What's up guys. I have been a flash junkie for the past several weeks.. Flashing Axura, Team Whiskey's roms and everybody else's in between. I bricked my vibrant this past Sunday and needed to Odin back to stock because I could not get into recovery. So I proceeded to open Odin and hook up my phone when I get a message on my PC that my device wasn't recognized. So I went through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling drivers... I had no luck. So I got frustrated and went to a friends house and tried it. WTF? IT WORKS. He also has win7. So after a fresh Odin and back to an unrooted 2.2 I figured I could connect to my computer.... ( ha)... no luck again. So I backed up everything and installed win7 again. Tried it after that and still saying that the device is unrecognized. I know its probably something simple I'm overlooking but if anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated...

I have no problem with W7. It's possible your USB port is taking a dump. Do other USB devices work? Did you try another USB port?
Yep..... the only thing I have hooked up is a printer.... also I have tried all the ports. They all start to download the driver then it stops and the little notification bubble pops up and tells me that my device has stop working.

Try uninstalling the drivers you've at the moment, plug your vibrant and wait for the W7 drivers to install. Windows may have downloaded the drivers from the internet when you first plugged in your vibrant then you installed the drivers on here and **** got confused so if the w7 drivers work and your vibrant is recognized then all's good. Elsewhere, uninstall the drivers and install the xda ones but his time make sure you assign them manually too. (update driver>don't search for driver>let me assign the driver)

This is good start, Also try disabling your virus protection, sometimes it goes wonky and decides to block some of the usb hook up like a camera or phone, this has happened to me in the past.
Win 7 is very stable but on thing as a recommendation if you do not have you might think about getting win pro 64bit, is the most stable I have found...... just an after thought......... hope you get this resolved.
Thanks..... Will definitely try that when I make it home.

^ Then how did it work at your friends?
Also, I have found that if I have my webcam hooked up ODIN will not recognize my phone. REALLY annoying, especially when I try and make video tutorials for you guys.
Anyone know how to fix that?

So my computers internet is not working at all. This occurred after I added the HTC sync software. I'm running Windows XP and i thought at first something was wrong with my internet. After a while I did a system restore and everything was back to normal. I installed the software again and it did the same thing. What's going on and how can i fix this?
Root your phone. Then you won't need HTC Sync to connect you Thunderbolt to your PC.
Are you using a firewall? Maybe it thinks HTC Sync is malware & is blocking your connection. As mentioned above, the best thing to do is ditch HTC Sync altogether, it's pretty useless.

Ok....so how do i go about rooting my phone? I need the usb drivers for my thunderbolt to get the adb to recognize it. I really need the drivers...is there a better way???
Nope. Consider it the price of admission. Read jcase's howto in the dev section. Rooting your phone is not difficult. If you can copy/paste, you can do it.

The rooting part isn't the hard part for me. It's this damn adb. I can't get it to work since i don't have the usb drivers for it. Do i need the usb drivers for the adb to actually root my thunderbolt?

When you installed HTC Sync you should've had the option to install the drivers too. If you don't have the drivers, re-download HTC Sync. The drivers will be included. Once the drivers and Sync are installed, you can uninstall HTC Sync. Its useless anyway.
I found that when rooting my Thunderbolt, that I had to have the phone in Sync mode. Otherwise adb showed it offline.
Hey guys I reinstalled windows on my pc and now I want to try sense3.5 but to flash the kernel, I need adb and I cant get it to work.

HTC Sync can be a problems but if the drivers were standalone, I don't see why it would cause any issues.
yea ok, still same problem. adb is not finding the device even though i have usb debugging enabled and used Hasoon's tool to flash the HTC drivers.

You could have at least linked him to a driver download.
ok, i had a way to find (almost) all adb drivers for android phones and your pc. but because the user interface is all in chinese, i just recommend you to follow my steps.
first, go to 360. cn scroll down and you may see this...
(attachment 1)
click the green arrow going down...that is the download link.
second, install it.
follow the instruction on the screen...(if you don't see a word but all rectangles or alien words, that normal. just click the only button on the installer and a popup window, click the left one). a popup window on your internet explorer or google chrome and go down to the list, click the first one, a circle with yellow and green. remember it is the first circle but not the second. again, the green arrow. the size is about 900kb.
step 3, run the installer, again click the only blue rectangle inside the installer. a download will go on. just wait...
after that, it will install automatically.
next, you may see two boxes checked. uncheck the second one. in this case, just kill the process (inst.exe) with task manager.
remember the install i mentioned in step 1? ok, run it. this time if you click the blue rectangle you should not get an error.
so, continue the installation process. see a box popup, click the first one. if you did things right, you should see 3 new windows popping up. close both on front.
now here's the highlight...
connect your phone with your computer with usb, with usb debugging enabled.
at the upper left of your application, you should see a white box with four words.
click the box, click the usb, click the boxes inside the dialog one by one. one of them means next step.so, you should see three circles, first one is searching for adb driver, second one is downloading adb driver, third one is installing driver( at the third one you should see a warning from windows, leave it, just say install.)
and you will see a white shopping bag with a funky flower...close it, close the application. now your computer should now be able to identify your phone!
this way is for all android phones. if you want to do it for someone you know, just follow the instructions again. remember that the applications that installed is not be uninstalled so that you can use them again.
thank me if i helped you, lastly, i hope that it helps!

