Probably every user once comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to update the firmware on his tablet, but the manufacturer closed this direction, and prefabricated firmware from free developers come to the aid of the owner. However, for manual update you need to download the driver for the tablet and install it on your computer.

Beginners, usually faced with this problem, forget forever and stop thinking about firmware, because sometimes finding a suitable driver for your tablet is an insurmountable obstacle, especially if it is of Chinese origin.

Why drivers are needed

Probably everyone knows that the popular Android operating system was built on Linux based, interaction with which, at one time, took place only through the command line. Linux is evolving, and there are already a huge number of GUI flavors released, but Android has remained the same.

Therefore, to work on Windows, specialized drivers are required that directly work with command line. In other words - to make friends with different operating systems.

ADB drivers

Each firmware review for a device begins with the mandatory installation of ADB drivers, just at this step, many users abandon the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bflashing their gadget. However, not everything is as scary as it seems at first glance.

Installing Drivers

This is an application that allows you to create a kind of "software bridge" for the interaction of two devices - a computer and a tablet, to ensure data transfer, for example, reinstalling Recovery or root installation to a tablet device. These drivers are universal and are suitable for almost every android device, but their main problem lies precisely in universality.

adb problem

The developer tried to please all the devices at once, because the search for drivers for each individual device and constant problems with the official ones led to the breakdown of the tablets. So, trying to please everyone at once, the applications were so overloaded that very often there were problems with inconsistencies and driver mismatches. It's just that others were installed instead of some, or some files (unnecessary) replaced the necessary ones, and this led to a failure.

One enthusiastic developer created an application that combined many drivers and reduced the error rate.

Universal Application

home especially this application is a complete interaction with the growing popularity Windows platform 8 and its predecessor Windows 7, before that, many owners also encountered driver performance problems on these OS versions.

But, despite the universal approach, unfortunately, it was found that the drivers work perfectly with top-end tablets from companies:

• Samsung
• HTC smartphones
• Other.

But he “refuses” to work with little-known Chinese companies, whose tablets and smartphones you will not see on store shelves. And this is also understandable, because well-known companies computer technology for many years they have been working on the market and supporting my products with all my might, and little-known ones produce a limited number, and after six months they forget about them.

Official drivers

Despite the difficulty of finding official drivers, top tablet devices do not face such a problem, and each owner can go to the official website of their manufacturer and download drivers for their operating system.

Drivers for Asus

Above is an image of how you can download a driver for a FonePad 7 tablet on the Asus website, and so with each gadget, simply by using the search. For other companies, you can also use the site or the usual search, type in the line: product model and add the word "driver".

Usually a large set of various applications for the interaction of Android gadgets with computers can be found on a specialized forum http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=idx.

Installation on Samsung

Samsung is one of the few corporations that really cares about its users and does everything so that the owner does not have to "grab his head" in terms of finding drivers. A special one will do it for him. free app– KIES, developed by Samsung.

One of the most important steps when working with the software of Android devices through specialized Windows applications is the installation of “firmware” drivers.

Before proceeding with the installation of software components in Windows, the Android device must be prepared. In many cases, firmware uses, at least partially or at a certain stage, the capabilities of . This tool can only work with an Android device if Android mode is activated on the latter. "USB Debugging". Almost all device manufacturers and developers of various variations of the Android OS initially block this feature for users. That is, after the first start of the device "USB Debugging" disabled by default. We turn on the mode, going the following way.

Preparing Windows

As for the Windows OS, its preparation before starting the firmware process is to disable the digital signature verification of drivers. To avoid possible problems, it is necessary to carry out the operations described in the article:

In the event that the above does not work, we turn to the website of the device manufacturer and download the file package from there.

Installing VCOM Drivers for Mediatek Devices

The devices built on the basis of the MTK platform are notable for the fact that in most cases their firmware is carried out using the application, and this, in turn, implies a pre-installation Preloader USB VCOM Driver.

There is an auto installer for MTK drivers. Initially, we try to solve the pairing problem with it.

Instructions for pairing Android devices on the Intel platform with a PC

Android devices based on the Intel hardware platform, as well as devices with other processors, may require firmware via special utilities, therefore, installing the ADB-, MTP-, PTP-, RNDIS-, CDC USB serial profile drivers before starting the manipulations is a necessary condition for the correct execution of the procedure.

Search for necessary files for Android devices with Intel processor carried out on the websites of OEMs. For a more convenient search for the download page, you can again use the table from Android developers, kindly posted by them on the official website of Android Studio.
