These are the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM Windows Vista 32-bit drivers for those of you who are having trouble installing the drivers. I have only noticed this problem on Windows Vista, and therefore I have created this thread.
I have only tested the below procedure on Windows Vista 32-bit.
Please note that I am not responsible for any damages caused to your windows system as a result of wrongly in putting the codes below.
Also note that following the installation of the drivers by this method may result in Test Mode being displayed on your desktop wallpaper.
Let’s get started:
1) Download, extract and place the Qualcomm folder on your desktop.
Installing the certificate:
2) Double click on “qcusbtest.cer” and open it.
3) Click on “Install Certificate.”
4) Select “Place certificate in the following stores”
5) Place the certificate in “Trusted Root Certification Authorities.”
6) Click Next, then Finish.
7) Follow steps 2 to 4
8) Place the certificate in “Trusted Publishers”
9) Click Next, then Finish.
10) Run Command Prompt as administrator (Start>Type “Command Prompt”>Right-click on command prompt and select “Run as administrator”)
In the below steps replace the red [insert] boxes with the relevant configurations of your system.
Next:
11) On command prompt type:
Code:
cd C:\Users\[COLOR="Red"][Insert Your Windows Username Here][/COLOR]\Desktop\Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM\Drivers
12) Then type:

How to install Qualcomm Drivers for people who are having trouble installing the drivers.
Just explain that you mean the PC drivers. Some might get confused and think you mean Qualcomm bootloaders in the phone.

looks like you need x64 drivers...
Worked on x64 Windows 7. Thanks very much for this
hasn't worked for me, still shows up as drivers not installed in Device Manager. When I point towards the files it doesn't accept them or if I do a computer/internet search. Just says driver cannot be found.
Any ideas?

does your phone come up as a flash disc in restore mode if it doesnt then you dont have a unlocked bootloader regardless if its a qualcomm, there were 2 versions from what i can gather one allows nand access and one doesnt sounds like you have the one that does not

Windows 7 Sideload Instructions
Hope this helps some people - I tried to be very step-by-step about it.
Again, thank you Pokey9000, the guys and gals from the IRC channel, and everybody else for all of your hard work! 99.9% of this is an aggregation of what is already in this thread; some of it comes from nookdevs also.
You will need the following applications on your Windows 7 computer:
- cygwin (www dot cygwin dot com)
- Android Debug Bridge (ADB) - this comes with the android SDK
- Android USB Drivers - this comes with the android SDK
-- (WOQ) stands for without quotes, it means that I am giving you something between quotes to copy and paste.
-- if you see <some_odd_name> inside quotes, it means you MUST replace this with something from your specific OS instance (e.g. a drive letter, or something)
1. make sure your NC is disconnected from you computer
2. make sure your SD card is mounted on your computer (readable/browsable in explorer)
3. Install cygwin - you only need the base install AFAICT (YMMV), don't worry about the options for now.
4. download nooter at http //www dot mediafire dot com/?hugt8uxcfffpdvg
5. extract the contents to a folder in your cygwin install (standard install path is c:\cygwin)
6. Go to: Start, type in (WOQ) "compmgmt.msc" - this may require UAC elevation
7. Select "Disk Management" under storage
8. note the drive letter of the SD card and the disk number
9. Go To: Start > All Programs > Cygwin > Cygwin Bash Shell
10. At the prompt, type (WOQ): "mount //./<f>: /dev/sd<c>"
Where <f> is your drive letter, and
<c> is the letter you would get if you zero-indexed the disk number into the alphabet (i.e. 0 = a, 1 = b) **
11. press enter - there should be no output
12. at the prompt, type (WOQ): "dd if=<path_to_nooter_from_cygwin_install_folder>/nooter_sdcard_40MB.img of=/dev/sd<c>"
It will sit at this for a few minutes seeming to do nothing, be patient; you should get a response eventually that looks like:
80326+0 records in
80326+0 records out
41126912 bytes (41 MB) copied, 174.525 s, 236 kB/s
13. remove the sd card from the computer and plug it into the NC
14. power down the NC (hold power button for 15 seconds)
15. connect the NC to the computer
16. Wait for a "Composite Device" to be recognized by Windows and fail to install drivers
17. Wait for 15 seconds after the recognition
18. power down the NC
19. remove SD card ***
20. Find your android_winusb.inf file - this is located in your android-sdk install directory in the usb_driver folder. (NOTE: if you installed this in the program files folder, you will need to UAC elevate your editor to edit this file)
21. Paste the following lines into the file below both occurrences of the line ";Moto Sholes" after the ADBInterface definitions:
;B & N Nook Color
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&MI_01
22. save the file and close
23. find your adb_usb.ini file - it is usually located in c:\users\<username>\.android\
24. add (WOQ) "0x2080" on its own line
25. power on NC - at this point, the NC should boot normally, but ADB won't be able to recognize it
26. Go To: Start > Devices and Printers
27. Right-click on Nook and select properties
28. Select the hardware tab
29. If you have something that says "Nook" and has a yellow yield sign with a "!", then continue, if not skip to 38
30. Click on "Nook"
31. Select Properties
32. Click Change Settings (may require UAC elevation)
33. Click update driver
34. Select "browse for driver software on your computer"
35. Browse to the android-sdk/usb_driver folder
36. click next
37. You should be done; skip to 47 (I have no idea if this is correct - i pieced it together from somewhere in this as I did not get Nook to appear in the Device Functions List)
38. If you don't have a "Nook" Device Function, click on "USB Mass Storage Device"
39. Select Properties
40. Click Change Settings (may require UAC elevation)
41. Select the Driver Tab
42. Click Uninstall
43. Click OK
44. Disconnect NC
45. Reconnect NC
46. You should be done (this is different from my previous instructions on how to uninstall the NC USB drivers, I have not tested it so YMMV)
47. Go To: start > run > cmd
48. type (WOQ): "cd <path_to_android_sdk>\tools"
49. type (WOQ): "adb.exe kill-server"
You should get something like:
* server not running *
50. type (WOQ): "adb.exe remount"
You should get something like:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
remount failed: No such file or directory
51. You are done configuring to sideload
From here you should be able to sideload from ADB.

