Found Answer To Windows XP 32 Bit Driver install Error

Hi Guys!!!
Recently I had A problem Installing Windows 32 bit Driver For Android So i searched On the web for this error & Found that there were many people with this error...
Here Is the info about that Error In My Last Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493604
WINDOWS XP x86 / 32-Bit Only
The error was so:
When we download the android_usb_windows.zip then extract it and then try to install it via device manager all goes right it detects the driver but at the last step where it asks for androidusb.sys file and when given the path it waits some time and says Fatal Error...
SO I tried To Go deep in the system32 folder There Go into Drivers Folder Now Here You begin some stuff:
1. Go in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers" Folder there Find These files and cut them and paste in some folder where its safe:
androidusb.sys
usbccgp.sys
usbstor.sys
wdf01000.sys !!!! (Be Careful Deleting this File, I Say First try Without Deleting this file !)
2. Now Go to device manager "Right-click My Computer -> Manager -> Device Manager"
3. Click On ADB Interference Or something like that U ll Get a sub-category Right-click on it Click Uninstall -> OK
Do The Same For the Following :
USB Composite Device
USB Mass Storage Device
4. Get The Drivers From Here If U already Don't Have: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2.zip
OR
Get The Haykuro's Updated USB Drivers from here : http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/usb_driver_updated.zip
5. Now Try To Install The Driver Again By Going to "Right-click My Computer -> Manager -> Device Manager -> Action -> Scan for Hardware Changes" Then You will Get a pop-up saying Found New Hardware...
6. Install the drivers As Usual..... It Will install The Drivers Succesfully....
You Are Done.....

All I can say is THANK YOU.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
This post deserves a sticky..
you are great

LOL
-- well after this I couldn't use FASTBOOT anymore hahahahaha
well, I worked around that, had to reinstall drivers for Haykuro's SPL too. So now both ADB and FASTBOOT work.

Thanks helped with my Win NT at work. lol

lol i have no idea if this was the cause... after this, I was no longer able to use my laptops keyboard, mice, video card drivers were corrupted along with network drivers, processor bus communications driver and a whole lot more. I had to perform a full system recovery so... yay.. lost everything, but im working on it.
---EDIT, I performed this on my fully recovered system again, and had the same results after it rebooted. I was able to conlude that it was caused by the system file with the wdf in it. Luckily, I hadn't deleted it and simply moved it into the recylcing bin and was able to recover from it. This may just be specific to my system, but I'm not sure. Just a warning to back everything up.

So Is that you are sayin is we do not need to remove the wdf file, did the drivers work without removing & again installing that wdf file?
or u did not put the new file again before rebooting ?

I am not really sure. It can possibly just be my computer. Once removing all the drivers you listed, the ADB then successfully worked, and continued to work as long as the computer was not rebooted. Once rebooted, I drivers for many pieces of hardware became corrupt and unreadable. By simply replacing the wdf driver and rebooting, it fixed the issue. So, I really am not sure. My computer... is strange. I believe it likely could just be my computer thats all.

next time if u get such problem just try solving without removing the wdf file & post what happens...
& plz post the consequences....thanks

The key points are:
To choose ADB interface\HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface to install

I will be performing another system recovery install soon, so I will post the results. My computer got screwed up again, so backing everything up now...

I still have a problem...
thanks for your tutorial.
I followed as you say, but I can't find my phone in cmd mode in my computer.
I succeed to install driver also it's shown in device manager as like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

but something wrong in cmd mode as like this.
I'v tried whatever I can do..reinstall driver, adb, swipe my phone..
what shall I do now?

adb problem
Hi,
Same problem here, tried everything but CMD just is not showing any device...

I found the solution: make sure that debugging mode is checked in your G1 settings because if not ADB will not work.

I followed this completely, I have the phone installed correctly now, not a mass storage device, device manager reads:
ADB Interface > HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface
However, I have usb debugging enabled, and still get the same *error: device not found*
Took a decent amount of time to get done right too, thanks to "trustedinstaller" being the only "user" that can delete drivers on my laptop..yay for changing ownerships! You'd think administrator would suffice, but nay.
Anywho..wtf am I missing here?
edit: win 7 x64, however the same rules for this how-to should still apply, as all the drivers and install options/processes are identical

ive found that trying to use the adb driver the driver gave me error code 10 (within the device manager)
ive got rc win7 64 bit
what i used to get rid of this problem is the program called USBdeview ( google for it)
and uninstalled everything related to htc/android
after connecting the phone the correct driver installed and i could use the adb device

I didn't want to make another topic on this, but I have a problem. Whenever I uninstall the drivers from device manager, then search for new devices, it installs the drivers automatically. I have mass storage and adb dream interface, but no devices are found when I execute the adb command. I cleaned out what I could from the system32 and /drivers folder. Any clues? Just to add, it did work about a week ago, didn't need to use it, now it doesn't work.
Edit: Oops, I forgot the check the uninstall driver box. I have the drivers, they install correctly, but I still can't use adb.
PS: vista x64, installing from the amd64 subfolder.

