USB connection problems! [solved]

Ok I spent a few days searching and I just can't seem to find anyone with the same problem!
I got a used T-mobile G1, can't bypass the activation screen (touching the 4 corners in the a certain order doesn't work, believe me i tried!) so I thought of installing the recovery through adb, except adb doesn't see it!
The only thing i see in Device manager or usbdeview is "HTC Android Phone Device" "K:\" under Portable Devices. I cannot update it to the Google drivers, not from here or from the SDK. I tried un-installing it, from device manager and from usbdeview.
I thought it might have been the data cable, so I ordered another one from a different seller off of ebay.
I think i should note that when in fastboot mode, pluging in the usb does not change where it says Serial0 to anything else. I would of thought it change to USB if cable is connected like the older HTC devices.
What am I doing wrong? You're help is appreciated.

Follow this guide, it should help you fix your problem.

Thanks for the reply. But I already tried this guide, every step.
First, this phone doesn't have a custom recovery, so I can't do any fastboot updates.
Second, windows does not accept replacing the HTC Android Phone USB Device with the usb drivers from the guide. It just says "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver...". I'm using 64bit Win7 so obviously I'm using the 64 bit drivers. I tried 3 different downloads from different sites just to be sure the drivers weren't corrupt. The other odd thing is that the HTC ANdroid Phone USB Device is under Disk Drivers in the device manager...
Third, I tried uninstalling using USBDeview, but still Windows automatically installs drivers back as soon as i replug.
Fourth, I cannot bypass the Activation screen, so I can't set USB to debuggin mode.
I know it's hard to suspect that it could be the cable, but I ordered another one from different site just in case.
Most peeps say I should see 3 HTC devices in the device manager, but I don't. Only thing that pops up in there is HTC Android Phone USB Device under Disk drivers and "K:\" under Portable Devices.

Got another cable today and it still doesn't show any other device other then the one in Device Manager... I ran of out of things to try. Anyone can advise? It's possible that my device is defective even though it boots normally.

After playing around for a few days, ended up somehow rooting and flashing Amon's latest recovery and then BAM windows detected new device and install the ADB interface.

[Q] HTC One fastboot devices returns blank

Short story: can't get identifier token, stuck on "waiting for device".
Hi everyone I have scanned around and feel confident I have a unique or difficult situation trying to root my HTC One. I have the phone drivers installed, the latest 4.1.0.001 msi to be precise, and the phone responds more or less to the computer when it's in Android. So the issue is with fastboot state, for which I tried the normal HTC drivers, then other drivers I was able to find for Fastboot around XDA, and finally the Universal Naked Driver which supports HTC One for ADB. I am able to use the command adb reboot-fastboot and then I return a blank list from the command adb devices or fastboot devices. I have PDA net on the phone, and have it set to "connect automatically". There is a sign that something is awry when I plug the phone up to the PC and PDAnet immediately returns "can't connect, HTC Sync Error = -1". I went into windows and allowed unsigned drivers for ADB, and uninstalled other drivers, deleted files, and rebooted each time I switched drivers in attempt to get a response from the phone in Fastboot.
usb debugging is enabled. In fastboot, the Universal Naked driver returns the following error:
Port_#0004.Hub_#0003
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Btw Universal Naked Driver seems to be the MOST functional returning a lot of info about the device, and the second driver I dl'ed was apparently for HTC One X and didn't work at all.
Shortcuts I have taken: yeah I didn't install the entire android SDK I just got the package off XDA and also tried Hasoon's solution. I didn't install the entire large HTC Sync app either, but I don't think either of these are required.
Basically on my ATT htc one, I will never get this thing unlocked if it is REFUSING to recognize the device while it's in Fastboot, halting the process by making a bootloader unlock impossible.
Plz help and I won't return it for an S4!! I don't wanna. A beer to he who saves me the trip back to ATT store.

i would say you havent installed the drivers. best thing to download to get your HTC one to recognize in any mode is the HTC sync manager. i know its kinda annoying but the phone will get recongized in every mode and the initial plug in just requires a few minutes to detect, download, and install the drivers.

I did try the "stripped" HTC One drivers found here on XDA.. I mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396 seems pretty straightforward!
But yes at this point in the game why not give the full bloatware a try, thx

are you using the all in one toolkit? i have also found that installing the htc sync software helped alot of people with driver problems

Is your phone actually in fastboot mode?

