Droid Incredible not recognized by Eclipse after Gingerbread upgrade

Question

I had to wipe the device before the system upgrade from 2.2 would work. After the upgrade to 2.3.4 it no longer shows up in Eclipse's Devices tab. I've set the usual debugging options on the phone and updated the Android SDK Manager but no luck. I noticed that the SDK Manager has 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 options but nothing for 2.3.4 which I am now running. Do I need a new USB driver, and if so, from where? Maybe some other simple phone setting I've forgotten? Running Helios on Windows 7. All suggestions appreciated.

Answer 1

Turning off auto-play was the key. apesa asked exactly the right question which led me to discover the problem was that the USB drivers for the upgraded phone did not install due to the fact that I keep auto-play turned off on my PC. Allowing auto-play to do its magic solved my huge frustration. Note that this issue may apply to many more devices than just the Incredible.
