Install Android USB drivers windows 7 64/32-bit

I am now happy doing some cool Android development and doing it on the MAC is amazingly simple, just connect the device to the USB port and enable USB debugging by doing the following on your device:

  • Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging

The problem, as with the majority of things, is windows #fail.  To get your Android phone to work on windows 7 so you can debug it and install apps is a pain in the buttocks.  Anyways, after much loosing time and hair, the easiest solution was to use PDANet.  So just download PDANet and follow the instructions, it really solves all the nasty issues in Windows 7 to get the pesky USB drivers to work and as an added bonus, you can use it to tether your phone!

Cheers from Android Land!

Hm, out of curiousity, which problems? I simply installed the SDK, connected my Desire, and it worked right away on my Windows 7 x64. Same with tethering, though now with Froyo I use the built in wifi access point instead.

Hi Tomas, I did not get the same luxury of just plugging my device and windows 7 installing it and being able to use it. I have an HTC Aria and once connected it just installed the mass storage device but left the ADB device with a yellow marker. After trying and trying to manually update the driver to the SDK's usb drivers, the update would not work.

I then tried to do it via PDANet's driver installation and it worked. Go figure, it might be the HTC phone itself.

After scouring forums to figure out how to get Windows in my VMware to correctly install the drivers, PDAnet worked beautifully. I just uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync, and for whatever reason, it picked up everything beautifully as if there were never an issue... Silly Aria.

Thanks for this post, it saved me some trouble.

HTC and Samsung

I switched from developing on a Mac to Windows 7 64 bit and this solution worked for my Samsung Intercept and HTC Incredible. I first used it to install the HTC driver, but then it wouldn't recognize Samsung. I let it uninstall the first driver, then I installed for Samsung, and not they both are recognized. Only solution to the Android USB driver problem that has worked for me

Not working for me ... tested with HTC Desire HD

alonph

It worked man! Thanks. :)

Patric Jonsson

Thanks! But seriously, the step "Installing PdaNet to you phone..." takes like forever, currently about 10 minutes. Can anyone confirm this or is it just me?

PDAnet worked when I first installed it and then later stopped working with my Samsung and despite 2 reinstalls on phone, it will not tether
