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.

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 was reading some instruction from htcevohacks.com. Since i didn't decide to root or not yet, i just want to install those sdk and driver on my pc. sdk part is easy, and i installed it successfully. But adb driver part is tricky.
I followed instruction, turn on "USB debugging" in the settings, and reboot phone into recovery mode, plugged usb cable. However, the device manager of windows 7 didn't find any adb devices, then i tried refresh, still no lucky at all. what should I do to find adb device then update driver? or i have to root first b4 installing adb driver?
Install HTC Sync, then reboot your computer

I did, actually. As a matter of fact, i do have that sync icon in my task bar
I am not sure, but i was wondering if the adb driver is necessary to be installed?
Yeah the HTC Sync.exe will have the drivers. Check your hardware configuration to make sure it's installed right then in the folder with adb installed use the command prompt to go: adb devices -> You should see a device with numbers. then you correctly installed it

this should definitely be in the Q&A board, not the developers board.
since you've already installed htc sync, the drivers should already be properly installed on your system.
ive only ran win xp and vista, not familiar with win 7, but if its designed the same, having no question marks, sounds like all connected devices have drivers properly installed ...
how do you know your adb drivers aren't installed? have you tried using adb? if so, what error does adb show?
Exit HTC sync first on your computer so it is not running or just uninstall it. It should find it after that.

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Do you have HTC Sync Manager?
Also, in Device manager does your Drivers have Errors (Yellow Triangle)?

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like
My HTC
Android Interface Device or possibly android ADB interface

Hmm Very strange.
Try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed
I was having issues with adb not finding my device. These drivers worked for me...

Cheers All removed all drivers for htc one x then downloaded the 4.2 versions from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

bro i download your driver but how to install it. my htc one x just start in fastboot mode. i want to unlock bootloader but without adb i am helpless
If you have Windows 7,8,8.1 just enable automatic update and let windows install correct drivers

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to root my buddy's M8, and I'm having a ton of issues.
No matter what I do, I can't get Hasoon2000's All-In-One Toolkit to get the Token ID off my phone. I get an issue about device not found. I tried HTC's Method as well, and I'm getting AdbWinApi.dll is missing. I've gotten the dll, tried to install it manually and my system won't let me.
I tried as much as I could, and I'm at a loss as what to do next.
Also, if it matters, HTC's drivers say they're not compatible with Windows 8, but I ran it in compatibility mode, still no luck. It installed, just don't know if it installed properly.
Thanks,
Forget doing this using a toolkit just use the official method. You need to download and install the adb drivers then download the adb and fastboot tools . You will need to disable Windows 8 driver signing enforcement to install.
Run everything from a command prompt opened in the adb tools folder.

You do not need to disable driver checking in Windows 8, just install the latest version of HTC Sync Manager and you're good to go (I have windows 8.1 Pro and USB 3 and it works with no issues at all). But I agree with everything else - do NOT use toolkits. It's so much easier to just do it yourself

Who mentioned HTC sync manager? Not everyone wants to install HTC sync manager, especially if trying to s-off. The drivers above require driver enforcement disabled to install. Thank you.

Install Sync Manager to get the HTC drivers, then uninstall it again. Drivers stay in place and no signature disabling required
Just making it easier for the OP

I'd you run the command "adb devices" is your device shown as device or offline? Also does the same device appear multiple times?
Try htc_fastboot instead
Yeah this is awful. Last time it happened to me I was up until 4 am trying to figure it out.
My solution involved uninstalling everything HTC related and deleting all existing android drivers, then using the HTC version of adb that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-usb-drivers-t3389334/page2
The generic version of adb doesn't work on my Windows 8 machine.
I'd also have to restart after every step or it wouldn't take.
