Drivers on Windows 8 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I had the HTC drivers installed before on my laptop, and that worked. But now since I have to use my desktop, which has windows 8 installed, I can't install the drivers. Does anyone know how to fix this? Otherwise I'm stuck

Im pretty sure the Drivers are unsigned. And thats why you cant install. I cant remember for the life of me if I had to do that so...
When you boot up.. Hit Shift+F8 and you should get the option to allow you to install unsigned drivers.
"1 In Windows 8 Developer Preview, the F8 experience has been reworked. Hit Shift-F8 instead.2"

Edit: I was able to get to that menu another way and disabled signature enforcement. But now when I click on the exe file to start the driver installation nothing happens

And im running Consumer Preview.

Can you please go through all the steps you did to get drivers up and running and have adb work? Maybe it's just cause I'm so used to Samsung but I can't figure it out

Wl if others are able to use windows 8 I should be able to too. I don't want to go through that if I don't have to

Personally... I dont remember fully how I managed it. It was at the beginning of the month when I first got the One X. Its possible, for sure. I believe I got PDAnet too somewhere to make it work.

Device Manager is Your Friend
I got it to work by disabling signature enforcement and then manually installing the drivers in device manager.
You have to find the .inf files in the installation directory, and manually select and approve them for each unrecognized device in device manager. You can't let it search for drivers, you have pick "I've got my own, and they're over here."

I tried using pdanet before because that's what worked with my galaxy s. So I uninstalled it and redid the process but it wouldn't recognize the device and quit

I remember vaguely going into device manager and doing that ^ So.. follow his instructions?

There weren't any unidentified devices so that didn't work for me. However I got it to work by allowing installation of unsigned drivers and manually updated the driver with this universal android driver. I forgot exactly what it's called. I can give a link for anyone else with issues

Adb works fine HTC sync doesn't

I tried installing the driver package binary on my Win8 laptop last night and it refused to work. mitchell985 linked to the INF files you can use to install manually through Device Manager and then use adb with. I got my files from another source, but his should work, too. Like he said, no HTC Sync.

Thanks! This works like a charm!

-Download unrEVOked driver (Unsigned driver)
-I'm not able to post the link, due to XDA regulations for new users...
-Google "unrEVOked driver htc usb" and go to the second link (androidforums.com)
-Click on "unrEVOked modified USB Driver"
-Unzip
-Open Device Manager and rightclick on "Android phone", "HTC ..." etc.
- "Update Driver Software"
-"Browse from computer"
-"Let me pick"...
-"Have disk"
-"Browse" to the unzipped folder and select "android_winusb"
-Click "Install", and make sure you install the drivers (You properly get a warning)
-If no yellow exclamation marks appears on the device icon in Device Manager... You are good to go :good:

Try going to device manager and under other devices, there should be android 1.0. You might have to have HTC Manager installed for this to show up. Go to properties for the device and update driver, select browse my comp.. then let me pick from a list, there you should find my HTC
That should work, it did for me. I was able to use fastboot adb, the whole show after.

Easiest way is to install the drivers on a Windows 7 device, then go to Program Files > HTC and copy the drivers folder from there.
Then use these files to install on Windows 8 manually through device manager. Works for me.

Does anybody know if I already have the drivers installed on Win 7, then I upgrade my computer to Win 8, will the drivers still be there?

[GUIDE] How to change the Sprint banner using CDMA workshop

What to change the Sprint banner to something else?
Well here is how.
This is a rough guide, maybe I'll get ambitious and spruce it up when I have some more time...
Install HTC Sync if you haven't already..
Get it here.

Gonna need the HTC Diag drivers, least I did... these work fine:
http://rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip x86 32bit
Here are the /64 bit drivers thanks to techwerkz
http://www.techwerkz.com/evo/HTCDiagDrivers.zip
[highlight]Mod edit: No linking to warez site or suggesting users to get warez is allowed[/highlight]
Enter DIAG mode, dial ##diag#, let windows install the drivers...most likely it won't find the HTC DIAG drivers, but they are in the link above... get it installed.
Now in CDMA workshop, you really don't want to be effin' with stuff you aren't sure what it is... but we are here to change the banner right? riight so don't be changing anything else and you'll be a-ok.
Select your port, hit connect, hit read... goto the NAM tab...hit Read ...change the Banner from "Sprint" to whatever..hit "Write".... then you can reboot the phone and its done.
To find your port...

