Hey, i have had this problem for a bit now, but it is really starting to bug me.
I have a dual boot computer, one is fedora, the other windows 7. When i decided to root my nexus one, i did it through windows, so i got the SDK, installed the drivers and rooted the phone.
Some time later (after flashing and restoring from desire rom back to CM 5) my computer can no longer recognise the device properly Windows will say it fails to recognise the device (code 43), and will not let me re-install the drivers. Saying they are up to date even after i uninstall the drivers then re-install them.
I have given up on fedora too, since no command ever seems to work on fedora beyond yum install xxx. Trying to get "fastboot devices" in fedora brings up "command not found" or something to that effect.
I wouldn't be too worried, but not everything comes as an update.zip, and i would like to try out the undervolted kernel some time.
Note: i can still mount the SD card fine.
EDIT: i can Mount the SD on Fedora, but not windows.
Things you can try out:
1. Completely uninstall and remove the driver from the system and connect the phone and install the drive when prompted. (try in safe mode as well)
2. Try other USB ports.
3. Try turning off USB debug, connect the phone and then turn on USB debug.
4. Try on another PC and rule out any problem with ur phone.
5. Reinstall Windows!!!
Thanks for the suggestions, i tried everything there short of re-installing windows.
As soon as i plug in the device windows will bring up the error message, it will not call it a nexus one, an unknown device. Any attempt to install the new drivers and windows will say that better drivers are already installed.
I also figured out that it will not work on fedora because it is not configured, but the only guide to fastboot and linux i have found is for ubuntu, and some of the commands wont work on fedora.
I tried it on another computer, an XP, it would not install on there either, i tried to use my mums N1 afterwards to see if it would install, it didn't but there are a number of reasons why it may not.
Any other suggestions? or could someone point me to a fedora guide for fastboot?
Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
32bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.
thank you
I added a link to this thread in the sticky
EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go.

have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit
did you enable USB debugging?
Gunnman from Galaxy S
yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted
I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.
if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night
Gunnman from Galaxy S
since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

this thread should be stickied since W7 doesn't come with the drivers, it seems.
How exactly do you update the drivers with win7? It keeps saying my drivers are up to date but I still can't get adb to recognize my vibrant

Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.
Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck
Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.
Where can I get the mac driver..i looked everywhere please help
this thread is legit!
thanks for all of your help so far guys.. BUT i still cannot get my laptop to sync up with the phone properly (win xp pro, sp3)...
I've downloaded and installed both drivers and the computer is recognizing the external drives, but they are showing as removable disks E: and F:. when i double click to open, it is telling me to insert a disk? i feel like i'm almost there, but there is somethign i'm missing!
usb is mounted and usb storage is off. usb debugging enabled.
any help would be appreciated.
Windows drivers issue
Have you tried mounting the drives. Same thing happened to me when you have it connected to the computer drop down the usb notification and mount. The your drives should be accessible.
Hi there,
I`ve got the following Problem:
My One is not detected properly in fastboot mode, adb works like a charm (all cmds working)
In fastboot mode windows says that the device cannot be started (code 10) and cmd cannot find the device and it`s also not charging in fastboot...
I`m using Windows 8 and I know that there are problems with driver signatures, so I disabled the checks through advanced boot, uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them (the strange thing is, it worked like a charm with my HOX)
After that still the same issues... Then I uninnstalled the HTC drivers and tried the drivers from Google SDK and after that the drivers from PDAnet but nothing helped...
Then I read that there are Problems with USB3.0 and fastboot but I only got USB3.0. So I tried different USB ports and reconnected many times (about 30 times) and maybe the phone says "fastboot USB" but in cmd it`s still not detected...
As I said before with my HOX it worked like a charm... (also Win8 and USB3.0)
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

Try disabling Fastboot in the Power Settings.
I tried it again with fastboot disabled but it still doesn`t work... :/
same problem here....

