Hello Kostya, thank you for your reply. I knew I'd forgotten to mention something -- I had tried what you mentioned, and after seeing your post, I was encouraged to try again, but I still can't get it to work. Here's what I did (shortened version!)
1) Turned debugging on on the Ally 2) Plugged the USB in 3) Looked at device manager: when I plugged it in, these things appeared: a) Under "Disk drives": GOOGLE Mass storage USB device b) Under "Other devices:"LG Mobile USB Modem" There are 5 "LG Mobile USB Modem" entries. If I look at the first one, the Hardware Ids entry says: USB\VID_1004&PID_618&REV_0100&MI_00 USB\VID_1004&PID_618&MI_00 The next one is the same except it says "MI_01" and so on incremented for each of the entries. The "Device description" for each of the entries is "LG Mobile USB Modem". 4) I cut and pasted the entry for "; HTC Dream" (the first entry) and changed the entry to ; LG Ally %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_618 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1004&PID_618&MI_00 5) That didn't work. I tried "LGE Ally", LG Mobile Ally", "LG Mobile USB Modem", "Ally", "LG", "LGE"... all to no avail 6) Iterating in with that I started changing the entry itself to match the others more by changing PID to "PID_0618". I tried putting the "REV_0100" in. 7) I tried many things like the above. Nothing worked. Windows always would come back and say (quickly), "Windows was unable to install your LG Mobile USB Modem". It seems like that's a clue, since I want ADB and not a modem, but I'm at a loss as to what to try next. The folder I always gave windows to look in was the "usb_driver" folder within my Android SDK installation. It could well be that I'm missing the particular combination of things that'll make it work, but I don't know what it is. Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated.
