Hello,
This must be a dumb question because all the guides seem to skip over this part but I'm having trouble installing the Windows 7 drivers. I downloaded the drivers, connected via USB, right clicked on the Android 1.0 in the device manager and updated the drivers. Everything seemed fine. Then I boot into fastboot and get a "Drivers were not installed successfully" pop-up.
I thought maybe I messed up and was supposed to install the drivers while in fastboot rather than while the phone was all the way booted up. So I rebooted the phone, uninstalled the drivers, booted in fastboot and tried to install the drivers while in fastboot. When I try it this way I right click on Android 1.0 in the device manager, go to the update driver option, select my file (there are two files in the driver folder I downloaded, androidusb and htcrndis, I tried them both) and I get an error before it can finish installing the driver. It says:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when trying to install it:
HTC Remote NDIS based Device
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
I'm sure it's something simple but I cant figure it out. Thanks for any help.

I was trying to install PDANet yesterday onto my laptop, I follow all the isntructions during installation and allow the drivers to be installed. I choose Samsung as my phone. At one point it asks me to connect my phone to my PC, which I do. It proceeds to dl 4 things, 3 out of the 4 download and install fine, but the ADB Driver installation fails every time (this is windows downloading drivers, not the installation itself). I have tried finding ADB drivers on my own with little success.
to confirm before the question is asked, yes the USB debugging option is turned on. ADB driver just keeps failing to download and install using windows.
same issue with my HP laptop
Driver name is S3c6410 Android ADB
So I followed the guide on getting ready to flash MUI, and saw I needed the nexus S drivers.
I downloaded the Andriod SDK, and then from there download the Google USB driver.
It put files in
c:\program files(x86)\Android\andriod-sdk\extras\google\usb-driver
I open up device manager and find SAMSUNG_android do a complete uninstall of drivers, and reboot system, but as soon as I plug phone back in, it pops up.
So I right click on SAMSUNG_andriod, and choose update driver, and manually browse to that folder above and every time it says:
Windows could not find driver software for your device.
I tried to even put back the original Samsung Drivers, but it keeps showing a yellow triangle in device manager.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Need a little help here. I cannot get my phone to connect to my computer, I'm running Windows 7. I have kies installed and have also downloaded the drivers directly from the Samsung site, but still cannot connect. When I plug in, it says installing drivers, but then gives me an error.
If I go to Device Manager, I see SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device but with the yellow exclamation mark. Under driver details it shows the correct driver installed, but has a Code 10 Error. "The Device cannot be started".
I've rebooted comp, rebooted phone, toggled USB debugging, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, tried 2 different USB cables, and nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas?
I didn't have to do everything you listed to get it to work, but I did have to run the installer (T-Mobile_T999_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe) twice to get it to work.. it failed the first time.
I just unplugged and then plugged cable back in, ran the installer and installed again over old drivers.
You can also try going into Device Manager, right-click on the phone and "Update Driver Software" manually... installer extracts all drivers to the C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers folder.
Still no luck. It installs the Samsung USB modem drivers fine and shows the phone correctly, but fails on the MTP Driver section.
Just for future reference for anyone that comes across this while searching. I did get this fixed. I tried a couple more usb cables and a friends computer with the same issues.
What I ended up doing was a factory reset on the phone. Plugged phone in after first boot and mtp drivers installed right away.
Sorry if I'm being a noob here but I seem to be unable to install fastboot drivers. I've tried pointing driver installation to the usb folder I've downloaded and unzipped but in device manager the device just appears for a few seconds then goes off. I tried using flashtool and installing the drivers from the drivers section, as it told me but even though I completed the installation a couple of times it still tells me everytime I try to enter fastboot in flashtool that the drivers are required and that they can be found in the drivers folder and I'm getting a bit of tired of this. I can't root, unlock bootloader or do anything worthwhile without the fastboot drivers it seems.
Sorry again if I'm being noob I came from a galaxy ace and over there it was a lot simpler and the process of rooting, installing CWM and flashing a ROM did not even warrant the use of a computer so I'm pretty confused.

first check whether you checked the fastboot and flashtool drivers and installed.............if yes then try restarting your PC and then try again....... The problem u mentioned happens a lot(it happens to me)...... just be patience.......
Also try toggling between mtp and msc mode.

It's possible that your operating system (Windows 7 or 8) is preventing unsigned drivers to install. I've had the same issue and I could install the drivers successfully after disabling "Driver Signature Enforcement" on your Windows operating system. Reboot your PC and press F8 while booting. Then select " Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Then install the unsigned driver.

Thanks. If that's the case I think I'll try it on my older Windows XP com.
I recently acquired an SGP312 from ebay and the seller upgraded it to 5.0.2 without anyone asking for it (it was supposed to be NIB now who knows).
I have not unlocked the bootloader but I did confirm it is locked and can be unlocked.
I'm trying to connect it to my PC so I can get it rooted but I'm running into issues with the device being recognized.
I installed the Android SDK USB drivers & copied over android_winusb.inf and fastboot appears to be working fine. Windowns (7) Device Manager, Flashtool, and the Sony flash tool (Emma) all see the tab.
However, none of the other connection modes appear to work.
Flash mode will initially connect with Flashtool but the the device disconnects:
31/037/2015 23:37:03 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
31/038/2015 23:38:04 - INFO - Device disconnected
31/038/2015 23:38:21 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
31/038/2015 23:38:21 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
Device Manager shows an Other Devices with SGP312. I tried doing the Update Driver Software option with the drivers from the Sony developer site or the Android SDK drivers but no go.
I then boot up normally and connect either with or without ADB turned on and get the same Device Manager and driver results and PC Companion won't see the phone, either.

Download this package of drivers and install properly (Tick Flashmode, Fastboot, Common Drivers Lagan, Xperia Tablet Z drivers).
Sorry, I forgot to mention I ran the flash tool driver utility in the flashtool\drivers directory and chose the first 2 options and the XTZ-specific option but I'll give that a shot and report back.
While I did see a driver I missed I have little change in results other than MTP in non-USB debugging mode attempted to install a driver and failed:
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
MTP USB Device
The system cannot find the file specified.
That reminds me that when I try to manually install the driver while in usb debugging mode it has the same message but with USB Composite Device where it says MTP USB Device.
I think I'll try this on my laptop as this PC had issues earlier this year with corruption that I thought I had fixed and I'm wondering if the corruption was more widespread than I thought.

Seems to be this is an issue, because flashtool driver packages installed fine for me on WinXP/7/8.
Also pc-companion usually installs everything that is necessary for its fuctional, so must be OS problem.
Yep, that was it. Man, I should've checked that first. Sorry for the waste of time.
Quick question - do you know which ADB Interface I install from the SDK drivers? Is it ADB Interface or ADB Composite Interface? Or do I do 2 passes and install both?
Never mind - did some googling and got my answer. Thanks!
