Did you set your environment variables to show the path located to your sdk folder? If not, then you need to be in the folder where adb is located in your command prompt.
Go to the Control Panel, and select the System Properties (Windows XP) or System (Windows Vista/7). Select the Advanced settings; Windows XP: Click on the Advanced tab.Windows Vista/7: Click on Advanced system settings on the left. Click on Environment Variables. Under the "System variable" section, you will look for "Path". Double-click on it. In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. %SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
That is taken from the cyanogen wiki on how to set up adb and android sdk.

[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!

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

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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Fixed for me on HTC Magic

Problem is caused by Windows 8 and Windows 10. Just no compatibility for old hardware.. I'm disappointed from Microsoft Windows.

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.. I will go back to Win7, fortunately I don't have license for 10.. Pray about these who has...
Bruh, this worked like magic on my HTC One X+ !!!
Using Windows 10 Enterprise Build 17134 by the way
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much bro. HTC One V good working.
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'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!

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.

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.
Hope that helps someone.

That... Thankyou for that info.
I was able to get ADB to work but was not able to get the device to popup as a storage device. That fixed it. Thanks!

Thanks, that link was really helpful! I struggled with the correct detection before (seems I had some old drivers for my last phone on that windows installation...)

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?

Thank you for sharing your solution.
my moto g3 with cm 13 nightly doesnt appear on windows explorer on my windows 10 pc and it doesnt appear on command window when i write {fastboot devices } . so does any one know how to fix this problem
Install drivers, set charging mode to data transfer in notifications
i already installed drivers and its read on command window but doesnot appear on windows explorer please replay if you know how to fix this
When the phone is in fastboot, it won't appear on pc via file explorer.
If it's not showing up as a media device, connect it to pc, press windows key+X and select device manager. See if moto g3 icon has a yellow triangle, that would mean that some drivers are missing or not installed properly. You will need to install them again.

i have connected my phone to pc and opened device manger and there is no moto g3 tag but there is an unknown device in section called other devices
and i already installed the device drivers and prove of that is when i write fastboot devices in command window the device serial appear
so can you help me
Then the MTP drivers are not installed properly. Check if adb devices command recognizes your phone. If yes, then adb and fastboot drivers are fine and only MTP driver is not properly installed. Go to start>seach for 'devices and printers' open it, it should open a control center page. Check if the phone appears there, and if it's there, check for a yellow triangle. If there is a yellow triangle present, just right-click and select remove device. Then reboot the PC and reconnect the phone, it should install all the drivers again.

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.
