Maybe you downloaded the 32bit but you have a 64bit version of windows, make sure you got the right drivers

Try disabling your virus protection while installing the drivers, then re-enable it after the drivers are installed.

Tried it - reinstalled the drivers and still nothing - it says windows recognize the device and under device manager it's listed as unknown device.
tried to go to update the driver manually(pointed it to the usb drivers folder that was created during the installation) and nothing...
Please help

Did you ever solve this issue? I am currently dealing with the same problem on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC.

nope...
I figured I'll format my computer sometime and it will solve the problem.
If you'll find a solution I'll be happy to know

Download Kies Mini from Samsung site. Kies will install the drivers for your phone.

Try This!!!
I still have the same issue, but first try this:
- Download a Live Ubuntu CD and restart with de cd... PLUG THE PHONE.
If recongnaise the phone the problem is windows, you can sleep well.
If not, hardware problem, too bad.
I recently formatted my PC AND WINDOWS WORK PERFECTLY WHEN I PLUG THE PHONE, NON DRIVERS WAS INSTALED. Now i start to install one by one drivers and programs and plug the phone to detect which make the mess.
I hope you understand me, as you see i not an english native person

[Q] HTC Desire S and Windows 8

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade my HTC Desire S to Android 4.0 via the official ICS update from HTC. However, I cannot get my laptop (Windows 8) to interact with my phone.
If I mount the SD card then I can view the contents but HTC sync won't find the phone and in 'Device Manager' the phone is labelled as "Android Phone" with the yellow warning triangle next to it. I have tried to download drivers but can't seem to get them working. Whether that is my fault or the laptops fault I am unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
benandrews54

Search for Windows 8 drivers in the main Android Development thread of XDA. I would have give you a link but it is hard via Tapatalk. I have 2 Windows 8 machines and it works perfect on both of them

Cheers, I'll have a look now and let you know if it works or not.

HTC drivers are not yet compatible with win 8, I was having the same problem you shud use older version of windows.
with out the drivers sync cannot access the phone
When win 8 is officially released; HTC will release a compatible driver
This might work try once

I found a fix for this... Follow these steps here:

Then install your drivers like normal.
Let me know if this helped!

That link is dead.

Searched and found multiple 'fixes' but none of them work for me.
Tried:
Restarting Windows 8 into "Disable driver signature enforcement" mode but HTC drivers still terminate as "not compatible with this version of Windows". cant post link, search "Installing Fastboot/ADB drivers in Windows 8"
Installing drivers via device manager but "Windows was unable to install your Android phone".
DL and installed full SDK but 'SDK Manager.exe' flashes up and closes with no further notice when trying to run.
Despite post count I'm not a noob, I am however starting to feel like one! I thought I knew what I was doing but I just can't find compatible drivers to get Windows 8 to recognise my Android so I can run ADB and Fastboot.
Appreciate some have no issues (and that's wonderful for you) but this is driving me crazy! Can someone please post a link to USB drivers that work with Windows 8 x64 and the Desire S.

I have managed to use adb and fastboot with the SDK only without any additional drivers. Try to run it in compatibility mode

Thanks, I tried that under both XP and 7 mode to no joy. It's not just this one PC, I can't get it to work on any of my (3) Win 8 machines!
For the SDK, I dl and unzipped the (almost 400Mb package) with WinRAR. With Java install, Elaipse works fine but I cannot get 'SDK Manager.exe' to run. I tried to run from both GUI and CLI but not even an error message.
Device Manager still shows exclamation mark under 'Android Device'.
I even tried to run the HTC Sync Tool but this failed at the USB driver stage. Nothing seems to work
Very frustrating as I have a custom ROM which keeps powering down randomly so I need a reload very soon.

Edit reread the whole post

I was having a lot of trouble with windows 8 x64 and jugg1es pointed me to the guide posted by .blAcK. Worked perfectly for me. Tried it on 2 different PC's. I'm not sure why it's not working for you though. I used the x64 files posted by the author of the guide.

