Having problems registering

Hi guys, I have tried reading everything and I'm not able to install the ADB USB driver on my XP, I tried installing on another PC and the same thing, I connect the phone and windows starts installing the software automatically, can anybody help me on what do to stop this and do it manually. I went to the properties of the driver that windows installs and tried upgrading when I choose the driver it doesn't let me upgrade it.
I will appreciate the help. I haven't been able to activate my phone and it's a pretty expensive brick to have it laying around.

download the sdk
turn your phone on
turn it back on
connect to usb
(PC will prompt you to install new hardware)
they will be 2 options, click the bottom one(says NO)
then again clcik the bottom one again(says NO)
now point it to the usb drivers on your sdk
click ok
now point it to the same usb drivers
(will prompt completing installing hardware) or something like that, this is all from memory so please double check the forums.
well if all was comleted go to Jesusfreke Thread"HOw to activate G1 without data/sim"
now there will be a command on how to enable ADB!
this worked for me so i do not see why it wouldnt work for you! good luck

Anyone have a link to the Win7 64-bit USB drivers?

I can't get my Win 7 64-bit pc to connect to my phone. It's starts to install drivers then it says unable to install drivers. I already tried the USB degger on and off no luck. Thanks

Search is your friend

I did a search none of the links are good. The link in the one you posted doesn't work.

+1 for working link to drivers. All the threads i've seen have bunk links to drivers. I'm using drivers installed by a samsung.exe and having 0 luck getting my pc/adb to see the phone.

I just figured out that my PC is not detecting any new USB device. I get the sound but, nothing shows up on the control panel. My ext. HHD , USB hub, and USB printer is working. but now my jumpdrive and card reader don't work. Win 7 has been flaky ever since I got this SS HD. I was a win7 beta tester and never had problem with the beta and RC1. I'm going to reinstall win7 and see if that fixes it.

Try this one: www dot megaupload.com/?d=GVJ6XYLF (sorry, still not allowed to post links yet)

Strange, it worked for me. I also found working ones by googling "Samsung Epic Win64 drivers"

I'm also finding it impossible to get my epic recognized by my PC. Even if I download and "successfully" install the drivers I still get the "usb device not recognized" message when I plug in my phone.

Have you all tried installing the new pdanet and select samsung drivers. Worked perfectly for me and my new dekstop win 7 x64

I had to manually install the drivers with device manager to get then to work. Click on the yellow exclamation points, select install driver though the properties and point out to your x64 drivers folder.

I am still having trouble getting the drivers installed correctly. No matter what I do I always get the "USB device not recognized" error when plugging in my phone. I've tried manually installing them by pointing directly to the drivers, I've tried running the setup, and I tried the PdaNet program too. None worked. No matter if I have my phone in USB debugging mode or not nothing works and I always get the same error message. I completely remove all drivers before trying another method yet I always get the same error.

Have you tried different ports? I couldn't use the ones on the front of my PC but 1 worked on the back. Seriously a pain in the ass though, sammy should fix it.

Can't install Windows Driver

I can't seem to get the Windows driver installed for the Evo Shift. I uninstalled the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Android phone and the phone shows up in Device Manager with the Yellow triangle, but whenever I try and update its driver and point it to the USB Driver folder from the Android SDK it says that Windows could not find driver software for the device.
Any ideas here? I did try using ADB to check for devices and nothing shows up in the list.
Thanks for the help.

Did you download the right drivers from HTC?

No, I've been trying to point it to the USB Drivers folder from the Android SDK. I can't seem to find the driver from HTC (or know which is the right one).
I didn't think it was HTC Sync but maybe it is...

If I remember correctly what I did (it was so long ago on windows lol), after you download the sdk from google you have to run the sdk/tools/android program to update and download the windows drivers. After that I went to device manager where the yellow triangle is and then right-click on it and select install manually instead of search online for drivers. Then click the browse button and find where in your sdk folder it downloaded the drivers to (can't remember where they are since so long ago). Select the correct drivers, there's probably more then one so you might have to mess around with trying different drivers out to get it working. Hope that helps and good luck. Or you can try the above method and try out the HTC drivers but I never used those so I can't say how to install them exactly.

Ok, I think I got it working, I guess I did need to install HTC Sync to get the driver.
I now have a device number in ADB. My phone said Couldn't find HTC Sync on the computer but I don't think that matters if the device number was in ADB, correct?
Thanks for the help.

That makes sense, I never ran the program, just had it search the folder. I think I got it working though as mentioned in my post right above this one. Thanks.

You need HTC Sync and you need admin rights to install drivers on windows.

