[SOLVED] Problem installing USB drivers for ADB - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I set out to root my phone and am in the process to trying to install the USB drivers so i can use ADB. At first, windows installed it's own drivers, which obviously didn't work. I tried to update the drivers in the device manager to the ones located in the google-usb directory, but it said i already had the latest installed.
Next i decided to uninstall the current drivers completely and start over. I then told it to install the drivers that were located the in the google-usb directory. It said no drivers were found. They were obviously there, so i manually gave it the "android_winusb.inf" driver as per the cyanogen mod wiki page instructions on installing the drivers. It then said that "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I'm new to this so thanks for any help at all. I really want to learn my way around this kind of stuff.

Try it with your phone in mass storage mode with debugging on.

Still no luck. I've had it in debugging mode and charge only. Switched to disk drive mode and no change

Just download HTC Sync and use the drivers it provides. Should work for using adb.

Now it can't even find HTC Sync on my computer... It's installed and i just used it the other day. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that i uninstalled the drivers it had? It can't communicate now?

This is what I used, worked great.
This might help also, he goes over installing the drivers a few minutes in.
Hope it works out for you.

Problem solved!! I added the lines of code to the driver file to support the thunderbolt and it installed no problem. Thank you very much.

You're more than welcome. You might re-title the post with [Solved] at the beginning so anyone with the same problem know to look here.

Just wanted to mention here that this was noted a while back and the CM Wiki will be updated with an easy way to correct this for Thunderbolt as well as other devices soon.

what's the solve?

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.
I just did this today, install SDK from android.com; then you have to install HTC Sync.

You don't actually need HTC Sync. I've never installed it and don't plan on it. All you need is a custom driver .inf that we put together for you already.
This should help you if you have any questions installing the sdk.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
You could always just install HTC sync (which will install the drivers) and then uninstall HTC sync. The drivers will not be uninstalled.

I followed that set up exactly, but I am unable to get adb to recognize my device at all. No "Unknown Device" shows up in device manager so I can not change the driver for it. Not sure why I have such trouble with adb. It's never worked for me.
Are you setting the path to the platform tools in your system variables?

And as expected, not only will ADB not work, not that I changed the drivers according to the guide, my computer won't recognize my phone when it's plugged in as a disk drive. Running Bamf 2.4.1. I rooted with the 3 step/"1 click" method months ago and never had any problems. I try to get adb set up so I can do things properly and learn and now I have nothing but problems.

Got it sorted. I ended up deleting the android sdk and starting from scratch using the first link....and it didn't work again. Tried the video link above...and it didn't work. Then I figured I'd try to delete the adb device in Device Manager, unplug my phone, then plug it back in. That worked for some reason. Now it shows up in adb properly, and I can connect it as a disk drive as well. Huzzah indeed.

[Q] All basic Aria Drivers

Hi all,
I have an Aria running CM 7.2
I have a PC with Win XP SP3 where I am not able to connect my Aria because of lack of drivers.
I don't want to download and install HTC sync (pay-per-use plan).
Is there a standalone driver pack for Aria which I can use for:
ADB: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_01
Android Phone: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
Also there are other hardware IDs which I don't have right now, like fastboot etc.
I searched the internet and could not find any helpful drivers.
Can anyone help regarding this?
You can get the drivers here:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
File size: 13.1 MB
Thanks for the above. I installed it.
But I still get error messages saying hardware not recognized.
The (new!) hardware IDs are:
Without ADB
Android Phone : VID_0BB4&PID_0FF9
With ADB
Mass Storage : VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
and still cannot connect the phone.
I tried specifying the path to the actual drivers in the HTC program folder, but no help.
Any solutions?

I tested my Aria with an old PC and it worked. Try installing the latest version of HTC Sync: http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe.
Can you explain how you are attempting to connect the phone? Are you just trying to use the RUU? Are you trying to use adb?
The drivers I linked to should allow you to do both.
Here's what I did.
I tried to connect the phone (normal working condition running CM7) without any drivers installed.
The missing hardware IDs were the ones in the first post.
Then I tried to install the drivers from the link.
The installer did not work, some trouble with the MSI Package.
I went to temp folder and ran the MSI package by itself. This time it ran.
Then when I tried to connect the phone (running, with ADB on), it detected drivers like Android Phone, USB Composite Device, ADB.
But got stuck when Mass Storage was to be installed. Threw a 'new hardware found' window at me.
I disconnected and connected without ADB this time.
This time it got stuck on Android Phone.
Can you verify the file's MD5 sum? It should be:
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
f60771a86c4ad69c8c9c1d158e60e850
I'm not sure what else could be the issue unless some old drivers are interfering or something.

Well the MD5 is all good. Probably the machine is messed up.
Other USB devices do work though, without a problem.
Anyway, this is only a spare machine. Just was wondering why it would not work here. I might try installing HTC Sync later, but I highly doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot for the help.

USB Device Not Recognized - Windows 8

So I have a Samsung Vibrant(just got it recently) and I'm having problems when i connect it to the computer. It gives me an USB device not recognized on my windows 8 computer. I have spent all morning searching and reinstalling drivers and trying my old pc and new cables and i found out that my old windows 7 computer with 4GB of ram and an overloaded hard drive will detect my device the problem there is it not my main computer and i dont want to have to connect all the vga cables boot it up connect mouse and ect to use this computer just to be able to copy files, and do other things from my computer to my phone I dont know why my main computer dell inspiron windows 8 will not work when it was a couple of days ago when i had a problem with conectivity and had to flash back to stock but now it wont connect. could someone help me? Here's a list of things i've tried

diffrent usb cable
i would like to be able to do it on my main computer but its not working if someone could help that would be great
also please dont hate on me for having windows 8 jk i dont care :good:
I'd have to say that your drivers are all scrambled. Look up "android SDK" here on xda and install that for a bigger variety of drivers. Or just download Google's USB driver and manually install it through device manager which always works for me. Windows 8 is new and very complicated.

