[Q] Can't install ADB drivers- need help!

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)

[Q] PDANet/ USB DRIVER problem

I downloaded PDAnet on my Triumph and on my laptop. When i try to install, I get an error (error 103) . and if i try to connect to my phone, pdanet or my computer is not recognizing my phone. I'm guessing its a problem with one of the drivers...if i turn on usb mass storage, that works just fine but whatever i try to do, pda net is not finding my phone!
can anyone help?! please
Thank You

Have you tried installing the drivers on the included "fake" CD-ROM that starts up when you connect your phone? Either that or check Motorola.com.
Also, are you in debug mode? We need details!

Yessir, my MT (rooted) was in usb debug mode.
I tried installing the drivers in the fake cd rom. it still did not work.
I also tried installing Motorola End User Driver and Motorola Mobile Drivers -Moto Connect and the motorola drivers from PDAnet website.
I checked my windows 7 device manager but it still was not showing the Android ADB Device/ Interface after doing all this. I even checked under portable devices, still nothing. The only thing i can do is turn on USB storage. I installed USBDeview and the android adb interface shows up on there...(see pic)

Okay, I finally got it fixed.
Here's what I did.
* Uninstall any Motorola Drivers installed on your computer
* Install USBDeview
* Run USB Deview as Administrator
* In USBDeview Right click and uninstall any previously installed Android drivers (& any other unwanted drivers) be careful on what you uninstall.
* Restart computer (if you want to)
* Install Motorola End User Driver from Motorola developers site
* After Motorola driver is installed, ADB should show up in Windows Device Manager or USB Deview
* Plug the Triumph in and install the Phone_F_USB driver that's included with the T
*Finally install PDANet or Easytether

Samsung Mobile USB Serial Port Issue

Hi, I'm having an extremly annoyning issue with my S8530. I can't seem to make Windows XP SP3 32-bit recognize properly my phone. I have install all the drivers I could find (old, new, from official site, from the undergorund of the internet) and it still gets stuck on detectic USB Serial Port giving just the message that something went wrong and it can't install driver (from auto-detecting devices from Windows). It did install Composit and Modem parts of the drivers but it allways stuck at that part no matter what driver I pre-install, how many restart I do to the PC, how many USB ports I keep chainging, how many USB cables I swap, how many restart I give to the phone. I'm starting going bananananananananananananananananananas.
Any ideeas are greatly apriciated.

Are you trying to get the USB Mass Storage to work or the ADB over USB?
The normal Windows Mass Storage driver should work on anything.
If you are trying to get the ADB driver to work you may need to
add your VID/PID to the INF file for the ADB driver.

ADB over USB so I can make Kies recognize my phone, wich won't work in Mass Storage. And it should be plug and play (after installing Kies wich installs the drivers or by just intalling the drivers alone). I don't have other machines to trie with Windows 7 (wich allways worked before) and my current PC barelly handles 5 open tabs of Chrome so no Windows 7 options here.

Plug your phone into the Windows box.
Go to Device Manager and find under Properties the VID/PID.
Check the INF file for the ADB driver and see if your IDs are in there.
If not, make a section like all the other sections with your VID/PID in it.
Install the driver.

[Q] Nexus 5 USB driver issues

I started to have this issue since I have formatted my PC (I've got Windows 7 Professional).
If I connect the device without the debugging USB activated, the PC doesn't recognize it, such as the device doesn't exist. Neither the classic sound which the PC does when you connect something to the USBs ports. Nothing, without the debugging USB my PC doesn't recognize nothing, and the device only goes charging, the notify of the USB connected doesn't appear, it could be because the PC doesn't recognize the device.
But if I activate the USB debugging my PC recognizes something. The auto-installation from Windows Update for the drivers starts (it says "Nexus 5"), but it doesn't find any driver on Windows Update. So I've downloaded the original Google USB drivers. I've gone on Computer -> Device -> Right click on Nexus 5 -> Update of the drivers. So I selected the unzipped folder but Windows doesn't install the drivers. It says it's impossibile to find the driver for the device, but I've selected the correct folder!
I've also tried to download the drivers with SDK Manager, but even in this way Windows doesn't install the drivers.
I've also tried to download the "naked drivers" from XDA, but that was the same result.
So I don't know how to do. Why Windows doesn't recognize my device?
My Nexus 5 is still with the stock firmware.

I had this issue with my first N7 2013. I ended up RMAing it because of touchscreen issues, and the replacement never had the issue. From my experience, I can only deduce it's a problem with the hardware.

Pixel drivers on Windows 11

Hey there people,
I can't find a solution for this one, so here I am!
I want to transfer files from my computer on Windows 11 to my original Pixel, but I can't find a way to install drivers for it:
Automatic driver install does not work
Google USB drivers aren't compatible with it according to the device manager
Google drivers from the full list of Windows drivers don't work either
The phone is detected as 4 Pixels in the device manager, as well as a disk which isn't readable and returns nothing in the disk management service of Windows.
Any tip will be really greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to you all

BTW I tried the usual fixes: original cable, other USB port, reboot, changing the USB management setting to PTP/MTP… nothing works.

follow these instructions brother. The fix for me was to put the phone in fastboot mode before trying to install the Google drivers. You do that by issueing the command "adb.exe reboot bootloader",
