I don't think windows 8 limit the amount of things you can do.. I found that out the hard way.. Idk what to tell you but use a friends windows 7 cpu or something

Windows 8 has compatibility modes just like XP & 7 did. Also Windows 8 Pro has a virtual server built in. It's called Hyper or something like that. From within that you can install an older OS.
Also try uninstalling kies and load Samsung drivers instead.

I agree with this 110%. I spent a day reading and trying to make it work. Took me 10 minutes on windows 7. if windows 8 should update on its own or run an older version, its really a hassle just to figure out

Hi!
I have made a bit of confusion regarding the windows 8.1 situation...I'm actually have this situation:
PC: WIndows 8.1 x64 update 1
AMD FX cpu
Asus 990FX am3+ socket mainboard with Asmedia USB 3.0 ports ( so not direclt from the AMD chipset )
Phone: HTC One S [S4]
So if I have understand correctly HTC has released the driver to make the One S recognized under windows 8.1 x64 BUT fastboot keep be not working under windows 8.1 ?

I didn't find a solution with my windows so I use Ubuntu live cd for fastboot. To enable this open a terminal type 'sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb androit-tools-fastboot' and you are ready. Use sudo fastboot in every command.

Im going to try to install the update on Win10 preview. Will it work.. (update: it did not work)
Never got it working on win8.1, but tbh I gave up months ago. I'll prolly flash back to Win8.1 soon, and try this update.

Bricked my device

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Nexus 5, it's that I cannot boot ANY Android (No android at all, just shows Google logo)
I can get into Recovery mode, but the phone is EMPTY (no rom on it).
Adb (How to push files using ADB without Android SDK The Easy Way - Team Nocturnal <-- go to youtube and paste that, i followed that tutorial) doesn't work unfortunately.
Any suggestions guys ?

Just wrote a thread about adb. Click link in signature then look for section 1

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. It's probably in rootSu's guide. That'll set up the adb you need

I unfortunately cannot pass the 'unwanted things' in How to test adb and fastboot work, since I cannot install the driver.
It shows like AOSP on HammerHead and I cannot install a single driver.
Thanks!

You need these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956
If you are using windows 8 or 8.1 then you have to turn off driver signature enforcement

Well, you need to fix that.
If you want help please explain in detail your issue

Well the good thing is that I unbricked it, by following How to Unbrick or Unroot the Nexus 5 (incl. Tamper Flag Reset) on YouTube by C4ETech, the bad thing is that I have to install everything again, but okay my fault
Anyways guys thanks for help !

If you can see the Google logo when you turn on your device and can go into recovery, it's not bricked. Bricked means it will not turn on at all. It's essentially just a "brick" with no possible way to recover.

Completely agree. And by this rule, there is not really such a thing as a software brick either.
That said, I do sometimes use the term "Radio Brick" when a Rdio flash has gone wrong and it cannot be fixed without being sent to the Vendor. Can't think of a better term.

By that term, anything nonrecoverable can be considered a brick which is still more accurate than a device being bricked or software bricking a device yet it can still be turned on and/or charged.
Anyway, I say all that to say to the OP and all who think they are bricked, all is not lost if your device functions at all.

[Q] OPO Root problem. Device not found

Hello everyone,
I've been a member since the I had my Sony Xperia X10 and Samsung Galaxy S3 and both phones were rooted using xda forums. I greatly appreciate this community and should contribute more but I'm not that advanced as most users here. I do have a little some experience tinkering around with the computer but I'm mainly a hardware type of guy and know only a little on software.
But here is my problem. I tried a few methods of trying to root my One Plus One and had little success. I came to a conclusion that it's a driver issue. When i use the command adb devices, it wouldnt show any devices. When I look in the device manager with my OPO plugged in, the drivers are missing. I tried to manually download android sdk and install from there but still no luck. I tried using the GUI toolboxes which has the adb and drivers to install. But still came out with no luck.
Can anyone assist me with my situation? When I turn on Developer Options and checked Android Debugging and USB Debugging Notify, I would not get the message to confirm and give access to the computer. I can open all folders in Windows 7 of my OPO and I use the original data cable supplied with my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Try manually installing the correct driver in device manager. Chances are that Windows is picking a matching but incompatible driver from your old device or tries to be smart.

Nexus 5 probably briked (adb/fastboot not work)

I have problem starting my nexus 5 (Stock, android 6.0)
Boot stopping on Google logo. However adb unavailable (adb devices shows nothing, but USB debugging enabled in Dev settings)
Ok, when I go to fastboot menu fastboot devices shows nothing too
hxxp://i.imgur.com/gH9G7SS.jpg
I tried this under Windows 8.1 and Xubuntu
On Windows phone displayed as "Unknown USB device", but Windows decline offer to update driver for this device (aka "My system driver up to date")
I also tried to wipe data through recovery, but it returned error - couldn't mount /cache, /data and /system
Please help.

Have you tried under Windows 7? I don't know or use Linux and I also have problems with Windows 8 so I downgraded my machine to Windows 7 and stays on 7.

uninstall and reinstall the drivers in Windows.

Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit button "Install & test drivers" - it guides you through the setup of your Windows drivers. I also had problems with Windows 8, though I think that 8.1 was ok, and on Windows 10 I have no driver problems.

On Windows 7 the same behaviour

Not sure what to suggest but you need to get it recognized so you can unlock the bootloader and flash a stock ROM.

io_zhik said:

Start the device in bootloader mode... Look for DEVICE MANAGER in Windows, connect the phone and look for it on the list. Right click and UNINSTALL (probably Unknown USB device).
Disconnect the phone and reconnect it, it should install by itself and start working. If it works you might have to do the same while the phone is in bootloader mode.
If this doesn't work, try installing Wugfresh's nexus root toolkit, it guides you through everything, including installing/updating windows drivers. A lot of experienced users don't like the toolkit since you don't actually learn much by using it. The way I see it is as a tool (as it's name says) that does all the work for you while you sit back and relax, and so far it has worked well most of the time, specially when doing what you want to do, do a fresh install of Android.

You could also try updating the Windows drivers using the drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339

I didn't know you where the first one to ever suggest the toolkit. By your logic, you too should have quoted whoever suggested the app before you, even if it was in another forum.
Anyways, since you actually took your time to complain about it, and to make you feel better, I'll say sorry. wtf lol
