perhaps uncheck mtp and select camera and turn off debugging ? boot into recovery while connected ? that installs a driver also. have you installed a "naked driver " ?

Need more info about your problem. what happens when you type adb devices?

If I'm not mistaken there were a few people that had the same issue and it turned out to be a bug when trying to use a USB 3.0 port on their computers. If you are using a USB 3.0 port for your cable you might wanna try plugging it into a USB 2.0. FYI I could be remembering completely wrong

I did everything but an engineering hboot with USB 2.0 port on an Intel x79 chipset motherboard on Windows 8.1.

I had this problem too but got around it. I had no problem getting the device detected in Fastboot mode, but ADB was a problem. What I did was download and begin installation of the latest HTC sync manager with the phone already connected. It seems the first thing it does is install updated drivers then asks if you want to continue with the installation. I didn't want to install sync manager, so I cancelled the install. However the drivers remained. After a reboot I checked Device manager and sure enough Android 1.0 device was there with working drivers.
Checked the device was recognised with the ADB command ADB DEVICES, but showed no device connected. I then unplugged the USB cable and plugged in to another USB 2.0 port and voila device gets deteced by ADB.
I also had to use this version of ADB http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5mieo2vxjd71ws/android-tools.zip and it had to be the original HTC USB cable and USB debugging enabled in Developer options.
Now for some reason I have to swap USB ports each time ADB doesn't detect the device and pretty much works each time.

I think it's usb3 issue , adb doesn't work on usb3 ports,
there was a subject on how to convert usb3 port into usb2 search the forums

USB 3.0 worked fine for me on 8.1. I used Sooner ADB drivers and manually picked them.

Ya usb3.0 worked for me too on two systems but I do know others had issues so I wanted to point it out.

I have no issues on win 8.1 I use the Google USB drivers that are with the sdk. The first time, I do have to go into device manager and update the driver. When it asks do you want to locate the driver or pick it from a list select pick from a list. There should be an Android entry if you installed the USB driver. Select that and then select adb interface. You'll also have to do the same for fastboot mode the first time.

I couldn't find a working version of ADB for 8.1 however I installed HTC Sync from the virtual CD and that installed all the drivers. Uninstalled sync manager cos I don't use it and the drivers remain and work fine.

check your usb 3 controller. Is it intel 3.0 usb controller. if you see intel xtensible controller in device manager this could be the issue, it can break adb on all ports. here is a link to a fix for this usb problem i can confirm it works as i have had this issue myself. Hope this helps

search for all-in-one-toolkit for the M8. it has links to installing drivers, u can use that toolkit to flash RUU, kernel, recovery, unlock bootloader and even run commands.

I used pdanet to install drivers for fastboot, you might wanna try it.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, I installed PDA Net today to try to get this to work. So far no dice. I have also downloaded HTC_Driver_64 & HTC_Driver_32 and still there has been nothing that works. Could it be that these drivers do not work with CM-7.0.3-vision?

try usbdeview and just uninstall all android drivers and be careful not to delete any drivers you specifically added for other things or else youll have to reinstall them. google that shizzle up "usbdeview" its also in cm wicky.

Uninstalling pdanet should keep the drivers, but if you follow the xda or cyanogen wiki you can download the proper ones from there. Otherwise strawmetals pdf guide will have the links too (many say his guide is the easiest to follow)

[Q] Device not recognized

Hello,
For some reason my HTC Desire Z isn't recognized in Windows anymore.
It appears as Unknown Device in the Dev Man.
I have tried uninstalling all the drivers, and using the Google ADB drivers, but they won't install. I have also tried the HBOOT drivers, but when I am in HBOOT screen and plug the phone it won't even say HBOOT USB PLUG...
Funnily, when I start up the computer, before Windows is loaded, my phone says USB debugging, USB connected, and all of that - and as soon as Windows comes up, these things go away and the phone isn't recognized.
Please help!
Simone
Try downloading and installing HTC Sync (from HTC's website). That has USB drivers in it, which should work.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
I did, but for some reason it won't overwrite the old driver. Maybe something is wrong hardwire-wise, because I get "Unknown Device" and not "Android" in the Dev Man. However, the USB connection seems to come up on the phone before Windows starts up (weird?)
Give me a few hours and when I get home I should be able to upload the driver package I use for mine.
This is the drivers I use.

