No driver for my Nexus S 4G, please help

Hi,
I have tried PDAnet to install driver for my phone. When it got to where it asked me to plug in my phone, i plugged in nothing happen so i had to click on cancel. Then i installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones. After it was installed i went to Devices and My phone showed as Unknown Device. i went in to update driver and there was not ADB device in the selection for me to choose. Please help... thanks..

what OS are you using
the most up to date win7 finds it pretty accurately. If not your BEST bet that i have found is use those sammy drivers, THEN install google android SDK/corresponding JAVA. It sounds like alot but you will get alot more as you fiddle with your phone down the line.
When you get the sdk and java sdk installed you can download googles USB drivers through the sdk list and then you should be able to find the ADB device listing IF your computer doesnt find your phone automatically after that.
Ive done this alot now and have had a different config almost every time.
XP has ALWAYS needed the sdk's to work for me.

I have windows 7 home. I have not update my windows 7 at all. I already got SDK and JDK installed. I checked the google USB driver when i was at the list of things to package to download.

are you letting window just give you the list of drivers or are you browsing for the adb one? windows will initially give you a list of like 20 drivers, then you select "let me pick" or something like that and you go through the list of like 1000 instead.
if your on 7 and have everything installed then maybe you have a bad cable. do you get anything that even loks like your computer is trying to install yoru phone.

It was the cable. Last night i went to Sprint and bought their 20 dollar cable and everything was fixed. Drivers were installed with PDAnet and i already rooted the phone , unlocked bootloader, put on CWR and installed CM9 Thank you for your help.

Doesn't work it says windows can't find driver

Im struggling here the only thing keeping me form fun is some stupid usb drivers nothing wants to work at all.
Phone will mount when on, but when in fastboot mode it makes a dudududu sound and under deivces it says android 1.0 and when i try to update the driver it cant be found online, and when i have the actual driver on computer it still says windows cant find the driver.

Download the adb drivers attached below
Google search for: Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0.msi
Install the Samsung "Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0.msi" drivers and then reboot.
Then plug in your NS4G and let it do it's thing. It will say that it needs a driver. Select no and advanced.
Then go to where you saved the attached file drivers and in the root select it and let is load the Android ADB drivers.
Then reboot.
Then in your device manager you'll see the Android ADB device with a yellow triangle.
Right click and update driver.
Then select the bottom choice so that you can look at all drivers and in the list is the Android ADB.
Select it and next to update the drivers.
Then reboot and you should be good to go.
It took me several hours to figure this out and I used every other method I could find and they did not work, but this did.
This is on Windows XP Pro SP3
If this helps, please hit Thanks!!!

Windows 8 HTC drivers ADB

I have scoured the internet and xda and have not found a solution. I am trying to unlock my bootloader, so I can install ROMs and whatnot, on my HTC One S. However, the device is not recognized by adb, even though the normal drivers are installed through HTC sync. I cannot install any additional driver through any other way.
Basically, I just need to know if anyone has a solution to getting the HTC One S to recognize with adb on Windows 8, or any alternate way to get a token.
I have done this many times before on windows 7, and even used adb for other devices on Windows 8, but cannot get the One S to read.
..and unfortunately my Windows 7 machine is in need of repair.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Adb still worked after I went from 7 to 8. Uninstall drivers and install android sdk which has required drivers. I've never used HTC sync due to its suckness. You can also google the download for just the drivers without any extra software. There are multiple devices that have adb drivers for download here on xda aswell.
Good hunting
But as far as driver compatibility nothing has changed since the update
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

the drivers wont work until htc/Microsoft updates them. doesn't work on my windows 8 pro, I had to installed a virtual machine to get it to work with windows 7.

Definitely nofun that the htc drivers seem to be the big issues. Whendid not have trouble with the kindle orsamsung. Did update as much through the sdk, and tried manually installing the win 7 drivers, and more andno luck. So guess Ill be waiting.

Works for me on windows 8 pro....don't know what you are talking about

Thats good to hear that there is a way to get it working. What drivers did you install?

Are you looking for a driver that will work for when you are in bootloader? I used a Samsung driver and it worked fine.

