I'm new to Android. I heard that the drivers are provided by the phone manufacturer. So I'm wondering whether the system.img I compiled from the Android source code includes the drivers or not. If it does not, where are the drivers? Is it possible that I re-flash the drivers?
Thanks!
You may have to install the drivers on your own for some devices if you are on a PC. You can go to that phone manufacturer's website and they have a download link. Mac seems a little better in finding the device drivers

I have a samsung tablet model number GT-P5110 and i need to download the OEM USB drivers as i can't test out my apps that i have created on android studio, can someone please provide me a link of where i should download these drivers. Your help and comments will be much appriciated.
Which platform are you developing from, windows, Linux or mac OS? Samsung drivers are usually generic, not for a specific model. Samsung Kies normally works well on windows and Mac. On Linux, you don't need drivers. I had issues with my Gt-5100 playing nicely with USB 3 and USB2 on both windows and Linux. My SM-P901 played well on USB3 and USB2 on windows, but, it only played nice with USB2 on Linux. Meaning, playing with adb.
There are two drivers when your connect samsung tablet to computer. One is USB driver, and one is tablet driver. You can try to download a drivers download software from Cnet and helps you scan your computer. It will recommend you the right driver.
I want to run my own android application and sample application on my android intex x1 phone android version 2.3 a low budget phone. I connect my phone with laptop it said driver failed may be my mobile drivers.
But I have other drivers like tethering and storage(because my phone is connected).
can any one tell me what drivers i need. i don't know what are OEM drivers 0r ADB drivers.
i am finding the solution from last two days. but could not downloaded\find any working drivers. I am using window 7 and on eclipse AVD if working normally. I getting solutions like how to root your mobile etc.
I want to run application on my android phone. Please direct me some steps. I think their are no drivers available.
Is their any other solution like universal ADB drivers or like that.
Is http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4150.exe a solution in my case?
use universal drivers that connect to any device. download your drivers from intexmobile.in.
or use software like mobogenie or pdanet+.
I need an android phone to test my apps with that will work with Eclipse. It has to be low cost, run Gingerbread with modest memory and CPU.
Thinking that any android phone would work I recently purchased a Virgin Mobil Chaser but as it turns out, it cannot be seen by either Eclipse or adb (but device manager does see the phone). Another developer has also had the same identical problem with the Chaser.
I could keep buying phones and see if they work but that could be long and frustrating. I hope to find a "no contract" phone.
Is there any list of phones that work with Eclipse. Does anyone know of any other Virgin Mobil phones that will work?
thanks, Gary
Any android phone should work. And it is not Eclipse you need it to be compatible with. You need ADB drivers for the device so ADT tools can communicate with device. So what you need is to install ADB drivers for your phone and then, once installed, you should be able to see your device once you enable USB debugging on the device. Then ADB should be able to see it (either in Eclipse plugin or via command line adb devices).
EDIT if you are on Windows, then enabling USB Debugging on the device and connecting it to the computer should result in Windows asking for ADB drivers. You may try if "stock" (these available with SDK in <SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver) are suitable. If not, check manufacturer website (for HTC you may need to install HTC Sync) and if this fail, just google for your device name along with "ADB drivers" and you should get something usable shortly.
One correct answer to my question is: the LG Optimus Elite works fine as a test phone. Drivers installed immediately. Also, it's less than $100 with no contract.
I still haven't found anyone who has gotten the PCD Chaser to work.

i'm a beginner programmer, and i'm trying to start coding with android. I already set up my IDE(Eclipse), the SDK and all that, but I can't find a driver for my device. It's a Kocaso tablet, model M760. My question is, is the hardware on some tablets similar enough for the drivers to be interchangeable or no? Oh, and if someone knows where i can find a USB driver for that tablet, please give me a link? I promise I already searched on a lot of places ):
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right site, I though it would be better than android power users :(
you can root the tablet using these instructions;

hopefully that will help you progress your work.
In my experience the drivers are fairly generic, and therefore interchangeable. There is a USB driver in the SDK that will suit most needs, but there is a gotcha. You have to install it in the SDK, and then go in to the android SDK folder to install it in Windows.
I had a similar problem with my tablet. After some research, I found the company that produces your tablet is Global Phoenix Computer Technologies Solutions. The website for their mid-size tablets (yours) is http://www.mymidpad.com. I found the User Manual for your tablet there under Downloads, but nothing else. Here is their contact information: http://mymidpad.com/contactus.html. Send off an email or give them a call, and hopefully they can help you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Edit: I doubt the Google USB drivers will work for you. They didn't for my Archos tablet. This website lists the short list of supported devices, mainly big names. Your device is definitely not one of these big names, so you'll probably need drivers from GPCTS directly.
On my M752, I was able to force it to use the "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" from Motorola, v 1.2.14.0 dated 11/25/2012. That seems to work OK so far for USB device ID = USB\VID_18D1&PID_0007&REV_0230&MI_01
That's a Google USB Vendor ID, so I was surprised to NOT find a match for the USB device ID in the latest Google USB drivers package [Android SDK Manager tool, extras, Google USB Driver revision 7.]
For lots of OEM drivers, see the page at:

Picked up my S3 on launch and want to get started learning to develop for android using Eclipse. So far I'm having fun!
However, I want to be able to debug my application on the phone hardware itself and not just in an AVD. My problem is that I cannot find appropriate USB device drivers. The Samsung support site is garbage and windows update told me 'where to go'.
Has anyone got this working yet? If so, how?
For those still looking, you don't need to install the bloat. Go to:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I535RWBVZW
Click on or scroll to "Manuals & Downloads" and then USB (Driver) is available under "Downloads".
Direct download link: Samsung USB Driver - 1.5.45.00
Turns out you have to install Samsung Kies to get the USB driver. Similar to the iPhone. I wanted to avoid this unnecessary bloat (i plugged my phone in and it threw a WPF exception...) and thankfully you can uninstall Kies without uninstalling the driver. Result.
After that, ADB is able to see the phone with no problem at all and I can debug on the device perfectly.
you need the usb driver for it. Once you have that installed simply connect the phone via usb to your machine, start eclipse and adb will pick up the device given that the drivers installed properly. try this link, one of these will probably have the driver. Samsung Galaxy S3 downloads
Can be downloaded on the following link

There's no need for KIES or other bloat!!
There's a very useful toolkit that does much more then kies, and it's available here:
