[Solved] 32B USB-->PC problems (ADP1 works great)

Hi all,
I'm having some strange difficulties with - what i think are - the drivers for the Magic (32B). I cannot for the life of me connect the darned device to my PC in any way (well, apart from the storage option)! My ADP1 works 100% with adb/fastboot and whatnot and i'd really like it if the Magic would as well.... Both phones run the same version CM and i use the same cables/computer every time, both phones are set up the same (USB debugging and such) and both have an engineering bootloader but the Magic will not be recognized by my computer!
I've tried all and every driver i could find incl. the drivers that came with adb and the latest drivers from HTC Sync but all fail bad (the 'Android Bootloader interface' and 'MyHTC' drivers both give me a 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)' error...).
Now, i got it all working.... once... about a month ago to root the device and all and i cant remember changing anything since then but for some reason it simply doesn't work anymore. Has anyone here had similar experiences or any insights on how to fix this?
Help would be very much appreciated!!

So nobody knows? Hrm, im still having these difficulties...

Yes, like i said in my first post everything is setup the same (USB debugging and such).
Also, if im not mistaken it wouldn't matter if i enabled this or not when trying to get the phone hooked up in fastboot mode and that doesn't work either.

So i guess its quite a unique problem im having...... sucks

Well, after some heavy duty searching/experimenting i found that it was a driver problem (windows XP's driver handling REALLY sucks)!
If anyone else is having problems, here's how i fixed it:
Disconnect phone from PC
Download USBDeview and run it
From within this program remove ALL non-Mass Storage drivers for Android and/or HTC (unlike XP this DOES actually remove em)
Reconnect phone with debugging enabled and install drivers from SDK (in my case r3 drivers)
This fixed it for me!

The 'new' SDK works different from the old one, you actually need to install a bunch of stuff....
Get the package here, and read up on how to get the drivers with this package here!

[Q] ADB no devices

Hey guys, I followed the guide, added the lines to the inf, even downloaded the other inf and coppied over it. I can not get ADB to recognize my gTablet. I even removed the mass storage driver that was associated with the tablet
I know my adb works with my mytouch slide.
Has anyone else not been able to connect adb to the gTablet?
I followed the guide exactly.
There are no errors in my device manager.
USB debugging mode is on.
I cant think of anything else to try.

Update driver
This is the steps I took, FYI I'm running Windows 7 on my computer.
Completed the the steps in the Guide (as you did). Then had to Go to Control Panel>Device Manager; and had to manually update the drivers. In Device Manager select the G Tablet>Driver>Update Driver and navigate to your usb_driver folder in your SDK.

Not sure what you are using ADB for however I have had issues with my PC retaining the driver for it as well. I use an app called ADBWireless that allows me to connect wirelessly and use ADB commands for a few simple things. It's a good workaround if your just pushing and pulling a few apps and such.

Thats what I figured I would do. I am also in Windows 7 but X64. I go to the device manager and I dont have a gTablet listed anywhere that I can find, but like I said there are no exclamation points in the device manager.. no devices that are not working.
I tried to update the "Portable Devices>f:" that shows up when I plug in the tablet but it wont let me.
So in your device manager.. there is a top level listing for "gTablet"?

Is there anything under USB drivers at the bottom for android bridge, or something along those lines? If not does it list NVIDIA Harmony drives anywhere? If neither try unplugging and plugging in your device a few times to see what dissapears when you plug it in. Reply back and we can go from there.

Found it.. it was under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and called "USB storage device" i believe.
I tried updating the driver with the andoid one, but it errored out and wouldnt load it. After that however, 2 new devices popped up.. both the Nvidia harmony drive, and another nvidia tegra one. The harmony drivers failed to load.. so I pointed at the directory in the SDK and bam it works!!
Thanks guys!
But also btw.. before I got this working, I did use ADBWireless to run the adb shell and run that camand mentioned in the main thread that is supposed to stop the slow downs.. and I think its working.

enjoy, can you point me to the post that you needed this for? Also, now that ADB works you can start making your own apps. With either Eclipse and Android SDK (more advance route, but there is alot of good books that could help you alot) or with app invnetor that just got released to the public.

