Which drivers? I do not believe the win 10 driver is out. The only one that I found is for win 8.1

Try pc companion. I'm on Windows 10 with my test computer and it recognizes my phone. Only problem I'm having is with flashing rooms but apparently that's a known issue for my particular problem.

Windows 10 can use Windows 8 drivers no problem. As previously stated, you may need change your start-up settings to disable driver signature verification.

Did run the command prompt as admin? Either way, just do this:
1) Go to start
2) Click "Power"
3) Click "Restart" while holding down the Shift key
4) In the next screen that comes up, click the "Troubleshoot" option
5) Now click "Advanced Options"
6) Click "Startup Settings"
7) On the next screen click "restart"
8) On the next screen hit "7" on your keyboard for "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
Then install whichever drivers you need. After they're installed, you can reboot normally and enjoy the drivers.

THIS worked like a charm!!! THANK YOU :victory: :good:
One fix down a few more to go. I'm having several issues with Win 10 on my laptop.

Glad it worked! Let me know if you have any more Windows 10 related issues

Unable to update Xperia Z3V
So i'm on a windows 10 machine with a sony xperia Z3V i'm unable to get the pc and phone to flash and to get this updated on the new version of Lollipop or marshmellow. I get to the flashboot and when i try to run it i get
04/059/2016 01:59:02 - INFO - Checking header
04/059/2016 01:59:02 - ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.

04/059/2016 01:59:02 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
04/059/2016 01:59:02 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
I'm not sure why this isn't working i've been looking for something all night on this and I can't find jack. All i keep seeing is no matter what windows 10 installs the MTP USB Device for the xperia and the windows 10 Phone companion takes over from there. I tried using the sony companion and it never shows that i can do anything with the software but "restore" the phone. I've done several resets on the phone taking it back to stock and runing version 4.4.4 kitkat but I'd really like to get this updated or possibly find something else that will run on the machine.
Can anyone help? I've done all this stuff on alot of Samsung Devices and it seemed so much easier. I'm not sure if its because its a sony phone or because i'm on windows 10 now.. I'm thinking it could be a combination of both.
My friend also has the same model and tried to contact sony but they said because we are in the USA they can't help us. The updates from verzion keep failing on both our phones as well that can take us to atleast 5.1 Lollipop

Haveing Same Issue With My Xperia L and ZR, It Only Charges, But Can Browser Storage, Did Everything From Booting In Disable Driver Signature Installed Xperia Companian, Flashtool Drivers Still Cant See My Device Storage On Pc, But Can USe Flashtools

need Windows 8 USB drivers

Hi,
I just extracted the latest USB driver (USB_Acer_1.0_USB_A700 A701), but there are Windows XP, Vista and 7 drivers inside only.
i tried to install the Windows 7 driver on Windows 8 64-bit, but had no success...
The one that isn´t working is the "USB composite device" driver.
I need any Acer Windows 8 USB 64-bit drivers for Android 4.0...
Will Acer release a Win 8 driver for the A700 in near future?
Hi,
You should try installing the Android SDK, which has general Android drivers inside them.
Connect your Acer device onto your computer.
Install the Android SDK and once the program has started, it'll (down)load and show you all the Android versions and tools.
Make sure you have only selected the checkboxes "Android SDK Platform Tools" and "Google USB driver". Now click on the right bottom button labeled: "Install packages".
Select the radio button: "Accept All" and click "Install".
Now click with the right mouse button on Computer, click Manage. Go to Device Manager. Right click Acer A700, click update driver software.
Choose "Browe my computer for driver software". Choose "Let me pick from a list".
Click all devices or/and Have disk..
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ and click the file under the 2 folders (android_winusb.inf)
Click on the first one and install.
Good luck and let me know if you succeed.
Edit:
You can skip the first part and download the Google USB driver I uploaded:
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/1434863/file.html
Thank you very much it worked for me!
Thanks for the re-upload but there appears to be a problem with the contents of the zip file. When I try to extract it, I get this message: " the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". Could you download it yourself, or anyone,& see if you get that message.
Cheers.
EDIT: Thanks Tom for re-uploading again. It extracted OK this time. Unfortunately, I have had to send my A510 tablet in for repair, the charge light stopped working. I must admit to some ignorance in what to do with the unzipped files, as there is no installer for it, unlike a typical install of a USB driver. Perhaps you, or anyone, could educate me a bit?

