[SOLVED] ADB Setup for Windows

Hey all. This is for those of you having issues with ADB and Windows.
Source link
This is assuming you already have the SDK, it's installed, you're just having issues with the actual ADB driver.
Basically you download PDANet - it will take care of of the ADB drivers for you. Note - you WILL have to reboot the computer before the drivers actually work. Thanks to robinsondom for the linky, and thanks to theunlockr.com for that fantastic guide! It appears to cover basically any issues you may run into with ADB and Windows!

Hi arrrghhh,
I had a similar problem getting the drivers to work on my PC. I bookmarked a site that was very helpful, as I recall, in resolving this. Unfortunately, I still might have too few posts to upload a link. Let's see...
ok, that didn't work... maybe my next post...?

Hmm, you would think that 3+ years of responsible "lurking" (plus a few posts) might take me out of the "new user" category and allow me to post links -- but it seems I still need 5 posts no matter what. Maybe after this post (my 5th)...?

Trying one last time to post the link I mentioned...
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
I hope you find it helpful.

lol I just thought a bunch of people responded
Unfortunately lurking for 3 or 30 years doesn't really make a difference. All goes by post count, you need 5 to be able to post a link. You're now at 6, congrats
I'll try that out now... I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
Update - that did it! I'm definitely saving this article. It seems USBDeview should only be used if your PC isn't prompting you.
I was pretty skeptical, but for whatever reason the drivers that PDANet offered to the system it took, when the ones that worked previously (same PC, same phone....) didn't work. Go figure.
Thanks again dude!
I updated my first post with credit & the solution. Awesome!

Download and install Droid Explorer standalone version.

Hi,
I've installed SDK and then the PDANet Software and it solved my driver problems. And now with the Droid Explorer I should be able to access my device and the SD card, but the Explorer does not find my HTC Touch Pro. What shall I do now??
Sry, I'm a Newbie in this Android stuff and I am very confused ^^

Hrm. Do you see the two USB-related icons in the notification bar in Android? It indicates two things, USB debugging (aka ADB) and USB mass storage (not working yet... probably not till we're full NAND.) So make sure it's enabled there... One other possibility is you're using a very old kernel that doesn't include USB support...?
ADB is a very advanced tool/topic... it's mainly for debugging. Not really noob-friendly - we're not at that stage yet.

Yes, I can see the two icons. I don't know what you mean with kernel?!
I just want to put some music on my device, without pulling out the card or using Windows Mobile Am I on the wrong way?

Uhm... probably easier to just pull the card. ADB is really meant to be used for debugging issues.
It's just the only way we can currently access the device in lieu of USB mass storage support.
Not sure what confused you about my kernel statement. Perhaps you need to update your kernel, that's all I'm saying... if you're running an older kernel, it might not have the correct support.
However, if you saw the icons in the notification bar, I would think USB support is working.

[Guide][TOOL] FASTBOOTROOT (deprecated)

(DEPRECATED)
I no longer support or care to support this is someone wants to take over and deal with this and the complaints go for it. It has not been tried on the 2.2.2 version of android in case you want to try it.
Tired of all those funky ways of rooting? Wanna just push a button and be rooted?
Guess what I've got something for you.
Introducing FastbootRoot (patent not pending) for the virgin mobile optimus v
FastbootRoot was designed with simplicity in mind. The easy to use ui makes rooting your lg optimus easy and quick without all those adb commands. It takes the guess work out ( is this right, what does he mean by that? ) of rooting your phone.
Features:
flash a custom recovery
this feature only flashes a custom recovery without rooting your phone giving you the ability to back up your current system without root. I put this in here in case of needing to return the phone for warranty matters
flash the entire shebang
This flashes a new boot image, a new system image*, and custom recovery.
Revert to stock
thanks to destundead we now have the stock system image and boot combined with my stock recovery we are good to go
New experimental install windows xp fastboot drivers
My goal is to fully automate this process and to make this as painless as possible for the new users. This new feature is untested and will either work or it won't. Give me some feedback if it does or doesn't.
--------------------------How to Use--------------------------
Download fastbootroot from here and place it on your desktop.
Download the usb drivers from here
On your phone turn on usb debugging by pushing menu, then settings, then applications, then development, and then usb debugging.
Install the drivers ( I find that rebooting after the drivers have been installed will install a whole new set of drivers. I recommend this method)
unzip fastbootroot and inside double click the fastbootroot file. Make your selection and your done.
Here's a video on using it and a little explanation
watch it here
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS:
no need to install usb drivers
Enjoy this and remember this works fully on windows 7 and I tested it myself. No matter what there's always room for user error though in which case I take no responsibility if things go wrong.
PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS
Some people are reporting problems like drivers not installing or other things. First off if you have a problem you need to state exactly what operating system you are using (windows 7, windows vista, or windows xp).
This only works with the virgin mobile optimus v. Make sure you have the virgin mobile optimus v (not a optimus t, m or a picture of the v pasted on top of a w490)
Tell me what you did exactly don't lie. I know from experience when someone says, 'I did this I definitely didn't do that', whether or not they are holding something back. The more info you can give the better if your holding something back that's gonna delay the process.
This is free. I ask for donations but they aren't required at all. So when your asking for more things remember this is free.
Like my work donate to me herehttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FEP8NQ8J49MX8
*the new system image is stock with root, flash_image and busybox installed