[Q] adb doesn't recognize my phone

I posted this question over on Phandroids but this forum seems perhaps more appropriate. My Lenovo laptop running XP sees my phone just fine (Samsung Gravity Smart SGH-T589) and I'm able to transfer files to/from the phone. However, adb doesn't seem to be able to see it. A search about this problem turns up solution suggestions that mostly involve drivers, but my Samsung driver is up to date and clearly working (or else the phone wouldn't show up to Windows and I wouldn't be able to transfer files). My phone is rooted, which also makes it obvious that my laptop can talk to it just fine -- I used OneClick to root it last week using the same computer.
I'm using the DOS prompt (cmd) to run adb, and adb works fine. It simply doesn't see any devices. Here's an actual text transcript:
===============================
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
error: device not found
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>
===============================
Any ideas? I'm pretty new to this, so perhaps I'm missing something really simple. I hope so anyway!

Make sure that USB debuggin is enabled on your device. (This option should be changed only while device is disconnected from USB).
Also, try to restart adb server by killing it from the device manager.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had indeed already done both of those things. USB debug must be enabled to do file transfers, so I already knew it was definitely on. I still cycled it off/on anyway to make sure. And I did both kill-server and start-server commands as part of my checkout to assure myself that adb was in fact working correctly. I had Windows task manager up as well so I could watch adb disappear and reappear with those commands.

Hmmm... Try to reboot both your computer and device.
Have you tried to connect other devices to ADB? May be there is a problem with ADB installation?

Phone and laptop have both been rebooted many times. I also tried it with the phone in charge-only mode because that's what One Click Root required, but nothing changed. I also tried using all of the different USB ports on my laptop and tried two different USB cables, although that was silly because the phone is obviously talking to the laptop via USB. It shows up in file explorer, and I am able to transfer files using Windows drag and drop.
I'm afraid I have only one device, my recently rooted Samsung Gravity Smart phone, so I can't try it out on anything else.
I'm not sure how the adb installation could be at fault since the commands work as long as they don't involve the USB port. And I know that it MUST be possible to shell to the phone with what's already on this computer because One Click did it. I tried running the adb commands from the One Click Root > ADB directory just in case something about that particular install of adb was different, but I got exactly the same result.
It seems to me that I must be failing to do some setup step that an experienced Android developer might know about. I've never done anything like this before, so I wouldn't have even known about downloading the Android sdk if it weren't for forums like this! I sure appreciate the community of knowledgeable people here, who are clearly willing to help newbies like me.
If there are any software tools that anyone can suggest using to help me figure out what's going on, please let me know.
EDIT: Is there something that I need to load on my phone before adb will work? It occurs to me that OneClick might push something to the phone when it does the root, then delete it when the task is complete. I tried using QTadb, which is an adb GUI, and got the same result: no devices seen on the port even though Windows sees my phone and can talk to it via USB.

Trying to S-Off but keep running into walls.

Wow the threads make it look so easy but here are my steps so far and I'm a couple hours into S-Off but had to go through all this stuff (The basics I guess but this is my first time on android 4.4 so I was pretty lost.
1) First I found the XDA Developer link here which has a QR code to scan to download the file.
2) Realized I did not have a QR Scanner installed so I installed google goggles.
3) Scanned the code and realized it did not work and simply takes me to the xda developers forum
4) Searched for another link and found this one http://dottech.org/156395/how-to-roo...verizon-guide/ (This QR code works)
5) downloaded and installed the weaksauce exploit.
6) Decided I will backup my data on the phone before continuing .
7) Installed titanium backup
8) Was told to enable USB debugging
9) Found this can only be enabled if your phone has development mode enabled.
10) Searched for how to do that on this newest version of android and found this link. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/go...formance-mode/ which I was able to figure out the exact steps for the M* on my own.
11) In the newly unlocked developer options from the enabled USB debugging.
12) Titanium backup reminded me I do not have the paid version (but I do own a licesnse!) Need to copy the license file to the SD card.
13) Realized I don't have an external SD card installed.
14) Searched the house for a paperclip to pop out the SD card slot, no dice... Found a needle and trimmed the head off it with wire cutters, and popped out the door.
15) Installed the SD card!
16) Titanium backup says it cannot write to the external SD card (Well this is where I like to keep my backups not on the internal Card....)
So Starting from 18 how do I:
1) Use titanium backup to backup to my external SD card (No write permission). I have tried the SDFix application and that did not work. How do i get write permission to backup with titanium backup?
2) Where do I download the HTC M8 Drivers?