ADB Access Win x64 (CM10)

Since I can't respond to threads in Developer and I think that this might belong here to answer some folks questions. I have read that a lot of people are having issues with ADB access under Windows x64 using the latest CM10 by h8rift. I found a solution that worked for me and I wish to share it with everyone in case it will work for them. A few critiria:
- Your device is connected via USB cable to your computer
- Your device is listed as "HTC MTP Device" in Windows Device Manager
- When you open a CMD prompt under your Android Directory and type "adb devices", nothing is listed
This is because you have the wrong device drivers installed on your system and it needs to be corrected. This is how I accomplished it.
1. Uninstall the driver completely from your system. This has to be done under the device properties. Under "Action", select "Scan for New Hardware Changes". Your system will see the new device and identify it under "Other Devices" as "One". If Windows tries to install the wrong drivers, you will have to restart all over until the HTC MTP Device driver is completely removed from your system.
2. Install HTC Sync from their website. Once installed, it has to update to the latest version. This is needed to install all additional drivers for SD Card access.
3. HTC One X Drivers will be listed under C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files (default install location).
4. For ADB access, you will need the drivers located here; download appropriate drivers for your Windows flavor. These are the ADB drivers.
5. Download the zip, and extract. Remember the location of the files. Go into Device Manger, find "One" under "Other Devices" and Update Driver Software. Point to the new directory you made and install. The One X will now be listed in Device Manager as "My HTC" under "Android USB Devices"
6. To verify ADB, open a CMD prompt, point to Android directory and type in "adb devices". Your beautiful HTC One X should be listed.
I am not the maintainer of any of these webpages nor can I guarantee that these pages will exist to the end of time. Those of you wishing to have ADB access under Windows for CM10, this worked well for me. I gathered up this information just by doing a quick search in Google and through the forums.
Thank you to h8rift for CM10 and all the hard work he puts into it.

Will try this when I get home! Thanks.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks man!

HTC One X, CM10-Evita JellyBean, Win7-x64

Not working for me, evertime I scan for hardware changes it tried to install HTC MTP DEVICE, and when I try to update that driver with the new ADB driver, it says it's already installed. Then when I uninstall that driver, I don't see the One devices anywhere, until I scan for hardware changes again, which then repeats the above. What am I doing wrong?

I think I found a fix for that. Let me restart my computer and verify
edit: nope.. nothing so far. mine doesn't even show HTC MTP DEVICE anymore >.>

same i see one when i look for new hardware but it always just auto sets to mtp.

Delete old drivers
The reason for this is that you cannot completely delete existing drivers using device manager. They still exist in the driver store, and are loaded as soon as you scan for hardware changes.
There might be a better way to do this, but here's how I did it:
- uninstall driver in device manager. Don't scan for hardware changes.
- Run a CMD prompt as administrator (right click "Run as Administrator")
- navigate to C:/Windows/system32 which is the location of the driver store
- type pnputil.exe /e
- this will list the drivers that exist in the driver store. They are denoted as oem##.inf
- find the driver that has "HTC Corporation" in the description. Write down the oem##.inf number (ex. oem81.inf)
- type pnputil.exe /d oem##.inf (where ## corresponds to the number of the HTC driver).
This will remove the old driver from the driver store. Now when you scan for hardware changes, it should fail to find a driver and prompt you for a location.
NOTE: I actually had several HTC drivers in the driver store. Its because I've had a few HTC devices over the years. I deleted them all. This may break HTC Sync, I dunno. I don't use it.