Sure thing,
I explained it a little in my previous post, but I will try to explain it a little better this time.
1. Click with the right mouse button on Computer.
2. Click Manage.
3. Go to Device Manager.
4. Right click Acer A700 (or A510, OR anything that looks like an unknown android device), click update driver software.
5. Choose "Browe my computer for driver software". Choose "Let me pick from a list".
6. Click all devices or/and Have disk..
7. Go to the (extracted) folder you used from my upload in the previous post (usb_driver) and click the file under the 2 folders (android_winusb.inf)
8. Click on the first one and install.
Now Windows will recognise your tablet.
If you still don't get the hang of it, check out this video I found on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbXatmo4QBU
The video may seem a bit dull, but it's actually useful if you really can't find any of the things I explained.
In the video, the "woman" explains on how you can find the Device Manager, on another way I explained.
Follow the instruction in the video until Step 8, which means you shouldn't follow step 8 but continue from my instruction from step 5.
Good luck!
Ps. If you really really don't get to install it, I would like to offer to do it for you (no charge, if that even was a question), if you trust a complete stranger on the internet (but you can abort any time). Just PM me.
Thanks. I will do this when my A510 returns from repair. It is waiting for a part to arrive from overseas, so don't know when it will return.

The A510 has returned. I have tried to install your driver but have no success.
At step 6, I get presented with "Show All Devices". I am shown a list of Manufacturers & Models. I choose nothing & click "I Have Disk".
I navigate to your folder & click on android_winusb.inf
I then click on "Install From Disk" button. I am then shown the option "Select The Device Driver You Want To Install For This Hardware".
There are 3 items shown: 1. Android ADB Interface, 2. Android Bootloader Interface, 3. Android Composite ADB Interface.
I choose number 1 as that is the one I beleive you mean in your option 8.
I click "Next" & get a warning about "Installing This Device Is Not Recommended Because Windows Cannot Verify That It Is Compatible With Your Hardware". I continue the install & after about a minute, I get this message "Windows Found Driver Software For Your Device But Encountered An Error While Attempting To Install It"... and..."Android ADB Interface".... and...."This Device Cannot Start (Code 10)".
The Device Manager now shows Unknown Device as "Android Phone".
Await your reply but am thinking about reinstalling Windows 7 & leaving Win 8 until I get a touch screen laptop & Acer Tablets get a USB driver for Win 8. Acer say they are on the way but can't/won't give me a date.
Windows 8 is an annoyance on my 4 year old Asus N50Vn laptop.
Without drivers, can you still access the SD?
@theoldfarter
That's odd, but can you try choosing the third option: 3. Android Composite ADB Interface.?
Maybe the drivers I uploaded are out of date in Windows 8 and you should try installing the Android SDK.
Install the Android SDK and once the program has started, it'll (down)load and show you all the Android versions and tools.
Make sure you have only selected the checkboxes "Android SDK Platform Tools" and "Google USB driver". Now click on the right bottom button labeled: "Install packages".

@TomONeil
Tried the third option: 3. Android Composite ADB Interface but get same error message.
Downloaded the Android SDK from your link & followed your instructions but get the same error message with both option 1 & 3.
I am wondering if it has to do with the A510 being upgraded to Jelly Bean (4.1.2)?
Here is a fellow who has Jelly Bean & Windows 7, where once he had updated to Jelly Bean, his Win 7 doesn't see the tablet anymore. His name is papyb & his post is the second up from the bottom, on page 2 here: EDIT, can't post the link. Darn the rules. lol.
I will try to PM you the link.

