ADB Drivers for EVO?

I have been doing Android development for a while on my work laptop that runs Windows Server 2003 64bit. Previously I've used a HTC Magic (AT&T) and a Moto Droid (Verizon) for development. Now I also have a EVO that I am trying to use. The problem is that I cannot get ADB to work with it.
System: Windows Server 2003 64 bit (work laptop, no I cannot put Windows <whatever else> on here).
Phone: EVO
Since I have been doing development for some time I already have the SDK, along with the USB drivers.
Here are things I have tried:
1. Plug in EVO. It wants to install ADB drivers. I choose the USB drivers location. Fails.
2. Delete USB Drivers. Redownload them from the SDK. Plug in, choose drivers, fail.
3. Plug in, allow drivers to fail, I have the ! in device manager for ADB. Unistall the ADB driver. Scan for hardware changes. Install ADB drivers. Fail.
4. Uninstall the Motorola USB Driver package. Try all above steps, fail.
5. Try to install HTC Sycn, Server 2003 not supported, fail.
What else can I try to get ADB working? Seems funny that it would work perfectly with a HTC Magic and a Droid but not this EVO.

Eureka! I found an obscure post on some crappy forum to a link for what someone called HTC Evo 64 bit drivers, so I thought what the hay, lets try them.
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yd61xorii
The folder of drivers in there was really called Vista x86 but, still worth a shot.
It worked perfectly. The phone doesnt say ADB in device manager now but "My HTC". ADB is working fine.
Hopefully someone in the same boat as me will happen across this and it will save them time.

Thank you! Saved me a BUNCH of time! You're the man!

The file appears to be unavailable on that site now, could someone please re-host this ASAP? I can't get anything else to work and I'd really appreciate it if this turned out to be my fix. Thanks.

just grab HTC Sync from the HTC www site. It will install the drivers you need.

I can't connect on VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. How did you fix your problem? Did you find drivers? Thanks.

wow. never had a problem on windows 7 or ubuntu getting the evo to be recognized. but, head to work, plug it in, and no go. install the sdk and update it, no go. i was baffled, because i've never had a problem before. but, this file did the trick! thanks!

Unfortunately for those of us who are behind a proxy and can't get at the SDK file, going through the stupid SDK to get the driver is very annoying.

[Q] Epic won't root or show in 'My Computer'

Hi.
Have Boostmobile Epic that came unrooted.
Downloaded drivers and phone shows in device manager under com ports.
Tried 11 USB cables then saw a video from qbking and bought a blackberry to use its cable making it 12 cables, none work.
Tried 2 computers with Vista and Win 7 x64.
Epic won't communicate with either comp with debugging on or off.
As i said in topic, one click root won't work. Says Phone is not connected.
I also cannot sideload content onto SD card because it does not show in My Computer.
It has been flashed to boost so i assume it has communicated with a PC in the past.
What can i do to fix this?

Reboot pc and phone then try again. If that doesn't work then uninstall drivers from pc then install again. Reboot pc after install after reboot plug in epic then wait for it to finish installing drivers then reboot both again then use odin.

You can also connect the phone with usb debugging on, then go into device manager on the computer and look for "other" or samsung android in USB section. Click on that and select update drivers and let windows update search and install drivers...it takes awhile.

just did the uninstall drivers then reboot both thing.
Driver installation shows device ready to use as...
SAMSUNG USB Composite Device
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem #2
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COM5)
All ready to use.
But Still not showing in my computer for file transfer or working in usb debugging mode for root.

Try the update driver choice in device manager. The CDC driver is missing. I think it loads 5 drivers if I remember correctly with USB on...yeah the mass storage driver is missing too. Let Windows update find them all.

Hi, thanks for help.
Just tried uninstalling everything and letting windows find drivers. Windows found a different driver package from S3 studio or something but I still get no mass storage or root.
I've read you can root and install roms without a computer Guess that will have to be my route.
As far as mass storage goes... It's annoying but I pulled the back off and put SD card directly into computer

You are sliding down the pulldown on your epic screen and pushing mount sd card for mass storage right?

