It’s a funny thing. When I was trying to get my T-Mobile myTouch4G to connect to my PC using ADB, I found a thread on XDA stating that the drivers for ADB can actually be found on the SD card that came with the phone. Â Lo and behold, there they, are along with a few other surprises.
The Driver is located in a self extracting executable file called “HTCDriver.exe“. Â You can run this file directly from the SD card or copy the file to your desktop computer so you have it for future use if required.
There is also a file called “USB Tethering Read Me.txt” with instructions for tethering as shown below:
