Google USB Driver - "error:device not found"

If you've downloaded the Andriod SDK and are developing Andriod apps on XP, eventually you will want to test your apps on an actual device. To do this you need to have the Google USB Driver installed. Unfortunately, the drivers downloaded from the Andriod SDK manager are giving some users an, "error: device not found" message as they try to install the drivers the first time the device is attached to their PC.  After quite a bit of research and trying different suggestions, I found out that I had to edit the android_winusb.inf file that is included with the Google USB Driver package. The driver must be installed for the ADB(Andriod Debug Bridge) to work when connecting the Coby Kyros MID7012 to my PC running Windows XP.


Download Google USB Driver
Using the "SDK Manager" that came with the Andriod SDK, you can download the Google USB Driver package.


Edit the inf file

1. Open the file "android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\andriod_winusb.inf" in note pad or some other text editor.

2. Find the line that reads "[Google.NTx86]"

3. Add the following 2 lines right under "[Google.NTx86]"

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED&MI_01

4. Find the line that reads "[Google.NTamd64]"

5. Add the following 2 lines right under [Google.NTamd64]

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_DEED&MI_01
