I am happy to release my Universal Naked Driver. This is to allow ADB, Fastboot & APX interfaces to work without installing any package much less multiples packages for users with multiple devices. Yes you can just install them and uninstall right away but why bother?
I was annoyed that I couldnt use my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus without having versions and packages trip over each other. My previous post for the Sensation & Galaxy Nexus was helpful so I thought I would bring to XDA the newest Android driver available from source (which they call 4.0) and make it start talking.
Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

Yes at the moment this works with over 250+ devices. Adding more when I can.

I can't get this installed for my HTC One.
I uninstalled every USB driver I had installed. Plugged my Galaxy 8 back in, and updated one of the drivers to use these after downloading.
I tried ADB on My Galaxy 8 and it worked.
No matter what I try to remove, and install, or update the drivers for the HTC one I can't get it to go.
It says "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.
Any advice?
Thanks

I just manually install the appropriate driver (adb and fastboot for the respective devices dected in each mode) from the android SDK and ignore the warnings about it not being designed for this device. It works perfectly. I've done this with every android phone I've owned. Are there any benefits to doing this vs that?

That will work too, Universal Naked Driver helps with a few aspects:
1) East to find and download
2) SDK Drivers will not work with APX Tegra devices, these do!
2) Works with over 250+ devices
3) Nothing needs to be installed ever such as *.exe's or even the SDK.
4) These are becoming a standard on Windows as they are integrated in most root / tool kits as well, racking in well over a million downloads
Most people will not even want to install the SDK, then Java, etc...
Hope this helps

I've never had it not work, even on the tegra2/3 devices I've owned. Just make sure you pick the right driver when the phone is in each mode, and it'll remember it the next time you connect it and/or the next time you're in that mode.

And you see the device without any issues in in device manager? Is USB debugging enabled? Do you have the latest version of the SDK's driver?
I've used this method on every android device I've owned, this one included (on aosp and sense ROMs) without any issues.

I'm using vista and am unable to get these drivers to install when in fastboot. It keeps saying that "windows was unable to install your Android 1.0" over and over. Can anyone give me a hand? I've been messing around with this for too long to give up now.
Edit: I have the SDK updated, HTC Sync installed and uninstalled, tried manually pointing it to the drivers in the google folder of the SDK... STILL no luck. I'm at my wits end with this. The closest I can get is; When I'm in fastboot, the flyer will have the "Android 1.0" with an yellow triangle.... I can get that to "clear" up by using the HTC drivers, but then it is called "HTC Sync" and ADB still will not list it as a device, until I go back into the Flyer's OS.
Edit 2: I just tried manually telling windows what drivers to use, now it says "Android Phone/Android composite device." Still no ADB connection. ugh.
Edit 3: Got it! Posting my corrective action for others doing a search. I ended up downloading the PDAnet package, it allowed the drivers to install correctly. Running HC now!
OMFG I did it with your file 3 h of trying after download your file PC can see my HTC DESIRE.
Big thx !!!!!

Welcome I just used the new root from jcase with these and all is gravy. I couldn't have released these at a better time. I had them ready last week but lost motivation to release after the bootloader being locked. In light of today's announcement I finished them and posted as soon as I got home from real life.
Do these support HTC as well, or will I need to keep those drivers installed?

Not yet but this is the first package that works with all devices including HTC. I have not added them yet but I will be taking request for phones very soon, I just have to make a quick tutorial for any user to send me the ID's.
Once I add the phones its a nail in coffin scenario.
Only my nexus is showing up in adb =\ any suggestions?
I have both in USB Debugging and ive tried just 1 plugged in
So does this basically install the drivers for the prime in device manager? Is that what this is?
Worked like a charm, this is a great thing, really appreciate it, makes it much easier to do since I have several devices I use to root etc. Keep up the great work

Just so everyone's knows their is really nothing beta about this other then your phone or device may not be added yet. =)
I will try to get a next update soon but its not easy work, not hard either but tedious and I work 65+ hours a week so I will try my best guys.
The good thing is if Goggle releases a new driver no work really needs to be done going forward.
Hm your driver doesn't work with my TF-201 in ICS OTA updated and finally, I using the ASUS Sync V1.0.76 in which working perfectly in my Windows.

