Update - I was attempting to get around T-Mobile's onerous requirement of having to wait until the completion of the current billing cycle to upgrade the account to support the G1 (preventing communication with Google servers for activation, essentially turning the device into a doorstop). In the end, I just said to hell with trying, and just waited the 3 weeks. I'm surprised that this situation exists and after an Internet search has existed for a very long time... I don't think Sprint or Verizon has ever been unable to upgrade/modify an account on the fly and properly re-calculate billing accordingly. After device activation, everything works and Vista SP1 continues to insist on using the Microsoft driver, still refusing to recognize the SDK driver (so your (2) is apparently incorrect, ADB works fine using the Microsoft driver).
So, it's apparently a T-Mobile restriction closing holes that could potentially jailbreak the device.

What driver do you want to install? 1- For transfering files from the SD Card, you do not need any driver. 2- For using ADB to debug, you need the driver that comes with the SDK. If you have trouble with that one please read this thread first: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/ff713181959c48ee/98dbfe1887d671c0 R/ On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 1:39 PM, Tony Su <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy, > > When I connect a G1 to Vista SP1, the phone is automatically recognized and > Vista's own USB driver (WpdFs.dll and WUDFRd.sys) is installed, but that > driver doesn't work. > > Nothing I try seems to update or change the USB driver to the one supplied > by the SDK... > Have tried > uninstalling the device and re-scanning > Updating the driver in the Device Properties > > When I try to force "updating" by manually pointing to the SDK driver, Vista > says it's not even a driver.
