[Q] fastboot no longer works - G1 General

I have a folder for android stuff like fastboot and adb that I keep for fixing my phone. I keep the minimum files required for fastboot to work... adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, fastboot.exe and the 64bit usb drivers.
I used to be able to use fastboot even after formatting my computer (and reinstalling the drivers), but it's been a long time and when I tried to do the same again, it no longer works.
Windows says the driver is not compatible with the device. I download Android SDK Tools to download the usb drivers there. They install, but fastboot still doesn't detect the phone.
I tried following tutorials out there to get fastboot to work, but I tried on 2 HTC Dreams and they don't get detected. What am I missing?
Only thing I remember being different is that I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1 now and before I was using plain Windows 7 x64.

You need to use the usb driver removal tool and install the usb driver from SDK.

yes you've got my same trouble.
this is my thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032249
i solved with backtrack 3.. don't ask me why because i don't know.. i just have a try with bt3 because i use bring it with me on my pendrive (it can ever be useful )

The old drivers I had were never installed. For some reason, Windows did not recognize a compatible driver. I did download a fresh set of drivers from SDK and windows did install them, but fastboot devices is not listing anything.

I see no reason why I can't use fastboot on Windows if it worked before. Perhaps if there is no other way, I'll try Linux distros.

It sound like there is no compatible driver for Windows 7 x64 SP1. Check google to see may be they might have an updates.

So there is an actual difference between win7 and sp1 in regards to the drivers and not that I set it up wrong?

From my experience on working with Windows. Every version always different. As far as how much different, I can't tell.
If you had it working with W7 before SP1, then there is a change in driver that causing it not to work correctly. Do you required to upgrade to W7 SP1? Or is that your preference?

Well that's all I can think of. Just wanted to know if anyone else had problems with sp1. I think faastboot should work with my winxp vms.. gonna try that next time I try to use fastboot..

It's probably your environment settings. Download the sdk and make sure your PATH has the extracted sdk folder location in it. I'm using windows 7 64-but ultimate, and did have a few problems at first, but everything is great now.
Also, I installed the Java Runtime Environment on my machine because I was developing an android app and I need it to run files within the SDK (like to make an emulated sdcard). You may want to install the JRE and add that to your PATH as well.
Google HTC sync x64 drivers. I installed a few weeks ago and had no issues with adb today.
oh sorry i thought thats what you meant
installed the HTC 64 bit drivers and still no go I cannot even use htc sync
I had a problem getting the device to work in cmd with xp64. I had to make sure I had a working ADB driver. One blog by a guy named Chris Bunney said to use PDAnet's driver. Basically install the 64 bit version of PDAnet in order to get the driver and then uninstall if you're not going to use it (but make sure you have the driver set up first). If you've already got a driver installed, go to the driver and manually pick "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" as the working driver for the device. Again, this is how I got it working on xp64 not sure how it'll go for windows 7 64 bit.

Did you use the updated driver from THIS link? Beyond that I have no other idea what to tell you beyond putting the android sdk in the root of your c: drive.
I just tried this on my girlfriends laptop with 7 x64 pro (completely fresh), and had no issues.
I had the same problem, this guide and some googling got me up and running quickly.

Google Maps, Facebook and ADB

Hello All.
I've had my UK, T-Mobile G1 for quite a while now. I have rooted it and it is running the latest CyanogenMod recovery image and ROM. I also have Apps2SD set up on my 8GB SD card, on a 512MB ext partition. This was all working fine until the problems below occurred...
I'm having some problems with several apps and ADB.
My PC runs Windows 7, 64 bit, and I can't seem to find a driver for the G1's ADB. I'm probably being incredibly stupid, but I just can't find one. I have used one before on Vista, where I had to set some boot options, but I'm not too sure / happy about doing that on my nicely functioning Windows 7. And as my friend once said; "You mess around with windows, then windows will mess around with you"...
But, anyway, I can't seem to get ADB working, if someone could either send me a link to the drivers or guide me through it, I'd be grateful...
Also, it may be due to me running CyanogenMod, but if I try to update the Facebook app, it downloads the app, and then when it tries to install, gives me the error "Installation Unsuccessful - Incompatible Update".
And with the Google Maps app, it says "Installation unsuccessful - Package file was not signed correctly". This may be due to me trying to get the hacked version of the app to get the Google Maps Navigation working in the UK, but I couldn't get that to work, so I uninstalled it and Nav Launcher, and now when I try to update from the Market it gives me that error.
I've seen a guide online with ADB commands, but as I have no access to ADB, I'm a tad screwed. I've tried runnign the commands in the Terminal Emulator in the phone, which does approximately nothing whatsoever.
So, can anyone give me any guidance on any of my Android problems?
Thanks in advance - Ethan

In that case, do you remember where you obtained the driver from? I would love a link, or a zip file or something...
I'm on Vista x64 SP2 and I can use ADB just fine. You just need to download the SDK and then get the USB driver through there. It used to come included, but now you need to use the ADV and SDK manager and download the drivers as an SDK Component through there.
After that, make sure your phone is set to USB Debugging mode and plug it in then point windows to the new drivers. If it doesn't want to install the new drivers, you might need to remove the old ones first. I had to use USB Deview (DL link at bottom of page) and removed all installed HTC drivers. After that I plugged my G1 back in, pointed it at the newly downloaded drivers and all was well.
I'm running adb/fastboot/android sdk on win7 64b ultimate. The drivers are included in the sdk download. Once you download the sdk, make sure you have java installed. (I had to install JRE and JDK to get it to work properly, not sure if this was needed) Anyhow, when you have the sdk downloaded, run the sdk setup program. Go to settings and check the box for force update (unsure of the exact terminology used there) then go to available updates and your drivers are the last option on the list.

