[Q] Setting up adb without installing Moto software - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to simply connect the USB cable and connect to the device via ADB from my win7 x64 pc..
I've installed the latest set of USB drivers from the android SDK but am failing to update the driver since it says its not compatible with a windows x64 based system.
Anyone have any luck?

You need to install the Motorola drivers...that's the same for every phone. You need the drivers for the model phone you're trying to connect to.

Ok thanks - was thinking i could use the generic one from the SDK but guess i can't. Thanks.
EDIT: confirmed that using the Motorola ones do the trick - and i can connect to the device using ADB without going into Media sync or Phone portal mode.

if you want to be even more fancy, install adbwireless on the phone, and you can do all the adb stuff over wifi.

Unfortunately doesn't work in the workplace for me

ADB failing to install?

So I just got an Atrix and im trying to root it, however when I plug it in, after setting USB Mode to None and turning on the USB Debug, ADB drivers fail to install. It shows up in my device manager with a ! ontop of the icon, and windows tells me it cant find a driver. I manually downloaded the drivers but that still didnt help, my phone isnt making a connection of the bridge. Ive wiped everything everything motorola related, reinstalled the drivers manually, reinstalled the ADB driver manually, rebooted about 10 times and now im absolutely stuck.
Has anyone run into this before? Im going to try plugging the phone into my work computer today, but id like to be able to get this working on my home computer. I followed the guide thats available out there that tells you to run the driver installer and delete all the files it shows, and that didnt help either. Im on Windows 7 but i also have a laptop with Ubuntu available, however i couldnt find a rooting guide for linux so im not sure if that will help.

I got it sorted. Installed the ADB driver manually (choosing the regular adb driver NOT the composite driver) and then ran super one click to start the ADB service. Then once the phone was connected, ran aroot and it worked.

Xperia U adb devices not showing on Windows 7 x86

I've got an Xperia U (st25i) unbranded firmware 6.0.B.3.184, but my Windows 7 x64 doesn't show adb device at all, I have a working mtp device (that looks like it cannot be disabled). Same device works fine in adb on linux, even passing the usb device to a vmware machine with linux.
I've tried with Xperia_P_Xperia_U_Xperia_sola_drivers.zip and install PC Companion, but the adb devices still does not show, if I force add the adb interface from inf, windows 7 says it cannot start, there is same problem on windows 7 x86. Windows xp x86 instead automatically installs mtd devices but prompts for the adb device drivers, so I can give him the drivers. Any clue?
Make sure PC is connected to internet then connect the device in fastboot mode. Win7 downloads and installs drivers automatically.

Had the Same issue. Just Google for win7 64bit and xda. Sorry i have no Link. But Problem solved easy

I don't need fastboot drivers, just adb to develop, I'm always connected, but adb interface does not show at all in device manager, I don't have unknown/failed devices in device manager

You have the "wrong" drivers installed. Use the drivers provided with c:\flashtool\drivers
-> then turn off internet on pc before connecting phone. <- prevents windoze from auto install via update

The only driver windows automatically install is the mtd (that doesn't need internet because is in win), I don't have the device VID_0FCE&PID_5171&MI_01 but only VID_0FCE&PID_5171
It's a bit strange a common developer should download a non sony tool to develop with a sony phone
I had a similar problem with my XS, I get around it by enabling 'install PC companion' in connectivity settings under 'xperia'. Then when you plug the phone in, on your phone select install. It should then appear both as an MTP device the PCC installation, just cancel that latter.
I've used the wrong thread title, it should be x64 not x86, I've just verified that windows 7 32bit downloads and installs the adb driver, I had similar problem with gt7500 on windows xp 64bit, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434319
I've solved modifying the inf file, I think I cannot change inf on windows 7 x64 because the driver becomes unsigned. Perhaps gt7500 works fine on windows 7
Heh... You stiill refuse to listen.
Install drivers provided with flashtool. Just doit and report back

tested with internet disconnected and drivers pack in flashtool-0.9.1.0-windows.exe, same thing, windows shows only mtp device

Tell Me how Please....:crying:
I just solved this issue for my Xperia S.
Here are the steps:
1. Install driver on flashtool (I also install the pc companion)
1. On device manager, open the MTP device, and select reinstall device driver
2. Choose install the driver manually and list the compatible driver
3. It would only show one "USB Composite Device" for this device and install it
4. After the driver installed, the adb device just shows up!

[Q] Connecting my SGS2 (sgh-i777) w new operating system (WINDOWS 8)

Okay, so I just updated my computer to Windows 8 and cant figure out how to connect my phone to the computer. I would like to access my interior and exterior card thru my computer but when I connect it with the usb nothing seems to happen. A small screen will pop up saying it is installing the device, but then it just finishes installing and still does not recognize the device is connected at all. Do I need to install any certain programs on my comp? I'm running ThunderBolt Rom v5 - 4.1.2..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try connecting it in Download mode and let it install drivers, then remove ur phone, reboot phone and retry connection.

Tried it. Still no luck. Its connected but only charges. Comp still doesn't recognize it. I think Samsung needs to release drivers that are compatible with Windows 8. Are there none out there as of yet?
When I was running the win8 preview once I plugged in my phone it installed the drivers make sure you're connected to the Internet. I can't say if the final win8 is the same. Another way to get the drivers would be the Android sdk package but that is a lot more in depth.... GL

I'm running the Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and am able to connect in both MTP and USB mode. Maybe you could also try installing the USB drivers from Samsung's website. They are for Windows 7, but should work for Win 8. You could probably try installing Kies as well, run it and connect the phone and see what happens. Also, try changing the connection mode if the rom supports it.

[Q] ADB driver/composite device problem

Hi there,
I got a really nasty problem here: when I connect my Sony Xperia T to my home computer, the ADB driver will be installed properly. When I connect the same phone to my work computer, Windows just doesn't want to accept the drivers. The following things are equal:
- USB debugging is always on on the phone
- Both computer are running Windows 7 64bit
- On both computers I am pointing the Windows driver installation at the same folder with drivers downloaded from Sony.
The thing that is different is the device ID that Windows reports in the Details dialogue from Device manager:
On the home PC it is:
USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5182&REV_0228&MI_01
USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5182&MI_01
On the other PC where things go wrong it is:
USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5182&REV_0228
USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5182
So it seems Windows is not recognizing the phone as a composite device (MI is it multiplexing identifier?). I double checked that USB debugging is always on and also rebooted Windows.
What could could be causing this strange problem?
Android version is 4.1.2 (original Sony firmware).
Thanks
Tom
You could search for the adb drivers for your phone on Sony's website, maybe they are available there

This is exactly what I did! Downloaded the adb driver from Sony's website. Installed them on one computer - works. Transferred exactly this driver package to the second computer with a USB Stick.
On the second computer, Windows does not find a matching driver for the same phone in the same driver package.
The reason apparently is that the phone reports a slightly different USB id when connected to the second computer (missing the MI at the end of the ID, see my original post).

The drivers included in the Android SDK work fine for me. I had to go into device manager and manually install them (let me select driver, have disk, navigate to SDK\Extras\Google\USB Driver\, select Android Composite ADB Driver).
My laptop dont even recognize my phone period.it dont show up as other device or anything its like its not even connected but it charges.
