Are Android USB drivers interchangeable? - android

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.]

Android Studio doesn't see any phone

I have 2 computers, and both have Android Studio (I installed it yesterday), but only one of them sees my phone. ADB devices also doesn't see it. The developer mode is enabled, SDK is installed, google usb driver is installed, enabling PTP didn't help.
What can I do?
Xiaomi Redmi 4X
Windows 10
I assume that you are working on Windows. What had helped me once was to install Adb drivers from Intel website. You can follow this tutorial
what device are you using? it totally depends on what device you are using, different devices use different drivers to connect and communicate with your computer here is the official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) list of drivers:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb
If you are on a Windows machine here is a list of useful scripts that might also help:

Cheers and happy learning.
Download pdaNet software in pc install it and then try.
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Try this.
Also you may run task manager and kill adb.exe.
First check whether your phone is showing "Usb debugging connected" in notification bar? If it is upgraded to android 7.0, it will show an "N" in the notification bar with details as i mentioned earlier. This message means that your phone is in debugging mode. If its charging and not showing any such notification in bar, that means your data cable is the problem.Connecting phone in mtp will not help at all.
You can do a quick and dirty fix by pushing the port a little bit up with a toothpick or something (i tried and trust me it works). But that can cause a bit of damage. So I will recommend buying a new data cable. This is the only thing that comes to my mind as you mentioned that developer options are enabled and usb debugging is turned on in developer options right?

Adb interface drivers needed?

I am trying to add my Dell Venue 7 Tablet with Android to my PC for developing and I connected it and my Computer management tab, I got the following
Other Devices
ADB Interface( with question mark)
I tried to fix this problem updating Driver Software from Android SDK/ but, this one was not find. I went to the Dell drivers and I could not find it either.
I read that the Clockworkmod drivers Version 7.0.0.4 date 8/27/2012 would work well with my mobile device.
For it, Could anybody help me to find the correct drivers for this tablet?
Thanks in advance

Here placed a similar question: Debugging Android Apps on Dell Venue 7 using Eclipse
And it looks like first comment contain instructions to make it work. I never faced such kind of a problem, so I cant say if that instuction really help, but I hope it will work for you.
maybe you should install the adb driver from http://adbdriver.com/downloads/.
My android mobile phone works well now after installing this one.

How does Android integrate hardware drivers provided by the phone manufacturer?

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

List of phones that will work with Eclipse?

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.

Can't get Google USB driver to load

After getting my app to work in the emulator, I now want to test it on my Samsung Exhibit II Android phone. I follow the instructions from google here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html but can't get their USB driver to load.
When I plug the phone into the computer via the supplied USB data cable, Vista auto installs it's own driver and doesn't give me a chance to point to the google driver located here: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf.
When I go to the device manager and right-click on the Vista driver and try to Update Driver Software to point to the Google driver, it says it already has the best one and won't change it! (even though it doesn't work, ie. no drive label appears for the phone plus the device manager shows an ! for it)
I've spent many hours reading dozens of posts with similar problems but no solutions work for me. Any ideas?
Install Samsung Kies software to get the required drivers.
You can download it from this Link.
Google USB driver will not be useful for Samsung mobiles.
EDIT: updated the link above.
I think its because samsung is using its own usb driver. you should go to samsung's website and search for your mobile phone model (or just google with the model name +usb driver) and use that should do the job
