MICROMAX A87 [DRIVER NEW SOLUTION/ DEVICE NOT DETECTED AND RECOGNIZED SOLVED]

HI axai here...

i bought this fone ninja 4.0 that came with a ULTRA VIBRANT 4 inch

WVGA 480x800 display that is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the display of optimus black which claims to

"outshine the sun" :P

many people are facing the problem of "device not found" or "Device not recognized" while tring use their a87 with pc using techniques of sdk given on the web...

But this solution is a bit different and SURELY 100% working on windows 7

Be patient and follow... you will get it working..

many dont know but yeah...A87 has its driver "INSIDE THE PHONE" no need to install or download any crap A87.zip files!!!

steps are just a bit similar but not totally same.... so please follow carefully

steps are as follows:

[do not download any A87.zip]

1. Download jdk 32bit , Android sdk , Unlock root , adb_usb.ini ......(google it ul fine or just see old posts of rooting for links)

To create adb_usb.ini:

open notepad

paste the following lines-

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.

# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

0x1c9e

and save it as type "all files" and file name "adb_usb.ini"

2. Install jdk

3. install Android sdk, after installing open sdk manager form star and select "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" unselect the rest, click install packages. After installing put the adb_usb.ini file in "C:\Users\(your PC name)\.android"

4.now uninstall the sdk only!! from add or remove programs.

5. go to "C:\Users\(your PC name)\.android" and delete all files EXCEPT 2 flders AVD and cache and the file adb_usb.ini and restart your computer.[NOTE :if you dont do this next steps wont work]

5.REMEMBER!! Switch off your internet first!!..and Now choose a rear usb port of your cpu.. for laptop any port will do. and connect the phone. you should see " installing drivers" as shown in "image1" in attachments below.

6. when youclick on the installing drivers message in task bar you can see this box pops up...if successful...the final results of the dialog will look as in the "image2" in attachments below.

7. Now in your fone u should be able to see a USB icon in status ..when you expand the status bar you will see onli "usb mass storage" option and NO debugging option.

go to ur phone settings-> applications->development and enable debugging.

8. on your computer screen you will get a dialog box saying "Common_Handset_USB_Driver" and itl look as shown in "image3" in attachments below.

9. Install that and when it says finish..see your fone screen you will get the debugging option..

CONGRATS ..this is a 101% working solution and works on XP too but windows 7 is recommended..

REMEMBER U WILL NEED TO USE THE SAME PORT EVERYTIME...if u change the poert you will have to repeat above process UNFORTUNATELY yeah.... but hey its working too.

Then proceed to root ..

you can follow this post too... to turn your a87 to a HD gaming device...
