The UBports Installer used to warn users that they should install some adb drivers from the ClockWorkMod website. This good-intentioned warning seems to have worked at some point in the past, but it did more harm than good lately: the installer worked better before installing the drivers than after.
However, the saga doesn't end there. It turns out, more drivers are required to use the UBports Installer on Windows! The driver included with Windows works for most adb devices in my library, but the vendor-specific fastboot drivers are required for fastboot sessions.
Google's drivers can be found on their website
Other vendors' drivers, along with installation instructions, can be found in the Android documentation.
There is also a driver which is offered in Windows Update that seems basically "universal" for the devices I tested -- the OnePlus One, Nexus 5, Volla Phone, Xperia X... I can't remember its name, but it appears in "Optional Updates" after Windows sees a fastboot device the first time.
This report serves two purposes:
- We want to know which drivers should be installed for each device
- We want to know how we would be able to guide the user through installation, or do it ourselves.
Please post here if you know either.