Gave it a shot; my win 8 laptop still has no ability to recognize the phone in device manager with HTC BMP, Sync Manager, or HTC Driver Installer.. which are the the 3 related programs I've installed.
The HTC driver recognizes the device (while in Fastboot) as My HTC, while the Universal Naked Driver calls it something different I believe, but neither are working to allow adb or fastboot to list the device, and both drivers have the same error as to why the device can't start: "a request for the USB BOS descriptor failed"

Hey Ben Pope thanks for asking, yes it's in the white screen saying ***LOCKED*** in pink at the top. And yes I get into fastboot by adb reboot-bootloader most of the time because it's easier than the button pressing (which I've done also).
One weird thing I did notice is that "FASTBOOT" is shown with a red background when the device goes into the mode, however if I use the volume up/dn buttons and navigate, the text changes to "FASTBOOT USB", and persists that way until it's re-booted. Don't know if that matters, but at least if it's totally abnormal, there could be something funky going on in the firmware.
Thanks.

I tried Hasoon's toolkit but because it calls fastboot oem getidentifiertoken or whatever it is, the result is "waiting for device" which stops the process in its tracks even while the phone is in the white screen, where it got from responding to the prior command the toolkit sent which I believe is adb reboot-bootloader.
Currently I installed the 48mb "stripped" sync software from the link a few posts prior; do you think I should go with the non-stripped version?

when it says waiting for device you have to close that cmd screen and if your phone says fastboot usb it will start but you have to manually close the first window

hey SkinsFan, I tried the thread here and downloaded the ADB drivers to replace my Android 1.0 device. Other than those new drivers, I had done a lot of those steps. However, the PC says "The third party INF does not contain digital signature information", and rejects the ADB drivers linked from there, despite already allowing unsigned drivers in Windows settings.
Actually now I can't re-install the "naked driver" and matters are worse because the PC is now saying a hash file is missing for them, despite being installed an hour ago. So I guess I'll restart and try again, possibly unistalling HTC Sync since it was the new addition.
as far as closing the cmd window, this isn't doing anything to make the device recognized by the PC and it isn't therefore showing in adb devices or fastboot devices.
Still working on it thanks!

when your phone is in bootloader does it say fastboot usb at the top?
i think the links for drivers are for samsung devices he said its copied from his other thread. you need to get drivers from somewhere else

As I said, after "adb reboot-bootloader", left untouched, it says "FASTBOOT", but when I use a volume key to navigate just one click, it changes its tune to "FASTBOOT USB". I don't know whats going on with that ...
The samsung drivers are there but I believe Android ADB interface drivers can be universal , not sure, but now can't get back my Naked driver! working on that now

Sorry for the very slow reply. Unfortunately, we won't know why HTC didn't play nicely with my Lenovo/Win8 laptop. However, I was quick to try a different older netbook I had lying around. At first, nothing happened, and I got used to the Sense UI enough to tolerate it.
But, I couldn't wifi tether and a few other unacceptable details, so I tried again last week with the same netbook that didn't seem to work the first time, and voila! Flawless. Maybe a reboot of that kicked it into gear, but both ADB and Fastboot were recognizing the HTC as a specific device, as opposed to the lenovo which found a ghost device with no name.
I am guessing too many android devices were installed and in the registry as USB devices, disorienting the PC, even though they were uninstalled, perhaps their drivers lingered as shared drivers. In theory I had S3 S4, HTC, possibly S2 and Motorola drivers all present.
The key is, keep the drivers on a folder on your phone with adb fastboot etc, and try a couple diff laptops. You'll know it worked when the device is recognized via "devices" with its unique number in both adb and fastboot.
Now running Revolution HD Google Play after trying CM 10.2 and Revolution HD Sense. CM did not work very smoothly with a lot of force crashes (navigation and music) and I can strongly recommend RevolutionHD google play edition.
Beware though, the first wipe takes out all the contacts and pictures etc, unfortunately, because I thought they would be spared.

Fastboot Drivers

Hey guys I unlocked my boot loader and rooted once then I un-rooted and re-locked the boot-loader and now I am trying to do it again but I am having a problem. When I have my phone connected in debugging mode it shows up fine, I can use the code "adb devices" and it shows up but then when I load into the boot loader and go into fastboot and connect my phone to my computer Windows 8 says that it can not recognize the device this is on USB 2.0 it also says "device failed enumeration". On USB 3.0 I get a message that says "The device cannot start code 10". I have un-installed and then re-installed the sync manager and mulitple drivers to no avail. Please help.

