for the past 18 months I have been able to access my G1 via USB. I could mount it easily and ADB was set up correctly. for some reason this week, it stopped working. now when I plus it in, I get the "USB Not Recognized" error in XP, and my device no longer shows up as an adroid phoen in Device Mgr. It now says unknown device.
I have tried updating the driver with no luck.
Any ideas would be great,
Thanks
Something similar happened to me. After trying to mess around with Live Wallpapers and DroidExplorer, my phone doesn't show up. I get the "Error: Device not found".
I have the latest USB driver, but yet device manager keeps saying that it's up to date when I try to reinstall (however under Driver Details, Vista says the location of the drivers are on System32 and they're Microsoft drivers....)
Edit: after searching Google for answers, I stumbled on a Google Group and found that someone fixed their issue (similar to mine) by installing HTC Sync. I did, and voila! ADB works again.

OUTSTANDING!! That did it. Thanks a bunch, and thanks for the link!
fixed for real now
So the above didn't do it for me, here's what I did:
download and extract USBDeview
Open it up and remove the 3 or 4 entries that say "android phone"
Unlplug (if its plugged into USB) your phone and replug it in, the "found new hardware" window should pop up and be sure to install the drivers that came with the SDK.
That took care of my USB mounting situation, but I still couldn't get adb or fastboot to see my device. Turns out I had adb.exe and fastboot.exe in my WINDOWS/System32 folder as well as in the SDK/tools folder (prolly from when I updated the SDK). Having them in 2 spots seemed to cause problems so I removed them from the SDK/Tools folder. Alternatively I could have removed the other set, but I didn't want to go to my SDK folder every time to use them, this way I can access ADB from any folder on my computer.
This is all from memory so if something's not clear, lemme know. All I know is ADB and Fastboot are working now.
Hey all, I hope this is the right forum.
I installed the Samsung Drivers on Windows 7 x64 and attempted to install the google Android SDK drivers. I managed to get ADB working, my phone is in debug mode and I've managed to do a lot of cool things and run linux commands with BusyBox. Problem is though, windows keeps screwing it up, so currently "adb devices" will not always show my device, even if I have debug on and such. The phone says USB connected when I plug it in, but after a couple minutes, windows says something to the effect of "Could not install USB Device" or "One of these devices has malfunctions, windows does not recognize it". And in device manager, I cannot seem to get it installed under PCI devices like most guides say, it installs under USB. This sux
I apologize if this is the wrong place, if so, I would be happy if a moderator could move this.
Please note, I think adb was just disconnecting and the solution was simply to type in...
adb connect 127.0.0.1
Thanks
I I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. I did a couple of searches without finding an answer.
I can not get my MotoX to be a recognized device via adb. I am running Windows8 and I'm trying to get adb access to my ATT MotoX (DAMN, I wish I had a dev verstion!).
- It shows up under "other devices" as XT1058.
- It will not show up as an adb device in win8 device manager.
- I have tried different usb cables with the same result (and, different usb ports)
- I have changed the settings on Win8 to allow unsigned drivers.
- I have installed Moto Device Manager - didn't help.
- I have installed the Universal Naked drivers and "latest_usb_drivers_windows"
- I have uninstalled the device in device manager and de-selected/selected usb de-bugging and still comes up under "other devices"
- I have entered the Windows/Inf folder and deleted several inf files in an attempt to remove references to other drivers to get win8 to access the correct ones... hasn't worked so far....
Can someone please assist me in getting this thing recognized via adb?
I know fastboot is a separate issue - but, I can access fastboot so I'm fairly certain it is not a hardware issue (cable/port/etc).
------------------------------------------
Ok, I entered the folder Windows/Inf and opened up every single "oemN" file (N being the number following "oem") and deleted every file which had Android drivers... I then re-installed the Moto drivers and it worked...
Now, it says the device is "offline" - I need to research how to change THAT!
--------------------------------------
Ok, solved the "offline" issue... Updated the adb in "platform-tools" manually to 1.0.31
This caused the MotoX to FINALLY provide the pop up window to verify access to my computer's identity (which it refused to do previously).
Used this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1724500&d=1360704125
and copy/pasted the zip contents into the "platform-tools" folder to update the adb files.
Hello
Im brand new to Android and adb/fastboot.
I have looked at tutorials on youtube all day, and for everybody else their devices just pops up when you type adb devices.
I get nothing
I have done it correctly, because I get all the commands when I type adb/fastboot.
Im running windows8, could that be the problem?
Do I need some kind of extra USB drivers for my google glasses?
I do find my glasses as a camera tho.
EDIT:
So after watching a few more tutorials I understood my problem. Its windows8 usb drivers thats not correct.
I have tried to install correct drivers and edit the .ini files that need editing, but now I encountered a new problem.
Windows wont let me install correct usb drivers for google glass.
When I have device manager open, windows have already installed them as “Portable device – Glass1″
I click uninstall and they disaper from my device list, once I click “scan for new hardware” I can see that they reapper on my device list as other devices. Within 2sec windows autoinstall them as “portable device -glass1″ again.
So I try “update driver software” but this dont work either, I select the correct file and path, but I keep getting this message “windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date”.
Im running windows8.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT2:
As far as all the tutorial movies tell me to disable driver signing I have done so.
If all of the adb commands were working, then chances are you need to enable debugging on your Glass. Settings >> Device info >> Turn on debug
Update:
The way to bypass windows8 and installing usb drivers, is that I need to use the option "Have Disk" and then install usb drivers that way.
All works fine now.
Longtime reader, firsttime caller. I've read as much as I can and searched for a solution, but haven't found one yet.
I have a new Pixel 7 and am trying to install LineageOS following the official instructions. I've successfully worked through the initial steps through flashing custom recovery. However, when I start on installing LineageOS from recovery, I run into a problem that after the factory reset I'm unable to sideload LineageOS because adb doesn't recognize the phone. (I can still see it in fastboot, but not with adb.)
I believe that this is a driver problem, because the phone shows up in Device Manager with a triangle.
I initially installed the drivers from here. After I discovered the problem, I also tried the universal drivers from here. Neither of these has seemed to work.
What would you suggest for what I should try next?

