adb not listing device

First off,
i am rooted with weaksauce, power saver enabled, supersu installed, usb debugging checked. PC is windows 7 x64. I wanted to do the firewater s off but adb is not listing my device. I have previously had adb connecting to my device( while trying htcDev Unlock before weaksauce root). Under device manager with phone booted to os, I get no android device listed. If i boot the phone to fastboot, it will list an android device in device manager, but still not listed on adb devices. Leads me to think its a driver issue. Removed and reinstalled all htc drivers but still no love. I do not have htc sync installed. I am kinda at a loss right now as to what to do. I also tried uninstalling weaksauce root and supersu but it was the same with or without. anyone have any ideas?
from what i read its a driver thing but this didn't seem to fix it for me.

If you are in fastboot it will not show up under adb... you need to install htc sync for the drivers then uninstall htc sync the program. Make sure you are using adb version 1.031 and that usb debugging is on.

Adb version in cmd prompt
Htc sync should have the drivers you can try Google to find a stand alone installer. Also switch usb ports.

Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Select 'Android USB Devices' & select 'Next'

I have never in all my years of rooting and roming had this issue and it's a pain in my ass!!

Having trouble trying to update driver. When asked to direct to the driver, i cant find it. Its looking for an .inf file but the driver is in an exe file. Dont know where it supposidly installed to.

i used this to pull mine http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/
you can use the inf's or try to use the restore its your call
windows 7 64bit

If you're trying to S-OFF, the instructions state HTC Sync Manager isn't supposed to be installed. So if it still is, uninstall that (you can uninstall it separately from the HTC drivers). Also, make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Plus, when you connect the first time after enabling USB debugging make sure you hit the checkbox that says something like "always allow". I didn't, and it didn't prompt me on subsequent connections. I had to disable USB debugging and re-enable it to allow adb commands to communicate again.

good point i dont think that was tried go to debug and revoke authorizations

the only reason i installed htc sync was to get the drivers and after install i removed it. and debugging is checked. if i uncheck usb debugging and re-check, i don't get an option for a checkbox. just asks me to ok or cancel usb debugging.
Tried revoking authorizations....same deal....no device listed.

Hey guys I followed the correct instructions and downloaded the correct files (cf auto root and Google drivers) but my PC can't find/detect my device and because of that when I run the windows command it stays on "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Is there something I did wrong? Do I need to download something else? Any help would be much appreciated

I take it you have created a path in windows /android-sdk/platform-tools ?
Have you disabled usb driver signature authentication if you`re on Win8/8.1?
You could try removing the device in device manager and also uninstalll all drivers, then dis- and reconnect to the pc and install the google usb drivers from the sdk manualy.

ADB debugging enabled?

Nexus 5 showing up as ACER ADB Interface Windows 8.1

Hi guys, I recently installed windows 8.1 and now my N5 shows up in device manager as ACER ADB Interface and I can't acces MTP , I didn't had this problem with windows 7 , it worked perfectly back than ( i have unlocked and rooted my N5 with windows 7 without any issues ) . What can I do to make it work with windows 8.1 ?

I had the same, you have to go into Device Manager and roll back the driver to the Google one. Proper PITA

I can't do it, the roll back option is grayed out

I have managed to make it work, nevermind .

I rolled the driver back, but it keeps updating to it. I've uninstalled and deleted the driver, yet it keeps reinstalling it. Somehow, my MTP connection started working again. Not sure how though. If I knew which KB update it was, I'd uninstall it from there.

The other option is to manually change the driver in Device Manager from the ACER one to the Google one. I think it's happened as M$ have the ACER driver digitally signed whereas the Google one isn't so it'll always choose the signed driver...

I'm not sure how to do that, because, of course, if you try to update it, it will say that the Acer one installed is already the best driver. And after uninstalling it, upon plugging it back in, it updates to the Acer driver automatically again.

You have to manually check and select 'choose from a list' and you'll see the MTP option as well as the Acer one. Select the MTP one and you're good to go

I went through those steps, but on my system, the MTP driver wasn't listed as an option.