Just to throw it out there...
Does this cause a PERMANENT change to the Color Nook?
Edit: thank you for posting this
I believe it was mentioned in a previous post that if you did a factory reset (power off completely, then hold power, nook button and vol up) that it would reset the Nook back to non rooted factory defaults. Can anyone else confirm this?

Are these instructions for Win 7 64 or 32 bit?
BTW, how does one go back or to menu without those buttons?

believe this was done on win 64, some buttons are located in or below menu bar, some will depend on launcher.
I also wanted to mention this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9517050&postcount=863
NOTE: I have not even opened my nook box yet, its still sealed but I am getting ready. Just waiting on an email solution.
Do you think a partitioned SD card woul dprevent this from working?
I'm pretty sure my card is partitioned....I read something in the BIG THREAD about departitioning a card.....
I can't get this to work for me and I just thought my card might be the culprit.
Thanks
I cannot find the file listed in step 23. This is the only thing keeping me from root. Also when I plug my nc in, the light on the cord is amber instead of green. It tells me that adb drivers are installed. But it won't show up as a folder in my computer any more. How do I add files without removing the SD card and plugging it into my computer.

I did this on 32 bit - AFAIK, they don't support cygwin on 64 bit yet (it might run though, but YMMV).
The back and menu buttons are soft-buttons. The nook for some reason hides them by default in a bunch of apps.

It could be hidden (so you'll have to change the hidden files and folders setting), or installed in another user directory (like Admin).
If I run Windows XP, how many of these steps would change? I'm thinking it might need its own thread.

plus 1 for XP
So once your rooted, do you need to do anything special to install apk files that you download from dropbox? Is superuser ready?
i cant find the android_winusb file in the windows XP version of the android SDK. is there a different one that does the same?
EDIT: it appears the sdk is not split between versions of windows
im going to reinstall the sdk and see maybe if i accidently deleted it at some point

