Manually install Google USB drivers

Question

My SDK and AVD manager is unable to access the Google USB drivers. I believe this is a firewall issue and a proxy could work, however, I would like to avoid this route if possible.

Is there a way I can manually download and install the Google USB driver pacakage?

Solution 1

1. Locate android_winusb.inf file and open it for editing.

2. Add below [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] following lines (same under both):

   %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
   %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&MI_01
   

Important: Replace VID_2207 and PID_0010 with numbers from device information. Open Device Manager, right-click on your device and click on Properties, then Details. Check several properties from the dropdown box to find out your VID and PID.

Solution 2

If the driver doesn't work for you, follow these instructions:

1. Using the "SDK Manager" that came with the Andriod SDK, you can download the Google USB Driver package.
2. Open the file "android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\andriod_winusb.inf" in note pad or some other text editor.
3. Find the line that reads "[Google.NTx86]"

4. Add the following 2 lines right under "[Google.NTx86]"

   %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED
   %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED&MI_01
   

5. Find the line that reads "[Google.NTamd64]"

6. Add the following 2 lines right under [Google.NTamd64]

   %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED
   %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED&MI_01
   

7. Turn USB debugging on in tablet

8. Connect the tablet
9. Point to inf file

I feel this question belongs more over here: android.stackexchange.com

These instructions would work only for a device with those specific USB IDs. As @Duke's answer says, you should look on Device Manager for your device specific IDs and replace them in the example above.
