nexus one Driver problem

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?

[Q] USB Debugging/Mass Storage Mode connection to computer issue

Hello folks,
I'm facing this "please insert a disk" issue when connecting my Note to computer via USB Debugging mode / Mass Storage Mode.
I'll let screenshots in the attachment explain itself. #1 shows the screenshot of devices menu when the phone is plugged into the computer in DEBUG mode; #2 shows the screen after I've clicked "connect USB storage" from the drop-down list of the phone; #3 shows what happens when I try to open one of the two "removable disks".
MTP mode works fine, as well as Kies connection. As I finally started exploring the potential of Android platform, I realized that MTP and Kies connection are the most useless connection options for me, and I'd rather leave it in debug mode all day. So has anybody experienced this issue, or had any suggestion on the solution?
As always, many thanks in advance, and many thanks button clicks afterward!
p.s.,
Desktop OS: Win7 Pro X64 SP1
Note: 2.3.6 Stock LB1 Open Germany Firmware, CF rooted LB1 kernel.
Also, I should have all the latest official device driver from Samsung, as I have the latest version of Kies installed (and I discovered a driver folder under Kies' installed location). I'm not so sure about adb driver, but I was able to find the Note to be listed under devices by typing "adb devices". So.. I don't know where could've gone wrong.

Help anyone?

This really sounds weird... I was facing problems of the Galaxy Note not being detected on several Windows7 32/64-Bit SP1 computers as well but this was gone after I installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.
You are right - from all that i know all required drivers should be available when KIES is installed on your system. Whatis even more strange is that your device seems to be detected as two partitions are available and are displayed in Explorer...
So I would test the following:
- check if your device manager lists any unknown devices
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
- check all available USB ports and see if this solves the problem
- try another USB cable
- make sure your (external) SD card is formatted with a Windows compatible file-system e.g. FAT32
Hope this is helpful and helps solving your problem.

Thanks for your reply!
My device manager basically listed all the drivers/devices associated with the phone:
My Device manager shows devices:
Samsung Android Composite ADB interface
Android UMS Composite USB device (x2)
SAMSUNG Android USB Modem
USB Mass Storage Device
USB Mass Storage Device (Android)
I've attached the screenshot when all the drivers being installed when the phone is firstly connected to the computer. Also in the device manager, everything shows "this device is working properly"
I then decided to test with another Note of my friend's (On the same computer). Her Note has no SD card in it, and is completely stock ROM non-rooted LA4 Open Germany firmware. The same thing happened.
One thing worth mentioning: Yesterday, this worked only for once. When I initially encountered this issue, I restarted my computer, and boom, my phone was connected in Debugging mode! However, once disconnected, and I tried to connect it to the computer again, this issue came back. And afterward, no matter how I restart my computer, the phone won't get connected.
I also tried all USB port (USB 2.0 and 3.0), three different cables (2 of them are Samsung OEMs) and failed to address the issue.
I'm nearly exhausted but I will never give up, as this is my only computer and my only phone (haha), and without solving this issue, I'm never gonna be able to view the phone as a USB storage and easily transfer the file from my computer to the phone.
I'm going to try the last thing that I haven't done from the list you posted:
- Uninstall KIES and try to find the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones and install those
I believe that I can keep the driver folder in the Kies' folder, as I believe those are the newest Samsung driver, given that the Kies was the latest release version.
So far, I can only conclude that this issue is not related to specific phone but the Windows 7.
And thank you for your help btotaku!
If anyone has any insight into this issue, please help me. Thumbs up for you!

BTW, I was able to extract both SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from under Kies' installation path under Program Files x86 folder, and an uncompressed folder of all kinds of drivers for Samsung device, called "USB Drivers".
And looks like I was wrong. The newest version of SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones I had was 1.4.8. While the driver that came with the newest Kies was 1.4.103
I'll post back soon

Reinstal Windows on your PC bro.
Problem fixed.

is that your internal memory or the sd card?

Same thing happens either with SD card in the phone or not

MTP & "Nexus 6" drivers won't install...help?

Hey guys, weird stuff going on here.
Downloaded the latest Android USB drivers as well as the SDK. When updating the device from the device manager, ADB drivers loaded fine, but MTP drivers and "Nexus 6" (camera mode) drivers will not install no matter what I try. USB debugging mode or not, no dice.
What I did find odd, is that when opening the android_winusb.inf file that was packaged in the latest usb drivers, there is no mention of a Nexus 6 phone inside - which explains why the drivers won't install See screenshots below.

I'm not sure if I feel comfortable "hacking" the inf file in order flash my phone, but maybe it would be ok Is this a screw up on Google's part or am I way off base here?

I'm having similar issues, laptop running win 7 can't see Nexus 6, DL'd drivers, even tried Motorola for drivers but although showing in device manager as installed no connection

At least they installed for you. The drivers don't even recognize my device. I still get a yellow Nexus 6 in device manager with no usable connection. Ugh...