yep the only thing that you gotta do is download fastbootroot and the lg drivers. It will take care of everything else for you. I will say that I've tested this and my earlier variant of it quite a few times. I even made a video for the other one.

Downloading this now. will give it a try. Thanks!

This does not seem to be happening. How can I abort the fastboot procedure so I can reboot and try again?

Hello? Please someone be there who can help me!
The detection sequence you describe did not work, Windows is not finding the drivers properly. Is it safe to reboot the machine while in fastboot? Can I unplug the USB without bricking my phone?
--bornagainpenguin

If nothing has flashed, I'm sure you're fine. It dependant on how far it got .
Would op mind posting the manual way to root through fast boot?

I removed the battery and the phone restarted without issues. Not sure why things did not go the way they're supposed to--could it be because I had the drivers from the ROMTOOLS package installed before? NOTE: Prior to trying this procedure I uninstalled all of those and rebooted before installing the drivers linked here.
Another thought, OP says he is running Windows Seven; I am on Windows XP. Could this have anything to do with my trouble?
--bornagainpenguin
UPDATE: I tried installing the drivers included with the ROMTOOLS package and my phone was recognized again. No luck when trying to run fastboot. Not sure why this is happening or why I am unable to use the drivers OP linked to. They seem to install when clicked but the system doesn't seem to think the drivers apply to this phone for some reason...

Okay what happened was your fastboot drivers didn't install correctly I'm in the process of uploading a video to show you how to install the fastboot drivers.
I wrote this while before your last post yes there is a problem with windows xp. It doesn't download them like it would on windows 7. I can test all day long on windows 7 but not on xp. The method in the video should work for xp users

I appreciate the effort, but unless the video is closed captioned it may not do me much good. I am hard of hearing (one of the reasons why I picked this phone was its high T4 rating which works well with my hearing aids and telecoil adapter --think headphones for hard of hearing people) so cannot always hear audio on videos very good.

here's the video

I've integrated the fastboot drivers into the next release for windows xp I need a beta tester before I release this.

Does this just root our existing system, or does it install a whole new rooted image (requiring us to reinstall all of our programs and settings)?
I have XP, by the way. If it just roots, I would be willing to beta test (but if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work, I want to be able to get back to where I was as my phone works well).

This is F*****KIN GREAT!!!! Thanks!!

I'm having bootloop issues and I see a post here which suggests that one way to fix the situation is with fastboot. Do you know if fastboot can help me? If so, how?

okay so i flashed ubuntu and i want to return to android. didnt really like ubuntu. my problem is that i cant connect my phone to my computer (windows 7) via usb and put in an android rom. i cant connect my phone to my computer via usb through recovery when i select "mount usb".
there isnt seem to be any "settings" on ubuntu that allows me to select usb mount. D:> help will be appreciated

This thread makes me think we need a dedicated Ubuntu section, I have a feeling this is the first of many many Ubuntu questions. Anybody agree? Is that even possible?
OP can you not download it straight to the phone instead of using the computer? Is there not any file manager apps yet or something?

i dont see any file manager apps on ubuntu. it doesnt even have a market place.
i was assuming my phone will automatically connect to my computer so i can drag files into it. ubuntu didnt do that and the phone isnt listed under "my computer"
im just going to get the stock images from google's website and install it using the galaxy toolkit.

you dont need a toolkit. you need to make sure fastboot works on your computer and verify you have fastboot drivers installed.
the google img flash will work just fine, as long as your drivers are proper and you have fastboot

U should of read before flashing this. Ubuntu os is NOT!!! a daily driven rom. But just like any other rom you flash u should of backed up and paid attention to what u where doing. Sorry to hear what happens to u but it is what it is.

Best custom rom for the LG G4?

Hello, I'm getting today the LG G4(H815) and Im wondering what is the best rom to install?
I've heard the battery life is not very good becuase of the LG interface, so a custom rom should fix it, and from what I've seen there's not much different between Android 5.1 and 6, so I don't really mind, what custom rom do you use, and why?
Thanks.

I'm running die latest nightly of CM 13 and in my opinion it's very good!
Everything I need for daily use just works fine.

There is no "BEST" for every body. There is only what people have found is best for them based on how they use their phone, their signal, setup, preferences, etc. They found what was best for them by reviewing all the top listed ROMs in the development section. The top list means they are the most active. Read the first few posts on each and find out what features they have and if those are the ones you are looking for. Then read the last 10 pages or so to see if anyone has any problems and how they fixed them. Then choose the one you want to try...back up your current setup, wipe all data and flash the new ROM. Give it a try and see if that is the one that is BEST for you. If not, restore your setup or try again.
Happy Flashing!

Go into your app drawer. Go to Settings then to the very bottom for device info, then something that sounds like Hardware info. You will find your IMEI number in there.

If it says Device not found, you do not have ADB drivers properly installed. Try to download and install fresh drivers for your phone..or plug it into another port and watch the driver installation to make sure all drivers are installed. If you get a red X for ADB driver then you need to remove drivers, download updated ones and install.

On the same topic, how is the camera on other roms?
I'm assuming on all STOCK variants we have the same camera app as LG provides.
But what happens with CM13 for instance? (do we have manual controls, is the quality degraded...?)
Thanks

Either way, your device will need to be recognized by ADB to unlock the bootloader. Make sure if you are using a desktop to use the USB ports in the back directly on the motherboard and not the ones in the front. Do you have any errors in device manager? Whichever error you have you need to fix that driver. With my 6P I had problems with the Google USB driver. Took me 2 hours to realize which was the problem and find one that would install somewhere on the net.

I actually do have a little problem, sometimes, with different time periods, but every now and then, my keyboard stops working for like 2 seconds, my computer is trying to find usb keyboard driver, it fails to update it, but the keyboard still works, don't know if it have any connection, but I'll try to do it on another computer(don't know why I didn't thought of it until now ;o)
Edit - not working on other computer as well, really don't know what to do ;\

Custom ROM's are generally good overall. CandySIX and Resurrection are both extremely good ROM's. However, where they lack seriously is the quality of sound generally from the speakers and headphones. That being said, its best to settle for a Stock based ROM. IMHO Imperium ROM is unparalleled in that department, best battery backup and of course awesome sound. It even integrates with Viper Audio very well. Its my everyday ROM at the moment. If anyone thinks differently, please do let me know. I would love to get some opinions on this.

DM-verity is a non issue with MTP/fastboot/adb. It's usually related to the USB cable or port itself, or a driver issue (fastboot/adb or device).
When you connect and toggle the USB setting to MTP, toggle it to charge only then to MTP again. I've noticed in the past that it takes longer for the PC to recognize or it requires a second try.

windows 8.1 only, hasn't changed. I'll try following this guide tomorrow : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-flashing-oos-v4-0-1-custom-rom-t3537757
and start from scratch, please suggest if I should be following any other guide if there is one. Thanks.

Mate, i can't tell you what to do.
On my case, it was windows 10. How i know? I try co connect at work (windows 7) & it workt fine. Reinstal windows, all ok.
FIRST, i suggest to check on another PC. If it works, 100% it's youre windows.

Ok so this is what I did. I went to device manager > right click mtp > update driver software > browse my computer > let me pick > mtp USB device > happy me ??

Good for you buddy, the mtp option doesn't even come up in device manager, it used to earlier, but not anymore

It may sound stupid but my windows 7 couldnt detect my op3 as well ytd..
Then I restarted both my phone and pc and it worked.

No buddy, not at all stupid, though that didn't work for me
