Getting right drivers for Pulse installed

[Guest Nick Elks]

I am going round in circles here. Hope someone can guide me EXACTLY what to do.

I have a Pulse phone and want to connect it to my PC (Vista) and use ADB (and subsequently Eclipse)

I can connect with the usb cable and read the SD card without any problem.

I have downloaded and installed the SDK

I have downloaded and installed Eclipse

I have edited /.android/adb_usb.ini and added a line 0x12d1

I have put the phone in debug mode (settings/applications/development/USB debugging)

I have connected the phone to the PC with the usb cable

When connected, the phone notifies me ' USB connected : Select to copy files to/from your computer'

I have clicked on the notification and then selected 'Mount' when prompted (I have also tried this without mounting)

I cannot get ADB or Eclipse to recognise that the phone is connected.

I have gone into Device Manager, and under 'Other Devices' it lists four instances of 'T-Mobile 3G Phone'

Each instance has an icon with an exclamation mark

I click on the icon to see the properties. Under Device Status it says:

---The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

---There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.

---To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

I click on the Reinstall button and tell it to search my entire C: drive for drivers

It comes back : Windows could not find driver software for your device

I tried again, pointing it this time to the T-Mobile CD that came with the phone

Same error message.

Please help me out - specifically, what file is the correct driver file and where can I locate it?

(and do I need to tell the phone to mount the SD card?)

The drivers are in the PC Suite directory (not on the cd but in the directory where you installed it).

That means install the PC Suite, if you haven't already, and let windows search for drivers there.

I have a similar problem but I have all my drivers installed correctly referring to (Eclipse Europa) I use a G1 and that connects ok I’m able to pull and push most files, but with my Pulse I can connect and it shows up in the Device tab but not in the File Explorer tab so I’m not able to pull or push any files, so I’m assuming when you get your drivers working you might experience the same thing.

Is there a fix for this anyone? Id like to know too.

Thanks.

Thanks BigBearMDC, I had not previously installed PC Suite because I heard it was cr#p.

Didn't realise I needed to, to get all the correct drivers. And none of the noob guides say to do so!

for all noobs:

The ADB driver it installed is the google one c:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\androidusb.sys

ADB interface also uses C:\Windows\system32\wdfcoinstaller010015.dll

After installing PC Suite, I put the phone in debug mode (settings/applications/development/USB debugging)

Then connected the usb cable from phone to PC

Opened up a dosbox (cmd.exe) and typed in adb devices

It listed my phone as: ? device

I typed in adb shell and I had a shell into the phone.

EXCELLENT

Don't forget you are now in a linux system, so linux commands are required in the shell

When done, type exit in the shell to return to the dosbox

And now I can use the phone as a modem using DialUp as well

If only someone had mentioned before to install the PC Suite first!
