If anyone has tried using WebOSQuickInstall you will know that the novacom drivers it tries to download fail on lion, so here are the drivers from the webos 3.0.2 SDK which should work (works on my late 2009 MacBook running lion) (use at own risk)
Download
Edit: before I get into trouble for these links I have decided to pull them. The best way to get them us via the webos sdk
Hope this helps
That worked! Thanks so much, no more rebooting into Bootcamp for me.
Thanks for that! Works great!
Eventhough I found the Novacom driver installer inside the SDK package, and installed it just fine, still I get the same message from Webos Quick Installer (4.2.3) "No devices connected. Please connect a device to continue". My device is in Developer Mode (HP Pre 3). I've tried putting it in normal mode and back to dev mode again, same thing. I restarted my mac twice, same thing. Does anyone have any idea why is this happening? I tried the whole process on my brother's laptop (win xp professional), and works just fine. So, what am doing wrong?
Plug it in but don't put it in usb mode

thanks for that !!
Can you repost the driver?
please update the first link
webos sdk has a big size just for a one little driver
Here's a fix for the driver:
After a failed install...
vim `which start-novacom`
add an "F" after the -w... so the command looks now like:
sudo launchctl load -wF /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.palm.novacomd
then run start-novacom, and novacomd will load and things will work.

Need a little help setting up my dev environment on Windows 7.
I had it working perfectly on my old PC running XP. I have since bought a laptop with 7 and am trying to set up a dev environment on it but am having issues with the drivers (at least as far as I can tell).
I have:
Android SDK installed - including all available components
Java 1.6 SDK and JRE installed - environment variable is set
SEUS and PC Companion installed
Rooted my phone to 026 using the original method - done on old machine
USB Debugging switched on on my phone
When connecting my phone, I get no option to install the driver. My SDCard also automatically mounts itself, which i'm not sure if that's related to my issue. Any ideas how to stop it from doing that?
When I try to update the driver software via Device Manager (browse to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER), I get 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
I've read through a few threads, particularly the rooting issues thread, and googled it in quite a few different ways with no luck. The closest I could find is XperiaX10iUser's post in this thread. Running USBDeview as mentioned, i can only see 'SEMC Flash Device' and 'Sony Ericsson X10i' that would be relevant. However, when I try to uninstall selected devices it does nothing (no error, just doesn't uninstall).
Running 'adb devices' returns a list of devices with nothing in it.
Any help/ideas would be much appreciated as i'm going insane here!
Are u maybe running 64bit win7?

Uninstall your Java and start from scratch using the 32bit versions of Java, and run USBDeview without the phone plugged in if you haven't done already.
Yes, I'm running 64bit Win 7.

I installed 32bit Java (1.6.0_20) and reinstalled all the Android SDK components. No change in symptoms.
I have run USBDeview with the phone plugged in and without.
i'm running win7 x64 and it works normally.
another day i tried install a theme (without have seus or pccompanion installed on my pc) and i had the same problem. after i installed pccompanion, it worked normally.
remember that you must have usb debugging on, to adb devices show your phone.

I definitely have USB Debugging on and PC Companion installed.
Where do the drivers for the X10i actually come from? The phone, SDK Drivers component, SEUS or PC Companion?
What am I missing?
Does anyone else's SDCard mount itself when plugging the phone in? It didn't do this on my old machine.
EDIT: I was able to remove USB devices using USBDeview. Just need to right-click and 'Run as administrator' (which is odd given that my user is admin). Didn't help me installing the driver though. Still can't find anything when pointing to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER.
My <sdkdir> is C:\Android\SDK. It shouldn't matter that it's not the default path should it?
EDIT2: Apparently, DoubleTwist has an auto USB mount option. Doesn't make a difference to the driver issue though.
Ok listen to this, it will seem a little crazy but i wonder if it will help
Install pdanet the desktop version ( its a program used for usb tether ) the idea is that this program installs the sonyericsson drivers with it, just follow the instructions of the installation process and tell me how it goes..