Googled it & now know what you mean. That option is for Windows 7.
I use windows 8 & Google tells me this about it:
"7) Disable driver signature enforcement
The Disable driver signature enforcement option allows non-signed drivers to be installed in Windows 8.
This startup option can be helpful during some advanced driver troubleshooting tasks."
I will try this but when I tried installing the driver as per Tom's instructions, the driver in question said it was digitally signed.

That won't work 'cause the driver can be installed, only it's not starting.
Do you have USB Debugging turned on in the Developer Options?

Did not have that turned on. Done so but makes no difference. I have just discovered that my built-in camera is not working with Win 8, Skype says there is no camera installed. It worked with Win 7. I am thinking that the "unknown" device in Device Manager is the camera, not my tablet.
No wonder I can't install the driver to it. lol.
With the tablet not connected, I uninstall the "unknown" device & then scan for changes & it shows it again.
It looks like the A510 is not recognised by Win 8 as anything, period.
I have had enough of Windows 8. It is causing more problems than it is worth. In a couple of days, I will reinstall Windows 7 & start over.
Will report back when all has finished, which may be in 6 days time.
Thanks for your help so far.
A700, mass storage and Windows 8

I would like this link as well. Since I've updated my a510 to JB 4.1.2, my computer doesn't detect it when I plug it in via USB. I can plug a USB stick into the tablet and it sees that, but when connecting to PC, nothing at all. USB debugging is also turned on. Would love some assistance with this.
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/1434863/file.html
This is the USB driver.
When clicking on start and entering "device manager", a new screen will pop-up showing you all the connected devices. Somewhere you should see Unknown, Fastboot, ADB, Android device/phone, A700 or Acer. Install it with the USB driver.
Note for everybody:
If it is NOT working, try to find Android Phone in the categories list when installing the driver. That one might work too if my solution doesn't work.
dis method helped me...!

[Q] USB BOS descriptor failed, "waiting for device", "Device cannot start. (Code 10)"

[Q] USB BOS descriptor failed, "waiting for device", "Device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Hello
The situation:
I'm trying to relock the bootloader and flash RUU, so that I can get rid of the tampered flag and start over.
I'm trying to use Hasoon2000's Toolkit to do this, but I'll try any method that sounds reasonable.
When I connect the HTC One S to the PC (running Windows 8) and select 'Mount as disk drive', the PC recognizes the device, and I can explore it. Using Hasoon's toolkit I select "Relock Bootloader" and click "Do Command". A first command prompt pops up, then my phone goes into fastboot, then I close the first prompt, then a second prompt follows and says "waiting for device".
I enter the Device Manager -> "Android USB Devices" -> "My HTC", -> Right click -> "Properties". In the Device Status field it says:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."
EXTRA INFO:
I didn't use Hasoon's toolkit to unlock the bootloader, I actually used the platform-tools from the SKD bundle thru the terminal on a mac pc. Then I flashed CWM onto the One S using "./fastboot flash recovery recovery_thefilename.zip". Then I reloaded bootloader, selected Recovery, then my phone's screen went black, turned back on, and I saw the Red Triangle with the Exclamation mark. According to a "How to" blog, which I didn't read until after the fact, I was supposed to hold down the power button and volume button at that point in time, but I didn't. I had no idea what was going on. I pressed the power button and my phone restarted, and now every time I reboot to recovery mode, it just restarts the phone and says "This build is for development purposes only. Any redistribution will result in legal action." or something like that.
OK THAT'S ALL.
I appreciate any help!
jire
The text in red is normal if you have a custom recovery.
Just get the device in fastboot USB mode.
Check with command: fastboot devices
To see if it is connected. I should return you sn number.
(Since you manually unlocked, this should be easy for u.)
Then manually flash a correct recovery (or use the toolkit with the custom option). Reboot in recovery. Flash ROM.

Can you try to execute fastboot oem lock command on Windows OS which have hTC drivers installed? I guess that you using Linux OS now... Just install Windows in VM and hTC drivers, adb and fastboot you can download on htcdev.com or from android bundle package... I'm pretty sure that you have problem with your drivers...

