Windows terminal not finding adb device - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm attempting to flash android M on my nexus 6. I've installed the proper drivers from google, after checking in device manager it says the proper drivers are installed. When I enter "adb devices" into the terminal nothing shows up in the list. I've searched through forums and tried the universal adb installer which isn't compatible with Windows8x64, so I used the 15 second installer which worked but didn't change the result. Am I doing anything wrong?

Are you using the usb cable that came with your phone? That's the only one that will allow my PC to recognize my N6.

Yes I am

I use wug's toolkit which includes easy setup for adb and has worked with both Windows 7 and Windows 10. You might try that.
Otherwise, you didn't say whether your device is recognized by the computer when you plug it in. Windows should recognize and try to install drivers for the device automatically when plugged in via USB. If it's not, there's probably something wrong with the cord you're using. If it is recognized, then it might be the drivers of you might not have debugging enabled on your phone.

The computer recognizes the phone and USB debugging is enabled

Forget about adb since you don't use it for flashing anyway. Boot into the bootloader.and type "fastboot devices". That's all that matters. Check drivers and device manager in bootloader too.
Uninstall the device if you have to and set up as per my thread.. Nexus 6 general > sticky roll-up thread > adb and fastboot.

I followed your guide and restarted my windows 8 computer accordingly. When I open the command window and type "fastboot devices" it says that is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

That means you didn't do the environment variables correctly or it didn't take after the reboot.
Confirm the location you have fastboot in is the location in environment variables.

Yes, if you followed my thread and installed the sdk, the fastboot.exe should be in there. The full path is mentioned in my thread. Go.and check that and if it is, go onto the next step about environment variables.. Remember, the variable must be the location of fastboot and MUST start with ;
To be honest, I cheat and simply drop adb and fastboot into c:\windows\system32 as that is already and environment variable.

I think you hit sth!
when tablet is on, adb devices give me return (serial number+device). But, when i adb reboot-bootloader, adb devices give me nth, instead fastboot devices give me return.
When you type in adb devices it returns your device but you'll notice that it says offline next to it.
Therefore you can't send any adb commands to it.
It's a new security measure apparently, the solutions can be found in the forums.

You must make sure to put the files you are flashing in the same folder that fastboot is located, and also to cd to that folder in command prompt.

weird.
I tried fastboot again. Ok, running smoothly at first, but in the end, i got this error:
writing 'bootloader'...
FAILED <status read failed <too many links>>
So i closed the cmd (bcoz when i tried fastboot devices, it shows ????? devices. Then when i forced closed my device and reboot into bootloader, it showed 4.18 as the bootloader version but under SIGNING, it is not defined yet.
Is this correct?

This happened to me when my adb was not working properly, it showed 4.18, but I fixed the adb and installed the bootloader again, just to be sure.

Anyone an idea, why flashing the bootloader does not work with the zip files?
I am somewhere in nowhere and can not fastboot, have only my Nexus 3G with me. Its on 4.2.2 but bootloader still 4.13. Used this ROM:
[ROM][Factory Image][4.2.2] Nakasig -::- Odex, Deodex, Rooted -::- teshxx (02/14/13)
to update. Worked apart of bootloader and radio.

[Solution] Win7 Adb driver failing to install in adb sideload

I had mutiple issues getting adb to work in adb sideload. It worked while in the OS but not in recovery after selecting sideload. This is how I fixed it!
You must first have SDK installed and know the basics of adb and fastboot. If you do not know how to install SDK or how to use terminal emulator or command prompt (cmd) to get to the platform tools folder you must do all that first. You must also have developers tools and USB debugging on.
See here if you have no idea what I am talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141817

When device is in adb sideload type in you command prompt adb devices. Do you see anything? Try Ctrl alt delete kill adb.exe in process the retry if adb sees the device I'd in adb side load mode then your good. If not you need to get the drivers to work by following step 8. If you do not see that option add a screen shot of your options.

I'm 100% stock. This is the guide i was advised to use:
Section A: adb sideload
NOTE:Make sure you have the latest version of adb. It seems people are having issues with older versions. Its attached at the bottom
1) Download the OTA.zip on your PC, rename the file update.zip, then place file in the same directory as adb.
2) Make sure you have USB Debugging checking in the Developer Options, then connect your phone.
3) Open the command prompt from the directory above on your PC and type the command: 'adb reboot recovery'
4) When in recovery, you’ll see an android laying down. Press power then immediately press volume up and release. The menu will appear. Select “apply update from adb”
5) Using the command prompt type: 'adb sideload update.zip' The file will load and the update will begin.
6) When completed, select reboot.
I've installed the google drivers and when plugged in it recognises both the phone (no yellow ! there) and also an 'android device - android composite ADB interface" option. Both say that the drivers are up-to-date.

It should not take 15 minutes for your device to be recognized. Are you running Ubuntu? Or are you running Windows 7? Or what's your OS? Your using a fastboot cord which uses fastboot commands and requires the .exe files in inside SRT to run unless you download sdk and set the tools folders in your path.
Make sure you're in fastboot.
Now open a command prompt (you must be using the admin profile of the computer) type
"fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"
In a few seconds you should see you device on the computer screen. If not then check your drivers.
If your drivers are not being recognized, see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9

The drivers are USB drivers that are in my post above. You don't want .exe for this install. So simply install the drivers in the device manager so your tablet will be recognized. Then move forward from there.

With your tablet hooked to the PC you'll look in the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle by it. Right click on it and manually install the drivers. You will point to the folder containing all the items in the screens not, not just a single file in the folder.

You're getting close. Did you verify that Window driver security enforcement is disabled? Also you must install manually, don't click the option for Windows to find and install. Make sure you're actually logged into the admin profile of your computer.

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.

Hello everyone,
I'm in the same boat, except my device won't show up under devices in transmission after the "./adb devices" command.
Got a Nexus 6, 2009 Macbook running OSX Mavericks. I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237 to a T, but no luck. Android File Transfer works just fine. Usb debugging and oem unlock is checked on my phone, I restarted both phone and computer. Any advice/guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

How to Solve 'Unauthorize Device' in ADB

Hello, im using O+ 3 and just installed the Oxygen 3.2.2 OS
I wanna root it but got problem because my ADB says unauthorized
Ive already tried to dig some similar case and possible answers thru the internet but none of them work for me
Ive tried to enable disable the debug permission
I also already make sure my ADB is the latest one.
Also already try to delete the 'adb_key' files from my PC (im using windows 7 64bit)
The problem is most user which has similar problem with me got the 'authorized debug prompt' popped up again on their phone, but its not working on my phone.
It appear only one time at the very first time i connect it to my phone, but i accidentaly click 'cancel' on that prompt
But after that it never re-appeared again.
Can someone kindly help me? Thanks a lot

Make sure debugging is clicked on under developer options in the main menu. Then disconnect the phone from the pc and reboot the pc. Reconnect the phone after it reboots and hope that you get the adb prompt on the phone again.
android sdk have the latest tools including latest ADB. There is ADB standalone install, that means that if you tell us that you have the latest ADB, that only mean that someone extracted the ADB and lastest fastboot and did a repack and in the end it's not an official repack.
but "disable the debug permission" reset all the recorded device for debug so you should have another prompt.
If in the end you don't have another prompt, verify you adb version by installing the lastest android SDK, uninstall and reinstall the oneplus drivers.
Then if no prompt there is 2 choices :
- wipe the phone, it will reset the prompt for sure, 100%
- use another computer (well you have to have another computer).
I have a computer at home where this happened and I have never been able to straighten it out...tried everything.

Have you checked all of your USB ports? I know in the past (with other phones), problems arise if you're not using a direct USB port (one soldered into your MoBo).

Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > expand Universal Serial Bus controllers. Now connect your phone. You'll now see USB Mass Storage Device. Right click on it. Select Properties, then go to Details. In the Details section, under Property, select Hardware ids. You'll then see the device id. It will be shown something like this: USB\VID_2A70&PID_9011&MI_01. From this you have to take the 2A70 code ~ the code between the first _ and &. Now go to desktop and create a new text document and copy paste this using your device id as shown:
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2A70
Now open the Save As menu. In Save As type select All Files. Save the file as adb_usb.ini
Copy this .ini file from desktop and paste it in C:\Users\YourPCName\.android
Disconnect your phone, reboot your pc. Now with USB Debugging turned on, connect your phone to your pc, you'll surely get the permission thingy popup in your phone.
For completion:
If you DO NOT have access to your phone for any reason but still want to use ADB you can simply boot your phone into TWRP and follow these steps.
Windows:
1. Open %userprofile%\.android
2. Copy "adbkey.pub" to your phone (adb push %userprofile%\.android\adbkey.pub /sdcard/adb_keys)
3. Switch to your phone.
4. Go to Advanced > Open Terminal
5. Type in "stop adbd"
6. Move "adb_keys" from /sdcard to /data/misc/adb (mv /sdcard/adb_keys /data/misc/adb/adb_keys)
7. Type in "start adbd"
8. Switch to computer
9. Type "adb shell setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1"
10. Type "adb shell setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb"
11. Reboot your phone - DONE
Linux / Maybe Mac:
Same steps, but use "~/" instead of "%userprofile%"
Please note:
You may have to repeat the steps 1-7 after boot when still not having permissions so it makes sense to use cp (copy) instead of mv (move) and only repeat steps 5-7.
Edit: Please also check if your drivers are all installed and enabled.
