So I got a used Pixel 6 Pro today and trying to figure out how to get GrapheneOS on it. I tried the web installer in Chrome on both MacOS and Windows 11 and neither of them see the phone. For Windows 11, when I plug in the phone after booting into fastboot, it says the USB device has malfunctioned and in Device Manager, it reports Device Descriptor Request Failed. I tried downloading the usb driver but I can't apply them to the Unknown USB device. I've searched and tried various fixes such as rebooting, going into fastboot again, doing all OTAs then trying fastboot again, and nothing :< Please help if you can!
Get the Google USB driver and boot into fastboot then uninstall driver and install it again
Here's some info
Install OEM USB drivers | Android Studio | Android Developers
Discover links to the web sites for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device.

I have an HTC Incredible 4G LTE. I underwent the process detailed here to unlock the bootloader.
When i got the HTCDev website, i ran a fastboot command and it just says <waiting for device>. I tried to detect the device with adb devices, and fastboot devices, but with no success. the THC Sync manager is not installed. HTC drivers should be installed. I am plugged into a USB 2.0 port, the same one used through out the process (i even tried the other one).
I am at a loss as to what is happening. I do know that the device manager sees my phone, and shows the drivers as the latest version. It does give this message:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

The device manager is listing the driver as version 2.0.7.3.
EDIT: Was able to get driver updated to 2.0.7.18
Also, when connected to the computer normally an orange light shows near the speaker. I wasn't concerned at first as I know the Android OS is not actually up and running on the phone, but do wonder if it doesn't indicated a problem.
Another note, I am running Windows 8.
EDIT 2: More research has yielded the following "Android Bootloader Interface". Every reference installing this from the usb_driver in the ../extra/google/usb_driver folder. When I attempt to do so from the device manager Have Disk ui I receive the following error
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your
device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designer to work with
Windows for x64-based systems.

EDIT 3: Removed entire android sdk, redownloaded and installed. Removed all HTC software and drivers. Booted phone into fastboot, and windows detected an "Android 1.0" device, installed the Android Bootloader Interface driver from the google usb_driver successfully. However, fastboot devices still does not detect the phone, and device manager still shows code 10.
As of now:
No HTC Sync, or HTC Driver
phone booted into fastboot, phone displays "FASTBOOT USB"
phone is set to usb debug
phone is connected to pc with good cable to a usb 2.0 port
I have:
rebooted pc, re-installed drivers, changed usb cords, changed usb ports, even tried a usb 3.0 port, i have tried some generic fixes for code 10 errors, and completely run out of ideas
EDIT 4: After using a different computer running Windows 7 I was able to complete the process, however, i would very much like toresolve the issue with my own PC, as the Win7 laptop is not mine. I utilized the adb/fastboot/winapi files from my Win8 machine. Win7 automatically found HTC drivers (2.0.7.18) and everything seemed to work just fine. Any ideas?
I've been eager to try Scott Crosler's new CM11 but didn't have time until tonight. To ensure cleanliness, at the bootloader I erased cache, system and userdata. I've flashed ROMs dozens of times, and as usual, there were no problems with fastboot recognizing the device.
I then entered CWM, and it was the darndest thing: three fast USB connection beeps and this error:
"Windows could not install driver software for your device."
But I've had the generic USB drivers installed for two years! At first I thought it was interference from the Samsung drivers when reflashing my wife's tablet, but I tried our two laptops, same result. No matter that I right-clicked "Nexus 7" in Device Manager and pointed it to freshly downloaded drivers, even that I tried installing drivers using the SDK Manager,
"Windows could not install driver software for your device."
I've read that turning off USB debugging helps, but um, with an erased /system, I had nothing to boot into!
Normally I prefer flashing via ADB sideload. To get up and running again, I flashed TWRP and used its feature of mounting USB-OTG and flashing from an external drive. Once I got into CM11, I turned on and off USB debugging, but I still can't install the USB drivers, and ADB can't recognize any devices. At least there's flashing via external flash drives.
Has anyone had the like?
didn't see win 8.1 mentioned but thought this may help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/general/windows-8-1-users-careful-t2856908. I have had problems with drivers in past. adb composite are the ones that work for me. I simply removed drivers under android devices in device manager then plugged in device. GL.
Windows 7 here, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
This morning I can connect it as a media device, and it's in Device Manager just fine as "Nexus 7." But turning that off, it becomes "flo" in Device Manager and can't find the updated drivers. And either way, I still can't get it recognized while in recovery mode. Ah well, as I said, at least TWRP has the option to mount USB OTB and flash files from an external drive.
Let me add that I already tried another cable (for our Samsung tablet), and tonight I see that I can connect it in MTP mode. In MTP mode, it shows up just fine in Device Manager (under Portable Devices), but turning off MTP throws it under Other Devices with the dreaded ! (and I just can't get it to install the driver no matter where I point it to). And no matter what combination I try, I still can't get ADB to recognize it at all.
Although this is for Windows 8.1 it may apply to your situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/general/windows-8-1-users-careful-t2856908
As I e-mailed you, sfetaz's suggestion of USBDeview is part of the solution! I still can't get it recognized in booted Android as anything but a media device, but now it's fine during recovery. Darndest thing I ever saw in 19 years of dealing with Windows drivers.

