Hi All.
I'm hoping you can help - I've searched far and wide (including the awesome little "Here are the similar threads we found" box that appears when you create a thread) with no luck.
Basically, my phone is as in my signature, but I can't get ADB to work. I go "adb devices" and it doesn't list anything. adb.exe is working, and I can access it and everything via command prompt, but no dice on actually using it.
Not sure if this is helpful or related, but fastboot works 100% perfectly which is what confuses the heck out of me.
I'm running Win7-64Bit. The only abnormality is that Device Manager lists "Android Phone" as an unknown device, yet I can mount USB storage (both in Recovery and when booted into Android) and access the SD-Card.
Trying to locate drivers for "Android Phone" via Windows Update, as well as looking in "C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver" doesn't assist (drivers are in the directory). Not sure if that is related, but it might be.
Thanks for any and all replies

I'm afraid windows 7-64 bit appears to be the problem. I have the same problem but, as yet, not the solution. If you have access to a computer running a different version of windows you should be able to get it to work on there!
Sorry i can't be any more help.
Windows 7 64-bit IS working - I am using it and it works without problems.
Do you have USB Debugging enabled in Settings > Application > Development?
Also: try this driver & instructions: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.
I definitely have USB Debugging enabled - I also am 100% sure that I have installed the hboot driver before (I did it when rooting for the first time ages ago), and can confirm this by booting into Bootloader and having "Android Bootloader Interface" appear as a known device.
Also, with the HBOOT-Driver, it lists the phone as "Android 1.0" when Unknown, whereas my situation lists "Android Phone" as the unknown device.

Same here.
Have you added the environment variable for the sdk directory? It won't work if you don't.
Also.. install .. HTC Sync.. .and try.. and again uninstall only HTC sync.. and leave the HTC driver and try
I've had issues getting it working too and haven't quite figured out the sequence to get it to work. All I remember is the Android SDK drivers don't work, you need to use the HTC ones. You don't need to uninstall HTC Sync (try re-installing it though). You might then need to run update drivers on the unknown device for it to find them.
I can confirm that it does work with HTC Sync still installed. I sometimes find ADB devices takes a few attempts or restarting ADB to actually work.

What i meant is that windows 7 seems 64bit seems to cause more problems than any other windows os. I had a windows 7 64bit computer and after days of pratting about i managed to get it working now, further down the road, and a bit more knowledgable(i think!) i have a new more powerful windows 7 64bit machine and i can't for the life of me get it working.
I know run adb from my wifes vista laptop and had no trouble whatsoever in setting this up.
If u tried "everything", u better don't ask for more ;-p

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 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.

any help? anyone?
Hi, i don't know if i am starting this thread in the right section, but here goes. I'm sure you very helpful people will assist me if not.
I have an HTC desire branded to Orange UK but i am wanting to flash/debrand it. The problem i am having is this:
Im following the instructions for flashing/debranding the desire on self titled thread on android forums.
In the first step "how to set up adb" I have done everything that it tells me to do on the page on the unlockr.com
But when i open the CMD and type in all the correct commands it says list of devices attached below, but it is just blank, i don't know what it is that im doing wrong, but i must be somewhere? I need this number to make the gold card don't I? Its obviously a problem with the drivers, am i correct in thinking that? so i uninstalled the drivers and HTC sync, and reinstalled them from the HTC site, but still no joy. I then opened the SDK and installed USB driver package, still no luck.
If anyone can think of what might be the problem, could you please help. I am a total n00b when it comes to android, but this process seems far from hard to follow, maybe this is where i am going wrong?
Thanks in advance

you downloaded the adb tools to your desktop correct? something like android-sdk/android-sdk/tools/ ?
so cd (change directory) there using command prompt
when you are on the tools:/ directory type in 'adb shell'
you should now be able to write commands in a prompt starting with #

