Lost my ADB!! Please help

Hi everyone

I have searched and searched and can not find a solution for my problem. I lost ability to use my ADB a few days ago and am having the hardest time getting it back.

I have attached the message of what is says when I ask for devices. Basically Every time I disconnect a device, ADB still says that it is connected, just offline. Then when ever I try to issue other commands it says more than one devices connected. Even if I try to push the command to a specific Serial number i get the same error.

This started happening after I rooted and loaded a CM rom on a few friends phones, I did not even notice it until after I rooted them.

The only temporary solution I have been able to accomplish is to uninstall all drivers, boot my phone to recovery then go to the console, then reinstall the drivers and for that one session I will have ADB working, but as soon as I disconnect or close the window it will say I have the same device connected twice.

Is there any solution for this?

QUestion,

I did search I just couldn't find a definitive answer. If i want to pull a file, in this case, the flip clock and replace it with another. What commands would I used to pull in ADB?

Man do one thing, change the folder name to simple sdk, so now you have to type C:/sdk adb shell

This will be more simple than typing and missing some character...

64bit?

has anyone found a easier 64bit solution to vista? I have researched and researched but have found nothing.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
i don't know if this is a bumped question, but i can help you out if you're more specific as to what you're asking :). are you asking about driver installation or where to place the three files, adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, and fastboot.exe?

anyone having issues with installing the drivers on vista because of the system being already up to date and unable to get permission to remove that driver, just install PDANET- it will automatically install the necessary driver needed for ADB.

Driver Fix

Hay everyone, after a fair bit of reading other peoples fixes that didnt work for me, i ended up getting it done myself.

This is for those like myself who had plugged there phone into vista and gotten stuck with the wrong drivers. There shouldnt be any problems with this but be aware that i take no responsibility for YOUR choices.

My system is 32bit Vista, and this is how i ended up getting the drivers installed.

1. Make sure you are in USB debugging mode on your phone (settings>Application settings>Development>Usb debugging)

2.Connect to computer via usb.

3.Do NOT mount your usb connection (ie:after you connect to the computer in your phones notifications normally u can click on 'usb connected' and mount it to view your files, DONT)

4.Ok so the wrong drivers will have been installed or are already installed, so we get rid of them. Right click on 'computer' or 'my computer' and select manage.

5.Ok, now on the left window select Device Manager, for myself my phone was being detected and placed under 'Disk Drives'.

6.Expand Disk Drives, one of the devices will hopefully be your phone (i cant remember exactly what its called but it was something obvious). Right click on it and select Uninstall. Then it will disappear.

7.DO NOT UNPUG YOUR PHONE, DO NOT RESTART (even tho after driver operations you often do, dont, please)

8.Right click on the very topmost think in the list (probably your logon name), and select 'Add legacy Hardware'

9.Click NEXT, and then click 'install the hardware that i manually select from a list'. Then click Next again.

10.Select 'Portable Devices' From the list and select NEXT. Keep the window open.

11.Go onto google or somewhere and find the drivers needed for the phone, they are also in this thread somewhere, the ones at the start of the thread are for Anvroid V1.1 if you are reading this currently you prob have 1.5 and will need the 1.5 drivers. Make sure to extract the zip.

12.Following step 10, select 'have disk', and browse to the folder containing the drivers you just downloaded, select the .inf file that is in there.

13.Click OK, Then Next, the Next again.

There done. now you should have the right drivers in the right place, and they will be updateable <<dont think thats a word.

XD hopw i helped

device not found

so i did all the steps correctly and have run adb before with no problems but today i tried running adb and after i typed adb remount it said "error: device not found" although my phone is plugged in. could it be because i have a hero rom installed and the phone is now considered a Hero instead of a G1? when i do go to about phone it does state HTC hero istead of G1 or Dream. thanks in advance

Driver Issues

For those of you still having issues with the driver installing itself here is a method you can use that does not require registry edits or additional programs.

