Suddenly getting "Device driver software was not successfully installed" - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I have an AT&T HTC One X and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (wi-fi only). Since I got this new laptop several weeks ago and installed the Android SDK and HTC and Samsung drivers on it, I've been able to connect my devices and use adb on them with no problems. Now, however, whenever I plug in either device I get the above "device driver software was not successfully installed" message. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both HTC Sync and Samsung Kies. I tried deleting the driver from Device Manager before reinstalling HTC Sync, and I tried manually pointing it to the Google Extras USB driver, but nothing seems to be working. I have no idea what threw ADB out-of-whack, please help!

Nvm, apparently the Galaxy Tab 2 IS working now, after uninstalling and reinstalling Kies (as well as updating the device firmware). Which just leaves the HTC One X...at least this means that it's likely just a driver issue rather than some setting I changed on my computer.

[Q] device not recognized over USB

I've been trying to connect my Trasformer to my computer over USB for a while now so that I can use Nachoroot. When I plug it in, a bubble pops up on my PC on the bottom right saying "USB device not recognized". If i go into the device manager and click update driver and have it look in the folder with the USB drivers from Asus's website, it says that i already have the most up to date drivers. I've tried uninstalling the device, installing the package with Sync and web storage, but get the same result.
I have tried using a different cable, a different computer, and a different operating system (specifically windows 7, windows 8, and ubuntu). I've also restored my Transformer using the option in Settings.
Anybody have any ideas as to what will work?
Have you install Asus PC sync?
If you haven't you should
yes, i've installed sync.
Take a look at this thread, especially the "trouble shooting" portion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13635629
I had looked at that thread before and have tried all of those steps, and tried them again, but no luck.
One note being that with the other drivers from the hotfile download on that thread, i'm unable to install them. In the device manager on my computer, when I plug the computer in it shows up as an unrecognized device, and when I try to use those drivers it says that they don't apply.
I am having the same problem. I was rooted on the 3.2.1 system with a US version BAO transformer TF101-A1 and the computer was able to use the drivers. However, I could not upgrade and was having issues unrooting, so I did a factory reset then upgraded OTA 3 different times until I got to the ICS 4.0.3 (which runs fine, just unrooted!). Now I cannot get the transformer drivers to install! I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" error and in the device manager it shows up as an Unknown Device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. I try to update the drivers using Asus drivers, Vipormod drivers, and the drivers I used to originally root it which was Brks_rootkit_v7, but it won't accept them. This is without Asus Sync installed and trying on four different computers using Windows 7 64 bit and two different cables. I even tried loading the Asus Sync and it will not find the device. When I try to boot into stock recovery, I just get an Android that falls over with a red exclamation point. Also to note, my wife has a transformer still on 3.2.1 and rooted and it recognizes it immediately on all four computers using either cable. I have been everywhere searching for an answer (including this site) and tried just about everything. I just submitted a service claim email to Asus telling them that after the update I am unable to use Asus Sync and the drivers aren't recognized. I am extremely frustrated! Any help will be appreciated.

These also seem to be a similiar problem and as yet a solution has not been found.
Thank you for your quick reply. I will head over there.
Just to clarify, I can download the appropriate file, flash that file (using cwm) and then it will boot up in ICS or do I need to update to ICS after that?
Thanks,

If you have kies then just install kies on pc then connect your phone;dont need to install driver manually.

I had the same problem long ago
You need to remove all the Samsung drivers and kies if present in your PC and install Samsung USB drivers (find them from xda or Google or install kies)
Connect your phone in download mode and let the system detect your phone

This is a NEW problem that is affecting many thousands of people and it happened after the last update.
I have a GT 19300 v4.1.2 and all was well until I installed the update.
Now when I connect the phone to my PC (W7) the system sees it and tries to install drivers but then gives a message saying the it failed to install them.
Device manager now shows my phone as an unknown device and it didn't before.
I have tried lots of fixes and there are now dozens and dozens of them on different forums and none of them work.
This is not a cable problem and not a Kies problem. Lots of people including me have installed and uninstalled it.
I have the Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit an it installed the latest drivers today 1.5.15.0 and they didn't help.
Many people have tried a reset and all it did was waste their time so don't bother.
It looks like only Samsung or Google can fix the problem but I'd love to here of another fix.

