For some odd reason, I lost adb functionality (i.e. any adb command issued receives "error: device not found"). I looked in Device Manager and noticed that MyHTC was gone! I looked at my phone and USB debugging was enabled and in charge only. I could put it in USB Drive mode and the PC would recognize it as a USB Mass Storage Device so that I could exchange and view files but no adb.
I searched and searched on this issue for hours and installed over a half a dozen "androidusb.inf" driver files several times over. Every install generated the Code 10 error where Device Manager was lacking some information from the driver file and could not start the device. I reinstalled HTC Sync and gave that a try...nothing. Downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all HTC drivers including the HTC Android USB Device and tried again to no avail. WTF?! What else am I supposed to do?
Well, in a "what the hell, let's give it a try" kind of moment, I decided to toggle the USB debugging off and then back on (and yes, it was checked and on the whole time). WORKS!!! WHAT THE CRAP?!! MyHTC is back in Device Manager and everything is back to normal. I'm glad but irritated!
I share this story in hopes that if someone else stumbles on this problem, they will not have to go through the same headache as I did. Just thought this was odd considering how many times I have plugged and unplugged and never had any problems with adb.
Toggle USB Debugging....so simple. *rolleyes*
Same Issue
I've got the same issue on my EVO 4G. Just installed the latest CM7 and now it tell me device not recognized. If I manually install the drivers it gives me the same code 10. I can't bring up the phone as a storage device and toggling the debugging is not working. Any ideas?

You installed the hboot drivers correctly?
Boot into recovery, with usb debugging enabled, connect to pc, it should install the drivers.
Still the same
Even when I reboot into recovery it still gives me "USB Device not recognized." I previously had MikFroyo on my phone with no problems. I'm at a loss.

You most likely have a bad cable, do you have another one you can try?
Possibility
Not at the moment but that may explain it. Still seems weird for it to just go out right as I change to CM7, but still a possibility. I am going to run and grab my other cable. Thanks for the advice.
No Luck
The new USB cable didn't fix the problem. Also, in device manager, even with the driver installed its labeled as "unknown device."
If I boot into hboot the computer recognizes it.
**update: After rebooting from the hboot, my phone is recognized by the computer however, a disk drive is not coming up in "my computer." I have USB storage turned on but Im not getting anything.**
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sad Day
Apparently the Micro USB port on the bottom of my phone is going bad... I talked with some other people who've had the same problem. HTC knows that the ports aren't very sturdy as well. Well... sad day for me.
Also if you're getting the notice from windows saying that you your device will run faster in a 2.0 usb port and you know the port is 2.0 ... chances are your port is going bad as well.
*****UPDATE*****
Flashed to MikFroyo and none of the above stated problems. I would venture that it was CM7 but apparently everyone else is able to use it so who knows.
Guys, I need a little help here. I've rooted my share of phones, and even some tablets, but the Evo i bought a few days ago has been a nightmare.
For some reason, and I can't tell why, this thing will not be recognized by Windows.
It always shows up as "Unknown Device" under the USB catagory on Device Manager.
I've tried different OS versions (Windows 7 64Bit, Vista 64bit, Even Mac). I've also pulled down every form of driver I can think of (SDK Orginal version, HTC Sync, Hboot Versions, etc.)
I just cannot get this thing to be recognized. And if I manually try to update the driver and point it to one that I've downloaded, Windows tells me that the most current driver is already installed.
The bottom line is that I need to be able to connect to the phone from the comp in order to push stuff via ADB and throw commands at it. The same unknown device situation happens when the phone is in bootloader or actually booted into Stock Froyo (2.2)
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I know i haven't, and it's buggin me out.

