Hi,
Each times i use adb command to root my Hero, my computer (under Windows XP SP3) lose its connection with HTC Sync
and to recore it, i have to uninstall the HTC Driver (under windows Device Manager), then reboot my computer and then plug my HTC which is finally reconized by HTC Sync
Is there a way to use both adb and sync without having this problem??
Thanks.
Hi
Is there a driver to install to be able to use USB tethering and the mass storage device function on my Hero? I don't care about ADB or HTC sync, I just want to share internet and copy files.
I use froydvillain 1.5 (android 2.2). It's for my friend's computer which is probably running Windows XP/Vista/7
I think its either built into windows, or in the adb drivers, as part of HTC sync.
I use tether with Froyd fine, so I can check my drivers tomorrow if needed
Well if I need to install HTC Sync or not is precisely what I am looking. I am going to visit one of my friend and he doesn't have internet. I wondered if I could just plug my hero in his computer.
Seems like windows xp only needs a .inf file and that vista and 7 already have the driver builtin (just like linux)

My hox+ will not connect to ADB on my Windows 7 machine. It works fine in OSX, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue. I have tried installing HTC Sync, uninstalling the driver manually, browsing for drivers on the file system, and pretty much anything else I could find online for the hox and hox+.
The only thing I can get to install for the device is the default Microsoft MTP driver. Even if I uninstall it, restart my machine and plug the phone back in, it just comes back with that same driver. It never gives me the chance to choose my own before it shows up as an MTP device.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working?
EDIT: More info
I have flashed the AT&T CWM recovery to my device, and it is NOT rooted.
Try another usb port.
Is usb debugging turned on in settings?

Don't worry about the MTP driver, it's irrelevant. As the poster above me said, first try a diffrent usb port, one that connects directly to the mobo. ADB does not play nice with usb hubs.

This is on a laptop, I am not connecting to a USB hub. I've tried each USB port with the same result.
I have also tried every combination of turning debugging on and off, each time the device will just reconnect as an MTP device. ADB still does not detect anything. I am an app developer, and I have a bunch of other devices that work fine.
Has anyone got this to connect to adb on a Windows machine successfully?
EDIT: Would having a custom recovery installed affect ADB on my stock rom? I have the AT&T CWM recovery installed.
bump, I really would like to get this resolved. I am going to try and call HTC today to see what they say about this issue.
Let us know how much support HTC offered, since it is AT&T branded. And how you worked around telling them you installed custom recovery?

USB debugging enabled?

This might help, I had a similar issue. I installed HTC Sync which installs the drivers, then I uninstalled just the HTC Sync app leaving the drivers.

No need to "work around" having a custom recovery installed. This has nothing to do with the device not being detected properly in Windows 7 while booted into the OS.
Spoke with tier 1 support and he didn't really know what ADB was, but still tried all the usual troubleshooting. The support request was escalated and I got a call back yesterday where the tech was more knowledgeable. He tried all the install/uninstall driver stuff that I did, which still did not work (uninstall/reinstall driver, force install in device manager, remove all htc drivers using USBDeview). After that did not work he had another idea that ended up being the solution. I'll put that below for anyone that has the same problem.
How to solve HTC One X+ not detected by ADB:
Download and use USBDeview to remove all instances of HTC drivers.
Open the androidusb.inf file in your HTC drivers folder (you are going to need admin privs to write to this part of the filesystem, open Notepad as Administrator and then open the file). Modify the ClassGuid=XXXXXXXXX... with the Device class guid of your HOX+ including the { }. It is found under Details in Device Manager properties for your device. Save the file back to its original location.
Now open Device Manager. Find the device (mine was under Portable Devices), Right-click -> Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have Disk... -> Browse for androidusb.inf (x64 Windows 7 it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64) -> HTC, Corporation -> MY HTC -> Ok. Congratulations, your device should now be detected by ADB.
I have the latest version of Sync Manager loaded on my Windows 7 PC. When I connect my HTC One with the USB cable, my PC sees the HTC One as a connected Portable Device and pops up the AutoPlay window with options of what to do with the device. However, the HTC Sync Mgr window says there is no phone connected. Notifications in the phone says that USB is connected and the USB debugging is connected.
What do I need to do to get Sync Manager to see the phone and to sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts? Help would be most appreciated. TIA!
This is NUTS!!

