ADB Drivers for EVO?

I have been doing Android development for a while on my work laptop that runs Windows Server 2003 64bit. Previously I've used a HTC Magic (AT&T) and a Moto Droid (Verizon) for development. Now I also have a EVO that I am trying to use. The problem is that I cannot get ADB to work with it.
System: Windows Server 2003 64 bit (work laptop, no I cannot put Windows <whatever else> on here).
Phone: EVO
Since I have been doing development for some time I already have the SDK, along with the USB drivers.
Here are things I have tried:
1. Plug in EVO. It wants to install ADB drivers. I choose the USB drivers location. Fails.
2. Delete USB Drivers. Redownload them from the SDK. Plug in, choose drivers, fail.
3. Plug in, allow drivers to fail, I have the ! in device manager for ADB. Unistall the ADB driver. Scan for hardware changes. Install ADB drivers. Fail.
4. Uninstall the Motorola USB Driver package. Try all above steps, fail.
5. Try to install HTC Sycn, Server 2003 not supported, fail.
What else can I try to get ADB working? Seems funny that it would work perfectly with a HTC Magic and a Droid but not this EVO.

Eureka! I found an obscure post on some crappy forum to a link for what someone called HTC Evo 64 bit drivers, so I thought what the hay, lets try them.
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yd61xorii
The folder of drivers in there was really called Vista x86 but, still worth a shot.
It worked perfectly. The phone doesnt say ADB in device manager now but "My HTC". ADB is working fine.
Hopefully someone in the same boat as me will happen across this and it will save them time.

Thank you! Saved me a BUNCH of time! You're the man!

The file appears to be unavailable on that site now, could someone please re-host this ASAP? I can't get anything else to work and I'd really appreciate it if this turned out to be my fix. Thanks.

just grab HTC Sync from the HTC www site. It will install the drivers you need.

I can't connect on VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. How did you fix your problem? Did you find drivers? Thanks.

wow. never had a problem on windows 7 or ubuntu getting the evo to be recognized. but, head to work, plug it in, and no go. install the sdk and update it, no go. i was baffled, because i've never had a problem before. but, this file did the trick! thanks!

Unfortunately for those of us who are behind a proxy and can't get at the SDK file, going through the stupid SDK to get the driver is very annoying.

Didn't work for me. I'm running Deck's 4.0.3 ROM and can't get my device recognized on my computer. I tried to install the driver pack above through device manager and got an "unable to install" message. Any advice?

I'm about to pull my hair out! Driver install

i have search, read, re-read and tried a lot of different things..... i can not for the life of me get the android driver to install. i'm trying to root my phone and it just won't install at all.
i'm running windows 7 64 bit. if anyone could help that'd be great.

you need to manually install the driver. look right above comment section in attatchment to install htc diag driver....
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/

it still won't install. i go to android 1.0, update driver, chose the folder, "failed". if i say "i have disk" and point it to "sndroidusb" it says the driver is not compatible with my device.

download and use the HTC DIAG driver 64bit point to that driver.

Here ya go

thanks i'll try that when i get home. funny thing is i tried to get a driver to install on my vista 32 bit laptop and i can't do it on here either. there is obviously something i'm doing wrong. i think with the 64 bit i might have found the problem.... the 64 bit driver that someone supplied me said that it wasn't signed or something like that. i have read up about the problem and supposedly i need to boot into test mode in windows. i might have to try that as well if the above driver doeesn't work.
thanks again for all the help.
ps i think the problem with the vista 32 bit computer is simpular to my desktop problem. when the computer is looking for a driver to install it wants a .inf file and the supplied drivers are .dll files.

choose / update driver - browse my computer for device drivers - let me pick from list of drivers.. show all [click next] then select "have disk" browse to folder w htc diag driver, select driver....that's it.
here's x86 & x64 diag drivers

you are using the drivers from the HTC website correct?
just in case : http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/HTC EVO (Sprint)/HTC_Sync_2.0.40.exe

did you install HTCSync?

