so maybe fastboot in recovery could be achieved with that kind of method? i'm going to buy sony s, then i try to help ;) btw someone said that the tablet is recognized with recovery but there were no drivers found? maybe the drivers for fastboot should be modified to install correctly?

--edit:
ordered. will get one tomorrow :)

I dont see the .android folder under
/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid/home
even I did ls -la
Waht is the path? Can someone give me the path? Thanks,

ok since path did not exist, i created .android directory and corresponding file. and added 0x54c. However still it is not recognized by "adb devices" command. any hint? Thanks,

Well I have followed the Window steps here and have got the driver to load ok but adb refuses to list the device in when I run "adb devices"? Any one any clues? I've uninstalled the driver and tried different USB ports, restarted the adb server... but no joy :-(

Working! I checked again and the adb_usb.ini file was missing the 0x54c entry!

Can't list the tab into "adb devices".
0x54c is in adb_usb.ini (In c:/Users/<name>/.android/

I'm not so sure if I did the android_winusb.inf thing right though, as Xotusblack mentioned something, and I can't really put my finger on where to place the >> ;.

I'd be glad to help for dev testing purposes though :]

I followed this guide, which seemed to work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17624941

Only difference is that instead of the Sony Tablet P and S directly, it's now supporting every device with a Tegra 2 CPU.
That, and I specifically pointed the failed driver to android_winusb.inf.

Other then that, awaiting a dev god

I can't install the driver on Windows 7 64-bit.
It wants 64-bit driver.

Windows7, Windows Vista and Windows XP -

Install the Google Android SDK and USB driver as described at the following Google Android SDK sites:
Installing the Google Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Google USB Driver - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Once the Google Android SDK and Google USB Driver are installed, open the android_winsub.inf file and copy the the following descriptions into the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections of the extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf file:
;SONY Sony Tablet P
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_04D2&MI_01
;SONY Sony Tablet S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4&MI_01

Work fine on my windows seven x64..!.

Please add 0x54c into .android/adb_usb.ini file under HOME directory by using following command from command prompt.

echo 0x54c >> %HOMEPATH%\.android\adb_usb.ini

This one has me baffled.I'm a noob with this stuff.I did the rest without any problems (I think) ,just not sure which way to insert this into the cmd prompt.My file is in C:\Users\Vinny\android.

Cheers Vinny

Yes in C:\Users\Vinny\.android folder should be a file:
adb_usb.ini
open this file or create if it not extsist as a text file and write
0x54c
ito the file. Save it
restart your pc and you should have adb.