I had PDANet installed on my netbook and it was working fine. The other day when i tried to use it, I received a message that the driver was not correct. Decided to delete the program and install the latest version, 3.50. It installed on the phone without a problem. Tried installing it on my netbook several times and every time I received the error message "Installer failed to open device". My netbook has 32bit Windows 7 and I was using the 32bit installer.
Gave up on the netbook and utilized the 64bit installer with my 64bit Windows 7 on my laptop. Installed without any problem.
Sent PDANet tech support an email; however, they have been less than useless.
Has anybody else received this error message? If so, were you able to resolve the problem?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Alright guys/gals, I'm sorry to make this thread, but I've been messing with this for days and just can't get it. I'm hoping someone with XP 32bit may know the answer. Or maybe someones google-fu is better than mine.
So, here it is:
I FINALLY installed the sdk a few weeks ago.
When I plug my Evo LTE in, and type adb devices, the window shows my device. I can adb reboot bootloader and that works. Then switch device to fastboot via bootloader. But when I try to do a fastboot command (fastboot reboot) it hangs on 'waiting for device'.
Apparently it's a driver issue, I assume. But I just can't figure out what exactly I need. Or maybe a different fastboot.exe in my sdk?
Using win XP sp3 32 bit. Anyone else?
Also, I can't get my PC to see my evos internal storage. I've tried uninstalling HTC sync (but actually it still shows in manage programs) I've tried installing the 32bit drivers in the zedomax root thread. Numerous reboots. I've installed easytether from market and used it (I've seen some say the drivers from that help with various android driver issues). Nothing will get my (crappy, low rent, PC) to see my new Evo. Sees my old Evo just fine, always has. But I know USB/MS is different from MTP.
I'm not a total noob. I rooted my Evo on launch day 2010 and have flashed and modded ever since. But when it comes to PCs and drivers etc, I really am a total noob.
So, if ANYBODY has any advice or links to what I need, I'd be forever indebted.
Much thanks to any response (except lmgtfy lol).
Edit:
My PC doesn't have web connection (I really just use it for storage and android stuff. Also, when I check in device manager, it doesn't show Android 1.0, as some tuts suggest, it shows my HTC.
Also, when i plug into a win7 PC with a web connection, it grabs drivers and recognizes my storage with no problem (if that helps). Thanks

From what I've seen, most times when drivers are issue, device manager shows android 1.0. Mine doesn't say that. Mine shows MyHtc, and says all drivers are good.
Adb works. Fastboot no-worky.
If anyone else has struggled with XP, I'd love to hear it.

Try updating or installing HTC sync, that fixed my issue with drivers. I tried to install manually and had issues.

I have the same issue using Win7 with the updated drivers used for Root. I have the SDK downloaded and all files that were specified installed to c:\Android.

Well try uninstalling all phone drivers. Reboot and just hook the phone up and see what happens. Also could be the fault of the of the cable or you need to try a different USB port. And man WinXP 32? Somebody needs to update/ get a new PC . I'm kidding, I was stuck with two of em on XP, just recently got a new laptop with W7. If that doesn't work you could try setting up a Linux VM and see if fasfboot will work through there... but that a like last resort and only if you know what your doing on Linux or can google-fu quite well.

Here is the fix. The problem is the android 1.0 drivers. To fix install the PDA net desktop client. When you run it it will ask if you want to replace the drivers. Do this. Go to device manager and look for android 1.0 with the yellow exclamation point. Hit update drivers and browse to (x86/PdaNet for Android/usbwin (windows 7 the location will be different depending on your machine) you will see a security warning install anyway.Complete the installation and this should solve the issue.
Also as a note you may have to toggle signed drivers especially on Windows 8.

Finally. I got fastboot working. But just through dumb luck. I uninstalled everything HTC I could find and then tried 12billion different ways to update the 2 drivers I'd downloaded. I finally got the android 1.0 in device manager then tried every driver I could find.
Fastboot works now. But NOTHING I did got XP to see my device as a storage MTP :banghead: dammit, I NEED to be able to get to my sh1t.

