Pdanet, a tethering tool which allows you to connect your PC/laptop to internet using your Android smartphone, also specialises in something else: You can install the drivers for any Android device using the PC end of Pdanet. While most of the popular devices come with official drivers or are easily available on the internet, some of the cheper and less popular models, like the ones sold by local Indian manufacturers, don't have any official drivers, so it's really a pain to find drivers for them.
Pdanet comes to the rescue here. I have tried it with a plethora of devices :fingers-crossed:, and it installs drivers for all of them. I have written a full fledged guide, targeted especially at newbies, to help everyone install drivers for their device and proceed with rooting/ using ADB or fastboot. I have even included snapshots to help you get through the process swiftly.
THe process is quite easy. I'm posting a summary here:
Download and install pdanet on your pc. It is available here: http://www.junefabrics.com
During the installation process, select device manufacturer accordingly.
Attach the device to your pc using usb only when the setup asks you to do so.
That's it.
Don't forget to exit pdanet before trying to connect to adb etc.
Here is the guide: http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/how-to-install-drivers-for-any-android.html
These days, during the process of rooting, installing the drivers is one of the toughest steps for many, as one click root tools are available on xda, once drivers are installed successfully.