I've never seen that before. Wish I had something for ya. Is the Evo brand new or used? Are you sure the usb cable is good? I've seen a bad cable cause some headaches before. Wish I had more for ya, sorry man.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
EVO is not new. I bough it from cragslist a few days ago. It seems to work fine otherwise. Not rooted for sure, and running Sprint original 2.2.
I did try a couple of different USB cables just to be sure, and had the same results.
The funny thing is that even though I was never able to get it "recognized" on any of my machines, I was able to get ADB so "see" it for a while. I started the rooting process by pushing files to it via ADB and even sent a reboot command to it.
Once it rebooted, that's when it all went bad. It was still showing as unrecognized (just like before), but now ADB can't see it at all. Keeps telling me no devices are connected.
Even my friend's Mac Air (which supposedly doesn't need any kind of drivers to see the phone) can't see it either.
It's just weird...
perform a hard reset, maybe a rogue app or setting got messed up,
fastboot screen>clear storage>yes
Tried that as well. Sorry i didn't mention it in the original post.
I think I've pretty much tried everything that's somewhat logical at this point.
Now I'm looking for the "illogical" ideas.
Make sure usb debugging option is turned on in settings>applications>development and the phone is in charge only mode. Then it should be recognized and you should be able to use adb.
Debugging was turned on already. I made sure of that.
As for the mode of connection I've tried them all with mixed results.
Here's what I've seen so far...
Charge only - unrecognized device in Device manager, and ADB can't see it.
HTC sync - unrecognized device in Device manager, and ADB can't see it.
Disk Drive - unrecognized device in Device manager, and ADB can't see it.
Internet Sharing - never tried it.
Here's the weird part. If i uncheck Debugging and set the phone to HTC Sync, I am sometimes able to get ADB to see it.
This is just confusing...
What happens if you uninstall HTC Sync and just leave the drivers installed? Could work I suppose. I know unrevoked says to make sure you uninstall HTC Sync and install the ADB drivers.
try this. connect your evo to a machine running xp. i had the same problems rooting one evo using windows 7. connected to a machine running xp ,zipped right through without a hitch.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU IN YOUR QUEST
Thats what I tried on the Vista box.removed HTC sync, and left the HTC drivers.when that failed I removed the drivers too and replaced them with several different ones I found online.none seemed to work.
The strangest part is that all guides seem to say that MAC OS should just see it without any drivers.
I borrowed friends MAC air and it didn't see it either.
I'm not sure which USB drivers you are using, but these work for me. Uninstall the drivers first, then install this. I hope it is legal to put these here and if not I am extremely sorry.
PS you could try a Linux Live CD and it will see it without drivers or go with Wubi which installs Ubuntu on your Windows hard drive and can be uninstalled just like any other program. It gives you the option to boot into Ubuntu or Windows on bootup. Neat little program and it is faster than using the live CD. Go to this link Wubi and click the Start Download button to download Wubi.
Those seem to be the same drivers I've tried (well those and a ton of others as well).
I'm gonna give that LiveCD idea a shot. Burning it now.
If not, I'm gonna try to find an XP machine somewhere.
I've got a couple of VM's on my machine running XP, but since the main Win7 Machine doesn't see it, it can't seem to pass the USB connection over to the XP VM.
Man, I have to say, this is just the most complicated rooting process I've ever seen. If this was my first root attempt, I'm pretty sure I'd leave Android forever
It usually is a painless operation to root the Evo. For some reason you are having a difficult time with driver installation. It seriously has to be something simple that has been missed, because I have rooted mine and several friends Evo's and it was very easy. I had a MyTouch 3g 3.5mm before this Evo and talk about a pain. Before the Universal Auto root app you had to make a gold card first and that in itself took over an hour. It was my first root and it was very difficult and time consuming, so to see how easy the Evo was no matter which way I do it made me very happy.

yes the mac doesn't require additonal drivers to run adb however u need to make sure the directory is properly set in terminal so adb knows where to pull commands from... on windows did u try uninstalling everything phone related? SDK, HTC Sync, the whole nine yards then try reinstalling only the sdk and the usb drivers? I know with the lastest SDK the usb driver is not included for some reason or at least it wasn't with mine... then one day my adb just randomly stopped working and a uninstall/reinstall cleared up everything... try this usb driver and see where it gets u. Don't know if it's any different that wat the guy above posted but worth a shot. Reinstall the appropriate SDK first then i would recommend plugging the evo into the pc with no usb drivers installed then when it cant automatically find the drivers direct it to the file u downloaded and it should pull the necessary drivers from there and see if that does the trick...
View attachment android-usb-driver.zip
No dice so far guys...but i have made progress in identifying the issue (sort of).
So here's the deal - the ONLY way the phone is recognized is if i toggle the "debugging" setting.
If i plug the phone in with the switch set on (meaning USB Debugging enabled) the phone is not recognized. Pointing the unknown device to the drivers (any drivers) does nothing.
However, if i plug the phone in with the switch set off, it finds a usb mass storage device. Then i turn the debugging switch on, and it finds the ADB Android phone with no issues. Then i can push commands via ADB without any problems.
The problem i have is that I cannot toggle that switch if i boot into HBOOT menu. So the comp never see's the phone.
I've tried this experiment on Win7-64bit, Vista-64bit, XP 32bit, and even MAC.
The same situation seems to apply everywhere, and with all of the drivers I've tried. None of them seem to allow the phone to be plugged in and automatically be found. The only way for the comp to see the phone is if i toggle the debugging switch off, then on.
At this point, I'm ready to put out a bounty on this. $20 via PayPal to anyone who can walk me through it. Bottom line is that I need to be able to see the phone without having to toggle the debugging switch. That will allow me to boot into HBOOT and still send commands to the phone via ADB.
Thanks for all the help guys. Hopefully, we can get this resolved.
**BUMP**
Anyone care to take a shot??
I wanted to root my phone and flash a costum rom... unfortunately my DHD (2.2.1) is T-Mobile branded, so i had to create a goldcard in order to downgrade from 1.75.111.2 to 1.32. When it came to temproot it manually with cmd i had to plug my DHD into my PC in load only mode, usb debugging activated.
I knew already that my DHD wont recognize my PC or the other way round (i somehow broke it when i deleted the htcsync drivers.exe from my sd card), but i thought maybe it would somehow work in usb debugging mode.
Well, it didnt(phone not found).
i then focused on repairing my usb connection, so i tried it on 2 other pcs (mine is w7, the other ones are xp and win7) but it all failed
(xp asked for drivers, which i installed directly from htc.com today(on all pcs(plus i removed and reinstalled them all properly))/win7 did nothing/mine said that it fails to connect and that i should use a usb 2.0 port(well all ports are usb 2.0, i also tried usb3.0))
evertime i plugged my DHD in i was asked which connection i want to use, none worked, i also restarted my phone several times (usb connected and without) when i type in #7284# (or *#7284# i tried both) it says: connection failure or invalid mmi code
Finally i resetted my phone and did it all again! But it wont work!
please help me!
Hi...It looks like a driver issue...
If your drivers are installed correctly, in your win-7 Device manager it will show DHD.
I would suggest to Re-install HTC Sync from HTC website - Run it again and give it a try
doesnt work either.... win7 says the device does not run properly, my phone does nothin unusual...
i wonder if htc could fix the issue... this would be my last option
however i believe in you guys at xda!
how did you reset your phone?
Did you install the android SDK? Does adb recognize your phone? (run "adb devices", if your device is listed, everything should be fine)
On my win7-machine, the HTC-Software gives me an error message (along the lines of "phone doesn't respond" or something like that) but adb works nonetheless.
thank you for your answer but im afraid it didnt work... i installed the usb driver pack on sdk but i couldnt find it under sdk/usb driver..., however i found some files -> android/android-sdk/extras/google/usbdriver/amd64 -> usbdrivercoinstall2.dll... i tried to install this driver in hardware manager, and i tried to install an adb.exe which i found in my downgrade folder as a driver. but win7 said no driver installation is necessary the "best" drivers are already installed (win7 aint gonna install anything)
also my dhd is found under unkown device, -this device is deactivated because it made errors- "Dieses Gerät wurde angehalten, weil es Fehler gemeldet hat. (Code 43)"
well i deinstalled it and searched for new hardware, he now says the drivers are installed properly please restart however i neither see my sd card nor my devices name (instead unkown device with this little yellow triangle)
btw. for reset i used my android reset (settings -> sdcard -> reset)
It is normal, the HTC Sync turns on the USB debug?
Have the same issue. My DHD can be connected to the PC no other way than charge mode, no matter is usb debugging turned on or off. Tried 2 PCs with W7 and 1 PC with Ubuntu 10.04. This trouble appeared several days ago. Wipe didn't help. Thinking of re-installing firmware, but it seems like hardware problem. An engineer in our service center said it might be motherboard malfunction.
Some ways of solving this problem are described here: http://goo.gl/2eMcP But none of those solutions helped me. If anyone can help, please advise.
UPD: re-installing the firmware had no success - connection with PC failed. 95% hardware problem, will take it to service center.
Guys I know it's a stupid advice, but I had same problems (suddenly my connection with pc didn't work anymore): did you try to change usb cable?

tried 3 cables and 3 PCs
i just found a solution for me : i tried a forth pc (win7) freshly installed htcsync + android sdk + !downloaded! (not properly installed) adb drivers (which i surprisingly did not need) well i plugged my DHD in and he installed all drivers, but never asked for an adb driver. instead he had problems installing 7 different bluetooth drivers for my DHD (???)^^
it just worked for me this way (also worked for debugging mode + load only mode (for radio s-off/hboot s-off))
:|)
well it's not exactly a permanent solution just a temporal way to root my phone, but in worst case i think its nessesary to reinstall win7 on your pc....
Okay, this is the second time this error has popped up and it's starting to get on my nerves. Anytime I plug my phone into ANY USB port, and this is counting both 2.0 and 3.0 ports, I get the error bubble: Hardware ID Missing. Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device." Honestly, this is beyond irritating.
For one, I am not going to reinstall Windows 7. That's too much hassle for this. Second, ever since someone plugged their Droid into my USB cable so they could charge up their phone, this message started appearing. I tried to reinstall drivers (Samsung driver exe said it couldn't install), uninstall, disable, etc etc, but finally managed to get the damn computer to read it when I stuck it in the 3.0 USB port. Now, just 10 minutes ago, I plug the phone in, I get that error, on a 3.0 USB port.
So, now I have no idea what is going on, nor how to fix it. I've tried searching, but there are no answers. Or, the possible "solutions" don't even work even remotely close.
I could really use some help on this. And, again, please do not mention "Reinstall Windows". That's just too much of a hassle and I'm not going to do that.
You may not want to try this either but try a system restore

I had the same issue what ended up fixing it for me was watching when I plugged the phone in after a clean driver install and stopping Windows from downloading and installing an updated driver. Dont know if its the same for you but that fixed it for me. I was really frustrated by it and found no help either.
probably an easy fix
definitely don't need to reinstall windows or do a restore. But just to be sure, you don't have kies installed right? Seems to cause problems.if there's no kies installed, go into the device manager and find your phone whatever it's listed as right click and uninstall. Check the little box that says, "delete the driver software for this device". do this for any devices relating to yours. Including the stuff under modems,ports,USB controllers.and tick that box that delete driver software for this device every time you uninstall something. Now, not saying it's necessary but wouldnt hurt, reboot the pc. Then with your phone unplugged, reinstall the Samsung drivers for the phone. Now to make sure windows doesn't DL its own drivers,disconnect from the internet and plug the phone back in. Should be all good.
I won't do a system restore, that won't do anything. Not to mention it would erase some programs that were installed (not related to phone). So, not doing that. Also, my computer will not automatically update any drivers or any thing else, as I have it set to manual mode.
And, I do not have Kies installed. It never worked for me properly, when it came to driver installation. I've done the "go into device manager" bit many times before, it still likes to play the "Hardware ID doesn't match" card. Drivers won't install either. I don't know what it is, but damn this is the most stubborn thing I've ever encountered.
i've post this in other forums today. what i do to get it working is i toggle USB debugging and try it out, then start toggling the ptp and mtp until it works. the combo that works for me is turn on debug, plug in computer, unplug, turn off debug, plug in. if it doesnt work then i toggle back and forth MTP and PTP. 5 tries at most, for me. Also, i did a nandroid back to my oem ICS that was 2 weeks old and just rooted. the problem is worse there. i'm using freegsmr6 with trinity kernel on Tmo. hope it helps.
Ditto
Yeah that whole "Hardware ID missing" was an irritating situation. This is what I recommend as far as making it work.
1. Plug in.
2. When you get the error message, I think its because of a conflict with the ADB interface. Go to Settings, Developer Options, and check off USB Debugging.
3. Plug in once again and it should work. If not, try toggling between Camera and MTP.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate and it works fine for me
I always get that error as well with my SGS 3. I have to reinstall Kies everytime it does that which is annoying.. ANyone has a permanent solution about this?
Fix for me was...
1-plug in phone. Get the hardware ID message. Leave phone plugged in.
2- open device manager. Click on. Android Phone and Uninstall Samsung Android ADB Interface. Also check the "delete software driver" when the dialog box shows.
3-still in device manager. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Uninstall Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device.
4-unplug phone.
5-reboot pc.
6-install SAMSUNG USB drivers from their site or from here
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html?m=1
7-reboot or not. Plug in phone.
This worked for me and no issues for the last 6 days. YMMV..
this works!

Hardware ID missing - SOLVED!!
1. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver
2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.
3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)
4. REBOOT
5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)
6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3
7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.
8. Reestablish the internet connection.
I've done just that, I've connected my S3 to the PC several times, I've also rebooted twice and I've never seen that stupid message again - while of course everything works as expected.
:good::good:4 days later, several times rebooted (phone and PC), several connections with Kies and I have NEVER seen that error again - it works!!
UPDATE!! (Oct.11.2012)
After a few Kies updates and going through various ROM's:
- the procedure listed above works 100% but a few steps are just not needed (redundant) - see bellow
- the problem is mostly caused by Windows "forcefully" trying to install its own drivers, rather than allowing Samsung's suggested.
- Samsung's fault is providing "updated" drivers that don't always work (hence, use the suggested 1.4.6.0 drivers)
- Following EVERY Kies update, DISCONNECT from internet before plugging your phone (otherwise you'll have to go through this, AGAIN).
Some suggested here that plugging the phone into a different USB port (without disconnecting from internet) would be the culprit - which happens to be true, but as a mere effect, not the cause: every time an unknown device is plugged into a different USB port, Windows is trying to download/install the appropriate drivers if it doesn't recognize the hardware - and there you are again.
So, the simplified procedure becomes:
1. Not needed - leave Kies installed, as is - no harm at all
2. N/A
3. YES
4. Not (always) required
5. MUST
6. MUST
7. MUST
8. Yes
Furthermore, if still interested in connecting your I747(M) as UMS (USB mass storage) the solution presented here works. I tested it myself - read my comment on this post for the very few existing hiccups.
- while installing the USB mass storage device drivers you don't have to disconnect from the internet
Install Drivers
Have you tried just installing the drivers directly from Samsung? That is all I did when I had problems and it worked.

For someone experiencing the "hardware ID missing" error, just reinstalling the drivers won't do anything. Like many others, I've been banging my head trying to solve this for quite some time; the suggested steps are truly a compilation of successful ideas and trials mingled with tons of frustration, coming from my own experience as well as from many different people and forums.
If, on the other hand, you had a different type of connectivity issues - without this error, then, yes, reinstalling the drivers is Samsung's recommendation.

Just wanted to say thank you. Did this and the last 2 days, works everytime. I made sure that after the first time I plugged the phone in after doing all this, and the screen pops up asking what I wanted to do, made sure to check the box for "do this everytime" and then choose the view folder option or whatever that is.
Thank you again,

One thing I have tried which might help others - I had the Android Developers toolkit installed on my machine, which I've removed and I also removed the HTC Sync software which was for my old desire.
Rebooted, installed the SG Toolkit (can't remember which post I found it in) and then chose option one after selecting firmware to install drivers.
I cancelled the "Windows Updates" bit of the driver detection and it found the first item, and had "item disconnected" for the remaining three.
Unplugged and plugged back in and voila it works.
This worked for approx 5 mins and then stopped, however I did all the above with debugging on, debugging is now off and all seems well (touch wood). However looking at putting on a different kernal to expose storage as mass storage and also get around cifs issues.
Hope this helps someone.

Rebooted, installed the SG Toolkit (can't remember which post I found it in) and then chose option one after selecting firmware to install drivers.
I cancelled the "Windows Updates" bit of the driver detection and it found the first item, and had "item disconnected" for the remaining three.
Unplugged and plugged back in and voila it works.
This worked for approx 5 mins and then stopped, however I did all the above with debugging on, debugging is now off and all seems well (touch wood). However looking at putting on a different kernal to expose storage as mass storage and also get around cifs issues.
Hope this helps someone.

The Android Developers toolkit DOES install the USB drivers 1.4.6.0 - which seems to be the ONLY one that works, BUT the rest of the steps suggested in my previous post are needed in order to get rid of the problem - otherwise the fix is just temporary.
Re-loading OS drivers corrected issue.

Have you tried just installing the drivers directly from Samsung? That is all I did when I had problems and it worked.

I removed the updates to Kies on my Note and uninstalled the Kies update on the PC which is what started this issue of the OS not recognizing the device and then a fresh driver load for my phone from the Samsung site. Worked Perfectly, Thanks!

