Hi Guys here is a {NOOB} Friendly Instructions if ur PC is not detecting our Beloved Nexus 5!:laugh:
1: If ur rooted then:
1:: Install multirom manager
2: Install cm13(CynogenMod 13)
3: Connect ur Nx5 to ur pc when ur running Cm13 it will detect the phone after that remove cm13 and connect ur phone as u normally do!
5: Voila ur PC will detect the Phone!!
Nice to hear the suggestion, but it seems like a great deal of effort and risk just to avoid setting up your PC drivers. Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit has a really helpful walkthrough on driver setups which has worked for me several times on different PCs, and doesn't involve any work on your device.
And if it works for anyone, please donate - it's a superb piece of work that deserves more than just a "thank you"...

Yup ur correct.. But in many cases the toolkit drivers dnt work... So that is why made this thread.. And yes I HV donated 10$ for his work. And yes I also support him.. But that toolkit doesn't work sometimes
Toolkit worked for me on Win8 and 7, but not XP.
Went fully manual and PC detects the phone for MTP connection, but doesn't (appear) when debugging is ON (toolkit recognizes device and ADB works, so, no problem at all)

I'm just saying that people should try tinkering with stuff first before reporting it not working. :'3
Yeah, up to a point, but encouraging people to tinker is also encouraging them to screw up their device and then flooding forums with help requests.
Ohhhh.. Check other forms.. There are people whose Wugfresh didn't work...

After hours of headache I am still unable to test my app on the nexus one device... mainly because my 64 bit Vista cannot find a device driver for the usb.
1. I have gone tried the developer.android instruction, which ofcourse does not work.
2.I have also gone tried the idea posted in a thread in this forum <mods wont allow me to post link> without success mainly because the cmd says "boot configuration data store cannot be opened. access is denied."
3. I went over Install and run USBDeview<mods wont allow me to post link> , but it wont work either, USBDView cannot uninstall in step 5 of the blog.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please if someone has installed the USB Driver for nexus one in a Windows Vista x64 help me out.. i have so many apps on the emulator which I want to try on the new device !!
Is their any other way I can port my app from the emulator and try it on the device? Thanks in advance
Please do not post non-dev related threads in the dev section... yeah, i think u thot this was a dev question since u are talking abt porting an app, but the question is really not dev related... this shud go in Q&A... mods please move!!
In any case, I've installed the N1 driver in Windows 7 x64 without any problem, and since the driver is the same for Vista & 7 x64, I don't think it shud be a problem...
I simply downloaded the drivers via the SDK setup... plugged in the phone and manually installed the driver via device manager... worked like a charm!!
+1 for the section and also for it working on Win 7 pro x64 for me.
+1 on posting in the proper section. I also have it working on win 7 x64.
As a side note, people who think the word 'should' is spelled 'shud' should not be correcting people.

Here you go - USB Driver that worked fine with Vista 64 bit - found on this very site. Install the driver and just enable USB debugging.

I don't know if your problem come from vista but just try to reboot your PC and press F8 many times and check an option to disable signed driver or something like this . Or you can install Raw driver . That's what I did and it work

Try wug's toolkit, it has step-by step drivers for most every windows system including vista. I've had to set the drivers manually before too, but it's easier if you can follow on-screen directions. Don't worry, we're all noons in some regard. We just have more we can learn here. -Ara

thanks guys,
i aint going to lie mskips method is infuriating in my opinion.after every step i get "waiting for device" and nothing happens,succesfully completed steps 1 to 3 then on the root step it does some stuff my tablet turns off then comes back on normally not to fastboot mode and on my pc it says "waiting for device"... waiting for what?????
so i decided i woulg give step 8 a try using TWRP and after it does some stuff succesfully exactly the same happens,"waiting on device" and n7 turns off and then comes on in normal mode???
is that the process complete?

Are you trying to do the all in one click? I tried that and it did not work for me. I had to do each option separately and it worked.

Use Wug's, it gives you step by step visual instructions. I followed his method and installed drivers manually on my home computer, theis after fighting with two other computers previously. The only thing to note is that you will have to reboot into fastboot manually, then install the drivers and rebooot the computer in the end.

I had an issue where it wouldn't root. I rebooted, re started, unplugged, restarted PC, etc. I finally uninstalled WUGS toolkit and installed again. Worked like a charm and there are about 3 YouTube videos showing you step by step.

Hi, guys! I have a really big problem :/. Right now I'm using the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread from LG ,but you all know that this is the worst OS ever. I wanted to get rid of it but i cant connect my device to the computer. It's only charging. I need a way to root it w/o usb connection. Do u have any suggestions? It's not a software problem! Something inside the phone is broken and i don't know what it is. Is there a way to root it via bluetooth or SD card? I didn't find any apps to root it too. I know gingerbreak etc, but they dont work for 2.3.4. Thank you in advance and i hope there is a solution. :fingers-crossed:
I am afraid you can't. Replacing your micro usb port could solve your problem. I reccomend to buy a micro usb port which is already on the flexible cable so you can avoid ironing.

