"Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB"
Why: Your computer has detected your phone but as a protable device and as a storage device.
Fix: This took me a lot of research and time to figure out so this is what your are going to do.
First download USBDeview - Here
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers

Then, plug your phone in, don't mount it! Pull up a command windows and type:

adb devices (should see your phones serial number listed if you did it correctly)
adb shell

trouble installing mytouch 1.2 usb driver plz help

so I have used USBDeview a million times to uninstall all the HTC drivers and then plug the phone in to install the drivers then I click on "Locate and install driver software (recommended)" then continue when asked for admin permission and then I get an error message thats pretty long but it sais
"newdev.exe - Dab Image" on the corner then
"C:\Windows\system32\wdfcoinstaller01005.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support"
I click Ok and then it loads for a bit and then tells me it encountered a problem installing (clearly) I've searched all over the forum and googled too but all I get are instructions on how to install but no trouble shooting
I have a mytouch 3g 1.2 and Windows Vista.
Bump
I too have vista and using the same steps. instead USBdeview doesn't seem to remove the drivers. but after I hiut uninstall I unplug and re plug my phone and Vista prompts me to install drivers. only it cant find them and the unlockr doesn't list the right usb drivers and I cant find them.
So in a nutshell I cant do ADB cause it cant find my phone. obviously, in debugging mode and not in debugging mode.
Should I try doing all this in Linux?
Linux will recognize it, you still have to "mount" the device by pulling down the "taskbar" and mounting.

Try downloading HTC Sync and installing it. Then plug your phone in and it will install the drivers. Worked like a charm for me
yes, download the new HTC Sync from the HTC website, 2.0.33 and it will work fine.
Or version 2.0.25

Can't get windows to recognise my DHD...

Wonder if anyone on here can help or if they've had a similiar issue.
My phone will connect to HTC sync no worries and i can drag drop files etc when i select the disk drive option...
but i'm trying to flash a custom rom and install the clockwork recovery image, the issue i have is in fastboot usb mode my Laptop is not recognising the phone being plugged in, if i leave the phone in Hboot and connect the usb it says its looking for a driver but fails to install properly even if i download and direct windows to the driver it still says it can't install, any suggestions i'm stuck at the moment cause without being able to get the laptop to recognise the phone i can't get the android interface to kick in (if that makes sense)
Running windows vista..
Thanks

Have you got Android SDK installed on your PC, Im sure the driver is in there...android .1.0 driver I think..
Without Android SDK you cant use fastboot flash for clockwork image..
I have...
I tried about a dozen times yesterday to get windows to accept the drivers in the Android SDK folder and it wouldn't..
Today first time its actually installed them ? But when i plug the phone in it still doesn't bring up the android terminal interface.
In device manager it is showing the phone as android bootloader interface, but the pc isn't doing anything, is there a way to open up the interface if it doesn't automatically ?
I've tried the exe files in the Android SDK folder inc the emulator.exe and a terminal screen briefly appears (less than a second) then goes...
This is beginning to do my head in LOL...
Did you install and launched HTC sync? It should install all the necessary drivers.

Ok try this.... shut phone down, boot (volume down and power button) selected fastboot so it turns red, put the files into android-sdk-windows\tools. i-e the clockwork image and fastboot files
Plug usb cable in.
In "windows search program files" type cmd
now type cd c:\android-sdk-windows (unless you placed the android sdk somewhere else!!)
type cd tools
Type fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-ace-modaco-r2.img
When done type fastboot-windows reboot
You should now have CWM.
Now I know you may have tried this but It would help to find out what happens if you haven't already do so.
EDIT ...I also ask this because my laptop doesn't do anything either when I plug in usb cable in fastboot mode..im on windows 7....
Just trying to help...
Really appreciate the reply.
I got a "cannot load" Error.
I think its down to a driver for my phone when in the fastboot mode.
Whats might shed some light on something for someone with a bit more windows/android knowledge than myself is
When the phone is in Fastboot USB mode in Device manager the phone is listed as Android Bootloader interface but when i type into cmd "adb devices" nothing is listed.
When the phone is switched on normally and syncing with HTC sync in device manager the phone is listed as "my htc" and when i type adb devices in cmd, the message adb server is out of date killing...
then daemon is started and the device shows in my list ?
But HTC sync stops working ?
And the internet on my laptop stops working bizarrly.
I'm really scratching my head now lol
I'm thinking it must be something to do with not having the correct driver for Fastboot USB mode ?
Finally sorted it, had to remove the phone from device manager and delete the driver.
Then went into programs and features and removed everything to do with HTC.
Re-Installed HTC Sync
which also reinstalled HTC drivers
Plugged the phone in let windows select the driver and instead of showing in device manager as Android Bootloader Interface it showed as My HTC Sync and worked first time, not sure what happened but sure glad thats finally sorted..
Rixsta really appreciate the advice...
Cheers

