Hi. Been trying for many many hours to get adb working. No success. Your app said correct drivers where installed but still nothing on adb showing.
what did it in the end was to install a new version of the sdk. I had an old version from a year ago. You may want to add this in your app. Thanks!

Did you try "Just do it"?  This should automatically install the latest drivers.

When you selected USB debugging, did you turn USB storage on? If so, don't!

No. USB debugging only. Just will not recognise ADB on my device.

[simonta]

And you're not in USB host mode?

Fly up to first page again. This needs to be sticky!

Paul, please change your policy regarding stickies!

Morning all.  I've added an update which adds support for XP and 64 bit Windows.

The indicator which shows what mode you are in and what drivers are loaded is sometimes misbehaving so if you want to install the drivers, just go ahead if it's lying to you.

I will fix this but won't release the fix in this thread.  I'm in discussion with another developer about handing my code over for AUDI to have a new home.  It should be an exciting announcement.  Reason is I simply can't give this the time it deserves but still want to meet the goal of helping noobs and attempt to eliminate the "can't get the drivers working" threads.

Cheers...

Simon

Reboot both your Vega and the PC.  Do a proper reboot on the Vega, not just a quick power off which just puts it into standby.

A pleasure.  Glad it worked for you.

hello done what you said rebooted both but it is still doing the same any thing else i can do thanks

I've seen this before and it's a pain.  Some flakiness in ADB I haven't been able to figure out.

1.  Do you have antivirus and/or other rmalware scanners?  Try turning them off.
2.  Run these commands

    adb kill-server
    adb kill-server
  
    <open task manager and kill adb.exe (or adb-windows.exe)>

    adb start-server

2.  Do you know what the Android SDK is?  If so, make sure you are using the Modaco drivers and not the SDK ones.
3.  Please send a screenie of your device manager showing the ADB driver.  It's at the top, Android Phone, click to open then screenshot.

BTW, if you don't log on to XP as an adminstrator, a: congratulations, you're one of the few b: log on as administrator and try again.

Hi Simon,

I appriciate your work and effort, but my laptop does'nt as the things just dont apear on the screen, or  it works better for me seeing some one doing it rather then reading it. I hope that day in june gets of the ground as i see that more beneficial.
cheers,
Jeff

No.  

If you can wait a few days, I'll be putting up a new version which creates a log file, that should be able to let me figure out remotely what's going on.  If you can't wait, then run AUDI and click delete all Vega drivers.  Then click install correct driver.

Alternatively, I could remote connect to your PC and do it for you if you want me to.

[buff69]

That would be great but i have borrowed me mums laptop and going to give it a go if i have no luck then yes please connect to my laptop and perhaps you can see whats going on i will let you know    thanks
