Windows 8 CP + ADB? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I installed windows 8 customer preview the other day and I'm trying to figure out how to get adb to work on it. I'm still trying different methods but if anyone else has gotten it working, please let new know. Thanks!
EDIT: Let me just say I finally got it fixed up! Since I had installed Windows 8 CP x64, I had to google for the HTC drivers in 64 bit. Eventually I had to update the device driver in "Device Manager" on my PC and locate the drivers on my hard drive for the 64 bit, that finally got it set up, and now I can flash as I did before on Win7
If anyone else has any issues, I'll be sure to type out a better guide to help!

Hi, I am struggling getting this set up, I am not a noob, but just cant get this going. Is there any way you could post a new topic with step by step directions and link? I think as time goes on, more and more people will need this guide. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone managed to get fastboot working in Windows 8?
It does nothing when run on my 64bit install of the CTP

Thanks for the tip - got fastboot working on Windows 8 64 bit by disabling the 'Driver Signature Enforcement' at bootup, then force-installing the Samsung ADB driver with my phone connected and in fastboot mode.
Even though my phone is a Sony Arc, the Samsung ADB driver still works, and I've just used fastboot to flash my phone from Windows 8

[Q] Windows 7 Drivers Needed

I have been trying to find Windows 7 drivers for my Streak and have had zero luck getting anything to work. I am trying to root my device but without getting the drivers to work I think I am stuck. I have searched this forum and others but have had no luck.
Any help please? Thank you.
i just finished putting djsteves 1.9 on and i was like you. i was lost with all of the write ups and what not. here is what i did to figure it all out.
dl all files and then run the tutorial. i know there is extra stuff that is not needed but i got mine done and it wasnt too hard,
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
start there and then just follow skip the first part about how to install rom. that is last.
The drivers are actually on the MicroSD card that came with your Streak. Look for Dell_PC_Suite.
That installs the ADB drivers as well as the PC Suite (that I just ignored from that point onwards)
That's how I got the drivers to work for Rooting my Streak on Windows 7 x64

[Q] LG P500 Drivers

Sorry for asking this stoopid,noob question,but I never used PC Suite.
So,I just re-installed Windows XP and all is quite smooth. So,since I have a stable Windows OS now,I'm willing to flash the new baseband (finally,huh? ).
Do I only need to install LG PC Suite and all drivers will be installed(For using KDZ/LGMDP),or I need external tools/downloads/etc.? If so anyone kindly post a link here.
Only the drivers should be adequate.
But sorry I forgot the url where I got them.
I didnt use LG PC Suite, coz then I dont need it
PS. I admire your great work Ciaox

Make sure you disable LGE Modem on windows Device Manager, right click on it should do the work.
Don't know about that but seems being plugged in while the LGE Modem is still active could interrupt the debugging process.

Try my link, they are easily listed.
Phone is recognize from LGMobile update tool. Had some (resolved) issues with drivers,but now that tool recognizes the phone,so it's all ok? i wanna be sure

Driver Issues
I am having trouble installing drivers for my P500 on Windows XP using the B2CApp.
It installs 3 of them:
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1.exe
LGSmartPhone_ModemlinkDUNDrive_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe
LGWindowsMobile_USBDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe
But even then, my phones not detected on the PC.
Btw, I must mention that I am stuck on the fastboot screen, while trying to do a NANDroid backup, after ROM Manager screwed up with my Custom Recovery installation.
Any idea if the above 3 are enough for me to proceed with the below link, or is there another LG fastboot driver that I might be missing? :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
When I connect my phone and hit the first command on cmd prompt:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
I get the following:
Code:
< waiting for device >
UPDATE:
I have fixed the issue. Got the drivers mentioned in this thread:
Anyone else stuck with Windows XP not recognizing the device even after the B2CApp installation, try these drivers:

I have tried everything to get these drivers to work, tried installing them on windows vista, windows 7, using compatibility mode, using a virtual machine to install it on windows xp, downloaded three different types of versions of windows xp and I still can not get these drivers to install on anything.
I've searched the forums; I've lurked all throughout google and youtube. I can not find the solution. Will somebody out there please for the love of god help me. This is the 4th day I've tried to continue the process of flashing my phone to boost and I haven't even gotten past this very first step.
did you manually go through device manager and try to update the drivers?

How would that even work out ? The phone won't even register on the device manager without the drivers or having a microsd card which is just for accessing my micro sd data.