USB 3.0 might be the issue
Hey guys, thanks for trying to help me out here, I appreciate it a bunch!
Before I go any further. I think I've learned what the problem is. Well, first of all, if you didn't catch it, I've been working thru this on both win and apple computers.
Hasoon's toolkit is only available for windows. Therefore, if I said/say I did something with his toolkit, that means I was using my win computer, which is actually a Surface Pro, which has USB 3.0 === THE PROBLEM
According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29286429
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test this hypothesis, yet, because I first need to find a win pc with USB 2.0. [Fact: I couldn't get androidfiletransfer.app to recognize my htc one S on my mac. Coincidence?]
real187: When you say to install a "correct" recovery, are you implying I currently have an incorrect recovery on my phone?
mikronac: I have virtually no experience with command prompt. I just got my Surface Pro last week :laugh: and I'm geeking out...So, what I'm saying is I don't know how to do "fastboot oem lock command" ... The htc drivers are installed, up-to-date and operating without a hitch.
It can't be problematic your usb 3.0.
Please deinstall your phone drivers and install them again...
If you know how to navigate to platform tools folder in Windows Explorer, only what you need to do is to hold shift key on keyboard and right click on mouse and select option open command prompt here. Than you type :
Adb devices
Response should be serial number of phone
Adb reboot bootloader (uab debugging must be enabled)
When it reboot in fastboot, type in cmd:
Fastboot oem lock

I can confirm: It is USB 3.0
Hi, today I faced similar problem while trying to put my Sony Xperia S into fastboot. Only after finding this topic and switching from USB3.0 port to USB 2.0 did I manage to boot into fastboot. I have not tested, if I can boot into fastboot now, that the driver has been correctly installed via USB 2.0, but to avoid any troubles I suggest everyone to stick with USB2.0 for now.
I found this topic as I had the exact same error in Device Manager as OP in this topic.

I know it has been a long time but I just encountered the same problem with fastboot, an HTC One S and Windows 8.1. These steps from Microsoft (a registry edit workaround) enabled my computer to recognize the device and got fastboot seeing it too:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43.aspx
I'll paste the workaround here in case Microsoft take the page down:
To apply the workaround for a specific device, add a REG_DWORD value named SkipBOSDescriptorQuery that has a value of 1 to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\vvvvpppprrrr
(where vvvv is the device's Vendor ID, pppp is the device's Product ID, and rrrr is the device's Revision number. You can get the VID/PID/REV numbers from the device manager's details tab. This number is encoded in the HardwareIDs of the device)
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK .
2. Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
4.Type the name of the new key in the following form:
vvvvpppprrrr
where
vvvv is a 4-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the vendor (idDevice from the USB Deviceescriptor),
pppp is a 4-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the product (idVendor from the USB Device Descriptor)
rrrr is a 4-digit binary-coded decimal number that contains the revision number of the device
(bcdDevice from the USB Device Descriptor).
5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
6. Type SkipBOSDescriptorQuery for the name of the DWORD Value, and then press ENTER.
7. Right-click SkipBOSDescriptorQuery, and then click Modify.
8. In the Value data box, type 1 , and then click OK.
9. Exit Registry Editor.
10. Unplug and re-plug the device for the workaround to take effect.

Problem is caused by Windows 8 and Windows 10. Just no compatibility for old hardware.. I'm disappointed from Microsoft Windows. Btw, I tried all methods in forums and in YouTube too (updating USB Root Hub drivers). Nothing helps, just "Failed device enumeration". Windows 10..