Did this allow detect in adb? not just for windows recognizing the device?

Ive come to find that adb will recognize the device, but not in fastboot mode. Which is the killer, cause thats the only mode I really need it to be recognized in.

I use both ADB and Fastboot on my W8, and never had a problem. Worst case scenario, if you install the drivers but you still have an exclamation mark next to the device in device manager, try and install the Android USB drivers on a W7 machine and copy the files on your W8. Then go to device manager and update the driver, and point to the folder you just copied. This should do.

I've found in some pages that HTC has already uploaded their HTC Sync and that is now compatible with Windows 8. However, still not working for me in 8 Pro.

I've uploaded from W7 to W8 pro and my now I'm not able to find a driver that fits my computer. It's a very strange situation.

I have tried pretty much everything lol, its not worth it if you are installing a RUU then windows 8 suddenly stopped detecting your phone then you have a brick. I would just wait till htc releases drivers for windows 8. or installed windows 7 through VMware, like I did.

Just have the device for 1 day and had some issues. Is there any working solution for this? I've spend some time searching and reading, I tried alot of drivers (HTC, from android-sdk and so on)...with all the same issue. Windows 8 recognizes the device as My HTC BUT...adb doesn't. When issuing "adb devices" command, returned list is blank.
Finally I've installed recovery and unlocked on a Windows 7 machine but I don't want to do that each time I flash a ROM (and I flash alot).
Also short question... I didn't saw anywhere clearly stated but from what I've read, I understood there's no S-Off for One S right? I'm comming from Desire S and everything there was flawless.

It is working on my Windows 8 Pro without an issue. I installed the driver which comes together with the android sdk.
1. Open device manager
2. Select the android device with yellow sign
3. right click and select "Update Driver Software ..."
4. select browse my computer for driver software
5. select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
6. select have disc and browse for the "android_winusb.inf" in the android sdk folder
7. select Android ADB Interface and press next
8. select yes, ...
-> adb driver is installed and device should now work with adb.
Best regards,

I found my computer recognized my device if u do this, power down ur device than restart ur computer while booting up plug in ur device and sometimes it recognizes it but not always staying connected

I have Windows 8 Pro Media Center, install drive from htc sync manager from htc site, flashing fastboot, oem lock, etc seem to work in cmd. But odd was if i do adb devices, it just say something like "list device" i don't see my device number.. or i should use fastboot devices instead

[TUTORIAL][ADB][WINDOWS 8]Connect HTC explorer to windows 8 and use adb

Hello friends,
This is my first tutorial on this forum and wishing to help my buddies overcome a simple issue I've been facing for many days after coming to windows 8... I am a regular Android App developer and when i started using Windows 8, I observed that the default adb interface couldnt detect my phone.
After a lot of searching here and there, I realized, that there is something missing. So here comes the way to connect our baby droid to the all new windows 8 -
THINGS YOU NEED -
HTC Sync latest 3.21.1
ADT - you can download this from android site.
and this file
NOW HERE COMES THE PROCESS -
1. Download and install HTC sync.
2. Unzip the ADT and add the platform tools folder to your environment path
3. Unzip the file downloaded from link above. Basically its the google usb driver.
4. Now go to device manager and see your phone should be listed as an unknown device.
5. Now find "Android Phone" with a yellow error sign in front. It will be expanded by default.
6. Right click on it and select update driver.
7. Select browse my computer.
8. Link to the folder where you extracted the google usb drivers in step 3. Check the subfolder.
9. Click next. It'll display a warning. Select Install anyway.
10. Completed.
11. You may now download SDK and ADB.
Hope this would be helpful in someway or other.... :highfive::highfive::good:

Is it necessary?
Do we really need HTC sync if we are on a custom rom?