Hmmm, I've only ever used the Google drivers from the SDK until this stupid ACER one appeared. Managed to get back to it now so it's all good. Perhaps download the Google driver and then point to it?

Yeah , I forgot , sorry about that . I managed to make it work by downloading this drivers " https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip " . After i have extracted the driver i plugged my N5 to the PC, than I went to the Device Manager i right clicked the Acer ADB Interface and I have selected Update Drivers . After that I selected the folder where i have extracted the drivers , than i chose " Let me pick from a list ... " , I selected MTP USB Device and Voila , it works !

I can never seem to get adb or fastboot to work I gave up and dual booted my computer with Linux Linux hasn't given me problems with adb or fastboot

This worked for me
Hi guys, I had the same problem. My phone was configured as MTP but when i connected to Win 7 it would appears in the Device Manager list as "ADB", this wouldn't allow me to transfer files so what worked for me was:
1- Connect your Mobile to the PC and it appears as ADB Driver (In the device manager screen), rignt click on ADB and select Browse my computer for driver software.
2- Choose let me pick a from list of devices on my computer and choose the option MTP instead of ADB.
3- Did that and problem solve, hope this helps for you !!

Delete this Acer ADB driver when you uninstall it
I have the same issue. Here is what I did and that resolved the issue. Go to "Device Manager" to uninstall the Acer driver. The uninstall window pops up asking you if you want to uninstall it. There is a check box that says "Delete the driver." Make sure you check that off and then go ahead and uninstall it. Once that's done, plug your Nexus 5 back in. The correct MTP driver will now be installed and your computer will recognize the phone normally. Hope this helps.

Experiencing the same on Windows 7...have tried everything suggested
Really hoping someone can help because I've just about had it with this. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have a brand new Nexus 5 16GB. As others have indicated, when I plug my phone into my computer with debugging enabled, it creates an "Android Composite ADB Interface" device listed under "ACER Device" in Device Manager. See attachment.
I have tried every permutation of the 'uninstall driver, manually install Google USB driver' solution, to no avail. The best way I can describe what I'm seeing is that Windows is forcibly categorizing the device as an 'ACER Device' even though the driver files themselves are telling it otherwise.
If debugging is DISABLED, and EITHER MTP or PTP is ENABLED, everything is just fine - the default Windows drivers for those devices kick in, and no 'ACER Device' category is created.
If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP and PTP are DISABLED, when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver, it says that the device could not be installed.
If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP is ENABLED, the 'ACER Device' issue rears its ugly head even when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver.
I've already disabled Windows automatically fetching a driver online, so that's not to blame.
If this is the result of a Windows Update, does anyone know the number of the update so I might try uninstalling it? I can't seem to find it despite searching.
Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks!

[Q] Issues while installing drivers

It has now been over 7 hourse since i started trying to unlock the bootloader. But to no use. I tried downloading the Universal ADB Driver and the alternative given on the thread. but facing issues with both. I dont think the drivers are getting installed correctly. While the later didnt do much, i tried the alternative which reads:
1. Install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.5.33.0
2. Restart the computer (very important)
3. Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
4. Select Browse my computer for driver software
5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
6. Select ADB Interface from the list
7. Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yesto continue.
Done!
But on step 6, I dont see any option to select ADB interface. really bugged with this issue as I have watched several videos on youtube but none is really addressing my concern.
Btwn..not a noob here..Have been around since 2011 and did a lot of modding on my Nexus 5. But I can certainly use some helping hand here..
Cheers!!

Always uninstall any previous drivers before installing new ones. They might cause conflicts.

Download the correct drivers and after connecting the phone to the PC/Laptop, go to Device Manager and right-click the entry with the yellow triangle, then Update Driver, Browse My Computer For Drivers, then Let Me Pick From A List of Available Drivers On My Computer and then choose the drivers you downloaded and install.
If still facing issues, driver signing may be an issue, so search the internet on how to install drivers after turning off driver signing on the PC/Laptop.
