Adb drivers: universal usb drivers for all android devices

Инструкция: Как применить патч к системному текстовому файлу с помощью ADB Run

Многие знают, что операционная система Android является самой гибкой в плане настроек, кастомизации и модинга, что позволяет профессионалам и любителям создавать не только собственные прошивки, основываясь на официальные, но и заниматься созданием патчей, которые в той или иной мере влияют на работу системы/отдельно взятых компонентов вашего устройства.

Сегодня мы рассмотрим пример того, как можно скопировать системный текстовый файл на примере build.prop из ОС Android к себе на компьютер, отредактировать его и после создать патч, который можно спокойно применить к вашему устройству, а при необходимости совершить откат совершенных действий.

Что нам понадобится для работы

• ПК или ноутбук на ОС Windows
• USB-кабель для вашего устройства (желательно фирменный)
• Скачанная и установленная программа ADB Run на ваш компьютер
• Включенная отладка по USB на Android
• Наличие Root-прав
• Установленная программа BusyBox на Android

Процесс создания и применения патча

Сначала мы должны подключить устройство к ПК через USB-кабель, затем запустить программу ADB Run и перейти в меню Manual Command and Unlock Bootloader->ADB, подробную инструкцию о том, как пользоваться ADB Run вы сможете найти в самом начале обзора программы.

Теперь нам необходимо скопировать файл build.prop, для чего вводим следующем команду в открывшемся окошке программы:

После проделанных действий файл build.prop будет скопирован на рабочий стол вашего ПК, откуда вы сможете открыть его и отредактировать, но не забудьте изменить имя файла. Как только файл будет отредактирован и сохранен, вам нужно будет обратно скопировать его на устройство, для чего мы воспользуемся следующей командой.

Данная команда позволила нам переместить текстовый файл на карту памяти устройства, а следующим шагом является перемещение его в системную папку, но прежде чем вы начнете это делать, необходимо указать файлу разрешения на запись. Для этого в разделе system необходимо прописать следующие команды:

После проделанных действий, можно смело отправлять созданный нами файл в системный раздел, введя следующую команду:

Теперь нам останется создать сам патч. Для этого нужно перейти в системный раздел командой:

А при помощи следующей команды создать сам матч:

В этот момент произойдет создание файла с именем ptch.diff в который и будут внесены наши изменения.

Последнее, что нужно сделать – это применить патч, который мы только, что создали, а для этого служит очень простая команда:

На этот процесс создания и применения патча к текстовому системному файлу можно считать завершенным.

Fourth Step: Open Device Manager and Install the ADB Driver

You can open Device Manager to install the ADB driver. In this article, we are going to use Google Nexus 7 because the steps are quite similar for all other Android devices. Once you’re ready, just follow the instructions below:

1. Plug your Android device into your computer.
2. Open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows Key+R on your keyboard.
3. Type “devmgmt.msc” (no quotes), then hit Enter. This should bring up Device Manager.
4. Look for your Android device.
5. Right-click it, then select Properties from the options. If the driver is not installed properly, you will see a yellow warning icon beside your Android device.
6. Go to the Driver tab, then click Update Driver.
7. A new window will pop up. Select the ‘Browse my computer for driver software’ option.
8. Search for the ADB driver file you previously downloaded by clicking Browse.
9. Select the box beside Include Subfolders, then click Next. Device Manager will automatically install the ADB driver.

If you do not need this feature, you might ask, “Where can I uninstall the ADB driver?” You can do that via Device Manager. You just need to follow the first four steps, then select Uninstall Device.

Where do you plan on using the ADB?

Step 2: Remove Bad ADB Drivers

The Nirsoft USBDeview utility comes as a zipped executable. That means you must unzip it and it doesn’t require installation. This utility may show up as malware in a virus scan, but rest assured that it’s safe.

After unzipping the file, open the extracted folder and run the executable utility inside it. USBDeview displays the total number of installed USB drivers on your computer, both connected and disconnected.

Look for the colored status indicator at the far-left of the USBDeview window. There are four colors. Each represents a different status:

• Green indicates that the device is connected and that it functions properly.
• Pink means the device can unplug and works properly (although in reality, it may not actually work properly).
• Red indicates a disabled USB device.
• Gray means the device is installed, but not connected.

Now, remove all gray items with the words «Google», «Linux», «ADB», or «Android» in the title. When troubleshooting this issue, we typically remove every item that’s not green.

Removing a device driver means that you’ll need to reinstall drives for that USB device if you want to use it again. Fortunately, most of the time Windows automatically installs USB devices, so it’s not a big deal.

Install Universal ADB drivers

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is the source or software package to make your computer enable to detect the third party storages. Though MTP (Media transfer protocol) can help you in this regard but ADB got more control and performances.

There are two ways to get the drivers installed on your computer.

Either you get the driver from the given download link what we have given to you, and install simply, though we can guide you to go through the installation simply.

The other way is a long way to go a process, and you need to get the patience to go with this.

