I got an HTC Legend that is branded to Vodafone. Trying to debrand it and following the Unlockr instructions--but the first thing to do is to set up android adb and load the windows drivers. I found the Windows drivers it did not work. I then found online a guy with advice on the two lines you need to add to the inf file--but it still does not work. I am on windows XP and getting frustrated because it looked like it copied over some driver files but it still is not recognizing the Legend.
Next I tried it on a mac but could not even find the USB drivers for mac. Google has now separated the inf file from the adb download. So the phone does not install itself automatically. So when i type "ADB devices" I don't get my phone serial number. So I am stuck. Any advice on how to do it with the Legend? All suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks

if your trying to use the android drivers you have to add a htc legend section into the drivers .inf file when you download the android sdk run the setup and only accept the driver then edit the .inf with your legend hardware ids and then it installs perfectly, this method works on both xp and win7
driving me nuts
could you show me how to do this please?
pics would be nice.
i'm also struggling to get my legend detected by any OS (XP, 7 x64, ubuntu x86).
doesn't seam to matter what i use (htc sync 2.0.33, PDAnet, drivers from websites - i've tried them all) i just can't get them to install and recognise my legend.
the thing i find a little worrying is that linux wont even pick up my legend in disk drive mode.
Hi, if you have installed htc sync it also installs the usb drivers.
after you install, unplug usb cable from phone, reboot computer.
after computer reboot plug in usb, hardware wizard shoud find a whole heap of new devices "android phone, adb. etc... on phone go into htc sync mode, more devices should be detected too. if none of these things happen you may have a usb device conflict with other usb devices connected (I had problems with a vodadfone wireless broadband dongle conflicting with other usb devices).
I have a legend with HBOOT 1.01 and i followed a guide on here
[guide] how to root HBOOT 1.01
I followed most of the steps (I didn't restore the backed up misc_backup.img) and the only problem i had was after i downgraded from froyo i needed extra drivers which are called "android 1.0". other than that I had no real issues that a reboot of computer didn't fix.
Hope this helps
Hy guys I've got a bit of a problem over here. I want to use my wildfire for testing apps as a emulator in eclipse. Problem is that in SDK manager cant ''find'' my phone. So far i download the USB driver package, revision 3. But when i connect to the computer the windows cant find the drivers in directory "....\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver". Then i installed HTC sync since it has usb drivers, but still i couldnt see it in SDK manager. I runned ddms where i'm able to see my phone. At the end i deleted the drivers and installed PdaNet, the result was the same.
I wonder what i'm i missing ?
Btw what option should i choise when i connect phone to the computer ? ( Charge only, HTC sync etc. )
And yes i set my phone to USB Debug mode
I'm using Windows XP SP3 & Wildfire is not rooted ( 2.1 android )
I hope my english is fine and thank you for your answers
Anyone ?
You windows xp is 64bit ? If yes, you can't install this. And if no, try install drivers from sd card.
No i use 32 bit system , but i'll try to install them for SD
Hello,

I tryd it already on multiple pc's does someone have a sollution for this problem?
Had a similar issue - no error but device not detected. What I did was open device manager and update the driver for the unknown device - did the trick.

try that, and did you install zune?
and what about windows sdk so it can install drivers as well.
You can also download the "WMDC X64 driver update" and install it, I have had to do that when had USB issues.
When you say you've tried it on multiple PC's. Are the other computer also Windows 64-bit or are they 32-bit. If they are 64-bit then there is obviousley an incompatibility. That's why I stay with 32-bit even though it only supports 3.5GB of my 6GB ram ;/

*NOTE* I'm not sure if this will be the same for you guys but I had to plug my phone into USB slot 2. USB slot 3 would not work.
Just a little heads up

I'm just posting it in this forum because it works fine and a lot of people aren't aware of this method
Awesome man. Don't even have my One but if I have problem with Windows 8, it's great that you already posted a solution.

It took me quite a while of searching to actually find that guide but I'm glad I did otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my bootloader or rooted
Been trying to get the driver to work on my W8 laptop for my E3D. This worked for it after spending hours trying all sorts. Thanks a million. I will be sure to go through to the other thread and say thanks too.
If only I saw this before I spent hours last night trying to get adb to recognise my phone. I somehow got there in the end but this would've saved me a good two hours!

Yeah, that's the guide I used a couple of weeks ago. Think I might have posted it in the rooting tutorial thread....would have been lost without it.

i can't install a driver for the MTP device. should it be in that zip? i'm trying to get it to install from that directory and it says it can't find a driver for it....
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
Here's what I'm doing
- Uninstall all current drivers & HTC Sync
- Restart PC
- Your method exactly
- Restart PC
Phone when on normally connects to adb just fine,
but when I put it into the bootloader it takes around 15 seconds to detect it and then says it's unrecognised and gives the error below:
Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Any help would be appreciated. For now, I'm running a copy of W7 on an old 2.5" drive... not ideal.
Tried this technique and it still won't work.
@petedavison93 and the owner of this thread, did you guys find a fix to pete's issue as I'm having the same issue as Pete, please help!
Had the same issue and installed different drivers several times without luck.
It was fixed for me by simply plugging in the phone into an USB port at the motherboard. The front USB and additional USB3 ports at the PC were not working, when the device is booted to the bootloader. They are working with adb only, when the phone is running normal.
I am running Win8x64.
Great Instructions

Anyone happen to know where I can find some windows 7 32bit drivers. Windows 8 32bit isn't a fan of 64bit software.
It isn't a problem with the HTC drivers. It's the usb drivers from Ms for Intel 3.0 bus. I found a thread that I'm searching again for that give the instructions on replacing the signed ms driver with an unsigned win 7 64bit host controller driver. It's two files and you need to first allow unsigned drivers in windows security. Needless to say it's fine now on my 3 ports.

I have win 7 x64. htc sync + official android sdk for win x64 made it right for me.
It is possible that my system downloaded drivers from the Internet also.
Did you try that (htc sync + official android sdk for win x64) ? You can do a online search for drivers (from the device manager).
