I have an HTC One M8 by T-Mobile, running the latest firmware, unlocked, rooted and on Android 5.0 Lollipop with the stock recovery. (I put the stock recovery back on because I had no need for the custom at the time and charging would bring me through the recovery and be real annoying).
I had no problem doing all of this but now (a few weeks later) I need to get the custom recovery back on in order to flash a new ROM.
Problem is, I'm connecting my phone to my computer and I can't get ADB to connect, HTC Sync Manager shows there's no device connected and windows explorer only shows a new CD Drive connected and mounted on (F that doesn't work and does not act as a storage platform for my phone.
What I have tried:
Disabling USB Debugging
Restarting Phone
Re-enabling USB Debugging
Un-installing HTC Sync Manager
Force installing "androidusb.INF"
uninstalling HTC Sync Manager, unplugging phone, disabling usb debugging, turning off phone and then going back through again, installing, plugging in turning on and enabling.
Really puzzled here, need to connect to ADB to flash custom recovery to go back to my stock ROM.
Try using the generic Android MTP drivers in Device manager. Of course you could also check all the basics as well.
Try a different port or a different cable. Try to kill the adb server and restart it. Can also try revoking the USB permissions and accepting again when prompted on the device.
Though you don't really need adb to flash the recovery, it needs to work in Fastboot mode. ADB will only work in a running OS or in a recovery, fastboot of course from fastboot mode, which is what you'll need in order to flash the recovery. You won't need USB debugging enabled for it either.
Try some of the stuff above, especially if maybe it's a cable or port issue.
I realize you may find a solution before even considering the option below ⬇

If you have an extra rooted device and get the cable coming you will never have to worry about troubleshooting drivers again considering after an ruu or a conversion you will go through the possible issues of drivers more than once
I've changed my CID,MID,flashed recovery with this method.
Being S-OFF I've not needed to try an ruu through ruu mode but would guarantee it will do the job

I wanted to update my ROM, so I downloaded the newest version of Hason2000's Toolkit and was ready to flash the boot.img.
I plug my phone in; both my phone and computer recognizes the connection. I notice that USB Debugging is required so I enable it.
Problem? The computer stop recognizing my phone, the phone sees the connection just fine.
I tried updating the drivers (several times), I tried installing the driver on another computer, no go. Turning off the USB Debugging fixes the problem, but then I can't flash the kernel.
My ROM is IceColdJelly 2.5.1 (old I know), any ideas? :crying:

You should be in fastboot to flash a boot.img.
USB debugging has no effect on fastboot.

Hason2000's All-In-One Toolkit needs USB Debugging to work, it appears to just automate the fastboot commands so I assumed doing it manually would be the same.
I guess I will try it after I DL the files needed, but I still don't understand why USB Debugging stops my computer from seeing the phone.

Yes the toolkit uses ADB to automate the reboot into fastboot mode.
And my understanding is that enabling USB Debugging changes the drivers required so that you can access the ADB interface.
I rooted and installed my first ROM using the toolkit, idk y it's different now.
I will try to flash via fastboot and then ask in the toolkit thread as well since these driver are the ones that the came with the toolkit.
EDIT: Whhhhooaa, did it! Cheers for fastboot

If you want adb usb drivers, i prefer to install moborobo from Moborobo.com.
Start application,
Plug your device with usb debugging on.
and it will do the work.
My HTC one x running cyanogen mod kitkat 4.4
whenever i connect my phone my computer is unable to recognise the device
I've tried everything uninstalled the drivers but nothing works
the device is not recognised in fastboot mode also.
pls help me resolve this issue.
try using a different usb cable. reinstall drivers, a genuine htc usb cable should work. try this as well (worked for me): http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
also in your device manager, check if there is "android phone" with yellow triangle. right click it and update driver manually
If reinstalling drivers fails, and you need to get to stuff stored on it, you could try and mount the storage in your recovery (CWM or TWRP) and get stuff off.
I finally got around to trying to install a custom recovery and root my HTC M8 (Verizon, KitKat 4.4.4).
I had previously unlocked my phone with SunShine - and have S-Off.
I tried installing adb/fastboot/drivers downloading from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48915118
On my phone I turned off fastboot, enabled developer mode, and enabled USB debugging.
I connect my phone, it says USB debugging connected - and my PC (Windows 7) recognized the device.
However, when I try fastboot devices it does not recognize my phone - it returns nothing.
I realized that I had previous versions of adb/fastboot installed on my PC (From HTC Syanc & the WugFresh Nexus toolkit). I uninstalled them and reinstalled the drivers from that link, but still no adb/fastboot.
One thing I noticed is that (unlike the tutorial video on the link) in Device Manager my phone is not recognized under Other devices/ADB interface, but rather appears under Android USB devices / My HTC. I tried following the tutorial and tried to update the driver software, but it was not possible to use the downloaded Google drivers.
I tried unistalling the My HTC driver. The phone then appears for time under Other Devices / Android phone and then it re-installs the My HTC driver.
The PC recognizes it as an MTP/Media Player device, but not as an ASB one.
Any suggestions?
edit: Never mind. Arg, stupid me - I forgot to put the phone into fastboot usb mode.
Yeah....
ADB commands only work in a booted O.S or recovery
FASTBOOT commands only work in the bootloader
I'm stumped with this one. My HTC 10 no longer will connect to my computer at home or at work when I have USB debugging enabled. I don't get any entry in device manager. I'm running the 2.28.617.8 firmware w/ Viper 4.3.1. I utilize the universal adb driver. When debugging is enabled, the phone message says I'm connected to a slow charger. I have verified the ports on both computers are functional by attaching other devices. I have the connection settings for MTP enabled. I also tried revoking the debugging authorizations in the hope it would reset everything. The only way I can find around it, is to turn off usb debugging. Then, when I connect the phone it will mount properly and I can transfer files. This is ok for the short term, but is not ideal. Does anyone know what I might be missing?
I had this same issue after restoring a TWRP backup on a replacement 2.28.617.8 phone. RUU and restore all my settings mostly by hand fixed it.
Do you have HTC Sync installed? Try installing that, connect the phone and on the phone grant HTC Sync permission.
This may be a huge one. Someone accidently resetted my phone. Now i had to start from the start menu. When I connect the wifi after it gets stuck on "checking for updates." So then I wanted to reinstall the rom from via twrp. Now I find out im stuck on this because I have no back up and no extra roms to flash. So I tried to connect to my pc but my phone has issues with connecting on pc. It does not even show up on device manager. No unknown devices no exclamation point. Only way I know it connected is when I disconnect it makes a disconnect sound. Any help? I tried fastboot its a no go, adb sideload just loops on loading, and just recovery and it does not work. Any help please I need this fixed asap.
try to connect on usb2 port. I have similar problems when connected to usb 3 port on laptop or desktop.

Delete all the installed drivers relating to the phone and then connect the phone. Necessary drivers will be installed. If not solved, try another PC, cable, USB port etc.
usbdeview from nirsoft might help you to clean your driver.
When you connect your phone to your computer, is it on fastboot or on recovery ?
You should grab adb and fastboot driver (i'll upload them if needed), go to fastboot and plug your phone.
If you type from command line fastboot devices you should see your devices. If not, driver issue.
If you see it, then flash the official recovery : fastboot flash PathToRecovery\name_of_recovery.img, then sideload latest OB through OP recovery.
I don't know if its the faster option, but its easy as f*ck with that way to come back nearly stock. After that, you could flash twrp and the rom you want.

Get back to stock and don't use mod, or use a stable ROM. Nitrogen 9.0 ROM havn't got issue with sound.
