HTC Installing Incredible Android SDK Drivers

Posted on Thursday, February 3, 2011 by Fastest Android Phone 2012 On The Market

In order to debug on your new HTC Incredible smartphone on Windows 7, you need to install USB drivers from Google. Well, it turns out that the phone is too new for Google to have included support for the Incredible in their driver package. Here is how I got it all working though. It may or may not work for you.
1.) Install the Android SDK and download the USB drivers into a folder inside your SDK as Google tells you to do. My drivers ended up in C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
2.) You next need to hack the file android_winusb.inf to add support for the HTC Incredible.
Find the section labeled [Google.NTx86]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.

-----
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
Find the section [Google.NTamd64]. At the end of that section, add the following lines.
-----
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01
On your Incredible, go to Settings->Applications->Development and turn on USB debugging. NOW, you can connect your phone to the PC.
On your PC, Go to Start->Right-Click My Computer->Manage
You should see a device with a warning on it called Other->ADB. Right-click it and choose Update Driver Software… Install the drivers manually and point that to your usb_drivers folder. Ignore any warnings about unsigned drivers and everything should install just fine. After installation, I see Android Phone->Android Composite ADB Interface in the Device Manager.
After that, I went to the cmd prompt and typed
>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

Even Google’s latest SDK (v5) does not yet have the HTC Incredible in the android_winusb.inf.  I found these directions and they work will.  I suspect if you are using Linux, you will need to add “0BB4″ to your udev rule.

I can confirm it worked for me on Windows XP.
