http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-nexus-s-windows-usb-drivers/
It's not working for me, don't know what I'm doing wrong. The SDK route didn't work either. My computer keeps saying I have the most up to date drivers but still won't recognize my phone. Shows as "unknown device". I'm running Win 7 Professional 64 bit. Any ideas?

Doesn't seem like too many people are having this problem. Is it just a simple fix that a newb like me is just overlooking?

Computer Can't Detect my HTC Fuze

I have a windows vista 64 bit. and I've installed WMDC and my computer just won't recognize the device. It sure see's it, but it says that its an "unknown device" and then nothing happens. Any solutions?
is there a chance that your x64 Vista doesn't have all drivers? try using windows update.
if this didn't work, i'd back everything up on my device, go to Start/Control Panel/Device Manager and delete whatever it identified. restart your PC and hard-reset your fuze and try again.
oh and by the way, If i were you, i'd use Windows 7 Build 7077 instead of Vista x64

I tried everything listed above, still nothing, I can't believe two Windows based operating systems can't just hook up without problems. Why is this happening?
I have the same problem with my diamond. Just not possible to sync, so I have to use bluetooth.
It sucks though, I didn't get Bluetooth for this computer thinking I wouldn't need it. So I avoided the extra charge, but now it's coming back to bite me. But technically I still shouldn't need it if this thing would work.
Is there some sort of bluetooth adapter I can get so I can actually use bluetooth with my laptop? Or does it have to be built in?
If a ROM is replcaed and an OS is replaced, and it stil doesn't work, I would only guess it's a hardware problem.. which seems kinda odd.
I had this problem too. I found out that it was actually the USB Cable that was faulty. If you have another device with mini USB that you can try and see if the same result happens with the same USB cable.
The USB change actually worked, but it didn't sync, it opened as a mass storage device, and the WMDC didn't see it...

Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter Driver ERROR

Hi All,
I'm running Windows 7
1. Suddenly my Windows Mobile Device Center Failed to recognize my phone and connect to sync. After some troubleshooting I realized the "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter Driver" Failed to work correctly Saying "This device cannot Start (Code 10).
I uninstalled the driver in the Device Manager and attempted to Search for the Driver again after a Restart, my phone was again found while attempting to Sync but once again during Driver installation it failed and gave the Exclamation Mark stating an issue and sure enough it is the Code 10 error again.
2. This exact same issue happens when attempting to Tether to use the Phone as an Internet Modem. The Network Adapter driver to Tether is "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" and it also doesn't install fine anymore. So no Tethering for me via USB.
Now, all the above happened suddenly while using the Internet Tethering with no issues. It simply disconnected and then that was the end of that.
Let me tell you to what Extent I went to try to get this to work. I re-formated my hard drive and re-installed Windows 7. And NOPE it didn't work. Windows Mobile Device Center is properly installed and that is when all the drivers are provided, during the WMDC installation. Once WMDC was installed, my phone was found, the Activsync feature and the Internet Modem feature, and the driver installation attempt happened, The correct drivers were found, but they just weren't Installed successfully as explained above. I'm currently browsing the internet using the Bluetooth PAN Internet Sharing, which works wonderfully with no issues.
But I really need to get the above two items working again, otherwise I can no longer connect my phone via activesync or better said WMDC for Windows 7 to Flash a New ROM.
Now so that nobody thinks it's a problem with my phone, I have three other computers where I can connect via WMDC and Tether via USB with no issues. But I'm having trouble with my Dell Inspiron 9300 which gave me no issues for Months until now.
I considered myself very computer savvy but at this point I'm really stuck!
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Raudel

The Windows Mobile Device Center that gets Installed is the one with Windows Update. So it must be the correct one with the Win 7 Drivers.
Thank you for your reply.
Any other ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

i have the same problem with win7 and HTC touch2
i cannot solve the problem with HTC touch GSM everything is OK
any Help !!!!
I'm also getting this problem. It just began after a hardware upgrade. Microsoft remote adaptor cannot start. I have tried re-installing device centre numerous times and i cannot get device center to recognise my phone.
It works fine in disk drive mode however.
Edited to add that my device is recognised fine on other machines. So it is an issue with my PC. Interestingly my wireless usb adaptor won't work either.
I had a similar problem, found a solution online. There were some issues with Intel P55 chipset, it sync up immediately after BIOS update and reboot.
Hope this makes your day, best of luck.

Sprint Touch Pro2 WMDC connection issue

Hello Gurus,
I'm having tough time. I'm unable to connect my htc pro2 w/ WMDC on Windows 7 Ultimate version (32-bit).
I clean installed everything (Windows 7, WMDC multiple times). Tried unchecking USB-PC Connection/'enable faster connection' on phone but of no use.
Please help.
Please help/
Does anyone how to resolve syncing problem? WMDC can not see my device and device manager shows 'unknown device'.
anybody, plz help
I'm not able to connect my pro2 to pc using usb cable. Device driver is not installed corectly.
try using a different USB port, i cant use the front port on my work computer (same things you described, the driver wont install) but it works fine with the rear port, it may not be getting enough power from the front port
also, there is a setting to disable charging from a PC via USB, this might help as well (ive never tried it though)
It did not work.
I tried both things as suggested by you, it did not work. It shows that driver is not installed correctly 'unknown device'.

