Can't get One S USB driver installed!

I've tried the following:
1) Installing HTC Sync Manager and HTC Sync (the older version of Sync Manager)
2) Installing the drivers included with hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit.
Neither works. Both methods result in a device labeled "E:" showing up under "Portable Devices" in Device Manager, but adb devices shows no devices, and if I choose on the phone to use it as a disk drive, it does not show up under My Computer.
I previously had a Galaxy Nexus and I had the adb usb drivers installed for that. The only thing I can think of is that the computer is somehow still defaulting to those drivers instead of using the HTC drivers, but I don't know how to solve that problem, if that is even the problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Oh, and I also had the android-sdk installed for my Galaxy Nexus. Any chance that completely uninstalling it would help?

I had the same problem but i just figured out how to make my PC to see the HTC One S
(My Windows 7 is in Italian, so I don't know the exact translation for the links)
Start -> Right click on Computer -> Manage -> Devices -> Select the HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have in "DVD/CD-ROM", right click on it and "Deactivate" it, then you have to right click the other HTC Android Phone USB Device you will have under "Disc units" or something like that and right click it, then "Software update" (I repeat, I don't know how the buttons will be in English since I'm on Italian windows, but it'd be similar) and select the second button "Search driver software in my computer" then again the button below "Choose manually" and then just click on "Disc unit" and finally "Next" and it should work...
Hope it helped!

Try this first:
Install drivers on you PC, as you have done. Also don't forget to enable "Debugging mode" in settings. After that, when you connect phone to PC, don't select anyhing, leave it at default of "just charging".
If after the above it still won't work, then you will have to:
1) Uninstall the drivers that you installed from the toolkit.
2) You will need to change how windows handles installation of drivers, once the device is connected.
a) Right click on "Computer", then properties.
b) From the left, click on Advances System Settings
c) Click on Hardware tab.
d) Click on the second button "Device Installation Settings"
e) If you have "Yes..." selected, select "No" instead.
f) Now select "Install driver from Win Update if it is not found on my computer and save!
3) Restart you PC
4) Go to the Hasoon's All-in-One Toolkit folder and install HTC drivers again. Just make sure your phone isn't connected at this time.
5) After intallation is done, just connect you phone. Make sure "debbuging icon" is present on the phones notification bar and that is it, you don't need to enable usb storage mode.
Hope it helps.

How do I install Alcatel driver?

I don't know how to install it, all I see after downloading and upzipping is "MTK_Qualcomm_ADB" folder, inside are "install.vbs" file, "uninstall.vbs" file, Qualcomm and MTK folders. I I tried to click on "install.vbs" file, nothing happend, so I tried to install through Windows Device Manager, using the ".inf" file in the Qualcomm folder, but failed. I've just bought my phone for 1 week and I am new to Android, so don't curse me...
P/S: I read this instruction on reddit and got stuck in step 3.
1. Plug device into computer, wait for "normal" MTP drivers to install. You'll probably get an error about the ADB interface driver failing.
2. Open the notifications dropdown and select "Connected as a media device" (was the default for mine).
3. Select "Drivers CD-ROM" from the USB Computer Connection list.
4. Open My Computer and open new "USB Driver" drive (was E on my machine).
5. Double-click Setup.vbs, then click Install on the "Android USB Driver Manager" screen. (Click Uninstall to uninstall the driver)

Either 1) Plug in the device and when it prompts for a driver THEN point it to where the inf is or 2) install the driver zip mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745

Thanks. I did it!

Fastboot will not detect my device while rooting

I've been trying for the past couple of days to root my Oneplus One. I started with this tutorial: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471) which is featured in the FAQ (which I've read through) and I've gotten stuck at one location.
You can test fastboot by connecting your device to your PC while booted into fastboot mode (power + volume up) and issuing this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
It should return your device serial number, if so, fastboot is working.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The ADB command appears to be working, but when I boot into fastboot mode (and when I'm not in it as well), the PC does not detect the phone. I've tried connecting it to multiple USB ports, and I'm using the official Oneplus One cable, so I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do.
However, I feel like I've identified where the source of the error is. If you see here: (http://i.imgur.com/IE1Bxjs.png), you can see that the phone is being detected under Portable Devices. In all of the tutorials I've looked through so far, it's been detected under something like "Android Phone" or "ADB Interface". I've tried various things to fix this, the most common of which is installing drivers onto/for the phone. I've tried the one here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413293), which I know is for Archos phones, but should work similarly, as I tried both the Universal ADB driver and the Google one, from the SDK Manager. I kept getting an error telling me that: "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device."
I've also tried the one here: (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/) (let me know if external links aren't allowed and I'll remove it.) This doesn't seem to work either, as I get this error (http://i.imgur.com/CLATXsl.png) when it tells me to:
If you cannot get any driver to work, you will need to force installation. Instead of choosing “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer” in the previous step, you will choose “Browse for driver software on your computer” and manually find the directory where you installed Koush’s drivers.
The location on your hard drive looks something like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Universal Adb Drivers\
Windows will then install the drivers. From now on, whenever you connect the Android device with debugging enabled, Koush’s drivers will load in place of the ones that failed to work.

And now I'm posting here, praying that someone will have some sort of idea what to do. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated,

EDIT: Managed to get it working, messing around with the drivers in device manager while in Fastboot mode seemed to work.

Feel your pain, I've been thru some pain myself with some weird issue, posted here yesterday. Though, my issue is different from yours, I have some ideas for you.
You say that adb works, so I assume your usb cable & PC are OK here.
I aslo assume that your Device Manager screenshots taken when connected to your phone in device mode (rom running). Don't worry about what you see in Device Manager just yet. Your goal is to make fastboot work, right. Note: Adb works in recovery mode and device mode, but not in fastboot mode. Fastboot works only in fastboot mode.
You could try this, put your phone in fastboot mode, then connect to your PC. Now, see what in your Device Manager. In my case, the phone is under Android Device>Android Bootloader Interface and I use Google driver. Then, try "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is detected.
If not, play with the driver in Device Manager (uninstall, rescan, install another). No need to unplug the phone. After the driver changed, see your Device Manager changed, and then try "fastboot devices".
I played with the driver changing a few time and got fastboot to work. I hope you get it to work too.

"error: no device/emulator found" in fastboot

As the title says.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my XZs so I can root it.
My device is listed normally when turned on w/ the command window, but in fastboot mode it disappears and when I try a command, an error comes up saying ""error: no device/emulator found". (see attached image)
As far as I'm concerned, I have all the necessary drivers, I've tried on another PC, the result is always the same.
And when I try to change the drivers (Via Device Manager>Update Driver>Browse My Computer...>Let me pick...>Have Disk...)
I get yet another error saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device..."
Can someone please give me a solution. This has been asked before on XDA by someone else (that thread has no replies). It seems it's always us little guys with actual problems which need solving who get little to no help at all here.

Reinstall driver again.

It doesn't work. The problem is I want to install the Google USB drivers for my Xperia phone but Windows 10 will not let me and driver signing seems to be impossible to disable (currently typing this on my laptop while it's in test mode).

1. Turn off your phone. Boot in to fastboot mode and plug the cable. After your heard the sound from the computer for new device found. Go to device manager look to usb S1 device. Reinstall driver by manual choose (do not search) from the menu with the name is Android Google. When prompt for install. Choose install anyway. After successful install driver, please check status from flashtool to make sure your device show connected in fastboot.
2. Change the usb port. Sometimes you get problem with usb port 2.0 and 3.0
Hope you can fix it asap.

Nothing by the name of 'Android Google' appears in the menu when selecting new drivers.
I clicked on 'S1boot Fastboot' under 'other devices' in Device Manager and clicked on update driver
>Browse Computer
>Let me pick
- and then there's something similar called 'Android Device' but no 'Android Google' so I click on that
- then I get three options:
Android ADB Interface Version 11.0.0.0
Android Bootloader Interface Version 11.0.0.0
Android Composite ADB Interface Version 11.0.0.0
None of them worked when I tried.

I think the solution is to have the phone on, with USB debugging enabled, connect via USB to PC, test your adb devices again, if all good, go ahead and
Rich (BB code):
adb reboot fastboot
This is because some phones use Fastbootd (notice the d..).

Cannot recognise device in fastboot

Win10, in fastboot mode the device cannot be found, but it can be found in adb. I installed drivers from Sony's website. In fastboot mode the device manager shows under 'other', in adb it is normal and shows 'Sony sa0116 ADB interface driver'. As far as I know the driver is the same for adb and fastboot...my Pixel is recognised with no problem, only this Sony...anyone knows how to get it recognised in fastboot mode?

Sorted the driver issue... didn't install it properly...

Go to Windows device manager look for one called x-boot or android (your xperia) and open the driver details.
Klick update driver and next choose look for software on computer. Next window gives you the option to pick one of common devices. Install the sony driver for adb interface.
Could give a zip of it if needed.
After the manual driver update it should recognize your phone immediately - if you have checked the "fastboot devices" prompt before just repeat that (no reboot or reconnection necessary)

Win 10 seems to have problems. I downgraded to win 7 all sorted.

I'm having the same issue with my Xperia X compact. Windows 10 says it's installed best driver for my device but in device manager theres a warning next to the driver and device is not recognised under ADB devices. I remember it being simple the last time I did it under windows 7. Is there an alternative method for flashing Twrp recovery other than ABD?
Thanks
Dave

unfortunatly, adb is the only way to install twrp.
the drivers (i attached) [from Sony by the way] need to be installed.
You need to install this driver/ file : android_winusb.inf
then boot your phone to fastboot (volume + [up] only) or with adb (adb reboot fastboot) and windows should detect "a new device" which (normaly) is called "android" with exclamation mark.
Tap "update driver"
Search on PC
select from list
ADB interface
Samsung Android ADB Interface is the driver you need to select for windows to detect the phone
And then theoretically it should work.
If that doesn't work, look if a USB port (either PC/Phone/Cable) is broken/damaged etc.
