Usb Driver Problems

Ok. Right now I'm trying to root my nexus. I'm stuck at installing the usb driver. I tried following this tutorial /showthread.php?t=613217 but every time i choose the driver and it searches it tells me it "couldn't find a better match for my hardware" and the driver doesn't install. I've tried 2 different computers, a macbook pro dual booted with Win XP media center Sp 2 and a dell XP media center Sp 3. No luck with either of them. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? its getting really anoying

I'm having the same issue myself i think.
Look under N1 Q&A and find the topic "N1 Bricked"
Glad to know im not the only one

I have a iMac and I never even had to worry about drivers.
Just download/install/setup the Android SDK and the rest is automatic.
I have a tutorial called ADB 4 Dummies that will walk you through installing the android sdk 2.2(froyo) and setting up your environments. Step by step for every system.
First thing, unplug your Phone from computer, uninstall ALL drivers and try from scratch.
Also, if you're using windows, when you're done and you plug in your phone, don't choose to "automatically find drivers" instead manually point it to the drivers folder in the SDK.
Don't worry, it's not bricked. lol.

Hmmmm....
There are 2 modes to the bootloader HBOOT and Fastboot.
Make sure you're phone is in fastboot mode... it should say FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red on top. If it doesn't, use the volume down key, select Fastboot and hit the power button once to switch the phone to fastboot.
Remember, "adb devices" works while your phone is turned on regular. If your phone is in Fastboot mode use "fastboot devices"
Ok, are you using windows? If you are;
Turn off your phone and boot it back up in Bootloader mode. (trackball+pwr, or volume down+pwr)
Once it's on bootloader, plug it in to the computer.
See if the computer asks for any drivers, etc. If it does point it to the Drivers folder in the SDK. If it doesn't... go into your Device Manager. (Right click on MY COMPUTER, click on MANAGE and when computer management opens up, go to Device manager from the list on the left). Look to see if there are any icons with an Exclamation mark and yellow background. If there is, right click on it, select update driver and point it to the drivers folder in the sdk.
Basically there should be a menu on top that says "Android Phone" and when you expand that selection you'll see "Android Bootloader Interface".

nope, no luck with that either, I tried it both on windows XP and windows 7. same error each time. Could it be a problem with my device? because Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the nexus as a storage device or anything

Damn. I think i'm out of options. Last thing to try:
- Turn on phone regular.
- Plug in through USB to computer (try a different USB cable, even if that one worked with the CLIQ, try a different USB port also.)
- On Phone: GO to settings, Application Settings, Development, USB Debugging, (if it's checked on, check it off then on again) make sure it's ON.
Go into your Android SDK folder, go into the TOOLS folder. Now click on DDMS. See if it lists your device...
Last thing would be to go back through the Device Manager, and click on SCAN HARDWARE while your phone is plugged in... It has to be on that list somewhere, whether it's a bad driver, etc, it should still appear in your device manager somehow.

alright that didnt work, but, i got it, i just kept unplugging and plugging back in my phone until adb recognized it. then i got fastboot to run and now i have superuser . But now im stuck at another point. I'm trying to do the recovery.img file. I tried in mobile terminal "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it told me something like "flash_image not found" I saw that i could do this via fast boot but i dont know how to do that. how would i do fastboot on Mac?

http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/6-upgrade-nexus-one-recovery

when i try to do the fastboot command i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found" i dont think i have fastboot set up right

have you tried typing in "./" before the command? I found that that was one of my mistakes I did when I first rooted my phone

tried that, entered "./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img" and i just get "waiting for device"

I believe you can also try "./fastboot-mac flash recovery ./recovery.img"

Alright I flashed a clockwork recovery through the app manager in the market. Is there any way I can apply the other recovery with an update.zip?
Also, thanks so much for all the help guys!!!!!!!!!!

you can do it through terminal emulator, if you go to amonra's recovery thread he tells you how.
this is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829

fastboot somtimes doesn't come in the SDK... download the version for your system from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/5-unlock-nexus-one-bootloader
place it in your androidsdk/tools folder

ADB logcat setup, etc.

I've Google'd the topic and all the comes up are my own post in the Dev sections where I asked how to create/get a logcat. I can "adb logcat" to a text file, then it shows "waiting for device". Now what's the procedure or setup on the S7 end? I've turned On adb debugging options in the S7. Can/ls this done by USB? The "adb devices" command while plugged into the USB shows nothing. I can connect in Fastboot mode and "adb devices" shows nothing also. Or is more of the Android SDK package needed for this?

Did you install the adb drivers?

