I have Windows 8 64bit and I'm having an issue installing the drivers for the DNA. It tells me that the driver installer is not supported for my operating system. Has anyone successfully installed it on a Windows 8 64bit machine?

I'm using Win8 x64. Only thing I installed was the driver portion of the HTC Thunderbolt installer and the android sdk. Already had them installed for my Thunderbolt. I have both usb storage and adb access on the DNA as well.

When you plug the DNA into your computer it will mount 2 partitions (disks). One will be called HTC Sync Manager where the drivers are located. I'm using the drivers from the Win7_64 folder. I installed them through device manager and all has been working fine under Windows 8 x64. If you have any trouble please pm me.

How did you install it through device manager?

When your DNA is in USB debugging mode under dev options, it will show up as an unrecognized device in device manager when you plug it into your computer. From there you can proceed to install the drivers with the files I mention in my other post.
I am having the same issue. I opened up the virtual partition and loaded the drivers as you suggested. my DNA is listed in the dev man as MyHTC. I have usb access but no ADB. I am using the ADB from the AIO tool kit. Tried several diff USB ports and a diff cable but I don't think that's the issue. Also tried the adb from the sdk. still no dice...
I have Win8 x64 as well. After turning on USB debugging, find the device in Computer and run the sync manager. At least, I think that's what I did. I'll have to check in the morning.

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.
Has anyone been able to access their touchpad via ADB on with CM7 Alpha?
If so, what's the trick. I'm running Win7 Pro 32bit, Android SDK is installed with the latest Java 1.7 and USB debugging is on and displayed in notification.
FYI - I'm used to using ADB with my droid eris on GSB so I've tried most of the known stuff. Are there ADB drivers for the TouchPad around?
Thanks in advance.
All ADB drivers are in essence the same, you should be able to use the official ones Google releases with any device.
To get ADB running with my TouchPad(Windows 7 x64) I had a USB Mass Storage Device with the hardware id(USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&REV_0227) I had to go an change the device driver to a USB Composite Device, once I did that the ADB interface showed up and I was able to install the driver.
The mass storage device I changed was this one (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&REV_0227) and not this one (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&REV_0227&MI_00).
Here is a link to the Official ADB Google driver http://api.ge.tt/0/8FtSNo8/0/blob/download you may need to force the driver to install.
Worked perfect. Thanks!
adbWireless ftw. No need for cables/drivers.

This worked for me. No modded .ini file or driver needed.
It detected and installed the"USB Composite Device" automatically.

Hi guys the topic says what i need..i drivers i was using in Win Xp(approx 15mb) is not working here..it says it is missing some digital signature blah blah..
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

So if anyone using Win7 Sp1 x64 & connecting phone for mass storage plzz share the driver they are using or the link..Urgently needed..
used lg mobile phone support to download driver.
confirmed. it is working.

just ran the above...gave imsi no...downloaded usb drivers..installed..connected phone still says just installing new hardware....nothing at last windows is ok as i formatted yesterday.. i think the problem is the drivers are all ok but they r for x86 not x64 as they r getting installed in program files(x86) each time..
So I'm using the HTC One with Windows 8 64bit pc and when I plug in my phone it won't mount the sdcard so I can copy files from my pc. This works just fine when I plug the phone into a Windows 7 machine. Any ideas what is going on?

Might have to uninstall and reinstall drivers. Or it could be a USB 2.0/3.0 thing.
When I plug mine into my widows 8 tablet the htc sync doesnt show up.
are there drivers specific for windows 8 for this device?
Mine works in my usb 2 and 3 ports, but I had to try a few different drivers until I found one that worked. Windows 8 refuses to detect it in fastboot, though

can you share the drivers you are using for windows 8?
This is the driver that I am using
Same here. MTP works fine, Sync works fine, ADB works fine. Fastboot refuses to work, and mounting in recovery so far unsuccessful. (Win 8 x64).

No setting I know of. I think I'm using drivers from AIO Toolkit. Also installed/uninstalled Sync so not positive, but one of the two. FYI I had to uninstall VMware because it was hijacking device and giving it some virtual USB driver, might occur with others like VirtualBox also.
i had the same issues with my Win8 64-bit, Dell XPS12 Ultrabook with USB 3.0 ports and this thread helped me solve all my USB issues with the HTC One. May be worth trying...
I had issues on Win 8 64 bit on my One X a while back.
This worked for me and solved the problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156665
. I used the program to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled them.
Also just realized that no mounting in recovery is normal ... still learning to remember that I have a new device .
Recoveries don't support pure MTP media devices (yet), so it is not possible at the moment.
maybe drivers can not work for 64bit system, or use the windows 8 enterprise 64bit to try this again. some program can not work fine on my windows 8 pro, but my friend's windows 8 enterprise can
is there any other way to fix this? my comp is 32bit
trying to root using this method: http://zepinventory.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/how-to-root-azpen-a727-tablet/
I couldn't make it work from XP, and had to do it from Win7
I couldn't make it work from XP either. XP said it couldn't find the Android drivers, even though they were where I pointed to.
I had to DL the 64bit version of tha Andriod SDK, and to the driver install on my SO's 64 bit Win7 laptop, From there, Kingo Root could root it, and I could remove the SDK and Kingo Root from the SO's machine.
I got it to work once using the SDK on Windows 7 Professional, but subsequent tries did not. And for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it.
I'm assuming I need to install the Android ADB Interface as opposed to Android Composite ADB Interface, correct?

AFAIK, yes. I believe that's what I installed. It's a "do once" operation, as once the driver is in place, you can root the device.
