Ideally, ADB should be able to detect your Spreadtrum Android device once installed. This however isn't always the case and this guide will explain what to do when confronted with such an issue.

Requirements

  • PC
  • Setup ADB on the PC
  • USB cord
  • Spreadtrum phone

Steps to get ADB to detect a Spreadtrum Android phone


Follow the steps below to get ADB to detect your Spreadtrum (SPD) device

See the video tutorial below or @ https://youtu.be/aj4XY48Kb80

  1. Enable USB debugging on the phone
  2. Go to My Computer > C: > Users > Your_windows_user > .android 
  3. You'll find a file named adb_usb.ini . Open it using note pad (if you can't find it then download @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/attachment.php?aid=1281 and copy it to the location)
  4. Add the code below on a new line (it is the Vendor ID for Spreadtrum)

    Code:

    0x1782

  5. Save the file
  6. Launch ADB and connect the phone to the PC via USB cord

  7. Type the code below then press Enter

    Code:

    adb devices

  8. You'll likely get a response as shown in the image below

  9. If ADB doesn't detect the device then untick Media device (MTP) on the phone (under USB computer connection when you slide down the notification bar) when you connect
  10. The above response is because you've not granted the PC permission to communicate with the phone via ADB
  11. On the phone, tick Always allow from this computer then click OK

  12. Run the command below again in adb then press Enter

    Code:

    adb devices
     
  13. The phone should now be detected as active

    [Image: make-adb-detect-spreatrum-phone-2.jpg]

  14. If you dont get the prompt on the phone then type the command below and press Enter before you try the above command again

    Code:

    adb kill-server

Important Notice
  • Ensure to download the latest platform tools
  • Some tools require both ADB and SCi drivers so install Spreadtrum SCi USB drivers should you need to
  • Sometimes, ADB is unable to detect your device because you're using an old version. Ensure you have the latest version
  • You don't launch ADB by double-clicking the exe. To launch ADB; Open the ADB folder > Hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard > While holding SHIFT, right-click on an empty space in the ADB folder > Select Open command window here

Helllo Hovatek, I edited the file and added 0x1782 but yet still adb doesn't detect my phone. What I'm I doing wrong? I don't even get the prompt command from the phone when I type adb kill-server

1. Can adb detect other Android phones? 
2. Did you enable usb debugging on the phone?
