Drivers not compatible? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Sorry to make a whole thread for this, but I don't have enough posts to post in the development section thread.
I'm trying to run S-OFF, and the HTC drivers we're told to first download from the site (the standard lazy panda page, I can't link it because I don't have enough posts..). Don't seem to work for me. The most certainly say "windows" next to the download link, but when I run it, it says, "This driver installer is not supported in this operating system!"
Now I am running windows 8, but I've seen several posts from people running W8 on the S-OFF thread saying that it worked flawlessly for them. I also tried running the installer in both windows 7 and windows xp compatibility mode.
Any ideas?

download the ones in regawmod thread. make sure you install the 64bit drivers if you are running 64bit. I believe the ones in lazy pandas are 32bit drivers.

Well, I gave that a shot. They unfortunately seem to be the exact same drivers, or at least with the exact same file name. Either way, I got the same error with those
And you're right, I am on 64bit. I don't see any place to download different versions of the drivers. Both those pages only give one option.

I keep having the same problem. And everywhere i have looked it the same driver. I might try and download the latest HTC Sync to see if that helps.

I am running Windows 8 64-bit, and found the solution after researching. You need to expand a zip of the HTC drivers, launch device manager, locate the unknown device identified with a question mark that represents your LTEVO, right click on this icon, and manually install the drivers by browsing to the location where you expanded the drivers. Try that!
I believe I followed this exact procedure, although for the One X, works for the LTEVO:

Anyone have the Diag Mode Drivers?

My computer keeps popping up finding new hardware when I ##3424# to go into DM mode.
I have activesync and htcsync, as well as the drivers that work up to the touch pro as well.
Give me a few minutes, I'll look into it. You might have just hit something big (from what i've seen of this so far)
You may have just found a gaping hole that could be some fun. Can't say much more, but i'll post back with some updates if this means anything.
They are attached. I modded some other drivers I found earlier. Simply, download and install :
http://www.vzam.net/uploadedfiles/WModemDriverInstaller.exe
Run specified 32bit/64bit installer, grab files out of %TEMP%, change value "0b03" to "0c08". Update driver for phone from task manager with that drivers folder. 32-bit modded drivers attached. I don't know how to talk to HTC DIag though.
Could someone try this on unix/linux? I don't have a working box (just sold my eee) Hopefully the drivers install and you get something. Looks like possibly a modem though.

PS - if this file is agains the rules, can a mod remove it? Thanks!
32 bit drivers work
Drivers work with 32 bit windows 7 if you edit the USB device ID in the files, I haven't been able to do anything of interest with it yet aside from read from the phone using QPST and QXDM, it needs to be CID'd to do anything of use, I have no idea how to go about doing it with an andriod based device.... any suggestions?
The Hero drivers work great.
Just download the Hero drivers. Then use the latest version of QPST, with ##DIAG#.
Works great. You probably don't need to go through all of that other pain to accomplish the same goal. Good find though.
So is this a dead end?

Can't ODIN?

So, I've never had a problem with ODIN before, but today, while trying to ODIN back to stock (Obsidian V2 isn't working, so I'm seeing if that's the problem) I got the little Windows Error Message that says "USB Device Not Recognized" and then some other bull****. I know that I installed the Drivers (at least I think they were the right drivers) and I plugged into all 4 of my USB ports and still get the same message.
I had the same issue once. Try uninstalling the drivers you have and download and install a fresh set. That worked for me.
hmmm... I tried that (numerous times) and it still isn't working. All I get is "USB Device Not Recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." The drivers are installed, reinstalled, and re-reinstalled. I even tried to go in and change it to the right drivers myself, but no dice...
I had this problem, and got it fixed. Download the 64 bit drivers, you can find the link in the vibrant bible, and it should dl as a zip file. Unzip it on your pc, then from your windows device manager, reinstall the drivers for the unrecognized device, and point it at the 64 bit drivers folder you just unzipped. It should load the drivers and be recognized. If other devices also pop up, point them at the same folder. I did this oj a 32 bit win7 system and it worked great. Good luck.

Wait, I'm confused... what do you mean point it at the 64-bit drivers? I'm not much of a Windows guy...

