[TUTORIAL][ADB][WINDOWS 8]Connect HTC explorer to windows 8 and use adb - HTC Pico (Explorer)

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

32 & 64 Bit Windows 8 / 7 / Vista / XP - Attached to this post!
MD5: 30D25BC073F010CA01178CD6E2C5E4FA
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

Hello,
I just thought it would be easier to post this HTC naked driver so you do not have to install any HTC software. Just grabbed it from the installer and repacked it for your convenience.
I only did 64 bit for now
HTC Driver 3.0.0.007.rar
Enjoy!

This is ¡much bueno! You have been "THANKS"-ed accordingly.
You are welcome, I hate installing stuff I don't need.
You can achieve the same by just canceling out of htc sync installation after the driver installs as well.
Hi, the link for 64 bit driver is broken. Could someone upload it again.
Thanks

Added it to first post, thanks
just out of interest where do these drivers go ?
You would extract the drivers first to any temp folder, once phone is plugged in you system will look for drivers and when it cant find them you would point it to your temp folder.
When that happens it will copy the files it needs from the temp folder to windows drivers, after this process the temp folder is no longer needed.
Hope this helps.
why are they in .rar format? arent they supposed to be a .zip file?
You could just download this driver from the HTC Developers website (http://developer.htc.com)
It includes the driver for nearly all Windows OS
Go to the webpage, then scroll right to the bottom. Its labelled 'HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC' and is 5.5MB.
Fast download, and no need for any waiting or popups you get from filesharing websites.
any guide how to use the file ?

Or what I did was to extract the files in the rar and copy/replaced the original drivers form the HTC Sync driver set.
thnx this worked very well

Great Tip but its an older version and might not have the edits to allow newer phones.
The one on the site is from 11/2010 and is version 2.0.0007.00002, this one is 3.0.0.007.
I do not think it has a ton of features but its newer and has compatibly for more phones.
Great!
But is this driver works for all USB modes?
Usually I'm using "Internet pass-trough" mode.
how do i get the driver for windows xp 32 bit? duh nevermind. sorry

+1 this is a clean & easy way to install the HTC drivers, then just cancel the HTC Sync install after!

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 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 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

[Q] Windows 8 / HTC Sync problems

Hello @ all,
I installed Windows 8 Pro and am now trying to sync my phone with HTC Sync. I currently use Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. With Windows 7 I had no problems.
What I did:
- install Full HTC Sync
- then I had no connection to my phone, I read in other threads that I have to manually install the Win7 drivers. Then Windows recognized my phone.
- Start Sync
- confugured Sync to sync my contacts and calendar
- then it started to sync and seems to stop after more than 5 minutes syncinc
- I aborted the sync and restarted HTC Sync
- I saw, that my contacts were synced, calendar too
- When I now try to sync once more it starts to sync but after some seconds HTC Sync crashes without any message...
Does someone know where the problem is?
whos using that crap software anyway? get MyPhoneExplorer :good:

Hi,
Unpack the zip to your desktop.
Go into bootloader,then, fastboot and plug in your usb.
On your PC,go into device manager,and click on Android device.
Click update drivers,and browse to desktop.
This might help others, but for me I could only get the bootloader driver to load in a USB 2.0 port. On the USB 3.0 it loaded but had an error every time.

Restore Windows 7 - issue resolved and your PC will thank you.
Solved - easy
Well it looks like HTC are a bit slack packaging all the correct bits for HTC Sync ..
I solved this by..
1. First deleted all the HTC components
2. install the new HTC Sync Manager sw (it has bits that HTC Sync can use, like HTC Driver Installer that will actually install)
3. then installi HTC Sync. (It will figure out what it needs and wont re install bits that got loaded in step2)
4. You may then like to open HTC sync and say OK to the Adobie Air (not esential)
5. Plug in the Phone by USB as usual and it should now find HTC Sync
Good luck, .and hope this helps someone.
ps, My Phone was a Sensation
Someone else may like to figure out what can then be uninstalled from HTC Sync Manager and still allow HTC Sync to keep running???
HTC drivers for Windows 8 are pretty bad right now, I think.

Has anyone managed to get this method working on an incredible s?
Win8 driver installation, no dodgy download method
Guys;
Don't know if this is thread is already outdated, but here is how I got it to work:
Win 8 HTC Drivers without HTC Sync, and getting the driver to install on Win 8.
1. download the latest HTC Sync tool
2. run it - first window sorts out installing prerequisites. Allow this to happen
3. if, like me, you get the '''HTC Driver failed, do you want to continue?''' message, stop there do not click anything
4. In the %temp% user profile area, you will be able to find the source files it just unpacked, including the HTCDriver file.
5. the HTC Driver file for me was HTCDriver_4.0.1.001_20121107.exe. Copy this somewhere else out of this folder.
6. go back to the installer, click no. The files in the %temp% folder will be deleted, which is why we needed step 5.
7. you will find (if you are like me) this exe will not work, it will complain about a transform being missing. Do not click anything, it will sit there.
8. using explorer or CMD.EXE find the file HTCDriver.msi. The EXE unloads that into the %temp% area too. Copy that away somewhere as the exe will remove all the files it deploys when it ends too.
9. run the found MSI file directly.
10. successful driver deployment.
11. Cancel HTC Sync application which you left in step 3 (unless you want it!)
What a bunch of a$$ but it worked this way, without downloading the outdated (and non win8 compatible drivers) from http://www.clockworkmod.com/tether/drivers and from other forums where the driver files are uploaded to other unknown (untrustworthy?) hosting sites.
Good luck!
but they are not working
i have new htc one and i am also new on android.i had an iphone5 and really bored with it anymore.windows 8 is running on my pc..i installed htc sync on my pc and connect my device to computer wirt usb cable but it says doesnt recognize my device.i didnt understand why it is so hard a htc software recognize a htc device,can anyone tell me why it is happening?
You should probably post this in the HTC one forum section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117

[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

[Q] No ADB access

Have Windows 7 64-bit, and had no issues using adb commands with my M7 HTC One. No matter what, I cannot get the same laptop to recognize my M8 to issue ADB commands. adb devices shows no device. Made sure HTC Sync/Samsung Keis/etc. wasn't installed. Update Android SDK to latest versions. Tried to install the HTC One M8 "Toolkit" and update drivers there.
Any ideas? Not sure if I should be getting the security popup on my phone to trust the PC connection, but that's not happening even though USB Debugging is enabled on the phone. I can provide more information if needed.

I too had trouble getting my M8 drivers to install correctly. When the adb devices command returns nothing that means your drivers aren't installed. Open your device manager in Windows (open start menu then search device manager) and see if under your devices it shows a yellow triangle next to your device. If it does then drivers aren't installed correctly. What I ended up doing was actually installing HTC Sync and HTC Sync manager and allowing it to install drivers for me. Then once it was done uninstalling them. Or you could also manually update the drivers with the Universal adb drivers (they come with the Android SDK). I would install HTC Sync and let it do it's thing though first.That HTC Driver installer program you see in the screenshot below came with the HTC Sync program.

OK, I decided to all out attack this and uninstalled a bunch of stuff from my PC. Plug the phone in and it installed the drivers, prompted (on my phone) to allow debugging and I am all set. Strangest thing as my M7 was working perfectly fine last week. Thanks!
