problem with ADB and fastboot

im running cyan 4.01 btw, and i im using the latest radio and hardspl.

i followed the adb guide, and it was fine before until i try the "adb shell" command. when i typed in adb shell, i didnt get the #. it didnt do anything but bring me the next promp .

my problem with fastboot was that it wouldnt even show it as a fastboot device after i type in fastboot devices.

those WERE my problems, and NOW, i dont know why, but neither of them show it as a adb/fastboot device, and when i plug it into my pc in either bootloader or fastboot, my pc doesnt show it as connected. i can still mount/unmount fine when the phones full on, but my device manager doesnt show it plugged in. any idea how to fix this?

btw, i checked i do have NET framework 3.5

USB Driver

I recently switched back from Windows 7 (64) to XP (32)

ADB ran alright in 7 (except I couldnt get the simulator running) but now that Im in XP I get an error when trying to install the driver (Code 37)

Ive looked into the problem and nobody seems to have anything to say about it, so does anyone else know whats going on? should I bump up to XP 64-bit? (which I plan on doing anyway, once I get some new dvd-r's)

I hacked up my registry for a few minutes and it seems to work now :]

hey unk :D You look at this?

"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

Hey, before you reply, I have already installed and ran USBdeview as an admin, and uninstalled all htc devices. But my vista 32bit laptop STILL automatically installs drivers for my phone when i connect it.

I have the SDK and when i try to manually install drivers, it says they arent signed, and just gives me an error saying "A problem was encountered while installing drivers".. I am so frustrated. So ANY help would be greatly appreciated:)

Nandroid Restore

I created a nandroid backup using the utility from cyanogen's recovery image as mentioned in the instructions. I tried to install a new ROM and ran into some problems, so now I am trying to restore my backup from nandroid. I'm restoring from the recovery image, not from using a computer and ADB. The restore process said it is working, and there are the dots going across the screen which seems to indicate it's still going.

It's been restoring for about 15-20 minutes. How long does this normally take? The backup only took a minute or two, so I figured the restore would be pretty quick too.

Confused

Hello, I installed everything as instructed for Windows. My phone is recognized just fine using ADB File Explorer. Here is my question. I clicked on the first item listed on the right side of the screen "cache" and selected pull. It created 3 new folders with contents in the directory on my pc that I specified called 'sdcard', 'sys', and 'system' totaling about 1537 files at 560mb. Why didn't it just create a folder on my pc called 'cache' with its contents? Why these 3. Also, when I move on to the next item in the list 'data' and click pull, nothing happens. I tried with the remaining folders in the structure. I have looked high and low for a specific guide on using ADB File Explorer but was unsuccessful. Is there a simple way for me to back up the entire contents of my phone? Or, did it already do it when it created these 3 folders. I'm a little scared to try pushing a file from my pc to the phone until I have a better understanding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Unusal ADB connection problem: the one rooted G1 works - the other one doesn't

Hi

I have two (identical)(rooted) T-mobile (GER) G1s.

———————

Both:

Baseband 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

Kernel 2.6.29.6-cm4

Mod version CyanogenMod-4.0.4

Build CRC1

———————

First one rooted by Goldcard method – … – and finally migrated from JF1.5 to Cyanogen 4.0.4.

All functions and apps (> 220 !!) running superbe – no malfunction! Full rooted access filesystem by busybox etc. , ADB also working. Almquist shell works fine ....

Second device (later purchased) – yesterday rooted by the One Click Method directly to Cyanogen 4.0.4. I did the wipe inbetween. Root access available.

My questions for the SECOND device:

1. ADB does not work at all: “ADB devices” does show nothing – although G1 was opened in the settings for debugging. Why ? How to solve ? Which part of the ROM makes the ADB communication working on the G1 ??

2. Generally: When rooting / installing a ROM (one Click Rooting) - is it recommended to reflash the OTA anyway (which i didn't) - although the version hasn't changed ??? Is the ADB communication (link to the PC) managed in / influenced by the OTA code on the G1 ???

Any help is pretty much appreciated! Many thanx – hope I can help next time …! :cool: :D ;)

do you still have the stock spl on the second phone? you will need to set it up to use adb as well.

ADB problem solved with USBdeview - and "TheUnlockr" 's help !

Hi david1171,

the problem is solved. It was an ADB - driver problem (and my misunderstanding): Didn't know that each G1 device wants its OWN driver installed on the PC.

Cooking recipe is to clean up the PC from all HTC device drivers shown by USBdeview and then connect the HTC devices into separate USB sockets of the PC sockets.

Then one after the other G1/ HTC driver will install itself and each HTC device with a separate ID will be listed by "ADB devices" - so connections are up now (even in parallel). :) :rolleyes:

Thanx for your answer.

How the heck do you do that, in windows 7? I've looked everywhere, but don't see anything to disable auto mounting.

Elaboration:

I've done everything step by step, but noticed something odd. After uninstalling the HTC drivers using your usbdeview tool, I was finally able to get ADB to show up, however, after I plug the phone in, "HTC Android Phone USB Device" also loads. Windows automagically connects it, and doesn't connect the ADB device. If I uninstall it, it just reinstalls upon the next connection. If I disconnect it and try to turn on the ADB with usbdeview, it doesn't turn on. I really need some help here, phones been out of commission for a week :(

I have windows 7 and I am having issues.

First, they no longer package the drivers in the download. You have to get them as an update from the Android SDK and AVD Manager.

Second, I cannot get Android SDK and AVD Manager to launch in Win 7, so I cannot use it to download the drivers. It just opens a command window for a fraction of a second and then it is gone.
