How to install the ADB driver for any Android device?

Question

I am an Android developer. I have a new HTC Inspire 4g phone, but I don’t know how to install a USB driver for it. This is my android_winusb.inf file:

; ; Android WinUsb driver installation. ; [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Class = AndroidUsbDeviceClass ClassGuid = {3F966BD9-FA04-4ec5-991C-D326973B5128} Provider = %ProviderName% DriverVer = 12/06/2010,4.0.0000.00000 CatalogFile.NTx86 = androidwinusb86.cat CatalogFile.NTamd64 = androidwinusba64.cat ; ; This section seems to be required for WinUsb driver installation. ; If this section is removed the installer will report an error ; "Required section not found in INF file". ; [ClassInstall32] Addreg = AndroidWinUsbClassReg [AndroidWinUsbClassReg] HKR,,,0,%ClassName% HKR,,Icon,,-1 [Manufacturer] %ProviderName% = Google, NTx86, NTamd64 [Google.NTx86] ; HTC Dream %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01 %SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FFF ; HTC Magic %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01 ; ;Moto Sholes %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_41DB %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_41DB&MI_01 ; ;Google NexusOne %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02&MI_01 %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E12&MI_01 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&MI_01 [Google.NTamd64] ; HTC Dream %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01 %SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FFF ; HTC Magic %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01 ; ;Moto Sholes %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_41DB %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_22B8&PID_41DB&MI_01 ; ;Google NexusOne %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02&MI_01 %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E12&MI_01 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&MI_01 [USB_Install] Include = winusb.inf Needs = WINUSB.NT [USB_Install.Services] Include = winusb.inf AddService = WinUSB,0x00000002,WinUSB_ServiceInstall [WinUSB_ServiceInstall] DisplayName = %WinUSB_SvcDesc% ServiceType = 1 StartType = 3 ErrorControl = 1 ServiceBinary = %12%\WinUSB.sys [USB_Install.Wdf] KmdfService = WINUSB, WinUSB_Install [WinUSB_Install] KmdfLibraryVersion = 1.9 [USB_Install.HW] AddReg = Dev_AddReg [Dev_AddReg] HKR,,DeviceInterfaceGUIDs,0x10000,"{F72FE0D4-CBCB-407d-8814-9ED673D0DD6B}" [USB_Install.CoInstallers] AddReg = CoInstallers_AddReg CopyFiles = CoInstallers_CopyFiles [CoInstallers_AddReg] HKR,,CoInstallers32,0x00010000,"WdfCoInstaller01009.dll,WdfCoInstaller","WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll" [CoInstallers_CopyFiles] WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll WdfCoInstaller01009.dll [DestinationDirs] CoInstallers_CopyFiles=11 [SourceDisksNames] 1 = %DISK_NAME%,,,\i386 2 = %DISK_NAME%,,,\amd64 [SourceDisksFiles.x86] WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll = 1 WdfCoInstaller01009.dll = 1 [SourceDisksFiles.amd64] WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll = 2 WdfCoInstaller01009.dll = 2 [Strings] ProviderName = "Google, Inc."

Answer 1

I found a solution myself. I use the PDANet tool to automatically search for a driver.

Answer 2

UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVER

I have the same problem, but I solved it easily by simply following these steps:

* connect your Android phone in debug mode (to enable debug mode. goto settings scroll down. About the phone scroll down, tap Build Number seven times and it will automatically turn on the developer option by enabling developer options and checking USB debugging).

download Universal ADB Driver Installer

* select Adb Driver Installer (Universal)

* install it * it will automatically detect your Android device (any kind of brand) * chose the device and installed

Answer 3

If no other driver package worked for your obscure device, read how to make a truly universal abd and fastboot driver from the universal USB USB driver . The trick is to use CompatibleID instead of HardwareID in the driver. Section "INF Models"