Fixed. See post below

For anyone having problems. I finally got it working.
THIS SHOULD BE NO LONGER NEEDED. ROHAN'S NEW AOKP VERSION 2 SHOULD WORK WITH STOCK DRIVERS. IM ASSUMING THIS WILL BE MERGED WITH ANY OTHER AOSP ROMS. IF YOU STILL NEED THIS INFORMATION HOWEVER, I WILL LEAVE IT UP.
1. Uninstall HTC Sync and any HTC sync drivers listed in your "Add/Remove Programs"
2. Delete EVERY driver pertaining to HTC when you run CMD as admin and type "pnputil -e" and then type "pnputil -d oem##.inf" (such as oem13.inf ONLY IF it says HTC or HTC Corporation)
3. Download Deview - 32 bit OR 64 bit, and run as administrator and uninstall ALL disconnected drivers (it won't matter if you uninstall the wrong thing, because it will just reinstall again when you plug in the hardware. make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in)
4. Download ADB drivers 32 bit OR 64 bit. (windows)
**Restart Computer**? (I did just to be safe)
5. Plug in your phone. Go into device manager, and find your device. It should be listed as "One" with a yellow question mark.
6. Right click and update driver software
7. find your USB drivers you downloaded and choose to install those.
your device should now be listed under "Android USB Devices" as "My HTC"
When I did this, my phone skipped being labelled as "HTC MTP Device" all together
If it is not detected in ADB after installing drivers...
1. UNPLUG PHONE
2. Run USBDeview as administrator
3. Uninstall any unplugged devices
4. Restart computer
5. Plug in phone

What exactly are you trying to do? Did you install HTC Sync drivers? This is for using ADB on the old CM10/AOKP, not for rooting your phone

device is already rooted, I need to get adb working because I can't get my cid from fastboot command.

Boot your phone into fastboot from your bootloader
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda-developers app

i'm in fastboot and type adb shell getprop ro.cid, message says error: device not found. fastboot getvar cid returns CID: none

Found a great way that fixed it for me on Windows 8:
use this tool: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html to remove all instances of anything that has to do with HTC. Then, follow steps above to scan for new devices, and set the driver accordingly (with USB debugging on on the phone). It should register as "My HTC" and then you will be able to see the device in "adb devices" list.

you can't use adb from fastboot. you use fastboot.exe e.g.
fastboot oem getvar cid
no adb needed.

Guys can u pls help me? I've done the above procedure for installing the drivers on my htc explorer, it all worked, in the device manager panel i can see My htc when i'm in fastboot, and i can see Android bootloader Interface when i'm in the bootloader, but nevertheless I can't run adb shell because it doesn't find the device, and when I run adb device it gives me an embty list, i must use adb in order to attemp to recover the nand that it's probably burned.

[Tutorial] How to install Android SDK/ADB tool & HTC's drivers [BEGINNER FRIENDLY]

[Tutorial] How to install Android SDK/ADB tool & HTC's drivers [BEGINNER FRIENDLY]
[SIZE="+1"]-- Android SDK/ADB tool Tutorial --[/SIZE]​
I decided to create this Beginner Friendly tutorial on how to install SDK tool mainly because recent phones such as the i.e. HTC One X / One X+ are requiring many basic usage of adb command line, and lots of members are having difficulities to have basics adb command to work because their SDK tool is not correctly installed. I won't show you how to make usage of it, there is plenty of How-to's for that purpose all around xda and on the Web.
This is all safe to install on your Windows based computer, and if you can not achieve success with this installation, well obviously, you shouldn't play the hacking game with your device. From now on, I or anyone else on the Internet can not be held responsible if something really bad is happening to you because you didn't read and followed any given instructions letters by letters and you ended with a screwed, pricey and valuable paperweight device. That being said, let's get started.​
Let's GO!
____________________________________________
[SIZE="+1"]-- Enabling USB debugging mode --[/SIZE]
On your phone simply follow this path : Settings -> Developer options -> Turn the option ON -> under Debugging -> tick USB debugging option Debug mode when USB is connected
That's it, done!
____________________________________________
[SIZE="+1"]-- Java Installation --[/SIZE]
This is a prerequisite to have a flawlessly working SDK tool installation.
Click on the following link to download it on Java's website : Free Java Download
On the next page, do not click on Agree and Start Download, instead click on See all Java downloads.
Which should you choose? If you have a 64-bit Windows OS you MUST install the two versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit), otherwise the 32-bit is sufficient for a 32-bit Windows OS.
Before installing the latest version of Java, it is recommended to uninstall all previous Java's installation. (How to -> Remove Older Versions)
Complete the required installation depending of the type of Windows installation.
You are all done for Java.