Fastboot doesn't work on Windows 8.1

So before installing Windows 8.1, adb and fastboot worked beautifully, however after grabbing the update from the Metro store, fastboot doesn't work, my phone isn't recognized. It says something about "failed enumeration" in the device manager. I've tried reinstalling HTC Sync and redownloading it from HTC's site ti get the latest drivers (after which I uninstall HTC Sync of course)
I've also tried Koush's drivers but neither installs the fastboot driver.

I have been trying to get it recognized in fastboot for pas four hours without any luck.. Prior to this, I also had W8 with working fastboot and now I get the same error as well. I tried numerous times, even uninstalled all my drivers (except for display and mouse) to do a clean driver reinstall, but without luck :/

Hi, can you guys try this method if you still in windows 8.1???
I personally having a samsung phone and I also having this problem after upgraded to windows 8.1 but now I'm back to windows 8 so I just cannot test it. After test please report back the results to me and I really hope it works. Thanks~
By the way, can you guys tell me your phone model???

Well, I tried something similar, but whenever I uninstalled the usb port from device manager, it reinstalled back and reported that the device is not recognized..
I've got HTC One and its drivers don't work on 8.1. However, I installed HTC drivers (by installing and uninstalling HTC Sync Manager - possibly the lamest method that exists) on Vista and it instantly recognized the phone. So the five hours on 8.1 could have been saved by spending circa 3 minutes on Vista.
But on some forum somebody mentioned that you can use live CD of linux and it will get recognized easily

Thanks for your fast reply. Seems that even Microsoft is providing free update for windows 8 but a phone that unable to flash by using bootloader is kinda useless for unofficial ROM users like us.
I have something don't understand from your post. You mentioned that install and uninstall the sync manager on Vista but why not back to 8? The drivers will work on 8 right? I formatted my computer back to 8 and now finally the windows recognize back my phone.
Other than that, do you still have the link to the live CD forum??

Well, my primary PC is my laptop with 8.1, but I've got desktop as well with dual-booting Vista and 8.1 and it is way faster to do it on vista, than to partition HDD and install Windows 8. Also I'm not dev or some tinkerer, so I don't need to use fastboot that often.
To answer the second question, I closed all tabs regarding the drivers on 8.1 as soon as I did what I needed on Vista, so I'm afraid I don't have the link. I could probably find it somehow using my internet history, but I spent several hours browsing various forums, so it would take me an eternity...

how to avoid usb not recognized in download mode

hi, after a year of trying custom roms i learned that the most suitable rom is the stock rom after uninstalling bloatware and system apps u dont use
and i learned that the reason that message usb not recognized appers after connecting ur phone to pc in doanload mode is that you are runnig a windows other than windows 7.
download mode works only on windows 7 ( with experience )
so , to be sure , i advice to install samsung kies from official site , install it and make sure to check install mobile drivers and then restart pc

You do realize none of this is true?
In MY experience, Download mode works with every windows! I have personally tried XP, 7, 8 and 8.1. Sir, you'r argument is false and invalid... Reported...
Reason for reporting: Post contains non-useful and false information that is misleading and simply wrong and might end up being harmful as Kies is not only incompatible with legacy devices but also known to be harmful, proved by a large number of devices being soft bricked, thank you.

See proof screenshots in attachments.
Fun fact. I didn't download Kies, i didn't download any drivers, i didn't use any tricks. All i did is this:
1. Run ODIN 4.42
2. Boot in Download Mode
3. Plug in USB
Oh! Right! Also, you might want to enable automatic updates in your system... you know, so windows can automatically install the drivers?
And thats it...

The issue is that whenever I connect my phone to the computer and when I try to transfer data between the PC on PHONE it always gives me this error "The attached device is not functioning".
FYI, I can access everything on the mobile through the PC but can't transfer anything.
I tried on windows 10, 8 and even 7 and I get same error on all of them, please anyone has a solution for this just help me how to fix it.
Also, my Mobile was on stock ROM and now on custom ROM >> LeeDroid V2 and same error on both ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks sir for your concern, I think I figured out how to transfer or copy the backup from android device to PC.
I thought earlier that it could be done by simple copy and paste but I was wrong as it should be done through ADB and by typing a special command and the phone should be booted into TWRP's recovery mode
Anyways, thanks for your reply and hope that could help anyone else with the same issue.