Sorry mate, just seen this reply.
I cant post links on here, but i followed the instructions on how to set up adb from theunlockr.com They said that SDK should be downloaded and unpacke to the C: drive which i did, if you can have a look at that site you will see what i have done. Im thinking that there is some sort of problem with the drivers somewhere, i checked on my device manager and checked the properties of "My HTC" and it sates "windows cannot initialize the device driver for this software"
are you using windows 7/xp/vista?
seems to me like your drivers did not install correctly.
plug your phone to your computer
go to control panel -> device manager -> find your phone
right click it and go to properties
go to driver and uninstall it
unplug your phone from the computer
restart your computer
plug in your phone again
wait for the driver to re-install.
if that doesnt work try installing htc sync

I'm on Vista 32 bit, This is what i have come to the conclusion, that its the drivers, i have uninstalled all drivers, HTC sync then reinstalled them plus reinstalled HTC sync, all with the same result, its even come to the point where i am sending an SD card to another person so he can make the gold card for me, just so i can flash the device. I will try what you suggested.

Hello!!
Well, hey guys. I thought I tell you the story, on why I posted this thread.
It started as I was installing Windows 8, on my laptop, and had the same problem, as some others. I just could not install the drivers, for my Droid, so I had a looksee and found that Windows 8 didn't yet have the capability, to download unsigned drivers, unlike Windows 7. So, I found a way of "tricking" Windows, into thinking, that these drivers are legit and it isn't forbidden to use, which is exactly what this tutorial tells Windows, in a way.
So, get going and use the full potential of your Android device!
Tutorial:
I have found a solution, to the following problem;
After installing Windows 8, you cannot install fastboot drivers, but it recognizes the ADB drivers...
Solution:
Open the dev-manager, by typing following, in a command prompt window, or the run dialog. Whichever you prefer... : devmgmt.msc
Now, the dive manager, should pop up.
Install ADB drivers, (If you do not have them present, download them here/
To prevent confusion: When I say install, it can mean unpack, or instal... Quick tip: An installer does nothing, apart from unpacking files, to allocated space, on your computer
Download USB drivers, from here. (Link fixed)
Should you NOT have drivers installed:
Install the USB drivers, and download ADB/fastboot drivers.
Installation of ADB/fastboot drivers:
Open the device manager, and look for "Samsung Mobile Device", or "Unidentified Device". You can make your search easier, by unplugging the phone, whilst in device manager, then plug it back in, and see what's changed...
Once you have found your phone, Perform a right-click, on the device. Select : "Update device drivers", once the dialog has poped up, choose "Browse my computer" and goto your dsktop, where you have installed the files to.
Open just the "drivers" folder, nothing else...
Select OK, then wait for installation to finish.
Once that has been done, you need to reboot your device, into bootloader mode; do this by typing
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\adb reboot-bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
into the command prompt (download & install this, if you want to do it the cmd-way...)
Or, turn off your phone, and reboot i it manually into bootloader-mode, by pressing
Code:
VOL UP +DWM & PWR
together, untill phone vibrates...
Once the phone is in bootloader, go back to the device manager, and look for a device named "android 1.0". Perform a right-click on this and select "Update device drivers". Again, selct "Browse my computer", but, instead of clicking on "Browse" and selecting the folder, again, select "Let me pick, from a list of drivers." Once the menu has popped up, select "Samsung Android ADB interface". Click OK, and wait for the drivers to install . Then, you're done. You have then successfully installed the ADB + fastboot drivers correctly, to test this, open a cmd window, and type following:
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
fastboot devices.
If your device shows up, then you have done it!!
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb kill-server
Note: while the phone is booting (If you typed "adb wait-for-device") A cursor will blink, wait for that, to stop blinking, then type the next command
I hope you learned, from this tutorial!! Check my root helper out, if you have enough time
Should you have problems, in recovery, open your dev. manager, and look for following device:
Code:
Full
Select, right-click. Update driver (blah, blah, witter, droan)
Browse my computer -> Let me pick -> Samsung ADB -> Done. You have enabled the ADB drivers, on your SAMUNG GALAXY NEXUS!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Addition: You can only reboot into bootloader, if you are using a motorola, Google or HTC branded Android device! This will NOT work with Samsung models (i.e. Galaxy S II/III) due to the fact, that they use Odin mode. Should the drivers need updating, for some devices, please let me know!
Motorola Razr
Hello, I was wondering if this would work for the Motorola drivers. I've been trying to install them so that I can fastboot my Razr, but it quits right after it recognizes that I'm on Windows 8.
I guess I might as well just try it in the meantime!

