[Q] trouble installing adb USB drivers on windows

I am attempting to root my HTC Panache (MyTouch 4G) with this guide.
The problem is with the first step which is installing adb and the USB driver. The guide referred to the cyanogenmod wiki on installing the android SDK. I believe that I followed all the instructions correctly but it does not show that my drivers are installed properly in windows device manager and CMD.

}
So here is the entire process that I took:
installed java sdk exe
downloaded Android SDK zip file and extracted to root C:\
opened SDK Manager
installed "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 6" (revision 4 not available) and "Google USB Driver package, revision 4" packages in SDK manager
went into control panel > system > advanced settings > environment variables > double clicked "Path" > added ";C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools"
downloaded and replaced the default "android_winusb.inf" file with the modified file from the cyanogenmod wiki
enabled "USB debugging" and ensured USB was in "charge only" mode in phone
opened CMD and typed in "adb devices", didn't show anything
opened windows device manager and found an "Android Phone" device with the yellow exclamation mark instead of "Unknown Device" with ADB listed under it as mentioned in the cyanogenmod wiki
right clicked and update driver software, clicked browse and located the "C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver" folder with the modified .inf file
"Windows was unable to install your Android Phone"
I've been trying many things for hours so any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Success!
All I needed to do was install the .exe you gave me, restart the computer, device manager > right-click the unknown android phone device and "scan for changes", then the driver automatically installed! confirmed with cmd > adb devices.
Thank you!

Np, the generic drivers normally don't install anyway, have to use the htc ones instead.

Off-topic but, another problem.
I've successfully generated the CID with SimpleGoldCard but it seems that the gold card IMG generator website psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard is down.
Will it be online again? Is there any other way to get the IMG file?

I have no clue what the gold card is really, I last heard about it when people were rooting the magic. Since you mentioned CID, are you trying to unlock the phone fir other carriers ?

No, I do not need to unlock it. The phone is from my carrier Mobilicity, but people referred me to use the Videotron HTC Panache guide (link to thread in OP) because it has a newer ROM version and making a gold card allows to "flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device - in other words, it allows you to flash files that were not made for your phone."
Basically, there was a back-to-school sale on the HTC Panache from Mobilicity and people who wanted to root (and unlock) it followed the guide above.
Please give me any suggestions, thanks!

[Tut][Easy] Recover lost IMEI of your Yureka/+

Hello Guys! Yesterday I was experimenting with my Yureka and accidently I lost IMEI of my phone. I searched YuPlayGod as well as XDA. There are some methods to recover/restore/change IMEI but unfortunately they are not working or they are too difficult to follow for a normal user. I kept searching for the solution and finally came to this. This work is not mine and the credit goes to the respective authors. I just have wrote this tutorial for the reference!
Beware: Changing IMEI is illegal. This tutorial is for those who are having their valid IMEI and have accidently lost during flashing or recoving from a brick. Please refer to your country law for the same.
**Although this tutorial is fully tested as I just have recovered my IMEI, yet I take no responsibility if something wrong happens with your device.**
Difficulty level: Easy
Things Required:
A PC or a laptop with windows as the Operating System, ADB driver installed
Qualcomm USB Composite Device 901D Driver (Link Given)
CKT Qwrite_Writer Tool (Link Given)
2 valid IMEIs to write. Refer to the box or bill for IMEI. It must be there
Your Yureka and a USB data cable
Step 1
Assuming your Yu is rooted. If not, Root it. Enable USB debugging. Install Terminal Emulator and type in the following commands in sequence
$ su
# setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This basically enables USB Diag mode of your phone. Now connect your phone to PC. You would see something like “Installing device driver software” which would fail eventually. Don't worry! We are about to install the Driver.
Step 2
Extract Qualcomm USB Composite Device 901D Driver at a easy to reach location and install it. There is no executable to install. You will have to install it manually using the Device Manager. See Post 2 for instruction.
Step 3
Assuming you have done the previous 2 Steps. Now the original task begins. Extract CKT Qwrite_Writer Tool to any easy to reach location and run an executable “Qwrite_Writer.exe”. You should see the following window.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The left side is to write the IMEI, Right side is to Read.
In left side, IMEI_1 : Enter your first IMEI and check the checkbox associated with it.
In left side IMEI_2: Enter your second IMEI and check the checkbox associated with it.
** Leave other things as it is. Do not touch any other setting as you may mess with it **
Now Click the start button at the Right side of the Message Box. And voila! You got your IMEI back :laugh: :good:

[GUIDE] Fixing Windows 10 doesn't recognize MTP mode when USB is connected

All right, so you have updated your phone's ROM or you have purchased Windows 10 Pro, you plug your USB cable from the phone to the computer. Phones get charge, if you choose PTP (to transfer photos) it works, but if you select MTP or USB storage you hear a sound like if you had disconnected the cable and phone is not recognized.
This is related to a driver problem. To fix it:
1 - Plug the USB and select MTP connection
2 - Go to your Device Manager (Press Win+R, on the search box write "mmc devmgmt.msc" without quotes). You can use any other way you know to enter D. Manager.
3 - You should see something similar to "Portable devices". Display the flange (if not).
4 - Now right click on something similar to "Unknown Device" (yellow highlighted text) with a yellow tringle in the icon.
5 - Choose "Update driver software"
6 - Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
7 - Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
8 - You get a list with a lot of possible drivers.
9 - Choose Mobile Devices/Android Phone/Android USB Devices (you should have at least one of them)
10 - Select "MTP USB Device" from the second screen's list of drivers.
*If you do not see Portable Devices in Device Manager then maybe you don't have installed drivers properly. In that case, first download drivers from here and install them. Then follow this guide.
Some screenshots of the proccess (it is in Spanish but what you have to do is the same and is translated in the steps).