You should download the official Google drivers.

I believe that I did that, but I just tried it again. I downloaded the driver package from here. I then installed them following these instructions. The result is the same: my device shows up in fastboot (if I type 'fastboot devices' I see it, and it shows up in Device Manager), but if I boot into recovery it doesn't show up - 'adb devices' show nothing, and it's not visible in Device Manager.
Is there another driver set that I should try? Or is there something else I can do to make progress with fastboot working?

Which version of platform-tools do you have? You should only be using v33.03. I would also encourage you to use the Pixel Flasher Thread 'PixelFlasher for Google Pixel 7 Support Thread.' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixelflasher-for-google-pixel-7-support-thread.4505289/

I suggest you follow the advice I gave and the other member ended up doing quoted below from another thread (his experience is fairly similar to yours and/or achieving the same things would get to the same end result -- might be worth reading through the whole thing) -- it seemed to work out for him...
simplepinoi177 said:
So, the first thing you need to do is see what is the device being identified as in Device Manager -- it easily could be "Unknown Device" or even identified as something totally different & wrong (Samsung android device, MTP device, etc.). Regardless, it NEEDS to be identified as Android Composite ADB Interface (and Android Bootloader Interface when in Bootloader Mode). When this was happening to many members in the main rooting thread on this forum, it was determined that you can't simply just "Uninstall" it, but you also need to "delete device driver" as well (if option is available)! Most users are able to simply install the driver and sometimes just have to point it to the Google USB Windows Driver folder (that I hope you followed the suggestions of the other members in this thread and got it proper from the source from Google's developer's website), but I suggest going beyond it and pointing the device driver (Update, Browse My computer for drivers, Let me pick from a list, have disk, and choose the .inf file) to the exact .inf file.

SOLVED! thanks especially to @simplepinoi177 for cracking the case!
In case someone has this same problem in the future, here's the solution:
1. Open device manager and locate the misbehaving driver. If it's not obvious, plug and unplug the USB cable and watch for the appearing and disappearing entry.
2. Right-click the driver > click properties from the drop-down menu > select the driver tab > driver details
3. To be safe, use the snipping tool or something to take a picture of the file directories. Before you change anything in a system file it's always good to keep a record of how things were, but also you'll need to know the directories for the next step.
4. Unplug the device from the computer. As the directory list vanishes, use the screenshot to locate the .dll files.
5. Again to be safe, don't just delete the .dll files; instead just cut and paste into a backup folder somewhere. Also save the screenshot of the directories in the same folder, so you will know where to put them back if you need to. I didn't, and who knows, maybe I could be overcautious, but best practices and whatnot
6. Open device manager and again plug your android in. This time the driver will probably have a different name. Locate it as you did in step 1.
7. Right-click and select "uninstall device." Tick the box and say OK
8. Unplug the phone and reboot the phone and the computer both
9. Plug it back in
I have also determined the cause of my problem: Drive Booster, a program designed to automatically update drivers. It's not an unsafe program, but it is bad at installing the correct driver. I uninstalled it.
Thanks again!

Why do you think fastboot and recovery are the same? I haven't been in recovery for a bit but fastboot is available once connected to the computer but is recovery mode supposed to as well? Don't make me go into recovery mode please. But I thought recovery mode was device only.
I'm using platform tools v34.0.1, and I worked through the steps simplepinoi177 suggested for the drivers. I then discovered that my problem was something very basic: I was mistakenly using files for a Pixel 7 Pro instead of a Pixel 7 (my actual device). Once I flashed the correct boot, dbto, and recovery for my device, I was fine.
Apologies for the error, and thanks so much for the help. You all rock! And I will read up on Pixel Flasher.
