I'm trying to install adb drivers on my computer(running xp) since 2 weeks and I can't do it. I have htc sync installed on it and it works great. I've downloaded sdk for windows, launched it and downloaded usb drivers package. I tried MANY TIMES to get those stupid drivers work but NOTHING. I need the adb to root my phone and I still stuck on that STUPID DRIVERS INSTALLATIONS. I read so many instructions, tutorial but nothing. I'm not a newbie on getting drivers work but THIS IS INSANE !!! Help please!

Fixed!
You don't need adb drivers since the new HTC Sync
I'm downloading the latest htc sync (me again) and I will give feedback. Thanks.
But the way, changing environment variables won't affect my system stability?
How would you expect it to change your stability?
The answer is no. I can't imagine any way in which they would affect stability.

I tried installing the latest builds of Haykuro into my G1, they install fine however I lose adb I keep getting "error: device not found" when I revert to the latest JesusFreak build it starts working again just fine, any ideas why? Thank you in advance.
Sometimes adb.exe stay open in windows process close it reboot your phone and plug it again all is good.
did this fix it?
If not i updated to the new spl and got the new drivers and now adb works fine.
I am using Windows 7 64bit... I could get ADB working one time, and two mins later not at all.
I found this "tip" in a prior thread and I cannot remember who to credit (sorry).... but this worked for me last night without a problem....
When you reboot... hit F8, and scroll all the way down and disable Digital Driver Signing.
After I booted ADB was working great.
Thank you all
Thank you for all your responses I will try them tonight =]

Its in the driver package, just unzip it to C:\ then plug in your phone, go to device manager and look for Android Device, then install the driver from that folder on C:\

Thanks for the response. I could've swore I've done that, but maybe I'll try it again.
Hello All.
I've had my UK, T-Mobile G1 for quite a while now. I have rooted it and it is running the latest CyanogenMod recovery image and ROM. I also have Apps2SD set up on my 8GB SD card, on a 512MB ext partition. This was all working fine until the problems below occurred...
I'm having some problems with several apps and ADB.
My PC runs Windows 7, 64 bit, and I can't seem to find a driver for the G1's ADB. I'm probably being incredibly stupid, but I just can't find one. I have used one before on Vista, where I had to set some boot options, but I'm not too sure / happy about doing that on my nicely functioning Windows 7. And as my friend once said; "You mess around with windows, then windows will mess around with you"...
But, anyway, I can't seem to get ADB working, if someone could either send me a link to the drivers or guide me through it, I'd be grateful...
Also, it may be due to me running CyanogenMod, but if I try to update the Facebook app, it downloads the app, and then when it tries to install, gives me the error "Installation Unsuccessful - Incompatible Update".
And with the Google Maps app, it says "Installation unsuccessful - Package file was not signed correctly". This may be due to me trying to get the hacked version of the app to get the Google Maps Navigation working in the UK, but I couldn't get that to work, so I uninstalled it and Nav Launcher, and now when I try to update from the Market it gives me that error.
I've seen a guide online with ADB commands, but as I have no access to ADB, I'm a tad screwed. I've tried runnign the commands in the Terminal Emulator in the phone, which does approximately nothing whatsoever.
So, can anyone give me any guidance on any of my Android problems?
Thanks in advance - Ethan
To the best of my knowledge no one has successfully used ADB with Windows 7/64bit

