What does "Device Descriptor Request Failed" mean?
This is in reference to my Nexus 7 2013 when I plug it into my PC. My Windows machines refuse to recognize it. When I search manually for the USB drivers and point it to the proper folder it doesn't load and stays on the unknown device. This is getting frustrating.
I'm trying to get my PC to recognize my Nexus 7 when I am in TWRP or the Bootloader but it's not working. This is the only way I can send files to my device.
Does anyone have any advice they can give me?

I started to have this issue since I have formatted my PC (I've got Windows 7 Professional).
If I connect the device without the debugging USB activated, the PC doesn't recognize it, such as the device doesn't exist. Neither the classic sound which the PC does when you connect something to the USBs ports. Nothing, without the debugging USB my PC doesn't recognize nothing, and the device only goes charging, the notify of the USB connected doesn't appear, it could be because the PC doesn't recognize the device.
But if I activate the USB debugging my PC recognizes something. The auto-installation from Windows Update for the drivers starts (it says "Nexus 5"), but it doesn't find any driver on Windows Update. So I've downloaded the original Google USB drivers. I've gone on Computer -> Device -> Right click on Nexus 5 -> Update of the drivers. So I selected the unzipped folder but Windows doesn't install the drivers. It says it's impossibile to find the driver for the device, but I've selected the correct folder!
I've also tried to download the drivers with SDK Manager, but even in this way Windows doesn't install the drivers.
I've also tried to download the "naked drivers" from XDA, but that was the same result.
So I don't know how to do. Why Windows doesn't recognize my device?
My Nexus 5 is still with the stock firmware.

I had this issue with my first N7 2013. I ended up RMAing it because of touchscreen issues, and the replacement never had the issue. From my experience, I can only deduce it's a problem with the hardware.
hello
i'm trying to connect my nexus 5 with to my laptop (dell xps 1340 running windows 7) and nothing shows on "my computer".
i go to the setting - storage - usb computer connection, and check the first one (MTP). unplug and plugit again and nothing shows on my computer.
so i tried to uninstall the nexus 5 on the device manager, unplun and plug, then right click and update software driver, browse computer for driver software, then i navigate to the latest google usb driver that i download from google, and when i try to install the driver it says: "windows was unable to install your nexus 5".
what should i do?

Try changing the USB connection to PTP and see if that works for you. If it doesn't, use this tool to help set up your USB connection. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-0-t2517778 You don't have to actually root or unlock anything so the process should be pretty easy. All you need to do is click the Full Driver Installation Guide button and i will guide you through the process.

I am trying to resurrect my HTC One S. I accidentally wiped it without making a backup and using CMW.
The main issues I am having are as follows:
- E:/cannot mount sdcard
- When plugged into a computer through usb, Windows gives me a "Device Descriptor Request Failed" box and says my device is unrecognisable (code 43).
- I have tried but cannot get the device to show up in adb. (I have installed many different drivers, HTC, google's driver from sdk, etc.)
Is this device as good as garbage now? I can load it into CMW and in bootloader just fine.
If more information is needed please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help
I'm trying to unlock my mate 8 but when I plug it into my pc it says USB device not recognized. Are there drivers I need to install first? If so where would I find them? I have developer options and enabled USB debugging.
I tried manually installing the driver using these instructions https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-install-drivers-manually but it will not work. It shows up as unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) and then when I manually install drivers to that usb device it says "windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.". This is incredibly frustrating someone please help me out. Can you link me a driver that actually works and automatically involved?
Thanks
please help
If you connect your phone to your pc, especially in Windows, you will notice about Windows asking to run driver downloader. Just run it and it will download the software. Once it is installed, your phone is connected.

Hey I downloaded the hisuite from huawei's website and it properly installed the drivers. Thanks for the advice though!
I'm trying to get my PC to recognize my Asus Nexus 7 2013 when I plug into Windows. I need it so I can send it zip files. However, when I plug it in it gives me an error that it's an unrecognized device.
Currently I can't get into the OS and need to do this via Recovery or Fastboot. However, because Windows can not recognize it I can not send it any zip files to flash.
Is there a way to get around this? I've tried other drivers and they don't work as well.
I've been installing the Google USB driver too.
