ADB Driver - This device cannot start. (Code 10) -> driving me insane !

[benwake]

Hi everyone,

I really hope someone here can help me, because this driver installation issue is really driving me crazy for more than a week now.

For the rooting, I need the ADB Interface driver, I can install them but the device manager gives me a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error.

These are the things I did:
- Drivers from google
- Drivers from samsung
- Drivers from sites, forums and blogs
- Drivers from the Nexus root toolkit

Even rebooting, completely uninstalling, deleting the driver didn't work.
A fresh install of my backup laptop didn't work even !

Please, if someone has an idea or had the same issue, share your knowledge, because I am getting really desperate now.

Thanks in advance.

try changing your USB port and cable

Thanks for trying to help me.
I've tried 3 different cables and 4 different usb ports, same problem :/

I think I've found it, I followed this tutorial:
[HOWTO] Install Google SDK and ADB drivers in Windows 7 - xda-developers

Going to try this method from xda because I've some troubles too when connecting my Gnex.

Did this solve your problem?

I've been trying the same set of instructions, and I still get the "Device cannot start (Code 10)" error. Any other ideas?

Hello

I'm having the same issue on XPSP3, although the phone...
1. used to work fine and be available in "My Computer" when connecting through USB
2. works fine when using My Phone Explorer to sync Outlook with the phone

I'm not sure, but it could be the latest upgrade to 4.2.1 that killed it: Until a few weeks ago, the phone had not problem being displayed in "My Computer" as an external drive, but now, I have to hook it up to a spare Windows7 host to read off pictures from the phone.

Does someone know what I could try to fix this?

Thank you.

Try a few different USB cables.

From previous experience (replacing micro-USB receptacle on my ThinkPad tablet) I believe pin 4 of either the cable or micro-USB receptacle is not connecting. Note that not all cables use pin 4.

Uninstall existing drivers first.

I hope this helps...

Changing the cable works to allow the computer to recognize as a USB device.

WTF does usb cable have to do with installation of a windows driver My view you people don't know anything about what you're talking about

 

[LucyVanderbuilt]

Awesome contribution to the conversation, fugee. :-/

In actuality, the USB cable has a LOT to do with this issue. As stated above, a lot of USB cables (especially older cables... but even brand new cables if they're cheap enough) don't have some of the proper pins wired up... because they're made for charging only and don't handle any data transfer. Thus, the loading of the drivers isn't the problem (no one said it was, but you)... it's the fact that, when using a cable without the needed pins connected, the device can't handleshake with or communicate with the computer.

Keep using different cables. Chances are you'll find one that works.

I just wanted to jump in to say that I was using the Lenovo charger cable and it didn't work, but then I used the Samsung mini-USB cable I had for my Samsung work tablet and the drivers installed properly.

Apparently the cables really do matter.

There was "S1 Service" driver, i remove the driver i add, and update the S1 driver using file pick method... it worked... i think since S1 is started you cant start another

 

[Fouad Mida]

well the problem is with the cables you need to make sure it has the ability to sync Data Transmission, not just Charging
