I've installed HTC Sync, the Android SDK, but nothing, I get an error and the computer never recognizes the phone.
Any suggestions?
In the device manager, it says unspecified android device, and I can't install any drivers to fix it.

I would download the android sdk. This has all of the android drivers. Download it and open it to install drivers. Then plug your phone in and select disk drive.

He said he downloaded the SDK in the first post. I would uninstall all, reinstall, reboot, and then use a different port/cable if necessary.
I just saw that. Maybe try the phone on another computer to make sure its not the computer.

I`ll try to help you:
1. Download the 0.73 drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 and extract the file once with 7-zip
2. Connect the phone to usb and in device manager (rightclick) delete all excisting drivers of the device and after that uninstalll the device.
3. De-connect and reconnect the device and prevent windows to search for drivers. Select the device and rightclick and select update drivers. Then choose to install drivers from the pc and choose the unzipped 0.73 file and click install.
That should work, you may have to reboot the PC sometimes.
Good luck bro.

i appreciate it. however i had tried these to no avail. i went ahead and uninstalled the current drivers, rebooted the computer and retried. however after redownloading the files and extracting, i tried to install them once again.. this is what i keep getting
it should be noted that i am unable to chose the unzipped files when pointing my computer to the drivers..

If you connect the phone to the pc by usb and go to device manager and you rightclick on the Nexus 5 and choose update drivers. Choose the second option for installing drivers from the pc and select the unzipped naked drivers file, is that not possible?

sorry, i misread your previous post and thought you mentioned selecting the zipped file! no it absolutely allows me to select the unzipped file, and shortly after it pops up the attached error stating it cannot find the necessary files..
this same error popped up for the google supplied drivers, as well as the lg supplied drivers

yes, i have tried them a few times to the same outcome. maybe i just need to give it a break and try again later.. rather frustrated. i am not a tech genius by any measure but i am certainly tech inclined to the point i have never had any issues with drivers before... much less rooting/flashing roms..
Please take your time to read this.I will keep it quite short, but try to understand my problem.
Ok so I am trying to enable USB debugging for my Nexus 5.But everytime I try to install the ADB driver, it says parameter is incorrect (I'm using windows vista).
At first, I didn't have the SDK installed, so I downloaded the 70 MB SDK Manager, and from there I downloaded the platform tools & google drivers, then I tried installing the drivers manually using the Device manager using both methods of locating the file manually using the have disk method and the locate the directory and include sub folders method..but both have failed to install the driver and it keeps saying the parameter is incorrect.
Suggestions?
Use a different driver from the one included in the SDK. Either use the USB driver package provided by lg(I did this and it went flawlessly) or use the "naked adb driver" which is a simple adb driver that should just work.(I used the former because the naked driver is third party and not properly signed, so it's a pain to install on windows 8)
Find either through a Google search.
Edit: nvm this guide includes the links required: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/nexus-5-driver-adb-fastboot-installation-guide/

i am sorry to ask this but are you having problem enabling usb debugging? did you activate developer option by tapping build number seven times?
Man this stuff gave me such a headache same issue here. But with fastboot. I had to manually update the drivers while the phone was plugged in. That's what messed me up.
First uninstall all drivers
While phone is on.
Update drivers with USB debugging enabled
While phone is in boatloader
Update again.
Adb and fastboot should work fine after that. Use one of the exe type drivers. Like LGS driver .exe than go into the device manager and update. Let the computer find the drivers.

First off,
i am rooted with weaksauce, power saver enabled, supersu installed, usb debugging checked. PC is windows 7 x64. I wanted to do the firewater s off but adb is not listing my device. I have previously had adb connecting to my device( while trying htcDev Unlock before weaksauce root). Under device manager with phone booted to os, I get no android device listed. If i boot the phone to fastboot, it will list an android device in device manager, but still not listed on adb devices. Leads me to think its a driver issue. Removed and reinstalled all htc drivers but still no love. I do not have htc sync installed. I am kinda at a loss right now as to what to do. I also tried uninstalling weaksauce root and supersu but it was the same with or without. anyone have any ideas?
from what i read its a driver thing but this didn't seem to fix it for me.

If you are in fastboot it will not show up under adb... you need to install htc sync for the drivers then uninstall htc sync the program. Make sure you are using adb version 1.031 and that usb debugging is on.

Adb version in cmd prompt
Htc sync should have the drivers you can try Google to find a stand alone installer. Also switch usb ports.

My htc shows under portable devices. Under other devices it only says Broadcom USH. Also when i plug my phone into usb it says htc installed correctly, ready to use. but also "unknown device not installed "
I have never in all my years of rooting and roming had this issue and it's a pain in my ass!!

Having trouble trying to update driver. When asked to direct to the driver, i cant find it. Its looking for an .inf file but the driver is in an exe file. Dont know where it supposidly installed to.
i used this to pull mine http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/
you can use the inf's or try to use the restore its your call
windows 7 64bit
If you're trying to S-OFF, the instructions state HTC Sync Manager isn't supposed to be installed. So if it still is, uninstall that (you can uninstall it separately from the HTC drivers). Also, make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Plus, when you connect the first time after enabling USB debugging make sure you hit the checkbox that says something like "always allow". I didn't, and it didn't prompt me on subsequent connections. I had to disable USB debugging and re-enable it to allow adb commands to communicate again.
good point i dont think that was tried go to debug and revoke authorizations

the only reason i installed htc sync was to get the drivers and after install i removed it. and debugging is checked. if i uncheck usb debugging and re-check, i don't get an option for a checkbox. just asks me to ok or cancel usb debugging.
Tried revoking authorizations....same deal....no device listed.

Download the correct drivers and after connecting the phone to the PC/Laptop, go to Device Manager and right-click the entry with the yellow triangle, then Update Driver, Browse My Computer For Drivers, then Let Me Pick From A List of Available Drivers On My Computer and then choose the drivers you downloaded and install.
If still facing issues, driver signing may be an issue, so search the internet on how to install drivers after turning off driver signing on the PC/Laptop.
