ADB Drivers

Hey everyone,
I have been happily using android on nand for quite sometime, and everything has been going well. However, I must have the wrong adb driver installed on my windows 7 computer and can't seem to remove it fully or install the proper one ever. Every time I remove it from device manager, and plug it back in, windows finds it as an HTC composite device, and adb through command line can't find any devices, ever! I would really like to be able to use this feature for things like tethering and what not.
Also, if anyone has any information on how to tether using any OS, windows, mac or linux, I would greatly appreciate it, along with any applications that might be helpful! I have done proxoid in the past and it worked well, pdaNet looks like it might work, but again I don't have a connection to my windows computer!
Thanks in advance for all of the help!

I am using the android SDK usb driver for ADB, you just have to edit a file and add the vendor ID. I can do things like adb logcat, adb shell gives me odd characters in directory listings,I get a ? from adb devices, not sure what that is about.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android\adb_usb.ini
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x0e79
0x0bb4
The 0e79 is for my Archos tablet, works fine there. 0bb4 is what showed up in device manager when I plugged in the phone.

I tried to install that driver for my Polaris and it doesn't work.
It shows "Installing Android Phone" while I have my device plugged in. It takes forever and seems that the USB connection hangs the driver install process, but as soon as I disconnect my device, Windows shows me an error message.

Instructions for Vista\Windows 7
For WinVista/Win7
These OS will install Android as a mass storage device. You must uninstall the driver and update to the android driver model.
Instructions:
1) Unplug all removable devices(thumb drive, sdcards, etc) beside the Android phone.
2) Locate "Device Manager", usually under "control panel"
3) Select "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
4) Select USB Mass Storage Device.
Note: to check if you have the correct device, click on the details tab and select "compatible ids" under properties. There should be three items listed under value.
5) Select uninstall driver
6) Close the window. Now in device manager a new "Android Phone USB device" with a yellow! will appear... If not, Unplug your android device or select Action -> Scan.
Note: view optional steps below if you still have problem with the your windows automatically installing drivers.
7) Click on the "Android Phone USB device"
8) Select "browse my computer to driver software"
9) Under "search this location for driver", Browse for the location that you have unzip the android_usb_windows and select the corresponding folder for your system(AMD64 for 64bit systems or x86 for 32bit systems. Right click -> properties on "My Computer" to check which system you have)
The driver is now installed and is ready to use.r
***Optional.
1. Go to System under Control Pandel.
2. Click on Hardware Tab and Under "Device Installation" select “Never search windows update for drivers”, then OK.
3. Go to Enable debugging on your phone. (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging).
4. Run USBDeview and remove all instances of Android Phone
5. Unplug your phone, and plug it in again.
7. Continue on step 7) above.
To turn off search windows update in windows 7, use this link below

To turn off automatic driver installation in windows 7, use the link below

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Polaris. The whole driver installation process hangs while my device is connected. As soon as i disconnect it, it continues, but it then complaints about it being disconnected.

mine hung as well, what i ended up doing was turnng off the automatic installation. Then uninstalled the adb interface driver that was already installed. Then turning back on automatic installation. Then plugging phone back in and as it was installing automatically, manually installing the adb interface driver at the same time. Eventally the automatic install would error out and the manual install would work. It took like 15 or 20 minutes for it to finish.
when i uninstalled the adb interface, it turned into ''android phone'' in device manager. That was the driver i manually installed while the phone was automatically installing. I know it dont make much sense but it worked for me.

It looks like that will be my fate as well. It also says, that when I do the manual install of the ADB drivers that I already have the most current version installed!!! OH well, keep trying!

Same behavior on my pc with windows 7 32-bits.
When I have lucky the adb driver is connected (working correctly) for a few minutes and then it's disconnected.

i've tried various things to install adb driver, since last night but i've got nothing. i can't install adb driver for my xperia arc.
i installed sdk manager and usb driver. but when i try to install or update driver, i always see this message like "you're using the latest version". So i can't install it.
and also i've tried to uninstall driver and unplugged / plugged my device. then w7 automatically install driver. so i can't install adb driver again.
i want to root my phone, using this way at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560
so i must install adb driver, please help me.
thanks everybody
edit: i've windows 7 home premium, 64-bits

[Q] windows driver issues for vivid

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

[Q] Can't install driver for HTC One M7 on Win7 x64

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.

Cannot Get Drivers Installed for Windows 8.1 - Manual Installation or SDK

I cannot possibly figure out what the heck is causing my Windows 8.1 Installation to not detect my Nexus 6. Google comes up with TONS of results for this issue, but all troubleshooting points to what I have already done.
Plug it in, comes up as "Nexus 6" under "Other Devices" in Device Manager. With the little Yellow ! mark.
Downloaded the USB drivers from here - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html attempted to install them and I get an error message. After selecting the folder that contains the driver.
"Windows was unable to install your Nexus 6: Windows could not find the driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software"
What I have Tried:
- Installing Drivers with USB Debugging ON and OFF
- Installing Drivers with Connection set to MTP and PTP on the phone
- Disabled Driver Signature Enforcement and attempted to install.
- Downloading Drivers a second time to ensure no corruption was in the file.
- Attempted to install via Android SDK (This appears to work per SDK software, but Device Manager shows no change, and the nexus isnt showing up in Explorer.)
- Tested Nexus on another Device. (Running Windows 7. Literally Plug and play No manual Installation needed. Worked)
I'm at total Loss here, Any other Ideas?

@morbid_bean,
Did you try the Motorola Device Manager >https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that seems to have done nothing

I'd go w/ uninstall all other drivers first, change cables and see what happens.

