Hello,
For some reason my HTC Desire Z isn't recognized in Windows anymore.
It appears as Unknown Device in the Dev Man.
I have tried uninstalling all the drivers, and using the Google ADB drivers, but they won't install. I have also tried the HBOOT drivers, but when I am in HBOOT screen and plug the phone it won't even say HBOOT USB PLUG...
Funnily, when I start up the computer, before Windows is loaded, my phone says USB debugging, USB connected, and all of that - and as soon as Windows comes up, these things go away and the phone isn't recognized.
Please help!

Try downloading and installing HTC Sync (from HTC's website). That has USB drivers in it, which should work.

I did, but for some reason it won't overwrite the old driver. Maybe something is wrong hardwire-wise, because I get "Unknown Device" and not "Android" in the Dev Man. However, the USB connection seems to come up on the phone before Windows starts up (weird?)
Give me a few hours and when I get home I should be able to upload the driver package I use for mine.
This is the drivers I use.

Manualy update the drivers to your phone in devices,properties. Also there is a windows application that can search out all the drivers on your system called usb search or something to that order, you can stop your phone from seeking these drivers manualy and set up the proper ones

Oh, thank you for all your replies.
It turns out that my cable must have been defective. I tried to manually install the drivers and really nothing worked, so that's where the problem was.
Thank you again!

i've tried that too... followed each n every step perfectly but it didnt work, i wasn't able to connect it to pc..... any other options???
What operating system on pc? You may need to unistall current drivers then reinstall the right one when connected, make sure debugging is turned on on the phone. You can also get drivers by installing pdanet, are you manually installing the drivers or letting windows do it? If you have windows can you dual boot a linux distro, no drivers needed then
Not to be rude but if you followed the guides to a t then all should be well

Chances are windows picks the wrong drivers no matter what you have downloaded. Not a pc right now so a walk through may not be accurate. But first download drivers from cyanogen wiki, xda wiki, or strawetals pdf guide. Just google search those and you'll find them. Know where they are downloaded to.
Now click start (windows circle) rightclick on computer, go to properties. Choose device manager and plug in phone while it is powered on, se what pops up as drivers. Right click on the driver and choose update, manual, browse to where you installed the drivers. Do the same with phone in bootloader mode.
Also make sure to have phone in debugging mode
There is also a windows program called usbdeview (or something like that) that will show you all drivers installed, here you can uninstall the wrong ones

y do u need htc sync again ????
if ur expecting tht u connect ur phone to d htc sync nd it will gift u with official ICS ,, then ur wrong !! there aint no official update !
>if u have htc sync installed + Android SDK .... go to cmd (run as admin) ,, make platform-tools as ur directory (inside SDK with cmd) & simply type * adb devices *
It will most probably show u ur phones serial number !!
after that follow cyanogen.wiki root method & install ICS Rom !!
Also , if ur already on a different custom ROM , HTC Sync willl NOT recognize ur device !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to root my HTC Desire but falling at one of the first hurdles: I'm not able to install the driver software, I see the following error:
hxxp://i.imgur.com/5n720Wi.png
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, and I'm trying to follow the steps to root as described here: androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/300866-guide-rooting-htc-android-2-2-1-lower-unrevoked-windows-updated-20th-december-2012-a.html
I've installed HTC Sync and uninstalled HTC manager, and uninstalled Dropbox. I can connect to the Desire via USB both in HBOOT (with a successful USB connection message) and in regular Android OS.
I experimented with a couple other drivers - "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip" and "Acer_A1.win8.usb_drivers.x86_x64.rar" I found mentioned elsewhere.
Are there other drivers available? Any other advice for me to root this for the first time?
I have posted sometime earlier workaround to get it working on Win8, search.

That's not right. Because your screenshot shows an Android 1.0 Device and this means the Desire isn't connected correctly.
Uninstall ALL about HTC and Desire. start the device manager and there activate in the options show disabled Device. Than you look in EVERY directory for Android, Desire, HTC. And remove the Drivers. right klick, remove and than yes and make sure if there is a option that says complete delet the driver say yes.
For Fastboot drivers:
Start Desire in Fastboot, and than you connect to the PC. Normaly Win 8 searches for Drivers. Than it says nothing found. Try in the Device Manager right Klick on Android 1.0 - If there is something about HTC Bootloader with an ! than you have an diferent problem - and research for drivers -> Internet. Than it normaly should work. If not download these drivers directly from unrevoke.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install directly from unrevoked.
and go to device manager, install drivers from PC. Also here make sure the unknown device is an Android 1.0 if the name is different pls tell us.
For Normal use:
after Fastboot works, you download the newest HTC Sync for Desire: http://www.htc.com/de/support/news.aspx?p_id=312&p_name=htc-desire
Ok run the installation BUT After you startet setup it says something like there are a few things missing befor installing. These are HTC Driver, something about Adobe, install these. After that the installer ask for some agreements for HTC Sync now you cancle the install, because all you need are the drivers and they are now installed. It should work now.
If there are some more problems let me know. I had some trouble with the ADB and fastboot drivers a week ago, too but now it works
I cant get adb drivers to work with 8.1. I've tried every driver in the book. Followed a few guides , erased drivers , reinstalled , even at one point tried reinstalling windows , different USB port, different cable . now I am no means a novice , but is there something simple I'm missing ? Any help appreciated

perhaps uncheck mtp and select camera and turn off debugging ? boot into recovery while connected ? that installs a driver also. have you installed a "naked driver " ?

