I am having trouble getting my windows 8.1 pc to recognize my Droid DNA. I installed android SDK, installed HTC Sync then removed it it so I would still have the drivers. I have tried universal drivers and another tool I found on the thread but to no avail anybody who knows how to get the device recognized on windows 8.1 and knows how to root the phone could answer. Help would be appreciated. I have went through the process on other htc phones but this one is a little complicated.

I have been trying to do that for 3 months with no luck. Ther are 2 or 3 threads here that talk about 8.1 not seeing your phone. I don't think there is a fix until HTC releases updated windows drivers. I use Linux to fastboot my DNA. Sorry I did not have better news

Is there any possible way or anyone who can help make this happen? I've got a windwos 8 computer...and my God was that a mistake...nothing, even the wireless card built in, has been being nice to me on that thing...anyway, I don't think any root methods work on it, I tried the one from HTC site and no luck...

I think it's a driver issue with Win8 a lot of people are having issues unless they are using Win8 Pro

The driver issues are only if you have a new Windows 8 Device. If upgraded from 7 to 8 Pro, you should be able to root and use the drivers, if you had them installed in your previous version of Windows. (Unless you do a clean factory reset of the Windows 8 device when installing Windows 8 Pro. That just f**ks up everything that has to do with Android.)
So to answer OP's question, find a Win7, or hell I say it Vista computer and have a blast. Unless Microsoft wants to release a patch to this, then you're basically screwed if Windows 8 is the only option in your house/office.
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)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

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 !
hey everyone, so ive have went thru all the threads i can find, done alot of research and have come up short. seems like alot of the users with the Verizon I605 Samsung Note 2 have the same problem, not connecting to their PC's.
-ive restarted both my note 2 and my PC numerous times.
-ive installed/uninstalled/re-installed the official Samsung website device drivers
-tried other USB ports
-tried up to 4 different USB/Mini USB cords
-made sure USB debugging was switched on
-Tried Samsung Kies, come to find out it doesn't support the I605 Note 2
-called Verizon and Samsung directly and both actually offered me a position as a tech after i told them all the things i did to figure it out, because it was way more then they could handle.
i know it has connected before, as i have done it once or twice a few weeks back but now it wont connect, drivers fail to install, and nothing else works. i have also tried every other method mentioned in the other threads. nothing has worked.
is there any fix for this? was it cause by the latest update?
im running 4.1.2/ VRAMC3
and im using Windows 7
please anyone lmk if there is a fix for this. ive exhausted all avenues known to me. thanks in advance.
Happened to me too, it's USB port in your computer. If you have any other computer or laptop try using that.
You can also try wireless connection for file transfer.

Hope you found your answer. If not have this moved. This was posted in the sprint version of the note 2 forums.

The appropriate forum would probably be more helpful.
Plus, are you getting any error messages? I've had issues with connecting the Sprint GN2. If I install the Samsung Drivers, I get a "Missing Hardware ID" error. I just found it's better not to install drivers. Let Windows install what drivers it can. Not all the drivers will install and will get an error message about device not successfully installed. But enough install that the GN2 will connect so you can move files around for MTP. See a thread I did back in December, linky
Also, you can try out SG Flash Drive Enabler. I've tried it out. It works pretty well. It has quirks, but does allow you to use your SDHC card as a flash drive. You have to use the MTP to access the phone's storage.
oh man...*face palm* sorry about posting in the wrong forum guys, i was about to crash and i didn't even realize. my mad.
MODS: please move this to the correct Forum section at your earliest convenience, thanks :silly:
i have found that airdroid does work for wifi file transfers for such things as pictures, music...etc. but im wanting to root my note 2 and it needs a direct line from the phone to the pc to work.
ill check out those links posted up and see what how it goes. but we still need a fix for this. kinda lame only (well most) the verizon SN2 is having this problem.

You may want to use ToolKit. I believe it's setup for AT&T tool. Uninstall KIES and all the samsung driver on the your PC. Choose to have ToolKit install the drivers. It should get your enough connection for ADB to work and be able to root and install a custom recovery. I had to use it a couple days ago to get a custom recovery back on the GN2 and I was getting the Missing Hardware ID error and still worked.