Try this:
1) Download the driver from the link in your post, and unzip the files to any location;
2) Open Device Manager on your PC and turn on the option to "Show hidden devices" from the View menu;
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
4) With USB Debugging set to OFF, plug your device into your PC. Windows should automatically install the MTP driver and It should be recognized;
5) Now turn USB Debugging ON;
6) Go back into Device Manager, right click on your device and select "Update driver software";
7) Select "Browse my computer...", NOT "Search automatically...";
8) Click "Browse", and locate the driver you downloaded in step 1.
EDIT: I don't think you have to disable Driver Signature Enforcement, but if it gives you issues, try disabling it.

I understand. OP has diagnosed his problem as drivers, but if his problem is ADB not connecting to his N6, it could be the problem. As I said, it's a long shot.

OP Here with a status update.
Continued to try some other suggestions. Such as another Cable, another USB port, reboots. Hell I seriously went as far as a whole Windows 8.1 Re-install. I had some feeling that possibility because I am rooted its causing issues; so I even went as far as taking my old Nexus 4 and reverted it to 100% stock to attempt to install the drivers and then trying the nexus 6. But I got same results.

When I follow these steps I was successfully able to install drivers for something called "Android Composite ADB Interface"; "MTP" or "Nexus 6" was still failing. Even after switching debugging on. I still unfortunately do not see anything in Explorer that I can access the Nexus 6's files. Maybe this is an indicator that I am getting closer?

When I installed Android SDK, it told me I needed JDK before proceeding with the installation. So I'm pretty sure I did this.

I just realized that the last part on my step 3 was cut off. It should read:
3) Right click on EVERY item that could potentially relate to your device (e.g., adb interface, composite interface, motorola, nexus, etc.) and uninstall, including deleting the driver.
As far as your issue, I'm pretty sure that Windos recognizes the N6 as an MTP device (assuming you have it on MTP) without any additional drivers, so I'm not sure what the problem is. My steps were to get the ADB driver installed, which seems to have worked. (ADB allows you access to your files via command line...)

FIXED IT!
I am running a version of Windows 8.1 known as Windows 8.1 Pro N Essentially this is a slightly stripped down version and does not include "Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker" I managed to get this copy really cheap.
More Info Here
So essentially I needed to download THIS Pack/Update which gave me these special features. Including the resolution of my Driver Problem. Rebooted the computer plugged in my phone and it was detected and installed drivers automatically.
Special Credit to THIS thread for helping me with the answer. I hope this can be added to any Driver Installation Guide or Sticky to assist others that may come across this problem.

Glad you got it resolved. I've never heard of Pro N. Another wrinkle in the Windows 8.1 driver issues, it seams.

Recently I have been deving on a friends nexus 6 with 5.1.1 on it all drivers are installed properly device shows in adb i even get adb root successful but it refuses to adb remount for testing purposes even on roms that have modified boot.img's with init.d in them and ro.secure=0 set and adb persistance is also set so there is no reason for it not to mount. I imagine there could be a problem with it mounting system on boot but I am new to aosp 5.1.1 roms and this solution did not work for me it tells me the windows 8.1 version I'm running is not applicable for this update? So if anyone can lend some assistance it would be much appreciated.
The Nexus 6 is VZW unlocked bootloader and rooted twrp recovery all the latest
currently any rom i try i cant mount through adb so testing for themes is impossible?

Yup that didnt work either. I get su in adbshell it shows me # so there is su i just dont get why it wont mount at all or pull or push obviously cant do that if it won't mount. And no tutorial I've followed nor solution has worked thus far. As stated above that solution worked for him with windows media center or whatever but that doesnt apply to me. I've done this hundreds of times with many many many devices on windows 7 I've even done it with 3 devices on 8.1 so far no problems this is the only one to give me issues like this.
It's always a bit of messing around with it to get it to work but this is different i have spent hours going back and forth removing all drivers installing new ones using tools etc.

Please Help: Device Enumeration Failed Windows 10

This is actually a whole issue other then that. I should start by saying I'm usually very good at flashing roms to stock but I recently screwed up. I'm running windows 10, my HBoot is 1.44, Cingular HTC One M7. I recently sold the phone, and upgraded to the newest version of Android Revolution. Everything was running great, moved my pictures to my computer.
The next part is where I guess I screwed up? My computer was reading the phone until I went into TWRP and formatted the Internal Storage trying to rid the rest of the files on my device before I ship it. I've done this before on my Nexus 6 with no issues.
Next thing I know the phone won't boot past the HTC screen, not a boot loop per say just stuck on the screen. Windows is reading the device and saying the "Device Enumeration Failed" thus making it so I can't sideload through ADB or run a RUU file or anything. Can boot into TWRP, can boot into fastboot and bootloader. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers to no avail.
If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it greatly.

What is your HTC listed as in Device manager when connected to your pc?
It may just be that you borked the drivers when you formatted the phone. In which case reinstalling the drivers won't help. You need to point device manager the driver you want it to use.
Try this
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install the latest :good:

Thanks for the reply. It comes up as Generic USB Device or something similar, I'm not home right now to check honestly. I've tried uninstalling all HTC drivers and reinstalling and plugging my phone back in and pointing it to the location of the "Updated" drivers I've found on the forum but it still reads Device Enumeration Failed. A warning message does come up when I plug the phone in saying the device has malfunctioned and can't be read or something along those lines as well.

Okay so I got the device to boot into the ROM but bow system UI keeps crashing and I'm not able to access the internal SD card to transfer files to it. Any suggestions?

Have you any experience with Linux? That should cure the device enumeration error, since Linux doesn't require drivers for android devices.
Then you can use adb in recovery to repair the sd storage.
You can also do Format Data in twrp. But this will wipe the entire device including the Rom, so you will still need to sideload or something to get a Rom installed.