[Q] ADB not recognizing, please help

Okay, I have a permarooted MT4G with S=Off, and I want to use the gfree method to unlock my SIM and get the universal CID while I'm still on the stock kernel. All of the guides I see for that push the gfree files using the ADB.
Problem: I cannot get the Android SDK to recognize my MyTouch 4g. (SEE UPDATE)
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834748 to try and set up the ADB to no avail. This is what I did:
-- Downloaded the SDK, booted it up, let it update. Booted it up again, let it update EVERYTHING (took like 30 minutes) again. It has no more updates to install.
-- I tried adding adb as an environmental variable in windows, but the command prompt, no matter where I start it from, does not recognize 'adb' as "an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." (works now)
-- The HTC Drivers that came with my device have been installed on my computer. So, I uninstalled them, only to have windows reinstall them as soon as I plug the device in (I'm running Windows 7 x64 home edition, Build 7601).
I tried going here http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC/HOW-TO-Get-ADB-to-recognize-your-myTouch-4G/m-p/540017 and using their technique, no dice. My computer has the exact same drivers as when I started, and I have a digital paperweight of a SDK. (see update)
UPDATE: I now have a working ADB (big thanks to TrueBlue_Drew and his guide for us noobs) that recognizes my MT4G, but I have another issue:
FINAL QUESTION: Now that my MT4G is showing up in ADB, I realized I screwed up again when I discovered a "Android 1.0" item in the misc. section of my Devices window in Control Panel. It currently says that Android 1.0 needs troubleshooting and the drivers aren't working. I tried to direct windows to the usb drivers I downloaded from the both of the guides I've used, but windows wouldn't accept either one. Am I using the wrong drivers? Which ones should I tell windows to install? Should I even worry about it since adb is working? Any help on that end would VERY MUCH appreciated.
If you are using true blues method are you changing your target folder to c:\adb?

Do you mean the target of the environmental variable? If so, then no, because the name of the folder is android-sdk-windows, making the target C:/android-sdk-windows/tools, unless I'm totally off-base, which is probably what's happening.
Still, I don't think the target is C:\adb, cause I don't have anything in the root of my C drive that's named adb

Is the adb.exe file in your tools folder? Also you should change the name of your SDK folder just so that its easier to type in the terminal. I made mine simply ANDROIDSDK.

Have you installed the drivers successfully? Here's what I do and it's worked on multiple computers and on both Windows 7 and XP:
- Install SDK
- Turn on USB Debugging on the phone.
- Plug the phone into the computer and let it try to install some stuff. Ignore any dialogs saying there were errors
- Mount the SD card and run the HTCDriver.exe file that came on the sd card when you got the phone.
- Unplug it from the computer and plug it in again.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the tools subfolder of the android sdk. Run adb devices. (Even if the first time doesn't return your device's serial number, it should say that it's installing more drivers. Once that completes, adb devices should return your S/N and you should be good to go.)
So close, yet...

Actually no, adb.exe isn't It has a .txt named "Adb has moved," not really sure how to proceed from here; I downloaded the SDK that was in the topic I linked above, and just allowed it to update. More below, and thanks for the response.

Yeah, the problem is that my PC doesn't list any errors when I plug it in. BUT BIG NEWS, I followed the ADB for noobs guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928370), and I realized, as I said above, that my adb.exe file was nowhere to be found, so I used the one from the noob guide, and it could recognize my device in ADB. BUT it could not recognize my device in fastboot, so after much frustration, I decided to uninstall the drivers and reinstall using pda.net. Whatever it did, it worked, because adb and fastboot both show my serial number under devices. Thanks to the both of you for your help.
FINAL QUESTION: Now that my MT4G is showing up in ADB, I realized I screwed up again when I discovered a "Android 1.0" item in the Misc. section of my Devices window in Control Panel.

Nexus 6P won't install on any system

My dad has a Nexus 6P.
When he connects it to my Windows 10 PC or his own Windows 10 laptop, nothing appears in Computer (any USB mode on the phone).
Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation mark next to the device.
Trying to reinstall shows that an error occurs whilst installing 'MTP Device' (service installation section in INF invalid).
I have tried installing the standard Android USB drivers, no luck.
I've tried with and without USB debugging mode enabled.
Any ideas?
Is the device having any issues? Like is it boot looping or just dead?
If not, it definitely sounds like a driver issue. Open up your device manager and delete any Google / Android drivers and then reboot the PC. That part is pretty important. PCs can be a little wonky with drivers. After that install them via the method posted in Heisenberg's guide. Reboot the PC again and then try.
Guide Here.

There are no drivers to uninstall in Device Manager. If I right-click on the (exclamation mark) device in question, I simply get 'Remove', which 100% doesn't uninstall drivers, presumably because no drivers are installed.
Also, the instructions there require a load of stuff (CMD, platform tools, Android debug bridge and all that rubbish), just to install the drivers. I doubt it's that complicated.

I've given you the tools to get it up and running, whether you choose to use them is up to you. If you read the guide, you'd see that you don't need to install the entire SDK. It's one of the first things mentioned in the drivers section. Good luck.
Edit: Read your post again. Seems you're a little confused. CMD is a program already on your Windows PC. You must use it in order to use fastboot. Fastboot and ADB are literally the drivers you need to install. Not "rubbish." Read that guide and take it to heart. There's a lot of learning ahead for you, no offense.

Even if you don't wan't or need ADB/Fastboot, a link to the standalone USB drivers is provided in the guide. If you still have issues, an existing driver installation is likely causing the problem. There is a free tool called USBDeview you can use to get rid of the conflicting drivers.

If you just want to be able to transfer files back and forth between computer and phone you can try installing Huawei's Windows software which should download necessary drivers. I didn't personally find the software all that useful but it's another option if you aren't looking to do anything complicated with your phone.
