Hi guys so I'm trying to unlock my bootloader and I cant get my phone's serial number to show up in ADB devices. When windows tries to install the driver when i plug my phone in it always says failed.
And to add to the problem, my SDK Manager is not working after trying to reinstall the JDK. Says I have to fix the PATH variable, which i did, but i still get that error.
I've tried a lot of different solutions, but the driver still isnt working.
So any help guys? Im on win7 home premium 64-bit with an unrooted Nexus S running stock on 2.3.2
SOLVED by using PDANet

So I've RUUed my hero before and I'm trying to do it again and my phone my computer can't find it. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop and PC and I've gotten both to recognize my phone before but now I can't.
My PC is running the newest version of sync with the Win7 drivers, my laptop is running the 2.0.8 version of sync with the manually installed vista drivers, I'ver restarted everything a few times, can anyone give me some help here? I'm getting really frustrated.

Try going into device manager and removing the MY HTC DEVICE from the USB list. The reboot and reinstall your drivers.

I had the same problem as you and this guide worked perfectly:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
I started at Step II. Reinstall Drivers since I already had the SDK.
This might be a silly question, but do you have the correct RUU?
try swapping usb ports
I tried everything I could find on this forum to fix this problem.
This was the only thing that worked.
The last part specifically, the only about copying the files from the sdk\tools folder to the RUU folder.

Same with me.
W7 64 bit, installing 64 bit HTC sync drivers + updating the 3 files fixed it.
Dont forget that Windows 7 overwrites the HTC drivers with a ASUS-Garmin-ADB driver.. just uninstall(and remove when it asks to delete) the drivers and then reinstall the HTC drivers
Well this fixed my RUU issues but not I'm having issues with Flipz's Kitchen

as for the kitchen problem, after the ruu you must then on usb debuging. then you can use the kitchen to root.
I hope this solves that problem for ya
I've been trying to s-off my phone but its giving me the waiting for device status, after hours of googling i am stumped. I installed the latest SDk/drivers etc. adb devices detects my phone, i've even gone and installed pdanet just to see if it will connect and yes it does. HTC sync detects my phone, but revolutionary doesn't which i find very very odd and stressful. I am running windows 7 64 bit and yes i ran the program as admin. If there is anyone with any insight I will gladly appreciate it.
T.I.A!
MODS PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD UP SOLUTION FOUND!!
I managed to figure it out by replacing AdbWinApi.dll with the newest one from the sdk. Now I am stuck on fastboot as adb doesn't detect it out now. reinstalled fastboot drivers, but nothing happens.
The phone is unlocked, with clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.0 and stock rooted 4.1.1 ROM.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1.
When the phone is ON and the debug mode is activated, it shows correctly under "device manager" and adb works right, but when I reboot in bootloader ADB doesn't see any attached device even if it shows correctly under device manager.
I tried to update the USB driver of the Android SDK but dosn't work
I then uninstalled it and tried to install the Universal Naked Driver (almost all of the nexus or samsung types) but doesn't work
I uninstaleld it and tried another USB driver found on the forum but doesn't work.
I tried to install Android SDK on another PC with Windows 7 x86 SP1 and repeat all the steps but it's the same.
How can I unroot and lock the device if it doesn't shows when in bootloader mode?
You don't use adb in bootloader. You use fastboot.
Locking the bootloader does not unroot by the way.

Have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh? It is an application that takes you in several easy steps in installing drivers, rooting, and lock/unlock your device. For installing drivers there are several additional steps when installing them seems unsuccessful.

