Ok I am running firmware version: 1.5,kernel version: 2.6.27--533ce29 I downloaded drivers from softpedia (google search) and copied them into C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64 downloaded the newest version of HTC Sync and restart my computer to make sure it would work but it doesn't. The option form the drop down menu doesn't show up no charge only option nothing..... I would appreciate any help. I have searched high and low this is very annoying.... thanks!
99% of the time this is a configuration issue due to incompatible drivers. See the HTC Hero drivers thread.

I HAVE SEARCHED AND THIS WAS NOT POSTED IN ANY DREAM FORUM, SO DELETING ISN'T NECESSARY. Also if you are going to delete another one of my threads PM me why it was necessary.
Now then. I recently bricked my G1 after losing root and trying to regain it. I was sent a new one and everything is peachy (I have root and a flashy new build) but adb will not recognize the device. Could this be because it's a new device? Considering it worked with the old one. Any help would be appreciated. And for the record I have the newest radio and spl.
uninstall the drivers, the dream adb interface and the usb composite device associated with the phone. unplug the phone, download the 1.5 compatable drivers, plug the phone back in and you should be golden. if that doesnt work, check the adb guide in the development forum. theres about 50 pages of troubleshooting in there.
I understand everything you are saying but I have a couple of questions. First, it always baffled me how to figure out which composite device went with what usb device in DM. Also, I was not aware there was a different set of drivers for 1.5 devices and where might I find a link. And thanks for the help.
Just look under ADB Interface (under Device Manager) and uninstall any drivers under there. Then once that is done, plug in your device and wait for the new device window to pop up. Once there, select to browse for the driver and navigate to the USB drivers that come with the Android SDK. Once you have selected the correct folder, uncheck show only compatible devices on the window and it should show 3 different drivers. Select HTC Dream. Install the drivers and everything should be just peachy again. Good luck.
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.

in english please? I can't understand HOW you are doing this... I am trying to flash a HTC Desire S with Android ICS (latest from htcdev WWE) and it connects fine, but when I get to "Waiting for Bootloader........" it does that for a minute, then says "Error [171] USB Connection Error" The phone shows the HTC logo with black screen. My laptop says "USB Device Not Recognized" too and it fails. What can I do to fix this? I have installed the ADB and SDK also the HTC drivers and HTC Sync, tried everything please help

I'm not sure if this applies to HTC Desire S... this was meant to be used for HTC Tattoo (HTC Click)

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
ive tried everything i can think of.. my computer will not detect my driver for my nexus so i can use adb... can anyone help?
did u already try following step 2 in here?

Are you using the sdk or did you just install the available driver? I played hell getting the driver to fly with the sdk. Downloaded the driver seperately and connected the phone in usb debugging then navigated to the phone in device manager and pointed it at the driver manually.
windows 7 needs TWO separate drivers, not just the one that you can find in the tools folder that comes from modaco. the second driver can be found in the sdk, which you will have to get from the android developers site.
there are a number of threads about this. look for them
Download the sdk from the android developer site, then download the driver through the update function.
Install droid explorer and Android commander .
both will help you or even setup everything for you .
i have no problems with my nexus one on my theree versions of windows 7 (ultimate, enterprise and home premium) and completed the setup within 30 minutes using both mentioned above
Be sure that Debugging is checked under Settings/Applications/Development
I'm trying to use PDANet and when I go to plug in my Android G1 it installs as an HTC Dream instead of it being recognized as a android phone. My phone installs as an mass storage but the device driver won't install for the android phone. PLEASE HELP!!!

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'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