hey envoy_467,
I found a solution for this issue:
It seems that microsoft´s own driver for the Intel USB3.0-Host breaks the support for several devices. You can install the Intel drivers for Win7 on Win8 (search google: Windows 8 and Intel USB3.0 host controller there should be a link to plugable. I´m not able to post links cause I don´t have enough posts...) but it only works with the Intel host.
Hope it will help you too!
greetz,

usb device not recognized
I'm having a similar problem using windows 8, but I tried both my usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports but results in same problem. I have a t-mobile HTC One S (JB 4.1.1). Everytime I try to do the fastboot to get my token id my pc tells me my usb device is not recognized. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Try THIS
Sorry to bump this thread, but it's better than creating a new one.
Anyway, I have the same issue as the others here: fastboot won't work at all.
Btw, I've tried all possible solutions but installing the intel driver isn't possible due to a limitation on Windows + Intel 8 Series.
Windows 8, Intel 4th generation processor (8 Series/220) on a Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI.
USB eXtensible Host Controller driver by Microsoft can't be modified to work with the Intel 8 Series driver. When trying to install it it says that my PC doesn't have the requirements to install the program (driver can be found here -- 8 Series ONLY!!) probably because I'm on Windows 8 (no, setting the app to run with Win7 compatibility mode doesn't work either).
Using Naked Driver 0.72..
Has anyone tried with a virtual machine? Maybe I could install Ubuntu on a VM to test it when I get the time.
Any other ideas?
VM doesn't work.. Since Windows won't recognize the phone while on fastboot that means that the VM Linux won't find the devide either.
LiveUSB won't install the android SDK either.. I'm stuck..
FIXED, kinda.. Workaround on Linux.
More info:
Just did it..
But not on Windows..
I've created a LiveUSB from Ubuntu 12.04 using the "Universal USB Installer" from: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/
When creating the LiveUSB I've created with 4gb (4096mb) of free space on a 16gb flash drive just in case, but you can make it work with a 4gb flash drive.
Then I installed the Android SDK.
Then I was able to use fastboot to change the CID to 11111111.. Working great.. Now let's download the developer ruu..
Tutorial used to install the SDK: http://askubuntu.com/questions/318246/complete-installation-guide-for-android-sdk-on-ubuntu
To run all commands faster, just type "sudo su" before starting. After that type "apt-get -f install" to clean everything.
Remember: To install anything the tutorial asks you have to use the command "apt-get install name-of-package", where the name is the item the tutorial says.
Go up to Step 4.
Download and Unzip/extract the AndroidSDK to the desktop (just the SDK, you don't need the full bundle).
Go to the unzipped folder, go to the Tools folder, double click "android", run in terminal, install the SDK and the TOOLS.
When finished, open a terminal window, navigate to your unzipped folder, than navigate to platform-tools and use the command "./adb" and "./fastboot" to work your magic..
Edit: Still not able to install the RUU..
At least now I have the phone ready.. Just have to find a new PC to install the RUU..
I am so frustrated right now I don't even know what to do. Here is where I am and I welcome any ideas. I have read and tried every suggestion I can think of.
I have a Win 8 laptop I want to connect the Nexus to so that I can sideload 5.1. Currently the phone is still factory stock.
With debug turned off, my computer sees the nexus and I can transfer files. It sees it as an MTP device
With USB DEbug checked, my computer no longer sees it at all.
I have the latest android sdk installed.
When I go into platform tools and run adb devices- it is blank, nothing in either state (debug on or off).
Also it is not recognized in "Fastboot devices" when in fastboot mode, so the computer is not seeing it.
I have used USBDEview to delete drivers, then reinstalled using the latest Google USB drivers. no Help.
I have tried using motorola device manager to install proper drivers, no help.
Tried using Koush universal drivers and it did not help.
Thank you for any ideas you may have.
Try using "Nexus Root Toolkit" to set up the drivers for you. It has a driver setup tool.

I just went through that a couple hours ago. I ended up having to go in the device manager, and manually point it to look for the drivers in the platform-tools folder of windows sdk. Once I did that, the little yellow triangle went away, and all was well, adb and fastboot worked as normal. Hopefully that works for you too.
After doing lots of reading and trying many things I cannot connect in fastboot mode. I tried on two computers, holding volume down and plugging in usb cable. In CMD I run fastboot status and it just stays on <waiting for device>. I have connected other Android phones so maybe that is somehow messing up the device drivers, but I reinstalled them. Also when I run adb reboot fastboot from CMD, the phone restarts normally and not to fastboot but the volume down at least shows blank screen.
My goal is to get root, so whatever is easiest.