Diagnosing USB Driver and ADB issues in Windows

Are you getting errors like "device not found" or "device offline" while trying to run ADB commands? Here's a quick way to troubleshoot your problem on Windows.
Steps
1. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
2. Verify current Google USB Driver is installed and that Device Manager is using that driver.
3. Update to latest version of ADB.
1. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
Enable Developer Options by going to Settings -> About Phone and tapping on "Build Number" multiple repeated times. You will be greeted with "You are a developer."
Now, under Settings -> Developer Options, ensure you check the box for "USB debugging."
2. Verify current Google USB Driver is installed and Device Manager is using that driver.
You may skip this step if Device Manager lists your phone as "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface." If it does not, this is likely your root cause.
Go to the Google USB Driver page and download the latest driver directly from Google. Extract the zip file to a folder you know and will remember in the future.
Open up Device Manger in Windows with your Nexus 5 connected. Whatever your Nexus 5 is currently detected as, right click on it and select Properties. Then, in the Driver tab, hit "Uninstall." If available, select "Delete the driver software for this device." and hit "OK." It will remove the old drivers.
Restart your computer.
After restarting, reconnect your Nexus 5. It should be recognized as an unknown device in the Device Manager. (If it isn't, try the previous driver deletion steps again.)
Right click on the unknown Nexus 5 device, choose Properties, and in the Driver tab again select "Update driver." Browse your computer manually by putting in the path to the new Google USB Drivers you unzipped to a folder of your choice in the beginning of this step. Choose next and your drivers should install! You'll know everything completed successfully when you see the phone listed under "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" in Device Manager.
This is the most finicky process, so don't be afraid to reboot your computer a time or two and repeat these steps if they don't work on the first try.
3. Update to latest version of ADB.
This is a crucial step. The new version of ADB is required to work with the "USB debugging authorizations" setting.
Perhaps you know how to update ADB, in which case, just do it. However, here's a detailed manual approach to download JUST the adb suite from the SDK:
Go to the Google Android SDK website and choose "Use An Existing IDE" and click the "Download the SDK Tools for Windows." This will allow you to download only an 80 MB file rather than the whole 400 MB suite.
Install the SDK tools exe to a folder of your choosing.
Run SDK Manager and uncheck everything except for "Android SDK Platform-tools." This is the ADB and Fastboot bundle. Install that.
Navigate to your SDK Path as indicated at the top of your Android SDK Manager window. You will now see a freshly downloaded platform-tools folder containing ADB.exe, Fastboot.exe, and a host of other files. That folder is now your updated, portable ADB tools folder. You can move it anywhere you like as long as you run ADB from a command prompt window set to that directory.
After you've followed these procedures, running "ADB Devices" should trigger a prompt on your device to accept the RSA fingerprint of your computer. Accept it, and now all should be working as intended!

Setting up ADB and Fastboot commands to work from ANY path (credit to original author in quote).
Chromium_ said:
Setup, Preparation and Prerequisites
ADB and Fastboot Installation
Download the full Android SDK here (scroll to the bottom of the page>DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS>SDK Tools Only) or get a slimmed version containing only the essential components here (Thanks @El Daddy)
Extract the zip and place the android-sdk-windows folder on the root of your hard drive. (the path should be like this: C:\android-sdk-windows)
**If you chose to download the slimmed sdk skip to step 5**
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go into the folder and run SDK Manager.exe. Install the following packages (there are a total of 4 packages):
- Tools > Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools
- Extras > Android Support Library, Google USB Driver
Only if you downloaded the full sdk: Go back into the android-sdk-windows directory, and you should see a new folder named platform-tools. If not, repeat the step above.
Open a command prompt window and run "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and a new window should popup. Go to the Advanced tab > Environmental Variables
Now focus your attention to the System variables box (the lower box). Scroll down and look for the Path variable > highlight it > click Edit > go all the way to the end of the Variable value text box, and paste the following entry:
Code:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
(OR WHATEVER PLATFORM-TOOLS DIRECTORY YOU PICKED)
Click OK then close all of the System Properties windows
You should now be able to use adb/fastboot commands no matter what location your command prompt is in. To confirm that it is indeed working, open a command prompt window and enter "adb version" (without the quotes). If it displays "Android Debug Bridge version x.x.xx" it is working. If it is gives an error saying that adb is not a recognized command, it has not been successful. Carefully repeat the steps above if this is the case.

