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...

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

If you have Windows 7,8,8.1 just enable automatic update and let windows install correct drivers

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.

what does our phone have to be in to use adb? ive never used it before but want to to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader and losing my info. is it rebooted in adx mode? just turned on normally? off?
thanks!
You cannot root without unlocking the bootloader! To access adb you need to be in OS and have debugging enabled under Developer options in the settings.

does anyone have any suggestions? i did remember to leave usb debugging on.

So there's nothing listed if you input :
adb devices
You are connected via usb with debugging enabled?
Edit: could you also open up device manager in windows and have a look if the device is listed

usb is enabled.
nothing is listed under ADB, but there is my serial number listed under fastboot. I uninstalled all drivers the toolkit and the SDK. I am going to try the toolkit again now that everything is been uninstalled. The device will be listed in Windows but usually without the ADB driver listed, however the fastboot driver is listed.
now that I tried using the toolkit,
I still had the same problem with no ADB but fastboot was the listed. Then I went to uninstall the drivers through the toolkit and I got an error message saying that they remove failed three times and that no device was removed. However the device still exists under portable devices in the device manager. I am going to uninstall the toolkit after removing the drivers and remove all the drivers from the device manager and then try using just the SDK to route the phone.
after using the toolkit, I am now getting Samsung ADB interface driver installed on my computer. However the toolkit cannot access or realize that ADB is connecting to my phone. I do have USB debuggingenabled. I might try using the SDK to manuallyto connect to it.
fixed the problem. i plugged my phone in directly to the computer instead of through a usb splitter. got it rooted via this post

Hey all, trying to push gtalk library files to MildWild 4.3 system dir has turned into a massive headache.
ADB doesn't recognize I have my device connected. Commands always return "error:device not found". "adb devices" command returns blank.
From the tutorials I've read in these forums, I was under the impression HTC Sync drivers in fastboot mode are needed to use ADB. No dice. I've tried other drivers I've found in the forms as well: "android-usb-driver.zip" from unrevoked and "adb_driver_htc.zip" (found this in the sim unlock utility thread).
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
What is the proper name of the device in device manager? Right now I'm using HTC Sync drivers in fastboot and the name is: Android USB Devices > My HTC.
The guides I've read never touch on this issue, they always skip it and assume the device is connectable.
Thanks in advance

To use ABD you need to be connected in recovery or a booted device.

Brilliant. Like you said, ADB recognized my device in both booted OS and recovery. However, I needed to be in recovery to push files to the system directory. Thanks.
You're welcome. You can push in booted device you just need to enable superuser rights in adb shell.

90% of the time the problem is with the drivers etc. Use this tutorial to fix that : http://goo.gl/OS3Vi
If you still encounter the problem then you can use ADBwireless available at google play to wirelessly connect your device to the computer
Hope it helps :highfive:
Unchecking MTP did it. Thanks!!
Why is that necessary on the N7Flo but not my old N7 or the N4 (or any other device I've had contact with for that matter)?
Also, anyone know how I can get devices to show up as a folder...you know...like a thumb drive?

You can't. Both the n4 and the n7 have their memorys formatted as ext4, partition type that windows can't access normally. MTP was the only sollution google had.

Been so busy in the past few months or so that I couldn't do my helpful stuff. Now I have more free time.
Awesome tutorials! this is where I'm stuck at the moment.
I went as far as to restore my computer to Windows 7 and start over erasing everything. I've tried different USB cables. I know it won't work on my USB 3, i Have one USB 2, I believe I have the drivers installed. I even went as far as to download and install Cyanogenmod on my Verizon HTC One. Enable root, Apps and ADB. allow USB Debugging. I also uninstalled HTC Sync, because another XDA guy mentioned that it can get in the way of things. here is where i am stuck at when attempting to lock my Boot loader.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell
error: device not found
So that is where I am stuck. I see my phone reads fastboot usb, and it will do other commands, so i know it is connected, just not recognizing it? Dumb question, but if I RUU to say 4.2.2, because my phone is able to do that, can I do a software update and install 4.4.2, would that LOCK my bootloader and get me on the right software, so that all i have to do is give the command to go from S-Off to S-On? or will that command even work for me because i cant get the command to even open the shell? Also, is there a way to manually install a driver? I go to my device manager in control panel, and I'm not seeing anything that says Other Devices > One.(UPDATE; I found where HTC is in device manager, I tried updating the driver manually, it say's that driver is already up to date.) and I've gone to the start menu > Run > and ran a command to allow me to install unknown drivers to Windows 7. I have also unplugged anything usb on my laptop, including my wireless mouse.
I've been trying really hard to get my phone back to stock to return back to HTC. Probably a solid 10 to 12 hours last night and this morning working on it. lol
Update: Am I supposed to do anything with Android SDK?
Update 2: I can flash Decripted RUU running adb on CMD with commands and have HTC's Official software running with no problem and it recognizes my phone plugged in. So i went back to Cyanogenmod for now. but for whatever reason, adb device and adb shell are not recognizing my phone that is plugged in
Update 3. Re-installed HTC Sync and installed HTC Sync Manager for the fun of it, and now daemon doesn't even show up when doing command adb devices
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
Update 4: I swear, when we get this working, I'm gonna send whoever a little kickback through Pay pal for helping out with my issues.lol. I feel that maybe it could be my laptop, I'll have to try my 10 year old toshiba.

