Lost ADB after installing HTC Sync 2.0.4

I can't seem to figure out what happened to my ADB driver. I installed HTC Sync to use USB tethering and found that ADB no longer worked. I checked the drivers and found that the ADB driver is missing. I uninstalled HTC sync and the driver, plugged in my phone and the phone automatically installs the driver for HTC Sync. Tried to perform "adb remount" and it gives me "error: device not found".
I am running Windows XP SP3 on my computer. Cyanogen 4.2.3.1 with the Buuf theme. If somebody could help me get ADB back I would appreciate it.

Anybody? Any Suggestions?

YOu have to reinstall the driver but don't let it choose the driver for you tell WIndows that you'll do it manually and select the win32 driver in the SDK tools.
That being said you aren't going to be able to use HTC Sync anymore.

Thanks for the reply. How can I manually install the driver? I uninstalled the HTC sync driver, plugged my phone in, and the driver automatically installs. It never gives me a chance to browse for a different driver. If there is some way I can force the driver to install without connecting the phone, that would probably do the trick. I would much rather have ADB than USB tethering anyway.

Nevermind. Next time I will google before I ask how to do something.
If anybody else has a similar problem, just google how to install drivers manually and manually install the ADB driver.

Problem with milestone (USB)

Windows 7 doesnt recognize my SDCARD! but "Windows Media Sync" and motorola portal works fine!
I flashed again Tellus firmware 2.1 ... and seemed to have solved the problem,, sdcard mounted fine,so i clicked sync windows media ... and also worked ... and the portal as well. But after the windows installed the drivers of motorola´s Portal, i was no longer able to access the SDCARD. I think it has something with the drivers windows7 installed for the motorola´s portal because only stopped working after windows7 installed those drivers.
anyone can help me?
thanks, cya...

did you download the USB drivers? (needed for comp to see phone)

[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.

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

First, copy your adb drivers to a backup on your pc (unless you don't mind d/ling them again). Then, uninstall sync manager and all drivers. Reconnect the phone, and it should reinstall the drivers and sync manager. Then get into bootloader and fastboot should be working again. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Take a look here: [FIX] Fastboot problems on Windows 8 x64 with USB 3.0? Solution inside.
Maybe it will help you

[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.
