Brand new computer shouldnt be a problem thanks for all who help

Come on I read so much stuff about adb on this forum noone has any idea?
V5 custom vibrant

if you have a 64bit computer (assuming win7 64bit or vista 64bit installed) then you must install the 64bit version of java as well.
Open up 64bit intern explorer, head to java's website, and look through stuff to find the 64bit download.

I'll try it anything else that comes to mind is appreciated thank you broseph

Newbie needs help with adb

Hi.
I'm trying to make some custom native software for android but I need some help getting started.
What I have done so far is getting a HTC Hero, GSM version.
Flashed a custom rooted ROM. update-hero-generic-2.73.405.38-rooted-signed.zip
Installed the sdk and ndk on Windows.
Downloaded and built the open source android project in a VMWare ubuntu image.
What I'm trying to do now is to get ADB talking to my Hero.
I have USB debugging on in the applications->development menu on in the Hero.
When I attach the phone to my XP PC it detects it and asks for drivers, I point it to drivers in android-sdk-windows\usb_driver, windows won't load them because they do not match the hardware.
I can install the driver manually but eventhough the device manager lists it as working (android phone with android composite ADB interface) adb cant find it.
adb devices just give me an empty list.
I tried this on a Windows 7 box and it seemed to work there, is there something special I need to do to get it working on XP?
Installing HTC Sync (drivers included) should resolve.
Thanks!
I actualy tried that before posting but it did not seem to work.
I now tried it again and this time I manually installed the driver in the HTC directory and now it works.

Windows 7 64 bit and HTC Sync

Hi,
I know there have been threads on this before but largely they just mention installing the Vista 64 bit drivers (done that). I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with the Vista 64 bit drivers and MCR 2.8 (although I was on stock and 2.2 with the same problem). HTC Sync on the phone just will not find it on the PC. I can mount the SD card with no trouble, just problems with Sync.
Any suggestions as to what I can do? Please feel free to direct me to another thread that I've missed so long as it's not just about the drivers.

In addition to HTC sync and the drivers, have you tried getting the android sdk? I know that I had issues with HTC sync finding my phone as well when syncing it to Win7 x64, so try following this guide here, it might allow HTC sync to view the phone properly. The guide teaches you how to setup adb-usb drivers which might trigger the application to know that your phone is there.
I had the same problem, turns out one of the task killer apps that I had been using had killed the sync process. Might be a plan to check if the same has happend to you.

Hi Princedwi and Florida,
Thanks for the replies. I'm confident that my sync process is still running as I've tried numerous reboots of phone and PC so the task killer wouldn't have had chance to stop the process. However I will give it a go just to make sure.
Regarding the SDK, I'll try that when I get home. I used to have the SDK installed but then I did a re-install of windows and haven't bothered installing the sdk yet. May well work, I'll let you know.

Hi,
Ok tried it at home. The SDK isn't installing in the same way as I remember it doing last time. A DOS box flashes up and then disappears when I run SDK setup.exe.
Any other ideas?

2.0.18 is out now... should be W7 compatible -

I had to install the Vista 64 bits drivers twice to get them working properly. The first time my hero appeared as "HTC Hero ADB". Rebooted, connected to USB, opened notifier, selected PC-Sync and reinstalled drivers (always choosing the folder where HTC should be leaving their drivers). This second time it appeared as "MY HTC" and it worked fine then. So just try again until you see the magic word "My HTC".

Because from android 1.6 setup process has changed in SDK. Normally it opens a windows from where you can add the version of android SDK you want and install the driver.

Same problem here with windows 7 64bit. Not sure if it's related to java environnement installed (For example when i installed JRE on my win7 64 the JAVA_HOME env variable was not set, i had to do it manually).

Nope for now but if I found the problem be sure i'll post it here.
Ok I found the solution. My problem is that I've installed only the JRE but according to the requirements (developer.android.com/intl/fr/sdk/requirements.html) we need the JDK also.
So i've uninstalled the JRE 1.6 (64bit) I had, and installed the JDK 1.6 (32bit as i saw many ppl having problem with 64bit and android SDK). And it worked, I run againg the "SDK Setup.exe" and it opened the windows as intended.
I had the same problem, even with 2.0.18. what I did was install HTC Sync 2.0.18 (with the drivers copied in Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Vista_x64). then go to device manager, ADB interface, update driver, browse for a list of compatible software and choose My HTC.
after rooting it (although I'm not sure this is the cause) it happened now and then to fail to get recognized by the computer so I followed the same steps to update the drivers to My HTC.
I can't install HTC Sync 2.0.18, it gives an error about some resource file not found and closes. I tried on two different computers with the same result. Anyway 2.0.8 works fine here after I reinstalled the 64 bits driver until it was detected as "My HTC".
the same for me.
after update to version 2.0.18 my win7 64bit didnt find my phone anymore...

