Hmm...I have that already in my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (mine has .rules, not -rules...I'm assuming that's a typo in your post?) and I'm still coming up with ?????????? as the device and no permissions, all attempts to do anything with adb result in it telling me I don't have permission to do these things.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfk2:
Yah that was a typo.. The no permissions error appears to me that adb doesn't have access to the /dev/ devices used. I'm not at home so I cannot lookup what device is created and used in /dev/ for you to check the permissions. I know I killed the adb server and restarted it a few times while trying to get mine to work, along with updating to the latest sdk. So you may want to try those things, you could also try running adb as root and seeing if that fixes it (if so, then it's a simple permission error with udev not creating it with correct permissions).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swervo:
Alrighty, I think I got it. I'm no udev expert (in fact, I'm rather useless at it), but this worked for me.

1) Make sure USB debugging is turned on on the phone.

2) Plug the phone into the USB port on the machine.

3) Make sure /etc/udev/51-android.rules has

in it.

4) run

5) As root, run

6) run

Worked for me to get the device recognized.

Hey guys, I have the Android 1.5 SDK/ADB installed on my computer.. so I don't know what will happen when I mount my N1 (haven't tried yet). I want to be able to mount my N1 normally without ADB or anything, 'cause I'm not going to root it for a while. Thanks!

I can confirm that the instructions in the OP work on Vista. Thanks a lot, th3fallen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swervo:
Nothing will happen, ADB doesn't start interacting with your phone without you explicitly telling it to. Also, if you don't have debugging turned on on your phone, then it won't even if you do explicitly tell it to. Feel free to mount the drive on it.

ADB and Root

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get ADB to recognize my phone. ADB is all set up correctly, I have it updated (I believe) to the most recent version. I installed the updated USB driver and I see the "Android Phone" in my device manager. I have USB Debugging checked off in my phone settings. ADB worked fine for my G1, but it doesn't recognize my Nexus One.

I shouldn't have to root the phone to have ADB working should I? Can anybody think of something I overlooked? I am running Windows XP Professional SP3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccunningham83:
Okay, so I navigated to the "1.1-nexusone-superboot" folder in the command prompt and tried

adb-windows devices

and my device showed up. Now I want to move those files to where I originally had my adb files in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools so that all I have to type is

adb devices

to have my phone listed. I tried replacing the files in my \tools folder and renaming them to what they were named before, but that didn't work. Could somebody please help me get this set up properly?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11ryan11:
in your command prompt you have to be in the c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ directory for it to work
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffyj:
I was having the same problem yesterday. But i'm on Vista. Nothing seemed to work, but ADB was working fine on my Mytouch. At any rate, I ended up going to download the most recent SDK and trying adb again from a command prompt @ the tools location of the newest SDK, and then everything worked. I don't know if that was something I should have done in the first place and I just didn't know it (duh), but that's what worked for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccunningham83:
Can't you go into the Enviroment Variables and change the class path so you don't have to be in the folder? I think I can figure it out how to change it so I don't have to be in the \tools folder, but I would also like to eliminate having to type "adb-windows" before every command, when I could just type "adb".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyTownFantasy:
Confirmed it works on window XP sp3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timal:
For Vista make sure you use: adb-windows devices

instead of my normal adb devices. You should see your phone listed then. A previous post of this showed me the light ! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11ryan11:
i have vista and i dont have to do this....

i think because i added the sdk tools directory to my system variables...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11ryan11:
no... that will make it so you dont have to type the windows-adb ...

add the tools directory to the path system variables

you will need to be in the tools directory on your command prompt however... unless you copy-paste all the files in the tools directly to the C drive... then you can type straight from C

And then, promptly after unlocking it, adb devices just shows me the ????????? again. The method I posted above to make it work in Linux appears to not be a valid method, as it's not working now.

Got the nexus plugged in through USB in debugging mode, installed this driver. When I do adb remount I get error message: "error: device not found"

What am I doing wrong? Does this driver not work for Windows XP?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timal:
First type adb-windows devices and see if it sees your phone. Mine would not work until I typed the - between adb-windows.

