Have you turned on USB Debugging under Settings>Developer Options>Debugging ??
If you haven't, then turn it on and then try rooting :silly:

"WAITING FOR DEVICE" is sign u have to active this option SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> USB Debugging :highfive:

I did that, I'm not that ignorant.

Tried Connecting the USB cable to some other free USB port in your computer??
Or you could try uninstalling the drivers under Device manager...and then reconnecting the USB cable..:fingers-crossed:

By the way, i followed DoomLord tutorial to root the phone. Is it possible to "unroot" the phone then ? Without losing the change ?
In fact i needed to be root to change a system file to fix wifi

[Q] Computer won't connect to phone using fastboot

So I have a rooted and unlocked phone and have been trying to get back to stock, unrooted and relocked. However, I can't seem to get my computer to identify my phone. I have followed the guides on here, I have ADB with all the stuff downloaded and I can get the phone into fastboot. But, when I go into CMD (launched from the correct folder) and type:
fastboot devices
I get a blank response. It isn't recognizing my phone. I have tried going into device manager and deleting the drivers and re-installing but my computer says it can't find the drivers online.

Have you checked to make sure usb debugging is ticked on? Sometimes, if it is, you need to un-tick it and then re-tick. Resetting helps and we always forget to check!

[Q] Nexus 6 not recognized by pc after been fully wiped out

Hi guys
Really need urgent help on this one
I wanted to update my nexus 6 to latest5.0.1.
Usually i flash factory images but this time i tried to sideload. This is what i did.
I wanted to factory reset my phone and wipe everything and then side load. so i used TWRP and wiped by mistake the android OS. Now im left with nothing but twrp which also deleted my recovery file.
Now i can access my bootloader and twrp.
My main problem is that when i plug my phone to my pc it does not recognize it and i tried every possible way suggested by NRT tool to update my driver and no luck?
When i plug it to the pc it charges and i get baloon message that pc did not recognized the device.
Im using original cable.
Any help is really appreciated
Thanks

if your pc can recognize your device in fastboot mode then you can go this thread

If mother board was damaged, you were not able to enter in bootloader Try installing universal driver as other suggested above or install motorola's driver

Enable usb debugging in developer options on the phone, then choose either the drivers posted above or the Google usb drivers from the sdk. Choose to install the drivers manualy in device manager when connected to the pc.

Debugging is both impossible and useless.
Can't set USB debugging if android is not installed. USB debugging only works in android anyway. It has no affect on bootloader or recovery

99.99999999 .... % of the issue is USB Drivers on the PC in question.
I'd uninstall, then reinstall, or try the universal ones.
Try on another PC if available, once seen you can get it back.

Hi guys

And let me know if u found the problem.

[HELP] Problems trying to flash to stock, to flash to Android N

So I am currently rooted on a Motorla Nexus 6 in Android 5.1.1, I started up the Nexus Root Toolkit and when it finishes downloading stock Android 60.1 to restore my device ready for Android N it sends the adb reboot bootloader command but my device then says in the bootloader menu "Connect USB Data Cable"
Since I cannot post the image link of what the toolkit says then I will just write it below...
"FASTBOOT device was not found
STEP #1: Connect your device via USB:
- Utilize the OEM USB cable if available
- Try an alternative USB port.
STEP #2: Manually Boot your device into bootloader mode:
- Power your device down completely:
- Press and hold the volume down button, them press and hold the power button t the same time until the phone turns on. You'll see the word 'start' with an arrow around it/
STEP #3: Install drivers:
- Utilize the 'initial setup' if you not done so already.
- USB debugging is NOT required for connectivity in bootloader mode.
- Just follow the the instructions in the guide for configuring your device in bootloader mode.
- For example: if you are using driver solution #3, start on step 7.
Alternatively you may just need to recheck connection.
Press 'OK' to recheck device connectivity.
Press 'Cancel' to exit this script"
If anyone has any info on how to get around or resolve this issue as I cannot proceed with the stock flash unless the Fastboot connectivity is working, then that would be great
(if it helps I already have Android Studio installed with all its components)

Make sure you have develops options unlocked and usb debugging enabled.. Then unplug cord and plug it back in.

Still the same man, my Laptop has the Google Nexus ADB drivers installed but for some reason the Root Toolkit does not detect Fastboot in my phone

did you install adb and fastboot onto your computer? it doesnt matter if you have the driver installed if you dont have the actual program installed onto your computer. and anyways, learn to do it right instead of using a toolkit, its very easy.

All sorted now I think lol, I will close this thread when I finish. if it fails horribly then I will let you know (p.s I use the cmd most the time it's just I use the Toolkit to download and install stock)

please dont close the thread, people always have issues, maybe someone will read this thread and it will help them.
and about toolkits, i dont recommend using them, but feel free to. its just many dont take the time to learn to do it the "right" way. but if you do know it, a toolkit is alright usually.

Okay, I will keep it open and also everything is fine now, I am now on Android N preview (had it for 5 mins and I love it)

Stuck at loading screen when booting

I found out this morning that my phone had cut off during the night. When I tried to turn the phone back up it just stayed at the loading screen and does not go any further than that. I can get into Fastboot/recovery but not sure what is going on. Phone is locked as well.
I am running on Developer preview 5 and I assuming it has something to do with this. I have read up on others having issues and talk about sideloading the OTA that has resolved the issue but my computer does not even detect the device, so adb does not see the device. Feel like if I can just get my computer to detect my phone I'll be in business.
Really need some help on this one as it is starting to look like I am going to have a nice paper weight the rate its going. Thank you in advance.

If I understand correctly, you can get to fastboot mode. If you then plug in the usb cable, and type fastboot devices, does the computer recognize it?
Have you ever connected to the phone using your computer and either adb or fastboot? In other words, is there a high level of confidence that the drivers are setup on your computer?

That is correct, I am able to get into fastboot mode, the phone will detect a USB cable "will say transfer mode: USB connected" but when I am in command prompt on my computer and type in "adb devices" it finds nothing.
I've had experience with using adb/fastboot on my moto x 2014 but this is the first time doing this on my nexus and I am pretty sure I had never hooked up my nexus to this computer before this issue happened. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is a driver issue but I have downloaded Android sdk and gone into sdk manager to have it install google drivers. I just now now played around with Nexus Root toolkit to assist in installing drivers with the same results. I had used the tool to uninstall any drivers that could have impacted this and reinstalled with no luck.

When you are in fastboot mode, and connect to your computer, you should run "fastboot devices", instead of "adb devices".

You are correct, device does show up when type in fastboot devices. Guess that is what I get when trying to do this while I am at work and haven't messed with this type of stuff in months. I really appreciate the fast response on this and my derp moment. Now to try and side load the OTA to see if I can bring my phone back to life. Looks like I just need to go into custom recovery and select "Apply Update from ADB" and hopefully I'll be in business.

Well at this point I was able to side load the OTA DP5 build and its doing the same thing. Trying a factory reset now to see if that will make a difference but if not looks like I am going to have to go out and get me a new phone till I can get this one fixed or RMA'ed. Just stuck at the loading animation.
Edit: Factory restore finally brought it back to life. Thank you again for the quick help and assistance on this!