First step is to download the SDK Manager, to do so click on this link -> Download the SDK
Next locate on the bottom of your screen the USE AN EXISTING IDE, click on it.
On the Get the Android SDK page, tick the I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions box and click on the Download the SDK Tools for Windows button.
Navigate to your Download folder, and locate a file named like this: installer_r21.1-windows.exe (N.B. The r21.1 version was available when I did this how to, your version could be different.)
Double click on the installer_r21.1-windows.exe file to start the installation. Take good note where the file will be installed, generally the default SDK path is : C:\Users\your_session's_name\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk.
Now, navigate to the path of the SDK installation folder.
Select all (CTRL + A) in this folder and Copy (CTRL +C) them for the next step.
Now you need to create a new folder at the root of your C:\ drive named : AndroidSDK
Open up the newly created folder and Paste (CTRL + V) the previously copied files.
Stay in this folder and double click on the SDK Manager icon.
The SDK Manager will open a new window, click on Deselect All, then tick the following line in Tools : AndroidSDK Platform-tools
Click on Install 1 Package..., accept the license agreement and click on Install let the manager do it's thing.
Click on Done and close the manager's window.
Congrats! You have created successfully your SDK tool!
Wait! Let's clean your computer a bit....
Go back to the previous folder, the one located in this path : C:\Users\your_session's_name\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
Click on the Uninstaller, we don't need this one anymore. Don't worry the other AndroidSDK folder won't be deleted.
Voilà! You are done with this part.

This one is very easy, simply download and run the installer and let Windows do the rest. Drivers compatbile 32-bit or 64-bit
Download the Self-install HTCDriver_4.0.1.001.exe/
Make sure your phone is not plugged on your computer via the USB cable.
Simply run the installer of the driver you've just downloaded.
Once the installation is completed, simply plug your phone via your USB cable and Windows "wizard manager" will now detect your phone.
If it doesn't work, unplug your phone and reboot your computer. Then plug back your phone once rebooted.
Done!

____________________________________________
[SIZE="+1"]-- Let's try all this! --[/SIZE]
With your phone plugged on your USB cable...
From your Desktop, double click on your Start SDK shortcut.
In the command window, at the command line : C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools> type this -> adb devices (Enter)
The serial number of your phone should appear in the command window. If it is the case, then try this again : C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools> type this -> adb reboot (Enter)
Your phone will now Reboot
If all this worked, you have a successful SDK Tools installation!

Excellent tutorial... but I disagree with this line. No process is bulletproof and there is no way a tutorial can account for all the variables with Windows.
Which explains why I am now asking for help!
This is my third Android phone and fifth Android device. I've rooted all five and installed multiple ROMs and for the most part have not had too many problems.
I'm currently running Elegancia 5.3.0 on my AT&T One X+ and have a few issues that I'm tired of dealing with. I decided to flash the RUU to go back to stock and also to update to hboot 1.4 which is required for the Blackout ROM I was thinking about trying. The RUU cannot find my phone unless I connect while in the bootloader. Even then though, the RUU flash still fails. Since it cannot see my phone while it's running, I decided to check if ADB can see it. Nope. No luck at all. I have connected with ADB to my device many, many times... but it has been close to a year since the last time I did. I removed all HTC drivers and Sync from Add/Remove Programs, deleted my old version of the SDK and Java and followed your tutorial step-by-step.
My phone still shows up in Device Manager under PORTABLE DEVICES and I can't seem to make it connect any other way.
Please tell me you have a suggestion to help me fix this. I've tried using every combination of search terms I can think of and have had no luck for the past 36 hours.

Finally fixed my ADB problem using these steps in case anyone else runs into it.

This worked great for me after two days of trying to get my phone to connect. I had to uninstall everything related to java, android, and htc, and the link for the htc drivers was dead so I just reinstalled sync manager, but it all works now, much thanks. All this effort was just so I could put my music on the phone, and so that I could do a full backup to my pc without rooting.

MD5 CHECKSUMS
Sometimes downloading from the internet can yield a corrupt download. To prevent this, make sure you always check the md5 checksum (also known as "md5sum") of the file. This method verifies the digital integrity of the file by verifying its digital signature with the MD5 algorithm.
After you download each file, make sure to check that the md5sum matches what is given.

How to check the md5sum of a file:
Windows:
For windows you need to download the md5sum binary. I recommend the one from my dev-host.
After that, copy the file you're trying to verify to the directory where where you downloaded the "md5sum.exe"
Once that is finished, do SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK (inside the folder window) and choose "Open command window here"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):
Code:
md5sum fileNameHere
That will output a hash, which you can compare to the ones above.
Linux: No need to download anything, md5sum binaries are included in all distros, as far as I know.
Open a terminal and type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):
Code:
$ cd path/to/download/folder
$ md5sum fileNameHere
Two important notes:
This method can be used with any files you download, as long as the download site (or the dev themself) provides the correct md5sum.
If any of the digits do not match exactly, you need to download the file again.

