Trying to attempt to root my phone. my linux machine is toast so I'm working with a roomates win7 laptop. ADB is running and we were able to root his RAZR without issue. Right now though it seems like I'm stuck on my phone because we can't seem to get the drivers to install properly. Tried using the download from Firebalas post to no avail. It looks like the driver labeled Android Phone fails to install. I feel like I'm missing something super simple. If anyone has an idea or an updated install package it would be much appreciated.

your 4.0 driver did the trick. ADB is working!

Hello,
Been trying to get droid explorer and adb to reconize my tilt2. Here is run down of what i have done.
on an up to date windows xp box
installed latest pdanet for android
installed latest droid explorer
connected my tilt2, it installed the adb driver but wont install the 2 cdc asm drivers
run droid explorer and it doesn't reconize the phone. i have the phone in debug mode and notification does come up.
on the android side i am running
frx 5
wistilt2 test kernel
highlandsun ril driver
btw, tried to run the busybox installer and it says it cant gain root access.. i thought all these builds have it by default or am i missing a step or two. I have superuser installed.
portreeve
All you need is the XDA device to install. The other two, CDC etc are not needed.
Is the adb service running? See if adb.exe is in task manager. You only need pda.net for the drivers, the software will mess with adb itself. So make sure their software is not running.
What do you mean busybox installer? For Titanium Backup or...?
You don't need SuperUser, that is an app that is more for security - if something asks for SU, it'll let you allow it thru the app. Yes, all our HaRET builds are rooted.

I didn't have a problem, My drivers installed automatically for me, but I'm using Win7.
You don't have to have pdanet or superuser for DroidExplorer to work.
Goto your device manager and see what device is listed under ADB interface. My Rhod300 shows up as a HTC DREAM.

Did you try mine? Remove pda.net, once you have the drivers no software is required from them.
Plus, you might also try the good ole reboot, and ensure that adb.exe is running in the task list.
All things I suggested previously...
yes, i've done the suggestion. It shows its connected. Under device manager there is an android phone, under that there is android adb interface but nothing under that. I don't know what else to do. Is there something i am missing on the android side?
and adb is running in taskmanager.

and you've rebooted?
I'm out of ideas, I've installed adb on tons of computers, win7 xp etc and all work flawlessly. It is a pretty advanced debugging tool, it's not very easy to install or use...
yes and i have rebooted twice now. still the same thing.
Boot android on phone.
Plug phone in.
Run Windows update.
Check device manager to make sure everything has drivers installed.
Run DroidExplorer
phone will show up as 00000000 in DroidExplorer
Reinstall DroidExplorer if problem persists.
Oh and there should be a device or driver in device manager called XDA, if memory serves me correctly.
Had the same problem about a month ago... downloaded PdaNet from the Marketplace here and it established the connection so I could use the USB to my phone. I didn't have to run it or buy it though .. just install it.
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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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.

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?

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.
downloaded all the stuff from the thread. everything went smoothly. i watched the video step by step. after uploading the usbdrivers to my NT it said
"Android ADB interface" instead of "android composite ADB interface"
it shows up in my device manager as a nook tablet still.
i derped. so i thought it would be ok anyways and then tried to zerg rush the baster-ahem NT only to see that the Zerg didn't even find my device.
i promptly decided to just wipe everything from my nook and start fresh but also every single thing i tried has failed to get rid of that blasted "android ADB device" from the one click unroot thing to doing a 8 step reset thingy and just plainly reset and wipe data from the stock settings, and now many hours later i have had enough and decided to swallow my pride and flaunt the noob card. i need help. i must find a way to wipe everything or maybe i can take a step from here. i dunno. derpy derp.

hm... well not sure if this is hidden anywhere in your description but did you try reinstalling the nook tablet drivers? since you have android adb device right now, uninstall that and if windows prompts you to restart you should do that. When you uninstall the adb drivers if there is a checkbox saying delete driver software for this device make sure to check that as well. basically what i am trying to say is you want to start fresh as in there should not be any reference to android or nook on your windows pc
another program that may be helpful is using usbdreview which is a program that monitors all devices with usb drivers. this may help is attempting to delete any reference to android and nook on your windows pc. hope this helps!
EDIT: just to add this tidbit in, if your having troubles with ADB, chances are it has nothing to do with your NT but rather with the drivers that Windows has installed already. There's a guide to installing ADB correctly, here's a link:

hm.. well if it keeps on auto installing generic drivers you will need to disable auto installation of drivers by windows. try looking through each of these links and see if it solves your problem. fyi you should uninstall all drivers relating to android and nook before proceeding

Hi all,
I have an Aria running CM 7.2
I have a PC with Win XP SP3 where I am not able to connect my Aria because of lack of drivers.
I don't want to download and install HTC sync (pay-per-use plan).
Is there a standalone driver pack for Aria which I can use for:
ADB: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_01
Android Phone: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
Also there are other hardware IDs which I don't have right now, like fastboot etc.
I searched the internet and could not find any helpful drivers.
Can anyone help regarding this?
You can get the drivers here:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
File size: 13.1 MB
Thanks for the above. I installed it.
But I still get error messages saying hardware not recognized.
The (new!) hardware IDs are:
Without ADB
Android Phone : VID_0BB4&PID_0FF9
With ADB
Mass Storage : VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
and still cannot connect the phone.
I tried specifying the path to the actual drivers in the HTC program folder, but no help.
Any solutions?

I tested my Aria with an old PC and it worked. Try installing the latest version of HTC Sync: http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe.
Can you explain how you are attempting to connect the phone? Are you just trying to use the RUU? Are you trying to use adb?
The drivers I linked to should allow you to do both.
Here's what I did.
I tried to connect the phone (normal working condition running CM7) without any drivers installed.
The missing hardware IDs were the ones in the first post.
Then I tried to install the drivers from the link.
The installer did not work, some trouble with the MSI Package.
I went to temp folder and ran the MSI package by itself. This time it ran.
Then when I tried to connect the phone (running, with ADB on), it detected drivers like Android Phone, USB Composite Device, ADB.
But got stuck when Mass Storage was to be installed. Threw a 'new hardware found' window at me.
I disconnected and connected without ADB this time.
This time it got stuck on Android Phone.
Can you verify the file's MD5 sum? It should be:
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
f60771a86c4ad69c8c9c1d158e60e850
I'm not sure what else could be the issue unless some old drivers are interfering or something.

Well the MD5 is all good. Probably the machine is messed up.
Other USB devices do work though, without a problem.
Anyway, this is only a spare machine. Just was wondering why it would not work here. I might try installing HTC Sync later, but I highly doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot for the help.
