Manual assembling of ADB driver

There are no drivers for some Android devices. For such devices, a driver can be created automatically by the programs, such as Oxygen Forensic or Magnet Acquire, but also the driver can be assembled manually. Perform the following steps to do so:

  1. Connect the device for which you need to create a driver.
  2. Upload Google USB Driver and unpack the uploaded archive.
  3. In the unpacked archive, find the android_winusb.inf file and open it in Notepad, which you should run as administrator. You will find the following fragment of text in the file:
;Google Nexus One
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E12&MI_01
  1. Run the Device Manager and find the device (Android or Android Composite ADB Interface).
  2. Click the right mouse button.
  3. In the opened menu, select Properties, then in the opened window select Details.
  4. In the drop-down Property menu, select Hardware Ids.
