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.

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
Been trying to root N1(FRG83) without unlocking bootloader. Downloaded android-sdk to c: drive and downloaded usb driver.
When I boot the N1 into fastboot mode and type fastboot from the cmd prompt on the computer it sees the phone and gives me the serial (HT****)
When I try the same thing from ADB (ADB devices) it doesn't recognize the phone. I just get a blank line and go back to the command prompt. I've tried this on 2 machines (1 Vista the other Windows 7) and get the same results.
The frustrating thing is that I actually had the phone recognized with the ADB devices command when I first set it up but got called away from the computer and never had a chance to run the rooting routine.
Anybody out there solved this problem?? All help appreciated.
Thanks.
download and install the sdks and nexus ine drivers manually.
thanks but no luck
Downloaded drivers as you suggested but no luck. Also tried reinstalling sdk. Debugging is on, Java is installed, I'm out of ideas for the moment.

Del everything...restart your pc, and download the drivers and sdk..it'll take a few more mins.
When this happened to me, I restarted my PC and it worked.

If I recall correctly, adb won't work while the phone is in fastboot mode - and that fact that your fastboot commands work fine indicates that it shouldn't be a driver issue. Make sure you're running the adb commands when your phone is actually booted (at least to recovery).
If the phone is recognized by the computer via usb, but the adb does not see the phone connected, you just may need to simply delete and reinstall the latest USB driver that is offered.
There is actually an issue with Nexus One's where the adb composite interface doesn't work. It seems related to the issue with the broadcom driver and the mac address starting with 38.
See here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 - for more info.
I have now upgraded to frg83 and it works fine.

This. If you're running ADB in fastboot, you'll get nowhere.
I've searched and searched for a solution to this, nothing is working. Really need help guys.
Phone is on stock ICS rom, PC is Win8 Pro x64. All three files are in the folder, SDK is installed (x64 version), Google USB driver installed, Java for windows installed, and HTC Sync installed but not running.
When in FASTBOOT and USB connected it shows FASTBOOT USB. Device manager shows Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. Is this correct or should it show something else in device manager?
No matter what I've tried when running fastboot oem get_identifier_token in command prompt I get waiting for device. Also running fastboot devices returns nothing.
Don't know what else to try... Seems it doesn't recognize the device but it's in device manager.
Edit: have also tried different usb ports and I know the cable works.
Edite 2: I fixed it. Took me hours to get this working but for any one struggling like I was here is what I did.
Got rid of all the drivers and started back at Android 1.0 in device manager. Manually installed the official SDK google usb driver and selected Android Bootloader Interface for Android 1.0. Also boot the phone and manually install again and select Android ADB Interface.
Here is what really caused me problems. The HTC tutorial I looked at said to take adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and adbWinApi.dll and put them in their own folder. This absolutely does not work for me even now. I used the directory straight from the SDK (sdk\platform-tools) and added fastboot.exe from a previous sdk revision into that folder. Now everything works!!! Finally!
Hi everyone!! I have the same issue as brother bassvoykevlar but the solution here expresed is not all clear to me. Can anyone please give me a hand on this, i am really mad with it . Thanks in advance.
The Best Solution
this problem has also happened with me and i found a solution to this,
this usually happens if your system lacks fastboot drivers.
ADB drivers can only Run ADB shell so that is why you need to have fastboot drivers as well to use fastboot commands.
i think you must have tried this code:
"fastboot oem unlock"
then cmd may have got stuck on "waiting for device"
don't worry install drivers for fastboot then it should work.
google it then get it.
there is 15seconds ADB,fasdtboot installer available try that.
then give it another try.
Last night, on TWRP I formated data on the SD card, which is why I have no OS. Now looking for how to fix this on xda/google, I get into the bootloader, have fastboot usb and try to adb shell but I keep getting the "error no device found". I already installed latest drivers from HTC on to my laptop and still nothing. Any other idea?
windows 8?
First off, make sure you have HTC Sync Manager installed because that will give you the proper drivers in order to be able to use ADB commands.
Afterwards, make sure you install Java JDK and Android SDK.
Just follow this tutorial here: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Follow it word for word and make sure you install JDK X86 even if you have a X64 computer. And then download SDK Manager, put it in C:/ drive, open SDK Manager, and download the necessary tools (also all in the tutorial).
I was in the same position as you just before yesterday and I followed this tutorial with success.

