I have a brand new Nexus One. I'm trying to follow the directions for installing the USB driver. When I plug in the device, it doesn't start the New Hardware Wizard, as the documentation suggests. I can run hdwwiz.exe to launch it and manually install the driver, but when I do, Device Manager says: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

What am I doing wrong here?

Duh. I forgot to enable "USB Debugging" in Settings -> Applications -> Development. As soon as I did that, the New Hardware Wizard appeared and installation went smoothly.

  • Conversely, I couldn't get the memory card to mount in Windows, and UNchecking USB Debugging allowed that to work. – Dave Jul 27 '12 at 16:24
  • USB Debugging on my device was already enabled. Disabled and re-enabled it and it worked. Thanks. – Nail Sep 26 '14 at 23:51

If you are on Windows you also have to install drivers. If you for example have a HTC those drivers are included in the HTC sync software.
