I can't seem to figure out what happened to my ADB driver. I installed HTC Sync to use USB tethering and found that ADB no longer worked. I checked the drivers and found that the ADB driver is missing. I uninstalled HTC sync and the driver, plugged in my phone and the phone automatically installs the driver for HTC Sync. Tried to perform "adb remount" and it gives me "error: device not found".
I am running Windows XP SP3 on my computer. Cyanogen 4.2.3.1 with the Buuf theme. If somebody could help me get ADB back I would appreciate it.
Anybody? Any Suggestions?

YOu have to reinstall the driver but don't let it choose the driver for you tell WIndows that you'll do it manually and select the win32 driver in the SDK tools.
That being said you aren't going to be able to use HTC Sync anymore.
Thanks for the reply. How can I manually install the driver? I uninstalled the HTC sync driver, plugged my phone in, and the driver automatically installs. It never gives me a chance to browse for a different driver. If there is some way I can force the driver to install without connecting the phone, that would probably do the trick. I would much rather have ADB than USB tethering anyway.
Nevermind. Next time I will google before I ask how to do something.
If anybody else has a similar problem, just google how to install drivers manually and manually install the ADB driver.

Ok i made a post and it was moved to trash and it says i dont have permission to post there so ill just move it here.....
Ok well i have been trying for like 2 hours now to get ADB to work. I followed all the guides, installed the 1.5 SDK and everything even did the Enviroment Variable thing as well. When i plug in my G1 i dont get any popup of a new device or anything. In device manager there is not ADB as well just Android Phone and when i uninstall it, it installs again on its own when i plug the phone in again. I went to cmd and typed in adb shell but i get "device not found".
Anyone know whats wrong? Btw im using Windows Vista SP1
I went into fastboot and that gave me the new driver notification so i have fastboot working but when i go to ADB i get device not found and device manager finds my phone as a universal usb device or w/e. Why wont this work?!?!?!?
It sounds like you didn't install the drivers.
Read this (I wrote it). You should have adb working in no time.
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/what-is-adb-made-easy-17732/
Did you update the driver for the phone (should currently be showing as one of the USB Composite Device, IIRC) with the ADB driver included in the SDK (android_usb.inf in <sdk root directory>\usb_driver\)?
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Vista, alternatively, you can try the 64-bit signed driver found here. Also, you can try the updated driver I have attached.
Well, if you used your phone as a card reader at any point before you enabled USB debugging, then you'll have to uninstall the USB Mass Storage Device associated with your phone first. After that, unplug and plug the USB cord back in and it'll install the USB Mass Storage Device and then it'll ask about the ADB interface. That's your chance to install the driver that everyone is talking about but didn't spend the time to explain how to get there if you were in this situation...
never mind i got it. I used a program to uninstall all the Android USB drivers then i plugged it back in and it worked. Thanks for the help guys!
Keep getting this message in Command Prompt when trying to install CM9 on my touchpad.
Yes I have cd to the right directory in command prompt
Yes it does show up in Device manager as Palm Novacom (bootie) under the tab Palm Novacom Modules.
Yes drivers are installed
Yes I did re install all drivers after removing them.
Tried different USB cables
Will not show up in Adb either.
My computer does recognize it, in both WebOS Recovery mode, and in Mass storage mode.
What does this message mean? Am I missing something?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Edit: Solved!
Thanks to Scifan on IRC for his help!
I've got the same exact issue... i have a feeling it has something to do with win 7 64bit, im seeing alot of people with the same issue with that setup.
Reinstall novacom using this this installer
http://universal-novacom-installer.googlecode.com/files/UniversalNovacomInstaller.jar
Than in your type this (services.msc) in your windows start bar. Look for Palm Novacom in the services.
If its not there, try installing novacom drivers again while looking at the services menu. It worked for me like that, not sure why. But this was my problem.
I had reinstalled novecom drivers a few times trying to get it to work, and that some how did the trick for me. Was pretty weird.
My net book is running windows 7 32bit. Dont know if 64bit is going to have problems as I cannot test.
Good luck!
I'm fairly new to android and i was wanting to root my htc vivid but it will not connect to my computer. I first plugged it in and the windows device manager installed a driver that just said unknown device. so i went and downloaded the htc sync software but even that won't recognize the vivid. I'm at a total loss and need direction.
Drivers at htc
Did you try the drivers at developer.htc.com ?
Page 4 from "Kernel Source code"
Download ADB http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Choose Connection Type
When you connect your Vivid to the PC via the USB cable, you should see a screen asking what type of connection you want - charging only, disk drive, sync, etc. If you are not trying to actually sync data, just select disk drive and the tap the Done button at the bottom. You can then see the internal storage (and the "external" SD card if you have one installed). This can be done even if HTC Sync does not work.
If you don't see the connection type screen, go into Settings and tap on Connect to PC. Check the Ask Me box so you will be prompted the next time you plug in the USB cord.
As to HTC Sync, see my posting elsewhere in this forum about HTC Sync not working. In my opnion, it's not a very good program.
As for the driver, you may need to uninstall the driver if you can. Then uninstall and re-install HTC Sync to get the correct driver.