The com port you are using is not the one the phone is using. Go into Device manager and see what port it is running on. The demo version will not allow above port 6 so you may have to change the port.

Looks good. My 64bit w7 gave me a hard time, it wouldn't install the drivers correctly so I wasn't able to do it last night. I was however, successful when I used my work's xp this morning so it works now.

I have the same issue as well on my Windows 7 x64. Looks like a bug in the installer from HTC. We should let them know its Jacked!. lol
Got it!! For all those with win7 64bit, I have attached the appropriate driver to get the HTC Diag working. Verified this on my machine and installed no problems.

Didn't work for me. Windows 7 64 bit.
Edit: It does work on Windows 7 x64. The 64 bit drivers will not be recognized or installed by the Windows 7 automatically. You must force the installation of the drivers by choosing the "Browse" option then "Let Me Pick" option then the "Have Disk" option.
Thanks, that's awesome. I got it working no problem, just followed your instructions
I was sad though, it only lets you put up 12 characters I was going to put up Mistersquirrle but I had to truncate it to Mistrsquirrl. Still great though, thanks
good stuff guys
I did NOT have to install HTC Sync... maybe because I already have the driver installed for adb to work.
But yeah, just had to install the DIAG driver and it worked (Win7 x32)

[Drivers][APP] LG Mobile Support Tool / Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver for LGP999DW G2x

Thought I would make a one stop shop for driver support.
These are all the drivers you need to support and mod your T-Mobile G2x Phone in Windows x64 and x386 based O/S.

This app is for future upgrades and will also give you the option to install the current driver suite to support the phone in windows. The current LG Driver installer floating around is missing like 3 drivers. This app will get them all in.
*** This Does not include the Nvidia NvFlash Drivers*** (See below to get those.)
It's an easy method of installing the drivers needed for root, SD access for windows, modem , serial, etc... And will keep your drivers updated as well as your phone as updates are available.
Instructions:
Download and extract the installer.
Install the app.
Plug the phone in to the USB cable to the computer.
Launch app and click on install drivers. This will install the latest LG drivers.

Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver[/SIZE][/B]
Unlike a lot of Android phones out there the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset require additional drivers in Windows to support low level flashing.
Install Instructions for Nvidia NvFlash APX Windows Driver
(Windows x86 and x64 O/S Drivers):
****If you are running VmWare kill it.****
Remove the battery.
Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
Hold Vol Up/Down keeping them held down.
Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
Right click on the APX device.
Select 'Update driver software'.
Select 'Browse my computer...'.
Select 'Let me pick...'.
Select 'Have disk'.
Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: \"Nvidia APX Windows Drivers".
Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC (User Account Control)).
Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.

It's supposed to upgrade the firmware if an upgrade is available. Right now the latest firmware is V10f. So it won't do anything coz your phone has that firmware already. So as the OP said, this is for FUTURE upgrades.
So I'm an idiot and held down the power up/vol down button.... Back to a new install.... Damnit!
worked like a charm, thanks a lot for this sir.
my g2x improved?
I used this tool and after it updated my drivers for pc i think and i then rebooted my phone seems smoother and seems to look a little better (color). weird, maybe i'm mistaken but i don't care!
I got a Dot Net exception on XP:
Code:
The action that failed was:
LinkDemand
The type of the first permission that failed was:
System.Security.PermissionSet
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
Intranet
Config: XP inside VirtualBox w/ APX having a USB Device Filter
Cause: This was caused by my trying to run it from a fileshare.
Fix: when I copied the files to the machine's desktop it worked as expected
Thanks for your hard work, cheers,
-G
P.S. should also mention:
You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you CAN just pull the USB cord or be safe and just wait a few extra minutes, however it will still say "upgrading."