Help
Anyone?

I had this before. It's a glitch I think but after keep trying I finally got it to work and really I don't know how to fix it.
What's your hboot version? Battery full? Try a different computer? Have a linux live cd?

Well lets kinda rule things out. It shouldn't be your computer hardware or fastboot files because you tried this on multiple computers. Now what drivers are you using on each computer? Did you tried other micro usb cords? What shape is your micro usb slot on your device (looking at mine right now its kinda dirty)?
Complete those and it should tell you if its a connection problem or not. Otherwise we can partially assume its the software on your phone.

I have been using drivers that didn't seem to work(some that I got off some thread here) but those didn't work so I uninstalled those and then uninstalled and then re-installed HTC Sync. I have used three different cables and my micro usb slot seems to be in fine condition it doesn't seem to be that dirty.

Ok so with one laptop when I have my phone in debugging mode and are in the sense OS the phone is detected using the code "adb devices" but when I go to the bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode it is unrecognized. On my other laptop it is recognized in fastboot using the code "fastboot devices". I have not used the clear cache yet I will try it later.

Have you updated your firmware? If so, make sure your sdk is the latest version.
Use usb 2.0, usb 3.0 is known to cause problems.
Un-install htc sync but not the drivers.
Before attempting commands, eject htc sync drive from My PC.
Let me know how you get on.

Ok, my firmware is 1.26.502.12 which I believe is the latest for AT&T, I've switched from USB 3.0 to 2.0 still not working in fastboot. I re-installed the SDK yesterday so I don't think there should be an update. I have un-installed HTC sync but not HTC Driver Installer and still after doing all of this the device shows up when it is in the OS but not in fastboot. Also when I reboot my device USB debugging keeps disabling itself.

Any updates to this? I'm running Windows 8, have the HTC drivers / Sync installed.. The phone connects fine while in Windows. But is unrecognized when the phone is in bootloader. This is driving me nuts. I do not have access to another PC. I'm sure someone has this working.
Edit: usb 3.0 ports working after following the plugable.com method for windows 8 usb 3 host controller fix.

Phone won't connect to HTC Sync or adb

Got my phone about a week ago & got pretty bored of it so I wanted to root it and get a different ROM going. For some reason, I can't get the phone to connect to HTC Sync Manager though I updated the drivers. Any time the phone is switched into USB debugging, My HTC drivers fail to install. I have no idea how to solve this problem. Also when trying to get the Token ID using the command prompt, the device doesn't show up after using the command adb devices either. Need help please.

In bootloader you should type fastboot devices not adb devices.
You can try this to get the drivers installed correctly
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good
Also try these drivers http://d-h.st/FXC

If the phone doesn't have USB debugging enabled, it doesn't appear in the device manager besides under portable devices. Once USB debugging is turned on, Android devices tab appears at the top but the drop down reads My HTC with the yellow triangle with ! on the inside indicating there's some sort of issue. I tried updating the drivers, uninstalling the drivers, restarting the phone and computer, then reinstalling the drivers but nothing has worked thus far. HTC Sync still isn't detecting the phone at all and I can't get the Token ID to continue the rooting process until the device is able to be detected.

Strangely enough, I literally just tried it on a different computer and everything worked exactly as it was supposed to. I had 3 computers in my home, none of which worked but got to work and the laptop they gave me worked just fine. Then I got on my gf's Mac and it went mostly smooth (even though it was difficult not being as familiar with the OS). My advice is do everything you're doing on a different computer until you see it without the ! in the device manager.

My experience may be helpful. I had no ADB driver, but Composite USB seemed to work. However, the driver install crashed. I needed to open my phone and answer the dialogs on my phone while the driver was installing. After that, everything is hunky-dorry (I know, showing my age).

I was having the same problem until I UNCHECKED the USB debugging mode and reconnected the phone to the computer. Drivers reinstalled and HTC Sync Manager (not HTC Sync--different program) recognized the phone. I had to answer dialogue on phone and then the USB debugging mode status changed itself to enabled. It's all working now, after hours of fiddling.