Yeah, dude. Of course. I've tried different settings like usb debugging on/off too but still nothing.

i forgot how the mass storage settings in gingerbread look like but there should be an option to put the phone in "charge only" mode (which you should disable)... pressing menu key in settings > storage doesn't give you any options to choose?
In gingerbread you can only turn usb mass storage and usb debugging on/off. These settings didn't help. I'll read more about the first link you gave me and try it out.

This is quite challenge, root without usb connection. First idea I got to use ADB over WiFi, but this is available from ICS, not on GB.
Second idea - what I remember, some of root methods use APK installation over ADB by script. Maybe you can search for these script methods and place all required files on SD Card. Then try to execute commands by terminal on device itself to install and root.
It's just my idea, maybe wrong, maybe help.

Yes that is what you need if you have to replace your USB port but you don't have skills to replace only the usb port.
You can try gingerbreak to root your phone, but it maybe won't work.

I'm not aware of ADB and scripting. Can you give me sоme guidelines?(I'm sorry 'bout my english. I hope you understand)
p.s. I found some info about ADB. So you need ADB to control your device via commands, but you can use ADB on your computer? You say that i have to find a way to use ADB on my phone so it controls itself and roots?

Guys, the problem is not in the computer nor in the cable, it's in the phone. I'm 99% sure that it's a hardware problem. So i need to find a way to root or flash it without using usb connection.
i'm somehow sure that the real problem here is the device driver installation on your PC/Windows, not the phone...
btw which windows version are you using?
did you try checking out the AIO tool thread?

if you read the 1st post, you might find out how could it help you... especially if you use win 8 which caused problems for many other users when trying to install the drivers or trying to flash the phone...
I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.

I use windows 8 from a week. Anything i've done before was on a xp/ win 7. The problem isnt in the win 8 i use now. I've tried everything on my xp laptop. I have a friend who has the same phone and he can connect it to his computer so everything is fine with his computer. I've tried to connect my optimus to his computer and again it wasnt found by the computer. The problem must be in my device.
I'll try installing the APX drivers.

Hi Team,
I feel like I'm pretty close to being able to root this thing. Never used ADB, telnet, or any of the other random things I've spent several days reading about, but I think I've got it lined up to give it a shot.
I wish I could do this on my mac, but it seems the MotoWpNoMo step requires a PC. I do have an old laptop running xp (sp3), so for that step I'll use it. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the drivers to work. I've installed the motorola device manager's newest incarnation and still no luck getting it to pick up my device.
Any advice on how to get windows XP to recognize my device?

what do you mean by your computer won't pick up your device.
like when you plug in your device nothing happens no driver's start to install or on your phone does it say USb debugging enabled or MTP.
or when you computer trys to install the drivers it fails.
if you not getting anything at all when you plug your phone in i would try a different USB port if still nothing then i would try a different USB cable
if you are having issues getting the drivers to install you can try downloading the Moto X toolkit, it has a option to download the drivers plus it also comes with ADB and everything else in the folder it installs to.(location is C:/Program Files/stillthisguy)

Thanks man, but that's how I unlocked and rooted my phone. It's also how I screwed my phone up, trying to undo the forced encryption. Did it all with Wug's Nexus Tool Kit. I have been at this 25 hours with no success. Drivers are needed. I don't know why the computer doesn't recognize the phone, the computer beeps every time I plug it in or unplug it.

I always have issues with Nexus devices being recognized. I always have to plug the device in, go to the device manager, and delete anything that has to do with the device, including any labeled as ADB devices. I've also found it helps to go to "View" and hit "Show Hidden Devices". After deleting them all, I unplug and replug the device and install the Universal Naked Driver from this thread.

I assume with it being a Toshiba Satellite its running windows, what version? The older OS's seemed to be less finicky then W8, Have you deleted and re-installed the google drivers from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html or from another site? Have you tried any different PC's? Have you checked the windows hardware event logs for any error messages? Have you been able to put in say a thumb drive into the usb port and it work? Are you on as admin and all that security crap? Do you have usb debugging on in the developer area on the phone? Are you able to get it into fastboot mode? If you do fastboot devices does it show anything at all? I assume you have rebooted the PC, but I'm still surprised how many issues that fix's.
Just some suggestions, I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck.
Thanks. I did that and I downloaded an Intel driver so now the computer recognizes the phone in Device Manager.

No, I have a Nexus 6 that the computer won't recognize. ADB and SDK also don't recognize the phone.
I am using my old Samsung S4 for emergency support. It's not hooked up with AT&T since I got the Nexus 6. I have to return this computer tomorrow. I am starting to wonder if it's computer problems with phone problems.

When you type ADB command in the DOS Box, there should be a popup on the mobile whether you wanna allow access from this computer.
Did you select yes and remember that PC?
I had this problem when I did my nexus 6, something on the laptop I was using was conflicting, I moved to another laptop and it worked like a charm never went back to figure out what was conflicting. Do you have access to another machine?
