It probably shows up as an HTC DREAM because...., hmm, let me think...
PROBABLY because THATS WHAT IT IS!!!!!
It is indeed a HTC dream; T-mobile just rebranded it T-mobile G1.
I downloaded the drivers via the Android SDK(google it; can't post links).
If you unpack it, you can choose to download drivers when running SDKsetup.exe (and a lot more which you won't need unless you're experimenting/developing). These drivers will be in the folder "unpack folder\drivers" in which "unpack folder" the folder is where sdksetup.exe is. Select this folder as a source for drivers and windows will install the drivers.
You don't need to use PDANET to use it though; android has a normal feature for that.

I need a bit of help installing my Android G1 USB drivers included in the Android SDK.
When I attach my Android G1 to my pc, it doesn't ask to search for drivers to install. I believe it automatically installs the drivers, as I see "HTC Android Phone USB Device" in device manager. Though that shows up, when I check for attached devices via ADB "adb.exe included in sdk ( SDK\Tools\adb,exe )", it doesn't list my device.
What should I do from there?
PS: Is there any other application that I need? Is eclipse required.
Note: My Android G1 is unactivated ( I am trying to activate without Sim or data plan [ Via Wi-Fi I guess? ])
You need to go to the development option and check on USB Debugging, but I think you your problem is you have to download the android_usb_windows.zip for adb to see your device.
I have the USB Drivers, the issue is probably the fact that I don't have eclipse.
Maybe I should download it, yes?
{{ What ver. of Eclipse? Java EE or Java? }}
Eclipse is not required. Heck, the full sdk is not even required. There is a zip file floating around that is just adb.exe and adbwin.dll. Works fine.
In that case, how do I enable Device debugging.
I downloaded the SDK (includes adb)
where should I set the usb drivers and how do I enable them?
settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging

what instructions are you following?
go under device manager and check under universal serial bus controllers...its prolly listed under usb mass storage device. you gotta go find the correct one and install the drivers manually. also you gotta type in that setprop.blah blah nonsense on your g1 and the computer will recognize it. check the ADB setup for dummies thread

thankful.
i finish it following as u said.
but what reason?
After I started using my Win 7 system, I had to do the whole process of updating and flashing my device. After like 3 hours going back and fourth to find the solution, I found it is a pretty strange way. In a place where I would never have thought before:
The problem is about Drivers.
I've found there are two type of drivers:
1. ADB/Bootloader interfaces (usb_drivers we download from Android SDK). This are useful in the first part of the HOWTO since we need to run some ADB commands. This might be also useful during the rooting process
2. MyHTC drivers (both boot and standard). This are the basic HTC drivers for using with several software like HTC Sync AND for flashing phone. This are installed during the HTC Sync installation process.
How to know which driver is using at each time?
Under Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> We might find a driver called Android Phone.
1. With the phone in the Start menu into it we might see either:
a) ADB Interface
b) My HTC
2. If we go into the bootloader (rebooting device, volume down + power button) we might see
a) Bootloader
b) My HTC
If we need to FLASH, the we need in both parts My HTC
If we see anything else, we need to update the driver. Just by going into properties of the driver, Controller, Updating Controller -> Find Controller into the PC -> Select from the list of controllers of this PC -> Use Disk and we must look for the HTC Driver that is installed during the HTC Sync Installation process (Normally this is into Program Files-> HTC -> HTC Driver).
Finally we can update the driver by selecting the My HTC one from the list.
This worked perfectly for me, and make me discover this issue that may help some people. I write this as a complement for my guide for flashing to make it wider and more complete: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having this issue with a friends HTC Legend.

What do you mean exactly by going into the properties of the driver? (Win 7 64bit)
Thanks.

Ah I see. Any idea how I could probably fix this? I'm using Windows 8 and I have scoured XDA and the internet for 29 hours straight for answers and turned up empty. I have no MicroSD card to perform the update using the PB99xx.zip method and all other methods are useless. I just want a straight-forward RUU update for my phone but can't seem to do it without that silly Error 170/171 and USB Device Not Recognized errors
I'm using dReWs Ginger Faux ICS Rom (first rom in my sig) and its been mounting fine until a few days ago. When they're both connected by the usb cable, i get the notification if i want to copy files to/from the pc, so i click that and i get to the option to turn on the mass storage thing, so i press okay to that and at first it's a green android, then when it's done, its orange. The thing is, that when it claims to be mounted as a disc drive, i check my computer and it's not showing up. I checked the devices and printers menu and it shows up as android phone, so i tryed to update the driver for it but apparently it is already. I also have "HTC BMP USB Driver" installed as well as "HTC Driver Installer". I had them installed since i was using htc sync but i'm not anymore. Should i uninstall them? Lemme know if you can help, thanks.
If you need more info, just let me know...
Edit- sigh...
Can someone help me? Or should i go to the Windows 7 forum instead?
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.
