I am an android developer. I have a new HTC Inspire 4g phone but I don't know how to install usb driver for it. This is my android_winusb.inf file:

What OS are you working in? And what's the concrete problem: you can't find a driver, or you can't install it? – Seismograph 28/5, 2011 at 6:16

I'm working on Windows 7 64bit. I have downloaded USB-Driver package provided by Google but I can't install HTC Inspire 4g usb driver (like what I did with Nexus one). – Yeryerevan 30/5, 2011 at 2:49

use the oem drivers or pdanet said by @TonyLe [answer deleted] – Ink 1/1, 2013 at 11:39

I have found a solution by myself. I use the PDANet tool to find the driver automatically.

why @Nguyen Minh Binh it doesn't automatically detect your device when connected? – Pallua 30/5, 2011 at 3:32

Yeah, Sure! But I just connect my device as USB storage only. I cant deploy my application on it. – Yeryerevan 22/6, 2011 at 5:30

you're the best, I was trying to find my android driver for a month :) – Donatelli 17/10, 2012 at 22:11

You are great Nguyen Minh Binh... It helped me... Thanks :) – Anabranch 25/12, 2012 at 20:13

Working perfect with Allview phones! Thx! – Wain 17/4, 2016 at 13:10

UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVER

I have thesame issue before but i solved it easily by just following this steps:

*connect your android phone in a debugging mode (to enable debugging mode goto settings scroll down About Phone scroll down tap seven times Build Number and it will automatically enable developer option turn on developer options and check USB debugging)

download Universal ADB Driver Installer

*choose Adb Driver Installer (Universal)

*install it *it will automatically detect your android device(any kind of brand) *chose the device and install

Your answer was the ONLY answer that worked for my Lenovo TAB10. If only someone had pointed me at your answer a week ago! – Coward 20/11, 2017 at 13:5

If no other driver package worked for your obscure device go read how to make a truly universal abd and fastboot driver out of Google's USB driver. The trick is to use CompatibleID instead of HardwareID in the driver's INF Models section

You don't really need to install or use any third party tools.

The drivers located in ...\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver work just fine.

Step 1: In Device Manager, Right click on the malfunctioning Android ADB Interface driver

Step 2: Select Update Driver Software

Step 3: Select Browse my computer for driver software

Step 4: Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Step 5: Select Have Disk

This window pops up:

Step 6: Copy the location of the Google USB Driver (...\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver) or browse to it.

Step 7: Click Ok

This window pops up:

Step 8: Select Android ADB Interface and click Next

The window below pops up with a warning:

That's it. You driver installation will start and in a few seconds, you should be able to see your device