Today I disconnected the internet and plugged the phone into a different USB socket before booting the PC
The message I got this time was,
Samsung_Android X Device unplugged
Unidentified Device X No driver found
The above makes no sense to me but if it does to you then please let me know.
Thanks,
Michael

I got a message on my cellphone "the software does not exist on your phone to allow it to connect with your phone. You need .. XP with Windows media player ..." I don't remember the exact words". I'm using W7
Then when I unplugged my phone W7 said drivers are being installed and then said successfully installed. I plugged the phone in and it was recognized.
I opened Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit but it didn't show a serial at the top. I attempted to do a back up of all programs but gave up after a message, "waiting for ADB mode" appeared on the screen for over an hour. My phone isn't rooted; is that why?
The phone is no longer being recognize

[Q] How to install MTP USB drivers?

I am started to hate Kies and now I'm starting to really hate everything!!
I'm trying to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi UK GT-P6210 Build number: HTJ85B P6210XXLB1.
I thought I could upgrade via Wifi but apparently it doesn't work (and it doesn't) and I have to use Kies. The ADB USB drives install but the MTP drivers just will not install. I've tried all the workarounds I could find, installed and reinstalled, reset my Samsung and restarted my PC. Same problem. Tried on my Laptop. Didn't work. Downloaded a new Windows MTP driver. I mean this is ridiculous.
Also if I use this SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe or the Kies versions I get a long list of drivers and no indication of which one is the correct one. I tried all of them. Same result.
What next? Destroy it?

[Q] After update to 2.3.6, device won't connect to USB. Help!

Hi everyone! I've updated my Samsung Galaxy i9003L to 2.3.6 via Kies a few days ago, and USB connection has stopped working for seemingly no reason. The phone just charges but never mounts. Kies doesn't detect it either.
On Win7, when I try to connect I get the device listed as "Unknown Device", error 43. Have tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling official Samsung drivers at least 5 times. Didn't work. Also, Kies doesn't detect the phone. Have tried running Kies' connection troubleshoot tool. Didn't work either.
I've tried connecting the device with 3 different USB cables (including the original Samsung one), and on different USB ports as well. Didn't work either. Also tried putting the device on USB Debugging mode, to no avail. I've also cleaned the USB port in the phone just in case. Problem persists.
My Linux netbook used to detect the device with no problem at all before the update. Now it doesn't detect it either. I've also tried my GF's Mac, but no dice. This makes me think this may be a phone error.
I've also tried the *#7284# USB/MODEM solution and rebooted my phone to factory settings twice already. Nothing seems to work.
I'd appreciate some help on the matter, this is driving me slightly crazy!

Hi! First of all, thanks for the help. I doubt this is a firmware problem, since neither mi Linux netbook nor a Mac computer detected the phone in any way, and they also used ot be able to detect it with no problem.

[Q] Moto G 4G unable to install MTP Driver

Hi guys,
After trying to sort this myself for several hours and failing, I figured I had better ask someone else. Basically I have installed Bliss Rom onto my Moto 4g which is working fine, however I am attempting to go fully back to stock.
When I enabled ADB driver on the phone, the drivers did not install at first so I ended up manually finding them and installing them but this process involved me uninstalling all my old drivers.
The ADB driver is now installed fine, as is the USB Device driver, however MTP driver just keeps coming up as 'Driver not installed'.
I have manually reinstalled Motorolas driver package, I have also tried to manually select a driver but the only driver listed (under update driver>browse my computer for the driver software>let me pick from a list) as MTP is installing and staying with the yellow icon and not working.
I tried restarting several times to try force windows to automatically look again for a new driver but its still not working. Can anyone suggest something I may have missed?
I am running Windows 7 x64 incase its relevant.
Using motorolas drivers and forcing a repair just comes up and says 'Driver not Found' in windows driver check.
