Universal ADB Drivers is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system. It is in drivers hardware category and is available to all software users as a free download.
I'm trying to test an application on an old HTC Incredible S smartphone (running Android 4.0.4). I've enabled USB debugging on the phone and connected the USB cable, but .adb devices doesn't detect it.
I've successfully tested my app on an android tablet via USB, so I suppose the problem is with the ADB driver for my HTC device. I can transfer files to the HTC phone, but I can't use ADB to debug on it.
I'm using Android Studio with the SDK on Windows 10, with all current updates installed. I tried installing HTC Sync, but it didn't help. I've looked for the appropriate oem-usb driver at www.htc.com but couldn't find it.
I've found links to various 'universal USB drivers' online, but don't know what's trustworthy and what's potential malware. Hoping someone more experienced can help!

I have been debugging on an HTC Desire for which I had the ADB drivers. Now I have been forced to debugging on an HTC One X, but I can't find the driver anywhere. The standard HTC driver that used with my desire (Running Android 2.2) does not get recognized as the right driver for the One X (running Android ICS).
What are the other options that I have to enable launching and USB debugging on the HTC One X through Eclipse Helios ?

Use HTCSync Version: 3.3.21. It has USB driver also. I installed it and after that I could debug my application. Read its help here.
Enjoy!

HTC Sync is a damn bloatware.
The latest naked drivers seem to be maintained in this XDA thread.

You can force windows to use the standard Google ADB driver by selecting 'Browse my computer for driver software', browsing to the Google USB driver folder, then 'Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer'. This should then let you choose 'Android ADB Interface' as the driver for your non Google phone.
Once installed, this works with ADB and Eclipse development as normal.

Here's how you can do it without HTC Sync bloatware:
Download HTC sync from http://www.htc.com/au/support/content.aspx?id=6196
Start the setup
The setup will report that some other components need to be installed first.
If you look at the list, you'll see that the driver is part of it.
Press 'OK', this will install the driver, some DOS boxes will flash up.
The actual HTC sync setup starts. Abort the installation.
Have fun! No reboot was required for me. I didn't even have to re-plug the device.
Tested on Windows 7 64bit.

I installed the Google Windows USB ADB Driver from here
by following the procedure for the Nook Simple Touch. That procedure,found is here
have you paste the following lines into two places in the adt-bundle-windows-x86sdkextrasgoogleusb_driverandroid_winusb.inf file:
Then I had to kill the ADB server and restart it.

To reduce one confusion.
As mentioned above in the answers For Windows 7 64-bit I used the following link:http://androiddrivers.net/htc-android-drivers/download-htc-one-x-64-bit-windows-drivers/
Though when you extract the files the driver is contained within Vista_x64 folder. This is confusing but it installs perfectly fine under Windows 7. I can now easily debug my application on HTC-One X.
Steps for installing the driver:1. Right Click on Computer -> Properties2. Click Device Manager in the Left hand pane3. Find your HTC Device under USB Devices or Android USB Devices.4. Right Click -> Update Driver5. Locate the extracted directory containing the driver i.e 'HTC_Driver_64HTCDriverDriver FilesVista_x64'6. Click Next and install the driver.

For those of you who don't want to install the HTC bloatware, I extracted the USB driver from the package and hosted it on my website a while back, I hope it helps anyone who may still be struggling.

I couldn't find the driver-only for download anywhere. I connected the device and it asked to install the HTC Sync Manager, which installed the driver. But, the Sync Manager was conflicting with ADB - it kept shutting it down for some reason. So, I uninstalled the sync manager. That left the drivers in place. After re-connecting the device, adb worked.

the people who are facing the problem in connecting their htc phone with eclipse. they must install HTC-SYNC from the htc site. htc sync also include the usb debugging driver in it.