In VISTA hit WindowKey + Pause\Break to bring up the system properties

Click Advanced System Settings

Under The Advanced Tab click Environment Variables

Click the New button below the System Variables panel.

In the New System Variable dialog box, type devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the Variable Name text box and 1 in the Variable Value box.

Click OK, then OK again to close that Window

Now go to the device manager and go to View > Show Hidden Devices

Make sure your phone is unplugged!

Look under Hard Drives and delete the HTC Android Phone USB Device

** This may show up as Generic Mass Storage **

Look Under Portable Devices and delete the Android Phone

Look Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and Delete ANY USB Mass Storage Devices with a greyed out icon ... one if these is for your phone....

Now with the device manager still open ... plug your phone in. When the window pops up asking what to do hit cancel.

In your device manager you will see what you deleted is back, but there is a new entry in other devices > Android Phone with a yellow ! right click that one and choose update driver. Browse to your adb driver at you should be good!

the adb usb drivers download is corrupt. I can not extract any files from the archive. Can anyone reupload those drivers?

fixed: used 7-zip instead of winrar
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:
Good post. I have one suggestion to add. When trying to delete the USB controller for the phone, have the phone plugged in first and see how many usb devices are actually conected. Once you disconnect the phone, you will obviously have 1 less connected device. Plug the phone in 1 more time and see which one is now connected and delete just that one. This will help avoid having to reinstall a bunch of usb devices.
[G1 Android Development] dcorrea:

Sorry, you're right... I'm updating the tutorial now... should be <pathtosdk>/tools

Done... Updated it... you must use: export PATH=${PATH}:<sdkfolder>/tools

I'm having all sorts of trouble installing the driver. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and it keeps saying "Windows could not find driver software for your device." I tried going through the steps of removing any USB mass storage devices from device manager, but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
Well the first problem is you're using windows vista/7 lol...

PDANet uses ADB to provide tethering. Installing PDANet will also

correctly install the ADB drivers, even on Windows7.

Download PDANet from http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php

You can uninstall PDANet if you want afterwards, the drivers will

remain.

[Guide] ADB + Windows 7 64

Ok after much searching it seems there is no good information to get ADB to work in Windows 7 64. This is because of device stage and the USB driver installation method.

Device Stage seems to block the computer from even looking for the driver even though it is installed... so follow me down the rabbit hole.

1) Do not have any ADB drivers installed

2) Your phone when plugged will show under "Devices" as Android. Right click properties you will only see the Mass Storage listed 3 times, later it will have a 4th entry called My HTC

3) Make this DIR path manually BEFORE installing HTC Sync or you will get an error while installing

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64

4) Install the HTC Hero Sync first.

http://www.htc.com/hero/m/files/downloads/HTCsync.zip

5) After installation you will NOW see the Android in you device manager FINALLY!

6) After you want to unpack the included HTC_Driver_64.zip in this thread to:

* This may not have to be this path but the installer needs this folder structure or it will crash during install

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64

7) Device Manager - Right click your newly listed Android and then click "Update Driver" then point it to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64

8) Your G1 will now list as :

Device Manager > Android USB Devices > My HTC

9) Remove HTC Sync

10) Enjoy ABD from Windows 7 64

Just recently upgraded from 1.5r3 to 1.6r1 now I had followed all instructions on this thread starting when I first had 1.1r1.

Everything has worked absolutely fine up until now. Since I installed 1.6r1 I have no adb in command prompt it either says adb not recognized or adb device not conncted or no device found.

