Got another android tablet, and can't find usb driver for it, in order to use ADB? I'm going to show a step-by-step guide what to do in this case, suggested by my colleague. This approach worked on every device I have tested so far.
1. Connect the device to a computer with usb cable.
2. On Android device turn on Settings->Aplication->Development->USB Debugging option.
3. Open device manager on Windows, and there you should see Android Phone node with "Android Composite ADB Interface" leaf. Click on properties, go to details tab and select "Hardware Ids” from dropdown box. In "Value" window you'll see something like this (that's for my Altina tablet):
USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&REV_9999&MI_01
USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&MI_01.
Copy these values to notepad.
4. Now open ..\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf with notepad. This is standard android usb driver from SDK. It covers some of the phones as you can see, like HTC Dream and Google Nexus One. We are going to try to add a new device to it. Go to the [Google.NTx86] section in case you are on 32-bit Windows or to [Google.NTamd64] if you have a 64-bit os.
5. Copy the strings from HTC Dream and paste them before "; HTC Dream"
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01
Then change USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01 and USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01 with your device's strings saved in notepad. For instance, in my case it would look like:
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&REV_9999&MI_01
Save and close android_winusb.inf.
6. Done. To check go to android-sdk\platform-tools\ and type adb devices. If everything worked out well you should see your device in the list of atached devices.
