Thinkpads Forum

I'm trying to root my ideapad, but cannot get the ADB driver to install on my T60 (XP Pro SP3). No matter what I try I still get that darn exclamation point on top of the a107 entry in device manager. For two days I've tried nearly every suggestion that I could find online without success. Some disabled the power manager or my custom ThinkVantage button setting. One (deleting wdf01000.sys and its registry entries) nearly bricked the T60 - it killed the trackpoint, power manager and who knows what else. I had to do a system restore and still had to uninstall and re-install the power manager to get it working again.

I'm at my wit's end - any ideas?

At the risk of sounding like Emily Litella, "Never mind." It turns out that the version of android_winusb.inf that I doenloaded was for a different Lenovo tablet (Lenovo Think Tablet), not for the A1_07. Adding the section:

;Lenovo A1
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_17EF&PID_7423
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_17EF&PID_7423&MI_01

under [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] did the trick. Finding the correct device ID was all that I really needed.