Thanks for the details but I have seen not issue with the ICS update as the update would not change your device ID's which are not an OS specific.
I am sure this was a case of the having older driver files while also having multiple registry edits for the attempts of previous drivers.
I will write a small tutorial soon on how to remove old drivers thoroughly to avoid issues like this.
But these work fine with ICS and I am glad that you got your issue resolved at the end of the day.
Any idea why I would get:
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The parameter is incorrect.
Thanks for this... My GNexus decided to no longer be seen in adb, uninstalled drivers and installed this and hey presto... I'm back!
Cheers...
Thanks!! Looks like the link is dead though..can you re-up it?
Wait... How I install? Sorry if I be a n00blet but ???? I only ever seen drivers in an exe. I would be grateful if any one of you wonderful people could answer my question. Thank you and good day/night/evening/morning/afternoon.
Until I update with a better guide.

I will update a mirror soon when I release the upcoming version with HTC support, but it is also attached to the XDA OP post of this thread.
Thanks for this, I tried installing it for my Transformer Prime in Win7 x64, the drivers showed up happily (I had to force the install through device manager/browse devices/have disk).
It installed without any bangs, showed up in device manager as ASUS Transformer Prime ADB Interface or such, but adb devices doesn't show it up. I tried unplugging/replugging, uninstalling-reinstalling, nothing.
Also, with these drivers installed how can we switch between MTP mode and ADB mode? I don't want to lose access to my storage

Hello not sure why it will not show you your device when running "adb devices" but possibly from trying other drivers before?
Also this should not interfere with the MTP mode but I will check that as well.

[Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions

I have collected a few different versions of unmodified HTC drivers for Windows, all pulled from the HTC Sync application. I thought I'd post them for general consumption in case folks want to experiment.
HTC Drivers Folder at MediaFire
Versions 3.x are compatible with Window 7 and earlier
Versions 4.0-4.8 are compatible with Windows 8 and earlier
Version 4.10+ are compatible with Windows 8.1 and earlier
For most of these drivers packages, there is no "successfully installed" message. They were pulled from the HTC Sync installer, so the driver package is meant to install silently. You can verify their installation by looking for "HTC Drivers" in Programs under the Control Panel and making sure the version number matches what you just installed.
is there any difference between the drivers?

I was under the impression that the 4.x series natively supports Win8, but don't have a way to test this myself. I put in a request at the thread you mentioned and will see if anyone responds.

I suspect you're using Win 8.1? I think the drivers still are not working quite right with Windows 8.1 and older versions of HBOOT (like our phone has).
I figured that was the culprit thanks I'll try on Windows 7

[Solved] All Xperia Drivers Problems

Hi there
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone to the PC and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.

nope, windows 8+ is different
I'm getting a lot of problems with drivers for this device, seems Sony's guys did it just to say:
"Ok, now this device got some drivers, lets play poker :"
It's serious. To get ADB driver working was a lot of work, just got it working because our friend Ashu1307 posted this link for me ( maybe it can work for ya= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552505)
Ok, that's nice since it was the only driver that's not working on windows 7.
I said windows 7
Now I'm on windows XP, tryied 2 machines already, and this goddam piece of **** don't have any driver working. Nothing, neither MTP, nor fastboot nor ADB nor flashmode (mass storage works, the ones I've quoted are detected, but don't work)
PC companion is another thing I'm hating. First I have to download the Web Installer, 27MB of nothing, since after the download it has to update because the sony's website offers outdated file. THen I download support zone, which detects phone but not the model.
What do I do? I'm going weird just about to break this phone on the wall, I never had so much problems on motorola's or samsung's or enen old sony ericsson's devices.
Before,my PC used to display an error whenever I tried to transfer files from my pc to my Xperia Sola.But after changing the kernel,I could transfer files with ease.So,do you think the problem in the kernel is related to this error?
I never had problem with drivers.
Trying another computer, still having the problems, I use the DoomKernel, do you think it has to do with it ?

hey friend you could install universal adb drivers and then check it should work..
Here are the two links go check them out...
Universal Windows ADB Driver by Koush
Universal Adb Driver
Hello, my friend I'm sorry, but right now there is probably no way, how to make fastboot work on Windows 8.1. Trust me, I've tried to find a solution for many days, but at the end, I had to use borrowed netbook with Windows 7 installed on it. The problem is, that 8.1 always connects fastboot devices as "Unknown USB's". For those you simply can't install these drivers, even if you try using Safe mode, or if you start system with allowance of unsigned drivers. Basicly what's happening is, that windows thinks, you want to reinstall USB driver, not fastboot driver.
I was thinking about the possibility of using older virtualized system or Linux on which it should work (though you won't find many guides). Keep on trying and don't give up You'll manage to unlock it eventually. The question remains, on which system it would be.