I hate to admit this, but I couldn't figure out why nothing was appearing in the device list when I did "adb devices", while the phone was in Fastboot. I did everything from A-Z and tore my hair out for 30 minutes until it hit me, my phone's in Fastboot. I've been messing with Android for 3+ years and made a newbie mistake lol.

I'm not sure what happened but on my WINDOWS 7 (64 bit) OS I had to modify "%WINDIR%\inf\wpdmtp.inf" as shown here: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37930602&postcount=937". I then uninstall the device and drivers and performed a hardware scan to get it to work. I also added a "...PID_4EE2&MI_01" line but I am not positive that was required.

I've tried everything and cannot get the authorization prompt to pop up on my Nexus5 so when I run adb devices the phone shows up as "unauthorized". Any suggestions? This is with updated sdk and USB drivers. Device manager shows phone as "Android Phone->Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Portable Device->Nexus 5". Tried toggling between MTP/PTP, USB Debugging on/off, stopping and starting the adb server (latest version 1.0.31).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Finally got the ba$tard! Run this for some adb debug logging:
adb kill-server
set ADB_TRACE=all
adb nodaemon server
Go and look back at the output from the start for any errors. In my case it couldn't mkdir in c:\users\administrator, which for me doesn't exist. I changed the Windows environment variable "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" to point to "C:\users\<my account dir>", closed the DOS window, re-ran the commands and I got prompted for the permission on my phone. Yee ha! Now I can fire up hello world with the SDK on my phone. Praise be to Google search for turning up this thread that told me about the debug logging.

I just rooted my N5 (using the guide on this forum so I had no other drivers other than Google's SDK) and after unlocking my bootloader windows did not recognize my phone so I couldn't go further. Upon checking device manager I saw something called "AOSP on Hammerhead", a quick online search found a lot of very complicated answers (uninstall all drivers, restart, install adb drivers was one example).
Instead of all that I just right clicked "AOSP on Hammerhead", chose Update Driver, manually choose driver, went to "Android bootloader", chose the default driver from "Google inc" manually and that for some reason worked.
I figured this might help someone since the other solutions I found really were very long.

Not showing up as removable storage
Hi, maybe you can help me.
Last night I unlocked my N5 using CF-Root, and flashed TWRP using Flashify. However, when I plug my N5 into my home computer it doesn't ever show up under 'My Computer' with other removable storage devices. It is present in the device manager under 'Android Phone -> Google Nexus ADB Interface'.
I've tried restrarting my computer, uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Developer mode is enabled and if I switch from MTP to PTP then is shows up under removable storage, but I only have access to the DCIM folder. Switching back to MTP makes it disappear.
On my work computer it shows up correctly no problem.
My personal computer has had multiple installations of WugFresh Root toolkit and ADB/SDK files for my previous Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 but I uninstalled most of that before setting up the N5.
Thanks!

It shows up as a 'Portable Device' -> 'Portable Media Player' (I was thinking it was a 'Device with Removable Storage').

I have the same problem and done the same exact things u did. any help?
I'm having no luck with unlocking bootloader of my Nexus 5 today. I've unlocked previous Android devices fine, but this one for some reason it's not detecting it in USB drivers. It shows as Other devices -> Nexus 5 in device manager, but when I select update driver & navigate to the dir where Android SDK/extras/google/usb_driver
Windows was unable to install your Nexus 5
Windows could not find driver software for your device.
I updated the OTA that came right away earlier, maybe this caused the Windows USB drivers to not work match the updated OTA build? Is there a way to ensure that old windows driver is uninstalled? I can only select 'uninstall', but not the 'remove old driver files' some docs mention. Also when I connect my Nexus 4 it's fine, and enabling debugging mode prompts for to allow the security fingerprint of the PC. But this prompt doesn't appear on Nexus 5, not sure if it's supposed to happen AFTER the PC is able to communicate with the N5 or not, which is the step that I'm stuck on. Tried it on another Windows 7 system and same problem.
UPDATE: Well my Nexus 4 worked fine along with adb until a few minutes ago, after toggling the Debugging Mode on the phone, it's not recognized on Windows now either. So definitely think it's a Windows 7 or Google USB Driver issue. Any pointers on how to start over (without reinstalling Windows) would be appreciated.
UPDATE 2: For future reference, I got around my Windows driver issue by going into Nexus - Settings - Storage - USB computer connection, toggle to Camera (PTP) and Media device (MTP), that reinitialized windows to recognize it in Device Manager again. Stupid Windows.