This is really nuts. I have an email plus attachment from HTC Support telling me that I have to perform a Selective Startup on Win 7 in order to sync my HTC One with the HTC Sync Manager in Win 7.
I never had to do this with my Vivid!
Looks like I need to return the HTC One to the store and get a Samsung!
That's a silly reason to get a Samsung

Not silly at all! If the HTC One cannot be used to sync Microsoft Outlook Calendars and Contacts, it is not fully usable; and as such, needs to be replaced - be it with another HTC One that works properly or a Samsung.
FWIW, HTC Support has had me try a variety of different things, including trying to get the HTC One to be recognized and sync with HTC Sync Manager on a different computer. Same results, Both computers can see the HTC One, but HTC Sync Mgr will not recognize the device; and give the message "Phone not connected".
That points at the HTC One as being the problem - either hardware or software settings. HTC Support does not want to look there.
I guess it goes back to the store for an exchange.
Finally, A Solution
After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of the HTC Sync Manager and a variety of other ineffective suggestions at the behest of HTC Support, it seems that the HTC One driver was not installed on my PC.
The solution was to update or refresh the driver in the PC Device Manager while the HTC One is connected to the PC by the USB cable
The path to the driver for Win 7/64 is: C:\Program Files_x86>>HTC>HTC Driver>Driver Files>Win7_x64
Then Double click the androidusb.inf file. Restart your PC and you should be good to go.
Unsuccessful attempts had been made to do this with the HTC One NOT connected to the PC.
Once the refresh/update was completed with the HTC One connected, a restart of the PC was required; and, once restarted, away we went.:victory:
It really took far too many contacts with HTC:Support to get this thing resolved!
Flash in the Pan
Well, I was able to get HTC Syn Mgr to recognize and sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts to the HTC One device yesterday one time.
Since then I have not been able to repeat the action; and HTC Sync Mgr absolutely will not recognize or sync the HTC One today. :crying: I think I need to take it back and exchange it for another one.
This problem is the same with two different USB cables and two different PC's. The only thing common is the single HTC One device.
An interesting side note. The calendars that did sync the one time are all synced one day off from the dates in Outlook.
Won't Play on the Same Playground
HTC Syn Manager will not play on the same playground as other sync software, even if that software is not active.
I had to uninstall ASUS Sync. Then uninstall HTC Sync Manager and it's co-workers; and then reinstall it.
It now works as it's supposed to work.
HTC is aware of this, but actually seems to like the fact that they make you remove the ASUS software for the HTC Sync Mgr to work.
When I suggested that they need to update HTC Sync Mgr so that it will play on the same playground as other sync software, their answer in not so many words was essentially "Don't hold your breath."

Thank you for the information, but I cannot get it to work, I do not seem to be able to update the driver. The androidusb.inf file just opens in Notepad if I access it directly and if I try updating via Device manager, it says all is up to date and I am not even able to choose the file, only the directory with the file. Would you please have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I am running Ignorance V5 custom rom on my HTC One V and these problems started only after installing it.

This worked for me; just updated the device drivers on my windows pc and boom all worked fine.
Hi everyone,
i have a problem with htc sync, too. When i connect my HTC with my PC (Win7) and start the HTC Sync Manager, then first it says: phone connected (loading data). After one minute it says: device unavailable. please reconnect your device [4]. I reinstall the newest driver, the newest HTC Sync Manager, restart both my HTC and my Computer, but nothing worked. Can someone help me? I have the newest ViperRom (7.0.2) with ElementalX Kernel (18.0).

Follow nkk71's FAQ Question #2. You might also just uninstall HTC Sync Mgt (keep the drivers), a lot of folks don't use it because it can be problematic.

Thanks for your answer. I will try it. Unfortunately I need HTC sync manager to copy some playlist from iTunes on my HTC one. Because I know where my music I have on iTunes is, but there it is sorted by interpreters (Windows explorer), but I only want to copy some playlist, and it is not easy to create all these playlist again on my HTC one...

THANK YOU! 2 hrs of dicking around when my wife's HTC One M8 would no longer sync ... tried everything and stumbled onto this post. Had to install from device manager update driver rather than double click. But this manual effort worked. I remember on many of the reinstalls the Android driver did not install and then didn't show as in error ... Can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this. Outlook syncs fine every time ... Don't have any ASUS stuff on my desktop. Would a boot into safe mode or msconfig clean boot solve the ASUS conflict?
Its keeps saying "update needed" and "this device needs to connect with the latest version of HTC Sync Manager. Please checkup for update or download". What confuses me is that I have the latest version of Sync and my phone shows up for one second and then the message pops up. Can anyone help?
BTW I started experiencing this after unlocking my bootloader.
but i couldnt see androidusb.inf file in the folder you mentioned.