That is the most common solution to the problem. If your problem is not fixed with that, then try this:
Published on Microsoft Answers:
Question:
After anniversary update, MTP is not working.
I tried with different devices as well as on many PCs.
In device manager I get this:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Solution:
1 - Go to C:\Windows\INF
2 - Type "wpdmtp.inf" in search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows 10.
3 - Once you found it, just right click on it and select install. It will take a very few seconds.
4 - Connect your device to the pc. It should be recognized now.
I hope this can be useful for you.

Google Nexus 4 MTP mode not recognized by Windows 10 (Manual Fix)

Hello N4 Owners/Users.​
lately I've been working on IOS & iCloud Activation Lock Security, which is a Job I honestly do not wish you have, because is not a great business at all but, going more deep in this post I'm glad to post it because I've been trying to send iCloud Accounts stored on a PDF at my Nexus 4, a device that I've purchased last month at eBay and is incredible how this device with Unofficial ports runs faster and without bugs, of course using PURE Nexus ROM.
first things first, I must specify that I was sideloading ZIP's, APK, ROMS through ADB SIDELOAD commands, so that the first sign of a properly working USB Port, I didn't noticed yet that I was unable to set up my device as MTP and transfer photos or WhatsApp Folder to my PC.
2 weeks later I've noticed that MTP was not working, even changing "Charge Option" to "Transfer Files" so I just put my knowledge on going, the first thing was download the USB driver at Google SDK webpage, which delivers USB Drivers apart instead with the whole SDK, I've just proceed to download it, I've installed it and for my surprise the MTP was still not working...
what do now ?​
Steps:​
1. Download the proper driver designed by google
Google Nexus 4 Drivers.
2. Make sure your PC is not on secure boot, for this you should reboot your PC and enter to BIOS Setup to make sure secure boot is not activated, if it is, please turn it off.
3. reboot again and let your PC boot, you may notice that the boot sequence UI display a little messed up, but is normal.
4. go to UWP Settings and Select "UPDATE & SECURITY"> "RECOVERY"> "Advance startup" and hit at "Restart Now"
5. your PC is going to restart again & you'll see a menu of likely 10 or 9 options, we need deactivate the option 7.
7). Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.

Click to collapse
doing this your PC will restart again or maybe it just boot the Windows or UEFI Logo.
6. Find & Run CMD as administrator and execute the code below.
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Restart your PC Again.
wait, you need the MTP or really are you craying for such restarts?
okay, that's what I though.
7. Disable ADB on your device and connect it to PC, Open device manager and look for "Android ADB Interface"
8. Right Click on the device and select "Update driver", Select "Browse My Computer for driver software"
9. locate drivers folder you've already downloaded following this guide and after that, you must have this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
If are 2 MTP entries, install them and reboot your PC, and that's all people, MTP working.
Now go back at CMD as Administrator and set this
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now Restart and enter at BIOS, restore secure boot, done!
Hit "thanks" button if this helped you recovering MTP Access and your PC at your N4.

[Guide]Another fastboot/fastbootd driver guide for Windows

Background​When I got my OnePlus 8T (after using Samsung devices and a OnePlus 3T for many years) I could access the phone using adb and, when the phone was in Bootloader mode, using fastboot. But I couldn't access the phone in Fastbootd mode.
I tried lots of different things but none of them worked for me and, worst of all, many of the solutions required downloading files from untrusted sources.
I finally decided to see if the Google USB driver would help and, to my surprise, it fixed the fastbootd problem. So I uninstalled the drivers that were being used for Bootloader mode, the Google driver used for Fastbootd mode,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then did a clean install of the Google USB driver so that I could document the process.
Installation​Without a suitable driver when connected in Bootloader (or Fastbootd mode), my phone shows up under "Other devices" as "Android" with a yellow warning triangle:
I downloaded the Google Windows USB driver from https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb, extracted the contents, and installed the driver by right-clicking on usb_driver/android_winusb.inf and selecting Install:
Next, I booted my phone into Bootloader mode (Note: if Bootloader mode works for you and you didn't want to uninstall the driver, then boot into Fastbootd), found my phone in Device Manager (Other devices), double-clicked it (Android) to pull up the driver details and clicked the Update Driver... button. On the next screen select the second option "Browse my computer for drivers":
And on the next screen I selected "Let me pick from a list of available drivers":
I chose "Androd Device" and clicked on Next:
This brings up the following screen:
(Note: I also have Samsung drivers installed). I clicked on "Google, Inc." under Manufacturer, then "Android Bootloader Interface" from Model and clicked on Next.
I got a warning, to which I replied "Yes":
and the installation completed successfully:
Notice that the phone now shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface" under "Android Device" in Device Manager. Double clicking on it now shows the driver is installed:
And that's it!
I now find that I can also boot into Fastbootd mode, even though I only installed the driver for Bootloader mode.
Note: this driver also works for my OnePlus 3T
