- Install the default adt bundle from Google
- It includes the default Google adb drivers
- Device manager recognizes the P300 as an Android device but does not update the driver
- Either edit the default Google usb driver or download it and edit it.
- To recognize the Funbook, the PID:VID combination needs to be added to the android_winusb.inf file. An example configuration:
- %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E12&MI_01 - Can be changed to
- %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&MI_01 - Notice the VID:PID changed to 18d1 and 0003. This will enable WIN8 to install the driver.
- Now the USB driver for the Funbook P300 is recognised, but Win8 will not install it as it is not signed. So Windows 8 driver signing has to be disabled as given here
- Once this is done Win8 will install the driver
- Android application development IDE will now recognize and install the application on the device.
- This method should work for any of the lesser known Android tabs having a PID of 18D1.
As the name says basically to remind me what I did and how I did it. It will mostly be about technology. In case it is useful to others it will be great. BTW the info in these pages has worked for me, it might not for you. Use at your own risk. Thanks for stopping by & thanks in advance for your comments !