Yeah, the robot pic turns from green to orange but it never actually connects to either computer.
Going to my brothers house soon to check his 2 computers, he says his Thunderbolt will only work on one.

Some computers are finicky and will only work on the USB port used to install the drivers. Odin only works on the left side of my laptop and mass storage works on the right...go figure!
The fact that the phone thinks it connects and the computer probably makes the connection noise shows there is still a driver problem. Did you reboot the computer and phone after the full driver installation?

Yes I restarted both several times while installing/uninstalling
Drivers... I have just accepted that I need to remove the card to sideload content.
On a side note, I am now afraid to root my phone and change the roms because I'm on boostmobile and will be unable to connect phone to a computer to fix if something goes wrong.

after you install drivers, reboot, then plug in your phone w debugging on, it should install a bunch of drivers, then take forever on modem, unplug and replug the usb from the phone really fast, this should trip it up into moving to the next device... there should be at least two or three more. If you have GB loaded for some reason the RNDIS drivers are wonky. Make sure you use a USB port on your motherboard, not on a PCI, not on a front port... the drivers are acting weird lately, like they changed em up a bit... idunno... but once you get a setup, dont mess with it! Hope somethin helps... Its almost guaranteed the drivers, unless the Boost is the issue, idunno...

ive had that same problem ever sense ive got the phone, what if you havent given up there is another way for you to connect to your computer. It is very simple and fast it is how i connect now and it works every time.
1. Have computer on and Phone off
2. Boot your phone into ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 (Power/camera/volume down)(it must be this version of clockwork)
3. Go to mounts and storage
4. On the bottom of the menu you must click mount usb storage.
5. Plug your phone into the computer and your computer should recognize your phone now.

Also if your on Vista / Win7 you should run the command line (cmd) or the bat file to root with admin rights: Right click cmd or the run.bat and select run as administrator and that hould help.

Epic 4g Not recognized on Windows 7 64 bit

I'm from the Evo 4G section of xda and just bought an Epic 4G from a friend to play around with. I've rooted and fully customized my Evo 4G and my uncle's Samsung Infuse. So I am not new to the rooting side of these phones. However, I just can't seem to get this to work no matter how hard I try.
Ok so I have done Google searches and sifted through the various "fixes" here on xda....I cannot, no matter what I do, get my epic 4g to be recognized on my Windows 7 64 bit.
I've downloaded and installed about 3 or 4 different USB driver files. I've gone through 2 different cables. I've uninstalled and even updated drivers via Windows. And I've installed and updated Kies. I bought the phone from a friend of mine who had done a full system restore before he gave it to me. So if there were any system issues they should be gone. When I plug in one of the cables the phone shows that the USB cable is connected and I have USB debugging on. But my computer shows "Uknown Device." Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?
I've included screenshots of what my computer shows me. Any help, or reference literature that I may have overlooked, that you guys can provide would be extremely helpful.

There's a few reasons this could be happening. You may want to try different USB ports on your computer or connecting through a USB hub. Also, make sure you're using the official Samsung drivers (you can search for them on XDA).
Otherwise, go to the dialer on the phone and punch in ##8778# and under USB make sure PDA is checked instead of modem. Hope that helps.

I too could never get win7x64 to work but had no problem on other pc running win7x86. I wasted hours trying. Uninstalled everything, removed all references in registry, used usbdevview, device manager, different usb ports, win update, and on and on and on. Gave up since I had other computer and it just worked 1st try. Please pm me if u find the solution. Would still like it to work on 64 bit. My thought is the 64 bit driver, but I hear others are working. :-O

Mine works fine on my 64bit Laptop. I had to update drivers once though since going to GB leak broke it. On my desktop it will only work if connected in the rear USB port.

I've used atleast 3 different computers with 64 bit windows 7, I never did anything special except for download the drivers from samsungs website...

I don't know what it is because I couldn't get the computer to recognize my phone on my uncle's laptop (which runs Vista 32). It kept giving me the same "Unknown Device" message when I went to look at the drivers.