Android USB Tethering Problem

An odd one....
I have one of the HD2 Android releases on my phone, and it's working fine EXCEPT....
USB tethering does not work.
Now here's the odd part.
1. I have two machines. Both running Win7/x64.
2. One loads the RNDIS driver and works fine. The other can't find the driver on Windows Update.
I have no clue what's going on, but the USB signature is VID_0bb4&PID_0FFe, which is valid for the HTC Sapphire.
And, like I said, the other machine -also running Win7 - finds it just fine.
Any ideas?
Answering my own question...
If you run into this, put this somewhere on your disk and point "Update Driver" at it.
It'll work.
Now why this was on the disk of ONE machine (which worked) and NOT the other (which did not), and why Windows Update wouldn't find it either (!!!) is unknown.
All I know is that this is the file that Windows 7 wanted, and didn't have on one of the computers - but did have on the other.
i'm running Windows 7 x64 and when i start usb tethering from android on HD2 there is Android Device driver missing in Device Manager, I've read that Windows 7 already have Remote NDIS support so no need for seperate driver download if you have Windows Mobile Device Center but it ain't working, the same problem as you had.
Luckely, your solution and this separate driver works, Windows 7 complains about unsigned driver but who cares, USB tethering is working
Thanks!
didn't work...
i attempted installing the driver OEM106.inf, but received an error once it was loaded on my pc:
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
i was having similar problems as Genesis trying to tether my Android phone via USB to my pc and receiving a Remote NDIS driver problem (same as above). I successfully tethered my phone to my PC once (and only once), but after I woke the computer from sleep mode, my pc began giving me errors on the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" stating that windows cannot load the drivers ("rndismpx.sys" & "usb8023x.sys"). I haven't been able to tether via USB since then.
Windows Update states the driver is up to date, and when I tried Genesis3's driver fix, it only gave me the same error.
Any ideas?
Running win7/x64 on a toshiba i3, and a HTC nexus 1 running android 2.2.2
The files referenced have somehow been damaged or destroyed. Find them from another machine and put them back, and the OEM file I posted will work.
Those two files have to be on your machine - the OEM file is the pointer to them, but the base-level drivers have to exist.
you may need the latest version of htc sync
i did all my flashing on an xp computer and when i got win7 i just could not get any drivers to work. i downloaded the latest version of htc sync and all the drivers loaded just fine. time to flash this thing again ive had the same rom for two weeks
This is what I was looking for, and it worked for me, thanks!
PISSA! Tried for a while to get usb tethering to work and this did it! Took a minute for windows to sort things out after the driver update but its working! THANK YOU!

Worked like a charm, thanks! I just had to update driver with provided file and it started working. Thank you very much again! Bump may not be a bad idea, maybe few more users will solve their problems with this. HD2 isn't a native Android device, so it wasn't that strange that it didn't worked out-of-the-box even with Win7 RDNIS (or sth like that) native support.

[SOLVED] Virtual Machine running Windows with ADB

I am using my laptop for ADB currently, but I want to know if it is possible to run ADB through windows in a Virtual Machine? I have gotten to where I have ADB running and the VM reconizeds the phone but as soon as I type,
Code:
adb devices
There is no response. Side note: I am using VMware and am running Tvall's CM7 on my phone.
Edit: solved was a driver issue
adb works when drivers for adb were installed
did you install drivers from Android SDK Tools?
at second you need turn usb debugging on (settings/applications/development)

Yes I know this. The virtual machine knows the device is there(ADB drivers are installed) but in cmd it doesn't work. USB debugging is on, another option is the wireless ADB from CM7, but I have no idea how that works. Thanks for the help.

When connecting phone through usb debugging there is 'Android USB Devices' section in Device Manager (My Computer / Manage / System Tools / Device Manager). Do you have this section while connecting?
Wireless adb application establishes connection via custom port and adb can use this port to communicate with phone.

In device Manager it has "Android Composite ADB Interface" and a "HTC Android Device" My VM connects to HTC Android device, not letting me connect to it in ADB. Before I connect my device and before it installed the drivers I installed the Google driver package from AndroidSDK. Thanks for your help.

I uninstalled all the drivers (with USBdeview) and instead of installing with the Google Driver I used the HTC one for MyTouch 3G. I think I installed the drivers before I plugged in the phone. And also what software are you using to run your VM?

I am using Oracle VM Virtualbox. Doing VM Windows 7 under Ubuntu 11.10.
I have been trying a few times in the VM Windows 7. I tried the lastest HTC Sync 3.0.0.0 as well as the older version 2.0.3.3 that worked when I was using full Windows 7.
But in VM, nothing works
The VM win 7 can detect a USB Composite Device, but it cant find the correct driver.
edit:
Oh my god!! hopefully you still havent read this post yet because I just got it working!
In the settings of the VM, theres an option to enable USB 2.0
But to enable that, we must install the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
It works!
edit2:
but somehow the transfer speed is really slow...
i guess i will just install windows again dual boot it

I want to know that because at the moment the transfering and intallation of APK files in Oracle VM VirtualBox is utterly slow (comparing with my old Win7 days), I am interested in other alternative VM which might be faster.

Thanks in adcance.

[Q] Problem updating the ADB drivers

Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

Ok ty, I started over, deleted all the drivers and let Windows install the drivers themself. Still not working. I find it very strange why Android Composite ADB Interface pops up 4 times in the device manager...