Ive done that very process. Uninstalled kies and installed the toolkit drives. Some reason it would sort of connect but then disconnect. Never stayed on and wasnt able to be picked up as connected on the Odin program.

where did you go on windows 7 to turn off the above mentioned? the middle part confuses me a bit. so your saying you turned off the windows feature to look for driver updates when the phone is connected via USB?
if you dont mind, please walk me thru your process. thanks in advance.

Kies was un-installed per instuctions on the toolbox. i guess i could try and re-install it and retry everything.
EDIT: just remembered that Kies dosnt support the Verizon Note 2....lame sauce.

i am going to try to download a older driver that was working before and see if that works. its linked near the bottom of the above posted link in one of the replies. ill come back with results.
ok so i downloaded the samsung drivers version 1.4.6.0 and followed the directions on the link i provided above. the drivers installed successfully, but the CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! program doesn't seem to see the phone connected to the computer. and just continually loops. sigh...this is getting to get stupid. such a simple task yet its not connecting.
EDIT: the drivers SAY they have installed successfully, but the computer still doesn't recognize the phone is connected. even reads on the phone that the software wasnt found to connect to the computers, and the CASUAL program also tells me that the phone isnt connected....sigh...seriously....WTF.
When you install your driver's on your pc you need to restart your pc...have you tryed that?

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.

ive redownloaded it, so ill give it another try. are you saying just have it downloaded and then do nothing with it? or do you somehow get it to connect? i mean just having it as a presents on the computer to have something else connect seems odd to me but hell im down for whatever at this point. ima load it up now and try.
Hey friends, having a hard time here for some reason...
Both my N7 (v2) and HTC One m7vzw will NOT show up in "adb devices" when in bootloader mode. They do however, show up when they are powered on. Its been a while since I've tinkered with either one in adb so I can't remember the last time it worked, but couldn't have been longer than 2 months ago.
I've tried on two Win 7 x64 machines, my Dell Optiplex at work and my HP laptop at home. I've tried switching USB ports, I've tried different USB cables including the factory cables, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers including HTC Sync Manager, I mean, I've tried it all as far as I know... Including updating everything is the Android sdk manager, I tried installing the drivers using WugFresh's Nexus Tool Kit as well (all with appropriate reboots as well...)...
So, I don't know what the eff is going on, but if anyone could maybe she some light or share some past similar experiences that would be sweet! :good:
You guys rock, thanks all.
Bump. Anyone?
however, "fastboot devices" does show the device, which is weird, so I should be good since fastboot is working and all I need to do is flash back to stock? I won't need adb commands?
If you have a windows 8 computer laying around, watch the video in that thread I linked you, it has drivers for 8.1.

Thanks, I don't, but I did figure it out, fasboot worked just fine, just no adb, luckily I only needed fastboot commands.
adb will only work in recovery and os, fastboot will only work in bootloader
So yes this completely normal

Hello everyone I'm having problems with adb on this phone. I turned developer settings on, adb on but I get no message to allow adb thru computer that I would normally get on any other phone. I can get adb devices and it provides my serial # but says offline. I've factory reset my phone, uninstalled and then reinstalled the drivers updated them and still no luck. I've looked all over the Internet and I guess no one has this problem. If any of you can shed some light on my situation I'd greatly appreciate it. I came from a Nexus so I do know some problem solving when it came to adb but I've tried pretty much everything that I could think of and also tried remedies I thought may help off of Google

3. What PC OS are you on (Windows, Linux or Mac)
I am stock unrooted C5 ultra. I am using Windows 10. Yeah I have no idea why it's showing as offline. I tried again after work yesterday and no luck. I tried other USB cords as well. It shows up as a mass storage device in windows.

In Windows 10 go to your device manager /settings/searchbox n type (Device Manager)
In device manager find your C5 select it right click select update driver/let me choose/android usb device/ Mine defaults to the "MTP Device" you have to select "MTP USB Device" click apply and try adb again :fingers-crossed:

To be honest In my opinion the Sony ROM is probably the best and most stable of any of the Mediatek based phones I have seen thus far :good:
Mine has not put a foot wrong so far and everything works as it should so I don't know how anyone could really improve it
Maybe Blisspop, MiUi and CM would be some good candidates just to have some choices and most of the work required to port them over is already done for the mt6752/32.