Hi sir, do you have time? I cant figure out what is wrong with my x10. When i try to flash those Generic Stock Rom, i get to have errors flashing. It aborts sometime when flashing system.sin and other sin depending on the tft file... i dunno what version my phone is but my pc detects it with flashmode. When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power
Can someone help me get my HTC One to be recognized by Windows. I can get it recognized when the phone is booted into the system but once it hits the bootloader it shows this error:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

are you possibly using a USB 3.0 port? if so use a 2.0

You could always do what I ended up doing; get an Ubuntu Live CD and run it without installing, download the sdk, and run adb/fastboot commands that way.

This is a very good suggestion and Ubuntu 13.04 installs beside Windows 8 pretty easily. As long as you get into the bios and turn secure boot off and then change the boot order to put your CD image or sd drive first.
It is probably the easiest way if to don't have a Windows 7 machine laying around. That's what I had to do myself. I didn't feel like installing the sdk on my Fedora partition right then so I hijacked my wife's computer.

see this thread... it helped me solve my Win8, 64-bit, USB issues, including fastboot.
I have problem with HTC One flashed Stock RUU with Google edition and can't see mass storage. In device manager Android device: My HTC -this is ok, but MTP driver is not found, i had tried everything.
Windows 8 x64. I tried 2 different win8 x64 machines and same problem. Few weeks ago I ran's win7 and ARHD 12.1 then working well. All started in win8.
In Windows 7 x64 no problems at all. Windows find automatically driver or update new driver both working.
Can anyone recommend something?
Cheers !
I just got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit. When I plug in my Evo LTE, nothing happens. It does not show up as new hardware and there is no trace of it in the device manager. The charge light is on, but that's it.
I've tried installing HTC sync & drivers only but I get the same results. I've dug around on this site and on the web for a couple of days before starting this thread just in case I could find something. No luck.
My phone:
Evo LTE S-Off
CM 10.2
My laptop:
Acer V5 122P
1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0
I've tried plugging it into both ports with the same above results. I'm stuck.
Seems to be a common issue with 8.1. The consensus seems to be either downgrade to 8 or find a Windows 7 machine to use.

oops. Double post.
Thanks. She's my baby.
I was afraid of that.. My Windows 7 machine has been retired. I've been reading about downgrading to 8.0 and it looks like it's a PITA as far as having to completely reset the machine.
So far everything but my phone works through the USB ports. I guess I'll just have to wait for a fix.
I spent countless hours trying to get ADB/Fastboot drivers to work on 8.1 and there was no fix.
I was able to find a fix for it!
Using a Live CD of Ubuntu and boot that. ADB/Fastboot work from there.
If you need help with that, I can guide you
Try a different USB cable - some will do charge only, others will give full access to communicate with phone.
If using an Intel chipset, go to Intel's webpage and download their USB 3.0 drivers and use those instead of Microsoft's - these are a must if trying to flash/root phone when using windows 8/USB3 drivers.

This is my favorite solution. Ubuntu (Linux) is the bets when handling Android. Sometimes, ADB on Windows tends not to recognize devices that are booted into recovery, for example. Never a problem with Ubuntu.
I have a 32gb flash drive which I installed the complete Ubuntu package onto. So I simply boot from my USB whenever I want to use it. And this method is better than a Live CD because all of my files/settings are saved. Live CDs require setting up ADB and fastboot each time, to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please inform me.

How did you do this? I can't use 8.1 with fastboot. Would love to use one of my old thumb drives and try.
Download Ubuntu here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Download the Live USB creator here (instructions included):
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
Some might find my method to be a bit cumbersome, but it got the job done. I experienced a lot of problems trying to dual-boot Windows 7 & Ubuntu, so I used 2 flash drives. I used the 2gb drive as the Live USB install, rebooted using my new Ubuntu Live USB, then I installed Ubuntu onto my 32gb drive. In Windows, you might be able to run the installer, and install Ubuntu to the flash drive that way, but for some reason that I don't know, it would force me to try or install Ubuntu as my only option.
I will continue to edit this post as I find more tips, and clearer instructions.
If your win8 system only has USB 3.0 ports, try installing the intel usb3.0 drivers instead of the Microsoft ones. This is what I did to get around adb and htc sync connection issues - I have no problem connecting my win8.1 system w/intel usb3.0 drivers to communicate and flash rom's to my evo since I made the switch over. do a search and you will find all the information about intel vs. Microsoft usb drivers on this and other sites.

