I have recently installed Windows 8 Release preview and can't manage to install fastboot drivers. Tried already installing them from flashtool drivers folder but windows doesn't recognize them, also tried manually from device manager pointing at the extracted drivers from flashtool drivers setup (used universal extractor). Last i tried the inf file from SE bootloader unlocking page....no way....does anyone know how to do it? In HTC 3d they solved this with a modified fastboot driver for Windows 8. I really am beginning to like the interface of this new windows , don't want to switch back to 7.
EDIT: Found the solution . Just disabled the driver signature check in windows 8 .
how you have done it?
Fastboot drivers
just download rar file i have created from link above and extract it to your computer.connect your device to fastboot mode and when windows ask for drivers point the location to extracted fastboot folder.you must remember to point the location drivers folder and you exactly must point x64 folder or x86 folder(x64 for 64-bit os x84 for 32-bit os) otherwise windows will not find the drivers for you........(NOTE:do not point folders inside x86 or x64)...just try this,if this helpful don't forget to thanx.....

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a link to download the HTC Bootloader drivers. It fails when I try and load "something" in Windows.
Thanks.
p.s: This will lead to good things...
The only drivers that I am aware of are the ones that are in the Android SDK Toolbox and in the HTC Sync program. Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, they aren't specific drivers ie "bootloader" drivers. They are just drivers to get your comp to recognize the phone when its attached.
I'm assuming this is something you're expirementing with to get root via the adb in recovery, if so, good luck.

Hi crax0r,
The folks at Android (aka Google) provide these instructions for installing the drivers. It involves installing their SDK first, and installing Java for that, and an IDE called eclipse.... UGH.
The HTC "Sync" Application that hoovnick is referring to can be found here.
It has been so long ago that I installed drivers (on a WinXp x32 laptop) that I can't remember what order I did things in, whether or not the driver used by HTC sync is sufficient for fastboot but not adb (or vice versa), whether I did the SDK install first, etc etc etc. As a matter of fact, it's been so long ago that the computer that I did it on is now dead, and here I am using a Linux machine.
For all I know, the order you do things in affects the outcome - it sure seems like a lot of folks with Windows 7 complained about driver troubles.
One thing is for sure, though - setting up the entire Android SDK (+ Java + Eclipse + ...) in order to install a device driver has to be the worlds most roundabout way of doing a driver install.
If you are considering using the "fastboot" method to install Amon_RA's recovery boot, you might try just installing HTC Sync first, and see if that is sufficient for getting fastboot talking to the phone. That install is way, way easier than setting up the SDK to get a driver installed.
The other thing which is an option, if you are a little bit Linux-savvy, is to boot one of those "Live CDs" (Ubuntu, SuSe, etc) on your PC - there are no drivers to install in the case of Linux, you just need to be running as "root" on the Live (linux) CD to get fastboot to talk to the phone. The downloads (fastboot for Linux and the Amon_RA recovery image) are small, and they will both easily fit in the /tmp folder of the Linux (Live CD) boot on the PC.
Once you have Amon_RA on the phone, you won't need the SDK any longer, unless you want to start doing dev-like things; that's why a one-time boot into Linux would also work.

I <3 Ubuntu. It's amazing!
bftb0, I am trying to install only the driver from the SDK tools, but when I follow the instructions for a fresh install, and point windows to the folder with the driver in it, windows says it can't find a driver there. What am I doing wrong here?

It's OK. I'm running Ubuntu now.

Excellent. Just remember to always run fastboot as root, and if using adb, then the first time after you boot (the PC), run adb as root.
The reason is that by default, Ubuntu won't let an unprivileged user access the USB.
Since I have adb and fastboot in my Ubuntu (regular user) PATH, I usually just do a
$ sudo `which adb` blah-blah-blah
or
$ sudo `which fastboot` blah-blah-blah

I don't know - I've already forgotten everything I did with the driver install in Windows, and I don't currently have a working Windows machine. Sorry I can't be of more help. As I said, the troubles people have been having seem to depend on which version of Windows (Xp/Vista/7), whether its x32 or x64, phase of the moon, etc. Seems like people run into snags on Win7 or x64 versions of Windows more than Xp-32, but I don't know why that is.
Keep plugging away at it. If you are looking for resources to help resolve the problem, I would go look at docs relating to Windows driver install troubleshooting - the driver install problem seems to be a Windows issue, not really anything to do with the SDK.

