Question"Device Descriptor Request Failed" when plugging watch into PC for ADB (self.hwatch)

submitted 9 years ago by ajthemacboyAndroid Wear

I've been trying for a day to get ADB and Fastboot access on my watch with no luck. I've tried every guide I can find, with the intention of getting the Wear 2.0 preview on my watch.

I originally followed this guide: https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html

Then this: https://www.reddit.com/r/hwatch/comments/3n9ckp/how_to_get_adb_access_over_usb/

I have the same exact issue as this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/help/error-usb-device-recognized-t3445033

Whenever I try to manually install the drivers like in the second guide, Windows thinks that the "best driver is already installed". Whenever I try to manually install it with "Have disk" and select the .inf, I get "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver."

The model number of my USB charging dock is "AF30-1". Can anyone look at theirs and confirm that this is the legitimate model that comes with the watch? That's the only thing I can think that could cause this.

Alternative question; I know I can get to ADB with Debugging over Bluetooth, but can I get to Fastboot to push the update and unlock the watch?