Very little changes; the only thing I can tell you off the top of my head is that
C:\users\<username>\.android\
Becomes
C:\documents and settings\<username>\.android\
Also, I don't know where, besides device manager, that you could locate the nook like you do in devices and printers - it may show up in my computer, also in scanners and cameras in the control panel - you can always right click a drive, select properties, select the hardware tab, select the b&n storage device, click properties, select the driver tab and uninstall from there....
HTH
EDIT: To delete the NC through device manager:
start > run > compmgmt.msc
browse to Device Manager
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Select USB Mass Storage Device (there may be multiple)
Right-Click and select "properties"
select the details tab
in the dropdown, select "Hardware Ids" - if this says "USB\VID_2080&...." then this is the NC
click ok
right Click again and select uninstall
disconnect NC from computer
reconnect NC to computer
NC re-finds all drivers, including ADB
start > run > cmd
cd <android-sdk-dir>\tools
adb.exe remount
Fixed instructions!
that's what I get for writing this crap at 1 in the AM ... I left out two INSANELY important steps at step 11.

im going insane, ive completely updated the SDK but i cant find this damn android_winusb file
When you updated the SDK, did you install the USB drivers also? If you did, that file should be in whatever directory you installed the SDK in under the usb_driver subdirectory.

I'm an idiot, I was certain the USB Drivers were installed. Done and done now, sheesh what a waste of time!
now to hunt for adb_usb which is being a pain to find too. Has anyone found adb_usb on XP?
I can see the folder C:\documents and settings\<username>\.android\ but theres two folders in there for AVD and AndroidDesktopNotifier. Maybe if someone can upload the adb_usb file I can just throw it in the folder and cross my fingers?
my phone was not rooted and i wanted the new gb official build so i installed it and now i want t go back to froyo how do you do this on a mac
Even though its a Mac cant you run things in a Dos like mode with c:\ prompt?
Even though its a Mac cant you run things in a Dos like mode with c:\ prompt?
Google came up with this
I looked FOREVER for these instructions. While I didn't write them, they definitely worked for me:
- Download the Android SDK for Macintosh at: Android SDK | Android Developers
- Extract it
- Download Fastboot for OSX (If not included with SDK)
- Extract fastboot and place it in your /tools folder.
- Open up a terminal window
- type: pico .bash_profile (this will create a .bash_profile)
- type the following in the new screen: export PATH=$
{PATH}:<sdkfolder>/tools
- Hit CNTRL + X
- Hit Y (for yes to save)
- It will return you to the terminal screen… type: exit
- Restart terminal.
- Then you can use your adb commands like you would on a PC. To test this, plug your device in (make sure its in debugging mode), then type "adb devices" in the new terminal window. It should show up with a number. This means you are good to go.

A better statement is he can run things like you would on linux, because osx has a bash terminal built in. Type "terminal" into finder. Sadly, most osx people have no clue that exists, which is sad because it's not a hackjob like cmd.exe.
ok i got all the way to the last step and the terminal window keeps saying: -bash: adb: command not found and -bash: sdkfolder: No such file or directory

Even though its a Mac cant you run things in a Dos like mode with c:\ prompt?
Google came up with this
I looked FOREVER for these instructions. While I didn't write them, they definitely worked for me:
- Download the Android SDK for Macintosh at: Android SDK | Android Developers
- Extract it
- Download Fastboot for OSX (If not included with SDK)
- Extract fastboot and place it in your /tools folder.
- Open up a terminal window
- type: pico .bash_profile (this will create a .bash_profile)
- type the following in the new screen: export PATH=$
{PATH}:<sdkfolder>/tools
- Hit CNTRL + X
- Hit Y (for yes to save)
- It will return you to the terminal screen… type: exit
- Restart terminal.
- Then you can use your adb commands like you would on a PC. To test this, plug your device in (make sure its in debugging mode), then type "adb devices" in the new terminal window. It should show up with a number. This means you are good to go.

Has anybody got a Sony Tablet S being recognised by adb?
It seems to be blocked :-(
And yes, I have done all the usual enable USB debugging etc...
I can not use it for development :-(

Managed to sort it myself
you need to cd to your .android folder (on a mac, this is ~/.android) and then type
echo 0x054c > adb_usb.ini
Where 0x054c is the vendor id for Sony (I got that by looking at the attached evices in the 'About this mac' preferences)
Now adb sees the device - woohoo
would this apply if i just wanted to use it to transfer music and such? I am not incredibly savy with coding but i tried to enable debugging and all that. I am justnot sure whats the problem.
No, the Android File Transfer program still works without this
Good to know it can be used to dev on. Anyone have any information on how to send data out using the IR blaster, I dont think there is support for it in the native android libraries from what I can see?
The following procedure has confirmed that ubuntu 11.04.
The following procedure has confirmed that ubuntu 11.04.
1. Enable debug mode for sony tablet S
2. Add line /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
3. Change file mode
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
4. Add line idVendor to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
0x054C
5. adb kill-server ; sudo adb start-server
6. finish!