Then in an old bookmark, I tried Koush's universal ADB drivers.

Even if USBDeview hadn't helped, it was still good to clear out all the old devices I no longer use. Definitely a handy utility to keep around and recommend.
Hi
ADK is working fine with my other devices, but my PC can't seem to install the drivers for Huawei Watch. The devices is in the device manager, but a little yellow triangle at the side, which means the device drivers are not installed.
I have tried Google, but the guides just say install the devices drivers but clicking update in Device manager with the xx file I downloaded, but windows can't see the file.
Thanks in advance

why is this marked as solved because i dont see the solution. i just received my watch today and cant seem to get device manager to recognize any drivers.
PDAnet doesnt fully install because i cant install drivers

i was trying all day on my work computer which runs windows 7 x64 with no luck, but the watch was detected immediately on my windows 10 machine at home. strange.
Success!
I fixed my issue! I had the same issue everyone here mostly had. I could unlock the bootloader, but I couldn't get the Fastboot recovery to work because the drivers were not detected by Windows 10, or my other Windows 7 machine. Both machines installed a standard version of Google Android device drivers and boot loader drivers, but they were not detected by ADB commands once in the bootloader.
First I went here to download all the drivers, but got stuck:
http://www.thecountrycaller.com/37260-how-to-unlock-huawei-watch-bootloader-and-flash-twrp-recovery/
So what I did was ran the commands to reboot to bootloader, then flash commands for the recovery, left my device plugged in. Then I went into the Windows Device manager, and looked for the Android or Adb drivers loaded. I double clicked the driver, and clicked on uninstall driver, and told windows to delete the drivers. I then unplugged my device (still in bootloader mode), plugged it back and in windows instantly detected the ADB flash commands and boom, TWRP recovery completed.
Hope this helps some of you.
this did not solve my issue ive installed the drivers and nothing over and over can someone help me with the drivers please
thanks
running windows 7
tried to install every driver possible
Weird as it may be, I managed to get Hwatch to connect to ADB via USB by installing the watch as a Motorola Android Sooner Composite ADB Interface - in device manager-update driver-select from PC-select from device list-android usb device-motorola
Is there anything what i can do when my classic watch is NOT recognized on both pc and notebook? I hear no sound, i can´t see anything in device manager...any help?
Hi I`m using the huawei 2 LTE version - can I take the same driven from here or will that cause problems ?