Seems to be a lot of this going around. I'm on win 8.1. I couldn't get the drivers to work via the sdk. Then I tried the Google and Motorola drivers. After deleting the devices on device manager I finally got the N6 to connect via mtp. However, I can't the computer won't connect via mtp if USB debugging is on. On top of that I can't get adb to even see the phone. I would suspect it's more of a Windows problem at this point. I need to do some more testing from another pc.

Have any of you tried using Wug's Toolkit?

Managed to connect via PTP eventually by uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, seems to work with PTP and USB debug on, but not with MTP

This may not apply to you at all, but with the mess of Android drivers I have to install over time I've finally figure out a solution when something is not installing correctly. Did you try right clicking on the Nexus 6 (I'm assuming that has a yellow exclamation point) going to:
Update Driver Software > Browse my computer... > Let me pick from a list > Portable Devices > and find a compatible MTP driver in there
I'm saying Portable Devices specifically because that's how my Nexus 6 shows up as (as an MTP device) in the device manager.

Use the universal naked drivers. I have multiple devices and the drivers don't cooperate with each other but since I installed the naked drivers I have had any issues.

I fixed it! Wug's toolkit didn't work, although I'm about to use it to unroot, lock, and return my phone to factory state since it has to be taken back to the AT&T store to be replaced due to a screen defect. Hope they don't freak out about the death star being scratched off, lol.
Anyway, oddly enough the problem is because I'm using Windows 8.1 N, which doesn't come with Windows Media Player or any of the media features. Installing the Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 sorted it out. Installed, rebooted, done. I can now access the device in any mode and the device driver errors are gone.
So if anyone is having the same issue with Windows 8.1 N, download and install this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42503
Reboot and enjoy!

thanks

Ran into the same issue initially when I was trying to root my Nexus 6. Wug's didn't work, and neither did the naked universal drivers. Added the Nexus 6 ID to the inf and still didn't work.
Had to install the Motorola driver kit, and then go through the drivers as above to find a Motorola that finally worked; while the Motorola driver is just a wrapper for some Microsoft driver that normally comes built into Windows since Windows 7.

Nexus 6 Driver (ADB, Fastboot and MTP) for Windows and MAC
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/nexus-6-driver-adb-fastboot-mtp-windows-mac-68355/
I discovered the following troubleshooting tip listed below (amongst others) at the website above. It worked flawlessly with my brand new unlocked stock Motorola NEXUS-6 (XT-1103) and Windows-7 PC. Thank you and big props to the developer(s) who posted it!
1.Connect your Nexus 6 to computer with a USB cable and open Device manager on your computer.
2.Look for ‘Android Composite ADB Interface‘ entry, right-click and select uninstall from the context menu.
3.In the uninstall pop-up that appears, tick ‘Delete the driver software for this device’ checkbox and press the “Ok” button.
4.Disconnect your phone from your computer.
5.Disable USB debugging on your Nexus 6 from Settings » Developer options » un-tick ‘USB debugging’ checkbox.
6.Put your Nexus 6 in MTP mode (It should be in MTP by default unless you selected the Camera (PTP) mode).
7.Connect your Nexus 6 to the computer again, and let the computer re-install drivers automatically. If it doesn’t re-installs driver, try toggling the ‘USB debugging’ option on your device.

Same here. Nexus 6 stock lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader. I thought it was my personel windows 7 pc. But no its any pc I try to connect to. Found that out because I work at a big business full of windows pc's. I remember at one point not having this problem at all. Don't know if it was before one of the lollipop updates but I remember I used to connect my phone at work on any pc the pc would automatically open MTP asking me what I wanted to do. That was without adb turned on. I've tried everything searched everywhere, installed,uninstalled drivers from Google, Motorola etc. Even tried wugfresh's instructions. My pc does not recognize my phone at all. Mtp, Adb, Fastboot, nothing. Weird thing is I also have a nexus 5 and as soon as I connect it its recognized. Don't know if it maybe the cable that's the only thing I haven't tried since my cables are not Motorola cables, or nexus 6 original cable as that is the way I bought it. But it used to connect. Now I'm stuck, at a loss. Don't get it, called Motorola, Google, T-Mobile. I think they know nothing about phones as when I tell them the problem they look at me like I'm talking Chinese. If anyone knows what the problem is and have been able to fix it please hit me up @ [email protected] Just about to give up. I just don't understand what the problem maybe. Running stock lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader never rooted. Thanks and hope someone can help.

I had the same issue. I installed the latest google drivers from the Android SDK and my computer would not recognize my Nexus 6. I couldn't use fastboot or anything. I was able to fix this though. With my Nexus 6 hooked up to my computer, I opened device manager. There was the "unknown device" which was my Nexus 6 obviously. I right clicked on it and attempted to install the driver, the automatic driver installation method could not find it. I had to point it directly to the file. The file is located in the android-sdk files. I had to point it to c:/android-sdk/extras/google Obviously location will vary depending on where you installed the android-sdk. Just make sure to only point it to extras/google. I wen't further in the first attempt and it didn't work. I hope this helps. I suck at explaing stuff.

