I apologize if this is not the right forum and I would request that it be moved, not deleted, if possible if its the wrong forum. I'm kind of stuck here.
Have a bit of an interesting situation. I am running Windows 7,
got the USB driver successfully installed... boot up the command prompt and BAM:
C:\android>adb remount
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
C:\android>adb devices
List of devices attached
Here is the weird thing...
C:\android>fastboot devices
HT97JLV05321 fastboot
It looks like the fastboot is recognizing that my phone is attached but the adb shell will not. Any ideas what the issue could be?
LOL, I just switched back from Ubuntu to Windows 7 just to see how things have progressed. There are so many little Windows 7 quirks that drive me crazy that drove me back to Ubuntu almost instantly. Give Linux a try. A good starting Linux OS would be Linux Mint:

I had a similar issue when I tried it. Despite the fact that there are 64-bit drivers for Vista/7 available, I don't believe they actually work for ADB currently. I'm pretty sure everyone who has ADB working is using Windows XP 32-bit.
I actually burned a copy of Ubuntu that I was just going to run off of the CD. I'll give that a shot and see if it lets me do what I need to do. Thanks for the quick responses.
I am using Windows 7 final (RTM) (64-bit) and also Windows 7 Beta (32-bit) on two different computers. They all work fine with adb commands.

I faced the same problem a few days ago. I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and in a first installations the drivers work fine and the device has been displayed, but BAM when I try to use ADB no way.
After many tries I resolved the issue running the Command Prompt as "Run as administrator" and VOILA worked fine.
I hope this can help you.

Try Mint instead of Ubuntu. Mint is Ubuntu based. The big difference with Mint is that it already has all of your codecs installed - great for beginners.
If you installed first the htc sync, you have to remove the current drivers..
and had the drivers from the androidsdk pack! There's is a a lot of program who delete usb installed hardware/drivers.. delete all from htc on this programs!
Hope this solves ur issue!
I use Win7 64bit(rc1) .. i have the amd64 driver installed..
I see the phone from adb (not fastboot) when it's normally connected with USB debugging turned on.
I see the phone from fastboot (not adb) when it's in fastboot mode.
I have no choice but to laugh at myself, just realized I was IN FASTBOOT on my phone and not recovery. Fail me.
Now if I could just edit this apps2hd code /sigh.

Except that... that wasn't my issue Its ok thanks for the input.
"error: device not found"
I can't get ADB to work with my Windows 7 X64 Ultimate. Windows automatically install a driver for the phone when I plug it in. When I try to install my own driver with the one in the SDK, I get:
"....doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
Doing a update to the driver, it says the one I have installed is already up to date.
I have the latest Win 7 with all important Window updates.

The same confi, the same result
Everything works fine here with Win 7 Ultimate x64, you just install the driver in the Android SDK.
make sure u have usb debugging checked... cause i have windows 7 rtm ultimate and my adb works fine... i just loaded the needed file into windows/system32 and also put my fastboot.exe in there and added the tools folder to the environment variables and have no problems
What do I load to the system32 folder? I can't install the drivers from the SDK package. Is there a way to overwrite the ones Windows automatically installs and thinks is more up to date?

Make sure your phone is in recovery mode and NOT fastboot mode.
Finally, I experienced that error you people had been reporting. It MAY have to do with the HTC Sync driver, as suggested, but it really had worked fine with other roms before, so I am not sure. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, tried to push the ADB driver manually, but that didn't work. And, before I try to uninstall the HTC Sync driver as suggested (I don't even know if I have that installed), I got it working by just plugging in another USB flash drive. Go figure.
So for anyone still having the issue after trying all other solutions, try this bizarre one:
1. Go to device manager and uninstall the HTC disk drive device. (This alone won't work, I tried)
2. With phone still plugged in, plug in a USB disk drive (or maybe just any USB device?) into another USB port.
3. Suddenly Windows 7 detect that unknown ADB driver, as it should. Now you can go ahead to install the correct ADB driver.
As a side note, this computer running Windows 7 Beta/RC have had a lot of problems with USB disk drives in general. The problems disappear after Windows 7 RTM (final).
I was following the guide over at cyanogen's wiki to install the sdk and I haven't been able to get it working.
I added the tools directory to the environmental variable, ran the setup, tried to install the usb driver, and turned on usb debugging but it wont install. Windows gives me a failed to install driver notice and when I type adb devices in the console it says "List of devices attached".
I've uninstalled the drivers with USBDeview and plugged my phone back in several times, but it still wont work.
Using Win7 and a Nexus One, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Nevermind, got it working. Went too far into the usb_drivers directory when I was trying to install it..
I figured it out!
I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize my phone as an ADB device. I have an HTC EVO, running cyanogen 6.1. I've downloaded the android SDK, as well as several of the SDK components (Google-usb-driver, platform-tools, and several APIs).
When I plug in my phone, my computer would not recognize it as an ADB device, so i removed the drivers from my computer and tried again. I attempted to manually install the drivers from the file (C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) with no luck. I tried going into the amd64 file (I'm running windows 7, 64bit), but my computer would not recognize the drivers.
I'm new to all of this (this is my first post)- any and all help would be greatly appreciated
I am having the same problem with a HTC Hero (Sprint) tried everything but i can't get my pc to regocnize the adb driver
same thing with stratosphere.
I have the same problem with an unrooted samsung stratosphere. I need to install the adb drivers to use the smartdog remote web desktop through usb. The samsung usb drivers are already installed so it won't let me install the adb drivers. What can I do?
Funny I thought I was having problems with ADB cuz I'm on a Mac but it appears you Windows catz are SOL too...WTF is up with ADB not recognizing devices? Somebody should have a fix or some info on this, so frustrating, I just wanna root my damn devices!
had the same issue. here what I did and it worked:
- go to junefabric dot com
- download and install PDANet( 'cause it got adb usb driver in it)
- uninstall PDANet( if you have no use of it. don't worry, adb usb driver doesn't uninstall)
I'm using the add hardware wizard in windows xp to install adb interface driver found at ...\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf After installing the driver the add hardware wizard reports software for my hardware was installed but may not function properly error code 10 device cannot start, and in device manager adb interface appears with a yellow exclamation I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, updating the driver no luck With the phone booted to system with adb enabled the driver in device manager remains yellow exclamation and the same with the phone booted in recovery mode (cwm) How can I get this windows xp driver correctly installed
I have been trying to install the Google USB Driver so I can flash a custom rom. when I tried to install it, I got this error: "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows x64-based systems"!
I'm using Windows 10, x-64-based.
Any solution?
Does not really help with Win10 but that convoluted USB-driver situation in windows is one of the reasons why I switched to Linux.
Still, if google's own installer doesn't help:

...perhaps another, more OEM-specific driver will work:
