So most people won’t have to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) ever, but if you want to learn how or want to get a little more technical with your Android phone, here’s how to get it set up.
I. Setting Up The SDK
1. Download the Latest Android SDK from Google
2. Extract the Android SDK .Zip file to C:\AndroidSDK (this should name the new folder created AndroidSDK in the C directory.
3. On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
4. Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
!UPDATE 12.01.09 – If using Windows 7 skip steps 4 and 5 and use this procedure instead.
5. After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
6. Type the following into the command prompt window (hitting enter at the end of every line):
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
You should see a serial number pop up, it’s the serial number of your phone. This means you are all set.
If you do NOT see a serial number, then we need to reinstall the drivers.
II. IF DRIVERS JUST WON’T AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL, DO IT MANUALLY HERE
1. Download your phone’s driver’s below then goto your Device Manager on your computer, look for the phone and click on it. Then click Properties > Update Driver > Browse > Let me pick > Computer > Have Disk > Browse > Then select the driver you downloaded below:
Motorola Droid Drivers (unzip the file once you download it).
Motorola Milestone Drivers (follow the instructions on the page).
Motorola CLIQ Drivers (follow the instructions on the page).
Nexus One Drivers (unzip the file once you download it).
Samsung Behold 2 Drivers (unzip the file, run the setup.exe) (If you have Windows 64Bit, you CANNOT install the Behold Drivers. Find someone with a 32Bit system to to any Behold 2 procedures involving ADB).
Samsung Galaxy Drivers (unzip the file, do NOT run setup.exe. Instead follow step 1 in Section II and install manually.)
Samsung Galaxy Fastboot Drivers (unzip the file, then when you plug the phone in via fastboot mode, select to install drivers manually and choose the folder you just unzipped and it should install them from there).
III. (Optional) Reinstall Drivers (If they did not install properly in Section I or II)
1. Download USBDeview
2. While the phone is still plugged in, open USBDeview and sort by manufacturer. Find all the HTC drivers and delete them all.
3. Once all have been deleted, unplug the phone from the USB cable and plug it back in.
4. The correct drivers should reinstall automatically (check the drivers as they are installing, one should say ADB Device driver).
5. To check, goto Devices (or Device Manager for older versions of Windows) in your Start menu then click on the “Android Phone”. Click on the Hardware tab, and check the list of drivers for ADB Interface under Type.
IV. Some Common ADB/Fastboot Commands
ADB Commands
adb devices – lists which devices are currently attached to your computer
adb install <packagename.apk> – lets you install an Android application on your phone
adb remount – Remounts your system in write mode – this lets you alter system files on your phone using ADB
adb push <localfile> <location on your phone> – lets you upload files to your phones filesystem
adb pull <location on your phone> <localfile> – lets you download files off your phones filesystem
adb logcat – starts dumping debugging information from your handset to the console – useful for debugging your apps
adb shell <command> – drops you into a basic linux command shell on your phone with no parameters, or lets you run commands directly
Fastboot Commands
fastboot devices – lists which devices in fastboot mode are currently attached to your computer
fastboot boot <filename> – boots a rom stored on your pc specified by the filename
fastboot flash <partition> <filename> – flashes a rom stored on your pc, partition can be one of {boot, recovery, system, userdata}
Thanks for the latest SDK version

Hello Giovanny55,
ADB is for sending and controlling stuff on the phone. It can’t make your phone run better.
You just need to download the Maxisma ROM from the Downloads section, install it and also make sure to do the How To Speed Up Your Hero ROM and you should get rid of that.

Wow! Ok so I figured out how to do this after trying just about everything I can think of for 2 days.
This is to help anyone who is ready to end their existence.
1. I’m running Vista Ultimate 64 bit on both my computers (Yes I tried it all on both!)
2. I have a 32B Sapphire/MyTouch rooted and I’m running Cyanogen’s latest ROM. (If you don’t know what this is you shouldn’t be using this tutorial anyhow.)
3. I used this tutorial exactly as shown in the video. Tried using USBDeview to uninstall the drivers and still wouldn’t recognize the drivers for my phone. Windows asks for the driver. So I went to the file in the C;/AndroidSDK for usb drivers. Windows tells you that it’s not there and can’t install it.
4. Found a forum online telling me to edit the registry delete some files. (Think this process is for XP 64 bit operating systems. Either way it didn’t work.)
This worked.
1. Make sure first that you turn on USB Debugging on your phone by going to Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging. (Leave phone unplugged from computer)
2. Use USBDeview right-click to run as administrator. Delete anything labeled Android or HTC.
3. Next you want to go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446274
Download the driver and extract to a location you’ll remember.
4. The instructions in the link above are kind of vague so this should help for anyone as NOOB as me.
You want to type “cmd” into your start search bar to bring up the command prompt right-click the cmd program and run as admin.
5. You need to run Vista in Test Mode (Don’t ask… Pis*es me off too!) right where the the cursor is at the Command Prompt. No need to use cd.. or c:/ type this : “bcdedit /set testsigning on” (without parenthesis of course)
6. Reboot your computer should have test mode in each corner when it restarts.
7. Plug in your phone and when prompted let windows search for the driver. When it can’t find it install the driver manually from the file you downloaded and extracted the driver to.
8. It will give you a brand new red window that tells you how windows doesn’t recognize it. Install it anyhow.
9. Cha-Ching! Installed! Now do the reverse from the cmd prompt to get your computer out of test mode. And then reboot
Thanks Unlockr this site has the best tutorials for Android on the Web! Keep up the good work.

I keep getting the same error for my USB : Code 10: Device Cannot Start. I’ve updated the driver using the location of the usbdriver in the SDK directory. My assumption is that there is something conflicting with the device that’s not letting it start, but I cant figure out what. (I have Project64 & GBA Emulators installed on my laptop as well, maybe that’s it?) In the device manager, there is the yellow exclamation mark. I’ve uninstalled using USBDeview, and my phone is on USB Debugging as well.
Viewing in USBDeview mode, the serial number of my HTC device & all its informations shows when I click properties. My only problem is that it will not start. This is pretty funny to me, because the only reason I have downloaded Android SDK is so that I can take screenshots of my phone & possibly develop themes for it. Someone please help me!
I’m using Windows Vista 32bit and I have a Tmobile G1, rooted, running CM4.2.3

then when u plug in your phone install the driver from that folder by clicking advanced, browse (find the driver folder) then install it.
then command prompt will show u your serial number :]

I think I just figured it out (yes it’s 2:20am).
I installed everything as far as it would go, where it successfully installs 3 out of the 4 (the failed install being the “adb”).
AFTER I do that I go into the device manager, and there is a device with a “!” next to it called “adb”.
I right click on that, and “update driver”.
I choose browser for driver and direct it to the correct directory – it installed successfully.
Now I’m going to try and test it.

So i’m trying to root my Behold 2, been following the instructions on THE UNLOCKER, and want to connect it to ADB. I have the Android SDK on my C drive, and where I get stuck is when I put in the code to find the serial it gives me “LIST OF DEVICES:” and the serial is never there.
I have downloaded the Behold 2 drivers, and it installs every one except the Samsung ADB Interface which it fails on. I use the USBDEVIEW software to uninstall and try again but everytime it’s the same failure, and yes the phone is set to USB debugged, and Samsung Studio.
I’m running Windows Premium 64bit, I don’t know if running a 64 bit system has anything to do with this. Any help would be great! I thought I was a tech junkie until I ran into this.

Just FYI for those of you using wanting to Ubuntu.
Since I started doing development in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) I didn’t wanna do it in Windows, so I did my research and finally I got ADB working on it. Here is what I did
1. Login as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Dapper, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Karmic Koala, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
2. Now execute:
chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
3. reboot
Reference: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up
NOTE: For Gusty/Hardy, Dapper use 51-android.rules instead of 70-android.rules.
NOTE: “0bb4″ is the USB vendor ID for HTC, for more vendor IDs refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#VendorIds

You need a space between cd and AndroidSDK\tools\
Then also make sure you renamed the sdk folder to AndroidSDK and it is on your C drive (not in any subfolders).
Also try doing it step by step like this:

If it cant find the system path it is because you did not rename the folder AndroidSDK and you did not put it on the C drive (not in any folders).
Also check to make sure there isnt any extra folder inside the SDK folder (i.e. AndroidSDK/androidsdk/tools).
Good luck!

Go into your C drive in My Computer, then goto AndroidSDK then tools. Do you see a program called adb in there? If not then redo the Setup ADB procedure.

So any word yet on how to officialy work past the problem with the drivers not installing properly? cause i still cant figure out a way to bring up the serial numbers. USBDeview is telling me that the computer see’s the driver, but of course when i run the comand’s to check for the serial nothing comes up…and still no actuall answer to solve this problem. I think this problem is most apparent with xp users like myself?

Jared,
You need to manually install the drivers. Read this part (if your drivers are not listed there Google them or goto the manufacturer’s website for them, i.e. HTC):

Hey, thanks for the quick response. I have tried everything in the guide you recommended and I have searched all over Google for my driver. The only driver I could find is the android sdk manager tool which downloads the usb adb drive. I have read on the xda forums that my model of HTC hero is the 130 model. I don’t know if that helps you help me but that’s where Im at now. If you perhaps have a link or can direct me to a link that has the driver for my phone I would love you even more than I do now.

First of all, great website. I rooted my mt3g using your methods. Here is my scenario, I’m trying to root my nexus but when using the command window I get the following *daemon not running. Stating it now* *daemon started succesfuly* after this no serial number comes up. Using the USBDeview I noticed that while having the phone plugged to the computer it shows me a serial number, my question is, on the commnad promp window, is it neccessary for the serial number to show up or am I good to go given the fact that I’m able to see the number using USBDeview app?
Thank you very much.

The serial number has to show up in the command prompt (this means that ADB can see the phone, which is necessary).
Download the Nexus drivers manually on this page and follow the instructions in Section III to install them.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing the setting on my HTC Tattoo (Orange UK). I cannot get passed by the either “Insert SIM card to place calls” screen when no sim installed. Or when sim installed passed the “Insert your unlock code” screen.
Any help would be much appreciated.