Ok so I guess I cannot backup the phone, lets say I will just skip the backup.
I'm trying to S-Off using the weaksauce method. I go to the folder where I downloaded firewater and type adb reboot and I get a message that my device is unauthorized..
What now?

Did you look here ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708628
Works great.

You can just use internal storage for your backup, once you get the phone s offed . Then do a backup to the external sd card. You need root access and a kernel without write protection. Take your time, it'll work.

I'm having the exact same problem. I rooted the phone thinking that's all I'd need to do. But with TiBu I can't backup to my SD card. So now I'm trying to do the S-Off so I can solve that problem. But I can't get the adb to work either.
I installed the HTC Sync Manager "package" from HTC, which allegedly comes with the driver. But, when I plug the phone into the computer it doesn't even see an adb device for my phone. I'm familiar with adb devices because I used it on my Droid Bionic.
Then I downloaded what has been nicknamed the "HTC One Toolkit M8" and installed the "Universal Adb Driver" from that. Still, no adb device is detected. Frankly, I'm laughing and disgusted with this phone. I'm laughing because someone with my prior skills with android should have no problem with this. But disgusted because this phone has been the most counter-intuitive phone I've ever owned. Just trying to disable the lock screen took almost 30 minutes.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? When I plug the phone in right now it shows up under "Portable Devices" and that's it. My Bionic would pop up 3 devices(CD-ROM, media device or something of that sort and the adb device).
I've literally spent the last hour searching with Google trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I thought it was a driver problem, but now that I'm not seeing any "unknown" devices nor am I seeing the adb device I'm convinced I've screwed this up somehow.
Yay me. I can't find my old account info, so 1 post for me.
Edit: Also, after installing the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" as well as the Android SDK, the command "adb devices" has never found my phone. LOL

Just an FYI...the tool to open the SD card slot comes with the phone. It's the metal piece with the HTC logo in the packaging that the manuals come in. You'll have to pull that part of the box apart to get it out.

It was suggested to first install htc sync manager with the drivers, then uninstall sync manager, but leave the drivers installed. Try that.

Also, if you have any other type of phone software such as pdanet installed on your computer, either uninstall it or close it before trying to run the exploit.

Yeah, I did that already. I'm convinced this isn't a driver issue since I never actually see the adb device(or an unknown device) in my device manager.

I don't. I haven't gotten that far since I haven't gotten s-off done.

Are you using a USB 2.0 port on your computer. USB 3.0 will cause problems with ADB. What operating system does your computer have on it? Windows 8 doesn't seem to get along well with ADB either. Seems to work for some, and not for others.

That just seems to me that it IS more likely a driver issue. You should see your device name or at least unknown device. Open up your device manager, then unplug your phone and replug it in. See what it shows when it refreshes. It will be under portable devices or Android USB devices or both. Mine shows both. If you still need help shoot me a PM and I can walk you through.

Windows 8 doesn't have any problems with adb. I've used it flawlessly on several computers. USB 3.0 neither. USB 3.0 can however cause problems with Firewater running correctly.