I don't seem to have that file
I had done all the other steps in order to mount the tablet and copy files over (which works great).
Does anyone have issues with Sony's Music player failing to update the database? Music appears in the native Music app correctly but nothing in the Sony one
Found a way on Windows!
With the help of the vendor ID from above and the following article on generic Tegra Tablets, was able to get it to show up on Windows!

1.You must have Android SDK installed before you can proceed. If you don’t have it already, proceed to our guide on what is ADB and how to install it. Make sure you download the Google USB Driver Package as well.
2.Open the google-usb_driver folder that you will find inside your Android SDK folder.
3.Open the android_winusb.inf file in notepad or any text editor to edit it.
4.Add these lines under [Google.NTx86] or [Google.NTamd64] depending on whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows. If unsure, it is safe to add these under both these sections. ;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
Don’t edit or replace any other text that is already there; just add these new lines and save the file.
5.Open a command prompt window and enter this command: echo 0x054C >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Note: this is where you have to use 0x054C instead of what is at the link, otherwise it wont work
Now your Android SDK drivers are configured to support any Nvidia Tegra based tablet. To be able to use ADB and other SDK tools with your device, you can proceed as follows:
1.On your tablet, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and enable ‘USB Debugging’.
2.Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. You will get a notification that some drivers were not installed, which is OK for now.
3.Right-click ‘Computer’ and click ‘Manage’. Identify your device from the list, right-click it and click ‘Update Driver Software..’.
4.Choose to browse your computer for driver software and then select to pick from a list device drivers on your computer.
5.Choose to view all devices and click ‘Have Disk…’.
6.Browse to the google-usb_driver folder inside your Android SDK folder and select the android_winusb.inf file.
7.If you get any warnings prompts telling you that the driver might not be compatible, just choose to continue installing.
8.Once the drivers have been installed, you should be able to use ADB with your device.
9.To confirm that your device is recognized, launch a Command Prompt window and enter these commands: adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Also, using BRKs Transformer's instructions found a way to boot Tablet S into recovery: has reboot, update from ZIP and factory reset options
a) Hold down power and volume UP button
b) when SONY logo appears, release power button but keep pressing volume UP button
c) should load into recovery
This also gives us the MTP device driver, which I have been unable in finding/installing
No luck so far with Automated rooting tools, working hard to crack this awesome tablet!

Thanks Kaz Taguchi !!
Couldn't connect to my Sony..
It made me crazy..!
I was just forgotten the:
4. Add line idVendor to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
0x054C
So i created the file:
touch ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
and echoed the line into the file.
Works lime a charm now.

Done loading packages.
Preparing to install archives
Downloading Google USB Driver package, revision 4
File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\temp\usb_driver_r04-windows.zip (Access is denied)
Done. Nothing was installed.
I tried downloading and installing
(Can't post links)Download: Android USB Drivers - Original (Firmware 1.0)
But when I try to install the drivers for the tablet through device manager it says:
The folder you specified doesn't contain compatible software... ...Windows for x64-based systems.
Apparently this driver is only for x86. But after googling "download Google USB Driver Package" that's all I can find.
Got it...
At least I was able to "enable it" through the USB port,
thanks to this exercise in frustration.
Alas no root screen cap still didn't work.
It flashes wildly and does nothing.
Anyone happen to know the proper command line in system variables for win 7 for adb should be?
I haven't used adb in forever, and I think alot of peoples issues with adb is in the fact they cannot use it outside of the android/android-sdk/platform-tools directory. As in you can just type adb shell, adb start-server, adb kill-server from the root dir. I had it set up before, but with a new comp now, and I forgot what it was before.
whats going wrong
i cant seem to get the device driver on my adb at all. no matter what i do i cant get the usb driver sorted. this is where i get stuck"
Please add 0x54c into .android/adb_usb.ini file under HOME directory by using following command from command prompt.
echo 0x54c >> %HOMEPATH%\.android\adb_usb.ini
home directory???? every time i try this from home directory i get nothing.
this is my problem.... i dont have this file or entry. what is the entry?????? o notpad doc??,
adb_usb.ini file was missing the 0x54c entry! <<< what is this. a screen shot goes a loooong way.
Adb was simple with my x10 and sgs2 but man this is giving me the ****s.
can someone please post a few simple screenshots of what directory is supposed to be where please?

