ADB Driver for PocketBook IQ?

clivesl · 01-18-2011, 03:44 AM

I am having trouble finding an ADB Driver for my PocketBook IQ. I'm running windows 7 and I have downloaded the AndroidSDK and attempted to point windows at all of the USB Drivers Folders in the SDK but I can't get a driver to install. What am I missing here? I know it is going to be a simple fix, but I am at a loss.

Open the INF file in the USB_Driver folder in your SDK with a plain text editor and look to see if your device is in the [Manufacturer] list. If it is not there, then your device is probably not a device officially supported by the SDK. In that case you should try to get the driver from your device manufacturer.

It is not in the INF file and the device manufacturer has no drivers on their site, but many members of this forum have connected it to their machines and gained ADB access. So I am wondering how they did it? I can boot my PC into Linux if I have to, but still need the ADB driver.

The way that I did it with my SmartQV7 was to edit the INF file and add the parameters for my SmartQV7. Of course, you need to know the parameters, but usually someone on a device specific discussion forum has posted them somewhere.

That's kind of what I was hoping for, but can't find it on slatedroid, xda or here. If anyone knows where I can find those parameters I would be eternally grateful. I love the IQ, but the lack of app space is driving me nuts.

Thanks all, found the driver and got adb working

Would you mind saying WHERE you found the pocketbook IQ usb driver? I'm going nuts trying to find it!

I wish I remembered, I pretty sure it was on this site and it was a tutorial on how to doctor a nookcolor driver (I think) to work with the IQ. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Check in the Pocketbook Forum; the IQ community there has step-by-step instructions on several major hacks; rooting, Patching it for apps2sd, getting Google's market running, and even a repacked firmware that flashes the IQ as pre-rooted.
Most of those threads are clearly marked as 701/IQ.
