Hey all. This is for those of you having issues with ADB and Windows.
Source link
This is assuming you already have the SDK, it's installed, you're just having issues with the actual ADB driver.
Basically you download PDANet - it will take care of of the ADB drivers for you. Note - you WILL have to reboot the computer before the drivers actually work. Thanks to robinsondom for the linky, and thanks to theunlockr.com for that fantastic guide! It appears to cover basically any issues you may run into with ADB and Windows!
Hi arrrghhh,
I had a similar problem getting the drivers to work on my PC. I bookmarked a site that was very helpful, as I recall, in resolving this. Unfortunately, I still might have too few posts to upload a link. Let's see...
ok, that didn't work... maybe my next post...?
Hmm, you would think that 3+ years of responsible "lurking" (plus a few posts) might take me out of the "new user" category and allow me to post links -- but it seems I still need 5 posts no matter what. Maybe after this post (my 5th)...?
Trying one last time to post the link I mentioned...

I hope you find it helpful.

lol I just thought a bunch of people responded
Unfortunately lurking for 3 or 30 years doesn't really make a difference. All goes by post count, you need 5 to be able to post a link. You're now at 6, congrats
I'll try that out now... I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
Update - that did it! I'm definitely saving this article. It seems USBDeview should only be used if your PC isn't prompting you.
I was pretty skeptical, but for whatever reason the drivers that PDANet offered to the system it took, when the ones that worked previously (same PC, same phone....) didn't work. Go figure.
Thanks again dude!
I updated my first post with credit & the solution. Awesome!

Download and install Droid Explorer standalone version.
Hi,
I've installed SDK and then the PDANet Software and it solved my driver problems. And now with the Droid Explorer I should be able to access my device and the SD card, but the Explorer does not find my HTC Touch Pro. What shall I do now??
Sry, I'm a Newbie in this Android stuff and I am very confused ^^

Hrm. Do you see the two USB-related icons in the notification bar in Android? It indicates two things, USB debugging (aka ADB) and USB mass storage (not working yet... probably not till we're full NAND.) So make sure it's enabled there... One other possibility is you're using a very old kernel that doesn't include USB support...?
ADB is a very advanced tool/topic... it's mainly for debugging. Not really noob-friendly - we're not at that stage yet.
Yes, I can see the two icons. I don't know what you mean with kernel?!
I just want to put some music on my device, without pulling out the card or using Windows Mobile Am I on the wrong way?

Uhm... probably easier to just pull the card. ADB is really meant to be used for debugging issues.
It's just the only way we can currently access the device in lieu of USB mass storage support.
Not sure what confused you about my kernel statement. Perhaps you need to update your kernel, that's all I'm saying... if you're running an older kernel, it might not have the correct support.
However, if you saw the icons in the notification bar, I would think USB support is working.
Hi
recently, i decided it was time to wipe my computer clean and do a fresh install (you know, its like flashing roms, sometimes fresh is better) so i reinstall win 7 ultimate x64 and for the life of me, i cannot get adb to recognize my g2 with cm7 rc1... ive searched through several threads on installing the proper drivers, installed the most recent version of htc sync, latest android sdk, and nothing... its not such a big deal, but i would like to flash to the final of cm 7, but i dont like a lot of the fluff in cm7 (adw, etc) and find it easier to remove and change things around through adb.
thanks in advance
Did you use the installer to install the android sdk? I had issues as well with that one. Removed it and just extracted the .zip package, after that it worked fine.
This REALLY is a tricky one. In the past I've had luck installing both the HTC sync software, and PDANet. Between those two all the drivers seem to work for me in Win 7 64bit.
Why not just use a file manager like 7zip to remove/add the things you want prior to flashing. Or do you just like doing things the hard way?

Unless it's specifically a problem with Ultimate, there's no reason it won't work. I run Win 7 Home Premium x64 at home and the steps I said work for me.
I run 7 ultimate 64bit and adb works fine for me.
I used the pdanet drivers.
Flash with rom manager and then install zip from card..the adwmod zip that is..take it out for you

I have to agree with everyone else on this. I'm running Windoze 7 X64 and adb works just fine. I also have Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and Sabayon 64bit on my HDD (yay multiboot!) and neither of them have issues either.