If you have used that computer for other phones previously, that might be the problem, Winodws is asigning the wrong driver. In your picture you have devices with warning triangles (no drivers). Try manually assigning the Sony driver. Depends on what you're doing, but you need a different driver for when you want to use ADB, so start the phone into recovery, connect it to your PC and look again in the device manager and manually add the Google USB driver.
If you are using windows10 and trying to install drivers, it doesn't tell you that the install failed. Restart the machine in safemode and look for 'driver signing disabled'

It's unclear to me which driver should be added to which device. For example should the Sony or Google driver be added to the section Android Devices, Portable Devices, or Sony?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. If you want to flash a rom, you want flashmode, volume down (-) then plug in the USB. If you want fastboot it's volume up (+) then plug in the USB..
MTP driver is wrong, you need to uninstall it and re-install the sony driver. Windows chooses the wrong driver by default and you have to manually add it yourself to make it work.
Having said that you mentioned that you are getting ADB commands to work, so I'm confused, perhaps the google driver is in place, but the Sony one is not.
You need both, when the phone is in fastboot it's presented as a different device than when connected via ADB.
Hope that helps explain a bit.
But if you're having issues with the drivers, should you really be going down the unlocking road? It doesn't get you many advantages and breaks a whole heap of sh*t.

I had this problem before. My fault before was install drivers in usb-debugging mode, then a change to fastbook/flash, and then the phone is not recognized or connection properly - despite me thinking I had correctly installed the drivers.
Took me months to figure it out. Boot into windows, then connect your phone in all modes, flash mode, fastbook mode, standard, and usb debugging - and for each mode - install the Sony driver again.
The result will be, that for every mode - when you go to device manager - you won't see an exclamation mark. If you ever see an exclamation mark again - install the driver. You get the idea.
Regards,
I finally found the f**kin problem the invalid driver was hiding under "other devices" only when the phone was in fastboot mode. Basically I followed the instructions of user2021355 from here.
Start Windows in test mode (instructions)
download driver from https://developer.sony.com/develop/drivers/
in admin command prompt run adb reboot bootloader
if the above step failed, you have a problem with adb and the solution is something different
open device manager and carefully search for any errors. I found mine hidden under "other devices"
right click on the errored driver and choose update
choose browse my computer
select the driver you downloaded from step 2
verify if working by running fastboot devices and you should get a serial number

I thought the only thing it broke was the camera and there's a DMR fix for that. Does it mess up something else?

Hi
I ve the yellow exclamation mark in device manager -> other devices -> "Android"

same is when pointing to the drivers from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

Add the driver manually.

At least for me it wasn't enough to add the driver manually (I think because the invalid driver would still be there). So you need to right click on it, update, then browse to the downloaded driver.
OK I got it working with installing the driver, win10 bootet with disabled Driver Signature enforcement

i have the problem as you and I'm also on win10. can you share how you installed the fastboot driver?
the adb and mtp drivers work fine for me, just fastboot is not working

try this one

I have the same problem with my Sony XZ1 Compact G8441.
'adb devices' shows my phone, after 'adb reboot bootloader' phone goes into fastboot mode (I think), the one with blue LED, but 'fastboot devices' does not show any connected devices. Same when pressing Volume Up or Volume Down while plugging the phone in.
After some reading I figured it was a driver issue, so I tried installing drivers from Sony XZ1 Compact driver and Sony Fastboot Driver.
Tried installing through device manager, right-click on faulty 'Android' under 'Other Devices', update driver, browse to download location.
With 'Sony XZ1 Compact driver' it found no installable drivers.
With 'Sony Fastboot Driver' it found an installable driver but had an error. Error said something like 'Did not find "Android ADB Interface", installation failed'.
I tried figuring out what you guys meant by 'installing driver manually' but I don't understand. Is it what I tried above, or something else?
My goal is to be able to install TWRP, which needs an unlocked Bootloader first. I followed the instructions on the official Sony Website for that.
Sorry. Delete this.

If you're using Windows 10 you'll have thought that you'd have installed the drivers, but W10 fails on driver install and doesn't tell you.
Start the pc in 'safe mode' (hold shift while restarting), then choose 'driver signing disabled', install the drivers agiain. This time it should work.

No, that did not help. The same problem remains. Phone is recognized when powered on by 'adb devices' but not recognized after typing 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot devices'.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
I got the problem that no matter what i do i can't install the driver.
Booting windows 10 with driver check disabled does not solve my problem.
Once i selected the driver to install i end up with a questionmark in the device manager above the android device. Taking a closer look reveals that there seems to be no driver installed.....
Any advice?
I tried:
1. Booting with driver signature check disabled
2. Switching windows 10 into test Mode
I booted ubuntu from a live usb stick and went from there. That works like a charm without the need of installing any drivers
Both solutions do not work....
