Install Any Android Device USB/ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Drivers With PdaNet


Most android devices don’t come with an official Android Debug Bridge (ADB) drivers installation pack. It is these drivers that are needed to send commands to any android device from a computer and mostly it’s a pain trying to get these drivers installed. Facing such???? Worry not! PdaNet does all that for you. All you need is an android device and a computer.

To get the drivers installed, this is what you have to do.
1. Download PdaNet from the official website here and start installation.
2. Go on with the installation process by pressing ‘Next’, ‘Agree’ and skip the next screen talking about drivers (Don’t plug in your phone yet till it tells you to).
3. If you previously had some drivers installed, PdaNet will query if you want to uninstall them. Allow it to and continue with the driver installation. This will overwrite the previous drivers and install new ones.
4. A screen will pop up asking you to select your phone’s manufacturer, select ‘Others’ if your manufacturer is not listed then click ‘OK’. 
5. On the Windows Security warning that appears next, click ‘Install this driver anyway’. Now PdaNet will ask you to connect your device. Do so but be sure to not enable any modes; be it USB Storage or tethering and let the driver installation process complete.
6. Your drivers are now properly configured. Now exit PdaNet from the tray icons to avoid its interruption before trying anything.

Just to confirm if the drivers were correctly installed, go to device manager. Your device MUST be listed as ‘Android ADB Interface’ under ‘Android Phone’. Luck!!!!
