To preface this, I'm running Windows XP and have an HTC Hero that's running CM6 Froyo. I have been using USB transfer fine for a while. Then, I decided to try out USB tethering and it wouldn't work without the proper HTC RNDIS drivers so I downloaded the drivers and installed them. Now, I can use USB tethering but cannot transfer files via USB. The drive simply doesn't show. I uninstalled the HTC RNDIS driver and plugged in my phone again but windows automatically installs the same HTC RNDIS drivers. I tried manually updating the driver by pointing it to the android USB drivers I got from the android sdk but they won't install. I tried deleting all instances of the RDNIS drivers but windows still automatically installs it. Windows first recognizes my phone as an "Android Phone" but then displays it as "HTC Remote NDIS Device." after installing those drivers. This is extremely frustrating and I'm sick of Windows at this point, or at least the add hardware wizard. Can any one help me please? Thank you.
I have this problem as well.

This must have been covered before but search does not seem to be working for me here.
I want to access the mem card in my Fuze (stock ROM) on my work PC but it needs to load a driver for the new USB device it detects. I do NOT want to install ActiveSync on the machine, only the driver that will allow the USB connection to work in Disk Drive mode.
Anyone know what file and where I could find it would allow this connection to work?
Installing applications is prohibited by company policy and installing ActiveSync would be detected. Installing a USB driver would not be.
Anyone?

What OS are you using? Windows 2000 and definitely XP and Vista are plug and play. I'm using XP and the driver is here:
c:\Windows\system32\drivers\USBSTOR.SYS
If that driver isn't on your system, have you tried using the "Found New Hardware" wizard to connect to microsoft to automatically download the driver for you?

XP. The driver is not found by the wizard. I have had this on other systems before.
It is installed during the ActiveSync install. If you uninstall ActiveSync the driver is left behind and will still function but corporate policy has gotten strict on unapproved installs and traces are always left behind even after uninstall.
I will look on my home device for the file and see if I can move it to my work PC and get it working.
Thanks.
Hello guys, I just got a G1 and wanted to activate my G1 without the broadband I installed the ADB on my PC (running XP Pro SP3) and it says that it doesn't found the phone. When I connected the first time windows looked for the driver so I don't know if this is the problem and I need to reinstall driver.
Thanks for your help!
You should install the driver yourself, teh driver that windows uses is to use it as a USB mass storage device. I'll see if I can find the driver you might wanna search around before people here get really mad that you didn't search.
here's the driver http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip You might also wanna check is USB Debugging is enabled.
Hi thelamacmdr, thanks a lot for you help, I dowloaded and installed but it's not working, checked on computer management - device manager and the installed driver is Android Sooner ADB testing interface but has a yellow ! and it seems not to work. Any ideas?
I'm trying to connect my device under Android and I'm having problems.
Windows 7 actually detects it and I select the right x64 drivers, but when it is installing them, the progress bar keeps going forever while it says "Installing the driver software...".
The only way to close that window is to unplug the device. Then, the driver appears to be installed, but it's not.
What up with the driver?
Have you tried modify driver from G1 post for example, I remember i used modify version.

After days of trying a lot I'm almost crazy because of this issue!
I don't know what the problem is, but I discovered that the my Polaris, when it's connected under Android, prevents the system from shutting down! I mean, if I choose to shut down my Windows 7 x64, it doesn't shut down until I disconnect my Polaris.
It happens the same when I boot my computer: it I have my Polaris connected, it doesn't boot. When I remove it, it boots as usual.
I switched the USB cable, the USB socket, and it's the same. But under Windows Mobile, it works like a charm
My Android OS is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104 (updated yesterday).
So, the problem is not the drivers, it's Android itself!
Hi
have you tried installing "PdaNet for Android" just (follow those steps)
whenever I try and install the samsung usb drivers for my S3 the installer always fails with this message: "The MSS installation for SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones V1.4.6.0 has failed."
I had the universal naked drivers installed on this PC before for my tbolt and transformer prime, but it wasn't compatible with the S3 yet. There is an updated universal naked drivers that supports the S3, but when I try and back up my IMEI and put the phone into RMNET+DM+MODEM mode, the naked drivers don't recognize my device. in the regular MTP+ADB the drivers work fine.
so I imagine I need the samsung drivers to install for this to work. does anyone have any ideas how I could get the samsung usb drivers to install properly? I've also tried the V1.5.5.0 version as well and the installer fails as well. I've removed the universal naked drivers and tried to install without it and I still get the error. same thing in windows safemode. I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
has anyone else had trouble with this? and any idea how to get the installer to work? thanks
Lots of people have been having this issue. I'm having it on XP at the moment... until now.
Per another thread I read here (for the Dell Streak, thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291293) you can force Windows to use the generic driver instead of the Samsung one.
Basically, I edited a copy of the INF to match my device info, then entered the info into the [Generic] area of the INF. I then told Windows to allow me to manually select the driver, and pointed it to this INF file. Voila... I now have generic driver support for MTP in XP SP3. I imagine the same thing might work with other versions of Windows, since I'm not really using any non-Windows drivers.

Download and install PDAnet app to your computer, this app will install the driver for you. You have to select "Samsung" during the install. Once done you can uninstall the app but the driver stay.
If PDA net doesn't work for you, go into device manager and select your phone, click on properties, advanced, and install the drivers manually.
So, I came across another way to get the drivers to load without any INF file hacking. If you simply tell Windows (XP in my case) to update the driver, then tell it you will manually point to it, you can find a suitable one in the folder C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\25_escape (after you install the MSS driver pack, of course).
Unfortunately, in my case, I use MediaMonkey to manage this, and it doesn't seem to notice the "difference" between my phone and my wife's (both SGS3s). That's their fault, though... they clearly have some bugs in there.
that's the problem... the MSS pack fails to install. I tried copying the samsung\USB Drivers folder from my desktop (which the driver install worked on) to my laptop and manually pointing to the folder, but it says it can't find a driver for it. kind of odd. I'll have to try the PDA net drivers to see if that will work. thanks for the help guys

Thanks this worked for me
Solved: Hopefully this helps someone else. I uninstalled all LG drivers from my PC. Then I connected my phone in via usb and checked my device drivers and updated them. However, rather than letting Windows find the best MTP drivers I chose to browse my computer and picked from a list on my PC. I selected the Linux drivers and everything works perfectly now,
I have a P509 running WC’s AOKP Milestone #6 but I did something stupid…while cleaning up files and programs I uninstalled my LG usb driver for my P509 and now I can’t get the PC to recognize the phone. I run W7 64 bit and it just won’t connect - not even from recovery. On another XP PC it connects no problem (it has LG driver 4.9.4 installed although I don’t recall installing it) and my laptop running W7 64 bit connects no problem either (it has LG driver 3.6 installed, but again I don’t recall installing it on the laptop either). Installing 4.9.4 or 3.6 on my problem PC doesn’t help. I keep getting an error that “MTP… whatever” failed. It’s driving me nuts. I can use the other computers if I need to but the problem PC is my main unit and more convenient to use for all my needs. Also, the phone is recognized by my work PC which has no LG drivers installed at all, nor could I if I wanted to as I don't have admin rights.
Any suggestions for my W7 PC?
Thanks,