Hmm, since I've never used adb commands in the past, maybe not! Are they installed from a EXE file or in a INF fashion?

Download and extract, boot up device, make sure ADB is turned on device, then plug it into the computer, go to My Computer > Manage > Device Management, you should see something pop up with a yellow triangle, install the driver, it will ask you for the location point it to where you extracted the download at.

I may have never really installed ADB drivers, only Fastboot months ago. I feel like a real noobie again! Thinking that I missed the ADB drivers somehow I found that post on my own but take a look at the link. See anything missing??

Yep, that's a link to the page but where's a link to actual file download? I think the third comment on the page mentions this.
If I'm not missing the driver files, I wonder if it might be that I NVflashed CM10 again but didn't allow it to reboot before restoring a TWRP backup?

All the old links to files have been changed since the DNS problems but I found a link to the old files at StreakDroid and the DNS issued is fixed. Download, unzipped, nothing looks any different to what I already have. I still tried the package anyway and it still can't find it's driver. Next I'm going to NVflash CM10 again and let it boot up fully and try it then before restoring my TWRP backup.

I had the same problem the other day when i flashed mine to CM10.
In the end the procedure which worked for me was to unplug the usb cable from my laptop.
Press the small button to hard power off the device.
Boot the device to CM10 again.
Plug the device in to a different USB port.
Then i went in to device manager and found a "dell" device which i right clicked then update drivers and pointed to the folder where i had the adb drivers downloaded to. It found them and installed the devices as an adbx device.
Then i unplugged from usb again and plugged it back in. At this point i ran the logcat command and it started logging.

I tried exactly as you outlined and it still didn't find the needed drivers. Funny as it shows a "B10B" as the unknown device and in the two WIN32 INF files that is a Dell parameter ID.
I may try my TWRP backup to ICS-B4 again before I NVflash again sometime today.
EDIT:
Restored my TWRP ICS-B4 backup but it can't find its drivers either and I tried swapping ports also. One thing though, instead of "B10B" showing up in "Other Devices", I get "Android". An NVflash is next, maybe a TWRP backup breaks ADB??

Ah, what do you mean? ADB isn't going to work? It didn't work after another NVflash and allowed to boot up.

It works just fine.

I'm stumped!

Got it! I had use the pick device option route which led to Android to ADB Interface or ADB Composite Interface. I selected the non-composite option, used those same files again and it installed the proper drivers. I have no idea and don't really care. What a PITA!

[Q] Kindle hd 7.4.6 stuck on twrp no os and cant find it under adb devices

Hello, This is my first ever post on this site. I'm a beginner so take it easy,"if you can"
i have searched all the post i could find both google and xda. i seem to be stuck in twrp mode every time it boots it goes directly to the
twrp menu. i found i have no os installed and no files at all even the twrp.zip file which i had it saved on the /sdcard/downloads. im not to familiar with fastboot but i think i can get it into it by using the factory cable but i can see it on my comp as kindle but missing drivers. i tried installing drivers but to no avail. what can i do... please help if you can and ask for more info if you need it. Thank you

You shouldn't nessasrily need fastboot to fix this, I'm assuming the drivers you don't have installed for twrp is the adb device, so try updating Ur drivers with this version of the drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44446906
Once the adb driver work you should be able to go I to twrp, hit advanced, then hit side load, and swipe to start side load, and with it plugged I to your PC put either a cm ROM or the stock rooted amazon ROM from android development into the same folder as your adb command, and run a line with this syntax in a command prompt: adb sideload myrom.zip
If that doesn't work you might be able to use adb push when not in side load mode but I haven't tinkered to much with twrp. If you must resort to using fastboot you shouldn't even need a factory cable in this case, as u can just go into twrp and hit reboot and tap bootloader, that should put you in fastboot. Hope this helps.

