Computer won't recognize phone

I've installed HTC Sync, the Android SDK, but nothing, I get an error and the computer never recognizes the phone.
Any suggestions?
In the device manager, it says unspecified android device, and I can't install any drivers to fix it.

I would download the android sdk. This has all of the android drivers. Download it and open it to install drivers. Then plug your phone in and select disk drive.

He said he downloaded the SDK in the first post. I would uninstall all, reinstall, reboot, and then use a different port/cable if necessary.

I just saw that. Maybe try the phone on another computer to make sure its not the computer.

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!!!

[Q] [Help] Connecting with ADB

Has anyone figured out how to connect to their Note with ADB yet?
I turned on debugging but the darn thing still doesn't show up in the devices list.
For reference, I'm using the cable that came with the Note and I can transfer files successfully

Have you installed proper drivers or the Android SDK? If you get Android SDK for your pc, make sure open up the manager in there. Then download platform tools and tools. It should give you needed drivers and support for ADB & Fastboot(not sure if Samsung uses it).
Or you might be able to use Odin to do whatever you trying to do with ADB. Not sure though. Depends on what you trying to do.

I'm trying to play with some app deving, I like the logcat tools Eclipse provides.
I'm also trying to play with sqlite,
I updated my SDK to have the ICS and JB API's, I didn't think that ADB would have been significantly different than the honeycomb one I was using with my GB phone. I'll give it another try when I get back to my office on Thursday. I figured either I was doing something wrong, or I had something wrong on my Note when my Prevail works.
Thanks for the help

Well, I updated everything, made sure I have the latest ADB executable and dll's and still can't get it to work.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I can connect to my phone just fine, pull logcats, install test builds of APKs with Eclipse, everything.
My Note just doesn't show in the device list. I've made sure that adbd is a running service on the Note. Should I be using a different cable from the one that came with the system?
In case it matters, the only things I've done are to install CWM recovery and rooted using this method: rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/

Well, turns out I'm a complete idiot.
It helps to have the latest samsung drivers installed
I had given up on getting it to work, then installed Kies to do an update.....
once it installed new drivers, my Note suddenly started showing up in ADB's device list.
Here I thought I already had the latest drivers
I feel like such an idiot

ADB Offline and no access to bootloader

A few days ago I've tried using ADB but it said my device is offline. Earlier I tried ADB over network. Again, it said my phone is offline. So I wanted to see if I can get ADB access from the bootloader. Surprize: I can't get into the bootloader. If I turn my phone off and press Volume Down + Power, it just boots.
Now, my phone is working good, I just wanted adb access to do that darn EFS backup. And what's up with that "can't get into bootloader" stuff? I did it fine and dandy when I rooted my phone..
EDIT: well, since I can not do the backup the normal way, I just downloaded the efs folder as a zip. and dev/block/. Is it as effective as the normal way?

It is Vol-Up + Power for bootloader. And you can't have adb access in bootloader mode. Only fastboot access.

Ok but why isn't adb working? Why does it always say it's offline?

It could be that you installed some software/driver that overrides a working USB driver.
Try install Google USB driver from Android SDK Tools.
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Also, make sure you turn on Developer options and "check" Andoid (USB) debugging option in Developer options setup.

Do you have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB interface showing in your device manager?
Try uninstall and reload again.

Almost = https://dl.dropbox.com/1/view/xiulpm329s4wxcd/Apps/CloudShot/shot_25022013_192328.png
Still it says offline.
(thank you for trying to help me )

In fastboot mode it looks like this:

just tested at work and it says "device" instead of "offline" which is good I think. The only difference is that at work I installed the SDK long after I got it at home and it has a slightly different folder structure and it also comes with eclipse.

Resolved. Downloaded the new SDK with ADT from the android site and it works. Please forgive me for posting so many times. Can someone please delete this thread?

Good for you.
Anyway, if you followed post #4 and installed the new SDK Tools, would have saved you a lot of time.