That means your SIM card has a lock code on it. Either put in your passcode to unlock it (you created it if it your SIM card), or use a different SIM card.

Just not working at all. My laptop refuses to allow the installation of drivers because of some code that says it can’t find the “digital signature” of the drivers, and that’s where it stops with me. I can’t get it to do anything at all, so all my attempts to figure out this confusing, frustrating bunch of bullcrap that I have to go through so that my overpriced, ridiculous piece of crap called a Samsung Behold II, can become tolerable to use, is proving to me that I’d rather just have a goddammed Pong game.

Try to cd one step at a time. Type:

cd androidsdk\
(if that is what you renamed your SDK folder like you were supposed to) and see if that brings up C:\ANDROIDSDK\
Then type:
cd tools\
and see if it comes up with C:\ANDROIDSDK\TOOLS\ if not, then you know that it cant find the tools folder. Go look in the androidsdk folder and make sure the tools folder is right in front of you the minute you open that folder (if there is another folder you have to click through to get to it then you did not follow the directions and need to take everything out of that folder and place it in the androidsdk so that the tools folder is visible the minute you open the sdk folder, got it?)

For everyone using a Behold 2 and has a 64bit system you can still root! Restart your computer and press R8. After you do that disable Driver Signing. If the drivers were already installed you should be able to see that everything for this device is installed correctly.

@Jonathan Healey – It’s basically the same process for a MacBook Pro, except that you do not have to install anything, just download the latest Android SDK, inside that folder there is a folder named “tools”, open a terminal window, browse to that folder, but instead of typing just “adb devices” type “./adb devices” and the serial number should pop up….and of course the obvious, have USB Debugging is on and yout phone plugged in.

I went throw driver installation in my old laptop which is running Windows XP SP2.
I did install drivers for HTC myTouch 3G and Samsung Behold 2.
Everything is working properly for both devices, no problem at all. Right now I am ready to root my phones.
In the order to process and illuminate any kind of potential problem I did install .NET Framework 3.5 and latest JDK. Then I unpack Android SDK and find out it is not usb_drivers folder in there, under folder. When I execute Setup SDK under folder I got an error about HTTPS access which was easy to solve inside by selecting Force HTTPS under Settings section. After that it took a while to get packages and USB drivers for HTC. Anyway I did install as well drivers from the link for Behold 2.
After all at all my phones I went to Application settings > Development and selected USB debugging and Stay awake. Connected one phone and waited for drivers installation and then for other one the same action.
Command line execution showed proper information for both phones.
Thank you guys for your advices and solutions.
I can tell base on my installation experience – it is working for HTC myTouch 3G and Samsung Behold 2.

Geneo,
An apk file is a program file for Android (the OS your phone is running, like how your computer is running Windows OS).
Simply plug you phone in via USB cable to your computer, pull down the notification bar at the top and select the USB notification that came up. Then click mount.
Now you should be able to transfer files to the sd card folder that just popped up on your computer when you hit mount.
Transfer that .apk file to the sd card, then unplug the usb cable.
Now goto the Market on your phone and search for ‘Linda’ (without the quotes). Download and install the Linda File Manager Free program.
Once that is installed open it from your application list and click on sdcard then click on the .apk file you just saved to the card. If it gives you a warning click on the settings button and check Allow non market apps, then hit back and click on the apk again. Choose install. Once it is done installing, go back to your application list and it’ll be there.

Great tutorials on this site no doubt!
Seems like other people were having the same issue as me: the drivers not installing for the htc magic. The magic (and G1, others) are conspicuous in their absence in the list of drivers above. Also in the lack of replys to comments relating to difficulty with those drivers.
The adb driver was not installing for me, until I installed htc sync – then it worked fine. I was trying to avoid installing htc sync, but no way to do that that was obvious to me.

Phil,
1. This cannot screw up your phone. It doesn’t touch your phone its a tool for developers to communicate with their phone and create applications…
2. You need to click How Tis at the top of the site, then Android then your phone. Do the How To Root then How To Load a ROM. After that you can change your phones themes etc

I’ve tried this process three times even after reinstalling the drivers of my phone and also redownloading the sdk file and I can’t get my computer to pull up the serial number. I am using windows xp and I did the “How To: Root my HTC Evo” before this. Will that cause the error I am having or what is it exactly I’m doing wrong? I’m just trying to get the Nand so I can download the Cyanogan ROM.

Devin,
Make sure USB Debugging is checked ON in Settings > Applications > Development.

Hello, I have a MyTouch 3G (the one with the 3.5mm headphone jack, and its running 1.6). I get up to the part where its supposed to show your serial number, but all it displays is nothing (no errors or anything, just a blank line). I’ve tried putting my phone in with USB debugging turned on, but still nothing (Am I supposed to mount it or just plug it into the computer?). By the way I’m running a 32bit Windows XP Professional. Please any help is great.

My debug is checked on and I am still having the same issue. When I open my cmd it and type what is prompted it says ‘The system cannot find the path specified.’
