HTC Incredible :: How Can Get The Drivers?
Jun 25, 2010
trying to root for awhile now reading through different methods, tricks, etc and to be honest, my head is spinning from all the different info. However, in trying so many different things, I did seem to come up with a true issue that I can actually pin down...I don't have any drivers installed for the DInc. I tried the edit method for the .inf file in the sdk and tried to manually update the drivers (device manager says there aren't any drivers installed for it at all) and it just simply doesn't see any drivers there. I'm kind of lost. Installed HTC Sync and uninstalled and reinstalled three times. What am I missing (other than drivers, of course) to get this installed? Where/how can I get the drivers and actually install them?

Why does the Incredible require drivers to connect to the PC via USB to transfer files, but the Nexus One does not. They are very similar phones.
Why can't a generic mass storage device driver work? It seemed to work for the Nexus One. Am I missing something here?

Trying to root my DINC for the first time and the USB drivers provided by the guide do not work, I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I thought I saw some 64 bit USB drivers some where while browsing one day on here.

Monitoring the traffic on the unrEVOked IRC channel, it's clear that there is a ton of confusion about the USB drivers needed, despite the excellent article on the unrEVOked site. I thought I'd maybe add to that or create an alternative article.
There are three different modes in which the Incredible (or the EVO!) can connect to a Windows system:
Disk Drive
ADB (USB Debugging and ClockworkMod Recovery)
BootLoader (while phone is in the HBOOT mode)
The drivers that come with the Android SDK can't do any of it because none of the interfaces for the Incredible are present in the .INF file. The drivers that come with HTC Sync can do #1 and #2, but cannot be used for rooting with unrEVOked because they don't support #3. The following link points to drivers which are universal; they will work for all three purposes on the Incredible (and the EVO as well).
unrEVOked modified USB Driver
You do not have to remove HTC Sync if you have it installed. These drivers will replace the ones that came from HTC Sync and be usable for that as well as rooting. The trick is getting these drivers to replace the ones you have from the Android SDK or HTC Sync or ??? (or simply installing them if you have no drivers yet). The idea is to plug your phone into USB while it's in HBOOT mode, forcing Windows to look for Bootloader drivers. Only the ones here provide that.
Anyway, here's how:
Uninstall HTC Sync, DoubleTwist, and DropBox from the PC. Sorry about this. Once these drivers are installed you may reinstall those and they will continue to work. These drivers are universal.
Unzip the file, leaving the folder Android USB Driver somewhere like on your desktop
Unplug your phone from USB
Power down your phone
Now simultaneously press the volume DOWN button and the power button, holding till the HBOOT screen appears
Now connect the USB cable between the phone and your PC
The word HBOOT (blue box with white letters) will change to HBOOT USB PLUG
On the EVO, wait till HBOOT cycles through an SD check (10 sec) then select select HBOOT USB at the bottom of the menu (using the vol keys to navigate and power button to select). Thanks to hperry for this.
Now look at your Windows Device Manager and see if you already have Android Phone listed for HBOOT as shown in one of the last two images (way) below. To see the Device Manager, right click My Computer, select Manage..., select the Device Manager. If you see the Android Phone, you're ready to root and can skip the rest of this. Otherwise, you do not have HBOOT-capable drivers, and you need to install them. Windows should be looking for drivers now. At this point things may differ between XP and Vista/7.
In XP, the New Hardware Found Wizard should appear. Tell it NOT to use Windows Update, and moving along, tell it to look in a specified location. It will pop up a file open dialog. Navigate to the Android USB Driver folder, click OK then click Next.
For Windows Vista/7 you might not see the New Hardware Found Wizard. Open the Device Manager (Right click My Computer, select Manage..., select the Device Manager). You will see an Android Phone node in the tree with a "caution" icon node beneath it. Right click on the caution-marked node and select Update Driver. Follow through specifying NOT to look in Windows Updatte and Install from a specified location. It will pop up a file open dialog. Navigate to the Android USB Driver folder, click OK, then click Next.
In either case, eventually the driver should install. At this point you have the universal drivers installed for the Incredible. They can also be used with the HTC EVO. Here's what you should see in the Windows Device Manager for each condition:
Phone Running Normally, USB Debugging Enabled, plugged in via USB:
Windows 7
Windows XP
Phone running HBOOT, plugged in via USB:
Phone showing HBOOT
Windows 7
Windows XP

I followed rafcor post at http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/29449-htc-sync-win-xp-x64-not-good.html to install HTC sync on XP 64. However I cannot find divers for the EVO anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find any, or if I can use the Vista/7 64bit drivers? Any help would be appreciated as I have had this phone for almost 2 weeks and still cannot hook it up to my computer. I am not buying a new OS just for a freaking phone.

I'm running a GOCLEVER R75 tablet. I succeeded in installing the USB drivers to Windows XP pro from the last SDK I downloaded previously.But I can't install other drivers:
C:> c:AndroidSDKadt-bundle-windows-x86sdkplatform-toolsadb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
Although I can see in Windows Device manager Android Phone - Android ADB Interface, some applications still write they can't see my Android device. I also can't see the tablet number.

I boot my Acer Iconia Tab A200 into fastboot mode (robot lying down and RED exclamation mark over it). I plug it into my Windows 7 (64bit) desktop computer with SDK installed, and from the directory with fastboot.exe I type FASTBOOT DEVICES but the device is not being seen, it just goes back to the prompt, like the command executed but didn't do anything. I assume this is because the drivers aren't installed. But I don't know how to install the "adb drivers".

I'm trying to get my screenshot on, but since I'm not rooted the normal apps won't work. I followed the How to Install ADB or USB Drivers on Android Devices | TechPetals instructions but for some reason my PC won't find the drivers. I'm running WinXP SP2. Are there any definitive EVO files that can be used?