Yeah your all good man, when you do adb devices and get your serial # back all is well, I had sync on my Vista pc and it wouldn't let me use HTC sync, it would just say not found, but I always just used the unrevoked EVO drivers and they hold true to this day, I've done G2s inspire and MT4GS all without new drivers

Nexus 4 ADB Connection

I am trying to connect my Nexus 4 to my PC and use the ADB commands. I have the following problems:
ADB driver is installed and "USB Debugging" turned on the Nexus 4. Device shows up on Device Manager, however "adb devices" does not list the device and unable to communicate with the attached device.
The Nexus drive, regardless of MTP or PTP disappears from Windows Explorer when "USB Debugging" is turned on, Turning off "USB Debugging" brings back the drive.
USBView shows the device with a RED light, but it appears working on Device Manager.
I do not have this problem with my other laptop and desktop.
Using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Nexus 4 - Stock 4.2.2
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had sort of the same problem, try uninstalling the driver in device manager, then unplug and replug your USB. Then when you plugged in the USB go to device manager and right click on the device and click scan for hardware changes. See if that works.
I'm not sure if this is a problem caused by windows update or the new updated SDK, but it has been a big problem for me.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried your suggestion but it did not solve the problem. After re-plugging the USB, Windows listed the device as "Nexus 4" and did not find any drivers for it. I manually installed the Naked Drivers (proven to work on my laptop and desktop) but still facing the same problem
I really do not want to reinstall Windows!
Thanks.

OK try right clicking on the the device in device manager and choose update driver, then Browse my computer, then let me pick From a list of devices. After choose have disk on and find the file where your USB drivers are and click next. It may prompt you that windows can't verify the publisher Just click install this driver software anyway.
See if this works.

Try pointing the path to the Google drivers in the android-sdk in device manager and not the naked drivers.

This is what I did and waited for the PC to install the adb drivers.
I plugged the phone in and with the USB plugged in turned it off while holding the volume up and down keys. This made my nexus 4 go into download mode and the PC automatically installed the adb drivers. After I just unplugged and held the power button to restart the device hope this helped.

When you uninstalled what's there now, you did make sure to check the box that will remove the old drivers from your PC?
Just in case, HERE is another source for the drivers.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
Just to confirm I have already tried:
Uninstalling the ADB driver via Device Manager and selecting "Delete the driver software for this device" and rebooting.
After reboot, Windows could not locate any drivers and I manually selected the drivers found inside the SDK (08/27/2012,7.0.0000)
The device shows up on Device Manager as working but does not work with adb commands. However, fastboot commands work!
I tried the above with the Naked Driver and had the exact result.
If I boot into the bootloader, I am able to run fastboot commands perfectly!
I have already ruled out my USB port as it works perfectly on VMware.
I am thinking my Windows 7 is messed up somehow and re-installation is looking like the only solution :crying:

4.2.2 requires updated adb and fastboot. It looks like you have an older version.
Click on the ota help desk link in my signature. The new version is attached to the first post. Replace the old adb and fastboot files with the new ones. Then try again.

Thanks. I tried version 16.01 and still have this problem.
The problem is whenever I uninstall/install the ADB driver or disconnect/reconnect the USB, **ONLY** the "Nexus 4" appears on the Device Manager which I manually install the ADB drivers to. There is not a second "Nexus 4" on the Device Manager for the MTP or PTP.
On my laptop when I remove all drivers and reconnect the USB cable, I always see 2 "Nexus 4" listed on Device Manager. One for the ADB interface and the other for the MTP or PTP.
Please help!

Any ideas please?

Any Solution to ADB connection problems?
Hi was there any solution to this, as I seem to have the same issue.
I have tried different drivers and MTP & PPP modes as well as loading the PDAnet drivers and software.
Each time now I take care to remove all the drivers and also delete the drivers in all modes (Android running and Bootloader running)!
MTP & PPP load different copies of the drivers.
I can get either "Nexus 4" showing up in the device driver or "Google ADB Interface" or Android ADB interface" according to the driver loaded.
I can see the device when Android is running ie "ABD Devices" gives me the serial number and connected, then I can send an ADB command "adb Reboot-bootloader" the Nexus then reboots into the bootloader screen, the device driver changes to the bootloader driver (installs if not installed) however then I loose connection to the Nexus phone! "ADB Devices" returns none connected.:fingers-crossed:
I also tried unplugging and plugging back in the phone in bootloader mode but do not get adb to see the handset or it to react to commands.
I'm just about ready to try a toolkit to see if I can get past this roadblock!!!
Current computer is Win7-x64
This weekend I will try on a different computer.....Win8-X64
All comments appreciated

That's because you cant use adb when in boot loader. You use fastboot

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.

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.