I have a problem.
My screen is broken. Now I want to send him to OnePlus.
But before that I want unroot it. Or at least reset to factory defaults. But both things fails.
I have the latest FreedomOS Rom. Since then I can no longer use TWRP. When I start my phone to the recovery the screen goes black and nothing happens anymore.
The same happens when I put it back to factory settings through the settings menu .
I've read there is a modified version of TWRP.
From here begins the real problem. Windows doesn't recognizes my phone.
In Device Manager it appear as "unknown USB device (failed request for device descriptor)"
What I've tried:
Boot in to Bootloader
Original (Dash) USB cable
Other USB cable
WIndows 10
Windows 7
USB debugging on
USB debugging off
OEM unlocking on
OEM unlocking off
USB configuration: File transfer
USB configuration: MTP
USB Configuration: Charge
Anyone have an idea?
Maybe it's the ROM. But I cannot flash another ROM because I can not get into TWRP.
Maybe it's an option to flash the modified TWRP without a computer. So right from the bootloader. But I do not know if this is possible. And how it should be done
I'm having the exact same problem. Did you find a solution?
In windows 10 -> i get Device Descriptor Request Failed
In windows 7 -> Unknown Usb Device (Installed Correctly)
whenever i try to update device driver with ANY driver (oneplus... or generic sdk driver) I get a message saying "doesn't contain a suitable driver for your device.....)
I went to device manager > right click mtp (unknown device) > update driver software > browse my computer > let me pick > mtp USB device > happy me
Windows it's the problem. I reinstalled drivers, adb, nothing. At work i try it & it works. I reinstalled windows. Now works.
I'm on windows 10 x64.
Damn it, I don't think windows is my problem.. i tried Windows 10 / Windows 7(2 diff computers)
i can't even see the phone as MTP..
Found any solution to this? Having a similar issue

With Google Android SDK USB drivers (usb_driver_r13-windows.zip from 'Get the Google USB Driver') installed on a Windows PC, the platform-tools adb command can comunicate with the phone when it's in the Android system.
However, after booting into fastboot, the platform-tools fastboot command cannot communicate with the phone.
Does fastboot only work with the USB drivers installed by the miflash utility?
Or does it work with different drivers from Google or Qualcomm? If so, where to download them from?
There are countless sources claiming to be the Qualcomm drivers, but they are not authoritative.
Qualcomm puts all its downloads behind a login, but even after joining the Qualcomm developer network, I still couldn't find the drivers on there.

I always use the so-called Minimal ADB and Fastboot package (search by Google).
Starting from that it will further download additional drivers (when phone is connected in Android or in Fastboot mode - PC must be on Internet)
But you may have problems (preventing to recognize the phone in Fastboot) with your USB cable or USB port on the PC or even with some previously installed drivers - Windows wrongly recognize and try to use a previously installed driver instead and then it doesn't work in Fastboot
To clean up the previously installed USB drivers from the particular USB ports you may use USB Deview (google for, it's been couple of years ago when I had to use it last time)
Again, countless links to 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot package' downloads from untrustworthy sources such as dropbox, droidfilehost etc,
But anyway it was not necessary. Thank you for the suggestion to clean the device. I think the Google Android SDK USB drivers contains the bootloader driver, it just wasn't installed. The device manager just needed a nudge.
To recreate the issue...
Connect the phone to the PC via USB
In Windows, go to the Device Manager.
When the phone is in Android system, it is shown in the device tree as...
Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface
...but when the phone is in fastboot, it is shown in the device tree as...
Other devices -> Android
...with an exclamation mark over the Android device to indicate it is not working.
To fix the problem...
In Device Manager, find...
Other devices -> Android
Right click Android, and select Properties.
In the General tab, click Change Settings. At the UAC prompt, log in with an Administrator account.
In the Driver tab, click Update Driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer > Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface > When 'Update Driver Warming' is displayed, click 'Yes'
Shows: Windows has successfully updated your drivers.
Driver properties now shows: Driver provider: Google, Inc
The phone shows in the device tree as:
Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface
Now Android platform tools fastboot commands work.

Ofc that Google's SDK should contain drivers but I suggested Minimal.. since I always use them and it's the minimal/smallest package (as the name says, and self-contained) to download and install
Btw, there is a thread on XDA for Minimal..., that should be trustworthy I think
Anyway, it's important that it works now for you. And problem is usually with some mess on the PC with previous drivers
USB Deview is small, easy to use and powerfully tool for cleaning the old drivers that have been installed who knows when in the past

Thanks, found it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/
The latest version minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe, is 1mb, dated is Feb 2018, hosted on androidfilehost.com.
I guess Google's platform-tools_r33.0.1-windows.zip supercedes it, it's a little bigger at 6mb, but it's portable, so doesn't require any Administrator access to install, and provenance it clear.