Since I rooted to Radioactive Froyo 1.8.22 I've not been able to get my phone to connect to my PC. I tried uninstalling the programs I used to flash, [including deleting the registry files] and even re-downloaded the samsung update program, ran it to the point where it installs the drivers, and it then quit, and it still will not work.

I am trying to update my Galaxy i7500 with the following tutorial:
Easy guide to updating to Galaxo!
I have installed the ADB drivers, and have gotten to the point where I need to start loading files onto the phone, however; I am now unable to mount the phone via USB. On the phone it says "USB connected", but the device does not appear in my computer. I should mention I am doing this from windows XP, so I was not able to follow the guide exactly, however the drivers did seem to install successfully. Currently in the device manager I see "ABD Interface > SAMSUNG GALAXY"

I just finished dealing with Samsung Technical Support. First, a lengthy session w/ online Chat, ending with
"Diana: I am sorry, but we have reached the limit of our technical knowledge on this product. I am sorry,we at the chat support provide the basic troubleshooting information for our products,our agents in the voice support provide the next level of support for further assistance.
Diana: I suggest you to contact Samsung Technical Support at 1-888-987-4357 ...."
So, I went to online phone support, and was eventually told that Samsung has no Kies, mini-Kies, or any other support software for the Samsung Vibrant in with 64-bit computers (i.e. computers running Windows 7 in 64-bit mode). I assume this means that the 32-bit software works fine, as most 32-bit software does, but the hangup (no phone pun intended) is in the drivers. That's why it choked when I connected my phone and it tried to install the drivers. Can't use the software without the driver, and can't use the 32-bit driver in 64-bit windows.
Before online phone support told me it was impossible, she did send me to this page, to do a download of mini-Kies: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=55 7&PRO...
I don't know why she thought the one Samsung makes available when someone clicks through their support links was not good enough, but she was very definite she wanted me to use the other one instead. Here's the general Vibrant support links for downloads:
Samsung
from:
Samsung
Incidentally, while I was getting Online Chat support, I was told:
"Yes,it is compatible with the 64 bit windows also."
She also said that the full Kies (not just the mini-Kies) would be made available for the Vibrant, but since she was wrong about the 64-bit, ....
The phone support person did tell me that Samsung is working on making it available for 64-bit, but had no idea when that would be. She said, loyally, "soon."
I wanted to use Samsung's Kies software to connect (tether, with the USB cable) my phone to my laptop to use as an Internet connection. Now I can't do that until either (a) I find a 3rd party app that does this, or Samsung gets around to developing 64-bit drivers.
Anybody have any experience with using any 3rd party apps to tether to a 64-bit Win7 computer, for Internet service?
As I think about it, I think there's no excuse for Samsung having wasted so much of my time before telling me it was impossible. The pages their website lead me to said nothing about it working only for 32-bit. The software did not check to see if I had 64-bit and warn me it was fruitless. Online tech support said it would work with 64-bit. The page the phone tech support person took me to did specify 32-bit. Only then did I find out that I'd wasted all of this time. My time wasting was increased since I worried that maybe there was some problem with my laptop, so went through the whole process again with my desktop before trying to deal w/ Tech Support.

Just got a HTC Legend and am very keen to get into Android development (having previously been expirenced with eclipse/java/gwt).
However, the USB ADB driver on the SDK doesnt support it, so I wondered how I could add it myself.
I feebly tried adding;
CODE:.......
to the inf file. But it didnt help. (mainly because I have no clue what I was doing)

I am currently having issues installing my G1 in development mode on Vista 64 Premium SP1. I have tried both installing the drivers that come with the latest SDK and also the ones here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446274.
Whenever I plug the phone in it comes up as an unknown USB device under device manger. When I go to update driver and point the installer at the correct driver location it either says 'the device driver is up to date' or when using the have disk option it says 'the folder specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device'.

I have two machines, one a WindowsXP32, and one 64. Both with AMD64 chips. I have eclipse on both, and the SDK on both. I'm using the usb drivers with the HTC Legend (http:// groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ 2b54d2ce1202b04b/dd6f9152cd50d64b?lnk=gst&q=usb+#dd6f9152cd50d64b).
On the 32bit one things work just peachy. Device recognised, and debugging working fine. However, the 64bit one doesn't seem to recognise the device. Windows recognise's the device, and windows device manage shows it, but "adb devices" lists nothing, and nothing shows up when trying to manually launch from eclipse.

I'm trying to drop a new .tar file on my Moment using the Sprint Updater. I've placed the file in the binary folder. I get as far as putting the phone in the downloading mode and connect it to the computer and Windows 7 says it did not successfully install the drivers, halting the process.

My computer with vista x64 has about a 50% success rate at recognizing when I hook up my Moment via USB. I've installed the Samsung USB driver for mobile phones v1.3.150.0, as well as the Samsung New PC Studio software. I have debugging checked, tried different USB ports, etc, and the only thing that seems to work is power cycling the phone. android 2.1. I suspect this has something to do with the "Abnormal Disconnect" error I keep getting from pdanet.

I ordered Le Pan II tablet yesterday.Today I found out that so far there are no ADB drivers released by manufacturer.Does it mean I will not be able to develop applications on this device at all? I do not mean developing applications that require root access (this tablet has not been rooted either but I am OK with this).

I'm trying to use the SWM and when I have everything all set up it tells me I have no device set up. I looked to see if I could find drivers for me Xperia X10 and all I kept getting linked to was the sony PC companion that apparently had those drivers installed. When I installed it and did all the set up stuff it still wouldn't recognize my phone other than as a removable disk. I have the USB debugging turned on, .Net framework installed, and supposed the drives yet it still won't read my phone.