Ok guys thanks a lot to stunts513 i have got it fixed. i will explain it to all the noobs out there what i did.
Like stunts513 said download the drivers from the link he provided, ok once you download it you will see a whole bunch of files but no exe files
like i said i was a noob and i was stuck on how to install the drivers, what you do, is you go to the device manager and click update drivers on the unknown or kindle with the yellow sign (assuming you have one) the click "let me pick from a list....." next if you see "have a disk" click that if you dont see it, hit next you will see it then. now point it toward the "usb drivers file" you just downloaded there should be a .inf file there click it and say open (next-next-next) your done on that part then follow his instructions
when you reach the part of the adb command this is what i did, i moved the file to where my adb was right next to adb.exe. i named it com10.zip to make it short and easy to type. you then start the adb by typing cd (wherever you placed your adb setup, mine was in C:\Users\MN\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130717\sdk\platform-tools) then type adb devices to see if your kindle is under there it should, mine at the time said something like "12312if8923823f recovery" before you type adb sideload make sure you are in the twrp menu and your in the sideload option. you then type adb sideload yourfilename.zip ....... "yourfilename meaning the file you wanted to transfer which should be in the adb tool section" it will start to transfer, when it was finished go and flash it your done.
One other thing that i had a problem with was, i couldn't get the kindle to connect to my computer, what you do is while it is connected uninstall the driver first in the devicemanager, then go to program files and the amazon folder keep going until you get to a folder with a uninstall .exe click it and uninstall it, then disconnect and then install the kindle drivers the reconnect there you go.
I hope i helped anyone had a similar problem cause i was up since 3 am in the morning working on this lol " i had hard bricked a kindle before, i was determined not to let it happen again"

Thanks, this helped.

Another noob here, first post. Firstly, thanks very much, this was also a great help to me. Just wanted to say i had a little trouble with the sideload command. Kept returning the error * cannot read 'com10.zip' *. Despite being in the same directory as the adb, to fix you must give the directory in the command like so:
adb sideload C:\pathToAdb\com10.zip
Just in case anyone is having the same issue. Cheers again

using osx to unlock bootloader???

first, i have already unlocked my bootloader using windblowz on a boot camp partition of my mac. BUT, since android is a unix-like os, and osx is a unix-like os, FOR MY OWN EDUCATION, i want to be able to use the osx terminal to do this stuff to my n6.
so here's what i tried, and none of it works... as in, none of it even results in any like link between my phone and my osx computer.
1) i watched this youtube video from droidmodderX, and followed it to the letter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUkcWlknFsE
from the time he plugs his n6 into his mac, NOTHING he says will happen, actually happened. it was as if i had plugged the phone into nothing. He says NOTHING about installing the android SDK for osx in his video. sooo....
2) next, i install the android SDK for osx, thinking droidmodderX was just careless in his video, and forgot to mention that you need to do this. NOTHING. i open the terminal and run the various fastboot commands from the root directory... NOTHING. using the terminal, i change over to the directory where i actually put the SDK, and then run the fastboot/adb commands from terminal again, and NOTHING. I tried this with the phone in fastboot, and with the phone not in fastboot, and NOTHING.
so how do you get osx to talk to this phone with fastboot/adb commands using the terminal?
fwiw, android file transfer works fine in the gui, so i know the physical connecction is good.
also, fwiw, i did use the search function and someone asked a similar question about his n5 about a year ago... and got no answer. not a single one.
-peter

If you run "./adb devices" without quotes does it see the phone at all? Make sure you have the most up to date SDK for OS X and also make sure you update the platform-tools in the SDK manager.
Check this thread out, might help a bit.
EDIT: Try running the commands as root/sudo.

I used this method on my MacBook Air to root my device without any issues. Make sure that you are in the correct folder when executing the commands. The first time it should ask you for your password. Also make sure that you have USB debugging enabled on your phone and that you are in the bootloader. You can also try to download Android File Transfer (google it) and see if it works with your phone. Hope that this helps.

You're aware that the bootloader on the Nexus 6 can be unlocked simply by toggling "Enable OEM Unlock" under Developer Settings, right?
With that said, I agree that it is smart to keep up with proper ADB/Fastboot commands as those are the most sure fire way to get you out of a pinch.
I have had absolutely no issues using Terminal to perform Fastboot commands on my Nexus 6 using my Mac with OSX Yosemite. As long as you get it setup correctly you should have no issues.
I just dug up the detailed instructions I used to get my Mac setup for this. Start from scratch, follow these instructions and you should be good to go:

As I said in my original post, I already have Android File Transfer, no need to google it. It works great. Had it for years.
I made some headway when I started using ./adb before each command. It sees my device now and when i ran ./adb help, it put out a list of commands and switches in the terminal, that I'm starting to play with. thanks for the ./adb clue. that was a biggie now using ./adb i can reboot and boot into bootloader. but for example "./adb fastboot oem lock", (without the quotes), does nothing. (i used "oem lock" as a test, because the bootloader is already unlocked)

No worries at all - I was frustrated myself until I found the YouTube video. I think after ./ you need a space before you use the command line. What I did was put the CF auto-root folder (unzipped) on my desktop. I renamed the folder CF to make it easy. I opened the folder and doubled clicked on the Mac file. It should open and say just press enter - it will not work. Keep the folder open and open up the terminal. Here is what I had to do.
Put the phone is download mode with "Start" appearing - then plug into computer. (make sure debugging on)
cd /Users/mycomputername/desktop/CF - I needed a space after cd
paste and copy the 3 sudo commands (with the sudo) out of the CF folder one at a time - pressing enter after each.
The first enter - you should be asked for your password.