I've only got the one Windows machine at my house... I can't do anything else until my mom gets back into town this weekend.
Sorry I assumed you were somewhat of an advanced user. If you are using a windows system, download and unzip the 64 bit drivers I mentioned above. Access Windows device manager from the control panel to view the systems devices. The devices that are not loaded properly will be easy to identify. You the right click on the device, choose "reinstall driver", then "have driver file" (or something very similar, i don't have the specific verbage in front of me), and then select the folder where you unzipped the previously mentioned 64 bit drivers. It should then load the drivers and recognize the device. As a note, you should have your phone in dl mode and plugged in so that windows actively sees the phone.
Hope this helps and its not over your head. I work in IT sometimes my explanations can be too technical, but i tried not to do that here. If your near central colorado I'd offer some in person help at this point. Hope you can get it fixed.

ah, thanks... I wouldn't call myself advanced... adept at best. Before I got the Vibrant, I was a HARDCORE Apple fan... Still an Apple fan, but not so hardcore lol
So I tried doing exactly what you said and it keeps saying "Your device drivers are already up-to-date" even though it still shows up as "Unknown Device" and already said "Device Driver Software could not be found"
Did you let it auto detect the driver or did you select have disk and then browse to the unzipped driver folder?

I tried both.
At this point, the last advice i have is to completely uninstall all drivers for the galaxy s, from add remove programs, then reboot your pc and try the 64 bit installation again before reinstalling the normal drivers, if that doesnt work, see if you can use a friends pc, install the normal drivers and see if it works on a different computer.

[SOLVED] Problem installing USB drivers for ADB

So I set out to root my phone and am in the process to trying to install the USB drivers so i can use ADB. At first, windows installed it's own drivers, which obviously didn't work. I tried to update the drivers in the device manager to the ones located in the google-usb directory, but it said i already had the latest installed.
Next i decided to uninstall the current drivers completely and start over. I then told it to install the drivers that were located the in the google-usb directory. It said no drivers were found. They were obviously there, so i manually gave it the "android_winusb.inf" driver as per the cyanogen mod wiki page instructions on installing the drivers. It then said that "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I'm new to this so thanks for any help at all. I really want to learn my way around this kind of stuff.
Try it with your phone in mass storage mode with debugging on.
Still no luck. I've had it in debugging mode and charge only. Switched to disk drive mode and no change
Just download HTC Sync and use the drivers it provides. Should work for using adb.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Now it can't even find HTC Sync on my computer... It's installed and i just used it the other day. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that i uninstalled the drivers it had? It can't communicate now?
This is what I used, worked great.
This might help also, he goes over installing the drivers a few minutes in.
Hope it works out for you.

You're more than welcome. You might re-title the post with [Solved] at the beginning so anyone with the same problem know to look here.
Just wanted to mention here that this was noted a while back and the CM Wiki will be updated with an easy way to correct this for Thunderbolt as well as other devices soon.
what's the solve?

[Q] ADB on Windows 8

I've been unable to install the ADB drivers for the Nook Tablet on Windows 8. I get as far as browsing to the folder which contains the inf file after clicking on Have Disk... and I get a message saying Windows could not find driver software for your device. I've tried on two different computers.
Has anyone had any luck installing the ADB drivers for the NT? I'm running Windows 8 RTM.
question: why would you have windows 8...
whatever
If I am correct I heard you need to disable drivers signature checking by Windows (google it, shouldn't be hard) and then it works like 7.

Because many people are allowed to have it for beta testing as well as corporate enterprise testing. It isn't pirated if that is the reason for the why followed by the whatever.
my bad homie, wasn't accusing you of nothing
but my reply did it work?
(Shrug) I didn't post with the problem I was just addressing what seemed like a possible disgust emotion brewing for having pirated software. Just wanted to set the record straight for those not in the know about Win 8's release status.

Driver issues

Trying to attempt to root my phone. my linux machine is toast so I'm working with a roomates win7 laptop. ADB is running and we were able to root his RAZR without issue. Right now though it seems like I'm stuck on my phone because we can't seem to get the drivers to install properly. Tried using the download from Firebalas post to no avail. It looks like the driver labeled Android Phone fails to install. I feel like I'm missing something super simple. If anyone has an idea or an updated install package it would be much appreciated.