Sounds like what happened to me. i had to hit the icon at the top of my phone that showed the usb cable.. i had to switch charge only to disk drive "mount as disk drive"... folder popped right up on my windows machine asking how i wanted to open the file
I have the SDK running and my phone being recognized on my computer with Vista but I have another one running XP 32 bit and windows will NOT recognize the .inf? Any ideas? I deleted all previous HTC drivers and tried that approach but nothing seems to be working.
Where can I download correct adb windows driver for windows7 32bit?
Are they android device specific?
I would not like not to mess my windows setup with wrong versions of drivers

Hi, if you can wait more or less 1h I will upload the file u need to work with folio ; )
That would be great. Thanks.
Hi, you must change the "android_winusb" file for this mine and should work (extract it from rar).
You will find this file in "***/android-sdk-windows/google-usb_driver
(I assume you have the last Android-SDK),

How do you install the Sony Tablet S in the pc? I can't get my windows 7 to find the proper drivers even though I have the SDK tools. I'm in dev mode too. thanks for replying to my noob question

Is this for using the AiO root tool?
If so, the mtp driver is in the .7z package for download. You have to go into devices in Windows and manually apply that driver to the Sony Tablet S device. Ignore the warning that is is not signed.
i followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327139
its very important that the do the .android/adb_usb.ini step AFTER installing/upgrading TOGETHER with Android SDK's extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
For the Sony Tablet S driver u can point the driver to have disk to Android SDK's extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf and it will work too...
Hi,
I found this AIO Auto Installer
Also you must Read the Info file incase you run into problems....
Good luck

What operating system are you using? Do you have the Vibrant drivers installed?? Also, with this ROM you need the Nexus S drivers installed since the code is based off the Nexus S.
I found out your problem, you probably have the wrong drivers installed, you need the drivers from the Android SDK. You can install them under the "extras" section. Here's some more detailed instructions I wrote up:
Download the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Under Extras install "Google USB Driver Package"
then browse to the folder the Android SDK installed to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Open device manager, browse for drivers and paste that location

k i will try things out thanx for everything and
i have xp on this computer also i do have the samsung drivers installed
You definitely need the sdk drivers then
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium
For those who updated Windows 10 Anniversary Edition and facing issues with MTP mode (Media transfer protocol).
Just uninstall the driver and update manually from the .inf i uploaded
Don't forget to click on thanks button.
not working for W10 anniversary edition enterprise x64
maybe it works only for x32 edition ?
this is what I did without luck with your shared file "wpdmtp.inf" :
1) removed old drivers traces with USBDeview
2) rebooted
3) downloaded your driver wpdmtp.inf file from Microsoft 10.0.14393.0 (21-06-06)
4) installed your .inf file following those steps:
> Windows 10 device manager
> Add legacy hardware
> Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
> Show All Devices
(retrieving list)
> Have Disk
> MTP USB Driver
> picked "wpdmtp.inf" file
Note: maybe you should tell us when to plug or not the smartphone device in the computer USB port because it's probably important!
just install MiPCSuite, the driver will be auto installed...
Need that for 64 bit........... If anyone have then share please.

I did it manually and it worked. First uninstall already existing MTP from device manager then, go to windows/inf/ right click on "wpdmtp.inf" and choose "install".

In case you didn't know, inf files are driver files, so that's exactly what you need.
This is the solution

This is it! Takes care of many other posts regarding USB connectivity of xiaomi and other phones. If you cannot find the .in under windows/inf/ right click on "wpdmtp.inf", just add it by unpacking the above attached .zip File. Thank you!