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.

And the phone is recognized fine when in regular mode. Though, whenever I reboot the phone into the Bootloader using adb, it restarts into the fastboot, but it doesn't change to "Fastboot USB" and shortly after I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" on my PC and it saying something about it malfunctioning. So I get stuck on "Waiting for device" when trying out this command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
Any ideas? I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and root so that I can install custom ROMs and kernels.
Hey there! Sorry my fix didn't work for you.
My question is, are you running windows 8 or 8.1? The reason I ask is because the 8.1 update has broken fastboot apparently. I don't remember the last time I tried on my computer to see if fastboot still works or not since I updated to 8.1.
If you are running 8.1 windows then the guide at droid-now.com seems to have worked for many people. Go to that site and search fastboot fix windows 8.1 or you could just Google that too I guess. I would paste the link right now but my phone is being stupid and not letting me paste it ATM. :-|
If that doesn't work then you may be able get what you need done by dual booting into Ubuntu if you feel comfortable doing so. You could easily make a bootable flash drive that you could boot into just for an emergency. I just used one for about 4 days while fixing my computer after I accidentally erased the partition tables of my hard drive, trying to make a permanent installation of Ubuntu. Got it fixed BTW! ats self on back:
Keep us posted if you get it fixed or have any more questions! I hope I've been at least a little helpful. I'll try to help any more I can if possible!
Good luck!

I am running Windows 8.1, however it looks like the fix only applies to Intel motherboards connecting through USB 3.0 ports. I do have USB 3.0 ports, but my motherboard is AMD and my USB3 controller reads "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)." I'm not sure that the fix applies to me, unfortunately. Also, I am not connecting my phone to my PC using the USB3.0 ports.
I tried downloading the USB 3.0 Drivers for Windows 8 64-bit on the manufacturer's website for my motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305), but when I try to update my drivers to the ones I got from the website it says that the Microsoft provided ones are the most recent/ up to date drivers.

Be Advised, there is perhaps a way , you wil find in the link below, but be sure to use the right intel driver And only if you hae an intel chipset for usb3 , please read the comments and my bad experience :
Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the
"intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windo...#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now
Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
A later post I made (I havent updated the OP, shame on me...) is a link to some universal drivers from CWM that works fantastic! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40108463#post40108463
Before trying this I would goto your device manager and right click on the currently installed drivers and uninstall them before installing the drivers again.
Hope that helps. I am using the link found in that second link and fastboot and adb works perfect. Also, while you can boot into fastboot, stock 1.58 will not let you run a lot of fastboot commands and will need to flash a different hboot.
I installed the Win 10 drivers,
I installed ADB and its DLLs and fastboot.
I cannot install the Java run time as it doesn't
know Windows 10,
The VMware guest does see the the an droid phone
as an MTP device.
adb devices reports nothing
with the phone running adbwireless
adb connect [ip address] also fails.
Is it just Win 10 isn't ready for prime time yet?
Or is there something else I can try?
Update: Fastboot boot does see the device from the guest.
maybe it is a driver or DLL issue?
Don't have any issues with adb or fastboot on Windows 10 here. I have Java 8_35 installed. Don't know why you can't either.
I guess I was in too much of a hurry
After restarting, and reconnecting the phone, it decided to load new drivers.
ADB and fastboot both appear to work as expected.
Java still wont install, but doesn't seem to need either.
Maybe the Java requirement of the android SDK
is for other things?
thanks for replying