What does the original post say? It's all in there. Please read it.
If we already did this with your recovery tool are the drivers supposed to stick? Or are the drivers only recognized when pulling the battery and holding vol up/down? Reason I ask because I flashed the recovery with your tool and was just double checking this thread and noticed that under USB devices I no longer had the nividia drivers in there (this is with phone battery not pulled just plugged in to usb debugging). Thanks

EDIT: USB Debugging is enabled, I enabled it before plugging it in.
UPDATE: It's still not giving root access, I updated my sdk tools after this error still nothing
Enable USB debugging.

Make sure you have debugging enabled on your phone.
Sorry I forgot to add the fact usb debugging is enabled.
EDIT: nevermind... re-read your post again.
For some reason sometimes you need to enable debugging before you plug it in.
How long does the rooting process take from where it says "PUSH FILES"? It just seems to sit there for a few mins on my end.
For me it took like 5 min I wan say maybe les, just make sure u guys read everything and don't skip any steps.
So does this work for the at&t? Has anyone tried it?

Your drivers aren't talking to adb. I had an issue yesterday, couldn't install the drivers to save my life. Installed SDK tools, still no go. Everytime I tried to root I got the same error as you.
Try this: Do all of the steps again.
This time, Kill the ADB process tree.
Now, hit the root file again. That may work. Some users are saying that adb won't work for them until they do this.
I've had similar problems on my atrix before. If I remember correctly, it seemed to help when I extracted root files to my desktop.

No cigar, was there 2 adb.exe processes running for you? At first one took me to htc sync so I uninstall sync. When I tried again killing one the other would just keep the CP open.

[Q] ADB not recognizing phone on USB when its booted android, fine in recovery

Hey everyone, basically just what the title says. I plug it into the computer via USB, and ADB will not see the device when it's booted into Android. However when I boot it into recovery, it sees it fine.
I'm running Cyanogen 9 for a rom and TWRP for recovery.
Booted into android:
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
Booted into recovery:
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
b3fe68e1 recovery
I've tried installing drivers, deleting drivers, reinstalling drivers, rebooting, countless times now. Samsung's own software Kies won't even recognize the phone.
I am able to use ADB over wifi with ADB Wireless.
C:\Users\Michael>adb devices
List of devices attached
10.0.0.99:5555 device
Oh, and I can turn on USB Storage and access the filesystem with no problems.. so that works fine.
Am I going crazy or has someone else had this same problem? Thanks everyone.
Sorry for the silly question but have you enabled it in settings? That may or may not help you:thumbup:

I should have posted that in my original thread.. but yes I have it enabled. I tried having ADB over network enabled just to see if it would help.. but it did't.
Is "USB Debugging" in the phone (inside Android) checked ? check this option and see..
PS:sorry if it is enabled ... ROM problem ? did adb work on stock ROM ?
Yep it is enabled. It did not work with the stock rom either and the only reason I know that is because my wife just got the same phone yesterday and I noticed it wasn't working while trying to root it.
Start all over again ...
Uninstall all drivers for the device and kies..
Install adb and USB driver for the phone and try again ...
You seem to have a software problem (a driver issue) somewhere around your PC (are you on Mac or Windows ?)

try on another comp and c what happens, 2 phones cant be both screwed up so it must b comp
Yeah I agree it must be something to do with Windows. I will try installing the drivers and such on a computer at work on Monday and see what gives.
In the mean time I uninstalled everything and rebooted. Then I downloaded the drivers from Samsung's website, from here:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...27_GS_II_Skyrocket_USB_Driver_v1_3_2200_0.exe
I also read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415051
and the #2 article points to: ATT_i777_GS2_USB_Drivers.zip
So I tried installing that too. Still nothing.
I took a couple screenshots during the process, maybe it will raise a red flag to one of you guys because I certainly can't figure this out.
When I plug in my phone, the "Android" device is what comes and goes. I've tried updating the drivers for that and pointing them to the Samsung drivers directory, just says it can't find them.
I admit to still being new around the whole android development thing, but with Windows I'm pretty proficient, I just can't figure out what I'm missing.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to access adb with the phone not in recovery? You can do push pull commands through adb even if phone is in recovery

If super user is installed yes you can pull or push even in Android...But if not rooted it's only done while in recovery...