Manualy update the drivers to your phone in devices,properties. Also there is a windows application that can search out all the drivers on your system called usb search or something to that order, you can stop your phone from seeking these drivers manualy and set up the proper ones

Check whether you've firs installed Samsung USB Drivers in computer. Install KIES and it'll automatically install the drivers.
Also check the USB Debugging mode is not checked in your phone. It'll be there in Developer Options
adb non detect.
Yeah. I am having similar problem. Pc wont detect my phone even when usb debugging is on or off. Installed all necessary drivers and still wont detect. In fact my note 8.0 having the same problem. It was ok a few days back. Is it the phone or pc that is causing the problem? Note 2 was derooted and 8.0 original fw. Can anyone help?
yes i have the same issue as well
i have no idea why
Try to do everything from the begining. Uninstall all previous drivers that you have installed. Restart your computer. You could download and install Samsung drivers pack only if you don't use Kies (search on Google for the latest pack) or download and install latest Samsung Kies suite and install drivers that come with it. After that connect your phone to the PC using your USB cable. When it starts to search for drivers open that notification and you will see something like >> Skip obtaining drivers from internet<< Then it will automaticaly install drivers from PC (the one that you have installated previously) or it will prompt you to point to the folder where drivers were instalated. I can't remember exactly how it goes but this is the solution that worked for me...And you must click on skip for every single item (on driver list) or it will not be instalated properly...

[Q] PC (HTC Sync) Won't install drivers

Hello,
I have a problem the my HTC One X and my (Windows 7 x64) Computer. It won't install the correct drivers to use ADB and to see it in Windows Explorer. I've tried everythingI can think of. I know there thousands of other threads like this, and I read many of them but none provide a solution for me :/. I'm sure my One X is not the problem, it's working fine, I have a laptop wich also runs Windows 7 x64 and it's all working fine on it. (It's a Lenovo Ideapad Z500, i7 version) What I've tried:
- 4 different USB Ports (I have tried 2 USB2 ports and 2 USB3 ports. No luck.
- Remove the device from system using Windows Device Manager -> Disconnect phone -> Install HTC Sync -> Reboot -> connect phone. Nothing happens, Windows reports no drivers can be found.
- Manually select drivers from the HTC Sync Installation folder. Windows tells me those aren't the correct drivers. (For me: C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64)
And yes, USB debugging is on, and I do accept HTC Sync Manager on my phone. I am running ARHD 31.0. My phone does connect OK in Fastboot mode, by the way. I can use Fastboot commands perfectly fine. (Flash boot/recovery image, clear cache etc etc)
I have no idea what to do to get it working, but maybe you guys do? Any tips/ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Had this problem last week. I solved it this way:
- Uninstalled HTC Sync + HTC Drivers
- Installed ADB Universal Drivers: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Clockworkmod/Clockworkmod-Universal-Android-ADB-Driver.shtml
- Rebooted PC
- Booted my HOX in bootloader
- went to fastboot
- connected usb cable between pc and hox
- went in recovery mod (latest cwm version)
- from there I was able to push adb commands from my pc
I basically did what is said on this page: http://news.softpedia.com/news/A-Clockworkmod-Universal-ADB-Driver-Is-Finally-Up-for-Grabs-343944.shtml
You can also use ADB over network if your phone boot properly and if your PC is on the same wifi network.
Thanks Alray for the tips but it doesn't install that driver either. Still a big ! in device manager named Android Phone. And I shouldn't need to push anything to the phone AFAIK, as I said it all works fine on the laptop, Including ADB!

All options I can find about downloading drivers from the internet are enabled. When I tell the PC to look online for drivers, it won't find anything.
EDIT:
Okay, I had the setup look thru the whole C drive looking for drivers, it reported it found one. But failed installing because files were missing..... !? That makes me think there's something corrupt in Windows/System32/Drivers or somewhere in those driver folders.
Try this Link I think it is helpfull, if didn't help I will but when I reach home.

Hey, I just wanted to chime in on this thread because I'm having precisely the same problem as Qubica.
I'm using Windows 7/64 and I've been using this laptop to manage/root/ADB several Android devices for as long as I've owned it.
I noticed last Friday that I could no longer mount my T-Mobile G2 either as a USB mass-storage device nor could I connect to it using ADB. This was the day after Windows Update installed a bunch of patches, and I had also installed the updated chipset drivers for my laptop a few days earlier.
I took a look at the device manager and this is what I saw:
(android_devmgmt.png)
Now, that's weird because I mount the storage card at least two times a month to move files around. So I did what seemed like the reasonable thing and Uninstalled the device altogether, and then installed the HTC Sync app to reinstall the drivers, as I had done originally. Unfortunately, the "Android Phone" non-detection of the device has persisted.
The installation logs from the HTC Sync app also indicates that the drivers were successfully installed, but the installer seems to quit about halfway through the process, so it's not at all clear that the installation logs are accurate.
Here's what the properties sheet of that device looks like:
(android_devmgmt_properties.png)
I've been following the advice I've read here and elsewhere: I've attempted to download several different versions of the HTC drivers from various locations and manually point Device Manager at the folders containing those drivers. I've extracted and executed the HTCDriver.exe installer separately from the HTC Sync installer. I've attempted to install generic ADB drivers from a number of locations, including Google and the Clockworkmod Universal ADB drivers.
Here's the result when I try to install the drivers (by pointing Windows at the correct location for the driver files) or if I allow Windows Update to search for the drivers:
(cant-find-android-driver.png)
So, this morning I tried the more drastic step of uninstalling all of the USB Root Hub devices and rebooting the laptop. When the computer came back, it did not automagically reload those generic drivers, but fortunately I was able to manually choose the generic (Standard USB Host Controller) -> USB Root Hub device from the list of options, and it worked---for getting the USB ports to function, but not the Android device.
I've also checked to make sure there were no software restriction policies in place in gpedit.msc that affected the installation of the drivers, and found none. I also poked around in the Registry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles path and found no problems there with either permissions or settings.
I'm basically at my wit's end here; Windows is behaving like the driver installation is subject to a software restriction policy -- seemingly, actively preventing the driver from being installed -- but nothing shows up in the logs that would indicate that a policy is in place. The laptop can't mount the device, and I'm kind of stuck.
I guess I'll follow the thread for a while and see if anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks in advance to all that offer their help.

I prefer uninstalling the driver (Called unknown device, and it appears when I plug the device) from device manager, unplug your device then replug it again and wait for windows to get your driver.

Phone isnt recognized in fastboot

Can anyone help me?
I'm running windows 8 64-bit, and I have an HTC One from VZW.
The phone is recognized via ADB, but whenever I get into the bootloader, it tells me the device isnt recognized and I can't do any fastboot commands with it. I was able to root and use fastboot on my N7 2013 from the same PC, so this is frustrating because I want to send my One in to sonic but if I can't DO anything when I s-off there's no point in sending it it.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
PS - I've only tried this PC, no others. It may work on my macbook but thats away for repair.

Here is a previous post I made to another guy having the same problem. Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
I had this problem too running windows 8 x64. I think my problem was that I installed the sdk first with google's USB driver and not HTC's driver. What I did to make it work is switch computers over to my wifes which at the time I hadn't installed anything on yet. I went to htcdev.com and went to the part of the site where it is step-by-step on how to unlock the bootloader. I installed the Java Runtime Environment on the link provided on the upper right side of the site, then I installed the HTC sync manager on the link provided as well. I had my phone connected to my computer usb 2.0 (not usb 3.0) the whole time and with USB debugging enabled (not in fastboot mode, but with phone normally on). After that I took the three files from the sdk that htc wants you to place in a separate folder and put them in c:\Android. I did not install anything from sdk this go around.. i just took the three files out and put them in a separate folder as instructed by htc. After that I opened cmd and directed it to the folder I placed the files in (cd c:\Android) and ran command "adb reboot bootlader" Once I did that and hit fastboot the "My HTC" in device manager no longer had an exclamation point. So in summary, I couldn't reverse the drivers from my computer that I installed first so I resorted to using my wife's computer that didn't have anything installed yet. I installed JRE, then HTC sync software, and just used the 3 files HTC wants from sdk and placed them into a separate folder. I didn't install anything from sdk. It all worked after that. I don't have instructions on how to reverse the usb drivers you have already installed because I couldn't figure it out... in fact, I formatted windows on my pc and am reinstalling. Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm going to try it out on my roommates laptop that only has samsung drivers and the ADB installed and see what happens. Can't reformat the PC cause it's my School desktop and I've got work on there.
Once my macbook pro comes back from repairs I'll use that though, since I've never had issues running adb commands on my mac
Found a soultion
After I tried almost everything I tried to improvise and try something totally different and it worked!
First uninstall the driver in the Device Manger and then press to update it >> then press Browse my Computer for driver Software >> then press on Let me pick from list.... >> in the list choose the Portable Devices >> choose MPT USB Drive !
And It works...

First uninstall the driver in the Device Manger and then press to update it >> then press Browse my Computer for driver Software >> then press on Let me pick from list.... >> in the list choose the Portable Devices >> choose MPT USB Drive !
And It works...
:good:

MPT USB Drive isnt one of my options
However I've found that it's microsofts USB3 drivers, which override the Intel ones.
I just got my macbook back from repairs and it has USB3 ports as well so I was worried it wouldnt work, but its working fine from there
I'm having this same problem and nothing I do is working. I even tried from another computer but had no luck. adb finds the phone fine but fastboot just won't work. This is keeping me from getting S-Off. Someone please help.
Edit: Nevermind I think the issue is that I'm using Windows 8.1
I'm having the same problem I'm windows 8 64bit...
I have a nagging feeling that it's pda net.. I need to look into it today sometime
