ADB and Windows 7

[JkdJedi]

I copied this from another site. I take no CREDIT for this info.

Figured some people here might find it useful.

Ok, so after seeing how much trouble most people have with Windows 7 I decided to make this. I too found the previous instructions a little confusing, but I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and was able to install them. Trust me, that when I point out what you guys were doing wrong you're going to laugh too...lol

1. Download the attached .ZIP file and extract it somewhere you can find it (ie: C:\ADBDrivers_v3)
2. Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled (Menu>Settings>Applications>Development)
3. Plug USB cable into phone and put in USB Mass Storage Mode
4. Open up Device Manager (Located in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items)
5. Under Other Devices you should now see Motorola ADB Interface (Windows could not install the drivers for me)
6. Right-click and select Update Driver Software
7. Click on Browse my computer for driver software
8. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
9. Now this is the step where I'm sure most of you messed up on. Click on Show All Devices then Next. DO NOT CLICK ON ADB INTERFACE FROM THE LIST!
10. Click on Have Disk button
11. Click Browse button
12. Go to C:\ADBDrivers_v3\usb_driver\ then select android_winusb.inf and click the Open button
13. Click OK
14. Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click the Next button
15. Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning window

It should take a few seconds to install the driver. You'll get a window saying that you driver was successfully updated (click the Close button), and your phone should now show up at the top of the device list under Android Phone.

Nice Post but here is a post I placed on Verizons site a while back and thought you may like to read.. If user had a issue with a driver loading they can jump to last steps and driver will install without issues also..

1. Down load the Motorola 4.7.1 Driver with MotoConnect from USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola USA and install application by double clicking on downloaded exe. Drivers that phone installs with autorun install will work also..

2. Once the installation has completed you can go into your Control Panel/Programs and Features area and uninstall JUST the MotoConnect application from the list and leave the drivers installed.

This should install all drivers needed to the system without having the MotoConnect app installed and you should be able to access card without issues and copy any type of file you want to the sd card.


It appears that the main issue that cause the driver loading issue is a conflicting drive already installed at time the correct driver is loaded but the old driver wasnt being uninstall automatically, if you or any one run into this issue again the trick is to open the Motorola Driver Installer.exe that is in startmenu under Motorola folder and select the "CLEAN AND REINSTALL" option from app and select start and all old drivers will uninstall and the correct drivers will be loaded... I was able to duplicate the driver install issue twice and both times I was able to fix with these instructions..