[Q] ADB with Windows XP 64 Bit

I have been searching for several hours, and I am absolutely unable to get ADB to recognize my phone using Windows XP 64 bit. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Unrevoked modified drivers several times to no avail. All I get is "Error: Device Not Found". Does anyone know a trick to getting ADB working on XP 64? I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks!

Make sure the rom your using has adb functionality included/enabled in the rom.
And make sure usb debugging is enabled under settings/applications
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I have connected to the same phone with another computer. All settings are confirmed correct on the phone itself.

I know a trick, but I haven't tried it with the Evo or XP! I bet it works though. I used it to get my hero working with win7 last march, and it worked great.
install PDAnet.
It is a tethering program and has the ADB drivers, should set them up for you.
Also installing HTC sync is supposed to get the drivers working.

Thanks I will give that a shot and report back.

PDANet didn't work but I found an HTC driver for 64 bit windows 7 that did the trick.
Thanks for your help.

Windows sucks and 64 bit XP is a pain in the ass. You need a usb driver or linux.

can u post the driver.?

Here it is. Be sure to uninstall any other drivers. I used USBDeview to uninstall the old drivers. Extract this zip and use the driver inside for Android 1.0 when prompted. It will not show up as Android ADB in Device Manager (showed up as My HTC Phone or something on mine) but ADB connected immediately once I installed this driver.

I doubt that it will work

Works for me!
Been looking at this for two hours now...
Running 64-bit XP - Installed the drivers manually by connecting the device, then selecting not now.... navigated to the drivers, installed BOTH .ini files - not sure if was really two different drivers or not - restarted, reconnected and device showed up.
The name my device function says "Desire" but it seems to work so far (only one sync)

Phone isnt recognized in fastboot

Can anyone help me?
I'm running windows 8 64-bit, and I have an HTC One from VZW.
The phone is recognized via ADB, but whenever I get into the bootloader, it tells me the device isnt recognized and I can't do any fastboot commands with it. I was able to root and use fastboot on my N7 2013 from the same PC, so this is frustrating because I want to send my One in to sonic but if I can't DO anything when I s-off there's no point in sending it it.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
PS - I've only tried this PC, no others. It may work on my macbook but thats away for repair.

I would just install HTC Sync, sounds like it's a driver issue and HTC Sync will provide those needed new drivers for HTC.

sorry, thought I read it installed all the new drivers, you could try using Google to find the HTC current drivers, I can give you the numbers I have on mine my cpu is win 7 64bit not sure if it'll help but when in "uninstall or change a program" my HTC BMP USB Driver driver # is 1.0.5375
and my HTC Driver Installer driver # is 4.0.1.001
can't say it this helps at all but this is the CPU I used that I fixed the issue with
Best of luck!

My BMP is the same but my HTC Driver Installer is 4.0.3.001
Maybe I can find that other one and it will work for me

Here is a previous post I made to another guy having the same problem. Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
I had this problem too running windows 8 x64. I think my problem was that I installed the sdk first with google's USB driver and not HTC's driver. What I did to make it work is switch computers over to my wifes which at the time I hadn't installed anything on yet. I went to htcdev.com and went to the part of the site where it is step-by-step on how to unlock the bootloader. I installed the Java Runtime Environment on the link provided on the upper right side of the site, then I installed the HTC sync manager on the link provided as well. I had my phone connected to my computer usb 2.0 (not usb 3.0) the whole time and with USB debugging enabled (not in fastboot mode, but with phone normally on). After that I took the three files from the sdk that htc wants you to place in a separate folder and put them in c:\Android. I did not install anything from sdk this go around.. i just took the three files out and put them in a separate folder as instructed by htc. After that I opened cmd and directed it to the folder I placed the files in (cd c:\Android) and ran command "adb reboot bootlader" Once I did that and hit fastboot the "My HTC" in device manager no longer had an exclamation point. So in summary, I couldn't reverse the drivers from my computer that I installed first so I resorted to using my wife's computer that didn't have anything installed yet. I installed JRE, then HTC sync software, and just used the 3 files HTC wants from sdk and placed them into a separate folder. I didn't install anything from sdk. It all worked after that. I don't have instructions on how to reverse the usb drivers you have already installed because I couldn't figure it out... in fact, I formatted windows on my pc and am reinstalling. Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm going to try it out on my roommates laptop that only has samsung drivers and the ADB installed and see what happens. Can't reformat the PC cause it's my School desktop and I've got work on there.
Once my macbook pro comes back from repairs I'll use that though, since I've never had issues running adb commands on my mac

