[Q] Ugh... another Nexus 5 driver issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never seen this before and I'm coming up empty on my forum searches.
I can't get Windows 7 to install drivers for my N5. Usually device manager will show something related to nexus/adb/etc but this time all I get is an "Unknown Device" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
I've tried everything I can think of including the steps outlined in Nexus Root Toolkit as far as deleting any traces of old drivers and still nothing.
Anyone know what's going on?

nevermind, got it to work finally. I don't really understand how driver installation works but I got it to work by changing to a different usb port.

Trying to get ADB to work..

Okay so I am about to go insane trying to get this to work. I've got a MyTouch3g which I just flashed cyanogens 5.0.7 this past week and haven't been happier.
However I was trying to get ADB to work on my new laptop, as my desktop machine is out of commission at the moment. I remember how much of a pain it was to get working, but this is getting ridiculous.
I am running Win 7 64bit with all windows updates. I downloaded the Android SDK and followed all the instructions to the T from cyanogen wiki. Except when I plug my phone in, it reports USB device is not recognized and has 'malfunctioned'. I don't even get anything reported under Device Manager except 'Unknown Device'. From here I've tried updating the device via numerous google reports of 64 bit usb drivers to no success. I also tried the Motorola Droid drivers for the 64 bit via a installer and still no success. I even tried the HTC Sync which still, no success.
I tried using USBDeview and removing any HTC and going from those steps as well, there were two HTC devices listed from when it previously worked fine on my 4.2 cyanogens, and again this didn't help the matters.
At this point I am wondering if something is wrong with my phone? I cannot even mount my SDCard anymore.

[Q] Issues with drivers (I know...I know....)

I have seen so many threads on this it is making my head spin...I am now completely confused as to what I am screwing up.
The Nexus is my sixth Android phone and I have never had this issue with any of them. No matter what I do, following any guide, I can not get this thing to show in Windows as an ADB Device...It always comes through as an Interface.
I just can not get this thing to recognize in ADB as a device...Anyone have any advice on things to try?
Have ADB, Fastboot, PDANet, SDK/goog drivers on system...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
On a Nexus 4G W/Sprint
I don't have a Nexus S 4G myself so I have to guess at what's happening. It sounds like the computer doesn't have the right USB drivers installed for the 4G phone. From everything I've read, installing PDANet provides the drivers you need. So I'd suggest uninstalling PDANet, checking to make sure you have the latest version (because the 4G is a pretty new phone) and reinstalling it and make sure the USB drivers that come with it get installed.

[Q] USB drivers not recognized

I recently replaced my Nexus S with another one and now that I have the "new" one, the USB drivers for ADB and also mountable storage are not working on one of my computers which was working with the old device. It is a problem specific to just this one machine as I am able to successfully mount the USB drive on my laptop using the same cable.
I have the Google SDK drivers, however when I tried to point the unrecognized "Nexus S" under "Other Devices" in Device Manager to that driver folder, it finds nothing compatible. When I reboot into the bootloader I am successfully able to execute commands via ADB over USB, but nothing works when the phone OS is booted. I've tried following a guide I found on Google Groups, and I got the drivers working for a minute after rebooting the phone a few times, but now they are back to not working and I can't seem to change that.
The phone is rooted and running a stock ROM of Android 4.1.2. Any suggestions?
Had the same problem, very annoying. Are you still using the original cable of the NS? I replaced mine with a quality one and that solved all my issues. You could also try to reinstall the usb drivers and/or flash a different rom and see if that fixes it.

The cable I am currently using seems to work just fine when connected to my laptop, so I'm inclined to think the cable itself is okay. I'm pretty sure that the issue is in my drivers, somewhere.
I had 3 cables that all seemed to work fine at my laptop so I ruled out the cable as well. My phone worked fine everywhere but my gfs phone did not, so it had to be her phone. But after buying a new cable eventually it was solved.
But try to deinstall all usb drivers then reboot. The drivers will be installed again automatically (except the fast boot and adb of course), see if that works.

Unfortunately, I did not. I ended up replacing the Nexus S with a different one and the problem went away. :/

Please Help - MTP USB Device

Just got a HTC One SV this afternoon for the missus. (I am a Note 2 owner) and part of the deal to get her away from wanting an iPhone 5 was to convince her Android was the way to go. Of all the phones she looked at, she chose the HTC One SV because of its size ...
Brought it home with the promise I would set it up like my phone for her and all would be good.
Proceeded to follow instructions found in the HTC One SV section of these forums on unlocking the bootloader and so forth.
What a complete and utter nightmare HTC put their customers through for a simple unlock! Went to their site, followed the instructions, joined, emailed, got my "token" <-- what a joke! and proceeded with the next set of instructions which was to place a TWRP img on the phone.
Next thing I know windows pops up and says Device driver was not successfully installed. ? MTP USB Device ...
This I dont get at all. When I first plugged the phone into the PC the forst thing Windows did was install the drivers. The phone popped up in windows and I could access the internal storage.
I've installed HTC Driver & SyncManager but still whenever the phone is plugged in I get the MTP error and no phone in windows. So how am I to finish setting up this phone now?
The only reason for this post is I am exhausted, I've been searching these forums and the net for an answer, and I'm completely at my wits end.
I have an unlocked HTC One SV which may as well be bricked if I can't access it via PC. Maybe I should of let her have that damn iPhone 5 after all ...
Massive props to Seanie280672 who helped me get a recovery.img onto the phone. Phew!
Missus won't be giving me any grief over not getting an iPhone 5
That said, even though I managed to somehow connect the phone to the PC, it is still not coming up in windows explorer, and upon connection of the phone (USB) to the PC, windows always throws up the message that the drivers are not installed?
Check device manager and there's the dreaded little yellow astrix next to the mobile device. Somethings amiss here ...
Thx for the help, muchly appreciated. :good:
Since JB all HTC devices are recognized on PC as MTP device. Previous used UMS was kicked out.
Install the latest version of htc driver
I'm in Australia so I got the drivers from HTC.au site:
http://www.htc.com/au/support/news.aspx?p_id=537&p_name=htc-one-sv
The driver file is called setup_2.1.55.0_htc
Is this the latest or is there a different driver I should be using?

have u tried to enable usb debugging? Go to settings > developer options
If your driver is including HTC Sync, you should be fine.
You can uninstall Sync afterwards, driver for the phone will still remain.
Strangely deleting Sync did the trick. Plug in the phone and no pop ups saying drivers are not installed. Phone is now showing up in My Computer.
Yup, not the first time, Sync makes the problem.

Bricked OP7P USB Issues

Hi all,
I am have bricked my device, its in fastboot mode but wont do anything anymore.
Ive tried literally everything possible, ive read numerous manuals, seen tons of video tutorials but nothing works.
The main issue I am facing now is that MSMDownloader tool does not recognize my phone because of an Driver issue.
However, whatever I am doing I cant get the correct driver to function on my Windows 10 machine.
Whatever I do, it either does not recognize the device, or shows it as Kedacom USB Device / Android Bootloader Interface.
I have manually removed the drivers from the device manager as well as removing them manually with pnputils, it does remove the driver and then shows it as Android Device.
If i then scan the folders (whole windows is in testing mode like many manuals tell me to) it just wont install the driver and if i do that manually using pnputils it changes nothing.
The only moment it changes is when I connect to the internet and search for a driver and the old samer driver will be installed.
I have tried the OnePlus driver installer, I have tried the All In One tool, I tried the Qualcomm QDLoader HS USB Driver, I tried it totally disconnected, i rechecked if i was running cmd and the msmdownload tool as administrator, i have rebooted and updated my pc, rebooted and tried again.
I am pretty sure its an driver issue, but apparently whatever I do i cant seem to be able to fix it, and another way of fixing this phone is probably not gonna work as whatever I do with the volume, power buttons, how many times i reboot i just keep getting the same Fastboot/Download screen.
Does anyone have any other idea, am i missing something? I really have no idea. I have followed several manuals step by step, googled and found people with similar issues tried those solutions, i am now busy for like over 12 hours and am really getting the idea that i cant fix it

It helped me revive my phone without having to deal with the USB issues and MSMDownloader.
