[Q]

i was trying to root my phone by following the guide from the FAQ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
and i got to the step:
point it to where you downloaded the Android SDK (..\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver)
Make sure to CLICK "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Then from the list 3 choices select Android Bootloader Interface
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to install the usb driver and it didnt work as there is no google usb section of the SDK download.
I went and downloaded google-usb-drivers from google but my computer (win 7) still cant find anythign compatible.
what do i do?
EDIT: oops i didnt realize i had no title. Sorry. Feel free to add one if you want.
Also i did search for this. and was suprised to find no results... however there are lots of different search boxes to choose from on this site. I was pretty sure i chose the one for nexus s

Did you select the correct library path for Windows to find the driver on the computer??

Did you select the correct library path for Windows to find the driver on the computer??
yes i did point to the folder. both the parent folder and the various inner folders.
it works fine in usb mode when the phone is on.
they are the official google usb drivers is there another source for my Nexus S.
also for reference it is under other devices - android 1.0
do i even need that step?

is there another good guide i can follow? maybe there is a step i need to do before usb install? This guide assumes the usb drivers will come with the SDK but the only data the SDK tries to update is itself to SDK15 which the guide specifically mentioned not to do.

that has the same issue
i cannot get usb connectivity in for the fast boot mode
from the rootkit the when i plug in my device even after installing the universal usb drivers i think windows is installing something else. Thus stopping me from accessing it while in fastboot mode
Not really sure what to do here. USB debugging enabled and everything all the guides are pretty easy to follow and have the same steps.

Google PdaNet, download and install it after attaching your phone to pc via usb. It will also install device driver... I think it is 'android 1.0' driver issue...

nope didnt work
just so you know when i plug in the phone with debugging on i have 'android composite adb interface' installed
i have removed all the drivers from this computer previously. i can do it again though.
after installing pdanet i have 'android 1.0' pop up under other devices with an exclamation on it in device manager...i don't know if that is normal or not?
how do i know when this is working? i always try to run "oem fastboot unlock" which goes to "waiting for device" but will i no longer see the
USB control Init
USB control init end
??

It is the same issue of android 1.0 driver which i also faced in win8... You have to install android 1.0 driver manually from device manager

so if i go to install the drivers from the pdanet folder if i tell device manager to search the winusb folder it says "cannot find drivers for your hardware" and if i dont search and say have disk - i chose 'android device' then the file in android_'winusb' file but it says "specified location does not have information about your hardware"
so i cannot get it to work.
This is on XP and win7 (2 different computers). I prefer the XP one for this though

adb not listing device

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.

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

Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Select 'Android USB Devices' & select 'Next'

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.

Hey guys I followed the correct instructions and downloaded the correct files (cf auto root and Google drivers) but my PC can't find/detect my device and because of that when I run the windows command it stays on "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Is there something I did wrong? Do I need to download something else? Any help would be much appreciated

I take it you have created a path in windows /android-sdk/platform-tools ?
Have you disabled usb driver signature authentication if you`re on Win8/8.1?
You could try removing the device in device manager and also uninstalll all drivers, then dis- and reconnect to the pc and install the google usb drivers from the sdk manualy.

ADB debugging enabled?

MTP Is not Working for me

Hi guys, i'm having trouble connecting my OnePlus ONE to my PC with MTP to do file transfers, ADB is OK. I'm using Windows 8.1 and connecting to PC trough a USB 3.1 port. In my Device manager i saw MTP as an unrecognized device. Where can i find a correct driver?

Unplug your device from your computer. Open up Device Manager. Plug in device. Look for the device in device manager. It may have an odd name, but you'll see something pop up when you plug the phone in. When you find it, right click on it and click "Update Drivers". Then click the "Browse" option. Then select "Let me pick from a list". Then click something along the lines of "Android ADB driver". This should let it properly communicate with your computer and let you browse data files on the phone.

Yes, the same driver will work for MTP. If your computer can successfully communicate with your phone via ADB, then it can transfer data as MTP. Is USB debugging enabled on your phone? And, does ADB actually work right now? When you type "adb devices" in a command prompt, does it give you a device serial?
EDIT: I'm not familiar with the 8.1 Entreprise version, I didn't think it would affect anything, apparently it does

Hi guys. I am having the same problem on Win7 64bit. MTP driver can't be loaded and therefore can't use file transfer for my One. Can't find Media Feature Pack for my Win7 either.

i had same problems on win 8.1
the problem is due to mtp windows drivers,
the problem is that windows will install his generic drivers and will override nexus 5 drivers installation
i solved by
1. uninstall all adb intefarces (for example, on acer, I had 2 acer adb interface and another adb bootloader interface)
2. deleting all android_winusb related folders from