I've created an automated ADB driver installer for the Sony tablets.

Official Sony instructions
Looks like Sony has posted official instructions for setting up ADB with the Tablet S:
esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=878
After following their instructions I still had to go to Device Manager, choose to Update the driver for my tablet, and point it to the SDK/usb_driver folder. After that it works great.
debug
Hey guys i have installed the android sdk and the sony s drivers from the official site as dreadengineer posted. but after run the adb devices command i was unable to saw my device.
After that i tried the automated installations that BluechipJ posted, but the result was the same i cannot see the devices neither on eclipse or adb devices command.
i want to debug my application on this device but i could not access it. Can someone help me.
I have a windows 7 x64 OS. i'm able to debug on htc phone and also on the super slower emulator
I am sorry that I know there are so many articles talking about
Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I have read so many articles but still cannot find out the problem.
I go to "Devices" of Flashtool and "Check Drivers"
It gave me this

I have ticked the USB Debug yet my Z2 is not rooted yet.
Do I have to root it first?
May someone guide me how to unlock because I cannot finish it using the official way
It always keeps telling me "Waiting for device"
Thank you so much!

I followed this website.
Using method 1, I could not achieve step 4
Using method 2, when I type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
noting happened, it seemed to be saying "cannot find 0x0fce" or somthing else
I don't know why it keeps telling me no driver installed
I go to Device Manager of Windows and it shows it has the updated driver installed in the PC
I am using Win 8.1

Press windowsKey + R
type/paste
Code:
shutdown -o -r -t 0
into the box, this will restart your machine in the advanced startup menu.
when it restarts choose "disable driver signing" Then install the driver manually using the "have disk" option. when you reboot again the driver should be working.
-------------------
I followed what it said but when is "when it restarts choose "disable driver signing" Then install the driver manually using the "have disk" option. "???
I could not find disable driver signing.
After entering the shutdown command, what button should I press? Thank you for replying! I wish I will be able to flash rom today
Not sure what to do then because i ran into the same issue but i just used a linux OS as a work around
Thanks for answering
I will try using Win Vista
I hope someone could teach me
So I have a few of these Kramer Panels which aren't supported anymore (The official webpage doesn't have them anymore but the same product here) and I want to wipe out the Kronomeet Software they got going on and install some other flavor of Android (I'm thinking Lineage OS).
To start I got adb and fastboot up and running with Aptitude.
Code:
$ adb --version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 28.0.2-debian
$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 28.0.2-debian
Connecting fine with adb, and using lsusb we see
Bus 001 Device 037: ID 2207:0011 Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company SmartTab
Googling around that name led me to the Rockchip Wiki, which had an article on Fastboot and a bunch of open source repos
https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Fastboot
Which states: "Rockchip uses 0x2207 as its USB vendor ID. This VID is not in Google's original fastboot code. So every fastboot command has to use "-i" parameter to specify vid to fastboot."
However, running -i on fastboot gives me an invalid option error:
Code:
$ sudo fastboot -i 0x2207 devices
fastboot: invalid option -- 'i'
I also tried downloading the most recent version of the android platform tools with fastboot version 33.0.3-8952118, which gave the same results.
Doing any other fastboot command without the -i just has < waiting for any device >
So essentially, I'm trying to figure out how to load a custom rom onto it, and what my next steps try are.
Other Misc Info I've tried:
In the Developer Settings on the tablet, there's no option to enable "OEM Unlocking"
Tablet doesn't have a power button, just a switch, so no pressing power and volume at the same time.
Rockchip seems to have a TWRP image available to build, which I would like to be able to fastboot flash (https://github.com/rockchip-software/TWRP/tree/android-9.0)
There's also a development tool (https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Rkdeveloptool) that also lets you load firmware.
Using adb reboot bootloader reboots the tablet to a black empty screen, which I can then communicate with the rkdeveloptool.
In this mode, lsusb returns a new name:
Code:
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 038: ID 2207:320a Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company RK3288 in Mask ROM mode