I'll look into both things, thanks.
EDIT: even on my mac adb does not see any devices, before when I entered ./adb devices it would show "list of devices:" and it would be blank.
Good luck, man. It's fairly easy once you read the tutorial carefully and follow all the steps to the word. After it's all done and the command prompt says Sideload 100%, boot into TWRP, tap INSTALL and then scroll down to sideload.zip and that's your ROM. Also after copying the desired ROM to platform-tools in the SDK folder, rename it to rom.zip, it seems to work 100% that way while it struggles a bit with long names.

Still getting the error: device not found.
I even ran the all in one tool kit and attempted the "ADB sideload a ROM" follow the steps but get an error on CMD "C:\users\(username) is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I really do not understand why adb is not working, I did s-off and supercid myself maybe less than a week ago.
Are you sure you followed all the steps in the tutorial including installing JDK, using SDK Manager to download some tools and such? And are you sure you have the proper drivers installed (e.g HTC Sync Manager)? I used to get that error before I installed it. Go to Device Manager while in ADB mode in TWRP and see if the device is recognized or if there's a yellow sign beside it indicating that there are no drivers for it.

It came up under Android USB Devices as My HTC. When I was following the steps on the link you provided, when I tried to update the drivers with the google usb driver wouldnt work, it would say "windows had determined the driver software for your device is up to date". When I go into My HTC properties says the driver version is 2.0.7.18.
The Google USB drivers did not work for me either, only the ones provided by HTC Sync Manager did. I have not experienced that problem, mate, so I do not know what to do at this point, I am very sorry. If you are not able to fix this, I suggest getting an OTG cable and directly loading the ROM from the PC to your SD card. I ordered one a couple of days ago and it is coming tomorrow, it's very helpful

Crap, I appreciate your help though.
EDIT: nevermind googled it, gonna pick one up. Phoneless till wednesday
I am sorry to hear that, but I suppose that's the only thing you can do at the moment. Even if somehow get ADB working, do not cancel your order because OTG cables aren't only used for mounting the device, but also for things like connecting gamepads and controllers to play games on your device.
USB 3
If you have USB3 port adb.exe wan't recognize your device.
I triend first on USB3 and after on other older computer on USB2 all was fine

You can't acces to "adb shell" without OS, there is special mode in adb named "adb sideload" , not shell !
1) Check version adb by "adb version" you need version 1.0.29 or higher
2) Check TWRP version (2.3 or higher) Go to TWRP recovery -> adb sideload
3) Connect PC to phone , at PC in device manager must be MY HTC device.
4) Type jn PC adb sideload /yourpath/yourrom.zip

