Android USB driver for Xperia X10a
- by mlohbihler
I've been trying for a couple hours now, and have hit all of the sites Google found, but i cannot get the Android USB driver on my XP box to talk to my new Xperia X10a. I found the lines that some kind soul posted, and has been syndicated repeated, but they don't work for me. The idea is to add them to the Google.NTx86 and Google.NTamd64 sections of the android_winusb.inf file:
;Xperia X10
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_E12E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_E12E&MI_01
I tried a number of variations of the first line, including "Sony Ericsson X10a", which is what XP shows me in both the "found new hardware" wizard and the device manager, but no luck. The result is always the same. Here are my steps:
Plug in the phone via USB
"found new hardware wizard" appears
Choose "No, not this time" and "next"
Choose "Install from a list or specific location..." and "next"
Choose "Search for best driver...", check "Include this location...", and browse for the "usb_driver" folder in the Android SDK installation. Click "next"
It does a quick search and then says "Cannot install this hardware", "... because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I've tried more things that i can recall now, including deleting registry entries, but it just won't work. Any help would be appreciated at this point.
