Okay so I am about to go insane trying to get this to work. I've got a MyTouch3g which I just flashed cyanogens 5.0.7 this past week and haven't been happier.
However I was trying to get ADB to work on my new laptop, as my desktop machine is out of commission at the moment. I remember how much of a pain it was to get working, but this is getting ridiculous.
I am running Win 7 64bit with all windows updates. I downloaded the Android SDK and followed all the instructions to the T from cyanogen wiki. Except when I plug my phone in, it reports USB device is not recognized and has 'malfunctioned'. I don't even get anything reported under Device Manager except 'Unknown Device'. From here I've tried updating the device via numerous google reports of 64 bit usb drivers to no success. I also tried the Motorola Droid drivers for the 64 bit via a installer and still no success. I even tried the HTC Sync which still, no success.
I tried using USBDeview and removing any HTC and going from those steps as well, there were two HTC devices listed from when it previously worked fine on my 4.2 cyanogens, and again this didn't help the matters.
At this point I am wondering if something is wrong with my phone? I cannot even mount my SDCard anymore.

I have seen so many threads on this it is making my head spin...I am now completely confused as to what I am screwing up.
The Nexus is my sixth Android phone and I have never had this issue with any of them. No matter what I do, following any guide, I can not get this thing to show in Windows as an ADB Device...It always comes through as an Interface.
I just can not get this thing to recognize in ADB as a device...Anyone have any advice on things to try?
Have ADB, Fastboot, PDANet, SDK/goog drivers on system...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
On a Nexus 4G W/Sprint
I don't have a Nexus S 4G myself so I have to guess at what's happening. It sounds like the computer doesn't have the right USB drivers installed for the 4G phone. From everything I've read, installing PDANet provides the drivers you need. So I'd suggest uninstalling PDANet, checking to make sure you have the latest version (because the 4G is a pretty new phone) and reinstalling it and make sure the USB drivers that come with it get installed.
Ok, here's the situation:
I have a ZT-180 10" tablet, the 256MB RAM 2G version, 1024x600.
I have flashed it a few times last year until I was OK with it in sept/oct, but now I'd like to go with Android 2.2
I've always used my Vista laptop to flash before, so I went to do it again but had to reload the drivers (not a huge deal), and then was able to start the flash.
I left it for a while because I read somewhere that it takes up to 10mins to finish the SPL update, but when I came back to it, it ended up booting up into the old firmware.
I figured it must have simply failed, so I tried it again, but again had to reinstall the drivers, but this time, when I tried to update the "Unknown Device" driver, I got this message when trying to choose the new one:
"the specified location does not contain information about your hardware"
I have since tried on three other computers, Vista and WinXP with the same result.
Now unfortunately I saw that there's some kind of issue with Vista SP2, which I have since checked, and yes, my laptop must have updated since the last time I've flashed.
Also, my firmware is not new enough to do the SD flashing, so I must get the USB method to work at least once.
The only fortunate thing about this it seems is that my tablet WILL fully boot and function on the old firmware, I am just not able to upgrade it.
I'd really like to get my tablet flashed, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have access to WinXP Pro&Home 32bit, Win Vista Home 32bit, Win Vista Home 64bit, Win 7 Pro 32bit, and Win 7 Home 64bit, as well as Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.

There is also a new version of the InfoTM Update Wrap tools - IUW Version 1.2. While the drivers may not have been updated you could attempt with this version and the included drivers.
Search for all instances of the two files listed below and remove before attempting to re-install again using the ones included in the archive of the updated utility attached in post #2 infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius)
Code:
secbulk.inf
secbulk.sys
Eureka! Long way around, but here's what I did.
I removed both those files on my XP SP3 32Bit laptop (old 1GHz Toshiba), and at first I was getting the same result, where I couldn't update the driver.
Then I tried the other USB port, and it actually installed correctly!
From there, I got the green light on BurnTool, however when I tried to flash, it gave me another error where "[0][get otg state 0x0]" was all I was getting, then it would boot (which is I think what happened to me originally).
I searched around to find out what that means, and people suggested another cord/USB port.
Tried a couple different cables I had, still getting the same, then I remembered that one of my gf's laptops was a 32bit Vista, so I verified and it was still SP1.
Download everything to it, configure the burntool, plug'er in and boot to flash mode, reinstalled the driver (worked!), got a green light, and when I initiated the flash, stuff actually came up on the ePad!
Unfortunately the flash apparently failed, so I tried again with only flashing the SPL and Boot, and that seemed to work, then I was able to do the rest via SD (no more USB drivers to deal with... yay).
Now my only issue is that I've tried about 5 different roms, and so far the only one that'll boot is from Jan. After flashing 0603, it was boot cycling, after 0324/0326 it just sat on the Android bootup screen, i think the 05 was the wrong screen resolution because I ended up with a bunch of funky colours.
01 at least boots into a usable UI at least, so I hope my experience may help someone else scratching their head. (it helps having access to like a dozen laptops at home)
More good news.
It seems after 0120 installed correctly, now I'm able to get 0603 flashed properly.
Now the only hitch is that I can't seem to access my device on the Market website to remote install programs, but I can still access the Market on the tablet itself, so it's ok.
VTL Launcher is slick btw. I'm liking it, now I just havta do the battery upgrade.
I've been trying to s-off my phone but its giving me the waiting for device status, after hours of googling i am stumped. I installed the latest SDk/drivers etc. adb devices detects my phone, i've even gone and installed pdanet just to see if it will connect and yes it does. HTC sync detects my phone, but revolutionary doesn't which i find very very odd and stressful. I am running windows 7 64 bit and yes i ran the program as admin. If there is anyone with any insight I will gladly appreciate it.
T.I.A!
MODS PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD UP SOLUTION FOUND!!
I managed to figure it out by replacing AdbWinApi.dll with the newest one from the sdk. Now I am stuck on fastboot as adb doesn't detect it out now. reinstalled fastboot drivers, but nothing happens.
I'm trying to root my HTC Inspire but keep getting the error message "phone not plugged in OR driver not installed OR usb debugging not enabled." The phone is plugged in, the driver is installed, and usb debugging is enabled. I also disabled all Windows/Apple stuff like it says and I read through the entire manual and did everything it said to do. I'm even doing it on an almost-new computer so there are no unnecessary things on it.
I went in the IRC and even shadowfox didn't know how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Phone was shipped with 2.2 and I installed the OTA update for 2.3.3 a few months ago.