This is true, I've used Wugfresh toolkit too but I had some problem...
I've Nexus S 9023, with wug toolkit I had no problem to install driver with its very complete guide, this part can solve your problem but make attention on other function, for example with it I've also unlocked my phone but when I tried to root my device freeze.
So maybe that not all toolkit function will work well on all Nexus S.
Please stop with this toolkit nonsense.
Its not a driver issue at this point. Its the user using ADB instead of fastboot.
Remove this and that when he is just using the wrong command. This is the nonsense you see when all people know is some toolkit.
Yeah, I'm an idiot, that was not a driver issue
it's just because I usually root/unroot/unlock/lock my android phones once in a while (when I first buy and when I sell them), so I always forget some basic procedures and searching through the forums is always a mess, I spent three hours doing that, before posting...
I had forgotten ADB and fastboot weren't the same... anyway, I solved with WugFresh (I didn't know it, thanks for the tip) but I could have solved even with plain fastboot commands, I know
Anyway, I'm surprised to realize that the real stock ROM is more stable than the rooted and deodexed stock ROM I was using before, now the 3G/2G/airplanemode swithing is blazing fast and the performance drops on some games are gone... I'll never figure out this Android world
Thanks for all your help :victory:
A few months ago I tried upgrading the bootloader to Jellybean and somehow things did not work correctly. I really don't remember how exactly I messed it up but at the moment I am stuck with a Unlocked Bootloader and on 10.4.2.9 US firmware unrooted. Any advise on to which root method will work? I had tried a few back when this happened but I kept getting errors. Also now I can't get windows to recognize the device either by using Asus Sync or any other Asus driver I have found.
Thanks
firstly you must install TWRP by fastboot.

That's the main problem I'm having now, no matter what drivers I install on the computer, Windows does not recognize the tablet. The driver installs correctly but when I plug in the tablet I get an error stating "There is a problem connecting the device to Windows" or something like that.
So before installing Windows 8.1, adb and fastboot worked beautifully, however after grabbing the update from the Metro store, fastboot doesn't work, my phone isn't recognized. It says something about "failed enumeration" in the device manager. I've tried reinstalling HTC Sync and redownloading it from HTC's site ti get the latest drivers (after which I uninstall HTC Sync of course)
I've also tried Koush's drivers but neither installs the fastboot driver.

I have been trying to get it recognized in fastboot for pas four hours without any luck.. Prior to this, I also had W8 with working fastboot and now I get the same error as well. I tried numerous times, even uninstalled all my drivers (except for display and mouse) to do a clean driver reinstall, but without luck :/

Hi, can you guys try this method if you still in windows 8.1???
I personally having a samsung phone and I also having this problem after upgraded to windows 8.1 but now I'm back to windows 8 so I just cannot test it. After test please report back the results to me and I really hope it works. Thanks~
By the way, can you guys tell me your phone model???

Well, I tried something similar, but whenever I uninstalled the usb port from device manager, it reinstalled back and reported that the device is not recognized..
I've got HTC One and its drivers don't work on 8.1. However, I installed HTC drivers (by installing and uninstalling HTC Sync Manager - possibly the lamest method that exists) on Vista and it instantly recognized the phone. So the five hours on 8.1 could have been saved by spending circa 3 minutes on Vista.
But on some forum somebody mentioned that you can use live CD of linux and it will get recognized easily

Thanks for your fast reply. Seems that even Microsoft is providing free update for windows 8 but a phone that unable to flash by using bootloader is kinda useless for unofficial ROM users like us.
I have something don't understand from your post. You mentioned that install and uninstall the sync manager on Vista but why not back to 8? The drivers will work on 8 right? I formatted my computer back to 8 and now finally the windows recognize back my phone.
Other than that, do you still have the link to the live CD forum??

Well, my primary PC is my laptop with 8.1, but I've got desktop as well with dual-booting Vista and 8.1 and it is way faster to do it on vista, than to partition HDD and install Windows 8. Also I'm not dev or some tinkerer, so I don't need to use fastboot that often.
To answer the second question, I closed all tabs regarding the drivers on 8.1 as soon as I did what I needed on Vista, so I'm afraid I don't have the link. I could probably find it somehow using my internet history, but I spent several hours browsing various forums, so it would take me an eternity...