Right, you just argued why I don't think it's a driver issue. I've played with ADB before. I plug my Droid Bionic in and ADB comes right up on my desktop. On my HTPC that doesn't have the driver installed I get an unknown device.
But, with my HTC One M8, I never get any ADB device or an unknown device.. I get the HTC media device or whatever it is(mounts the storage on the desktop0, but I have *never* seen an ADB device or an unknown device from my HTC One M8... ever.
Thanks for the offer of the PM. I'm going to bed since I'm only 3 hours past my bedtime. But I'll PM you tomorrow and hopefully we can figure this out.

I don't know, I have had lots of driver issues on lots of devices and had to sort it out many times. Most notably was my Nexus 7 that thing was the hardest device to get drivers installed for, it took me hours. I've gotten pretty dang efficient at installing drivers nowadays though. I need more specific information about your set-up before I can really offer good advice though. The HTC Media Cd rom that you see pop up when you plug in is the CDROM.iso. It's just stupid HTC bloatware crap, you can disable it or delete it once you have root. When you plug it in you should see the CDROM popup on your desktop then it should mount as MTP too. You should be able to browse your internal and external storage.
One thing I would suggest though and you may think i'm crazy for it.. Swap the USB cable your using for a different one and try that on a different usb port. I've messed around trying to get drivers installed for hours, only to switch the USB cord and have it work just fine. I've even had this problem with brand new USB cords.
If you do still need help tomorrow don't hesitate to shoot me a PM, I would be glad to help.

Haha. I wont' ask. Thanks for the tip, but I am doing adb devices. It comes back and says something like "List of devices found" or something and then is blank. Of course, it works just fine on my Bionic.. haha. It's always listed.

This is going to be a silly question, but did you turn on USB Debugging in the developer options? Does the phone say USB debugging connected on the phone's notification tray?
You should either have unknown device or you should see it listed properly in device manager.
I would go through device manager and uninstall any devices related to the phone. When prompted I would also remove the drivers. Then follow the below guide.

[Q] Too dumb to even get drivers!?!

Firstly, thank you for this great forum! I've already found a lot of great info on here, and love my new phone. I was trying to get drivers on my PC to start rooting my phone, but now that I can't even do that, I'm unsure that I should even be trying to root at all. Most, if not all of the driver's links that I've found here are dead so I tried a few other methods: Plugging in the phone after selecting USB debugging. Windows searched for drivers automatically, but found none. Downloaded HTC Sync, but it doesn't recognize my phone. I'm confused because I was already able to transfer my mp3's to the SD card via usb, but otherwise it seems like my phone isn't recognized.
My HBoot is the 1.45.0013, so I take it that it can't easily be turned S-off, but I probably don't need that anyway for what I want. I simply want to be able to remove all of the bloatware, and have access to functions like CPU control. For just that, I think that rooting while S-on will be fine?
I know that this is an old phone, but I bought it because the specs are still quite good, and I was able to get it brand new on Amazon for a song...............I would hope that there are at least drivers still available for it. Thanks for any help in advance!

ADBSetup will get you the drivers you are looking for:
http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
Worked for any Android phone I tried.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot and see what happens!

Okay, I installed the driver from ADB, but still can't get HTC Sync to work...........................from reading other threads, it sounds like that's a common issue, though. Is there any way to confirm that I have the drivers installed? Under "devices and printers" on my PC, it will recognize an android phone when the phone is set to disk drive or charge only, but not USB tethering. When I switch the phone to the tethering option, the phone's icon on the PC moves from devices to unspecified. Then when I hover over it, it says there's no drivers. Again, I'm in debugging mode and have already copied MP3's to the SD, but I'd just like to confirm whether or not I have the needed drivers before starting the root process.

Easiest way to tell is open up a command prompt in the folder that adbsetup installed to (C:\ADB I think) and type:
Code:
adb devices
If all is well, then the device will be part of the listing.

Thanks Joel.............I think it worked.
The ADB command came back with:
List of devices attached
HT22_______7 device
That's not a number that I've ever seen associated with my phone, but I assume that's it.
Confirmed.................I was able to reboot the phone by ADB!