Going well now guys thanks. I like having two unix-like devices (osx computer and android handset), talking without needing drivers.

Windows 10 Razer phone 2 driver problem.

Hello everybody I was able to unlock the bootloader but when I put the phone in bootloader mode it doesn't even see the phone on the computer I've tried going to platform tools and command prompt and did ADB devices and it won't see it. it won't even see it in fastboot. I've tried the driver installation guide but it doesn't work. Can someone please help me? I am running Windows 10 64-bit on a Acer nitro 5

I had this issue myself when I tried unlocking. It seems when you type fastboot, CMD keeps using an older version. You will need to directly call /fastboot.exe, wherever the full path is, and have your Razer in bootloader mode (it took me an hour to figure out I already had it in bootloader mode), and hopefully it will find it.
TLDR: Make sure adb and fastboot are being executed from their actual paths and that they are the latest.
Also USB debugging is on? Did you check the notifications?

Yes usb debug mode is on...

I vaguely recall having the same issue, and fixed it by going into the Device Manager and installing a different driver for the phone. I can't remember exactly which one it was (I want to say it said something about fastboot). This was after booting into fastboot of course, since Windows uses a different driver for when it's in fastboot vs when it's booted normally.

Heres what I did:
1) Download https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
2) Extract to a folder in your desktop.
3) Go into the folder and look for android_winusb.inf
4) Right click it and choose install.
5) Press the windows button and X at the same time and choose device manager.
6) Plug the phone in and find the device in the device manager. It could be in a couple different device trees, so you'll have to find it.
7) Right click and choose update driver. Choose browse, then browse again, and find the folder on your desktop with the drivers. choose that same .inf file from earlier.
8) You'll have 3 different options. I've always had success with the ADB Composite driver.

I vaguely recall having the same issue, and fixed it by going into the Device Manager and installing a different driver for the phone. I can't remember exactly which one it was (I want to say it said something about fastboot). This was after booting into fastboot of course, since Windows uses a different driver for when it's in fastboot vs when it's booted normally.

After I update it the software drivers for the computer it says Razer phone 2 but it doesn't work right. I tried doing one of those scripts to reflash to stock software and it doesn't do Jack squat it sits there waiting for device.

use samsungs usb driver installer and change adb driver to Samsung's version in device manager. should see fastboot device now .

The CPU AMD and windows 10 has an issues with fasboot driver everytime that you put command in fastboot the screen changes and starts displaying following message "Press any key to shutdown" waiting for devices or stuck on fastboot "sending system ...123,456kb. No need to find any cable to fix this just install windows 7 and flashing step by step then the problem will be solved

Lol okay..that's about as random as "hey anybody reading this thinking about getting an S20 Ultra or one of the others"
I am....

I had the same problem. I never could get it to work in Windows. Luckily, however, I have an Ubuntu dual boot on my system, so I installed ADB & Fastboot on linux, put the phone in download mode, plugged it in, and it showed up without issue. This won't help for everybody, but if you have a linux machine, or a you can install a dual boot, it'll get you where you need to be. And it's a lot easier than Windows. You might be able to do a USB pass through, to a VM, but I haven't tested it. It could be worth a shot, if you don't have any other options.

Hi All,
Thought I would post this on here for you all, might help someone else like it did me.
What ImperialMe said is correct and I was able to do both my Razor 1 and 2 using it.

The easy method is to download the Ubuntu Image for Windows (ubuntu.com/download/desktop)
Once you have it, burn it to USB using Rufus (rufus.ie)
Boot into the USB on your PC and when prompted just run as is, no need to install.
Once running, open a terminal window and with internet access and run the following:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update
Now run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
When promoted press Y and enter
Now run:
Code:
sudo adb start-server
Connect your phone, turned on and on the home screen for example. Run the following
Code:
sudo adb devices
You should see your device listed as unauthorised and get a prompt for ADB access on the mobile phone.
run it again to confirm its authorised and then enter:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once rebooted, use the menu to select boot into fastboot on the phone
Now back to the terminal window, enter:
Code:
Fastboot devices
You should now see your device listed and commands should work as expected.
If you need to copy anything over to the temporary USB OS then use another USB drive and copy them to it before you boot the OS.
I tried this in a VM and VMWare and HyperV both failed as the drivers they use are still Windows based and failed. Only a full OS worked.
Hope this helps someone else!
