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

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 found in some pages that HTC has already uploaded their HTC Sync and that is now compatible with Windows 8. However, still not working for me in 8 Pro.

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
Try this:
[Solution]Windows 8 - ADB/fastboot driver problem solved!!
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

Do these drivers work with Desire HD? I'm trying to get fastboot to work, but I'm unable to do so without the proper drivers.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, there is a new version of the driver, at least in the 2.4.11.0 installer. You can find it here.

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!
Sorry if this is reposted or something.
So I installed HTC Sync Manager. After it not working with my Liberty Sense 6 ROM, I uninstalled it. What's leftover is that Device Manager keeps using the Mount point driver from the HTC Manager, and won't let me install the Android Composite ADB Driver. Now my ADB won't detect the phone. So what do I do?
You can't right click on it in Device Manager and remove it? There's also a "remove files from disk" (or similar) option when you do that. Or update driver and manually point to the adb driver instead

Hi guys, I recently installed windows 8.1 and now my N5 shows up in device manager as ACER ADB Interface and I can't acces MTP , I didn't had this problem with windows 7 , it worked perfectly back than ( i have unlocked and rooted my N5 with windows 7 without any issues ) . What can I do to make it work with windows 8.1 ?
I had the same, you have to go into Device Manager and roll back the driver to the Google one. Proper PITA
I can't do it, the roll back option is grayed out
I have managed to make it work, nevermind .

I rolled the driver back, but it keeps updating to it. I've uninstalled and deleted the driver, yet it keeps reinstalling it. Somehow, my MTP connection started working again. Not sure how though. If I knew which KB update it was, I'd uninstall it from there.

The other option is to manually change the driver in Device Manager from the ACER one to the Google one. I think it's happened as M$ have the ACER driver digitally signed whereas the Google one isn't so it'll always choose the signed driver...

I'm not sure how to do that, because, of course, if you try to update it, it will say that the Acer one installed is already the best driver. And after uninstalling it, upon plugging it back in, it updates to the Acer driver automatically again.

You have to manually check and select 'choose from a list' and you'll see the MTP option as well as the Acer one. Select the MTP one and you're good to go

Hmmm, I've only ever used the Google drivers from the SDK until this stupid ACER one appeared. Managed to get back to it now so it's all good. Perhaps download the Google driver and then point to it?

This worked for me
Hi guys, I had the same problem. My phone was configured as MTP but when i connected to Win 7 it would appears in the Device Manager list as "ADB", this wouldn't allow me to transfer files so what worked for me was:
1- Connect your Mobile to the PC and it appears as ADB Driver (In the device manager screen), rignt click on ADB and select Browse my computer for driver software.
2- Choose let me pick a from list of devices on my computer and choose the option MTP instead of ADB.
3- Did that and problem solve, hope this helps for you !!
Delete this Acer ADB driver when you uninstall it
I have the same issue. Here is what I did and that resolved the issue. Go to "Device Manager" to uninstall the Acer driver. The uninstall window pops up asking you if you want to uninstall it. There is a check box that says "Delete the driver." Make sure you check that off and then go ahead and uninstall it. Once that's done, plug your Nexus 5 back in. The correct MTP driver will now be installed and your computer will recognize the phone normally. Hope this helps.
Experiencing the same on Windows 7...have tried everything suggested
Really hoping someone can help because I've just about had it with this. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have a brand new Nexus 5 16GB. As others have indicated, when I plug my phone into my computer with debugging enabled, it creates an "Android Composite ADB Interface" device listed under "ACER Device" in Device Manager. See attachment.
I have tried every permutation of the 'uninstall driver, manually install Google USB driver' solution, to no avail. The best way I can describe what I'm seeing is that Windows is forcibly categorizing the device as an 'ACER Device' even though the driver files themselves are telling it otherwise.
If debugging is DISABLED, and EITHER MTP or PTP is ENABLED, everything is just fine - the default Windows drivers for those devices kick in, and no 'ACER Device' category is created.
If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP and PTP are DISABLED, when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver, it says that the device could not be installed.
If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP is ENABLED, the 'ACER Device' issue rears its ugly head even when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver.
I've already disabled Windows automatically fetching a driver online, so that's not to blame.
If this is the result of a Windows Update, does anyone know the number of the update so I might try uninstalling it? I can't seem to find it despite searching.
Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks!
