"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"

Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.

Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.

First download USBDeview - Here

Unzip it

Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator

You will see all drivers being used on your computer

Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)

Right Click on the driver and press uninstall

Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in

You should now get the notification of the ADB device

Follow the steps above to install the drivers

Check if your phone is detected by ADB

Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)

Type in

Code:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter

adb devices === You should see your device listed

adb shell === you should see # in the next line

If you cant get the setup to work, Download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)

Everything in BOLDprint it what Im having an issue with. First off, I have a rooted G1 running Cyanogen 5.0.8, latest radio, and SPL. Right now all my phone can do is go into fastboot screen. I need to flash a recovery. I have downloaded everything you told me to. In SDK i updated everything. I "think" I installed the USB drivers. My computer makes a noise when I plug my phone in, but thats it. My computer is running XP. I don't think it recognizes it. So I need help to get ADB to work with my phone, how to install "usb_driver.rar". I also done this "First download USBDeview - Here

Unzip it

Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator

You will see all drivers being used on your computer

Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)

Right Click on the driver and press uninstall

Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in

You should now get the notification of the ADB device

Follow the steps above to install the drivers" But after doing that nothing happens. When I enter a command to see if my phone works with my computer, it just doesn't recognize it.

I have read many forums and it seems to be that I am getting nowhere fast.

Can you please help.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turague:
Hey guys, Im new to ADB. So I've installed the android 1.0 driver successfully, while i boot in android system recovery i can type in

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter

adb devices === You should see your device listed

adb shell === you should see # in the next line

and the device shows up.

1)My problems, the AVD manager does not recognize my phone regardless of if im in system recovery or in fastboot

2)When i reboot my cell phone into fastboot and try the below

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter

adb devices === You should see your device listed

adb shell === you should see # in the next line

my device is not recognized.

The reasoning for me to use ADB is to eraseboot and do a clean reinstall of everything.

Advice will be greatly apperciated

Hi There,

Thanx for the reply.

But my phone is rooted and i have the SUperuser app too. And also the busybox is installed.

What could be the problem

Just another question.

1) Is there a method to find out and confirm that the phone is rooted correctly ?

2) Do we need to turn on the superuser app before using the cmd to transfer files to the system directory.

3) Is there any other way to transfer files to the system/bin

Your answer would be highly appreciated.

new user

So i just got my adb installed, and i'm getting the same problems as srk674 where when i type in shell i get a $, but i know my phone is rooted because i have superuser app and i've used apps that needed root access

plus, when i try to push a file using adb it says system cannot find the file specified ( the syntax i am using is " adb push xxx.xxx xxx/xxx " exactly without the quotes"), and i know i have the file and i know i spelled it right. Is there anything i need to do to my phone before i can push files via adb? All i've been doing is plugging my phone in with usb debugging on. Or is the problem that i'm not using correct syntax? Or is there a specific place i need to save the files? or if i'm not using correct syntax can anyone correct me ?

please help!

EDIT: as the title says i'm a new user, and i literally just installed adb (atleast i think i did, might have messed it up some how) and so any other tips could be useful!.

what should i do? any advice? i imagine i need to get rid of the emulator, but i dont know how.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
I guess you have an emulator running. If multiple emulator/device instances are running, you need to specify a target instance when issuing adb commands. To so so, use the -s option in the commands. The usage for the -s option is:

adb -s <serialNumber> <command>

As shown, you specify the target instance for a command using its adb-assigned serial number.

Here is an example:

adb -s emulator-5556 install helloWorld.apk

I guess this will take care of your issue....

Hello Fellow Androids!

If this is off topic, please accept my apologies. I am searching through all of XDA for a simple solution to adding apk. Now before you start bashing, please keep in mind that I am well aware of the "search" options + google + XDA etc.

Long story short, I have:

1) Rooted

2) Fashed many Roms (currently on Stock 2.1)

3) Lag Fixxed (see signature)

4) Removed Bloatware

5) I am familiar with ABD and commands

Problem:

All I'm trying to do is install certain "apk"s using ADB. I am well aware of the Program that installs/ pushes apps automatically that are found in G1 + Vibrant + HTC + Droid Forums without having to do any typin......BUT.....I would like to know my way around ABD <----Main reason why i dont want the easy way out.

I have tried methods found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517874

As well as:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

The problem I am having is:

Whether i navigate to my folder (desktop with all my apps) and use either

"adb push app /system/sd/app

adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private"

or simply

"adb install <path to file> - Example: adb install c:/apps/apps2sd.apk"

I always get the error: "cant find <whatever apk> to install"

No matter which directory i have it, i get that message.

Note:

1) I have debugging on

2) I mounted sd <----also tried Without mounting

3) I have used the same command when I removed bloatware but i understand Adding apks are slightly different.

4) I have all the drivers installed + Microsoft's .net framework + etc

What am i doing wrong?

It turns out there are certain apk files that can ONLY be installed with a file manager program if they were pulled from the source to begin with. With adb, the apks have to be in some different formatting. Who da thunk? Thanks for your response.

As this guide is for "noobs," I think I fully qualify to ask a question...

I followed the instructions in the OP and got the correct responses in ADB, but when I booted into fastboot and then plugged in to my Windows 7 computer, there was a little popup in the corner saying installing new device and it didn't ask for me to choose the location. When it finished it said something like "Device installed, HTC Bootloader." When I type "fastboot devices" it shows my G1 (currently running BiffMod 2.0.1 with Amon_Ra 1.7). When I type "fastboot shell" I get the huge list of commands as if I only typed "fastboot." What should I do to enable it correctly and get the #?

------

I looked around some more and got back into it. I still can't get the "#" to show up when typing "fastboot shell" but I tried "fastboot reboot" and that worked properly.

I was planning to do a full wipe as recommended on the install guide by Ohsaka on the Biffmod forum:

3 - Wipe system partition using one of these 4 methods:

*Volume down, home back and power for system wipe then use amon ra to wipe the rest

*fastboot erase system -w (Boot into Fastboot by holding back and power on at same time)

*adb shell mount -a; rm -rf /system/*; (ADB via recovery)

*Or using this flashable zip - Download Here Flash in Recovery reboot into recovery after flashed, Not the preferred method!!

I've done it once before using the first method, but I figured I should learn a little more about fastboot and adb for some other things I might want to try. That way I can wipe using the 2nd method (or 3rd I suppose).

Alright bro ill help u out here.

You have 2 options:

Pushing an apk files (usually to system folder) and installing an apk to the data folder.

Option 1:

lets say your file is placed in C:\systemapp.apk

adb remount
adb push C:\systemapp.apk /system/app/systemapp.apk

Option 2:

You want to install a game

lets say your file is placed in C:\game.apk

adb remount
adb install C:\game.apk

Now if you want to install multiple apps at once (batch install):

lets say you place a couple games in the folder C:\games\

adb remount

adb install C:\games\*

that should install all the games/apps in that folder

If that doesnt work, try this:

Hello!

First of all, there is no such command as 'fastboot shell' only 'adb shell'. Fastboot commands are used to flash images to certain paritions in the phone's memory.

if you want to flash a recovery image,

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thats what you would type in the cmd prompt. If you want to format data or cache, i would do it through amon_ra's custom recovery, that way you wont need to mess with fastboot as much. :D
