No ADB driver for medion e4001 (MD 98500) for remote debugging

Question

For testing purposes I need to debug an older android device: MEDION LIFE e4001 (MD 98500)

There are no drivers available online and I wrote to the MEDIUM guys receiving the following answer:

Thanks for your feedback. We are gladly share the following information with you: There are currently no plans to develop debug drivers for the Medion smartphone e4001. If you want to transfer data they are not necessary - when connected to a pc the phone will appear as a usb storage device.

So no official ADB driver for that device. Is there any chance to get a working ADB driver for that device somehow?

Answer 1

I found a solution (for windows):

1. Download the official MEDION ADB driver for some other tablets they offer
2. Unpack
3. Open the android_winusb.inf file in a texteditor
4. Add the following lines at the end of the two sections [Google.NTx86]up and [Google.NTamd64]

5. ; ;MEDION Life E4001 %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_109B&PID_911E %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_109B&PID_911E&MI_01

6. Go to the device manager, select the unknown driver (called generic in my case), update driver and select the folder.

Off you go!
