questions about install adb drive on windows

[Ky1e.YC]

I was reading some instruction from htcevohacks.com. Since i didn't decide to root or not yet, i just want to install those sdk and driver on my pc. sdk part is easy, and i installed it successfully. But adb driver part is tricky.

I followed instruction, turn on "USB debugging" in the settings, and reboot phone into recovery mode, plugged usb cable. However, the device manager of windows 7 didn't find any adb devices, then i tried refresh, still no lucky at all. what should I do to find adb device then update driver? or i have to root first b4 installing adb driver?

did I make my questions clear?

my problem right now is there is no "other device" -> "adb device" with question marks in the device manager, when i plug phone, which is under recovery mode, by usb cable. w/o that, i guess i cannot install drivers or update drivers for adb device, right?

just learned something. I did install HTC Sync(the latest version) on my pc. and i tried command "adb device", I had serial no list on my screen. does that mean my driver has been successfully installed?

Unless your phone is attached to your PC, you won't get a device serial when running "adb device". You have to have HTC Sync installed and the device recognized by windows. adb device is just confirming that your phone is attached to the pc and that the HTC toolset is properly functioning.

is there any way I can tell if the adb driver has been installed in my pc successfully?

are you doing something along these lines?


C:\Android_DEV\sdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05KHL***** device


C:\Android_DEV\sdk\tools>

If so then yes your ADB software and drivers are setup correctly.
