simple question about adb driver installation

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.

i tried command "adb device", i got some serial number, does that mean adb driver has been successfully installed on my pc, and work properly?

[HELP] device not shown in adb

Well my htc wildfire is not shown in the list when i execute the command adb devices, and its not present in the windows device manager. However if i enter recovery and plug the usb in, it recognizes my wildfire as android device- my htc and i can see it in the adb devices. Does anyone know how i can install it properly so i can see it in my adb devices when im not in recovery? I had it working somehow in the past but i formatted my pc and cant do it :S

I had that issue too and created a thread but it solved itself somehow. You should download the Universal ADB driver (you can download them here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. And you can also install the PDA Net drivers for the Wildfire.

Thanks for the reply, however i solved it by reflashing the rom in my wildfire. Thanks

[Q] HTC One X Driver for Android 4.2.2

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

adb doesnt recognise my phone anymore

I have an HTC One M8, bought from UAE. I rooted it and it all went well. Now I want to get OTA updates on the phone and I want to unroot for the moment. The problem is that I connect my phone to my laptop run adb but it doesnt do anything. All it says is list of devices attached and thats it. Nothing else at all. I cant give my phone commands or anything of the sort. I want to update my phone to the latest android version with sense 7 and I would prefer that I have a stock rom hence the OTA but without getting my phone recognised with ADB I dont know how to do it. Please help!
P.s. I am running windows 7 and my CID is HTC__J15
I got the CID from an app from the app store, dont know if its legit but I the gulf region uses this CID so I guess its safe to assume its correct.
P.s.s. Yes I have tried reinstalling HTC drivers and it hasnt done anything. The device manager doesnt have any unknown device listed either. Yes USB Debugging is also on and I get the notification on the phone as well but my computer doesnt recognise it.
P.s.s.s. Is there anyway to get the latest OTA without hooking my phone up to the computer? I'm not a tech guy so I need help. A step by step would be very nice. Thanks

Boot into bootloader and perform the "fastboot getvar all" command. Post the output here without IMEI and serial no. as the software number is needed to provide further instructions and identify the correct RUU and/or backup you'd need.

Meaning the device doesn't show up at all in Device Manager (HTC, Android phone, etc.)?
If you boot the phone into bootloader-fastboot mode, any response to fastboot commands (fastboot devices, etc.). Sometimes fastboot works, when adb doesn't. And fastboot is the really critical one you want.

I tried booting into fastboot mode and then hooking it up with the computer. I enter the fastboot getvar all command and all I get is < waiting for device > it just stops there for as long as I wait and it doesnt do anything. Please help!!! I've tried different cables as well. Also a different laptop. I'm not sure whats wrong. The sync manager doesnt work either. Doesnt detect my phone :crying:

Did you activate the developer options and if so USB debugging as well. Did you try installing Sync Manager to install the needed HTC drivers, uninstall it (as it interferes with adb/fastboot sometimes) to just keep the drivers? Which adb/fastboot are you using?

Try this: Go into Windows Device Manager, find the device, pick the option to manually select the drivers. Then pick the generic Android MTP device drivers (or some such name like that). I often have to do this to get my home computer to pickup my phone via adb/fastboot, while MTP works just fine.

I have both developer options and USB debugging on. I also tried drivers that came with the phone via the sync manager. Tried after getting rid of the sync manager but it still doesnt work. I can get my software number from setting>about etc no? My CID and Software number is all I need to unroot the phone and install the stock recovery, if I'm not mistaken? I am completely dumb at this tech thing. I'm a civil engineer. I understand concrete and rebar

I'd suggest downloading the drivers again and first of all try with another USB data cable. If it doesn't show up at all, it sounds as if you got a connection problem. So could also be caused by a defective cable and/or USB port on your phone.
I'd check the following:
1) try connection to another USB port
2) try with another data cable
3) download latest HTC drivers from HTC.

I had this happen to me and to resolve it I went into the C: drive of my computer and in the program files folder I located the HTC folder. Once there I looked for the apk files that allow you phone to connect to HTC sync. If I remember correctly, I copied apk file #2 to my phone and installed it. Once it was install that issue went away. To be on the safe side, copy and install each apk file one at a time(there should be 5 of them) to your phone. Only one of them will install the others will not. This will help you to locate and install the correct apk file. Once you have found and installed the correct one, you can removed the other apk files that wouldn't install and reboot your phone. After that connect your phone to your computer, and htc sync and adb should recognize your device. There is a thread on this but I can not remember where to locate it.

No fastboot!

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?