Updated OP with md5sum how-to and checksums.

Wow really cool, I have always hated installing htc sync Thank you a thousand times!!!

No problem :good:

What about the Universal Naked Driver thread?
Are these drivers in any way more up-to-date or in other ways better than those? Or additional?
I currently use that driver package and am setup quite well with it. But i think i still had to set up HTCSync to get the MTP drivers. Not sure anymore lol.

MSI files don't seem to install. Getting error messages on ALL. Error 2732 Directory Manager not initialised.
edit: disregard, just temporarily disabled UAC settings and it worked.

I believe that the universal naked drivers would work just as well, but for ADB only
For the purposes of transferring files using either MTP or UMS, you need the HTC drivers
EDIT: If you look at the thread, the drivers were last updated Nov. of 2012, so I would say that these are more up to speed than those

Thanks for this! Worked like a charm Bud! Glad I stumbled into this very nice not to deal with HTC Sync :good:

No problem :thumbup:

Got an idea, the MD5 verification you posted sounds awefully complicated. Why don't you just recommend windows and/or mac users to install HashTab? Its a Windows Shell extension that produces a new tab on the properties dialogue for each file and lets you compare hashes by just c/p any hash you want from one file property into another.
It's free and totally cool. You find it here: http://www.implbits.com/hashtab.aspx
[EDIT]
I am having issues identifying which driver packages i have to install on my windows 7 x64. I just went through all of them (apart the obvious x86 bmp package). I noticed that i had to create a uniqueID folder in \TEMP with another uniqueID subfolder and place one of the MSI packages in there and rename it to what the MSI wanted to have, in order to make that package work.
I assume, the HTC Sync or the Sync Manager would usually unpack those files to that folder and name them accordingly (in fact, i think you extracted them from there the same way i would extract a RUU lol) and then you renamed those packages to include the version numbering? Unfortunately those drivers aren't easy that way for noobs. I wonder if they can be re-packaged with some easy install automator program so that in the end you could offer like a HTC Sync package without the HTC Sync crap in it?

What windows suite do you have? Before I even started uploading extracted drivers, I tested all of the installations (run from my desktop) on my Windows 7 ultimate x64 laptop, precisely because I suspected it might somehow be blocked. And all (including the msi's) installed with no problem. I've even reinstalled the latest ones (downloading from my own mediafire) after I had to reinstall windows 7 on my laptop. Also, which msi did you have problems installing?

What you need to install is detailed in the OP: the BMP x64 driver, and the HTCDriverXXX.exe (or HTCDriverXXX.msi)

thank you mister, works great for me under win 7 x64 / win 8 x64.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback that it works on Win8, will add to OP. Couldn't test it myself because I have no machines running 8. But thanks :good:

Ok, did you run the MSI version of the drivers? If you did, try the exe version.

Note - Java is needed to Run SDK Manager - Install JAVA​
The Reason that you would want to use Android SDK is because its very easy, it's well updated and it just WORKS! There is much more use with HTC devices with adb then with Samsung when it comes to the daily things like splash screens, radio updates, firmware. You will be dealing a lot with the bootloader and fastboot flashing. So to help out, I will post a helpful guide to help you get started for use with the HTC One M8.​

Thanks! Good stuff.. I just installed Windows 8 and totally forgot that I had to reinstall this... ( which originally took me 8 hours to figure out the first time! Lol ) this will definitely help future HTC people out...

Thanks for the guide but will this work with USB 3.0? I have an Asus G750JW with 4x usb 3.0 ports and no usb 2.0

I am aware that USB 3.0 does cause issues with adb, mostly the longer running ones it hangs sometimes, I don't have an answer for that right now, I am running with 2.0 still and I have zero issues.
This is something that I came across that seemed to resolve a lot of adb issues

I feel like such an idiot, but I want to be sure I'm getting the latest HTC Sync... I follow the link in the OP and it takes me to support.. I Google and the same thing happens.. They move it over at HTC?
I found it here... http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
And this worked flawlessly!! I was always afraid of going back to Windows 8.1 because of ADB/Fastboot being broken.. so far so good!! Side loading soon!!

without changing environment variable we can even hold shift+right click the folder containing the adb and open command window from the menu isn't it?
