IDEOS"s ADB USB driver for Windows

UPDATE: Just found that when the IDEOS is connected, a 7M drive with title «Mobile Partner» will be mounted to the computer that contains the device driver of the phone. So just install the driver in the folder will be fine.
If you want to use IDEOS as a development device, you will find that there is no device driver for this phone even you update the android SDK to the latest version. The IDEOS actually works on MacOSX or Linux as a development device.

To make it works under Windows, I modify the android_winusb.inf in the usb_driver folder of android SDK. I added the usb device id of IDEOS to the inf file so that the system will recognize the driver.

;Huawei IDEOS
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_12D1&PID_1038&MI_01

To use it:

1. Download the attached file.
2. Extract file to the usb_driver folder of the android SDK, remember to backup the old inf file.
3. Attach IDEOS to the computer, the system will prompt you for the device driver, select the usb_driver folder and now the driver can be install. The IDEOS will be recognized as «Android Composite ADB Interface» like other android development phone.

It also works on using the ddms to capture the screen on the IDEOS. developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/ddms.html
