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.

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

Hey guys, I'm a total noob (please don't hate). I've tried rooting my Nexus S running 4.1 for a long time now, but I just can't
seem to figure it out. I was wondering if someone could walk me though it step by step via some sort of
communication like MSN Messenger. I don't know whether I'm messing up the drivers or what it is, but my
I can't ever unlock my bootloader.
Thanks ahead of time.
Nexus S 4 life but you joined this month hmm lol
Which part are you stuck at?
I tried before I joined. I can't seem to make it say ULOCKED in the bootloader, but I think I'm screwing up the whole thing. Could you please guide me through it? You don't know how happy I'd be.

Do you mean you can't get the Yes/No dialog to show up? Looks like driver problems. Make sure you installed all of the Nexus S drivers needed. While you're in bootloader you should see Android 1.0 under Device Manager on your computer. Installing pdanet usually fixes this..Good luck
i tried pdanet but it comes up with this error message that keeps getting stuck between 2 windows

Hey NexusS4Life, if you still haven't rooted, I'd be glad to help you. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty familiar with the whole process now, seeings as how I've rooted a Nexus One and Nexus S.

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

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.
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.

Have you ever installed the ADB drivers? Sometimes they conflict if you install those first. What I mean is that if you use fastboot on your phone before using MTP, this can happen.

I also tried the all-in-one tool and same problem, the moment i check for bootloader status, the application hangs. has anyone faced this issue before? could use some help. Thanks

Sounds more like a USB connectivity issue, than a problem with the device. Try the command: fastboot devices
And if it just hangs, then you don't have USB fastboot connectivity.
To be clear, the phone is booted to bootloader-fastboot mode (which is required for fastboot commands)?
You need the latest windows 10 drivers, adb & fastboot. And off course Open Beta it's still young... meanning sh.. could happen.

Yes adb devices does register and adb reboot bootloader command does take me to the bootloader, but when i tried the fastboot devices it didnt register, so i think you are on to something. I will check again once i get home today. Thanks
I was on open beta, i reverted to 9.5.10 Pie in order to unlock bootloader and root.
If its not too much trouble, could you link me to the drivers (i would ask adb too but seeing as it works when i do adb devices command, i think thats working fine)? Thanks

One thing you can try, on Windows go to Device Manager, find the phone, and pick the option to update the drivers. Select the drivers manually (don't let Windows find the drivers automatically). Then the one called Generic Android Device (or something like that).
I sometimes have to do this, to get Windows to work with adb/fastboot.
This is all on my old Windows 7 machine. So if you have Win 10, it might be a bit different.

Thank you. You were right about the driver issue....going through the device manager yielded the driver situation. Had to enable debugging to finally let the driver install. I completely forgot about this. I had to do this same thing when i had to unlock bootloader and twrp for my HTC 10.
Now that i am done with this, a few final things i would like to clear out....doing the local update on root to restore stock system is still valid right? and if i want to go full stock from say custom roms like los and so on, a flash through MSM tool? Will doing that also relock the bootloader? Sorry for all the noob questions and thanks in advance.
Local upgrade works with/without root or twrp.
MSM tool revert youre phone like it's out of the factory. Bootloader locked, no root, no twrp.
If you come back to Oos from custom roms you need to Format Data (this will wipe ALL in youre phone. everything).