I had similar issues trying to install the ICS update. Some searching lead me to this post that had just the drivers I needed.
-Brett.
I've tried the drivers from that post before and still no dice. And when I connect my phone it never asks for connection type even when I have it checked. I'm still in the same boat

Exactly what he said, Windows Vista didn't tell me any drivers were required (in charge only mode), but I had to install the XP drivers from that link before the RUU would proceed past the very first step. After I did that it worked fine.
Just unzip the drivers to a folder and when Windows tells you it can't find drivers, tell it to look there.
Ok I have the same issue but windows doesn't tell me it can't find drivers it just sits there. So how di I get it to accept the drivers?

I found the drivers for windows by going thru the at&t website... Then once I installed the HTC sync software (yes I know it doesn't work) and ran it... It told me there was a new version... I installed that and like magic it finally knew it was there...

HTC has new drivers that work when the old drivers did not. HTC SYNC from htc.com Load in Windows7 and they will run in the background.
read the posts above to set your phone correctly and you should be good to go. Gary
I have the HTC One M7 64GB Developer's edition
I want to use HTC Sync. After installing it, HTC Sync says the phone is not connected. I see the windows default driver for the phone is installed under 'HTC Android Phone USB Device' and it's under CD-ROMS. I tried updating the driver to the driver in the Win7x64/drivers folder but windows insists that its default driver is the best one for the device. I choose let me pick the device and point to the androidusb.INF file and it says it's not compatible with the device and doesn't let me install it.
This is the HTC Sync file I downloaded: setup_3.1.24.5_htc.exe

Is usb debugging disabled?
Else try
Try uninstalling HTC sync and HTC drivers. Then with your phone plugged in delete the drivers that are associated with it. Unplug your phone. Restart and just plug in the phone. Then run the setup for HTC sync from your phone.
USB debugging is disabled.
How do I run HTC sync on my phone? Sorry, I tried googling and didn't find anything.
Delete all drivers you downloaded, including going into devices on Windows and removing anything your computer is recognizing in connection with the phone. These include HTC One driver MTP (sp!?) driver and Android device driver. Restart computer!. Use different t USB port, plug in and let it auto install. That should do it.

Tried it and it installed the default windows driver again.
I don't understand how it's supposed to install anything other than the windows driver if I deleted all other HTC drivers.
I just tried this on my Windows 8.1 laptop. It does the same thing.
I think it's some setting on the phone now. USB Debugging is off.
I found this thread with a similar issue. http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/266478-root-noob-needs-help.html
However, when I have HTC Sync uninstalled, it still has the default windows driver installed. Should I have something else installed while HTC Sync isn't installed?

USB Debugging needs to be on if you want ADB to recognize it in the OS. Also, check to see if Fast boot is NOT checked in Power from the Settings menu.
Agree with the use of Linux.
I'm looking to port app restores - mostly game saves - from my old phone to the Droid Turbo. I've used Helium in the past but I can't get the Turbo to connect to Windows 7 yet. I've been trying to use the drivers linked from the Helium URL and here, but without success.
Anyone have luck tracking down USB drivers?
Any suggestions other than Helium?
Update:
Looks like the Motorola drivers started working as soon as I posted this (of course...).
This one was driving me nuts the last two days. On Win8.1 x64, the driver wouldn't auto-load when the device was plugged in. Until I saw your edit reason, I didn't even think to go through the manual device list and select the driver manually. "ADB Interface/Mot Composite ADB Interface" worked for me, as well.
Also, if you change your USB Storage mode on the phone, it may also change how the ADB Interface is detected. I had to manually add the ADB Interface driver a second time when I turned on MTP mode for the USB Storage connection. I had had it previously disabled while trying to figure out the ADB issues, once I had ADB working, I re-enabled MTP and subsequently Windows "forgot" the ADB device driver again.
For others: I had to go through the device manager, pick the unknown adb device and update drivers, pick drivers, select the clockworkmod section on the left and instead of mot composite I had to use the first option, android composite adb interface. Now my mtp connection works. Haven't tried reconnecting yet so it may well forget the drivers again, but at least I know what to do now!
Need the drivers from google sdk kit. Just google search installing adb drivers. I used helium fine.
