ADB + Samsung Galaxy

Question

Has anyone been successful with hooking up a Samsung Galaxy with ADB running on Win XP Pro SP3? Links to already existing threads or tutorials related to this would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Install Samsung New PC Studio that comes with the CD. It includes Windows drivers

2. Make sure that in your phone settings:
   "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging" is checked
   "Settings > About phone > Additional Settings > Mass store" is NOT checked

3. In android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf add the following lines under [Google.NTx86] if you're using a 32-bit operating system. Otherwise add them under [Google.NTamd64] if you have a 64-bit operating system:

   ; Samsung galaxy
   %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_00
   %SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_04

4. Connect your phone, in device manager you should see an Unknown device. Right click and say update driver, select android-sdk-windows/usb_driver directory. Android Bootloader Interface will be installed.

5. If your device isn't listed when you say adb devices in command prompt, type adb kill-server

(For the following steps, I assume that you are using Google Android SDK 1.5 R3 or above)

In order to get your Windows XP recognize the Samsung Galaxy Android phone so you can develop on device , you have to do the following:

refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

Add the following to your android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf:

under [Google.NTx86] add:

; Samsung galaxy
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_00 
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_04

under [Google.NTamd64] add:

; Samsung galaxy
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_00 
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640&MI_04
