[Q] Correct (latest?) drivers/ADB for Vision

Hi guys
I did own a Sapphire/Magic back in the days and came back to Android after some skipping done during the last year. Back then installing usb drivers and adb was easy: plug in the Sapphire, point Windows to the drivers folder, done.
With the Vision/Desire Z it was much more complicated. I did use the old drivers from back then and ran into problems. Device manager had an ADB device listed, ADB couldn't find it though. Once I got it working in Android, it wouldn't interface with the recovery adb though. Once I got that working, it wouldn't show/mount the SD card anymore. Short: a huge mess.
Right now I have everything more or less working (still using the old drivers I used with the Sapphire) but it's not really right, I tried an RUU the other day and it would fail because my ADB/RUU ADB/Driver combination wouldn't match.
Long story short: where did you guys get your drivers from to interface the Vision with ADB/Fastboot?

Update the SDK ...this time its in platform tools. run the sdk update and download the usb drivers. Refresh your SDK.
If you don't want to do that...then install pdanet just to grab the drivers
Or go to cyanogenmod the drivers may be avail in a post from ciwrl in vision.dz download section.

All right, I'm d/ling the Java JDK as prompted by the latest SDK installer
Thanks!

I did this too (SDK + Platform tools) to get ADB/shell. However, I never got fastboot to work (even tried fastboot-mac). Not sure what I was missing, but flashing via SD (including radio) has been working thus far for me. Any recommendations on where to get more info on "fastboot" process, specifically on a Mac?

Hmm... you did notice that the fastboot binary is - at least on Windows - in a different folder than ADB, right?
On Windows its two different paths pointing to either ADB or Fastboot.

[Q] Can't get ADB to work, have tried everything

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?

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.

However, even if I cd in CMD to the platform-tools folder and run adb from there, no luck. ADB itself works perfectly, but it just doesn't recognize my phone.

Hi MatDrOiD.
Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a shot as well as try jhonybravo4u and Antcodd's ideas.
Appreciate all input. If I get it working, I'll be sure to update this post so that anyone else who might have this problem has a solution

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

Phone isnt recognized in fastboot

Can anyone help me?
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.

I would just install HTC Sync, sounds like it's a driver issue and HTC Sync will provide those needed new drivers for HTC.

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

Stuck in mini pooploader (Blue Screen)

I followed the instruction for this link. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347321) Everything was going well. Now I can't get out of mini pooploader. I searched around and was suggested from other peoples issues that I need to install the drivers. I manually installed the drivers, supplied in the link and Windows 7 states that the drivers I have are up to date. DO I need to go to HTC and find there drivers (Which are windows based or find android drivers)
I recently upgraded my XOOM to KIT KAT and am happy with it. I had fast boot and ADB installed for that project. Is that what the problem is? I have co-mingled the downloads for the NAND install with the KIT KAT ADT Bundle?
I have no problem running ADB and seeing SDK recognize the commands. When I try Fastboot commands I get waiting for device messages. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I know this is an old thread and Im hoping someone will be having so much fun this holiday weekend that they'll hop online and help. I hope this use the phone in conjunction with the updated Xoom.
Oh yeah, Thanks to all the VETS out there

Thanks for replying. That's the guide I was using. I can't get into fastboot. ADB commands work. I tried to manually install the drivers (On the computer). Windows 7 says my drivers are up to date. I can't move forward out of mini pooploader (funny name by the way). Any ideas would be appreciated...

I meant to say that I found that thread after being stuck in mini poop mode.

9. Turn the phone back on. You should see a blue miniPooploader screen with a lot of white text scrolling for a moment. When it gets done, pull the battery to shut it off. Then replace the battery (it should still be off)
10. Connect the usb cable between the phone and the PC, and turn the phone on. The PC should see the device, and may or may not assign drivers to it.

have you done this part? when you do the 10th one, your phone should get a black screen and a driver should be automatically installed by windows 7. for me - the driver was HTC Bootloader. after this, i installed the fastboot driver. more specific - the driver in the ADB_fastboot folder. after that - it went smooth.

I followed your advice. I let mini pooploader run the blue screen with white letters. Once finished, I removed the battery, placed the battery back in and then plugged usb into computer. I then powered the phone up with the same results. I performed this task 11 times with the same results. No black screen and no win 7 driver install. The computer says unknown device. I have tried to install drivers and computers states the drivers are up to date. I have tried different USB ports. I have attempted to install HTC drivers someone posed in this forum as well as the drivers that come with SDK with negative results. I have tried to uninstall the drivers in hopes that windows would install upon recognizing device with no luck.
Any ideas? I really need to get this working. i have not had a phone for a week now

Drivers with Windows 10

Hello guys,
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I got the surprise that my computer doesn´t recognize my HTC ONE M8.
I installed HTC Sync for get the lastest drivers but it didn´t help. On Windows I go to device manager and it seems it recognize an "Android device" but with a little exclamation that says that there is no drivers for this device.
Anybody had the same problem? How did you fix it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english.
Regards.

Did you also have this problem on Windows 8.1?
I had the same driver issue when I was running Win 8.1 Pro. I couldn't get the phone to be recognized.
What I ended up doing is downgrade (or should I say upgrade?) to windows 7. All is well now.
If you keep windows 10, you may have to wait until HTC updates their drivers for the new OS. I'm not familiar with any other solution at the moment.

It works with 8.1, but connection can be really sketchy. Connects and disconnects rapidly, but eventually connects.

Did you do a clean install or just upgraded from a previous version?
Did you install HTC Sync for get the drivers or you installed from other site?

I may have had HTC Sync on before - don't recall. This copy of Win10 was an upgrade install from Windows 7.

Follow that link, and download the file
1. Disable Windows driver signature (option 7 from advanced options)
2. Connect phone to PC
3. Go to device manager, you can find it through cmd prompt or cortana
4. Once in device manager, locate anything that says android usb or something like that ( I cant remember)
5. Update the device driver by looking through your computer for the location of ^ above download zip

Edit:
I just did all of what I described above, and TBH I'm not sure if it would work or not. I do not currently have ADB SDK installed on my laptop, but I have found what appears to be a sound-proof method.
