In Windows device manger you probably have a usb port when an "!" On it. Right click it then manual install the usb drivers. You'll have to browes to whet you downloaded the drivers

Google "nexus 5 diagnosing usb drivers xda"
why use a toolkit on a nexus device? its easier to root your nexus without a toolkit.
1. "fastboot oem unlock" via fastboot unlocks the bootloader.
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot
3. flash the su binaries(supersu) in your new recovery.
4. reboot and profit, thats it.

might want to add after you unlock the bootloader to boot into the device once.

You're probably going to have to go into device manager, view hidden, and delete each usb port that is not being used and start over. Don't have your phone connected when you do this. It's a pita. Then reboot your computer, than plug your phone in. Also make sure you're using the usb cable that came with your phone and usb ports in the back of your pc

some people have reported issues if you didnt let the device 'reset' itself after you unlocked the bootloader so it could rebuild the data partition.
its more of a precautionary thing than anything else.

Ok first off, the whole reason I'm in this mess is because I couldn't get the phone to connect with my PC. I tried different cables, ports, and drivers. The official Samsung drivers have the message "device driver software was not successfully install;d ". So I basically couldn't connect it to my PC at all. Now since I had it rooted through towelroot I thought I'd use Flashify to flash TWRP. So I did. Now after a reboot I get the message, “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”. Now I have ODIN installed with the stock firmware downloaded but ODIN won't recognize my device. Any help at all would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Anything guys? Just getting ODIN to recognize my phone would help so much.
Do you have your phone in download mode? Beyond that, I'm not really sure. Everything I see that talks about odin just talks about download mode with no mention of any drivers or anything.

Any help is appriciated, thanks
Are the drivers installed? This is usually the problem. If that is not the problem, it may be the USB Port or the USB Cable. Switching ports usually helps.

Unfortunately, i have tried both of those things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers from both kies and the samsung website. I have also tried switching ports with no avail. I have found out when i connect my phone in download mode in one port there will be a sound as if a device is connected but i cannot see the phone on my computer, on all other ports it will sound as if the device connected and then disconnected immediately. I have also tried using multiple versions of odin.

Yes! You hear the sound of the phone being connected. Have you checked any processes on your computer when that happens? Download Mode needs certain drivers (downloaded automatically) to be able to work with Odin.

The 1st installation method did not work, so i went on to the the 3rd however when i look on device manager my phone is listed as an Android Device>Google Galaxy Nexus ABD Interface, when i try doing step 8 my computer says the drivers are already up to date. Going on details for the driver says its from ClockworkMod(my current recovery). Might this be why Odin cannot detect my device when in download mode? And if so how would i go about fixing this? Thanks for your help by the way

Hmmm. Another option could be just flashing to stock rather than using Odin. May I ask why you want to go back to stock? Are you returning your phone? If so, flashing a stock ROM should suffice..

Well yes, im soon going to be getting a new phone in May(any suggestions?? lol). However, since flashing Cyanogen Mod 10 i have had trouble getting calls. I cannot hear when the phone is dialing and if someone picks up on the other end i dont hear anything. Also, recently texts have not been working. I have seen that I am able to send texts but not recieve them, or if i do they will take a LONG time to come through and usually i will get all the messages at once.
Yesterday, I flashed the XtreStoLight addon package with Kernel. And now the phone does not start.
I don't have any roms or Backups on the s6.
PC does not connect and usb-sticks also not work.
It's an SM-g920F German without Sim Lock.
Can someone help me to make it working again?
Thank You!!!
What do you mean, by not starting up. It doesn't go trough SAMSUNG logo or it doesn't turn on at all
If it doesn't turn on at all, you must flashed faulty kernel, and your device is now a paperweight

That's also not working.
I used 3 usb-cables and all ports of two PC's
I also reinstalled the drivers.
if you can access to recovery try make full wipe (factory reset +wipe cash +wipe cash) also you try to enter to adb on recovery and try to connect device to pc and see if can recognize it or not

Put your phone in Download Mode, open Samsung Kies, and go to Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.
Enter your Model name (SM-G920x) and S/N
Let it do it's thing.

I believe you have corrupted bootloader area, try to keep forcing entering download mode, if still not working you will need motherboard replacement

If you are able to enter Download Mode, pay no attention to those messages from Kies, just do what i told you.
Connect your phone while in Download Mode and go to -Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation
God....
Install drivers first, they work on Windows 10. If it doesn't work, you have another problem somewhere we don't know.
Then, download SamFirm AND NOT UPDATO, launch the software then fill the boxes like you want (model, then region (means CSC)). CHECK BINARY NATURE
Once firmware is downloaded, you flash the 4 files firmware though Odin with Re-Partition and Nand Erase All ticked, and your phone will be alive again
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device
Okay so,
My phone has been rooted for a year, I disabled OEM Unlock by accident, my antivirus was always telling me its unsecure with this feature on and to 'click here' to disable it.. I forgot how important this was to have enabled while rooted and ended disabled it and that night rebooting my device.
I get this error when trying to boot my device:
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock"
I have the original stock firmware, and Odin and want to reset the phone but when I plug this device in ( while in download mode ) > the windows PC doesn't recognize it (no new device sound or any change in devicemanager) and therefore odin isn't recognizing anything either - - I can grab my other 2nd-device and boot it into download mode, plug it into the same setup and boom > recognized and 'Ready!' Status in odin almost immediately so I don't think it's my PC or the cables -- I don't think 1st-device has usb debugging enabled either and I'm not sure how to proceed ...
any help is much appreciated ...
Try to use Smart Switch (from Samsung website), which also has the latest drivers, to recover your phone. (Google "how to recover with smart switch")
Alright,
Forgot to mention I tried Samsung Kies but cannot find the serial number on the device, I'll give Smart Switch a try this evening on my other PC and report back... hopefully that PC recognizes it, my tablet connects to this laptop but not the phone.. could USB debugging being disable cause this?
How close to bricked is this?
I'm such a fool!
Thanks for the feedback so far..
Hi boot tar flash odin frp lock of after stock rom flash
I went through this a few weeks back. I found my serial number (was a sticker originally on back of phone) and used smart switch to recover firmware. Then enabled developer options, oem unlock, flash TWRP thru ODIN etc etc.
So if I find the serial number, I save it .. good to know, thanks!

Hey man, im having the exact same issue with my S7 edge.
So I got my IMEI number, and with my number I went to imei. info / and I got my serial number through a warranty check through the site, you have to register to do it.
I used Smart Switch and I get an error when trying to use the emergency recovery "Model number cannot be initialized"
I'm also getting the error on my PC when trying to connect my device to odin saying that "USB device cannot recognize" and with that I cannot flash the stock firmware on the device.
So if you have gotten any solution to the FRP lock please let me know.
Serial number is engraved on back cover next to the imei number -,- @samuraichick0n about "Model number cannot be initialized" try to write it in diffrent forms eg. G935f or SM-G935f uppercase or lowercase.

Hello, after exhausting all options I had to take the device to Samsung themselves - eventually they had to replace the motherboard on the phone to fix it.
So check if your phone is under warranty and take it in.
I fixed this when I first rooted by flashing the stock bootloader, firmware etc everything through odin
