ADB / Fastboot / Driver problem

Hey guys,
I am pretty new to the rooting stuff on the Nexus.
I read the sticky threat from rootSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527) and followed his description. So I installed ADB and fastboot through the "15 sec. installer" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979).
So fast so good, everything went fine. But as I tried to "check" if ADB and fastboot are recognizing my device with the command "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" in cmd, I got some strange output (look at the picture).
How can it be that ADB "sees" my device and fastboot not? What I did wrong there?
(I didn't installed the drivers with the 15 sec tool; when I plugged in my device to the computer, it downloaded the drivers itself)
Any help would be very appreciated!

Follow the next step on my thread and install the naked drivers

Okay thank you!
I'll try it tonight and report back.
I also thought of a problem with the drivers, but I thought that I messed up with installing ADB and fastboot somehow, because ADB could recognize my device.
One question again: When I uninstall the Nexus 5 drivers and I reconnect my phone to the pc, it download the driver itself.. How can I stop that to install the naked drivers?

Remember - adb ONLY works when Android is booted up or you're in recovery, fastboot ONLY works when you're in the bootloader

Damn, thats it! I am so dumb! I don't know how I could forget that.. I read it some hours ago.
After I went into bootloader mode, fastboot recognized my device!
Thanks a lot guys, now I can go to the next step to root my device! =)
Btw.. another question, which is offtopic - does it makes a difference to root KitKat or Lollipop? I guess the guides around here are all made for KitKat and I don't want to mess up. :/ Thx!

@rootSU has posted some new guides on rooting Lollipop, so best read his threads in the General section

To root Lollipop you have to use Chainfire Auto Root. There is extra security in Lollipop that keeps the old root method from KitKat from working.

Oh I see..thats annoying. But thank you for your answers! I guess I'll read those threads. =)
Btw.. Can you guys tell me if I understood everything..:
To go back to the official 4.4.4., I don't have to root my device, right? I "only" have to unlock my bootloader and flash the official factory image through fastboot. And afterwards I could root my device using the guides around here on xda.

On my old Samsung Galaxy Ace you had to root your device first, before you even could install another stock rom, thats why I thought it would be the same for the Nexus 5.
Thanks alot, I'll save my data on my PC now and start with the "downgrading"!

Yeah I think I got it now. I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the official 4.4.4. factory image from the google developers website. Afterwards I booted into the stock recovery and wiped data/factory reset and reboot. Everything is fine now!
Thank you for your help! Learned a lot of basic understandings.

8.1 Oreo Factory Image

For anyone who hasn't been able to sideload the update or wants the factory images, it is now on the Razer Development Portal

thanks! i've been waiting for this to update

So does this mean that maybe custom Rom/Kernel development may start?

Anyone know if it's safe to update to global 8.1 straight from the Three UK branded 7.1.1 version?

Download the Global Rom and unzip it. Make sure ADB and fastboot drivers are installed on your PC. Open command prompt with Administrator Privileges. Change directory to where you unzipped your rom, type ADB reboot bootloader, run the command flash_all.
Edit: make sure you have usb debugging enabled on your phone

Thanks for this do I need to delete anything off phone first does the bootloader need to be unlocked first sorry complete noob to razor though flashed recoveries and roms on my galaxy s8 .once I've done this will the phone be rebranded orndo I need to do that first.will I be able to download updates after ??

Thanks I'll gather some courage and have a go

Love this phone but Substratum/Andromeda still doesn't work on 8.1, still a conflict with Razer theme engine? Any way to disable Razer theme engine under root and enable substratum?!?! Or any other way short of flashing LOS, which I tried and failed to do?

Very true but you just need to relock bootloader to make a RMA claim through Razer. Had to do that with my first phone. Surprised this phone doesn't have a tamper flag on it.

Already unlocked bootloader on my pixel 4 XL

Followed the same instructions here: https://www.the***********.com/unlock-bootloader-google-pixel-3-xl-guide/
and it worked. I know this is probably obvious to everyone on this forum, but just in case anyone was wondering if the version from google was easily unlock able out of the box, it is. I was able to get the device early as a product advocate. Being that not a lot of people on XDA have the device yet, I may be the first person to unlock their Pixel 4 XL? :angel:

Have you tried booting Magisk on it yet?

Did you have to turn it on and enable OEM unlocking in Developer options first or nah?

did you try root it ?

And then fastbooting the image that magisk patched :good:

For those asking, no I haven't tried to root it yet. I just wanted to start playing with the device and signing in to all my stuff. No point in doing that first without unlocking the bootloader cause just like with any other phone that will factory reset everything. Better to unlock the device first before you start customizing it to you liking. Most likely root can be achieved without wiping again.

What command are you using? I tried fastboot flashing unlock and it just shows the help menu and fastboot oem unlock gives an error. On win 10 here. That link is incomplete?
ETA: I ended up using a tool and setting it to pixel/ pixel xl and it worked but its all for not, I think I'm returning the phone. I just am not happy with the way the face unlock works with ambient display, it ends up unlocking the phone when I just want to check my notifications lol. C'est la vie!

TWRP on the P4a?

