Can someone help me with adb please - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive always gotten it to work on my devices. I had it working on my TB, then I got a replacement and now it doesnt work. I instaalled HTC sync, uninstalled it, let Windows install the drivers. That keeps failing. I have debug checked. I keep getting "error device not found"

i sort of ran into this problem myself.
i had to uninstall htc sync and then start the entire sdk/adb install all over. somehow htc sync messes with the other method of installing the drivers. this is what i used.
the files are in the video description.

[SOLVED] Problem installing USB drivers for ADB

So I set out to root my phone and am in the process to trying to install the USB drivers so i can use ADB. At first, windows installed it's own drivers, which obviously didn't work. I tried to update the drivers in the device manager to the ones located in the google-usb directory, but it said i already had the latest installed.
Next i decided to uninstall the current drivers completely and start over. I then told it to install the drivers that were located the in the google-usb directory. It said no drivers were found. They were obviously there, so i manually gave it the "android_winusb.inf" driver as per the cyanogen mod wiki page instructions on installing the drivers. It then said that "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I'm new to this so thanks for any help at all. I really want to learn my way around this kind of stuff.
Try it with your phone in mass storage mode with debugging on.
Still no luck. I've had it in debugging mode and charge only. Switched to disk drive mode and no change
Just download HTC Sync and use the drivers it provides. Should work for using adb.

Now it can't even find HTC Sync on my computer... It's installed and i just used it the other day. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that i uninstalled the drivers it had? It can't communicate now?
This is what I used, worked great.
This might help also, he goes over installing the drivers a few minutes in.
Hope it works out for you.

Problem solved!! I added the lines of code to the driver file to support the thunderbolt and it installed no problem. Thank you very much.

You're more than welcome. You might re-title the post with [Solved] at the beginning so anyone with the same problem know to look here.
Just wanted to mention here that this was noted a while back and the CM Wiki will be updated with an easy way to correct this for Thunderbolt as well as other devices soon.
what's the solve?

ADB Error device offline

Error device offline
It only says this on one computer. The rest are fine. What do I do? I've already installed the drivers.

It is most likely a confliction from a program on your computer, such as easy.tether, pdanet, doubletwist, HTC sync, or anti virus. I get device offline if something is interfering with the phone when trying to use adb.

I'm getting the same error running Win7 64bit. Tried installing HTC Sync, uninstalling it, disabling antivirus, and using the "auto-detect" windows drivers. I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?
Fixed the problem. For those of us with newer motherboards you may want to make sure you have your phone connected to a USB 2.0 and not 3.0. 3.0 will cause it to become unstable and crash your pc. Moved it to a 2.0 slot and it worked perfectly, go figure.

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.
I just did this today, install SDK from android.com; then you have to install HTC Sync.

You don't actually need HTC Sync. I've never installed it and don't plan on it. All you need is a custom driver .inf that we put together for you already.
This should help you if you have any questions installing the sdk.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
You could always just install HTC sync (which will install the drivers) and then uninstall HTC sync. The drivers will not be uninstalled.

I followed that set up exactly, but I am unable to get adb to recognize my device at all. No "Unknown Device" shows up in device manager so I can not change the driver for it. Not sure why I have such trouble with adb. It's never worked for me.
Are you setting the path to the platform tools in your system variables?

And as expected, not only will ADB not work, not that I changed the drivers according to the guide, my computer won't recognize my phone when it's plugged in as a disk drive. Running Bamf 2.4.1. I rooted with the 3 step/"1 click" method months ago and never had any problems. I try to get adb set up so I can do things properly and learn and now I have nothing but problems.

Got it sorted. I ended up deleting the android sdk and starting from scratch using the first link....and it didn't work again. Tried the video link above...and it didn't work. Then I figured I'd try to delete the adb device in Device Manager, unplug my phone, then plug it back in. That worked for some reason. Now it shows up in adb properly, and I can connect it as a disk drive as well. Huzzah indeed.

