled, the only other reason I can think of your cause is device drivers for the phone. You said you've already reinstalled the phone drivers and no difference, so you may want to try on another computer or maybe a virtual machine.

1)Unplug the usb and plug it back again.
2)Go to the Settings -> Applications -> Development of your device and uncheck the USB debugging mode and then check it again back!
3)Restart the adb on your PC. adb kill-server and then adb start-server
4)Restart your device and try again.

AT&T S3 not seen by ADB

Ok... i've gone through the steps in the one thread to get the phone rooted and everything without tripping the flash counter. At least the rooting with ODIN part. Been trying to flash CWM Touch for it, but for the life of me can't get the S3 to enter debugging mode over USB so that it can be seen by ADB to do so. I have Debugging over USB checked in the settings on the phone, i've rebooted the phone several times... it just never seems to enter debugging mode (or at least not like on my old Atrix 4G, where it actually told you in the notification bar that debugging was enabled).

It doesn't say debugging enabled. Do you have Kies installed? If so make sure it isn't running. Plug in the phone and type adb devices. If detected adb will report a serial number.

I had installed Kies... tried hooking it up, still wouldn't list in ADB. uninstalled Kies, but kept the drivers installed. And i only mentioned the idea of it saying Debugging enabled when you connect the USB cable because my Atrix 4G said that every time from the get-go.

Also odd.... looked into the SuperUser app... and the log shows several allowed access attempts from "shell"... yet never seemed that way in ADB.

I had the same problem... try going in to the "services" settings and update the driver to Android ADB composite. Other than that, my suggestion is to make sure Kies finds the drivers for both Camera mode and USB mode by toggling the selection while plugged in to Kies.

Your last resort would be to remove the drivers and reinstall them... Don't install Kies...

Or do you think i might have better luck in Ubuntu? Have that installed on my desktop as well.
edit: well... that's odd. booted into Ubuntu, installed the linux Android SDK and everything, got everything set up. opened the terminal, and just checked the devices without being in the ADB Shell... and a device showed up. launched the adb shell... checked devices again... nothing showed up, as on Windows. Figured what the hell, and did the command to install the recovery, and it worked.

It seems to be a driver issue, kies interfering, or a component is missing, or all of that, so I'd start your windows driver and software over fresh...
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall the drivers
Reboot
Install the drivers
Install the Java JDK (64bit has never worked for me, even though the drivers are 64bit)
Install the Android SDK
Use the Android SDK to get the Platform Tools and the Google USB Driver
than adb devices should show a phone

sometimes ADB Devices returns nothing for me, but theres a phone there, it would say nothing connected or to some effect if it didn't find anything...

Yea... every time i entered "adb devices" in the Windows command prompt, it always said "List of detected devices" or whatever it says, but nothing would be there, and if i tried the command to install the recovery it would say it was not a valid directory or whatever. Didn't show up on Ubuntu either, but it still worked...

EDIT/UPDATE: I was using a USB 3.0 port which apparently ADB didn't like (though ODIN rooting on that USB port worked fine...). I switched to another USB port and suddenly it worked!
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I guess it's better than creating a new one for the same purpose...
Doesn't seem like this was resolved and I haven't been able to get my S3 to connect to ADB. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
I had this driver already installed:
ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0
I enabled USB debugging and it wouldn't connect. I installed Kies, still wouldn't connect. I uninstalled the driver and Kies and rebooted. Reinstalled "ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0", installed the Google USB driver, still won't connect.
I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to see any sort of notification in my bar showing that USB debugging mode has been executed but I'm definitely not getting anything like that.
Code:
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
891b0876 offline
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

Yea, when i finally was able to use ADB to push a recovery onto my S3, it never actually showed up if i checked the devices in ADB Shell. Well... it DID, but not if i already typed the SU command before "adb devices".

hey guys
i have same problem i wanna adb my galaxy s3 rogers (att) i am trying to do the root no tripping flash counter so i got to the adb shell part
i dont know what else to do to make my computer recognize my phone ??
i installed sdk and extract/installed it in the c:\android folder of my comp i let sdk installed all the things it needs to took a while
so whats left? i have my phone usb connected to comp and debuging on i type adb shell it says adb is not recognized internal or external command???
do i need to have somthing open on the phone b4 openning command?

You need to navigate to the folder where adb is actually located (platform-tools)

You don't have to use adb, you can use the same commands on terminal emulator

[Q] HTC One X Driver for Android 4.2.2

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like
My HTC
Android Interface Device or possibly android ADB interface

Hmm Very strange.
Try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed

I was having issues with adb not finding my device. These drivers worked for me...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

[SOLVED] ADB ok in recovery sideload only. Normal connection, devicelist empty

Hi All,
There are lots of threads about adb issues, but can't find any solutions.
My issue:
AF2 connected, windows load it as "ASUS_Z00AD" in the devices list, windows file transfer is ok, but "ADB list of devices attached" empty.
AF2 connected in recovery, "ADB list of devices attached" is ok, and adb sideload is working fine.
What I suppose:
It already worked, with android Studio, sending my first Apk to the Fone. Then I played with "Unlock bootloader", and "Wipe with TWRP", and ... finally got the Fone Bricked. Thanks to this forum, I unbricked all, but now, can't do ADB in normal connected mode.
Everything is Ok with my Samsung GS4 mini.
It seems something change in the AFone2.
What I tried:
UnInstall (with powershell pnputil)/ Re-Install Android-SDK Google USB drivers
UnInstall (with powershell pnputil)/ Re-Install last Intel USB Drivers
Tried different releases of ADB, ADBDriver, ADBMaster, ADB-Setup, and so on
I'm blocked, thank's for helping.
