Debugging android application on HTC Hero

Question

Is it possible to connect the ADB with an HTC Hero? I tried following the instructions for the Win USB driver but when I try to install the driver I just get a generic message saying that there was a problem installing the driver. Looking at the supported devices, the HTC Hero isn't listed. Is this even possible?

As a note, I've tried removing drivers and then re-adding using USBDeview and I've also tried adding in the line ";HTC Hero %USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FFE.DeviceDescRelease%=androidusb.Dev, USB\Vid_0bb4&Pid_0ffe&Rev_0100" in the inf file for the driver.

Answer 1

Turns out you just need to download the drivers from HTC that come with HTC sync

Answer 2

You need a driver from HTC. http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/HTC-Hero-Drivers-81097.shtml. Once you have these, you need to manually install through device manager in windows. Make sure you have Device Debugging enabled before you connect. You should now be able to use ADB. Twitter me if you need more help: superlinkx.
