Hello everybody!
I have a problem related to connectivity between my desktop (Windows) and tablet (Android 4.1). I bought a new device (Colorovo City Tab Vision 7) and now I want to use it for testing of my applications, because emulation of android is very slow on my computer, although I forced it to create snapshot every run.
I have downloaded SDK with Google drivers and also some unofficial drivers I found on web. When I connect my device, it first appears 'Other device' (label is CTVision7) and it's marked as unknown. I tried to install drivers (Google) for it, but windows said that they aren't suitable for my device, as it's not able to find them in specified directory.
After these attempts I tried unofficial drivers. Their installation worked and now my device appears as Android phone, what seems to be good.
But when I run
Code:
adb devices
or launch application in eclipse, there's not avaible device.
I have turned USB debugging on, so it should work.
Am I missing some step to make my device avaible for debugging, or are my drivers wrong? Is there any way to get drivers which surely work?

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.
I have a Gtablet in which I was able to install and use NVFlash. I used the recommended driver for this process and it works perfectly. Now here is my new problem / challenge. I am trying to learn SDK ADB. As parts of the procedures, I have to install the Google USB driver to have the device recognized as an android device (Or something in that line as per the instructions). Here are the problems:
1.) My Gtab show on the device manager as a storage device and a portable device with the same drive letter as the storage device
2.) I'vr tried removing the NVflash USB driver, but it does not uninstall. Every time I re-connect the device it re-install the driver and goes back to problem 1.)
3.) I used (USBdeview) to try and remove the device and the driver from my win 7 x64 but it just don't uninstall or stop the decive or anything.
4.) I tried updating the driver of the gtab (As in problem 1.)) and it says that the current driver is the most appropriate for the device. And goes back to problem 1.)
In other words..... I am tied up with the NVFlash driver (Tegra I beleive, which is the one described on the NVFlash How to). I am trying to SDK ADB, but it will not allow me to connect cause the Gtab is not recognized as an Android device, but as a storage device or nvidia tegra when in APX mode (I beleive it called).
which step am I missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Please excuse my lack of technical lingo.....
Did you read the sticky message: adb for your gtab (windows) in the general section?
I had the same problem, except I'm using windows XP. The storage device is not the driver to uninstall. Device manager never showed me any other drivers relating to the gTab.
Using USBDeview I was able to see a different driver (can remember was it was called exactly), uninstalled then reinstalled using the usb driver I downloaded from google and everything was fine.
hello.
i have very problems to install usb drivers for my phone huawei U8650.
i try everything i find in internet to install but, every try, dont work.
when i connect my phote to my pc(windows 7 32bits), appear Unknown Device.
then i chose :update driver software,
then Browse my computer for driver software
then Let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer
then Open folder with drivers that i downloaded and Select file "android_usb.inf" and click "Open".
here appear one error: "the specified folder does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems.". all the drivers i try to install give me these error.
help me, i try another solutions but the pc give error: best driver already installed.
anyone.
ps i try in a pc with a windows xp, but the results are the same...
Hello,
Have you tried official ones from Huawei?
I can't post any link, so you google for "HUAWEI Android Phones USB Driver" and look for the huawei website (it was the 2nd google result for me), the properties are v1[1].0 | 2011-06-29 | 7.76MB
I have a U8860 and in windows 8 it worked very well. Connect your phone (maybe you need to enable the usb debugging mode on the developer settings of your phone) and just run the installation and execute the thing that will give you the option for drivers installation. There is no need to do any manual .inf selection to install.
Hope it helps
Thanks to try help.
i did what you said, first i unninstall the drivers, then i install drivers from huawei website. but still the same. When i connect the usb in computer, only starts charging the phone. nothing more happens.
So I ran into some issues with my HTC Evo 4G LTE when attempting to use it on my Windows 8 laptop that I wanted to post about in case others have the same issue. I did a number of Google searches and while I ran across a number of others who had this same issue, no one seemed to have the fix all in one place, so here's what I experienced and what I did.
First step in CM10.1 is to enable Developer Options. Go to System>About Phone and tap on the build number 6-7 times. I know this is well documented but like I said, I'm putting this all in one place for reference.
Initially when connecting my phone via USB to my Windows 8 machine it would immediately detect it as an external storage device (even when ADB root and Android debugging were enabled in the Developer Options)
The specific driver it kept loading was called Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device under Disk Drives
It would also load as an external drive letter under Portable Devices (in my case F:\)
Finally, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers it would load a USB Mass Storage driver and a USB Composite Device Driver
First, you'll need the Android SDK. This is important for two reasons: 1: The most up to date ADB as it is required in CM10.1 / Android 4.2.x because of the device fingerprinting that Android now does with ADB. Get rid of older versions or you'll end up with the device detected but offline. 2: You need the USB driver installed from the Android SDK.
I tried a number of suggested things to attempt to update the driver for my device with the Android USB driver, some people had suggested installing it over the USB driver, some over the Portable Device driver and some over the Linux File-CD Gadget driver. None of these worked, windows kept returning the following error:
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.
What I eventually found is this: After enabling Android Debugging and connecting your phone via USB, you need to go to the View menu in the Device Manager and select 'Show hidden devices'. At that time I was presented with a new section called Android USB Devices. I specifically recall in Windows 7 this was not a hidden area, however it is in Windows 8. Under this heading was a device labeled My HTC. I'm quite sure I never installed the HTC drivers for my phone in Windows 8 so this may be something that is shipped with the OS at this point... or if I did install them I dont recall doing it.
Either way, this is the driver you need to update. Simply right-click, update driver, and replace it with the driver stored in the Android SDK folder (AndroidSDK folder root\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\). This will load as a Samsung Android driver. Dont worry about it, it works fine.
Finally, as I mentioned before, if you run adb devices and all you see is your phone but it says "offline" and you're sure you have the newest ADB, check your phone screen, it will be asking you to confirm the fingerprint of your machine before it comes online and lets you issue commands.
I hope this helps other people, it was quite a hassle figuring this out, mostly because I didnt expect the driver to be hidden since it wasnt in Windows 7.
Hi Folks,
I've been trying to follow the tutorial "Guide/tutorial] Asus Transformer Prime/TF201 stock to Android 7.1 Nougat" which go well to the point I have to connect the tab In APX mode(step 4).
Installing the USB_APX driver from explorer( right mouse button & install) does not work, it gives an error me “The inf file you selected does not support this method of installation”.
Connecting the tab in APX mode (volume+&power) gives an unknown device in device manager. Updating the driver of this unknown device with android_apxusb.inf gives me an error: "the given folder does not contain a compatible driver for your device, check if the driver matches windows 32-bit computers etc. This with a windows 7-32bit pc, win10-64 gave similar results.
Should I manually update the driver to some other device found in the list of other drivers found on my pc? Sadly there is no asus or anything.
Thanks in advance
Got the thing going with downloading google android drivers
