Hay guys, I think i'm being a noob here... but...
After rooting and s-offing my old HTC Desire with no problems at all and flashing countless ROMs every five mins with ease, I seem to have gotten stuck with the One X.
My problem is that fastboot nor adb finds my device, I have reinstalled the Android SDK + USB Drivers and HTC USB Divers ect, ect ,ect, but nothing gets listed under any of the commands "fastboot devices" or "adb devices". Looking into my PCs device manager when my phone is in fastboot it shows as "My HTC" with a yellow "!" next to it, the error message is shows is "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)", I have reinstalled the device drivers a few times and each time I get the same error message, however nothing says that the device has been stopped from working.
I'm running Windows 7 by the way.
Can any one help me? I bet its some thing really dum that I have overlooked.
try delete/remove the driver
I tryed doing so and reinstalling it, still didn't work.
Fixed, it seems the HTC sync download was corrupt, I little odd, but downloaded it again and it seemed to work.

Firstly, sorry for reviving an old thread. I have been searching for the answer to this problem for a while now. Whenever I try to use HTC Sync Manager, it shows the My HTC driver with a yellow ! triangle. I have tried many different things to try and get it to work, but it just won't install the driver. It is a Code 52 from Windows, saying the driver signature couldn't be verified. I just want to be able to use adb so I can tinker with the phone! Please help, it would be much appreciated.

hey.
i followed the guide for rooting my galaxy nexus.
driver installation was alright, and then i switched to fastboot mode (green android) and then the device manager didn't recognize my gn (unknown device).
tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, tried "updating" it with various rar files i found on this forum and ofcourse i tries pdanet.
none of them worked. it was always unknown device.
then i had no choice and i removed the battery to boot it normal.
suggestions? thnaks
After installation, plug in your phone, look at your system tray for the USB icon, click it. It should show a status of installing more drivers. This can take awhile, and for a lot of people it seems to fail the last step, Android 1.0 drivers. Open control panel, system, device manager. Look for a yellow error icon. Click that, choose to install drivers manually and locally. Then select 'choose from list', find Samsung.
That should get you back on track

Were you able to unlock the bootloader? If you didn't do this, don't go installing any driver... be very careful. If you install the wrong driver in device manager, you'll screw it up. I installed the wrong driver on my main computer and I couldn't get the device manager to even recognize the phone :| I couldn't locate the right driver either because once I installed the driver, it renamed it. It was a huge pain and the only way I got this to work was by using a different PC with the correct drivers.
I have found this to be the best instructions for unlocking the bootloader. Most importantly, it includes directions on how to gain access to adb on your phone properly. Take your time and follow the instructions exactly...

I had the same issue, install pdanet and your phone will be recognized when in fastboot
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i followed one of the main guides on this forum.
it says to install the pdanet drivers and then boot to fastmode via the volume buttons.
once i got into fastboot, the device was unrecognizable.
when i was still in normal boot, the device was recognized and it was all right. and yeah i turned usb debugging on.
how can i unlock the bootloader without installing drivers?
thanks

silly question, but after booting to fastboot, you are using the fastboot.exe, and not adb? if you type "fastboot devices" does anything show up?
no, nothing shows up.
and thats clearly because the driver is not installed correctly.. i see a yellow sign in device manager.
what am i doing wrong? only thing i was different from the guide is that instead of typing adb reboot bootloader, i got into fastboot by pressing the volume buttons.

click open that yellow unrecognized device...manually choose drivers (don't do auto), and select from the list, you'll see samsung, choose the driver
that should install android 1.0...alot of people have gotten this error.
edit: another thing to keep in mind is, after installing the drivers, and fixing the device in device manager, it can still take a little bit to initialize. in your system tray there should be a usb icon, open that to see when the drivers are done
I am in the same boat. I tried for hours on 2 different Windows 7 laptops (both 64bit). I am trying to get Yakju from one of the derivitives (without unlocking the device).
Steps taken:
- Dloaded Samsung USB driver 1.4.6 & Installed: Did not recongnize in explorer or Odin (even Odin did not show a thing)
- Dladed PDA Net A302x64: Did not recognize in explorer or Odin.
Both times the GN is in Device/Printers and listed as having Android 1.0 driver. I try to manually update, but cannot seem to find driver in list (as it just has Android 1.0 driver listed). Any suggestions?
i didnt even see the "Android 1.0".. just "unknown device" all along..
i also tried on a different computer.. same issue.
about manually installing the driver.. i tried pointing him to a manual driver package i got from this forum.. it said its the same driver..
when im searching for "samsung" on the list, i dont see a relevant driver.
Well, i've saw someone else on here who was having driver issues, who also had installed both samsung & pda drivers...
uninstall both.
fresh install ONLY the naked drivers directly off samsungs website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/verizon-wireless/SCH-I515MSAVZW -- if you're verizon, if not, you can search there). Do the install. Plug the phone in, it will start to install its usual crap. this is the long part. then, it will fail like you saw before. in device manager, you'll see the unrecognized device. Open, it will ask you to find drivers, choose "Browse", "Let Me Pick From a List", "Samsung", and then pick the driver with the date 11/25/2011
check to see if there are any other unrecognized devices in device manager, just to be sure you got em all. at this point, plugging in your phone should show the USB connected icon in the system tray. do you see this? If you click it does it say "Eject MTP"?
Hello.
I´ve recently got a desire and I tried to root it using the unrevoked method, but with no luck.
I´ve managed to install the USB drivers, but the phone still seems to be not recognized. (Left with "Waiting for a device")
Yes I´ve turned on USB Debugging.
But everytime I connect my device, I see some strange "ADB" unrecognized device with an exclamation mark.
Tried to update "its" drivers with the drivers from unrevoked, no luck.
edit:I also tried to s-off with revolutionary, same problem ("Waiting for a device")
Any suggestions ?
Or other method how to root Desire on W8?
I´m using Windows 8 64bit.
HTC Desire is 2.2.2.
Thanks
EDIT: SOLVED thanks to k3lcior and his url. Thank you.
Try to download and install HTC Sync to get USB drivers from HTC. Then uninstall HTC Sync while leaving the USB drivers that came along with it installed. But no guarantee this will even work on Win8

You may want to take a look on this, especially "Edit2".
Thanks for all suggestions, I was able to get fastboot working, somehow. But that´s pretty much everything.
Btw. There´s a strange problem with HTC Sync as well. I tried to install HTC Sync, just for testing.
HTC Sync doesnt seem to be detecting my phone as well.
Do you think these 2 problems might be connected?
Hi
Just picked up one of these neat little phones whilst my main phone is away being repaired and as tradition dictates I want to "mess" with it. I have been reading the tutorials for bootloader unlocking so I can flash a custom rom but have run into an issue where drivers are concerned. When I downloaded HTC Sync it threw up an error message about drivers not installed and although i have tried the two links for drivers here on the forums when I click them i just get the run around about download managers.
Does anyone have a link by any chance to drivers that I can install that will work with Windows 7 64bit or point me in the right direction if I have missed the correct page that tells me how to do it.
Many thanks
Oh and under device manager "Android phone" has a yellow triangle next to it with an exclamation mark in it.
Sorted
Get the latest Sync software, also find a download for the older HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe package, start the Sync install as admin and then when it throws up the driver installation error box don't press anything but install the older driver pack...again as admin, once installed click ok on the error box and complete the Sync install....job done
Let me say beforehand that I am a lifetime lurker. I would not be posting here if I hadn't already spent at least two days scouring the web for an answer.
My HTC Desire HD cannot connect to HTC Sync, but it can connect as a storage device, and can be seen by adb. Whenever it connects while in hboot/fastboot, it will flicker "USB" a few times before Windows tell me it's not recognized (Device failed enumeration code 43). This includes using the RUU wizard from HTC. That will just make it stick on "RUU" in the bootloader.
I have tried every driver download suggested on this site. I have switched USB cables three times (all htc cables). I have used two seperate computers (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1).
I'll admit I'm a nooby specifically to Androids. All I want to do is flash new ROMs/root my device. As far as I know this is step one, and I can't go any further until I've unlocked my bootloader.
EDIT: SOLVED
HTC Desire HD drivers really hates Windows 8 and 8.1. Installed Windows 7 32-bit and it worked just fine.
That error can be a pain in the ass. I have it as well. I believe disabling griver signature enforcement in win8 (it's your OS, isn't it?) should allow installing adb drivers, but I was too lazy to check it. As a workaround I instead flash the boot.img in bootloader by putting it to PD98IMG.zip
I can upload you a template, leave the txt in it and replace the boot.img with your desired one, choose store (none) compression level, then put the zip directly (don't use folders) in sd card
EDIT: I didn't fully read your post before. If you don't have S-OFF most probably you can't get away without adb drivers..
Turned off device signing. No effect.
Have you tried now manually installing drivers in device manager while the phone is in unrecognized state? Does it still say the drivers are incompatible?
If your OS is 64bit, you need these http://d-h.st/23V
I have those drivers. I installed them manually. I tried the updating the drivers through device manager and pointing them directly to the drivers folder I need, and Windows is insistent that not having ANY drivers installed is the best driver to have installed for my device.
I am getting a pop up saying that the device is failing to to start. It's not like other usb devices I might have plugged in and they just sit there in at least their correct category in device manager.
The part that ticks me off most, is that this exact problem on this exact model has been solved on three different forums, and each time the OP just said "nvm I fixed it" and never even bothered to explain how for the rest of us.
It's really hard not to curse right now.
in device manager update dialog goto
browse my computer --> let me pick --> have disk --> choose the .inf from the drivers path.
Ya, I had tried that too. None of them will work. It says the file I chose doesn't have compatible software for my device.
Once again, this only happens in the hboot/fastboot/RUU. Once the phone has loaded the OS it works totally completely fine, save for HTC Sync not seeing the phone and vice versa. I don't understand why some drivers would only work sometimes unless something is wrong with my bootloader, and if so, how do i fix it?
have you tried un-installing HTC SYNC?

Nothing is wrong with your phone, same thing happens to me, I just thought disabling driver signing should fix it, like I said I was too lazy to check it since I found workaround for my needs.

It is currently uninstalled.
@smoger:
I would try your workaround, but I' m not sure where to obtain the boot image I need. Also, I thought you could only change the S-Off if your bootloader was unlocked anyways?
Power down DHD and connect it to PC. I realized, my win7 was installing drivers, while phone was off.

It appears to be the same device/drivers when powered off or when in the Android environment. While in the bootloader, it shows as an unknown device.
I also noticed that only when I am trying to update via RUU, it says instead "Device Descriptor Request Failed"

The boot.img is in the ROM-zip-file packed. But I think, if its a RUU it is called PD98...img
Try this, I know its from Samsung, but this installs fastboot drivers and drivers used for ADB access

For the set of Google Drivers, go here too http://d-h.st/23V
My drivers list does not show the Google or HTC drivers like yours does after installing all the things in your links. In fact, that's the fourth time I've downloaded those Google/HTC Win7 64x drivers from people around the web. They are not in my drivers list after installing them via the INF files. I must be doing something wrong.

To be exact I have:
Tried HTC Sync
Tried HTC Drivers Installer
Tried to Automatically search for drivers
Tried to install drivers by using the inf Install option
Tried to manually select drivers by pointing to the folder the Win7 64x drivers were placed
Tried to manually install by picking out the exact inf files
Tried to install from device drivers list, were they were not listed
Tried these steps with driver signing turned off
Tried all of these steps with another PC
I still think the issue is related to the fact that it only has problems in the bootloader menu
Ok, like u know I had this issue. Now I randomly managed to fix it when I needed adb drivers for my new toy (Sanei tablet for 40$ lol)
The mistake I was making is that I was trying to install the drivers while device was in fastboot, but apparently you can get away with casual "My HTC" drivers which can be installed when DHD is booted into Android. It looks likethe phone is not being detected from bootloader (it doesn't like any of the drivers I had tried), but I can fully use ADB while it's in recovery or starting/trying to boot OS, so it should be enough for rooting/unlocking bootloader.
I remember with HTC Wildfire I had drivers package with seperate drivers for Android and fastboot, so I had to install different driver after rebooting to fastboot, but with these new drivers and win8 it doesn't work out this way.
Solved. Used Windows 7 32-bit. Windows 8.1 was the culprit.

I am facing the same problem and I too have tried different methods like you did. Am using Windows 8.
Gotta try on Windows 7. Shall update if that solves my problem too.
OMG... finally got it working. I installed HTC Sync Manager again and decided to run it and see what happened. While it was scanning for music on my computer windows installed the drivers. More than once it seems.
Now I need to know if I can uninstall Sync Manager but keep the drivers. It keeps opening up and I don't know if it's safe to flash recovery if that's going to happen.
Flashed TWRP successfully and made my back up.
--------------------------
OLD NEWS BELOW:
Here's the deal... I just flashed the 3.x RUU so I'm stock but I'm unlocked and s-off. I'm trying to flash TWRP via fastboot so I can get a custom ROM on here. I turned on USB debugging on the phone.
First of all, that stupid HTC Sync manager keeps trying to install and I don't know how to stop it. Googling has not helped with this.
Second, I can't get the device to be seen in adb, or at least not online. I seem to be going backwards with all the steps I have taken to try to get this to happen.
I'm using dotatt's adb package. When I attach the phone while it is off windows looks for drivers and usually fails. One time it seemed to work and adb saw the device but then when it boots up that Sync Manager wants to install so I decline. Then my phone was seen but listed as offline.
So I tried uninstalling all HTC things on my computer and reattach phone. Didn't help anything. I tried installing the HTC Sync then uninstalling it thinking I would get the drivers, no go.
I grabbed these Universal ADB drivers http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver linked to from a twrp page here https://twrp.me/devices/htconem9.html
Nothing lists as a device in ADB at all now.
My windows Device Manager shows "Unkown Device" under "Other Devices" with no driver listed.
Tried this:
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Still not working.
ACK! Can anyone help me out?
Is there still an issue with using usb 3.0 ports? I feel like I heard something about that way back when.
That's pretty much how it's always been. Best way to get the appropriate drivers is to install HTC sync, let it do its thing, reboot the PC, then uninstall HTC sync without removing the drivers. To the best of my knowledge, been that way since at least the days of the Incredible, if not before. At least it's how I've always gotten the drivers to use adb.
Yeah I remember that from the Rezound, which is why I did that, but it seems that the drivers didn't actually get installed this time until I let HTC Sync Manager start running and scanning my computer. That's when I saw the message that it was looking for drivers and twice it told me it installed them.
I would think it would have them installed during the 'actual' installation process. So I guess I just uninstalled prematurely. Seems weird. But it's working now so all good.