Same, same, did you already unlock the bootloader?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Nope. Haven't unlocked bootloader yet. It's gonna be tricky, too, I think. As you need a web connection. My XP with SDK and adb/fastboot doesn't have web.
But the PC i have access to with web DOESNT have the sdk set up (which it sounds like you need to accomplish the htcdev unlock).
I wish I could help and tell people how I finally got fastboot to work, but it was countless driver uninstalls and reinstalls and reboots (phone and PC), trips to bootloader. (While in bootloader, I saw different drivers in device manager than I saw while booted,...and I think this was a key clue for me. This is where I finally saw the Android 1.0 driver to update. Updated manually thru browsing files, and used the drivers from the root thread.
Also the usb-windows drivers from qbking77. Still not getting any USB storage action gggrrrrrrrr :banghead:

Since uninstalling HTC stuff fixed it, I wonder if disabling HTC Sync would have done it as well. I know it messes with ADB, so I'm wondering if it messes with Fastboot as well. Just a thought. Good job working through it though.
Yeah, I believe so. Also, I just remembered, when I was doing a driver update (turns out there's multiple ways to update drivers with the same result) in a little window before browsing for the driver, it showed my HTC 1.0.XX and my HTC 2.0.1XX and I believe I highlighted the my HTC 2.0.1XX then clucked "have disk".
I'll try to get a screenshot in a minute, if I can.
In the meantime, this weird headset looking icon (or hearing aid) showed up in my notification bar yesterday and I CANNOT figure out what the hell it is. I've been all through settings and just am stumped and feeling really stupid. Anyone know what this is?

I purchased a Rezound for my son off of ebay with no SIM. He just needs it for wi-fi usage, playing games and Mp3s. I wanted to start messing with it and downloaded the Rezound toolkit 3.1. I used it to install the HTC drivers.
When I plug the phone into the PC the phone recognizes that it is plugged in because the LED turns on and it starts charging. Sometimes it even asks me what type of connection I want to use.
However, and I've tried this on both my PC's, the PC just sits there like nothing was ever plugged in.
Could this be because it has no SIM? Could this be because I have installed drivers for other android devices on my PC's (I have two different tablets and 4 different kinds of phones)
Could this be a setting on the phone?
I have tried two different cables, the funky looking cable that came with the phone and my regular miniusb that goes in all my other devices (except for the transformer prime).
Its never picked up by the PC that anything was ever plugged in. My other devices come right up.

Make sure you select disk drive when it comes up and asks what kind of connection you want. if you are on charge only, it wont do anything on the pc.

I setup a virtualbox win7 under win8
I tried installing the htc sync installer for its drivers, but win7 under win8
fails to recognize the device. Win7 reports a composite device driver
did not install correctly with ! over the device.
Where can I get a full set of win7 drivers for Rezound to support
normal, recovery and fastboot modes (in the VM)?
Had to really install Win7 to get fastboot recognised
I installed Win7Pro on my laptop's second hdd and ran the HTC Sync
installer to get the drivers installed then canceled out of the actual install.
After that adb saw both the OS boot and the recovery boot
(got the serial numbers back from devices) and after
adb reboot bootloader, fastboot found the device.
it looks like win8 just doesn't have a drivers for the
rezound. I do have to bit fiddle with secure boot
and UEFI vs CSM modes between windows versions
but both work.

I'm a non-expert, who's fought with Windows computers tooth and nail as they relate to device drivers for HTC phones. God I hate Windows!
My current Windows version is 8.1, and, after a mind-numbing search for relief on this drivers thing, I found this link, which suggests that there is now a "signature verification" thing you have to turn off to install custom drivers. I think the HTC drivers fall into that category.
What I did was first to execute the command line described in the link above, and then install HTC Sync. Next, I looked in my Uninstall Applications list for HTC-related stuff and saw HTC Sync along with some sort of automagical HTC driver install program. So I uninstalled HTC Sync, plugged in my Rezound, and, et voila, an HTC driver was installed! I am now able to see my phone's disks on my Win8.1 computer.
I was able to do an "adb devices" command and get a good response, but I confess that I DID NOT try "fastboot devices" in the appropriate bootloader mode.
tl;dr Windows combined with HTC devices sucks. There *might* be a way forward, but unless you desperately need Windows, use some form of Linux.
Good luck,

all drivers for the rezound were made for windows 7 only....windows 8 is still very buggy and has quite a few incompatibilities with alot of things...not just mobile device drivers either...linux already has all drivers needed built right in to its OS so thats always a failsafe and free option...or just downgrade to windows 7 by disk install and bios setting change (which is required for linux as no OS but windows 8 really is the only os to use UEFI mode)

As for the installing Win 7, well, the disk part is the key; you'd have to own it or buy it to acquire the disk. I fail on both counts. I need a Windows computer for one several apps that simply aren't available on other OSes. One of those, Winamp, is what I use as an iTunes substitute; that app is why I need to mount my phone on a Windows system.
cheers,
john