Try another download of the driver....It will ONLY work with Windows XP, I ran virtual pc on my Win 7 computer, load driver in virtual pc session and be sure you can access your usb port in virtual Pc. When I get home, If you need it I'll upload the driver I used.

Can't find correct Windows 8 64-bit drivers.

Specs: Windows 8 64-bit. Clean and restored HTC EVO 3D. HBOOT 1.58.0000.
I have tried almost everything, but I can't get my phone recognized in fastboot mode.
I tried what was listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39218156#post39218156

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.

And the phone is recognized fine when in regular mode. Though, whenever I reboot the phone into the Bootloader using adb, it restarts into the fastboot, but it doesn't change to "Fastboot USB" and shortly after I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" on my PC and it saying something about it malfunctioning. So I get stuck on "Waiting for device" when trying out this command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
Any ideas? I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and root so that I can install custom ROMs and kernels.
Hey there! Sorry my fix didn't work for you.
My question is, are you running windows 8 or 8.1? The reason I ask is because the 8.1 update has broken fastboot apparently. I don't remember the last time I tried on my computer to see if fastboot still works or not since I updated to 8.1.
If you are running 8.1 windows then the guide at droid-now.com seems to have worked for many people. Go to that site and search fastboot fix windows 8.1 or you could just Google that too I guess. I would paste the link right now but my phone is being stupid and not letting me paste it ATM. :-|
If that doesn't work then you may be able get what you need done by dual booting into Ubuntu if you feel comfortable doing so. You could easily make a bootable flash drive that you could boot into just for an emergency. I just used one for about 4 days while fixing my computer after I accidentally erased the partition tables of my hard drive, trying to make a permanent installation of Ubuntu. Got it fixed BTW! ats self on back:
Keep us posted if you get it fixed or have any more questions! I hope I've been at least a little helpful. I'll try to help any more I can if possible!
Good luck!

I am running Windows 8.1, however it looks like the fix only applies to Intel motherboards connecting through USB 3.0 ports. I do have USB 3.0 ports, but my motherboard is AMD and my USB3 controller reads "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)." I'm not sure that the fix applies to me, unfortunately. Also, I am not connecting my phone to my PC using the USB3.0 ports.
I tried downloading the USB 3.0 Drivers for Windows 8 64-bit on the manufacturer's website for my motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305), but when I try to update my drivers to the ones I got from the website it says that the Microsoft provided ones are the most recent/ up to date drivers.

Be Advised, there is perhaps a way , you wil find in the link below, but be sure to use the right intel driver And only if you hae an intel chipset for usb3 , please read the comments and my bad experience :
Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the
"intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windo...#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now
Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
A later post I made (I havent updated the OP, shame on me...) is a link to some universal drivers from CWM that works fantastic! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40108463#post40108463
Before trying this I would goto your device manager and right click on the currently installed drivers and uninstall them before installing the drivers again.
Hope that helps. I am using the link found in that second link and fastboot and adb works perfect. Also, while you can boot into fastboot, stock 1.58 will not let you run a lot of fastboot commands and will need to flash a different hboot.

I'm sorry for my short, but honest, comment.
But Windows is notorious for its quirks of allegedly mismatched drivers.
This rarely happens with Linux.

My SXZ5C (and SXZ1C) were not listed with 'fastboot devices'. So I installed this https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ and then (more or less) followed a guide :
1) Device manager
2) Right click on device (the android device with the yellow warning signal).
3) 'Update driver'
4) 'Browse my computer for drivers'
5) 'Let me pick from a list [...]'
6) Clicked the only one that appeared (don't remember it's name, because now my SXZ5C is installed as 'Android Composite ADB Interface' and not as whatever it was before I succeeded). Also possible it has nothing to do with the Universal ADB Drivers linked at the beginning, because I already installed a bunch of different stuff I don't remember.)
7) Then I could proceed as planed as my devices were now listed.
That is the guide I used : https://stackoverflow.com/a/35076765

since i usually use windows 10 for pretty much everything, i do need a sorta walkthrough on how to install the drivers on ubuntu, cause im not really up to date with this terminal stuff
Code:
sudo apt-get install adb fastboot
The package that comes with Ubuntu Mate is broken, adb-pair does not work, how you will get on I don't know, it may be better to use the official adb.
There are instructions for installing adb on Linux here
Using ADB and fastboot | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
Just extract adb somewhere and add it to your $path
I'm using the adb version that came with Xubuntu since many years now without any problems.
Is this problem solved? A feedback would be nice...