I resolved the issue by uninstalling the drivers that are marked as suspect. Then connect phone to pc and it will look for the drivers and install them again. It is only a temp fix because it will happen again but MS is working on a hotfix to resolve the issue. Since doing this I have had no issues syncing at all. You can also sync by bluetooth if you have bluetooth installed on your desktop or laptop. Just choose active sync or file explorer if all you are doing is moving files. Hope this helps you
The fix is this:
On your smartphone, in the USB to PC settings, uncheck the setting "Enable faster data syncronization"
Press okay.

[Q] HD7 USB connection problem

Hey guys, hopefully this is a place I can post my problem. Had a bit of a search and couldn't find anything that helped me so creating my own thread.
Got my HD7 yesterday so I'm a new user but when I plugged my HD7 in my W7 PC it doesn't work and says "USB Device Not Recognised". I tried going into device manager and it says it is an 'Unknown Device' I have uninstalled the drivers and installed them again, nothing has helped so far. I have got it to work once that the pc recognises the device but then zune never had a connection but then I have never been able to do that again.
I have Zune installed and up to date.
I have tried every slot on my PC mobo.
I just don't know what to do and what is wrong.
Only thing I have come to is that the USB cable is faulty have to wait a few days for a new one to come.
If that has same problem I am guessing its the phone.
All I want to know is if anyone has any other ideas I could try?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.
Same Problem
I,m having d same issue.
Zune is not doing d USB connection magic to my HD7

USB Tethering not working at all.

So I am trying to USB tether right? but, for some reason it won't even setup a connection and when I enabled Dedug mode for USB that seemed to get it working. Honestly I don't want to do it that way. I pay for my tethering plan unlike most people on here with T-Mobile.
What I am trying to say is that out the box USB tethering does not work.
Now with Debug enabled I can do it, but when debug is enabled my damn Win 8.1 64 bit flips out! Seriously I don't know what the hell this damn phone is doing to my computer but it forces my CPU to go up to 100% usage!!
I have a 2500 $ laptop bought this year and its a Sager. This laptop has never had an issue until I tried to USB tether while on debug mode...
I need to know how I can just tether this stupid thing to my laptop without using debug OR other apps. I wanna go 100% legit for once! Use every thing how its meant to be used!
Please help!
Is this some kind a joke fellas? NO ONE has seen their computer or laptop flip out when this Nexus 5 starts tethering? Guys this is a major issue that forces my computer to slow speeds once the tether is activated. When the connection is severed my computer works like normal... I was doing tethering on my laptop with a Photon 4G phone and never once seen this issue... I wonder if it has to do with using the infrastructure of the Nexus 5 vs using something like PDAnet or something. Which I can use because I bought it. Easytether sucks though... Well sometimes it sucks.

I've tethered a bunch on Windows 7 tho. Never had a hitch problem. Don't know what to tell you.
I just ran into this exact same problem. WiFi tethering seems to work fine, but enabling USB tethering slow my PC to a crawl. Task Manager is particularly slow to respond while USB tethering is enabled. I've tested with two PCs, and have gotten the same results.

Usually a driver problem bud.

Well then is anyone able to point me toward the correct drivers? The ones that get installed automatically have caused this problem for me now on three different machines, two running Windows 7, and one running Windows 8. The tether works, insofar as I can get online and view websites, but the system slows to the point of unusability at the same time.

I'm not trying to make ADB or fastboot work. They work fine with no issues. As does MTP. I have trouble when USB tethering is enabled, exclusively.

Neither the drivers linked, nor the Google drivers as provided in the Android SDK, are the correct driver for the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" that appears when using USB tethering. If the answer to the problem is "we don't know, use WiFi tethering instead" then so be it, I'll make do. It would be nice if even one person could come in here and say "I have a Nexus 5 and USB tethering works fine" though, since if this is indeed a "driver issue" there must be someone out there who has this working fine.

Sorry to raise a thread, but I am having the same issue as the OP with a Nexus 5 and Windows 8.1. Thethering on USB causes the machine to slow, CPU to spike, although the internet connection is established. Has anyone found any fix? I have tried resetting the device, using it on another machine and it still has the same issue.
As soon as the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device is listed in Device Manager, my machine spikes. Have tried uninstalling the driver and letting in re-install as well. Driver for the NDIS piece is from Microsoft. Can't find anything else.
Thanks!
i have the same issue, always have done and the only solution i found was just to use wifi tethering. tried changing drivers but nothing has worked.
i have this issue on a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition P605 uses the Remote NDIS driver like the nexus 5 wifi teathering perfectly fine USB Teathering is bad the driver will dropout or if i unplug the tablet from the computer it will either speed back up or act as if it is still connected.... when rebooting it will not reboot if i have unplugged it and it still thinks its connected but if i dont unplug it and reboot it will blue screen with a usb bugcode or something like that....
ps sorry for posting to this post even though my issue is with a SGN10.1 2014
Had anybody figured out a fix for this crazy issue? I've been trying to fix this for a while now but nothing seems to working!

Same problem here.
I can also use ADB shell with the drivers but when I enable USB Tethering the computer starts to slow down and CPU to 100%
(Using OnePlus btw)
Thanks!
I have the same problems. Was anyone able to solve the problem?

I was able to solve the problem by changing the driver of the device. In case anyone is interested, here are the steps
Plug the phone to the USB and enable USB tethering
Go to Device Manager. Under Network Adapters a "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" should be listed. Right click on it and click on Update Driver... > Search on the computer > Choose manually from a list....
Here, uncheck Show compatible hardware, then go to Microsoft and search for "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" on the right. Click next and Yes in the warning message that appears. Now the computer should behave normally.
Thanks buzz. Worked for my Nexus 5x