Welcome to the Epic 4g xda section! It just so happens I was looking for Windows 7 64-bit drivers earlier today.
Here's where I found them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067
Then scroll down to the section "2.3 – ROOTING" and you'll find the listed drivers there.

Go here and get the drivers from Samsung:

AFAIK, that package should install the correct drivers for the OS.

I install 32 and 64 bit drivers for the i9000
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I have literally the same problem, phone was reconized and connected fine when i was running xp 32 bit, installed windows 7 64 bit and nothing i do will work. Was your problem ever resolved?

All i can say is try extracting the drivers thru 7zip
then extract the files it gives you
then u should see like a folder and then copy and paste the
folder in the c: program files
and then go back to device manager and then actually manaually search for
drivers and that should work cuz it worked for me im using Windows 8

unfortunately that is one of the exact ways I tried to do it, thanks for the input tho. Just incase I over looked something searching for the driver manually, what sub category should my phone be under in device manager? thx

For those having trouble getting the drivers installed in Win7(x64/x86).
A workaround could be to use WUBI (Ubuntu's windows based installer that adds an option to boot to Ubuntu, while allowing it [Ubuntu] to be uninstalled from windows like a "normal" program).
Install WUBI, boot to Ubuntu, problem solved!
If the point of installing the drivers it to get Odin working...
The WUBI workaround would still work, you would just replace Odin with Heimdall (which is 100x better/more stable than Odin anyway).
I realise this is a lot to do for resolving a driver install problem, but... Heimdall pwns Odin anyway.

Ok I had to do the following inorder for it to work on my windows 7 x64 bit
I download the samsung epic 4g driver samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi
I then used 7zip to extract the file
I then used the msi file and installed it
I then used 7 zip and extracted the samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi file to a directory
I then DISABLE ALL INTERNET ACCESS ON THE LAPTOP BY TURNING OFF WIFI AND OR PULLING THE LAN CABLE OUT THE PC.
I then plug the phone into the pc usb slot
let the pc find the drivers
if it does not find them point to the extracted directory you did above and it will be good.
now do ##8778# and place the bottom into pda and if it cant find drivers point it to the extracted directory.
now turn phone off and go into download mode 1 key and power button and let windows find the drivers

Oh... my... god. I spent hours today trying to figure out how to get this phone I picked up to show me its sd card as a drive. Everyone on the internet seemed to be saying it was the lack of the right drivers, though they all disagreed on what the right drivers were. I tried so many different drivers, no luck.
That above, that I quoted: all it took. Why would it possibly be misconfigured out of the box in such a weird, impossible-to-locate way? Jeez.
(Anyway, I know I'm bumping a super old thread with this first post, but I felt compelled not just to thank this person for restoring my sanity, but also to bump up this thread's relevance for future googlers going as crazy as I was going.)

Driver

What type of drivers are there for the S3?
I understand that you need drivers installed on the computer for it to reecognize the S3
How many driver are there?
Are there any more aside from this?
Where can i download these drivers?
I think ADB has a driver for thisas well?
Thanks!

Here is the link to the Driver package for i747 and i747m (AT&T/Bell/Rogers/Telus) With this, you don't need Keis...unless you want to use Keis. Also, TRY a WINDOWS UPDATE after installing this driver package.
I found their to be side issues on my Win7 and XP pc's....too long a story. If you have issues, I will send you a link.

Are there any custom drivers or drivers for rooted phone, on custom roms etc?
Are there different kinds/type, I recall reading about ADB drivers or ADB connections.
Can you also send me the link to the issues with the drivers?