i use winrar to change files around before i flash it, but lately ive been having problems with the edited rom (i.e. install fails, boot looping even after a data/cache wipe, etc) i just wanted to try a different route this go around
You could try another usb cord, and make sure everything is installed under admin,and the way I got my drivers I edit the driver file and added the info for G2 (saw it in tmobile forum) and also I have no problem with win 7 x64 aswell... and I agree I don't like all the extra puff and bluff oin cm7
well, i havent been able to get a wired adb to connect, but i have gotten it to work with wirelessadb and i am now rockin a modified cm 7 final
I did a search for this but unfortunately came up with nothing. I just picked up my HTC One X yesterday and today found out about HTC Sync Manager. I wanted to give it a try so I downloaded it. After everything had finished installing and I launch the program, an error comes up that says:
"HTCSyncManager.exe has stopped working"
I've tried uninstalling and re-downloading the software, but that didn't work. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, then re-downloading and re-installing, but that didn't work either.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? I searched the HTC site as well and there wasn't much help there either.
same here
Just downloaded the Sync manager myself and had the exact same problem running in win7. I might try installing it in XP compatible mode see it that makes a difference (it probably won't but might be worth a try). HTC are having one disappointment after the other with their One series.

I've had no issues with my phone at all - same with the majority of users. You only ever read of issues but never of successes...

Let me know your results of running it in compatibility mode please. I suppose I'll send an e-mail to HTC and see if they have any answers.
Experiencing same problem
Hi, me too have the very same problem.
Win 7, same error message. Compatibility mode/ Reinstall DOES NOT help!
I've sent visual studio debug trace with detailed info to HTC.
Technical Support Agent replied that they will investigate the issue.
I haven't spotted new HTCSyncManager(1.0.34.4169) version since then (2012-06-05).
Hey guys!
I'm new here, but i've read alot on xda since the past few years. I have a Problem with my Elephone P8000 that's driving me nuts.
I wanted to install the Nexus ROM on it, but it already fails at the intallation of the drivers. I'm working with Computers everyday, but I really can't get a solution on this.
My computer (Win7 Pro 64bit) doesn't recognize the phone. I just hear a "connected" sound and then a "disconnected" Sound. The only drivers my PC installs are the Android MTP Drivers, but as I understood, I need the MT67xx Drivers which I can get from the SP_Drivers_V2.0 but it won't work. Including these problems, my computer is now in Build 7601, which I can fix, but maybe that helps.
I'd really like to use this ROM, because of the few bugs in the stock ROM of the P8000.
I hope you can help me.
Best,
TheOnlyCoon

Great all credit to skeleton1911 though.
I'm trying to restore my HTC to stock and flash the stock recovery, but my device isn't found via fastboot anymore. It worked fine for a long time until suddenly stopping (might be a Windows 10 thing). I checked my PC's device manager, and it is showing an error next to the HTC 10 under ADB Interface. I tried to use "search the internet for drivers" which comes back with nothing. I also tried installing HTC's Sync Manager, but it won't install the USB/fastboot drivers for the 10. Fastboot works fine for my S7 Edge, and Nexus 6P, so it must be an issue with the lack of drivers (showing none in the device manager) for my HTC 10. If someone has them, or a link to them that would be great!
Update: someone PM'D me to drivers which fixed the issue. Credit is given in post #4 thank you to everyone that helped. I will uplaod the drivers if anyone wants them

HTC Manager installs an older version of ADB in its app directory structure. Rename the adb.exe there to adb.old and see if that works for you.

@alobear gave me a link to the drivers which fixed it. I tried uninstalling HTC sync manager and reinstalling the Android SDK which didn't work. The drivers I was given however do work!
I can upload then to my Google Drive or AFH if anyone wants them
Haha good to know they worked man. ?

I was able to flash a stock recover (not the T-Mobile one), change my CID and relock the BL with S-ON in preparation for sending it back while I wait on a replacement.

Just remember to open your device manager (on a PC), find your HTC 10, then update the drivers with these ones that worked for me:

Some things will never change lol. I've used HTC devices since the Hero came out... And those are just the Android ones. Ironically the WM devices never really gave me much trouble.

I've always had drivers issues with non Nexus phones for some reason. HTC, Moto, Samsung, LG etc all gave me issues at some point. Drivers are key to have around jsut in case. Im running the W10 insider builds which are a nightmare to opt out of (I can't even with a clean install and new account, Microsoft might replace my Surface becusse they can't figured out the issue either). Anyway I'm glad everything worked out for you via the drives.

Yeah I'm on the Insider Preview too on the fast ring. So far I haven't had any major issues but if anything would give me issues it would by HTC Sync.

It ran fine for a long time before I started to have issues, then things went south fast. HTC sync reminds me of Kies from Samsung in a lot of ways (none of them are good).