Edit: In the ADB drivers link you posted, there's nothing to install. Just .sys files, .dlls, two .cat files, and some .infs. How exactly does one do anything with these files? Also, your second link for USB drivers was removed by mediafire.

Download MotoHelper. Right click the file and run in compatibility mode. It should install the drivers. I used this to run fastboot with my xoom.
It still hangs while running as admin under compatability mode for 7, I'll try as XP momentarily.
Edit: XP compatability didn't work either.

First of all, thanks, for letting me know about the link It's uploading again ^^
Yes, you can do the same for your Motorola. But only with the ADB drivers. Just do the same as with the Samsung. Select your device, form the devman. and right click. Update device drivers -> Browse -> Let me choose from a list... -> Samsnung ADB interface.
They are all provided by Google, inc. so, they are compatible, with every Android device. I've even used my Samsung ADB drivers, for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. So I can actually say, for myself, that they work. You then can work, using fastboot... ^^
Have fun fastbooting!

To your edit. You have extracted the files. This is also called "installing" because you have extracted NEEDED files. Even when you extract a .zip/.rar/.tar/.tar.gz and so on, because you need files out of them, you are installing, but not to the system, but to yourself
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this method is not working for me on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. When I'm trying to install the ADB drivers, it says the drivers cannot be installed because it's not digitally signed.
UPDATE: I got it to work by disabling the Digital Signature Enforcement on Windows 8. Steps: Restart Windows > Boot loader Menu > Other Options > Advance Options > *Computer Automatically Restarts* > Press F7 to Disable Digital Signature Enforcement

Yes, it should work with all Android-modification applications. I have never really had problems, with Odin, with any version of Windows, mainly because this is the first thing I do, on any of my Windows machines, but it is always worth a try Tell us, what you have found out!

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.

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

Hi there,
I'm trying to install TWRP. But I can't do any fastboot command. ADB works. Device isn't recognized in system and with "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. :/
I've tryed many drivers but nothing works.
I'm using Win 10 x64. Does anyone have a suitable way to get it working?
Thanks!

This is a problem related to Windows 10 that uses the wrong driver.
Somewhere I have found a guide to manually choose the correct one, but at the moment I don't remember where... googling you will find instructions

Oh sorry.
Does someone have an idea?
This might come a year too late, but in case someone else runs into the same problem (like myself), you can solve it by installing the latest (signed) ADB drivers with this Tool, then rebooting the tablet to fastboot mode and run the tool again. This still doesn't install the correct fastboot drivers, but it should now be listed as "ADB Interface" -> "Unknown Device" in the device manager, and if you right click and choose "Update driver" -> "Browse my computer for driver software", you should see a driver called "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)", that installs and works correctly for the Pixel C.
@Mambobuzzz
One option you have and it's been updated this month too, is you could try installing and using tiny adb & fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-windows-tiny-adb-fastboot-august-2021.3944288/
I can't stand Windows for a few reasons! Make a live USB and try a Linux distro! You will never have this problem again and I guarantee you won't miss Windows.
Edit added:
Reasons why this is happening:
Bad connection somewhere.. The USB connection you are plugging in to on your PC could be messed up, the USB cord could be messed up, or where your type c plugs in to your device is messed up.... Oooorrrrr it's driver issue. And knowing Windows I betcha it's a driver issue. When you plug your tablet in are you enabling USB debugging and developer options and changing the "default USB configuration" from "Charging" to "File tansfer ?" And when you do those things are you watching the table REALLY CLOSELY for the little box that pops up for 5 seconds that you MUST put a checkmark in otherwise adb and fastboot will not work? Reboot a few times on your PC and update the drivers in Windows Device manager.. I remember once I had to reboot 3-4 times to finally get mine working. When you type adb --version then push enter in terminal and fastboot --version push enter what does it say?