Need more info about your problem. what happens when you type adb devices?
If I'm not mistaken there were a few people that had the same issue and it turned out to be a bug when trying to use a USB 3.0 port on their computers. If you are using a USB 3.0 port for your cable you might wanna try plugging it into a USB 2.0. FYI I could be remembering completely wrong
I did everything but an engineering hboot with USB 2.0 port on an Intel x79 chipset motherboard on Windows 8.1.

I had this problem too but got around it. I had no problem getting the device detected in Fastboot mode, but ADB was a problem. What I did was download and begin installation of the latest HTC sync manager with the phone already connected. It seems the first thing it does is install updated drivers then asks if you want to continue with the installation. I didn't want to install sync manager, so I cancelled the install. However the drivers remained. After a reboot I checked Device manager and sure enough Android 1.0 device was there with working drivers.
Checked the device was recognised with the ADB command ADB DEVICES, but showed no device connected. I then unplugged the USB cable and plugged in to another USB 2.0 port and voila device gets deteced by ADB.
I also had to use this version of ADB http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5mieo2vxjd71ws/android-tools.zip and it had to be the original HTC USB cable and USB debugging enabled in Developer options.
Now for some reason I have to swap USB ports each time ADB doesn't detect the device and pretty much works each time.
I think it's usb3 issue , adb doesn't work on usb3 ports,
there was a subject on how to convert usb3 port into usb2 search the forums
USB 3.0 worked fine for me on 8.1. I used Sooner ADB drivers and manually picked them.

Ya usb3.0 worked for me too on two systems but I do know others had issues so I wanted to point it out.

I have no issues on win 8.1 I use the Google USB drivers that are with the sdk. The first time, I do have to go into device manager and update the driver. When it asks do you want to locate the driver or pick it from a list select pick from a list. There should be an Android entry if you installed the USB driver. Select that and then select adb interface. You'll also have to do the same for fastboot mode the first time.

I couldn't find a working version of ADB for 8.1 however I installed HTC Sync from the virtual CD and that installed all the drivers. Uninstalled sync manager cos I don't use it and the drivers remain and work fine.

check your usb 3 controller. Is it intel 3.0 usb controller. if you see intel xtensible controller in device manager this could be the issue, it can break adb on all ports. here is a link to a fix for this usb problem i can confirm it works as i have had this issue myself. Hope this helps

Had the same issue when trying to achieve root. Booted Windows to advanced start up and disabled the driver enforcement and everything just went smooth from there. Drivers installed just fine and everything just worked.

search for all-in-one-toolkit for the M8. it has links to installing drivers, u can use that toolkit to flash RUU, kernel, recovery, unlock bootloader and even run commands.
I used pdanet to install drivers for fastboot, you might wanna try it.

This is likely the issue.
Hi, My HTC Desire 816 is about 2 weeks old. I've had problems connecting the device to my personal computer (running Windows 7). I've reinstalled HTC Sync Manager several times, turned on USB Debugging, and even switched cables and ports but to no avail. When I try to update the driver, Windows faces an error saying it's unauthorized to install the driver for the device. However, the device connects perfectly to my office laptop also running Windows 7. I am able to transfer files on that system but not on my personal computer. The HTC website also has been of no help, except for asking to reinstall HTC Sync Manager. Please help. Thank You.
me too, need help
Tethering & Internet Pass Through
I have installed the latest version of HTC Sync Manager for my Desire 816 on Windows 7 and tried it on Windows XP as well.
When I connect my device for the first time after that,the drivers install automatically.
My system is recognizing the phone as a mass storage device.
But when I select the 'Internet pass through' connection type, it doesnt connect and after some time gives the error as
"Either you dont have the latest HTC drivers or ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please get latest drivers by intalling latest HTC sync manger from the website"
I have tried to uninstall and re-install the HTC sync manager several times but had no success with Internet Pass through.
Might be the issue with the drivers,cant understand the reason.
Can anyone help me out with this.
I have also the same problem.

I am pretty sure that you guys have already tried all those, but just wanted to remind you all again as a benefit of doubt. HTC sync manager will install the required drivers usually, but in some cases due to firewall or any antivirus systems within our computer, only few files will get installed and other will get blocked. The best way to tackle this problem is to follow the below steps
1. Uninstall the HTC related drivers if installed partially previously.
2. Reboot the system - which is must
3. Then turn of your firewall or internet security or antivirus on your computer for 10 min or more
4. Connect the HTC 816 to computer using the different USB port that is not used before. (Every new USB port needs installing drivers. So hopefully this might help)
5. Install the HTC sync manager
Hopefully it should recognise. If not, try following the same steps with different USB cable.
Hit thanks if I helped you so that I will know the above steps worked for you guys too as they did work for me personally. All the best.