In this, you need to have a driver updater, which will scan the entire computer, and will update you regarding the missing driver, and with the option to update them you simply get them updates.

Download Universal ADB drivers from the given download link, and install them on your Windows computers.

Importance of ADB and Fastboot Mode

If you have just stepped into the world of Android ecosystem then the ADB and Fastboot binaries are probably among the top few things that you should get yourself aware of. If your sole purpose of using an Android device is just making calls and sending messages, well then you probably wouldn’t need these drivers. But the thing is there is only a limited chunk of users who belong to this population. For the vast majority, they wish to explore the full potential of this open-source environment.

The usefulness of ADB Commands

In this regard, right from the first step, you will be needing ADB and Fastboot. To begin with, the ADB commands are used to boot your device to different modes, including Fastboot Bootloader and Downloader and Stock Recovery. Similarly, you could even install and uninstall any application onto your device right from your PC itself. Likewise, these ADB commands also allow you to transfer files between your device and PC. Then using the adb shell you could unlock the device’s full potential with so many hidden tweaks.

The Need for Fastboot Commands

Talking about tweaks, let’s turn our attention towards Fastboot. To be able to effectively carry out any of the system-level tweaks on to your device, the first step is to bypass the restriction put in place by the OEM. In simpler words, an unlocked bootloader is a major prerequisite that your device should qualify. And that could only be done via the required fastboot commands. After that, the plenty of goodies that an unlocked bootloader brings in with itself also requires the support of these Fastboot commands in some form or the other.

TWRP Home

Flashing a Magisk patched image for root, permanent installation of TWRP ZIP, or just booting its IMG file for one-time use, all ask for appropriate fastboot commands. Likewise, the plethora of mods that you come across requires sending in the fastboot commands. Even keeping everything else aside, just the fact that fastboot is required to unlock the bootloader, root your device and flash TWRP should be enough to highlight its importance.

So go ahead and install the necessary Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. Then launch the Command Prompt or PowerShell window and welcome the endless possibilities on your Android device. Just keep in mind to enable USB Debugging on your device from Developer Options if you are dealing with Android Debug Bridge, and have the necessary drivers installed on your PC.

Advantages of ADB and Fastboot tool

• Compatible for any Android devices
• Runs on both Windows or Mac platforms
• Install Custom ROM
• Flash Custom Recovery
• Can install Root
• Unlock / Relock the device bootloader
• Remove bloatware from your phone

Step 3: Install the Universal Driver

Koush’s Universal ADB Driver works for every Android device, no matter how niche. After installing it, you should be able to assign the right driver to your phone.

Manually Install a USB ADB Driver

To do a manual install, first run the executable package for Koush’s Universal ABD Driver you downloaded earlier, which installs the driver to your computer.

Second, plug your Android device into your PC via USB. The correct USB drivers should load. You can check by going to Device Manager in Windows as discussed earlier. If there is a different driver listed than what you saw in the first step, chances are you have the correct USB driver loaded now.

In the Device Manager, locate the new ADB/USB driver. This will likely be under your phone’s name in the Portable Devices section, but Android devices can appear in different locations in Device Manager. You may need to check each possible device class (such as Android Phone or Samsung) in the Device Manager before you find yours.

If you can’t find it, sometimes you’ll need to check the notification shade on your Android device for additional steps. This allows you to authorize a specific computer to connect to your device beyond charging purposes.

Once you find it, right-click on your device and choose Update Driver. From the resulting menu, choose Browse my computer for driver software, then Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Here, you will see a list of compatible drivers. Choose one of these (starting at the top if fine). If it fails, repeat the process by going down the list to locate another driver that works.

Install the Universal ABD Driver Instead

If you can’t get the right driver installed using the above method, you will need to perform a manual installation in order for Koush’s driver to work. Thankfully, the Device Manager lets you hand-pick a driver from your computer instead of browsing from a list.

Instead of selecting Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer in the previous step, hit the Browse button and manually find the directory where you installed Koush’s drivers.

The location in File Explorer should be something like this:

You may need to search for the folder if you don’t see it there. Once you select the right location, hit Next and Windows will install the drivers. From now on, whenever you connect your Android device with ADB enabled, Koush’s drivers will load in place of the ones that failed to work.

Finally, restart your computer and attempt to connect over ADB again. You should have success at this point.

Steps to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot

What is ADB?

Android Debug Bridge or ADB is a client-server program that lets you communicate with a device. ADB is a part of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Moreover, it includes three components viz. a client, a server, and a daemon. Besides, a client is the one who runs on your development machine and sends a command.

On the other hand, a daemon is the one that runs as a background process on your android device. And lastly, the communication between the client and daemon is managed by a Server. This communication is most often done over a USB cable, but WiFi connections are also supported. ADB can control your Android device over USB from a computer, transfer files, install apps, uninstall apps, run powerful shell commands, etc.

As long as debugging mode is enabled on your Android device, you can send ADB commands from a computer. Most important, the ADB commands can even work when your Android device is booted into recovery mode. Moreover, the best part is that your device doesn’t even need to be rooted in the ADB commands to work.