Uninstall the phone in device manager. Disconnect the phone. Disable windows updates to prevent it from auto installing a generic windows driver. Then plug the phone back in and try to manually install the driver from the video.
Okay. I'll try that out here in a little bit. Another thing I found to be odd, is that my OS is showing up as blank. I hope it will show the correct OS that I'm on, when I get far enough to flash an RUU.
Success! I had to disable updates, even after that, it still would update when plugged in. So I uninstalled updates. Then, I had to catch the device drivers before updating by cancelling them. Installed drivers like in the video, followed steps, everything is a success! this post should be stickied, but that's just me. Good job!

Glad you got it working.
Windows update is nice, but it is really annoying when you want to manually install a better driver.
Great tutorials. Much appreciated.
Can you verify this is working for version 4.4.2? I gave up on my One a while back after running into 8.1 driver issues. Apparently that has been resolved now as well.

I rooted and got S-Off on Win 8.1. I was stock 4.4.2 at the time and never rooted a smartphone before. The tutorial for the driver was spot on. As for the other 2 tutorials, I didn't use them as I found the rest of the process to be pretty straight forward (using WeakSauce & Firewater to root and get S-OFF).

Excellent to hear. Been waiting for this to get sorted out. Will report back when I get time to sit down and run through it all.
I can confirm it works on win 8, got my surface pro adb and fastbooting like a baws in minutes. As above poster mentioned, you either have to uninstall and prevent auto device installation, or if you find it in device manager you can force update the driver , you may have to take the extra step to "Have Disk", manually select the androidusb.inf file from unpacked drivers, then select My HTC

What version of Windows?
If it is Windows 8 you need to make sure that you installed the drivers while signature enforcement was off. I have also posted an updated video with new drivers, give it a try.
I'm having some trouble and I think it might be related to drivers. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.5 so I downloaded the LGUnitedMobile_Mac_Driver_Ver_4.22 from here:
http://www.andromods.com/download-files/latest-lg-g4-drivers-usb-adb-win-mac.html
I installed, restarted computer. When I plug in the G4 via USB I don't get the popup requesting ADB access. (I've got USB debugging on in Developer Options and it shows as on in Developer Options as well as a notification in the pulldown menu). If I tap on the notification from the pulldown for MTP options I'm asked if I want to install the drivers. So, I do that too and wait for it to complete. Still no ADB popup. If I open the Debloater tool, no welcome popup and the "device connected" light is red.
I tried toggling between MTP and PTP and still nothing. Tried unauthorizing my computer in Developer Options, unplugging, and waiting. Tried restarting phone.
Further, if I open Android File Transfer I get a message "No Android device found" whereas before trying to install the driver it found the G4 just fine. Ran the uninstall script from the LG driver software and Android File Transfer then CAN see the phone.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated - I'm trying to run the Debloater tool (which can't see the G4 either no matter what I try).

You won't get the adb popup until you run an adb command in terminal. for example adb devices command is what triggered my popup.

Thanks for the response. Tried that (typed adb devices in Terminal) and got this: -bash: adb: command not found
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Do you have installed the android sdk?

If I remember correctly you need to download the android sdk and install the sdk and platform tools. When you do this make sure you make a folder on your desktop and name it whatever you want, and when you install the sdk make sure the install path goes to the folder you made. Then open a terminal window and navigate to the folder you installed the sdk to.
Then run the adb command, but it will be slightly different:
./adb devices

Not root, used Debloater tool to block updates. Would love to see a Mac root method released.
oh i see then. i will keep patiently waiting for a simpler root method. this one is already but for sure there has always been even more simpler methods surfaced.