This didn't work the first or second time. I did steps 2 through 7 3 times and then it worked. I must have had a lot of drivers installed.
So if it doesn't work the first time, keep uninstalling the drivers and try again and again. Worse case scenario, you have to install the drivers again. hope this helps.

I want to add my own tale to his thread with the hope that it will help someone. I could not see the Nexus 6 when I set MTP mode or MIDI mode. The phone showed up on the PC when I selected PTP (camera) mode. In my case, I had four external USB3 hard drives connected. I finally turned off the hard drives and then MTP mode would be visible, both as a Portable Device, named Nexus 6, in the Device Manger, and as the same under My Computer in Windows Explorer. After Imy PC recognized the Phone in MT mode, I tuned on the external drives and all were visible.

[Q] USB Device Not Recognised

This is getting frustrating now, no matter what I do I get this message: "USB Device Not Recognised"
Here is what I have tried:
Connect on android
Connect as MTP
Different USB cable (5 to be precise)
DIfferent USB port
WebOS recovery
Reinstall Novacom Drivers
Restart PC
Restart Touchpad
I have no idea what else I can try, no matter what I do, this annoying message persists!

Platform? ROM?
What's the ROM you are using? Also, which platform is your PC on? Linux/Windows/Mac?
In case you are on some 5.1.x ROM, I would recommend a nandroid backup and flashing a known 4.4.4 ROM which might tell you if it's your hardware or just Android. If you were on a stable ROM earlier where USB was working, then I would recommend trying that. :fingers-crossed:

Similar Issue.
My TP actually works (sort of) via MTP but it frequently disconnects when transferring files and freezes my explorer window. I tried to use Mass Storage on PAC KitKat FINAL and windows reports that it can't find a driver for it and when I try to reboot into recovery it only mounts a tiny SD Card partition of some 800mb. This probably won't be answered but whatever. I've been trying to solve this issue the past 8 hours. I have nothing to lose.

hi, had some trouble with my win7 PC detecting touchpad (using JC's 4.4 Cm11), although ADB was installed - I couldn't see it as a storage drive despite the driver installing. touchpad was connected via MTP.
what worked for me was on windows - go to Device Installation Settings (drivers) and choose never install from windows update. Then under device manager -> android device -> uninstall. reconnect and it should work properly. hope that helps

Fast boot <waiting for device>

I just got hold of an xz2 for a bit of development work, and am trying to unlock the bootloader (yes, it's allowed, I've checked)
I'm connected to a usb2 port (same one I use for my mi mix 3 because that doesn't like usb3 for fastboot)
ADB works perfectly, however, fastboot lists no devices, and executing a command just causes <waiting for device> to show.
I've installed the drivers supplied by sony, though, the installation reported they installed but could not start.
I've never experienced this before, so, tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

Does it work with
Different cable
Different port
Different pc
Different OS like linux
?
If I remember correctly I had issues with windows drivers.

Tried different ports, same issue, not tried a different cable, but I know this cable works as I use it for fastboot on my mi mix 3.
I'll try Linux though, a few posts seem to say it works

my same issue adb working but not fastboot on windows 10.
i solved using ubuntu on virtual machine. on windows i can't use fastboot but with ubuntu on oracle virtualbox all is work perfectly

yep, worked with linux, well, i just connected it to my mi mix 3, installed the adb/fastboot binaries in magisk and ran the commands from the terminal, looks like all my fastboot work is being done from another android device

Arch linux only ?

Don't see why not, the binaries are just compiled for ARM, don't think they are architecture specific.
My mi mix 3 is ARMv8 (64 bit) sd845, and it worked fine, not sure about ARMv7, but as I say, I think the binaries are ARMv7 anyway.
So long as the device can host a USB connection it will work.

For anyone having problems with the,"Waiting for Device" in windows,
USB debugging enabled on the phone.
Connected to PC through USB data cable and Phone screen unlocked and File Transfers enabled.
In windows> Device Manager> Android device(or your device/phone) >ADB driver or similar > Properties> Driver> Update Driver > Browse Computer > Let me pick from a list of devices and Un-tick the show compatible devices and find one that works.
I've had to keep this general as there are quite a few variables with different phones makes/models but the problem is caused by Window's Device Mangler not getting the correct ADB driver installed/chosen and or too many varied ADB driver packages installed
HTH

First hit in google... so let me explain it again. (Yeah... fresh windows install ****ed me over... )
You need ADB/Fastboot.
Sony Drivers?: https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/
Google USB Drivers: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
If you can't install it. Disable Driver signature enforcement (Hold Shift while you press the restart button with the mouse)
When ADB works but fastboot isn't recognized reboot into bootloader "ADB reboot bootloader" and then in Device Manager find the "Android!" device and manually select the Android Bootloader as driver.
