[Q] right drivers - General Questions and Answers

hello, I am trying to get my computer to recognize my xt901. I installed the modem and management drivers on my computer (win xp.) I get a window that wants to find the right drivers for my phone when I plug it in. It can never find the right drivers, and it is connected to the internet. What am I missing?

assuming it's a android device try this http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe

No, I have not. I expected the motorola driver installers to work. I will try that.

try and use the driver in the link i provided it is universal so your phone/tablet should work with it

Computer won't recognize phone

I've installed HTC Sync, the Android SDK, but nothing, I get an error and the computer never recognizes the phone.
Any suggestions?
In the device manager, it says unspecified android device, and I can't install any drivers to fix it.

I would download the android sdk. This has all of the android drivers. Download it and open it to install drivers. Then plug your phone in and select disk drive.

He said he downloaded the SDK in the first post. I would uninstall all, reinstall, reboot, and then use a different port/cable if necessary.
I just saw that. Maybe try the phone on another computer to make sure its not the computer.

trouble installing Samsung USB drivers

whenever I try and install the samsung usb drivers for my S3 the installer always fails with this message: "The MSS installation for SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones V1.4.6.0 has failed."
I had the universal naked drivers installed on this PC before for my tbolt and transformer prime, but it wasn't compatible with the S3 yet. There is an updated universal naked drivers that supports the S3, but when I try and back up my IMEI and put the phone into RMNET+DM+MODEM mode, the naked drivers don't recognize my device. in the regular MTP+ADB the drivers work fine.
so I imagine I need the samsung drivers to install for this to work. does anyone have any ideas how I could get the samsung usb drivers to install properly? I've also tried the V1.5.5.0 version as well and the installer fails as well. I've removed the universal naked drivers and tried to install without it and I still get the error. same thing in windows safemode. I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
has anyone else had trouble with this? and any idea how to get the installer to work? thanks
Lots of people have been having this issue. I'm having it on XP at the moment... until now.
Per another thread I read here (for the Dell Streak, thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291293) you can force Windows to use the generic driver instead of the Samsung one.
Basically, I edited a copy of the INF to match my device info, then entered the info into the [Generic] area of the INF. I then told Windows to allow me to manually select the driver, and pointed it to this INF file. Voila... I now have generic driver support for MTP in XP SP3. I imagine the same thing might work with other versions of Windows, since I'm not really using any non-Windows drivers.

Download and install PDAnet app to your computer, this app will install the driver for you. You have to select "Samsung" during the install. Once done you can uninstall the app but the driver stay.
If PDA net doesn't work for you, go into device manager and select your phone, click on properties, advanced, and install the drivers manually.
So, I came across another way to get the drivers to load without any INF file hacking. If you simply tell Windows (XP in my case) to update the driver, then tell it you will manually point to it, you can find a suitable one in the folder C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\25_escape (after you install the MSS driver pack, of course).
Unfortunately, in my case, I use MediaMonkey to manage this, and it doesn't seem to notice the "difference" between my phone and my wife's (both SGS3s). That's their fault, though... they clearly have some bugs in there.
that's the problem... the MSS pack fails to install. I tried copying the samsung\USB Drivers folder from my desktop (which the driver install worked on) to my laptop and manually pointing to the folder, but it says it can't find a driver for it. kind of odd. I'll have to try the PDA net drivers to see if that will work. thanks for the help guys

Hey guys I followed the correct instructions and downloaded the correct files (cf auto root and Google drivers) but my PC can't find/detect my device and because of that when I run the windows command it stays on "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Is there something I did wrong? Do I need to download something else? Any help would be much appreciated

I take it you have created a path in windows /android-sdk/platform-tools ?
Have you disabled usb driver signature authentication if you`re on Win8/8.1?
You could try removing the device in device manager and also uninstalll all drivers, then dis- and reconnect to the pc and install the google usb drivers from the sdk manualy.
ADB debugging enabled?

Can't see Nexus 5 folder - Windows 8

Hi, I've been trying to connect my rooted Nexus 5 to my laptop for a few hours now with no luck. It works for my desktop but it doesn't for my work laptop. Both machines recognize it as Google ADB interface in device manager but I can't see the folder on my laptop. I tried with and without USB debugging, MTP/PTP and I also installed SDK tools but none of them worked. When I try to uninstall the drivers, so I can reinstall them, it does the uninstall, I plug in the usb again and the device is there like the drivers were never uninstalled. I've attached a screenshot with the driver and the date. Any thoughts on what's causing the issue?

Uninstall all drivers for android devices (and make sure you choose the option to remove the files), reboot then plug it in, what does it do? Try the universal drivers?
Also try turning off USB debugging if you have it on.
If you look through the first link in my signature there's a thread on troubleshooting driver issues

I've checked that guide already as it is first to pop on google search. I uninstalled and removed software as you said and it installed Android ABD Interface drivers now. Which I imagine are the same but not device specific. Still not response from my phone though. I can see it under Devices and Printers as well but no folder pops. It works on Windows 7 at home and I tried it on a machine with Windows XP as well and it works fine.

Not sure then. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47165389&postcount=3
If not then try asking in the driver thread.
Enable USB debugging mode if its not on. I usually turn on and off and then connect it to your PC.

OP wants to connect in MTP, not for adb I think lol. No need to turn it on, and on some devices I've had in the past it won't show up if you have it on :/

Please search for the appropriate drivers for your phone and manually install them. Then try connecting your phone.

Download the correct drivers and after connecting the phone to the PC/Laptop, go to Device Manager and right-click the entry with the yellow triangle, then Update Driver, Browse My Computer For Drivers, then Let Me Pick From A List of Available Drivers On My Computer and then choose the drivers you downloaded and install.
If still facing issues, driver signing may be an issue, so search the internet on how to install drivers after turning off driver signing on the PC/Laptop.
