[Q] PC (HTC Sync) Won't install drivers - HTC One X

Hello,
I have a problem the my HTC One X and my (Windows 7 x64) Computer. It won't install the correct drivers to use ADB and to see it in Windows Explorer. I've tried everythingI can think of. I know there thousands of other threads like this, and I read many of them but none provide a solution for me :/. I'm sure my One X is not the problem, it's working fine, I have a laptop wich also runs Windows 7 x64 and it's all working fine on it. (It's a Lenovo Ideapad Z500, i7 version) What I've tried:
- 4 different USB Ports (I have tried 2 USB2 ports and 2 USB3 ports. No luck.
- Remove the device from system using Windows Device Manager -> Disconnect phone -> Install HTC Sync -> Reboot -> connect phone. Nothing happens, Windows reports no drivers can be found.
- Manually select drivers from the HTC Sync Installation folder. Windows tells me those aren't the correct drivers. (For me: C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64)
And yes, USB debugging is on, and I do accept HTC Sync Manager on my phone. I am running ARHD 31.0. My phone does connect OK in Fastboot mode, by the way. I can use Fastboot commands perfectly fine. (Flash boot/recovery image, clear cache etc etc)
I have no idea what to do to get it working, but maybe you guys do? Any tips/ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Had this problem last week. I solved it this way:
- Uninstalled HTC Sync + HTC Drivers
- Installed ADB Universal Drivers: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Clockworkmod/Clockworkmod-Universal-Android-ADB-Driver.shtml
- Rebooted PC
- Booted my HOX in bootloader
- went to fastboot
- connected usb cable between pc and hox
- went in recovery mod (latest cwm version)
- from there I was able to push adb commands from my pc
I basically did what is said on this page: http://news.softpedia.com/news/A-Clockworkmod-Universal-ADB-Driver-Is-Finally-Up-for-Grabs-343944.shtml
You can also use ADB over network if your phone boot properly and if your PC is on the same wifi network.

Thanks Alray for the tips but it doesn't install that driver either. Still a big ! in device manager named Android Phone. And I shouldn't need to push anything to the phone AFAIK, as I said it all works fine on the laptop, Including ADB!

What if u turn on 'automatically install from windows update' option and let the windows make the work.

It says it can't find good drivers in Windows Update.

Did u enabled the option?
This morning I faced the same problem since I recovered my pc to windows 7 x64 ultimate. And fixed it through the option, when I come home ill take screenshots and post. Btw the options are in the bottom of the window where it says driver failed.

All options I can find about downloading drivers from the internet are enabled. When I tell the PC to look online for drivers, it won't find anything.
EDIT:
Okay, I had the setup look thru the whole C drive looking for drivers, it reported it found one. But failed installing because files were missing..... !? That makes me think there's something corrupt in Windows/System32/Drivers or somewhere in those driver folders.

Try this Link I think it is helpfull, if didn't help I will but when I reach home.

Thanks for the link I was looking for something like that. But nothing works, I already had setup everything automatic updating and driver search thru windows update. It can't find any drivers.

Hey, I just wanted to chime in on this thread because I'm having precisely the same problem as Qubica.
I'm using Windows 7/64 and I've been using this laptop to manage/root/ADB several Android devices for as long as I've owned it.
I noticed last Friday that I could no longer mount my T-Mobile G2 either as a USB mass-storage device nor could I connect to it using ADB. This was the day after Windows Update installed a bunch of patches, and I had also installed the updated chipset drivers for my laptop a few days earlier.
I took a look at the device manager and this is what I saw:
(android_devmgmt.png)
Now, that's weird because I mount the storage card at least two times a month to move files around. So I did what seemed like the reasonable thing and Uninstalled the device altogether, and then installed the HTC Sync app to reinstall the drivers, as I had done originally. Unfortunately, the "Android Phone" non-detection of the device has persisted.
The installation logs from the HTC Sync app also indicates that the drivers were successfully installed, but the installer seems to quit about halfway through the process, so it's not at all clear that the installation logs are accurate.
Here's what the properties sheet of that device looks like:
(android_devmgmt_properties.png)
I've been following the advice I've read here and elsewhere: I've attempted to download several different versions of the HTC drivers from various locations and manually point Device Manager at the folders containing those drivers. I've extracted and executed the HTCDriver.exe installer separately from the HTC Sync installer. I've attempted to install generic ADB drivers from a number of locations, including Google and the Clockworkmod Universal ADB drivers.
Here's the result when I try to install the drivers (by pointing Windows at the correct location for the driver files) or if I allow Windows Update to search for the drivers:
(cant-find-android-driver.png)
So, this morning I tried the more drastic step of uninstalling all of the USB Root Hub devices and rebooting the laptop. When the computer came back, it did not automagically reload those generic drivers, but fortunately I was able to manually choose the generic (Standard USB Host Controller) -> USB Root Hub device from the list of options, and it worked---for getting the USB ports to function, but not the Android device.
I've also checked to make sure there were no software restriction policies in place in gpedit.msc that affected the installation of the drivers, and found none. I also poked around in the Registry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles path and found no problems there with either permissions or settings.
I'm basically at my wit's end here; Windows is behaving like the driver installation is subject to a software restriction policy -- seemingly, actively preventing the driver from being installed -- but nothing shows up in the logs that would indicate that a policy is in place. The laptop can't mount the device, and I'm kind of stuck.
I guess I'll follow the thread for a while and see if anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks in advance to all that offer their help.

Hi, I've did everything you did execept for uninstalling the USB root hub and looking in the registry, I hope someone has a solution....

Anybody?