Idea of htc sync is to have htc drivers, it is even recommended to stop htc sync when doing something with adb

Yes htc sync is not needed, but sometimes I see that if my phone is not being detected on adb and i turn on htc sync and keep it aside, my phone gets detected. So I am also a bit confused if this is at all needed or not...

just update htc sync (in case if it is not ) cuz i did the same and my phone got detected in windows 8

[DRIVER] HTC Driver 4.2.0.001 (2013-04-26)

NOTE: This is an older version of the driver, a newer version is available here.
This was pulled directly from the HTC Sync Manager 2.0.61.0 installer.
HTCDriver.exe.part1.rar and HTCDriver.exe.part2.rar are the executable driver installer. The other files are the drivers for the individual platforms.
Note: The last zip is labeled Win2k, but I suspect it is also intended for use with Windows XP.
Note 2: An earlier version of the Windows 7 driver was reported to work with Windows 8, so I suspect that is also the case with this version.
NOTE: This is an older version of the driver, a newer version is available here.

I never seem to see the driver in HTC Sync Manager temp folder, I only see the driver in HTC Sync temp folder which contains HTCDriver_4.0.1.001_20121107.exe which hasn't been updated.

Like the HTC Sync installer, the HTC Sync Manager installer creates temporary folders for the individual components as it installs them, but, unlike the Sync installer, there is no pause after installing the "prerequisite" components before deleting all of the individual installers and starting the Sync Manager install. Also unlike the Sync installer, it there will be a second temporary folder containing "HTC Sync Manager.msi" and other files. This is not the folder where the other components will be extracted.
The trick is to wait until the Sync Manager installer says "Installing HTC Driver Installer" and click Cancel, but don't actually cancel the installation. Just leave it at the "Are you sure...?" dialog. This isn't absolutely necessary, but it will give you time to sift through the %TEMP% folder to find the installer. Also, be sure that you uninstall HTC Driver Installer, if it is already installed, before starting the HTC Sync Manager installer, or this step won't happen, and the HTC Driver installer won't be extracted to a temporary folder during setup. Simply uninstalling HTC Sync Manager will not uninstall HTC Driver Installer.
Also note that the HTC Driver installer will be running during this time, so there will also be a temp folder with HTCDriver.msi and other files. This is not the folder where HTCDriver.exe will be extracted.

This just unbrick my phone....
Am so happy,
Thanks thanks thanks

Any new drivers in latest HTC Sync Manager? setup_2.1.55.0_htc.exe

Thanks for this, the Windows 7 x64 worked perfect. :good:

Ive never had a problem on my previous 2 computers running Win7 but now Ive upgraded to Win8 x64. Since then adb.exe window opens and closes. I can see my phone in the device manager whether Im in the bootloader or fully booted up. Ive followed a few guides to install sdk, jdk, adb but still not able to get adb to fully work. Installed the Win7 x64 usb drivers and google USB drivers manually thru the device manager and they are are all up to date. Ive moved the file folders for everything to the c:\program files directory before I started opening everything up and installing. Ive looked thru other forums for Win8 adb problems and followed those guides and looked on Youtube and done a search on XDA. Most are all the same but I tried them as well.
Im really out of options regarding this problem. Asking for help now. Thanks

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, there is a new version of the driver, at least in the 2.4.11.0 installer. You can find it here.

[Q]Windows won't recognize Oneplus One

Hey,
Question is simple, Windows 8.1 won't recognize my Oneplus One. What should I do?
Thanks

Download the proper drivers, on my windows 7 box I used the ones from the SDK, on windows 8.1 I don't have the SDK on it so I just used the universal naked drivers, a quick search will find you the right ones

Maybe you can post links? I've searched put I haven't found "working" ones

I'm on mobile so its kind of a pain, but here is search result which you can easily do the same

try doors, they might recognize oneplus

+1 to this I use Universal Naked Drivers and they work great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956
Follow the instructions on how to install it on Windows 8.1 make sure its 0.73 and not 0.72

download, install, and update the android sdk.
open your devmgmt.msc with administrator rights (device manager)
select your device under the device manager
right click, update driver; and choose the usb driver under google. i chose adb composite interface, i think.
there are some variations to this theme, but it's all pretty close to the same.

Download android SDK package. Standard android drivers are included

Ok...i had this issue when trying to root my OPO. To solve this, I used Samsung drivers instead of google drivers.