Are there different drivers for XP? I have tried & tried but no luck with either adb or adb-windows. I could never get adb running on my MyTouch but I had it running on my G1 just fine
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITechJunkie:
Confirmed Working

I successfully have gotten adb working with my N1 as a regular user.

Set up a new file called /etc/udev/rules.d/52-android.rules

Instead of using:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

Replace "0bb4" with "18d1"

It should then look like this:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

Then restart the udev service and the adb server or simply reboot.

I'm not a udev expert but I'll do my best to answer any questions on this subject.

Edit:

I should have specified that this was for linux in case that wasn't obvious in the first place.

I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't get fastboot devices to list anything.

I got fastboot from the superboot archive in the N1 rooting thread. Then I got adb to recognize my N1 by adding the file 52-android.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d The contents are:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

I restarted udev with

service udev restart

Then the following works after unplugging and replugging in my phone:

./adb-linux devices

HT9CSPXXXXXX	device

However, fastboot doesn't work:

[streeter]:~/android/1.1-nexusone-superboot$ ./fastboot-linux devices

still cannot connect...

I'm still having trouble. I updated the nexus one drivers, but I still cannot connect to adb.

I've tried to find the phone using adb-windows devices, and adb devices but neither way does the phone show up. The USB debugging is checked off.

Is there a specific method of doing it? do I have to be in the recovery, bootloader or the fastboot? Either way, I do not see the phone.

I've tried updating other drivers for this phone (composite usb device and the mass storage device but I keep getting the message best drivers are already installed).

I have vista and had my g1 working on it.

It seems my old ADB drivers (that I had thrown into the system32 folder in order to perform adb from anywhere) were conflicting with the new ones I am trying to use. I deleted the old, restarted and voila.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordecai84:
That was the issue. I kept missing the 'boot into fastboot usb' mode directions. Did that and I was able to get fastboot to detect the phone.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ssantos6981:
did you have adb with the G1? If so, that was causing my problem. You have to delete the adb files associated with the G1. At least that was my problem on vista. Once I deleted those files, adb-windows "insert command here" worked like a charm.

Hope this helps.

i am having trouble connection getting adb working, i put my phone in bootloader mode on fast boot, but when i am typing adb remount it says that device not found. i am using windows 7 ultimate 32bit. please help me. thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swervo:
I might be wrong on this, but I'm pretty certain that fastboot.exe applies to fastboot mode, and adb applies to non-fastboot mode. i.e., you can use adb when you're in recovery mode or with the phone fully up and running, but not when you're booted into fastboot.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I had an issue where all drivers appeared to be installed, but even after restarting "adb devices" and "adb remount" did not succeed.

What worked for me was to uncheck "usb debugging" and re-select it while the device is connected via USB.

Immediately Windows detected the "ADB composite ADB Interface" device and I pointed it at the files from the original poster...all works now.

Note: This is the exact same driver you would get if you download/update the Android SDK. I updated my SDK yesterday and the byte sizes match up to the byte.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eighty1:
Not sure if I should ask this here. I did what the directions say and all seemed to be working fine. The next thing I did was try and unlock my bootloader with fast boot and received this message "This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". Does this have anything to do with the drivers I installed or has something possibly erased it. Not sure really if this is where I should post for help. I am new to Android and have it for a day but m eager to get going. Thank you

I had the same type of problem different solution...

Platform:

Windows Xp SP3 to Nexus one android

Problem:

fastboot-windows devices works; device driver succesfully loads and apearrs as Andriod Composite ADB Interface in the device manager. should work right... nope

Solution:

after several iterations using the correct driver. here is what finally worked for me. magic

1) allow android SDK to download driver

run android-sdk-windows/tools/android.bat

select the latest usb-driver, revision 3

2) in the device manager i selected properties for the android device bridge.

In the driver tab selected "Uninstall" and allowed the XP to reboot.

3) once shutdown, unplugged N1

waited (and waited) for XP to come up

4) plugged N1 back in

installed driver by selecting 'browse'

browse to the android-sdk-windows directory and select the usb_driver folder

5) start->run->cmd

run> adb devices

I also have the android-sdk-windows/tools in my path just to be safe.

6) pray

Driver info:

8/11/2009

2.0.10.2

not sure why its called rev 3 when not reflected in driver info