I installed the usb driver from the tools directory. When I used Droid Explorer it works and it sees adb and the phone just fine but when I reboot into recovery I lose adb. I have the adb files adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll in Windows/System32/ and it used to work now it doesn't how can I fix this?

ok I seem to have fixed it I forgot to setup the path as C:\androidsdk16r1/tools before I just had C:\androidsdk16r1\

[G1 Android Development] iPhone iWing:
yes and funny enough i have got both 1.5 and 1.6 working with cy rom's. all the way from 4.1.11 to 4.2.3.1. make sure your drives are working. thats what usually makes the prompt of devices not found. soooo lets do this, download this >>>> http://www.snapfiles.com/get/usbdeview.html

now run it with your phone plugged in. look for any drivers saying android next to it. uninstall all of them. once thats done go to start, then find computer and right click it. now go to properties. once there look for a tab that says hardware. now go to device installation. look choose the one that says let me choose what drivers or whatever. i dont use xp that much any more but i remember some and i have good screenys for peeps on xp. once thats done thou, we now unplug the phone and replug it in once the phone is done checking the sdcard. on your bottom task bar in windows it will say installing device or whatever. click it and it should allow a setup of your choose so you can choose your own driver. you have a 64 so choose the 64 not the x86. then let it install. see if that works. if not let me know and i will talk you thru from the beginning of install.

EDIT: Ok i just read back post. I am running 4 dif os's. 3 of them are good on adb. Linux is my pride but i can not get it to work there. But if anyone needs help on any windows plat(win7, vista and xp) including 64 and 32, i can make some screenys to help the best i can. i can almost promise you thou as long as you fallow my directions i can get you up and running. If anyone needs help just let me know. i have made so many guides for this its crazy. Please forgive me if i do not respond right away. My gf is due right now and the baby doesnt seem to want to come out lol!! Im here thou. Noob ?'s are more then welcome.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to use ADB on Windows XP 64-bit.

I've tried and tried and tried, uninstalling, reinstalling, using usbdeview etc for hours on end. Nothing.

I tried the exact same procedure (with same phone and rom of course) on my work computer (Win XP 32) and it worked within 45 seconds.

Unless someone else out there has actually gotten it to work in Win XP 64 bit, I'm betting it's just impossible.
[G1 Android Development] freyder:

better way to add to path for linux, mac os 10 etc.

Sorry if this has been mentioned. Search for me on this board fails :mad:. I don't like the idea adding stuff to usr/bin because then you have to remember to remove it later.

If you only need to add for the current user, I think it is much better to use/create a .bash_profile file. This way, all your added paths are in the same place and can be easily removed later.

I don't have a linux install in front of me to try this on, but I can confirm this works with mac os 10.6. Also, this is assuming you are using the bash shell, which I think most are.

on mac os 10, open terminal (Applications/Terminal) and, if you are not already in your home directory, switch to it

cd ~

next type

ls -a

If you see a .bash_profile file, you can simply add the line. Be sure to add the proper path to your directory, assuming not everyone's user name is softbanksucks.:cool:

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/softbanksucks/Documents/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.6_r1/tools

If you don't see this file, you can use a text editor to create it and save it as .bash_profile

Once you've done this, simple type into any terminal window

adb shell

to get an interactive shell. type exit to, um... well, exit.

Hmmm... dunno. Does it give the same output if you disconnect the phone or does it give you no output at all? Can you get a shell with "adb shell"?

[G1 Android Development] SBS:
Since you posted this 6 months ago, I doubt you still need an answer, but don't type ./ since this means current directory.:)
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Can you put adding the location of the SDK to PATH in the first post?

If your SDK is in C:\AndroidSDK...

*Right click my computer, click on Properties
*In properties, click on Advanced System Settings
*In Advanced Settings, click on Enviromental Variables
*In Envromental Variables, in System Variables, scroll down to Path
*Double click on Path, [B]DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING[/B] just add to the end:

[B];C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools/ [/B]

*click ok
*click ok again (or) apply

This worked better for me than making a new variable. And it's alot less typing than cd C:\AndroidSDK... cd \Tools... adb

How to adb working on Windows 7

In order to get my adb working on Windows 7 I had to install a driver for the Hero. Mind you this is after having a working adb since day 1 on XP, and Vista. When I got Windows 7 I could not get it working no matter what I tried and believe me I tried every driver and every idea. I finally got it to work when I ran across this article http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/.

Trust me it works. You can also go to HTC to download the driver if you want. Hope this helps anyone else who has had this problem.
