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.

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 .

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

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!

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.

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.

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 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?

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??

Hi all.
I'm trying to S-Off my HTC first, but I can't get the phone to connect to ADB while in debug mode. It connects to ADB fine while in recovery mode, but apparently it needs to be in debug mode for moonshine to work. The phone is unlocked and rooted and I installed the HTC drivers. In the device manager it comes up as an Android device in recovery mode, but as a portable storage device in debug mode.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

No, not unless the phone is in recovery mode. Fastboot works as well. However when the phone is on and in debug mode I get nothing.

Hmmm sounds like what happened to me once it was a frustrating situation but all that was needed was an update to the ADB drivers for the device. Sadly I'm away from my computer right now so it'll be a while until I can actually whip something up to help you, sorry
Try to force ADB to redetect with adb kill-server.

NOTE THAT YOUR PHONE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED DURING THIS PROCESS
I already searched & set up the update folder so you don't have to do all the dirty work d:\
Ok Well I'm just going to make this quick and not really got through the basics like how to unzip things because if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be trying to get s-off on your phone anyway so I'll just assume you already know how.
Step 1. open control panel select hardware and sound and open Device Manager with the administrative logo one the side.
Step 2. Near the top or somewhere on this list there's supposed to be a drop down that reads "adb devices, adb android, adb, android, adb drivers etc. Mine shows Android USB Devices it actually just varies based on computer I can't really go to the specifics of it but I'm sure you can find it.
Step 3. Select that dropdown menu and right click whatever shows (there should only be one thing) and then select Update Driver Software and choose the option that says Browse my computer for driver software and locate the htc drivers folder which should already be unzipped, select the whole folder and have the option to include subfolders checked. click next or whatever it says to finish
Step 3 Now you must remove your device from the Portable Devices dropdown menu to ensure all drivers are detected for the phone, to do this right click on HTC First and just select remove, wait until it's done. and now just reconnect your device and let all the drivers install and it should now be done!
Make sure you look at the screenshots I attached to make sure you don't accidentally remove or update something else also because that's where the drivers folder is an i'm pretty sure you'll need that
A reboot of the computer is recommended btw
Ask questions if you have any

Wow, that's quite explanatory, thank you! Unfortunately I only see the category ADB Devices when the phone is connected and in recovery mode, and I only see the category Portable Devices when the phone is connected, booted, and in debug mode. (Neither of these categories are visible when the phone is disconnected from the computer.) I did however try installing the drivers you gave me with the phone connected and in recovery mode, but to no avail; after the phone boots ADB Devices disappears and Portable Devices appears. Uninstalling Portable Devices doesn't help either; it just reinstalls when I reconnect the phone.
I am trying to get the category ADB Devices to appear in the Device manager when the phone is turned on and in debug mode so that I can use ADB while the phone is booted.
Got it working. I had to go to device manager > portable devices > HTC First and replace the driver with Generic USB Composite Device Driver.
Boom. Everything working. Weird.

How exactly did you replace the HTC First driver with the Generic USB Composite Device Driver?
In the past 3 months or so I noticed that my Mi5 3GB 32GB is not recognized by my PC anymore. I didn't care too much because I hardly connect my phone to PC.
I was running the lastest xiaomi.eu Rom unrooted.
So on Thursday, I deleted my OS by mistake, therefore I do not get past the Mi Logo.
I can boot into TWRP Recovery & Fastboot however, there is not code when using CMD adb/fastboot devices such as 1cwe3f23.
Also, I read about the EOL method aka test point method, to force a connection as Qualcomm driver with no success. Different PCS dont recognize any drivers.
The battery is not an issue because I can easily charge my phone to 100% and it can hold its charge, therefore I do not think it is a battery related issue.
What i did so far :
- used 3 differenct USB C cables and PC -> phone still not recognized
- Installed all lastest driver on Drivers -> phone still not recognized
- tried to use the test points method -> phone still not recognized
- tried Miflash tool -> phone is still not recognized
- tried Mi PC Guide -> didn't work either
Then I read somewhere that I can use a OTG cable with a pen drive
- OTG storage is not recognized in TWRP recovery and cannot be selected. [OTG STORAGE 0MB even if different pen drives are connected]
SO my Main problem is not the phone itself, it is that I cannot get any data onto the internal memory because I can't get past TWRP.
Please help me out since I really struggling with this problem for the past 7 days and I'm desperate now for any kind of help.
Greetings and thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "can't get past TWRP"? Is it that you can't flash any ROM to system?
You have fastboot and TWRP, so things are likely fine. Rather than use Windows, you might have more luck running linux inside VirtualBox (plenty of guides around XDA). If you can sudo fastboot devices in linux, you should be good to go. Otherwise, the error reporting is often richer/simpler in linux.
Hi bro
same as me, 4 days ago...
system, vendor error
flashing stock rom miui9 via twrp
although the error twrap will only provoke usb computer,
if it works usb computer, try flashing by using miflash...
goodluck