In that case, do you remember where you obtained the driver from? I would love a link, or a zip file or something...
I'm on Vista x64 SP2 and I can use ADB just fine. You just need to download the SDK and then get the USB driver through there. It used to come included, but now you need to use the ADV and SDK manager and download the drivers as an SDK Component through there.
After that, make sure your phone is set to USB Debugging mode and plug it in then point windows to the new drivers. If it doesn't want to install the new drivers, you might need to remove the old ones first. I had to use USB Deview (DL link at bottom of page) and removed all installed HTC drivers. After that I plugged my G1 back in, pointed it at the newly downloaded drivers and all was well.
I'm running adb/fastboot/android sdk on win7 64b ultimate. The drivers are included in the sdk download. Once you download the sdk, make sure you have java installed. (I had to install JRE and JDK to get it to work properly, not sure if this was needed) Anyhow, when you have the sdk downloaded, run the sdk setup program. Go to settings and check the box for force update (unsure of the exact terminology used there) then go to available updates and your drivers are the last option on the list.
I've followed the guide to a T on both a Windows 7 (launched as Admin) and on a XP machine. In both cases the program sits at "Waiting for device...".
Driver installed, USB Debugging set to on. Nothing... Happens...
Never installed Sync on either OS, nor, as far as I know, is it on my phone.
WTF?!
Install Sync.
I'm having the same problem and I have sync installed. Not sure what to do.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Hmm ok I will try installing Sync. Where do I get that from? I can't seem to find it.....
are the hboot drivers installed (different from the motorola drivers)
I followed everything exactly as it said to install the bootloaders and it won't connect to the phone. When I first tried it would connect but I didn't properly install the drivers
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
I suggest a Switch to the Linux version...
Do yourself a favor...download a "live" linux distro (Ubuntu works fine on most all hardware) and use the Linux version of Unrevoked. I went that method after several hours of frustration under Win 7...
I was having this same exact issue! The solution (as someone else mentioned) was to install HTC Sync. Then make sure you close Unrevoked (if you already didn't) and launch it using right click > Run as Administrator.
If you installed the driver properly, it should work!
Btw, when I had the driver installed (the one that Unrevoked comes with) I was still seeing an unrecognized device under Device Manager when I connected my Aria with debugging enabled. Installing HTC Sync fixes that problem.
I couldn't find HTC Sync nor could I really even find out what it was. I'm assuming it's a Windows program?
Anyway, since I couldn't find that, I downloaded the newest Ubuntu distro, ran unrevoked as sudo, and STILL does not connect. STILL says "Waiting for device..." Ran as root, USB Debugging on. This sure is a huge pain in the ass for "Painless root and reflash".....
Is there a forum specifically for this program? I'd love to get some feedback from the developers here.
EDIT:
Ok so I finally got it to work by having the phone plugged in BEFORE running the program as sudo. It was quick and painless after that! Thanks for all the help, sorry about the sarcasm, I got flustered haha.
I had issues with my Aria connecting to PC due to multiple user being logged in at once via Fast User Switching. Me, my wife, and my son are sharing same PCs, and normally all three of us are logged in, and we just switch between our profiles using Windows-L key. And when there is someone else logged on besides me, my Aria simply won't connect -- neither to Unrevoked, nor even to HTC Sync itself.
Same thing was happening to my Nike+ wristwatch before, by the way.
Please try to avoid creating new threads for topics already being discussed. For you issue, please visit the Unrevoked thread. If you cannot find the solution posted there, feel free to create a new post in the existing thread.
Hi all,
I just installed a fresh copy of win7 ultimate on my HTC shift and installed all drivers because the old install was getting sluggish. Everything works except for two things: interpolated high resolution gives a blue screen crash when aero is active (no transparency) and the windows basic theme is UGLY. And the second problem: after I install like 85 windows updates shag control center crashes and have to restore a system recovery point. Do you know what update causes this so i can hide it and install the rest?
Many thanks,
Pelle

Which drivers did you use? I hope you are not using the Windows Vista drivers. Download the Shift Windows 7 drivers from this link http://azsharing.com/yvex8pwmz01j/SHIFT.zip.html. Install the Windows 7 drivers discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590009. The sequence of installing them is precise including those that you need to install in Vista Compatibility mode and with Admin Privilleges. As the OP stated some of the drivers will be installed through Windows update but check which ones. Follow the recomendations in that thread and all will work like a charm...
I believe your Shag Control problems and all display problems are related to the drivers and not Windows update. Mine is on automatic updates and I have not excluded any updates at all save for the Language Pack that I do not need....
Re-install the drivers and lets see what happens after that. By the way DO NOT ENABLE AERO BEFORE INSTALLING THE GRAPHICS DRIVERS otherwise you get BSOD....... That advice is shown as Important in the thread mentioned above. Enable aero theme as the last thing you do with all drivers installed to avoid any problems.
I hope you get sorted and enjoy your Shift with Windows 7......
Edit>>>> There is a way to disable Aero when facing your current BSOd situation through Screen Resolution Settings but I dont remember the precise steps. I can retrace the steps on my Shift once I get to it after work and see whether that will help you. But let me know whether re-installing the drivers will have sorted you out>>>>>
Hello,
I used the driver sequence at gadgetmix (sorry, i can't post links yet) because it worked fine a year ago and the drivers from the HTC website in vista compatibility mode and run as administrator.
With reinstalling do you mean that I have to uninstall the old driver and install the new one or can i just install the new driver over the older one?
Thanks
Pelle
EDIT: had aero off the entire installation