k, but r u not installing any custom roms, as far as i know they are all prerooted, or u just need root todo ur own stuff
Personally I just like being able to have access to use adb. I can still use it over wifi using "adb wireless" so it's not a complete loss -- but for some reason the fact that the usb isn't working is just bothering me.
I'm not going to spend much more time fighting with it.. I'm sure it has something to do with the windows and the drivers.

i agree its win7 and drivers
Hey I know this thread is a week old or so, but I just wanted to let you know I found the problem. The problem was actually the Cyanogenmod ROM I had installed.
I was having a few other unrelated problems with that rom so I decided to try SkyICS, and low and behold.. I can now access adb via usb.
Just wanted to put the solution forward and maybe it will shine light on someone else's problem.
Thanks again to everyone for all their help.

Not exactly a solution though, in that Sky ICS is still a TW-based ROM (as in, based off the stock ROM) and not an AOSP-based ROM like CM9 or AOKP.
I also had this issue. The problem was in fact a Windows driver issue though, even though I had installed them already. When I went to Device Manager it would always show up as generic "Android" device with no driver under "other devices". I right-clicked it, Selected "Update device drivers" and then I believe there was an option to select drive from existing installed drivers. I'm on my linux partition right now so I forget what the precise option dialogue was, but it was a separate option from the "Browse my computer" option. From there it opened up a long list and I scrolled down and found one of the Samsung entries listed. I believe it was Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (there were others like SAMSUNG in all caps, etc.). I then selected the driver from the list within that Samsung group and ADB worked again.

I am happy to release my Universal Naked Driver. This is to allow ADB, Fastboot & APX interfaces to work without installing any package much less multiples packages for users with multiple devices. Yes you can just install them and uninstall right away but why bother?
I was annoyed that I couldnt use my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus without having versions and packages trip over each other. My previous post for the Sensation & Galaxy Nexus was helpful so I thought I would bring to XDA the newest Android driver available from source (which they call 4.0) and make it start talking.
Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.

HI,
I see you warning on 0.6.1 about Transformer. So now, is it safe to use your driver with Transformer and HTC phone? ( I am still waiting for my Nexus 7 but I wanna get ready. )
thank you so much for this, it was the missing link in my root adventure
Any drivers for MTP?
Yea i'm having issues finding the MTP driver myself. One would think that this would be on Google's site or Asus's site but there isn't anything. Anyone know where to find it?
Whenver I try to install the driver Windows gives me an error saying, ""The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering." And it won't let me install them. Any ideas? Thanks.

You need to click "install anyway" or whatever the button says. This isn't an official hashed driver

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be an option in Windows 8...=/ I've got adb working from another driver but only when I'm booted into device rather than fastboot or recovery unfortunately. I'll just have to live with a non-permanent CWM for now...
Doesn't seem to work on my amd64-bit machine. I followed the instructions perfectly and it just returns with a error saying "windows was unable to install your nexus"... need help here to get adb/fast boot installed on either windows or Linux.
Edit: NM Got it had to install 64bit pdanet drivers!

Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
I had to manually search for the driver using windows for it to install, thanks!

Thanks for this. The "Nexus 7" driver would install within seconds normally, but the "Nexus" driver always failed when USB debugging was enabled. This driver worked like a charm for USB debugging.
Auto-play doesn't work though.
Win7 32-bit.
Samsung SPH-D700 driver installed.
Now Nexus 7 driver installed.
Thanks for this.
how do u install this? please
sorry

After you download the driver, unzip/extract its contents. Then you go to your device manager on your PC, and plug in your Nexus. You'll see it with a yellow exclamation point, right click it and select update driver. You can then select this driver manually. Also, if using Wug's root method, make sure you configure the fastboot driver as well. I don't have my PC with me, but I believe its step 6 in the driver install process. Its all very easy, sounds confusing, but its not. Good luck!
Thank you, i ll try it after work, since i havent plug the n7 in my laptop yet, thats why i need it for reinstall the stock rom>< my is defected with asus rom

You are the best.:good:
I can't get ADB works on my Nexus 7 even with the lastest Android SDK from Google. But your driver works instantly.
I am looking forward you continue update the device list. Let me know if I can help anything!! :highfive:
