  1. Download the attached .ZIP and expand it somewhere you can find it (eg. c:\ADBDrivers_v3).
  2. Plug your phone in via USB. Either Windows will install a few drivers and you won't get any prompts, or you'll be prompted for the location of the ADB driver (select the folder you expanded the files to earlier).
  3. If you don't see any prompted, open device manager (Start Menu, right-click on My Computer, click Manage. In the window that comes up, scan the tree at the left, locate "Device Manager" and click on it.)
  4. Look for a device with a yellow exclamation mark. Assuming you don't have other devices missing drivers or otherwise misconfigured, this should be your DX.
  5. Right-click the DX and then click "Update Driver"
  6. Click "Browse my computer ..."
  7. Click "Let me pick from ..."
  8. Click "Have Disk..."
  9. Click "Browse..."
  10. Browse to the folder you created in the begining (it should contain the folders amd64 and i386)
  11. Click "Open"
  12. Click "Ok"
  13. From the list select "Android Composite ADB Interface"
  14. Click "Next"
  15. You might get a dialog saying "Installing this device driver is not recommended...". If so, click Yes (we know it's a valid driver from Google)
  16. If all went well, you should see "Windows has successfully updated your driver software"

okay, I still can't get the adb drivers to install.  I get "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device" when I point it at the unzipped downloaded file folder.

I had ADB set up with my droid at home (win7) and on my work computer (xp) but while windows recognizes the DROIDX device with the drivers installed, ADB says no devices found on both computers. I tried removing the drivers and installing specifically the ones attached instead of the ones that came on the phone, neither one helps. I've tried it with the droid connected for charge only, PC mode, windows media sync mode and usb storage mode. No matter what I do, ADB will not recognize the device. I can't believe I'm so stumped on step 1!

Does the phone need to be in recovery to do this or just connected normally?

Thanks.

You need to add the directory that adb.exe lives in to your system path.  For example, mine is in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, so I stuck that on to my path.

Like DroidSloth, I too am having this problem. My Droid X shows that Android ADB Interface is installed fine in device manager but when I try to run the adb commands I get a "error: device not found" error. This is my first android phone and first root attempt - what am I missing? Trying this on Win7 x64.

Got it - first of all, I didn't have usb in developer mode (not sure if it's necessary but I didn't have that set). I also noticed that the usb driver in device manager said Android ADB Interface not Android Composite ADB Interface - I think I installed the drivers from the SDK instead of the ones posted here. I uninstalled and reinstalled the right drivers and then it worked. Hope that helps anyone else getting that error.

C:\Documents and Settings\caseyr\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
error: device not found

Do you think this is a driver issue?

when i try to adb push Superuser.apk  /sdcard/Superuser.apk 

I get "failed to copy .... : Permission denied.

Any ideas? I am not new to adb and i have tried allowing full access via permissions but no luck yer.
Any help would be appreciated... 


Make sure you're not set to Mass Storage mode. Set your DX to PC Mode. Worked for me.


I have mine in PC mode and get device not found when I do the push.  I had installed the drivers of the DX when I first got it, is this the problem?

If so I can't seem to install the drivers posted here on my Win7 64-bit.  Keeps saying they aren't compatible, can't even force it.

Ok I didnt think I was a noob but maybe I am wrong. I am running win 7 on a dell netbook and I cant get the computer to recognize the phone no matter how how I connect (PC mode, Charge Only, etc..). Every time I plug in the phone computer automatically sees it as a motorola product and installs drivers for USB mass storage device or as a CD/DVD drive. When I look in Device manager there are no exclamation marks. To start I have to get this darned computer to recognize my phone as the DX. Anyone who can give me a hand?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to enable USB Debugging. So many months with my droid never having turned that off, I forgot all about that. Where is the embarassing emoicon?

I'm having a heck of a time getting "adb devices" to show my phone.  It just says "List of devices attached" and its blank.  I got the right driver, I'm sure of it.  Tried reinstalling, nothing.  Reboot, nothing.

Ok, I got as far as step 11, but I get this error: "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems. Also, it doesn't show up in my Device Manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface" it shows up as "Mot Composite ADB Interface." Any thoughts?
