windows driver in recovery mode

---

possibly silly question, seeing everyone is saying the rooting problem is something different(drivers(htc/pdanet/android sdk), sdcard, computer(OS)). you guys that have gotten ADB to successfully get the phone recognized in recovery mode:

Did the phone show up in the device manager for windows?

i feel like windows has to register the phone under a certain driver in order for ADB to pick it up(otherwise the OS doesn't recognize it like any other piece of hardware). maybe part of the problem is some people don't have a recovery driver?

just throwing it out there since I have tried every method on the forum except using the original sdcard that came with the phone(it's my my gf's phone at the moment and i haven't been able to get it from her)

also, does anyone know what eugene's setup is? OS, drivers, sdk version? or eugene if you see this, it would be wonderful if you could chime in.

Im in the process of trying to root my buddy's phone after successfully rooting mine, and this was the same thing I was thinking. Using USBDeview, there is a device in recovery mode called "Android 1.0".

When my phone is connected, it says "Connected: Yes" on that device, however when his is plugged in it won't recognize it.

I kept thinking it had to do with drivers too... but I'm not sure where to go with it now...

What OS are you using? 32 or 64 bit? Do you have HTC Sync installed?

i've used winxp pro 32bit, win7 pro 64bit, win7 ultimate 64bit. i tried the htc drivers, the pdanet drivers and the sdk drivers. i just made a ubuntu boot drive, i think im going to try that later tonight.

and i think chrisinaz is trying to root his friends phone on the same computer he did his on if i'm not mistaken.

Using xp 32 bit and fedora 13. Neither work for his, both work for mine.

Where it says android 1.0 this is the driver that you need to update. I used the PDANet driver to update it.
