HTC Legend USB drivers

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

[Q] ADB Driver not being found - XP

Attempting to root my Droid X for the first time and have encountered a major complication. My PCs will not recognize my ADB interface.
So I started with NOOBs walk through and downloaded the 4.6 moto drivers. Installed the drivers. Followed the root directions for installing the SDK and updating it. Go to the point with typing "adb devices" at the command prompt and no devices are listed. I went into my DX --> Settings --> Applications --> turned on USB DEBUGGING. This now prompts me for additional drivers. Nothing works or is recognized as drivers for the ADB. I've tried the USB Driver_TI.zip, the USB_Driver_3.4.6_patch_ for HG.zip, and using the google drivers from the sdk/extras folder. No luck.
With debug turned on I have the device showing with an exclamation mark in my device manager. I've tried manually pointing the device to all of the drivers mentioned above with no luck. I've tried this on a 2nd XP machine with no luck. Same issue.
My droid X is about 2 weeks old. MB810 from Verizon.

May I ask.... why not just download Z4 Root and press "root"? If all you are wanting to do is root the phone.

I agree z4 is the easiest method for the x. To use adb you need the android sdk package,correct drivers,and you need to edit the system environment path to include the folders you adb files are in
Sent from my Droid

Again I would recommend using z4root. It's very easy to do and requires no drivers on your computer

I struggled with this on my XP box when first trying to root my Desire HD. I eventually accidentally found the solution:
Install HTC Sync before connecting the phone to the PC.

[USB Drivers] Galaxy S GT-I9000 (Working on ICS)

Hello.
And bacon and spam:
I've recently upgraded my SGS to ICS (ICSSGS ROM) and started to develop a simple application.
So, now i've got to the point that the emulator starts to show its limitations, so i need to debug directly on the real device.
Well, i've been trying to make ADB recognize my phone, tried several usb drivers from several sites, none of them worked.
After several hours spanking windows, it's finally working (yes! almost 6 AM in the morning!).
What matters:
So, to anybody who have the same problem as i had, do the following:
0. Uninstall any drivers that you've tried before.
1. Extract the zip file that i've uploaded to anywhere you like.
2. Enable debugging on your phone and connect it to PC throught the USB cable
(Just connect it, don't mount)
3. On your computer, click Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> Manage
This will open the "Computer Management" window (it might take some seconds to load).
4. Click "Device Manager". Now you should find your device in the list. It must be really easy to find. It's called something like "GT-I9000" or "GalaxyS" and it has a yellow warning sign next to it.
5. Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software". In the window that appears, choose "Browse my computer for driver software". It then asks you where is the driver.
6. Click the "Browse" button and choose the folder you extracted from my zip file.
(If you didn't change it, it must be called "Android Composite ADB Interface")
7. Click "Next" and cross your fingers. If you're lucky, it may work for you.
Final notes:
1. I'm not responsible for ANYTHING. Whatever you do, it's your own choise to do it. I guarantee absolutely nothing.
2. This is was tested on Windows 7 - 64 bits with Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM and Semaphore ICS 0.9.1 Kernel.
3. Have fun.
4. If you try this, please answer the topic and tell everybody if it's working for you (mentioning your Windows version and what ROM you use).

Missing file when installing driver on windows 7 x64
Hi,
I have recently installed the most recent Dark Knight ICS 4.0.4 build to my Samsung Galaxy S. The ROM seems very good but I'm an android app developer and need to be able to debug my applications on the device via USB.
I have tried the driver provided in the thread which won't install due to a missing file according to the Windows 7 x64 driver install wizard. The exact message is displayed after step 7 and says:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
"Android Composite ADB interface"
"The system cannot find the file specified".
Is there a file missing in the package? Has anybody managed to get this driver working?
Cheers,
Ben

Does it say that it doesn't find a controller or that is there a missing file?
Anyway, please try this installer and let me know if it works for you:

What's wrong with the Nexus S drivers available with Android SDK?
Google USB driver, R4 developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
The SGS will present it self like that when it is running ICS/CM7/CM9.

Dont work for me.
System: Windows 7 x64
Android 4.04 Dark Knight
Nevertheless thanks for your approach. I'll test if it works with the SDK Updater.

I'm going to test in my desktop this weekend to check if it works with it.

I have the same problem, but with WIndows 7 32 bit. Drivers from discusion doesn't work. Don't you have some for 32 bit?
I found SDK Components on developer.android.com, where is Android driver which suppose to work, but unfortunately ODIN still do not see phone.

I also have the same problem but mine is worse because my phone is completely down after I tried to restore from a GB ndriod backup failure , phone won't boot , cannot boot into recovery only in download mode but no way my 4 x computers would detect the phone now ....tried using heimdall in linux as well as sdb, no go....so sad...help...