Hello,
I've been able to use ADB to install and test apps that I'm writing under the stock ROM for my Epic, as well as under CM9 (and I think an early CM10, not sure about that though). After installing the 20130101 build of CM10.1 (keeping the included kernel), I am having issues trying to deploy and debug apps from my any of my computer to the phone (all of which previously worked). I've verified that Android Debugging is still enabled on my phone.
In the device manager on my computer, "SAMSUNG Android USB Modem" and "Unknown Device" are both showing the "problem" icon. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling various versions of the Samsung USB drivers, I've tried a few versions of Kies, and even a few third-party tweaked USB drivers. It doesn't seem like anything wants to recognize my phone now that is running CM10.1 (or CM10.1 in addition to something peculiar with my installation).
Additionally, if I have USB debugging enabled on my phone, even if I enable USB mounting, the computer won't recognize the mount until I disable debugging mode on the phone. Once I do that, then the volume will appear on my computer. Previously, when ADB debugging in general worked, I wouldn't have to disable debugging to get the USB mass storage mounting to work.
These problems happened at once on all three of my computers that I've been using for Android development, so I'm fairly convinced these issues are directly related to the ROM I'm running. I've attempted to search the forum and Google for others that may have had this issue and what the resolution/work-around might be, but so far I've not found anything. Surely other people are using CM10.1 and developing apps, which makes be believe it could be something unusual with my installations, but I've tried full wipe without a data restore and it didn't seem to have any impact. I've also tried searching to see if there were special drivers needed for CM10.1, and didn't find anything with that either. I know reverting back to an earlier ROM is an option to get ADB working, but I'm really hoping to get ADB working with CM10.1.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can check/do to get USB debugging working on CM10.1 (epicmtd)?
Thank you very much for your time

Re: [Q] Unable to use ADB to connect CM10.1/driver issue
I had the same problem, tried absolutely everything I could to get it to work and couldn't... had to roll back to a tw rom to get it to work (not a fan of the HUGE battery drain on cm9)
Edit- I know this doesn't help you, just wanted to point out you're not the only one with this problem....
Re: [Q] Unable to use ADB to connect CM10.1/driver issue
Locate the drivers for your phone on your computer and uninstall them. Then plug your phone in and let the computer reinstall the drivers. I had the same problem (although I wasn't making apps) and my suggestion above worked for me, so hopefully it'll work for you.

I've tried this with my previous uninstall/reinstall driver attempts, but tried it again anyway.
Unfortunately, it didn't' seem to have a positive impact. It looks like it reinstalled the mass USB storage driver, but it did not reinstall any other drivers (like the modem driver) so I'm still not able to do anything with ADB.
Re: [Q] Unable to use ADB to connect CM10.1/driver issue
Have you tried manually installing the drivers?
Here is the .exe that I used to install the drivers for my phone.

Hello again. Yes. I've tried installing various versions of USB drivers floating around the net as well as Kies (after uninstalling and deleting current drivers to try to avoid conflicts). Other versions of Epic ROMs (Stock, CM9, etc.) worked with ADB using my installed drivers until I installed CM10.1 (maybe starting with CM10) on my Epic.
As an aside, using ADB requires some additional (special) drivers beyond the drivers required for mass storage support.
I'm hoping one of the CM10.1 developers will chime in with what they did and/or installed to have ADB working with CM10.1 on Windows 7.
Thanks!

I'm going to update to the most recent build of CM10.1 and see if ADB works for me. If it doesn't work, i'll try reinstalling drivers.

I don't know what I did differently in my search (I've been trying to find solutions for awhile now). I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817954
I upgraded my Kies to 2.0, which includes the latest drivers from here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
I still had "Unknown Device" listed in my device manager. Based on that forum thread, I right-clicked on the "Unknown Device", selected "Update Driver", "Let me choose from software installed on computer" and then picked "ADB Interface". A list of a few Samsung ADB entries in it appeared, and I picked one (I had two with the same name, so not sure what the differences are between them) and after a few seconds I had no more alerts in the device manager and when I run "adb devices" I now see a device in the list. I fired up Eclipse to give it a real-world test and it worked: I'm now able to deploy and debug apps on my connected device.
Woot!
I'll be taking these actions on my other computers tonight.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Activating through developer options doesnt help? just go to about phone --> tap build number 7 times
I just went to device manager, uninstalled the failed USB device, and then plugged the phone back to the computer via USB.
Boom, just like that, all was well.
i tried everything and could not connect to my htc rezound (w/ CM10.1) thru adb. then i tried the following:
1. download the android adk from google (i can't post links)
2. connect phone thru usb
3. on your computer's adk download folder, navigate to sdk\platform-tools\
4. press shift + right click on the window, open command window here
5. type "adb devices" in the command window w/o the quotes
6. there should be a window pop up on ur phone asking for USB debugging permission. say OK.
7. type "adb devices" again and you should see ur phone connected thru adb.