I prefer uninstalling the driver (Called unknown device, and it appears when I plug the device) from device manager, unplug your device then replug it again and wait for windows to get your driver.

Not at the moment, but I can get it.

If you can't solve the drivers problem, install linux then install adb and fastboot packages from the sftware marketplace. That should help.

[TUTORIAL] How to get ADB Bridge Interface working on Windows 8

I recently faced problem getting access to adb from windows 8 because of non compatible drivers... I searched a bit and found the drivers but they were followed by more problems such as unsigned drivers and ****.
So I made a simpler guide for everyone who was frustrated trying to get ADB working on Windows 8.
Files needed:
1. Drivers Mediafire | Dropbox
2. ADB Interface
Steps:
1. Download and Extract the drivers to any folder.
2. Now we need to disable signature checker. We can follow this guide
3. Now connect the phone. Make sure your android debugging is enabled.
4. Go to device manager. (Go to Start, start typing device manager, in that search click settings and select device manager)
5. Now find "Android Phone" with a yellow error sign in front. It will be expanded by default.
6. Right click on it and select update driver.
7. Select browse my computer.
8. Link to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Check the subfolder.
9. Click next. It'll display a warning. Select Install anyway.
10. Completed.
11. You may now download SDK and ADB.
Thanks to all the sites I linked and oops I forgot where I got the drivers from lol.
P.S. It is just tested on Wildfire S, It may work with other htc phones too and maybe with others too. Please Inform in thread if it works with your device.
thanks

Problem making Windows 8 recognized my One V for rooting and using fastboot...

Okay, so I got a new laptop that came with Windows 8, and I'm having hard time getting the usb_driver package from the Android SDK to associate with my One V. I keep getting that "Windows could not find driver software for your device." even though I took it straight to the directory where google's usb_driver is. Also, when installed HTC Sync, Windows then says that better drivers for my device are already installed, so I just can't get it to pick up the usb_driver either way... Please help!!

It ended up being much more complicated than I thought it would be, but I got it to work. For starters, I had to manually change the android_winusb.inf file in the usb_driver to associate it with my HTC One V. Second, Windows 8 refuses to install unsigned or modified drivers, so I had to restart my laptop through the "advanced startup" option and allowed installation of unsigned and modified drivers. Third, there seems to be a general problem with using the Android Debug Bridge through a USB 3.0 port, so I had to use a USB 2.0 port.
Are there any other Win 8 users who had an easier time with it, or a better method?

[Q] Unrecognized Device only in hboot/fastboot

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

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.

I cant get adb drivers to work with 8.1. I've tried every driver in the book. Followed a few guides , erased drivers , reinstalled , even at one point tried reinstalling windows , different USB port, different cable . now I am no means a novice , but is there something simple I'm missing ? Any help appreciated

perhaps uncheck mtp and select camera and turn off debugging ? boot into recovery while connected ? that installs a driver also. have you installed a "naked driver " ?

Need more info about your problem. what happens when you type adb devices?
If I'm not mistaken there were a few people that had the same issue and it turned out to be a bug when trying to use a USB 3.0 port on their computers. If you are using a USB 3.0 port for your cable you might wanna try plugging it into a USB 2.0. FYI I could be remembering completely wrong
I did everything but an engineering hboot with USB 2.0 port on an Intel x79 chipset motherboard on Windows 8.1.

I had this problem too but got around it. I had no problem getting the device detected in Fastboot mode, but ADB was a problem. What I did was download and begin installation of the latest HTC sync manager with the phone already connected. It seems the first thing it does is install updated drivers then asks if you want to continue with the installation. I didn't want to install sync manager, so I cancelled the install. However the drivers remained. After a reboot I checked Device manager and sure enough Android 1.0 device was there with working drivers.
Checked the device was recognised with the ADB command ADB DEVICES, but showed no device connected. I then unplugged the USB cable and plugged in to another USB 2.0 port and voila device gets deteced by ADB.
I also had to use this version of ADB http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5mieo2vxjd71ws/android-tools.zip and it had to be the original HTC USB cable and USB debugging enabled in Developer options.
Now for some reason I have to swap USB ports each time ADB doesn't detect the device and pretty much works each time.
I think it's usb3 issue , adb doesn't work on usb3 ports,
there was a subject on how to convert usb3 port into usb2 search the forums
USB 3.0 worked fine for me on 8.1. I used Sooner ADB drivers and manually picked them.

Ya usb3.0 worked for me too on two systems but I do know others had issues so I wanted to point it out.

I have no issues on win 8.1 I use the Google USB drivers that are with the sdk. The first time, I do have to go into device manager and update the driver. When it asks do you want to locate the driver or pick it from a list select pick from a list. There should be an Android entry if you installed the USB driver. Select that and then select adb interface. You'll also have to do the same for fastboot mode the first time.

I couldn't find a working version of ADB for 8.1 however I installed HTC Sync from the virtual CD and that installed all the drivers. Uninstalled sync manager cos I don't use it and the drivers remain and work fine.

check your usb 3 controller. Is it intel 3.0 usb controller. if you see intel xtensible controller in device manager this could be the issue, it can break adb on all ports. here is a link to a fix for this usb problem i can confirm it works as i have had this issue myself. Hope this helps

Had the same issue when trying to achieve root. Booted Windows to advanced start up and disabled the driver enforcement and everything just went smooth from there. Drivers installed just fine and everything just worked.

search for all-in-one-toolkit for the M8. it has links to installing drivers, u can use that toolkit to flash RUU, kernel, recovery, unlock bootloader and even run commands.
I used pdanet to install drivers for fastboot, you might wanna try it.

This is likely the issue.