I did as you recommended and used Ubuntu. However also there the system didn't recognize the phone when plugged. It may because I am not fully familiar with Ubuntu. I would appreciate if you could point me in the direction of a tutorial.

could you be more precise please? How did you overcome not having a PC conncetion?
Currently, I am not able to transfer any kind of data to the phone either by PC or OTG. Furthermore, the internal storage is completely empty after wiping everything by mistake.
I have twrp working fine, but without any data on the device, I cannot use it. Also, the device only stays in fastboot for roughly 20 secs before it turns off.
any help is welcomed. Thank you
EDIT : I got Ubuntu to work but its the same process. My phone is not recognized and running the command adb devices gives me
"list of devices" .... thats not! Nothing ! usally there is the code Phones ID but nothing there

A number of different issues could be here.
#1 Firstly, ensure you've installed openvm tools and reboot. This should enable things like hardware pass through.
$ apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
$ sudo init 6
Then, follow these instructions for the pass through (may be slightly different, but very similar) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570452
#2 Type "adb" and see what version is in use in the first line of output. If it's 1.0.0.32 or older, it might be an issue. Try installing the following packages:
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot android-tools-adb
You might need to find a newer version elsewhere, Ubuntu repos are often old. Google around for 1.0.36 or newer. This could solve your issue.
#3 Ensure you have the necessary rules for the Mi 5. There's a few different hardware models. The Arch Wiki can walk you through it better than I can: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/android#Connect_device (ignore the package hyperlinks, they're arch-specific). Only do this if you've properly configured the pass through from #1. Do F"igure out device IDs" and then "Adding udev Rules". Instead of the "udevadm" command run
$ sudo service udev restart
If you're still not detected, no idea.

Thank you again for the help!
Unfortunately, it appears that my device is still not recognized by either Ubuntu or Win10.
I Have taken the necessary steps to install Ubuntu and update the adb drivers (1.0.39) but still no luck so far.
It really pisses me off since I was stupid enough to wipe the internal storage ☹ and not I am not able to transfer any data to the devices again.
Any other out of the box ideas?

You configured the USB pass through to your Ubuntu host? Double check you followed #3, and then run sudo fastboot devices. That step is tricky for some.
Reconnect your phone to your Ubuntu host (in fastboot) and run "dmesg -T", see what errors are present. If you have no errors, I would image it's a configuration issue. Other than that I'm out of ideas.

OMFG!!! First of all, thank you for support and your patience. I really appreciate it.
HOWEVER, all it was is that the USB PORT was full of dust( literally tons!) which appears to have allowed to charge the phone but seemed to have cloaked up some part of the responsibile for a usb connection to a computer.
Stupid me should have known this because the usb port was kinda wobbly which I had mistaken for degradation using the phone for almost 2 years
MANY THANKS!

Hey , I was researching about my issue and came up to this. I'd be really glad if you can sort me out with this. I have the same mobile , by mistakenly wiped out the phone including the internal storage , my pc does not detect the device , and whenever i go to fastboot mode to try something like miflash , it goes back to twrp after 15 seconds. Also , i tried several OTG's but none of them get detected on TWRP , and I am stuck on this thing for almost a week now . Please guide me on how to sort this out . i basically just downloaded adb files , miflash , etc from the internet and never reinstalled them. also i used several usb c cables to connect to pc and even then device manager does not detect it . thank you . i would really appreciate your reply.
