NOTE: USB Driver Package is not compatible with Linux. Hope that informs other Linux users before you download the sdks.

I have been doing it by accident since I got my Droid x and my Girlfriend has on her LG Vortex. There HAS to be a way without downloading all the extra crap. If anyone knows how please fill us in. THANKS!

Thank you. Took a little time installing, but afterward the steps as outlined were pretty simple. Here are a few I took of my HomeScreens. The link is to Windows Live (Access is Open)

This is way outdated…

the sdk application doesn't work as it says in the instructions

“Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/andr…, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.”

I hit close after that and the list of packages to install is not populated with USB driver package or anything for that matter.

Is there an update to this walkthrough?

Is there seriously no way to easily take a screen shot on the droid without using a computer?

SDK.exe IS SDK Manager, you need to install updated Moto drivers to make use of it. SDK Man wil load the prompt window, THEN (with proper drivers) will skip to the option install window…

I realize your post is old but I felt I should still reply. This was driving me crazy too.

Hi ,

I was able to get this to work finally. I’ve been suspicious that the USB driver was the issue even after selecting it during the Android SDK process. I went to the Motorola site and downloaded a program that updates the USB Drivers for Windows. Link below:

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=bda09ec8009a0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD

I used the “Clean and Reinstall” option.

Also, I’m not sure if it made a difference but besides checking the “USB Debugging”, I also checked “Allow mock locations”. I also checked the “Unknown sources” in the previous menu where “Development” is.

Hope this helps.