Device not found in adb sideload or recovery trying to install 5.1 otc

So i downloaded the sdk.... plugged in the phone windows installed the adb composite driver I open command prompt in the platform tools folder run adb devices yes it is there reboot the phone into recovery.... many times.... do adb devices... nothing shows up apply from adb no device.... I'm on windows 7 64 I'm pretty sure its a driver issue but I can't get it to recognize the phone in recovery.... everything is stock on the phone bootloader still locked ( wouldn't be able to do that either since yeah no adb action.... using the cable that came with the phone tried multiple ports..... maybe someone can explain how to install the driver so it works? right now in device manager it shows up as Android device then below that adb composite driver..... this part I understand sort of... was expecting to see nexus 6 but how would I know...... if anyone has the actual driver that works I would appreciate it
Installed motorola device manager for windows.. no difference..... edited the inf file from sdk .... no difference..... I'd try another computer but probably end up installing the same driver so no point there....
edit edit also removed every hint of the old samsung drivers since I came from s4 to nexus......

This is what I did.
When you get to the phone into recovery mode unplug the USB plug and then plug it back in again. Windows should search for the driver. When windows finishes open device manager. Look for the nexus 6 with the yellow icon. Follow the steps attached in the picture. Credit for the driver steps goes to wugfresh, steps obtained from his toolkit.

I will try wugfish to install the drivers and then see if I can use ADB after that.... I definitely did not have the device show up as nexus 6 in device manager other than the mtp part... pretty hard for that not to show up..... I'll give it a shot on Sunday unless the ota drops to the phone first.

A simple unplug and replug in fixes the issue...when you get to the adb point on the phone and you make sure the driver is installed on the computer correctly, simply unplug from the computer, replug in and continue

Had the same problem on a Win7 machine that I have used for several phones. Would see the device in ADB when full booted, see it in fastboot, but when in ADB sideload, could not see it. Turns out it was trying to use the Samsung ADB vs. Google/N6 driver for ADB. Had to do a lot of hoop jumping, deleting/changing drivers, but worked great after.

Can you explain exactly what you did? This is exactly what my N6 is doing. When the phone is on, under "Device Manager" it says "Samsung Android Phone - Android Composite ADB Interface". When in Bootloader it says it is a a "Samsung Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface" and I keep deleting the driver and trying to reinstall the default drivers from the SDK Manager but it just keeps loading as the damn Samsung.

I successfully installed the correct drivers.... Download wugfish for n6, at the top when its installed, there is a button in the middle to setup drivers, follow the instructions exactly and it will work. Of course before someone jumps on me, I do plan to sideload through command prompt....

I followed those instructions as well and it still registered as a Samsung Device. However, I did finally get it to work by going through my "Uninstall or change a program list" and removing a "Samsung Driver Installation" program I had installed for my wife's S4. Then I ran back through Wugfish's driver directions and sure enough, it finally registered as a standard Android device and not a damn Samsung.

I've tried on my Nexus 6, every time it goes to recovery mode it doesn't show up in device manager.
I've already unistalled all drivers, used the nexus root tool to reinstall the drivers, it doesn't matter. It works fine the first part when you need to use ADB to restart the device in bootloader mode, then you select recovery and nothing happens the device never shows up, so I can't install/uninstall any drivers because it simply doesn't display anywhere, wtf!

Did you try to disconnect and reconnect the USB while the phone was in recovery?

I don't know if this will solve your issues. When I was side loading the 5.1 update I couldn't get tmy win 7 machine to see the device after rebooting from adb to sideload.
I ended up finding a thread somewhere that suggested a newer version of adb. Once I downloaded the most recent version it installed fine.
I also rebooted into fastboot through adb, went to device manager and found my nexus, manually updated the driver. After all that everything worked fine.
Don't know if that helps or not....

I can't get my computer to show my N6 as a phone. All it shows is Unknown Device. I've loaded the Google Drivers yet it doesn't list them when trying to load them manually.

I found the problem
each mode has a unique hardware ID
when phone is in normal mode with USB debug, when it is at bootloader and then afterwards when it is in recovery mode
the last mode, hardware ID VID_18D1&PID_D001 didn't get any dirvers installed, evne downloading official drivers from google and other parties.
I had to manually edit the android_winusb.inf file and add the hardware ID %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001 under ;Google Nexus (generic)

check this

got it to work
I got it to work by unplugging and plugging back in once I had hit the adb sideload option in recovery. When I was just in recovery it had no effect.

My device needed %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002.

This happened to me too, I just ended up using a different computer: https://plus.google.com/+LoganJonesJ/posts/hrDRAnyrotf

Thanks so much for this! I had tried EVERYTHING trying to get my 6P to connect with no success. This simple fix was exactly what I needed.
