Problems trying to get USB debugs working with Windows 7 (Android)

I am using Windows 7 64bit and I am trying to get my computer to detect my HTC Desire, but it does not pick it up. I have everything available installed via Android Updater, and I have my phone working through Ubuntu, so this is definitely a problem with Windows. Does anyone know what is wrong or how to make it work, or both?

  • I am using 64-bit version of Windows 7

  • I have an HTC Desire running Stock 2.2 (Froyo) that works with USB debugging on my Ubuntu machine.

  • Windows detects that my phone is connected. It is displayed as a mass storage device.

  • I have all the things available installed through Android Updater.

Last night I went through a lot of trouble (took me 4-6 hours), but finally got a job. Based on what you said you already did, follow these steps:

  • Restart the computer (in fact, it can’t hurt, and who knows what remnants there are scary, and all this can hurt).
  • Connect phone
  • In the device manager, right-click any unknown devices associated with the phone and update the drivers. Manually point to the usb_drivers \ directory from the Android SDK.
  • At this point, you should have only one undetected device (ADB), Windows will not be able to find drivers for it.
  • Download USBDeview , run as administrator (right-click required) and delete your phone and any drivers (your phone must be connected).
  • Turn off the phone.
  • Download HTCSync and install it.
  • Connect the phone, now Windows should try to install the drivers and not do this.
  • Open a command window and enter adb devices to make sure everything is working correctly (that is, if you put the AndroidSDK tool directory in your PATH variable).

If this problem is in Windows 7 x64 and the uninstallation in the device manager, then the choice of manual installation gave an error (something like: make sure the driver is compatible with the 64-bit version). Solved the following:

  • Connect phone
  • Launch USBDeview as Administrator
  • Sort by serial number
  • Select all devices with a serial number starting with HT
  • Delete selected devices
  • Disconnect / reconnect the phone
  • Windows will try and fail to install the device, ignore it and ...
  • Install the driver through the device manager:
    • Open the device manager ( Start → My computer , right-click → Management → Device Manager )
    • In the "Other" section, you should see a device with a yellow warning called ADB or Android Phone ; right click -> Update Driver Software ...
    • Click Browse My Computer for Driver Software
    • Click Let me choose from the list of device drivers on my computer
    • Select Show all devices , click Next.
    • Click You have a drive ...
    • Find the android sdk installation directory and find the usb_driver directory (I have additional services \ google)
    • Select android_winusb.inf and click OK
    • Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click Next
    • When the warning message “Update driver” appears, click Yes.

Have you checked the article about USB drivers for Windows ? I'm not quite sure that you should install the drivers through Android Updater.

I got my work in XP by editing the driver .inf file. It seems Desire is not listed in it.

Modify the android_winusb.inf file in the adt \ android-sdk-windows \ usb_driver folder.

I added the following lines to the appropriate NTx86 or NTamd64 section.

; HTC Desire% SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB \ VID_0BB4 & PID_0C87 & MI_01% CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB \ VID_0BB4 & PID_0C87 & REV_0100 & MI_01

This worked great for me.

Here is a very useful link that I followed for setting up my HTC Droid Incredible.

Configuring USB drivers for Android Windows 7

If you do not modify android_winusb.inf, USB debugging will not work.

I had a similar problem: I can not start the Android application from Eclipse on a real phone, and not in AVD. As soon as I installed HTC Sync, it did the magic and I was able to use a real phone.
