Make windows recognize Android USB driver (For sideloading in Recovery)

Can't get ADB to talk to your android? Get the sad "not recognized" sound when you plug in USB in recovery mode? The trick is to check device manager and get the hardware ID, then add that to the .inf. (Using the USB driver included w/ the ADK.)

path-to-extracted-adk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf

Latest driver is here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html


I just added %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001
to the "[Google.NTamd64]" section.