Almost new computers often have tons of unnecessary things on them. Stop back in the IRC channel. Try another USB cord/port.
Try using the LiveCD message.
Also, when you plug the phone into the computer, can the OS see it?
try using an Unbuntu CD with attn1's Hack Kit, worked like a charm for me.
+1 on the Ubuntu Live CD method. Way easier than disabling/uninstalling all the crap.
Same thing happened to me, I tried everything but nothing worked finally I tried it on my old laptop ( has XP on it) and got it within first try....
Try changing computer if u can....
Hope this helps.......good luck
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
As someone that has just successfully used the AAHK a few days prior, here was my setup:
Windows 7 Enterprise (clean install, running 3 weeks)
Printer software, java quick starter, and anti-virus disabled
I followed the instructions in the manual and it worked flawlessly. As others have said, definitely try a different usb cord and / or port on your computer. I cannot vouch for the LiveCD method as I haven't used it.
So before installing Windows 8.1, adb and fastboot worked beautifully, however after grabbing the update from the Metro store, fastboot doesn't work, my phone isn't recognized. It says something about "failed enumeration" in the device manager. I've tried reinstalling HTC Sync and redownloading it from HTC's site ti get the latest drivers (after which I uninstall HTC Sync of course)
I've also tried Koush's drivers but neither installs the fastboot driver.

I have been trying to get it recognized in fastboot for pas four hours without any luck.. Prior to this, I also had W8 with working fastboot and now I get the same error as well. I tried numerous times, even uninstalled all my drivers (except for display and mouse) to do a clean driver reinstall, but without luck :/

Hi, can you guys try this method if you still in windows 8.1???
I personally having a samsung phone and I also having this problem after upgraded to windows 8.1 but now I'm back to windows 8 so I just cannot test it. After test please report back the results to me and I really hope it works. Thanks~
By the way, can you guys tell me your phone model???

Well, I tried something similar, but whenever I uninstalled the usb port from device manager, it reinstalled back and reported that the device is not recognized..
I've got HTC One and its drivers don't work on 8.1. However, I installed HTC drivers (by installing and uninstalling HTC Sync Manager - possibly the lamest method that exists) on Vista and it instantly recognized the phone. So the five hours on 8.1 could have been saved by spending circa 3 minutes on Vista.
But on some forum somebody mentioned that you can use live CD of linux and it will get recognized easily

Thanks for your fast reply. Seems that even Microsoft is providing free update for windows 8 but a phone that unable to flash by using bootloader is kinda useless for unofficial ROM users like us.
I have something don't understand from your post. You mentioned that install and uninstall the sync manager on Vista but why not back to 8? The drivers will work on 8 right? I formatted my computer back to 8 and now finally the windows recognize back my phone.
Other than that, do you still have the link to the live CD forum??

Well, my primary PC is my laptop with 8.1, but I've got desktop as well with dual-booting Vista and 8.1 and it is way faster to do it on vista, than to partition HDD and install Windows 8. Also I'm not dev or some tinkerer, so I don't need to use fastboot that often.
To answer the second question, I closed all tabs regarding the drivers on 8.1 as soon as I did what I needed on Vista, so I'm afraid I don't have the link. I could probably find it somehow using my internet history, but I spent several hours browsing various forums, so it would take me an eternity...