If/when you need ADB (I don't use it) then just look around for ADB. I don't have a link for that.
When I first connected my S3 to my Win7, XP, 2nd XP machine, each one had an issue with the MTP protocol. This is what's used to transfer files to and from phone internal and external storage. I did my homework and massive experimenting and solved the issues. (pretty pathetic really) I just don't have a turn key absolute solution but here are some tips. Try one or all of these till it works...and it WILL!
(Backup your PC before attempting and use at your own risk)
XP
- plug your Ss in via usb
- install the samsung drivers
- after any/each of these steps, unplug/replug usb S3 to PC
- check Device Manager in XP for any Yellow exclamation marks. If there are none, then go see if you can transfer large files (eg mp3) to your S3 and back via USB
- if you can then your done
- if not, download this and install
- if it's still not working, (which I doubt) then update windows. After the Samsung drivers are installed on some windows machines, windows updates provides a specific update that helps. I watched it happen/work on 2 machines.
- still not working, get ready....sounds crazy...but install Windows Media Player 11. It is tied into the MTP framework somehow. This is the version I used
Win7
- plug your Ss in via usb
- install the samsung drivers
- after any/each of these steps, unplug/replug usb S3 to PC
- check Device Manager in Win7 for any Yellow exclamation marks. If there are none, then go see if you can transfer large files (eg mp3) to your S3 and back via USB
- if you can then your done
- if it's still not working, (which I doubt) then update windows. (remember to unplug/replug usb after.
- install wmp11 or higher
- if it's still not working, try this file (sorry...can't elaborate on it)
- STILL NOT WORKING...doubt it...but last chance, download this file and place it into c/windows/inf directory and reboot.

[Q] Cannot initiate USB data connection on GS3 (rooted, CM10; Win 7)

A few weeks after rooting and installing CM10 on my GS3, it stopped recognizing any form of USB data connection. It still charges from both computer and wall adapter, but I cannot initiate a data transfer or recognize my device using ADB.
I have tried:
three different OEM Samsung cables (from SG3/SG4 phones)
all the ports on two different Win 7 laptops
all the ports on an Ubuntu desktop
enabling or disabling USB debugging
with different combinations each time. No "USB connection" dialog has shown up on the phone, and no "new device" dialog has shown up on any of the computers. I know that I can get ADB working with a different Android phone (HTC Inspire 4G) so I know that my main laptop has USB ports that work and the cables I've tried work as well, so I'm left to assume that the issue is with the GS3. External visual inspection does not suggest the USB port on the phone is damaged, and the phone is only a year old, so I don't believe that is the cause.
Is there a system setting that I may have modified on the GS3 that would disable all forms of USB communication?
(The end goal is to get at least ADB working so I can try and recover some deleted files from the internal memory; I haven't found a reliable method that does not require ADB so I'm trying to get that to work. I know that transferring files on or off can be accomplished with the external SD card or over Wifi but that is not what I'm looking for)

Any suggestions from anyone?

I am not sure. Could be a software issue. I would try backing up your current cm ROM and try installing a fresh touchwiz ROM to see of that works, to rule out software issues. This could also be a android 4.3 issue. Could try stickmount or a similar otg app from the market.

I don't think any OTG app like stickmount will help; I'm not trying to connect devices to my phone. I'm trying to get my computer to recognize my phone (and vice versa) in order to get ADB working.
If I can avoid flashing a RAM I'd like to, because I'm still interested in recovering those deleted files. If that is the only thing that would help, though, then I'll do it. Any other suggestions?

Install Kies and that should get the drivers for the pc in place. Odin should recognize the device when it is in the download mode. If that works, then the pc to phone connection is OK and I'd look to software instead of hardware.
Or, if you boot into your custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP, you should be able to get ADB to recognize the device and issue commands including pulling the files on Internal storage. TWRP also has a file browser built in that might be useful.

I have tried uninstalling any Samsung drivers then using the SGS3 toolkit to install the official drivers, but that didn't change anything on the PC end.
Additionally, I tried finding my device while it was in recovery using ADB and there was no connection indication either.
I currently have CWM installed, but I didn't see a mounting option like I've seen for TWRP. Can I flash TWRP without a computer?

Or try this out: Download mode>Connect via USB>Let Windows download and update all drivers until the notification in the bottom right says it's ready to use>Unplug>Battery Pull>Boot normally>connect again. Voila! It works every time when it's being wonky and its a simple way that doesn't require a bunch of downloads!

installing insecure adb might help

Rebooting into download mode does nothing.
I believe rooting and installing CM10 means I already have insecure adb?

thanks

what next?