Found a soultion
After I tried almost everything I tried to improvise and try something totally different and it worked!
First uninstall the driver in the Device Manger and then press to update it >> then press Browse my Computer for driver Software >> then press on Let me pick from list.... >> in the list choose the Portable Devices >> choose MPT USB Drive !
And It works...
:good:

MPT USB Drive isnt one of my options
However I've found that it's microsofts USB3 drivers, which override the Intel ones.
I just got my macbook back from repairs and it has USB3 ports as well so I was worried it wouldnt work, but its working fine from there

I'm having this same problem and nothing I do is working. I even tried from another computer but had no luck. adb finds the phone fine but fastboot just won't work. This is keeping me from getting S-Off. Someone please help.
Edit: Nevermind I think the issue is that I'm using Windows 8.1

I'm having the same problem I'm windows 8 64bit...
I have a nagging feeling that it's pda net.. I need to look into it today sometime

Drivers with Windows 10

Hello guys,
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I got the surprise that my computer doesn´t recognize my HTC ONE M8.
I installed HTC Sync for get the lastest drivers but it didn´t help. On Windows I go to device manager and it seems it recognize an "Android device" but with a little exclamation that says that there is no drivers for this device.
Anybody had the same problem? How did you fix it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english.
Regards.

Did you also have this problem on Windows 8.1?
I had the same driver issue when I was running Win 8.1 Pro. I couldn't get the phone to be recognized.
What I ended up doing is downgrade (or should I say upgrade?) to windows 7. All is well now.
If you keep windows 10, you may have to wait until HTC updates their drivers for the new OS. I'm not familiar with any other solution at the moment.

Actually I installed on my new computer Windows 8.1 Pro edition and I think I´ve never connected my phone to this computer so I cannot tell you if it was working on Windows 8.1.
I think I´ll wait until other pal put a solution.
Thanks

It works with 8.1, but connection can be really sketchy. Connects and disconnects rapidly, but eventually connects.

Mine works fine in Win10. Are you an admin or regular user?

Same here, no issues at all on a clean win10 install

No issues here with windows 10, 64bit.
Upgraded from windows 7.

Admin user.
Did you do a clean install or just upgraded from a previous version?
Did you install HTC Sync for get the drivers or you installed from other site?

I may have had HTC Sync on before - don't recall. This copy of Win10 was an upgrade install from Windows 7.

Follow that link, and download the file
1. Disable Windows driver signature (option 7 from advanced options)
2. Connect phone to PC
3. Go to device manager, you can find it through cmd prompt or cortana
4. Once in device manager, locate anything that says android usb or something like that ( I cant remember)
5. Update the device driver by looking through your computer for the location of ^ above download zip
I have no tried this yet, but I dont see why it wont work...PM me if you have questions
Edit:
I just did all of what I described above, and TBH I'm not sure if it would work or not. I do not currently have ADB SDK installed on my laptop, but I have found what appears to be a sound-proof method. Im going to assume the reason you want that connection is because you plan on using adb ? Anyhow, here's the link:
http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php?/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81-10/
In the second post of the link ^, it has been shown to work with HTC devices, hope this helps: let us know & I can dig deeper...