[Q] USB Problem (searched everywhere)

Since the last windows update from this week windows cant detect my nexus 5. I tried everything. It keeps showing up like "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" And i doesn't show up immediately when i plug in the phone. It takes like 10 seconds, then it shows that with a yellow triangle.
Hope that someone can help me. There is also a thread on Reddit (/r/Nexus5) about this.

uninstall every driver related to android. Uninstall every usb driver. Reinstall everything. Try every sort of install. Install via toolkit. Nothing worked.
I tried other cables, doesnt work. Other computer. On other computers it does work (which arent updated to the latest windows). But the problem isnt something in the hardware because it really started after the update.
none ??
In Device Manager, click on the yellow triangle and then uninstall the driver. Once done unplug the phone and then plug it back in again... Windows should then install the correct driver.
Here's something else to try...
http://androidcowboy.com/2013/11/install-nexus-5-drivers/
If either of those doesn't work you could try a System Restore to a date before the update. Then when Windows update pops up again have a look at what it wants to install to see if you can figure out what caused the problem, then right click and select Hide Update.

That, and the fact it works on your old laptop tells me it's most likely a problem with the USB ports or controller on your PC. Do you have your motherboard disk? If so try reinstalling the drivers. Check USB settings in BIOS too.

Xperia Z5 fastboot driver not installing

Hi,
I have a rooted Xperia Z5 and I would like to update my firmware to 32.2.A.0.305.
I used to do firmware updates many times before using flashtool on my windows 7 machine.
Recently I switched to windows 10 and now need to reinstall the fastboot driver.
I downloaded the driver from sonymobile webstie:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
Unzipped the file, and got a directory with the "android_winusb.inf" file.
Booted the phone in "bootloader" mode via the TWRP recovery (LED on phone is blue).
The regular method of power down, volume up+connect to USB did not work. The LED was blue for a second and then turned off.
When in "bootloader/fastboot" mode, opened the windows "device manager" and found the problematic S1 device.
Right click on it, update driver, browse my computer, pointed to the directory where the ".inf" file is located.
Windows "makes sounds" as if it is installing the driver, but then gives an error:
"Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Android ADB interface"
"The system cannot find the flie specified"
I have no idea what the problem is.
A few posts suggested that this might be a driver-signing problem with windows 10.
They suggested removing the "driver-signing" option and try. Did not work.
I also tried this with a virtual machine Windows 7 that I have installed, and got the same error, so I'm not sure it is a windows version problem.
I read in one place that this is an error with the location of the file and that it should be located under the "C:\Windows\WinSxS" directory.
Tried that as well, and no luck.
Does someone have any idea what the problem is?
Alernatively, if someone can explain or point me to a post of how to use fastboot and flashtool with linux,
that can also help.
Thank you.

driver signature verification
1. Goto START (windows icon);
2. Keep pressing SHIFT, klick POWER and RESTART
(shift is pressed all the time along);
3. Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click the Restart button.
When your computer restarts you'll see a list of options.
4. Press F7 on your keyboard to select Disable driver signature enforcement.
Your computer will now restart and you’ll be able to install unsigned drivers.
This is firt to do, but didnt quite get it if you tried this allready. Greetings
Have the same problem. Disabled driver signature enforcement. Did not help
Are you sure it's disabled? Some pc's don't have the option to disable the driver signature enforcement. If that's the case you need to enter the bios settings and look for the tk keys and delete them, then restart your pc and you can install the fastboot driver.
Hope this helps
Had the same issue on my new setup.
