Samsung Android Adb Interface Driver

Active6 years, 4 months ago

Has anyone been successful with hooking up a Samsung Galaxy with ADB running on Win XP Pro SP3? Links to already existing threads or tutorials related to this would be much appreciated! Thanks!

If you have only installed the Intel USB driver (above) you will only find the Intel Android Device; however, if you have previously installed another manufacturer’s ADB driver you may also see ADB Interface, Android Phone, Android or other names in this list. The Driver Update Tool – is a utility that contains more than 27 million official drivers for all hardware, including samsung android adb interface driver. Installing the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) USB Driver on a Windows Computer. Nexus 5 or Android Tablet or ADB Interface, etc.). In that case, if you have previously installed the Intel or Google or Samsung or some other Android USB debug driver, you can select that driver from the available list of drivers and it will work with your new.

  1. Install Samsung New PC Studio that comes with the CD. It includes Windows drivers

  2. Make sure that in your phone settings:
    'Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging' is checked
    'Settings > About phone > Additional Settings > Mass store' is NOT checked

  3. In android-sdk-windowsusb_driverandroid_winusb.inf add the following lines under [Google.NTx86] if you're using a 32-bit operating system. Otherwise add them under [Google.NTamd64] if you have a 64-bit operating system:
  4. Connect your phone, in device manager you should see an Unknown device. Right click and say update driver, select android-sdk-windows/usb_driver directory. Android Bootloader Interface will be installed.

  5. If your device isn't listed when you say adb devices in command prompt, type adb kill-server

(For the following steps, I assume that you are using Google Android SDK 1.5 R3 or above)

In order to get your Windows XP recognize the Samsung Galaxy Android phone so you can develop on device , you have to do the following:

refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

Add the following to your android-sdk-windowsusb_driverandroid_winusb.inf:

under [Google.NTx86] add:

under [Google.NTamd64] add:

  1. Go to http://www.samsung.com/kies.
  2. Download and install kies(it will install the drivers)

Many people dislike kies. But this is the easiest way of getting the drivers installed.

It may be a problem with the phone if the drivers and adb are installed correctly see this thread adb doesn’t see phone device (Galaxy Apollo) for some more info on it

I was experiencing massive issues getting adb to work for my phone. It had been working at one stage prior to a firmware update (Now on Android 4.0.4 on a UK Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100) and it randomly stopped working. Im on XP 64 and it may only be an issue for 64 bit operating systems.

Usb debugging had always been set, the drivers were installed, but adb would not work.

Numerous help guides all seem to concentrate on getting the correct drivers to install with kies or with extracted drivers from kies only but this was largely not my problem (or the drivers with kies for the samsung s2 no longer allow adb?)My phone is rooted with superuser and busybox only but otherwise has completely standard firmware (had been rooted and was unrooted when android 4.0.4 was upgraded).

So starting from a point with the drivers installed I can connect to my phone as an MTP, as a Camera, as a Mass Storage device and with Kies. I have Kies installed and have had it reinstall the drivers multiple times but this should probably work fine without Kies and just the latest drivers installed as available from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956. I have a device listed in Device Manager 'Samsung Android ADB Interface' with driver version '2.9.505.831' but no ADB.

It appeared I had an issue with the uart connection on my phone (as shown in the phoneutil screen) and also I needed to be able to install the adb interface driver from the google sdk.

I was able to do neither of these using the standard methods/guides I was able to find elsewhere.

To change the uart setting back to pda and the usb connection back to pda the special code *#7284# no longer works on the Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 Android 4.0.4 (or at least not for me)I had to download the bettercut apk (which I may very well had to pirate because I couldn't find it in the market) and made a shortcut to phoneutil manually

bettercut > new shortcut > no > all activities > phoneutil

There you can change the settings to modem and back to pda (when connected in modem mode xp listed a new device '7 CDS's' which would not install).

After that I had to install the google driver from the sdk (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64sdkextrasgoogleusb_driver)

And to allow Windows XP 64 to install the drivers you need to edit 'android_winusb.inf' to add the samsung galaxy as a valid device.

I added the following lines to [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64].

android_winusb.inf

I found instructions to add a device USBVID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_00 however this did not match my phone, I needed to manually determine the device ID and add it myself before windows would let me install the drivers.

Device Manager > Samsung Android Phone > Samsung Android ADB Interface > Properties > Details > Matching Device ID

And the phone ADB interface had the following ID USBVID_04E8&PID_6860&adb

Which I added as above (if your phone doesnt match you would need to do this too I think). I then updated the driver for 'Samsung Android ADB Interface' using the 'Android Bootloader Interface' which I can now select from the Google SDK Driver.

Samsung Android Adb Interface Driver V2.9.510.0

Install 'Android Bootloader Interface' from google SDK.

I then was able to reinstall the 'Samsung Android ADB Interface' driver as before or the 'Android Composite ADB Interface' from the google SDK and ADB started working (as tested with ADB Devices, mine is now listed, woot!).

So i think the problem was mainly the lack of the Android Bootloader Interface driver, with the UART thing possibly having some effect?

However I did have adb working BEFORE i decided to re-root my phone (only discovered it stopped working when I couldn't use ADB Explorer however I am failry certain I had used it not 10 minutes before). So why it stopped working I haven't a clue. I am pretty certain nothing changed on my pc, so perhaps setting the uart mode back and forcing the drivers to reinstall was enough to fix it. However maybe adb no longer works for the standard samsung drivers and you need to install the drivers from the sdk too?