Android SDK is installed in the main drive right? local disk c?
You have to click the folder (usb_driver) and then click update.
In the android sdk folder there should be and exe file called SDK manager. There you will be able to download all the drivers for your current android version also the latest Google drivers and SDK tools etc.
I was stuck on this process for a long time because it allways works different for everybody. Just keep me posted on what you do I'm more than glad to help.

So what exactly happens when you click update? What does it say?
Is your PC up to date? (update wise)
Do you have the the drivers for the phone itself like samsung drivers?
And did you try rebooting your PC after installing your drivers? <-- that is important. You should always reboot after install or uninstalling drivers otherwise you'll end up scrambling them.
From the pictures it shows you have the drivers but I'd also try going deeper than usb_driver, try clicking on i386 or amd64.

OK make sure there are no HTC drivers on your PC. When you hook up your phone does USB storage work or anything like that?
Check those out and then I want you to go to Google, download pdanet latest version via pc (dont install yet) and go to the play store and install on your phone turn on USB debugging and the install non market apps and hook your phone up to the computer. Then install pdanet via PC and see if that works. HTC drivers get in the way of Samsung's BTW.

I want you to uninstall all your Samsung drivers(not android SDK) under control panel/uninstall programs. If you see something like Samsung kies definitely uninstall it. Reboot your computer and follow this guide for windows 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
After this if it doesn't work I'd recommend pulling out your old computer for android modding lol. I'll still look up some threads for your problem. Let me know what's going on after that. Make sure when you follow that guide your phone can not be plugged in the computer. And when you plug your phone into the computer after everything is done and after you reboot your computer for the second time, USB debugging has to be off and when phone is done unplug and turn back on USB debugging and plug back in and wait for that. Adb should work.
[Edit] you can also try running your drivers in windows 7 compatibility. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I think I know what the problem is. Make sure you uninstall all the previous drivers, then have the correct drivers ready.
What you have to do is to disable driver signature enforcement.
Step 1. Go to the right bottom corner of the desktop and wait for the side menu to appear. When it's there click on the gear icon with the title "Settings".
Step 2. Now click on the entry "More PC Settings", then click on the entry "General".
Step 3"Restart now" (under "Advanced start up ") and click it.
Step 4. Now click "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options" and after that click "Windows Start up Settings".
Step 5. Click on "Restart" and wait, then on the next screen press F7.
You will now reboot, and try now to install the drivers (by manually selecting the folder in device manager).
I'm not sure what is the correct drivers for you.
But try this. It's still worth a shot.

[Q] CyanogenMod 11 -> Eclipse/ADB not detecting YP-G1 device

Howdy.
I recently updated my YP-G1 from CM10 to CM 11 [4.4.2]. I need to use my device for Android app development (and have used it before way back when it was on stock, but haven't used it in a very long time), but am unable to get ADB/Eclipse to detect that there is a device detected. Using the emulator is not an option at this point, as I need to do some work with a real camera.
I've got the Android USB debugging enabled on the device, and the little notification that debugging is enabled comes up when I plug it in.
Things I've tried:
1) Update Eclipse/ADT (complete uninstall + reinstall)
2) Update Google USB Driver (from SDK manager)
3) Update Samsung Kies
4) Google
The only related forum thread that I've located for this situation is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776828, which just implies that Windows should be auto-detecting the device. Windows is not doing that.
I have noticed that the YP-G1 drivers do not show up as installed under Device Manager. Perhaps that is the source of the problem? I have not been able to rectify that situation via Kies, so I am unsure. Kies doesn't even detect that the device is connected!
If it matters, I'm running on Windows 8.
Thanks much.
P.S. -- I'd post in the CM11 thread, but since I just registered, I am not allowed to do so, unfortunately.
Edit: I got mine to work finally. I solved my issue by allowing windows to automatically search windows updates for drivers. After I did that it found them and it worked, so try that.
I too am having this issue and it's really bugging me. I've tried everything I can possibly think of but I cannot get the drivers to install. I'm using windows 7 64 bit and it sees the YP-G1 but it doesn't have the drivers so things like kies and adb won't detect it. Any solution would be very helpful.
Strange...that's what the thread I linked to suggested. I've tried that multiple times to no avail. Perhaps Windows 8 doesn't find it, while 7 does for some reason? I've tried doing searches via both Device Manager and Windows Update.
Could you perhaps upload the driver files it found? You should be able to figure out what/where those are by using Device Manager, then right click the YP-G1 and go to Properties, then the driver tab, then driver details. Maybe they'll work on Windows 8 as well as 7. I might try plugging my device into someone else's computer to see if somehow mine is just acting stupid.
Thanks for your reply!
Edit: I've plugged my device into another computer. You're right -- on Windows 7, it can find the drivers just fine. On Windows 8, it can't. Go figure. Now to figure out where to get those files and/or how to get the device recognized..... (??)

Make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on XDA. If you can't you can find them on to Manufactured side. Where you can search for example Miracle box and then go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure Find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers. make sure you have your devices drivers installed. Search Google for them. You can most likely find them on SDA. If you can't you can find them on the manufacturer site. Or you can search for example miracle box ending go to their site and look in their support section and you will for sure find the drivers. Open device manager back up when you get the drivers after you've install them make sure that they're correctly installed if you still see in teepee like that right click it and then select the driver manually and scroll down through to you find your manufacturer and if you don't find your manufacturer find any other empty p if you have other device drivers like Samsung HTC excetera and that will work just fine. There you go. Just did this voice to text. So sorry for the chopping sloppiness and what not.
