[Tutorial] Adb Driver Android 1.0 Install

---

I thought i'd do this for all those (like me) who had issues installing the Adb driver on their system, causing them to have issues using the UnrEVOked progam to root their phones. These steps worked for me, if they are not strictly correct ill edit this post when someone corrects me, but, like I said, they worked for me after 2 weeks of trying!

Once you have booted into your HBOOT screen your system will try to install the Android 1.0 driver [Image 1] . This is the Adb Driver. If, like me, you have followed all the instructions elsewhere, downloading the SDK and installing that driver does not always work.

Right click on the Android 1.0 and go to Properties then Details

In the Drop Down list select Hardware Ids [Image 2]

you will see something along the lines of:

USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94&Rev_0100
USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94

Download the file attached below adb_driver_htc.zip

Unzip and open the file called android_winusb.inf

You are looking for any lines that say

; HTC Desire

The file is split into sections for various drivers.

The sections you need are:

[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
; HTC Desire
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94
;
;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

and

[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
; HTC Desire
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94
;
;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

Change the lines

; HTC Desire
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94

so that the USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94 part of the line matches the Hardware Ids part that we saw in [ Image 2 ]


Now.. I put this at the end of the file just for completeness. I'm not 100% sure if it is needed or not.

; HTC Desire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94&Rev_0100
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&Pid_0c94

Once you have done this you can now install the working driver.

Right Click again on the Android 1.0 Driver and click Update Driver...
Browse to the directory that you unzipped the drivers too, which also contains your edited .inf file. Device manager should now recognize your driver file and install it.

The Android 1.0 should now change to be Android Composite ADB Interface

If you see this...then it worked! [ Image 4 ]


The Attached zip file is my Edited file that works for me. so please change to suit your Hardware Ids.

Any questions let me know. I'll help where I can