Best is to uninstall and then install afresh using Windows 7 drivers..... Perhaps even check box to delete the old driver as well. If Aero was off during installation you dont have many problems. Aero on during 7 upgrade especially before graphics driver update causes Bsod or boot loop.
You should be ok when you install the windows 7 drivers. But the sequence of driver installations is important.... All the best
Have been fiddeling with the drivers for a while now and given up. just started Windows 7 setup again. After that i will use the windows 7! drivers and hope for the best.
Pelle
EDIT: windows just installed. Turning off Aero and starting drivers... Fingers crossed
Drivers just finised and now the sond doesn't work
Tried rolling back/ updating driver, reinstalling driver muting unmuting in windows and shift control center but no luck...
And when I press the resolution changer I have to reboot to switch resolution.
shift control center has to be selected from start menu to start
This is a lot worse than when i did it using the tutorial at gadgetmix
Any idea how to fix this?

Sorry to hear about the problems you are facing. I am surprised coz I did the Windows 7 installation just a few weeks ago after reviving my dead Shift and everything is working perfectly for me. The only thing I havent fully sorted out is Finger print thing but I know I only need an hour or 2 with it and all will be well.
Incidentally did you do a clean install of 7 or you upgraded Vista?
Since you have just done a fresh install and you dont stand to lose much I would advise that you re-install Vista (F3) which will install all the drivers then Upgrade Windows 7 from the freshly re-installed Vista. You can then install drivers for any device that will show not to be installed after 7 upgrade.... Of course following the sequence and allowing Windows Update to take care of the rest.

The problem is that i once had to replace my HDD because some idiot dropped my shift and for some reason the accelerometer didn't kick in and trashed my hard drive. So pressing F3 won't do anything. Are there any other solutions?
DID IT! It was in my windows 7 install disk. Downloaded and burnt one (it should be legal because I have paid for it) installed, installed drivers an BOOM! everything works! aero, HiRes in aero sound, its nice and responsive battery life on power saver 2H and 45 minutes, havn't tested modem yet as my sim card is in my smartphone but will do that. Thanks a lot for all of your help! I will be hanin round here to help others. I AM SO HAPPY EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH MY LOVELY SHIFT! Updates Sucseeded and everything works perfect!
Only one more question: is it safe to install sp1? Or will that give problems with some of the drivers.

Glad you finally managed to get your Shift up to speed. I always felt that your peculiar issue boiled down to bad install which is confirmed by the first software you used. What type of disk did you use for the Hdd replacement - Hdd or SSd and for what capacity. Been thinking of upgrading but Ssd costs are still up there in teh skies and might not justify upgrading for the ageing Shift....
You can update to Service Pack 1 no problem. I have it and no issues at all.

I Bought the exact same drive on ebay for $30 or so. I solved the hard drive light staying on by just running CHKDSK but now the same programs just crash...
It now happens when trying to do a system score, when changing my network to public and when uninstalling a program using control panel. The rest all works fine.
Well guys I've been trying for hours now, whenever I try to install the USB drivers in order to unlock my bootloader, when I plug in my Nexus it installs the MTP drivers on it's own, if I try to install the google drivers downloaded from ADB all I get is a message saying the best drivers for my device are already installed and it doesn't let me overwrite them.
If I go with the use disk option it doesn't let me choose the usb_drivers folder because it just wants to use a .inf file, whener I follow the instructions the toolkit dictates I read the dead end with the "The best drivers for your device are already installed"
I'm so angry right now.... Please help me.
Are you on a Windows XP operating system by any chance? There are major issues with MTP mounting on WinXP regardless of the service pack you're on. Some people claim they've gotten things working by updating WMP, via a Naked Driver and even by installing the Android SDK. Let me know if you are indeed on WinXP & I'll get you some links
Did you try following Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to install the drivers? That helped me. I cannot post a link so look around for it.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, thanks guys, I just gave up and did it in my sister's laptop, it worked on the first damn attempt, maybe the drivers of my N10 were screwing something up, that's my best guess.
Glad you got that sorted--just for future reference, a common recommendation for people having driver issues with their Nexus devices is to simply go into Win Device Manager, uninstall all your current Nexus & ADB drivers and restart. Then plug your phone in via USB and let the auto installation do its thing. Usually this fixes all issues w conflicting device drivers
