Hauwei IDEOS adb driver


It was a little bit tricky to install the driver on windows, because I could not find any OEM driver from Hauwei. However, with it can be added as an Android Composite ADB interface easily.

To do that, first make sure you have download Google provided driver.


  1. Launch the SDK and AVD Manager by double-clicking SDK Manager.exe, at the root of your SDK directory.
  2. Expand the Third party Add-ons and Google Inc. add-ons.
  3. Check Google Usb Driver package and click Install selected.
  4. Proceed to install the package. When done, the driver files are downloaded into the <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\directory.
Once you have the driver, go to <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\ and add the following lines to android_winusb.inf. Make sure to create a backup of the inf file first.


;Huawei IDEOS
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038&MI_01

So basically it looked like following as I added the lines after Google nexus one 



;Google NexusOne
%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
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&MI_01
;Huawei IDEOS
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038&MI_01


[USB_Install]
Include = winusb.inf
Needs   = WINUSB.NT


[USB_Install.Services]
Include     = winusb.inf
AddService  = WinUSB,0x00000002,WinUSB_ServiceInstall



That's it! Now just give this driver location for the IDEOS...
