I have seen so many threads on this it is making my head spin...I am now completely confused as to what I am screwing up.
The Nexus is my sixth Android phone and I have never had this issue with any of them. No matter what I do, following any guide, I can not get this thing to show in Windows as an ADB Device...It always comes through as an Interface.
I just can not get this thing to recognize in ADB as a device...Anyone have any advice on things to try?
Have ADB, Fastboot, PDANet, SDK/goog drivers on system...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
On a Nexus 4G W/Sprint
I don't have a Nexus S 4G myself so I have to guess at what's happening. It sounds like the computer doesn't have the right USB drivers installed for the 4G phone. From everything I've read, installing PDANet provides the drivers you need. So I'd suggest uninstalling PDANet, checking to make sure you have the latest version (because the 4G is a pretty new phone) and reinstalling it and make sure the USB drivers that come with it get installed.

Okay so I am about to go insane trying to get this to work. I've got a MyTouch3g which I just flashed cyanogens 5.0.7 this past week and haven't been happier.
However I was trying to get ADB to work on my new laptop, as my desktop machine is out of commission at the moment. I remember how much of a pain it was to get working, but this is getting ridiculous.
I am running Win 7 64bit with all windows updates. I downloaded the Android SDK and followed all the instructions to the T from cyanogen wiki. Except when I plug my phone in, it reports USB device is not recognized and has 'malfunctioned'. I don't even get anything reported under Device Manager except 'Unknown Device'. From here I've tried updating the device via numerous google reports of 64 bit usb drivers to no success. I also tried the Motorola Droid drivers for the 64 bit via a installer and still no success. I even tried the HTC Sync which still, no success.
I tried using USBDeview and removing any HTC and going from those steps as well, there were two HTC devices listed from when it previously worked fine on my 4.2 cyanogens, and again this didn't help the matters.
At this point I am wondering if something is wrong with my phone? I cannot even mount my SDCard anymore.
im trying to use heimdall because i bricked i got the screen with phone and computer heimdall recognises the phone and everything but when i get to the part to install the drivers i install and it says successful this is where the problem is when i go to flash i get this error
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
how do i fix it anybody any help appreciated
Are you using Heimdall or Heimdall One-Click?

Uninstall kies and uninstall the existing usb drivers b4 installing heimdall ones.

Make sure you don't have any Samsung drivers installed. Restart the process, but try a different USB port on the PC & see if that helps. Rebooting may help as well.
Rebooting is always a good idea when you have problems. If you are following my guide read the notes about USB ports. Pick one for Heimdall One-Click and don't use it for anything else regarding your phone.
none of that worked i did all of it now heimdall wont even recognise my phone :'(
so am i completely borked ? i have honestly never had this problem with an android phone before
Keep trying.
Well done good job
And no you aren't "borked." People have this problem randomly and the reasons/fixes are also random. Without sitting in front of your computer myself it is hard to diagnose the problem.
ahhh ic okay that makes me feel better atleast im not entirely ****ed thanks for the advice and ill do what i can im going to keep this thread open and going so that any ideas someone may have can pass my way
Thoroughly uninstalling all drivers, deleting One-Click, running CC Cleaner, and rebooting is a good place to start. Make sure Kies isn't installed. Make sure Samsung drivers isn't installed. You have to uninstall Samsung drivers in 'Uninstall Programs' to get rid of those. I use USBDeview to double check all the drivers for a port I want to use are deleted.
Next it is often USB cord related. Make sure it is not a loooong USB cable. Make sure it is firmly pushed in to the computer and phone. One person had to have his USB connection to the phone more to one side than the other to make it work.
Just keep at it.
And consider hitting thanks with the people trying to help you.
Get rid of all the old drivers!
Spot on advice to get rid of Kies and any other Samsung drivers. I've been working on this on and off for days, and finally got there through this last post.
One final thing - I used the Heimdall drivers to overwrite that ones that Windows had put in by default, that was the final touch that got it all working.
I've tried installing Samsung drivers for my GS2 Skyrocket many times, but it the device drivers never install properly. This, of course, stops me from connecting my phone to the computer and stops me from rooting, etc. So, I'm looking for help on how to fix this. I'm running Windows 7

:highfive:
I have the same problem. The only thing that has worked for me is a different computer. Luckily i have a laptop from work. Don't ask me why but nothing works on my home computer and i have tried every suggestion out there. I have gotten odin to regonize my device however on my home computer and successfully flashed a recovery. I like TWRP the best. Once you have the recovery you're good to go.

It didn't work, unfortunately.
The main issue is that CDC Serial and Android_Samsung don't "install" correctly.
I have trouble connecting my phone to this laptop. It either doesn't connect or ejects while I'm transferring something, but it's fine with my netbook. I suspect it may have something to do between 32-bit (my netbook) and 64-bit (my laptop) operating systems, but I don't know much about it to actually confirm that. It may also be an issue with the stock cable.
If using another computer doesn't work, you may want to try another USB cable. I have a couple other MicroUSB cables lying around that seems to establish a better connection, but I leave important transfers (ROMs, flashing, etc) for my netbook.
What's the error log say?

Hello, yes this is my first post. Glad to finally be on here.
But, unfortunately it starts off with a problem.
I have the Android Revolution HD XE 7.2 ROM installed on my phone, completely rooted S-OFFed and so on.
My problem is that now I'm starting to get into developing android apps, and trying to get my computer to detect the phone has been very tricky indeed. I'm using Eclipse with the SDK installed, I've developed on other phones, I was using a Samsung one the other day so I know everything is working.
I attempted to install HTC sync which I believe is what I need to make the USB connection work, all worked fine. Only when I use "adb devices" nothing is detected.
So I'm guessing this is either down to the fact the phone is all custom and it doesn't exist to HTC sync, or because I'm running Windows 8.1 and something has screwed up down the line. In device manager my phone is listed as 'Android Device' with a yellow triangle because it can't find any driver automatically, but I'm still able to transfer files to the SD card via usb and everything works, just development doesn't (and yes, debugging mode is active).
Help appreciated, and please treat me as the newcomer I appear to be, use small words

Here is the link of the drivers:

You can choose the driver that meet your requirement.
I have already attempted that before actually going ahead and installing the full HTC Sync. I'm beginning to believe the problem must lie somewhere else because the drivers are there and work fine, my phone connects just fine but it's not visible to adb or anything.
EDIT: I managed to fix it by using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
whether it is the best solution I don't know because it's pretty old, however my phone now gets found by adb.
Thanks for the help guys!
I've never seen this before and I'm coming up empty on my forum searches.
I can't get Windows 7 to install drivers for my N5. Usually device manager will show something related to nexus/adb/etc but this time all I get is an "Unknown Device" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
I've tried everything I can think of including the steps outlined in Nexus Root Toolkit as far as deleting any traces of old drivers and still nothing.
Anyone know what's going on?
nevermind, got it to work finally. I don't really understand how driver installation works but I got it to work by changing to a different usb port.