If I knew I would have tried lol, and it no one said anything about sideload but oh well.
Haha! Damn. I am glad it worked out, though.
I have had a very eventful few hours and I'll do my best to explain. Earlier this morning I was rooted, twrp installed and running FreedomOS. I had this bright idea of flashing a file I had downloaded from the OP3T website. It was a firmware file (either the first option, the option before OB5). Everything was running smoothly until I got home and tried using fastboot at which point it just sticks on waiting for device. All normal options are checked (adb files installed, debugging selected, the works), but now I can not use fastboot what so ever. I did at one point sideload an OTA using adb sideload (filename.zip). I have tried just about every adb option I can think of to include: 15 second ADB and minimal adb and fastboot. I even deleted the OP3T drivers from my computer, reinstalled those drivers. I followed an article through technobuzz: http://www.technobuzz.net/download-oneplus-3-usb-drivers/
http://www.technobuzz.net/setup-adb-fastboot-drivers-for-nexus-oneplus-samsung-or-any-android/
I have been using adb and fastboot with no issues up til Open Beta 5 and now my PC and another PC is giving me crap and it's iritating the %%%k out of me.
adb reboot recovery works, adb devices work - showing that the device is connected. I checked the device manager and only found the portable devices. It's like my computer somehow magically deleted the adb driver and will not allow me to install an adb driver. I have no logs to check out....15 second adb was suppose to place a log file on the desktop, but it doesnt....it wont install
Here's what Im on:
OB5 (7.1.1) with stock recovery. I can not use fastboot commands. Here are some pics
http://imgur.com/a/y7iFE
http://imgur.com/a/SVVMg You should see something that says, "Android Device or ADB", but nothing - just MTP
http://imgur.com/a/62msw
I'm using windows 10, device signature is off
Essentially I just want to be able to fastboot flash TWRP and gain root.
Has anyone else experienced any kind of issues with OB5 and adb/fastboot
Btw I had the entire Android SDK installed on another computer and that did not work either....Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm talking about you @redpoint73, lol
Oh boy, I've been summoned! I have to say, I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable yet with the 3T as I was with my past devices. But I'll try.
I assume you are properly trying fastboot commands while in fastboot mode (not in OS or recovery)? I assume so, since you already said it worked fine before the update. But it never hurts to ask the obvious, as a lot of folks forget that adb and fastboot work a bit differently (fastboot only in fastboot mode, adb only in OS or recovery - debugging only needed for adb, not fastboot).
Do you have the OP3T drivers installed? These are the files that Windows always opens whenever I connect the phone (while booted into phone OS), select File Transfer, and it gives the option to open the folder. Although I don't think you even need the drivers for fastboot to work. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP before I ever installed the OnePlus drivers. The generic fastboot drivers worked fine. But it's worth a try, to install the OP drivers.
I don't even know where to begin or how to reply to what you just said @redpoint73. I haven't attempted to use adb/fastboot commands since yesterday, so i have no idea as to rather it will work or not. If you have teamviewer, I can give your access to a backdoor to show you as it's easier to show then explain. Have you ever noticed when you download a zip from here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/#title-section
it never saves the file as Open Beta 3, 4, or etc. It saves the file as this long-named file.zip rather than being something easy to understand. Im able to understand it now, but a few moments ago I wasnt. I "have" downloaded the OP3T drivers on multiple occasions with no success to to fastboot only adb. My computer recognizes the device though. When I go into device manager checking things out. I will have an option that says, "portable devices". when you select that option you'll go across through some contextual menus where you wind up seeing MTP. You should see MTP if you successfully installed the OP3T devices, but at the same time you should be able to see an option that says something along the lines of ADB or Android Debug Bridge, vice versa. My computer does not say that and I have no idea where to go from here. I have no logs or anything helping me out, so it's like finding a needle in the haystack. I do know that I have all of the prereq's such as debugging selected from developers options within the phone, device signature turned off through Windows, adb/fastboot installed, OP3T drivers installed - you know the works you usually need in order to get everything working right. What I might end up doing is just reformatting my entire laptop, installing a fresh copy of windows, fresh copy of adb/fastboot and going from there. My bootloader is unlocked and has been since I've owned the device. As of right now I'm on OB5 with stock recovery. Yesterday I tried three times to sideload one of the downloads from this site: http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/#title-section
. However, my phone would end up saying, "installation failed" when Im in sideload mode. I'm thinking that might have something to do with a botched download from the OP3T server.
Looks like you found your solution here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72046709&postcount=20
Fastboot/adb is usually as simple as reinstalling drivers, etc. as opposed to reformat the PC as you were considering. Reinstalling adb/fastboot was a good idea also, as I don't think I would have thought of that (although it makes perfect sense). So good job working it out!