Using Google USB drivers finally worked for me. They can be optionally installed with Android SDK using SDK manager (extras). After installation drivers can be found in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver.
Just follow the instructions in the first post to find your device from device manager with exclamation mark. Need at least one reboot to work and I also redirected the driver installation process to Google usb driver directory but now ADB finally recognizes my SGS (MyICS, Android 4.0.3).
Edit: Operating system Vista 64-bit
[Currently stuck in "error: device not found" while trying adb push -command. I will update if I find a workaround. Probably something to do with inf-file.]
For alternate .inf -file (optional):
Google "usb-drivers-not-working-after-flash-latest-rom-ota" and see post #12 to see alternative inf-file. Some have managed to make adb recognize the device with that file, but I have at least this far been unsuccessful.
Edit: Problem above was caused by me being stupid and trying to use push in shell, which caused phone unable to locate host system folders. I don't know if that inf file has anything to do with drivers working now, but go ahead and try it if doesn't work with the original .inf

I got my i9000 recognized using the latest drives from the Google sdk

That‘s great

What should i do after instaling SDK

This worked for me

The very important thing is that newest Google USB driver is in
Code:
[B]<android-sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/[/B]
location, not in
Code:
<android-sdk>/usb_driver
It really makes the difference !

these drivers only worked once...
all the other times killing and starting over adb i was getting error messages like "device not found" and "protocol fault" even though adb devices was listing the device online.
apparently i connected the phone to another USB3 port on my pc (front panel) and that was it!! it now works every time i type adb shell or adb devices.i no longer get any error messages.rather weird
anyway..i also wanted to be up to date with everything so i uninstalled all related software like the older java 6 jdk, Android SDK and the drivers mentioned above.
i followed the procedure below and installed all the latest packages:
latest java 7u5 JDK, the latest Android SDK (nstaller_r20.0.1-windows.exe) then ran sdk-manager and loaded http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver google USB drivers rev 6. then installed these drives so i got the ADB composite interface on my device manager and it all works fine now.

I recenelty installed latest ICS , and SDK recognizes my phone as ACER ADB , when I'm pretty sure its a Samsung I9000 . I tried uninstalling the ACER ADB and install the one that the guy posted in the first post , and it didn't work , it said this driver is not compatible , oddly it reinstalled ACER ADB though. I can't even uninstall it at all , I removed all my Samsung drivers , and everything else I installed for Samsung , and its still there , I even tried removing the GOOGLE USB drivers , still there.
Neendless to say that the phone doesnt connect to the PC at all even though it says everything is alright. For example i got ths gPAD app , which uses the USB with Debugging to turn the phone into a mouse , but it says its not connected even though it is.

[Q] Cant root (drivers issue)

Purchased my girlfriend the verizon g2 for valentines day. Trying to root but I cant get adb to recognize the device.
I have downloaded the unified LG drivers and install all them but when I put the phone into ethernet mode I get a driver not installed error in windows and have four devices in device manager with yellow exclamation points next to them. Attached is a screenshot.
Adb devices shows no results. Have tried on two different computers windows 7 both x64 and x86 and the exact same issue applies.
Can someone help me get the proper drivers installed so I can continue to root this sucker? Thanks =)

right click on the drivers on the device manager and manually install them.
1. browse my computer manually
2. let me pick form a list
3. navigate to the android adb drivers as those are all you should need

ADB driver woes

New laptop (to me) Dell e7470.
Win7 x64
Phone: XT1575
Installed:
MotorolaDeviceManager_2.5.4
MotoHelper_2.1.32_Driver_5.4.0
Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_6.4.0_64bit
(also tried Kushik Dutta universal adb driver from 2013)
No adb driver detected or found when all the other drivers install fine when plugging in the phone
I've tried multiple usb cables, but this all works fine on my other computers.
If reboot to fastboot Motorola ADB driver is found and installed
But no adb driver when in rom
I've done this successfully for years, first android device many moons 2008ish
I dont know why this laptop is giving me troubles, or maybe i'm just gettin old and forgot a basic sequence or step to success.
Thanks for any ideas, its got to be something dumb.

You need to turn on usb debugging - developer options.
Minimal adb & fastboot installed too.
Dev.opt. - settings - infi about phone - tap few times compilation number. @eigerzoom
What for do you need adb if fastboot works?
MDM is all you need for drivers.

I have adb debugging enabled
I apparently need it for tethering, since that isn't working.
Works just fine on my other win7 asus laptop.
Any other ideas?
it feels like windows is missing something, but its hard to feel a computer

Run cmd and type:
adb devices

I've done that, thats how i test it.
its blank
actually i test it with 'adb usb' which gives error: no devices

File transfer works?

how would it transfer files if no device is found?
adb device shows up in device manager with an error

File transfer - mtp - not needed adb drivers. From notification bar you can change/enable when connected.
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------
Error in win dev manager - rpm - update driver - choose from installed.
Find & choose "adb device".

I'll test it soon, sorry
Also in developer settings you can choose usb configuration mode
if I cycle through them all
All drivers get recognized except in 'audio source' mode xt1575 no drivers install, and in 'rndis usb ethernet' no adb drivers install

I haven't Windows english version - I don't know names.
So I suggest:
Uninstall all Android programms(apps) & drivers from pc, restart pc.
Install and run MDM, when it finished connect Moto with debugging on, allow the connection on Moto(it should ask itself) .

Anyone else???

No try what @dzidexx suggested, before asking for someone else! Especially since his solution isn't hard to try out and see if it works!

I've done all that....obviously....
ANYONE ELSE ???

something tells me i have to install a stock rom to get the adb driver to install
and then it will work fine installing other roms after that
running LOS13 currently
i've run into this in the distant past on pre 2010 devices
anyone else with ideas?