I couldn't find androidUSB.inf file but I re installed htcsync & it asked me to update windows media player... updated it.. restarted system and re connected and it took only few minutes to detect the device .. thanx everyone...
Anybody else got problems with connecting to the PC with the USB cable?
What "problems" are you having?
The Windows Explorer does not start, though there is the sound when connecting the USB. Tried uninstalling the driver and letting the system reinstall upon connecting, but still cannot see Nexus 9 in Windows explorer. In Linux get the the notification and clicking on the "open with File Manager" gives a quick error message - too quick to read. So I am wondering if anyone got this problem??

Same here
I updated my SDK files, but that didn't seem to work either. It does show up as a camera when I change from MTP, so I just started sideloading apps, files, and books to the picture folder, then using a file explorer to move them to the correct folder.
+chuckie59 So I am not alone with this problem! Have used AirDroid to copy things over.

Mine was able to be detected at my work computer (windows 2000 in MTP mode), but it shows up as "Android" in Explorer instead of a drive letter like I'm used to with my phone.
Same for me. Only ptp working. Google USB ADB drivers instaled

You'll never get it to show up as a driver letter. Android gave up on mass storage a couple of versions ago.

If you are on W8.1 then you may have the "ACER Composite ADB Interface" - A Microsoft upgrade fault.
A search for "ACER Composite ADB Interface remove error delete" should give plenty of hits. Here's the first post from http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-2012/362325-nexus-7-not-recognized-computer-2.html :
Would you happen to know if any Acer drivers are installed on your computer? Here recently there was a Windows Update that installed the wrong driver and made it so that I had the exact same problems as you're having. Here's how I fixed it.
Go To> Control Panel>Hardware and Devices>Device Manager. In Device manager look for something along the lines of "ACER Composite ADB Interface", at least in my case I had the wrong ADB interface installed. You'll know if you have the wrong drivers if you go to Devices and Printers and right click your Nexus 7 and go to it's properties. It should be under the hardware tab where it lists it. If it doesn't just say Nexus 7 then follow these instructions. Once you find it in the Device Manager (once again in my case it was the ACER Composite ADB Interface causing the issue) right click and and uninstall it. There should be a dialogue box that pops up right after which will ask you if you want to delete the drivers. Check this box and proceed with the uninstall. After successfully uninstalling the drivers plug in or unlplug and plug back in your Nexus 7. It should show up now with the correct drivers installed.
Thanks, but I am on Windows 7. Driver is ClockworkMod Ver 7.0.0.1 dated 2012-08-27, which Windows reports as up to date (?). Works for PTP but not MTP.
I have had problems with other devices including the nexus 5 and nexus 10 to connect over mtp. Previously i used the nexus root toolkit which has some wizard to guide you to install proper drivers for mtp and adb. The toolkit is yet to support nexus 9 but you can still use the wizard to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall correct ones
Updating sdk. Uninstall and installing again driver did the trick for me
SORTED!! (sort of) Updated sdk and uninstalled and installed the driver again, but it did not do the trick for me. Gave up on Win7.
Instead had a go on XP. Initially everything the same. Noticed two choices of compatible hardware given: "Google Nexus ADB Interface" (the one I had installed already) and "USB Composite Device". Tried the latter one, and yes it did install. In the device manager it turns up as "Portable Device/Nexus 9" (and not as "Android Phone/Google Nexus ADB Interface" as before).
In Windows Explorer it is shown as "Nexus 9/Internal storage" with all the directories, and actually when inserting the USB I do get auto start. By the way, was having the USB debugging disabled. The driver is Microsoft dated 2006-02-22 version 5.2.5326.4762 - which is not what I would have expected. But it works!
Will try to get something similar to work on Windows 7
SORTED! Yes also Win 7 - and it was easy. Uninstalled the driver, plugged in the USB and it installed! Also got the auto start to choose action. It now turns up as "Portable Devices/Nexus 9" in the device manager and as "Nexus 9/Internal storage/etc" in Windows Explorer. The driver is now Microsoft ver 6.1.7600.16385 dated 2006-06-21. Strange. As long as it is working!