I was wondering if anyone knew about the partition schemes and whether there is enough room on the boot image to install custom recovery on the P4a?
The Pixel 3A did not have enough room on the RAM disk on the boot image. So installing TWRP, even a stripped down version compressed, on the P3a was a no-go.
Custom recovery was not necessary on the P3a. Just having and unlocked bootloader and root via Magisk gives a lot of options including custom ROMs.
However, I'm still curious if custom recovery will ever come to the P4a?

I know, it looks like TWRP has been doing a long slow death spiral.
We have TWRP on Android 10 for the Pixel C tablet. But of course among other things, there's no A/B partitions and Google abandoned support for the device a while ago.

Might be a while, pixel 3+ devices haven't had a 100% working TWRP for a long time.
They can still sideload ROMs and patch boot images with adb/fastboot
I'll miss this moving on from my 2xl. Nice to flash and update things without needing a PC

Someone correct me if I am wrong but there are no factory images yet for the 4a so no rooting with Magisk until then?

Is it at least possible to unlock the bootloader right away? Is that just standard fastboot ADB procedure or is there something Pixel specific(first one)

Just unlocked my Pixel4a using the standard ADB commands. Will say that OEM Unlocking stayed grayed out, until I connected to my WiFi (No SIM) and let the phone connect to the mother-ship.

yea i believe you are correct, i think same steps for the pix4 can be applied on the 4a https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-root-magisk/
im not sure if there are other ways to get the boot img but id rather just wait for the factory images to release & mess with it then. gonna make a cronjob script to watch / notify me once its up.

If I get around to it this weekend, I may just do a rom dump to extract the boot.img. Haven't done it in a while. I'm still waiting for some screen protectors to arrive before I mess with my phone.

I can't find them either.

Isn't Android 11 going to make it more difficult to hide root anymore? I am tempted to root, but heard (or read) somewhere that with android 11 that it may not be worth it as any app (or something like that) will be able to see and not work.

This is the first phone I've owned that I think I'll be satisfied with stock. Ad guard does everything I need as ad away did. And it doesn't need root. Everything is fast! Now I don't have to hack Google pay.

ADB and 8T

Okay... I've been searching all over the net for this problem and I keep getting posts that skirt the issue. At least, that's what it seems. So I will begin and you can decide... and thanks for whatever info you can throw my way.
Brand new OnePlus 8T. I want to root it. Duh. So, Got the Tiny ADB and Fastboot package and all the rest, but the issue is with unlocking the bootloader. Other problems may appear later, but this is the issue now.
So, connect phone to PC (Windows 8.1) and the only way that ABD recognizes my phone is when the USB prefs are set to 'No Data Transfer". Yes, I have installed the proper drivers from the phone. So, when the 'No Data Transfer' is selected, ADB recognizes the phone and will issue the command, ABD Reboot Bootloader and the phone reboots to the bootloader. Nice! Unfortunately, it appears that once the phone has booted to the bootloader, it has changed the USB Prefs and now ADB and fastboot do not see the phone. Obviously this sucks. And here is the problem. As far as I know, I have ticked off on all the proper settings. USB Debugging, etc. No joy!
I found a post elsewhere that showed how to set the default USB mode and that didn't work either. My experience has been that ADB used to see the phone under the 'File Transfer' and PTP options before, but it doesn't now. I can't explain this.
So, pretty frustrated. This shouldn't be so bloody difficult. It's only a couple of commands and I have done this with other phones in the past so it's not like I have no previous experience. But I have already wasted way too much time here this go around. Anyone have an answer? I'll be your best friend!!
Thanks all..

to root my 8T, but it appears that this fellow was missing some info? I take it ya can't just flash twrp to recovery like usual. The picture is slowly coming together.. much more complex than the last few times I have rooted phones.
So I assume that flashing twrp writes over the stock recovery.. and that leads to this crashdump mode popping up. To fix this, I will need the stock recovery.img and flash that back into place? Feel free to chime in and thanks in advance!

Flashing TWRP doesn't cause CrashDumps. They happen when you try to boot the system and something's not right.
You could try changing slots and then rebooting. That sometimes works (depending on what else you've done). You can do this in either TWRP or bootloader.
PS: if you use the reply button, then I'll be advised that you've posted a reply. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the next time I look to see if there's new posts in a thread.

If they could fix the interminable start up time for TWRP that would be brilliant. But I believe the problem is with a file system check rather than the actual decryption which is quite fast.
Sorry, croquettes and mash aren't in my menu. But empanadas - absolutely!

Sorry, I had to leave this for a day or so, but I am back. BillGoss, looking at the guide I posted a link to earlier, would you say that guide is acceptable or are there issues with it? Theoretically that is? And does it depend on what build you are using?
Or if you know of a better process and files, please feel free to point me at it.
Many thanks

Sorry, I have no interest in checking out non-XDA guides. We have enough (too many?) of them on XDA as it is.

Thanks anyway..

Root FR (sorry a'm frenche, and better explain to me.)

Actually a trick you can use is in twrp if you have the magisk APK change the ext to zip and install in twrp it patches the boot img for you in right slot so you don't have to pull img from phone