Excellent! This will also mean the fastboot commands needed to unlock your bootloader will work too.

.........one would think so, Joel, but I can't get fastboot to do anything. ADB recognizes the phone, and will reboot into bootlocker, but once there it'll do nothing. Windows pops up a message shortly after bootlocker opens that says something to the effect of "there was a problem with USB device not recognized". I tried the command "fastboot devices", but got nothing. I know that I'm darned close, and it's probably something simple, but just can't get it to work. Maybe I need additional drivers for fastboot, or need to move it to another directory?
Thanks,
~E

Interesting. Try this:
Go into fastboot mode on the device, with the USB cable plugged in. On the computer, open up device manager. What is read for Android Device? Is there a noted problem with the driver? Open the properties for that device, and select Update Driver. The search process should find something appropriate now (as ADB Setup saves the drivers in the system32 folder - I think).
If not, what kind of user did you run ADBsetup as? If it was one without admin privileges, try installing again as admin (this allows the drivers to be saved where you want them to be).
If there are still problems, unfortunately I cannot think of anything else.

I'm almost sure that the problem lies with the drivers now, but just don't know how to fix it!?! In device manager the phone moves into different categories, depending on the connection type; Charge only, and disk drive both work fine, but the icon for tethering shows no drivers installed. After rebooting into bootlocker the phone automatically switches to tethering, so I assume that's needed for getting root. I can't install drivers when the phone's in tethering from device manager, with either auto or manual. It just won't take! I've tried re-installing HTC sync, removing and re-installing multiple driver files, and the phone's just not being recognized. The sync instructions say that it should be a connection option on the phone also, but I've only ever seen the three: charge, disk, and tether. As for user, I'm pretty sure that I did install ADB as admin...............not sure how to check for that now, but the drivers are not in system32 like you mentioned; they're in program files (x86). Maybe the location of the drivers is the only problem I'm having, but I don't know where I want them to be? I hate quitters, but soon I'll just be enjoying the stock ROM for the best of it, if these problems persist!
Thanks,

Dont know where you got your HTC drivers, but you should try the ones in this post (step one - hopefully its still live - if not I can dropbox it for you):

You're awesome, Joel!
That is the thread that I've been using predominantly, but I found that link to the drivers dead. I sourced them elsewhere, but couldn't really say where exactly since I've tried so many now. If you could dropbox for me, I'd really appreciate it.

Uh-oh. Either the link was dead when I went through this process back in April, or I had bad organizing skills at one point and didn't put the file in the Doubleshot folder before completing a purge. Either way, I don;t have the file.
Nor did I really need it. The second Doubleshot I rooted I ended up using it in my native Linux environment (no drivers needed), vs my Windows XP emulated through VirtualBox. That's what you could do. Get a live Debian DVD (Im like the XFCE desktop version), boot in, get fastboot:
Code:
sudo apt-get install fastboot
And then use fastboot:
Code:
sudo fastboot ...

Thanks for the link and instructions; I'll probably not be able to try this for a couple of days now................just super busy, but I'll let you know how it went (or, more likely, have questions)! Any linux stuff is completely foreign to me, but it looks fairly straightforward. One question about the link that you provided, though: It looks like an index of a lot of individual files that I'd need. Under the parent directory, the folder named "iso-hybrid/ " is what I want, correct? I do really appreciate your time and help, Joel.....with as many dead links and outdated drivers that I've found, I don't think I could've got root otherwise!

Just need the one. My recommended file to download is this:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd...ybrid/debian-live-7.6.0-i386-xfce-desktop.iso
Burn the image (not the file) onto a DVD (can be a rewritable) and reboot with the disc in the drive. Once it's fully loaded, you can either enter commands by clicking on the "terminal" icon on the bottom of the screen (preferred), or press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to get a prompt (may have to log in as "user", there shouldn't be a password). Hope this helps.