HTC Drivers

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a link to download the HTC Bootloader drivers. It fails when I try and load "something" in Windows.
Thanks.
p.s: This will lead to good things...
The only drivers that I am aware of are the ones that are in the Android SDK Toolbox and in the HTC Sync program. Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, they aren't specific drivers ie "bootloader" drivers. They are just drivers to get your comp to recognize the phone when its attached.
I'm assuming this is something you're expirementing with to get root via the adb in recovery, if so, good luck.

Hi crax0r,
The folks at Android (aka Google) provide these instructions for installing the drivers. It involves installing their SDK first, and installing Java for that, and an IDE called eclipse.... UGH.
The HTC "Sync" Application that hoovnick is referring to can be found here.
It has been so long ago that I installed drivers (on a WinXp x32 laptop) that I can't remember what order I did things in, whether or not the driver used by HTC sync is sufficient for fastboot but not adb (or vice versa), whether I did the SDK install first, etc etc etc. As a matter of fact, it's been so long ago that the computer that I did it on is now dead, and here I am using a Linux machine.
For all I know, the order you do things in affects the outcome - it sure seems like a lot of folks with Windows 7 complained about driver troubles.
One thing is for sure, though - setting up the entire Android SDK (+ Java + Eclipse + ...) in order to install a device driver has to be the worlds most roundabout way of doing a driver install.
If you are considering using the "fastboot" method to install Amon_RA's recovery boot, you might try just installing HTC Sync first, and see if that is sufficient for getting fastboot talking to the phone. That install is way, way easier than setting up the SDK to get a driver installed.
The other thing which is an option, if you are a little bit Linux-savvy, is to boot one of those "Live CDs" (Ubuntu, SuSe, etc) on your PC - there are no drivers to install in the case of Linux, you just need to be running as "root" on the Live (linux) CD to get fastboot to talk to the phone. The downloads (fastboot for Linux and the Amon_RA recovery image) are small, and they will both easily fit in the /tmp folder of the Linux (Live CD) boot on the PC.
Once you have Amon_RA on the phone, you won't need the SDK any longer, unless you want to start doing dev-like things; that's why a one-time boot into Linux would also work.

I <3 Ubuntu. It's amazing!
bftb0, I am trying to install only the driver from the SDK tools, but when I follow the instructions for a fresh install, and point windows to the folder with the driver in it, windows says it can't find a driver there. What am I doing wrong here?

It's OK. I'm running Ubuntu now.

Excellent. Just remember to always run fastboot as root, and if using adb, then the first time after you boot (the PC), run adb as root.
The reason is that by default, Ubuntu won't let an unprivileged user access the USB.
Since I have adb and fastboot in my Ubuntu (regular user) PATH, I usually just do a
$ sudo `which adb` blah-blah-blah
or
$ sudo `which fastboot` blah-blah-blah

I don't know - I've already forgotten everything I did with the driver install in Windows, and I don't currently have a working Windows machine. Sorry I can't be of more help. As I said, the troubles people have been having seem to depend on which version of Windows (Xp/Vista/7), whether its x32 or x64, phase of the moon, etc. Seems like people run into snags on Win7 or x64 versions of Windows more than Xp-32, but I don't know why that is.
Keep plugging away at it. If you are looking for resources to help resolve the problem, I would go look at docs relating to Windows driver install troubleshooting - the driver install problem seems to be a Windows issue, not really anything to do with the SDK.

Sounds like what happened to me. i had to hit the icon at the top of my phone that showed the usb cable.. i had to switch charge only to disk drive "mount as disk drive"... folder popped right up on my windows machine asking how i wanted to open the file
I have the SDK running and my phone being recognized on my computer with Vista but I have another one running XP 32 bit and windows will NOT recognize the .inf? Any ideas? I deleted all previous HTC drivers and tried that approach but nothing seems to be working.

I NEED HELP PLES!!!
Need more information. I understand you are panicking a bit, but in order to help, you need to tell us what Operating System. Is it Windows 7? Vista? Xp? 32-bit or 64-bit?
If you don't know you can find this in system properties by right clucking on My Computer and selecting properties.

its Windows 7 x64 bit
Uninstall all your previous drivers, uninstall kies, and then reboot. After which you need to install a fresh copy of the drivers found here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9100LKAXEU-downloads?isManualDownload=true# click on the downloads on the side and download the top one which has kies included.
After installation reboot again, and plug your phone in, does it recognize it this time?