Can't USB tether. Windows won't install driver

Hi guys,
Please help me out. I'm about to pull my hair out!!
I installed Kies and the USB drivers, but everytime I try to USB tether, Windows 7 fails to install the driver. I tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers on the computer where it won't work, but it still won't install.
The weird thing is that I plugged in the phone into another computer also running win 7 and that computer easily found the right driver and installed it. Didn't need to install Samsung drivers.
What happens is the driver is downloaded, tries to install, then gives me an error. I attached an image of the error I get. Any advice would be appreciated!
There's a program called driver magician that allows you to take and save a driver off one computer and restore it in another.
If you don't go that route you can always leave the phone plugged in and open hardware manager. Then delete your phone. When it asked choose to delete the driver with it.
Then try it again.
Sent from my páhhōniē
Thanks. That didn't work, but I figured it out!
For anyone who has a similar problem with installing a driver, open up setupapi.dev.log in notepad which is located in c:\windows\inf -- it's kind of a labyrinth to navigate, but I found that I was missing a file which it was looking for. I then found that file on another computer, put it into c:\windows\inf and it worked. There were two missing files actually, usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys. Took me all day but finally got USB tethering working.
Unfortunately wifi tethering doesn't work (no internet connection) -- anyone get that?
Nice work.
Never had issues with wifi tethering. Have you made any changes to your phone? Root, rom, ect?
Sent from my páhhōniē
I'm on stock ROM but I did root it to delete the tetheringmanager apk
When I was on stock I did that too with no issues. Try downloading a tethering app from the market like barnacle and see if that makes a difference.

i would like to be able to do it on my main computer but its not working if someone could help that would be great
also please dont hate on me for having windows 8 jk i dont care :good:
I'd have to say that your drivers are all scrambled. Look up "android SDK" here on xda and install that for a bigger variety of drivers. Or just download Google's USB driver and manually install it through device manager which always works for me. Windows 8 is new and very complicated.

Android SDK is installed in the main drive right? local disk c?
You have to click the folder (usb_driver) and then click update.
In the android sdk folder there should be and exe file called SDK manager. There you will be able to download all the drivers for your current android version also the latest Google drivers and SDK tools etc.
I was stuck on this process for a long time because it allways works different for everybody. Just keep me posted on what you do I'm more than glad to help.

So what exactly happens when you click update? What does it say?
Is your PC up to date? (update wise)
Do you have the the drivers for the phone itself like samsung drivers?
And did you try rebooting your PC after installing your drivers? <-- that is important. You should always reboot after install or uninstalling drivers otherwise you'll end up scrambling them.
From the pictures it shows you have the drivers but I'd also try going deeper than usb_driver, try clicking on i386 or amd64.

OK make sure there are no HTC drivers on your PC. When you hook up your phone does USB storage work or anything like that?
Check those out and then I want you to go to Google, download pdanet latest version via pc (dont install yet) and go to the play store and install on your phone turn on USB debugging and the install non market apps and hook your phone up to the computer. Then install pdanet via PC and see if that works. HTC drivers get in the way of Samsung's BTW.

I want you to uninstall all your Samsung drivers(not android SDK) under control panel/uninstall programs. If you see something like Samsung kies definitely uninstall it. Reboot your computer and follow this guide for windows 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
After this if it doesn't work I'd recommend pulling out your old computer for android modding lol. I'll still look up some threads for your problem. Let me know what's going on after that. Make sure when you follow that guide your phone can not be plugged in the computer. And when you plug your phone into the computer after everything is done and after you reboot your computer for the second time, USB debugging has to be off and when phone is done unplug and turn back on USB debugging and plug back in and wait for that. Adb should work.
[Edit] you can also try running your drivers in windows 7 compatibility. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I think I know what the problem is. Make sure you uninstall all the previous drivers, then have the correct drivers ready.
What you have to do is to disable driver signature enforcement.
Step 1. Go to the right bottom corner of the desktop and wait for the side menu to appear. When it's there click on the gear icon with the title "Settings".
Step 2. Now click on the entry "More PC Settings", then click on the entry "General".
Step 3"Restart now" (under "Advanced start up ") and click it.
Step 4. Now click "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options" and after that click "Windows Start up Settings".
Step 5. Click on "Restart" and wait, then on the next screen press F7.
You will now reboot, and try now to install the drivers (by manually selecting the folder in device manager).
I'm not sure what is the correct drivers for you.
But try this. It's still worth a shot.
