Windows problem installation

[mbaroukh]

First, follow installation instuctions.
Then, if on Windows you have a problem because Windows installed the
driver by himself wihout using the one ou downloaded, try to follow
this :

- plug the phone
- select mount on the phone
- wait 20 seconds then select "turn off usb device" on the phone
- then go to My computer, Right click on properties and go to hardware
then device manager.
- The yellow warning should be up with android phone displayed. Right
click on it and select Update driver. Install the downloaded driver.
(Look at Vista installation from step 3.2 ...)

Finally, come back here and tell us if it works.
If you followed another way, tell us too.

Hi mike,

I cannot see the yellow warning (on windows xp),
I try to actualize the controller, but system respond me
"La ubicacion esecificada no contiene informacion acerca del
hardware."

Thanks,
Ferran

Could you tell us how it appears in your Device Manager" ?

Same as otisburg.com:

"In the device manager the phone actually shows up in 2 different
upmenus/roots?:
once in "Disk Drives" as:  "HTC Android Phone USB Device"
once in "Portable Devices" as:  "Android Phone"

[Caleb Boucher]

Yes, that is correct.  When unmounting or "safely removing hardware"  to unplug the phone from the USB port they will then disappear.

I attached jpegs of when it is plugged and when it is not.

I am experiencing major fail when trying to install the 32-bit driver
on Windows XP Pro 32-bit. It copies the androidusb.sys and gets to the
end of wdfcoinstaller01005.dll then it tells me there is a problem
installing this hardware.

I have used the 64-bit package with Windows XP Pro x64 and it
installed just fine.

My work laptop is 32-bit, and I am following the same instructions
that I did for the 64-bit version, and it fails. I'm lost. Don't know
What is happening.

Now I'm getting an entry in the Device Manager listed as "USB
Composite Device" under USB Controllers. There is also a USB Mass
Storage Device there as well. I'm assuming that is related to the /
sdcard on the phone. In the "Other Devices" section, "Android Phone"
shows up with a yellow !. If I right-click, update driver, install
specific driver (advanced), select d:\proxoid-adb\usb_driver\x86, ok,
next, it copies 2 files then says there's a problem installing this
hardware.

Is it possible there's some sort of blocking in Windows XP Service
Pack 3?

Good job Mike!
Simply I uninstall with USBDeview the device "Android Phone", unplug and plug the pohne from laptop and then the system ask me to install the drivers like Poxoid's install instructions say's. Now laptop is connected!

Thanks a lot!

I'm getting a new and interesting error.

* Found New Hardware Wizard pops up when I connect the phone.
then
* Windows - No Disk (dialog box pops up)
err: Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameter 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c
opts: [Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]

Clicking on each button keeps the same dialog box coming up until I
unplug the phone from the laptop.

They all speak about viruses ...

I've used Norton (web), McAfee (web), AVG and Avast and scanned this
work laptop. None are reporting any threats of any kind. That rules
out virus.

I'm thinking I may have to download the whole Android SDK and get a
fresh driver from it, or attempt to compile it myself and see what
happens.

I don't get why the 64-bit driver worked on WinXP Pro x64 without a
hitch, but the 32-bit driver on WinXP Pro x86 is throwing all these
errors.

I've even tried running this on Debian Linux, works flawlessly!

To rule out possibility of a bad download, I've downloaded the 32-bit
version from your page on 3 different computers residing on 3
different networks (Boeing, Kent WA (city wifi), and home (Comcast)).
File sizes and everything match the source you provide.

www.baroukh.com/proxoid/proxoid-adb.zip

I've also used the driver file download that Proxoid pulls down to the
sdcard on the phone. I'm assuming it's the same file as the one listed
above.

I don't get it.

Hi All,

Just want to provide a little glimpse of hope for all people who still
can't install: its possible to get this sorted!

Prior to the instructions you MUST stop your anti virus, firewall and
anything that may stop drivers being installed in your system. My PC
never even gave me an error message, nothing, it just wouldn't
entertain it. So, follow this step and stop anything that may
interfere with driver installation.
As an example, on my PC, Trend Antivirus has a seperate module (Trend
Micro unauthorised change prevention system). I had to stop this
service (you can do it via Windows Computer Management > Services,
however if you run msconfig its easier later on!) and re-booting
before I could proceed.
After successful instalation, in order not to let your system be at
risk, re-anable whatever you disabled - this is where going via
msconfig is advantageous as you can simply run it again, select normal
startup and re-start.

Now for the instructions:

-----------------------------------------
Follow advice on http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2676
(Which had been cited from http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-05/msg03049.html):
1- Remove existing drivers:
1a- Plug your phone
1b- Open the Device Manager
1c- Remove any driver for [ADB Interface > HTC Composite ADB
Interface] and [Disk Drives > HTC Android Phone USB Device] if you see
them
1d- Unplug phone

2- Edit the registry
2a- Disclaimer: be careful what you do in regedit. If you're not sure,
don't use it :-)
2b- Open the Registry Editor (Start > search/run > regedit)
2c- You _may_ need to be administrator to do that
2d- Search for "vid_0bb4&pid_0c02" in keys or values. It makes take a
while. If you find in a value, delete the whole key folder.
2e- Some keys might be "locked": right-click them and add "everyone:
full control" to the permissions. Then delete the key folder.
2f- Repeat the search till no more instances are found.
2g- Close regedit.

Now restart your computer with the phone unplugged.

3- Before your plug in your phone:
3a- Make sure to enable Home > Settings > Applications > Development >
USB debugging on your G1 or HTC Magic
3b- Plug the phone in. Windows should now ask you for a driver
3c- Do NOT selected to search the Windows Update. Instead select "I
will choose a driver" or the equivalent.

Ipedros: (Don't let windows search, even the Search and include a
given location! In windows you will need to skip searching a couple of
times, until it gets a stage where windows wizzard asks you for the
driver's disk)

3d- Make sure to give the *full* path to the x86 or x86_64 driver,
e.g:
SDK/usb_driver/x86/
or SDK/usb_driver/x86_64/
If you just select "SDK/usb_driver", Windows might take the wrong
architecture and complain the driver can't be installed.

-----------------------------

Hope this helps people out there, especially in view that you need
this to install the new firmware for the HTC Hero coming soon (which
is already available for the danish).

Regards
Pedro
