To be able to install drivers you have to have your phone booted into fastboot and connected via usb (Thanks to mmas0n)
How to force drivers to install:
Thanks to gravis86
WARNING: SELECTING THE WRONG DRIVER TO A DEVICE MAY BREAK THINGS...
1. Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >Device Manager
2a. NS Right-Click "Android 1.0", and click "Update Driver Software..."
2b. NS4G Right-Click "Nexus s", and click "Update Driver Software..."
3. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
4. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. Click "Have Disk..."
6. Browse to folder containing the driver, then click OK
7. It will show a list of drivers contained in that folder, select the appropriate one, and click next.
8. It might tell you the driver is unsigned / not verified to work / for the wrong device, etc. As long as you are sure it is the correct driver, then install it. Remember, you are smarter than Windows.
How to install ADB and Fastboot:
1. download and place in the root of your C:\ drive
2. extract here (not into a sub folder)
3. now open up control panel
4. find system
5. goto advanced settings
6. goto environmental variables
7. in the box that says "system variables" scroll down to find a variable "Path"
8. highlight it
9. click edit
10. add this to the end
;C:\android\tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes the ; is needed
11. click ok
Now when you open cmd (command prompt) you can use "adb" or "fastboot" anywhere with out locating the folder first
You should be able to do this:

If I have helped you please hit the thanks button

I have followed the directions to the letter and when I type fastboot devices it just goes back to command prompt. I tried typing fastboot oem unlock and it just said waiting on device. Adb devices typed produces "list of devices attached" I boot the phone into fastboot mode and and the usb is plugged in but I keep getting the same results. Am I preparing the phone incorrectly?The adb worked with my Vibrant but the fastboot failed there as well. I would greatly appreciate any and all help you may offer. As I am sure you can tell I am another one of those ignorant nubies.LOL

have you installed the usb drivers?
you will have to force them to install

Yes I have. adb works with my Vibrant but fastboot does not and neither one works with the Nexus s. I have read and reread and followed directions but nothing seems to work. Should I be looking to do something on the phone other than booting into fastboot mode? The Nexus S shows fastboot mode at the top of the screen and I have assumed that I just use the computer from there. On my Vibrant booting into recovery does not show anything about fastboot. I really do appreciate your help I am trying very hard to learn quickly so I can be of some help instead of a burden
I don't know how to force them to install. I went in an opened the folder and I assume they were installed. I do have usb debugging enabled
Edit Just copied usb drivers to C:\android and c:\android/tools and still the same results. I have done everything I can think of but i guess I am not getting the drivers installed properly.

to force them, go into control panel-> administrator tools->computer management
then goto device manager in the sidebar.
I cant remember what the device is called but you should know when you find it.
right click and hit update drivers.
hit browse for drivers and find the drivers in C:\android\google-usb_driver
Note: phone has to be in fastboot to be able to install the drivers
edit: I forgot the drivers opps

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/

I just downloaded the drivers and placed them in C:\android and then went into device manager and hit update drivers and then browse for drivers and it said no drivers found. I was in C:\android/google-usb drivers.

have a look in the post above i just posted a link to a vid
edit: are you using 64-bit?

no 32 bit I will look for the video. Thanks so much for your kind and patient help!!!

I think there is a trick in the video to get it to see the device in fastboot
edit: there are some drivers here
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

there is no video but I did read the directions and I believe I have done all that they state. Should my PC say installing drivers when I plug my phone in? It did and said one driver failed to install.

yea.
If you don't see a video (at the top) disable ad blocking
also the driver that failed try to force it (using previous method)
If anybody could help that would be great, then I will add it to the first post

Followed this guide and unlocked and rooted my friends Nexus S.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/

@shaolinmastr well that's good to hear

I still have no success installing the drivers. Are you sure that the drivers were in the last zip file? I have gone over and over it for the last 6 hours and am at the same place I started. NO adb and no fastboot on the Nexus S and adb working on Vibrant.but no fastboot . I guess it is time to take the Nexus S back and get a refund. It is not worth the lack of results with so much effort. Thanks for you help.

Save yourselfs the hassle and just install PDAnet and you should get the drivers to work.

I was having this same problem and used pdanet to get the correct nexus s drivers. You can dload pdanet to your PC and just plug your phone in via USB andfollow the directions.

So tmello56, pdanet worked for you?
If so I will extract the drivers and add them to the first post

WARNING: SELECTING THE WRONG DRIVER TO A DEVICE MAY BREAK THINGS...
Sometimes Windows needs to be forced to use a driver that we know works, but Windows thinks doesn't. This is similar to what mazodude posted, but is just a few steps further. To do this:
1. Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >Device Manager
2. Right-Click "Unknown Device" or whatever it's called, and click "Update Driver Software..."
3. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
4. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. Click "Have Disk..."
6. Browse to folder containing the driver, then click OK
7. It will show a list of drivers contained in that folder, select the appropriate one, and click next.
8. It might tell you the driver is unsigned / not verified to work / for the wrong device, etc. As long as you are sure it is the correct driver, then install it. Remember, you are smarter than Windows.
9. WIN!!!

@gravis86, very good explination will post in 1st post

Just wanted to post my results...
I was using the correct drivers, but was installing them while the phone was booted and connected. I could use ADB and mount the file system, but could not use fastboot. I then discovered that if I installed the drivers while the phone was booted into the bootloader and connected, it detected the device differently and fastboot worked.
Now rooted + custom recovery. Awesome.

[GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting!

[GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting! v1.2
Hey XDAers. Getting ADB setup and working is an essential part to rooting your Android device and helps layout the foundations to better understanding the language and using it in this environment. While not going into extreme detail, this is just a quick guide or overview on the first part of rooting; Getting ADB setup and working.
** Make sure your Transformer is not currently connected to your PC yet. We will be installing device drivers first (Step 7) and modify a setting on your tablet first before connecting to your PC (Step 8).
Step 1 :
Download and install the Android SDK.
You can download the SDK from the Google Developer's website. I have linked for you the download page and a direct link to the installer (Note: the direct link may change in the future with future versions, I will try stay on top of this and change the link)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r10-windows.exe
*New Version : http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r11-windows.exe
You may or may not be prompted to install the latest version of Java if you haven't done so already, install it, and you may or may not have to reboot your computer.
Step 2 :
Once the install is complete, navigate to the directory in which you installed the SDK and launch the SDK Manager executable. It may or may not ask you to download and install the Java JDK, do so if you haven't already.
*When I run the android SDK installer it tells me I don't have the java JDK installed, even though I've installed it already*
Answer :
It says that but disregard it. If you've installed it, it should be fine. When it gets to the part that says its not installed and won't let you go any further simply click back then click forward again and it should allow you to go ahead.
Thanks Crimton!

Step 3:
Once the SDK Manager is launched, it will look something similar to the window below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will want to do something along the lines of update all or install all. This way it will download all the latest packages and you willhave the latest SDK tools installed.
Once that is complete, you can exit out of the SDK Manager.
Step 4:
Open up a command prompt window. You can do so by holding the WinKey+R, a run window will appear, type CMD, and hit enter.
Step 6:
Within the Command Prompt window, navigate to the Android SDK folder\platform tools folder (Command Prompt command : CD foldername\foldername\foldername\etc)
Step 7:
Now install the ASUS Sync software if you haven't loaded it previously. http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download. Just select your operating system, hit download, then install.
Why are we installing the ASUS Sync software you ask?
Well mainly because it has USB drivers that will help your PC operating system detect and display your ASUS Transformer. Without the drivers, ADB wouldn't be able to detect your device most likely!
*For other android devices, you will need similar software from that manufacture. HTC Sync for HTC devices as an example.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 8:
Enable USB Debugging on your android device / Transformer.
Go to Transformer Tablet, go to settings -> applications->Development, turn on USB Debugging.
Step 9:
Connect the USB cable from your android device / Transformer to the PC. It will begin to automatically install drivers, let it do so and complete. May ask to reboot machine.
Step 10:
Once that is done, go back to the command prompt. Run ‘ADB Devices’
You should see something like above, indicating it detected the transformer, if not, run the following ‘adb kill-server’, ‘adb start-server’, ‘adb devices’
Ok, if you are seeing something like the screenshot above then success, you have successfully gotten ADB up and working! Congratulations! That wasn't too hard now was it? You can now follow one of the root guides and follow the directions and you should be on your way to a fully rooted device. Cheers!
-------
Troubleshooting:
In the event you complete the steps above but your computer either will not recogonize the Transformer in Windows as a device, or ADB will not see it please try the following to see if this will fix it for you. You only need to try these if the above steps aren't working for you, but most people, they work fine.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html

Notes:
-If you want another guide on something else, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
-Yes this has been posted a million times I know, but I thought this might help out those few people that don't feel like looking around. Plus, it has nice color illustrations. Who doesn't like picture books?

Nice job. Added to ultimate thread. Probably a good idea to attach the pics in your post to the XDA forums, so they are saved in future, as a lot that are hosted on other sites die after too many people view them.

Very simple and easy to follow. Thanks OP.

I download Asus sync for window 7 64bits but when I run asus, it doesn't detect my device and of course ADB devices didn't show up any device. Something I missed? Please?

Sorry to hear that. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what could be causing this. But here are a couple things you can try. And please let us know what happens next.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html

I have a few questions. This is the first real time I'm using ADB.
So I have tried everything you listed above and I can get it to sync on occasion, but I cannot get it to read my device in the command prompt. I type this "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices" and it says "The device is not ready." Why is it not finding it even with it syncing at that moment?
Also, do you type "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>" every time you run something? If so, is there a way to get that to show up beforehand every time instead of having to type it? Thanks again for your help!

1) First thing you can try is the famous 'adb kill-server' 'adb start-server' commands and see if that will get it going. Also 'adb usb' will restart the daemon listening on USB, so maybe that could make it usable. If not, make sure the ASUS Sync app is not running, and perhaps see if there are any running services/apps on your Transformer that could be causing the conflict. Download System Panel Lite from Market and tell it to end all apps, then try again (make sure USB Debugging is enabled)
If you tried all of that, and still no dice, make sure no USB Drives or Memory Cards are connected, then connect the Transformer (w/ USB Debugging), go to Device Manager, uninstall the USB drivers for the device if you can find it or it may show up as a USB Mass Storage device under USB Controllers, then disconnect the Transformer, reconnect the Transformer, it should reinstall the drivers for the Transformer since you already have ASUS Sync installed, then retry.
If again still no dice, try using the ASUS USB Windows Drivers and going to Device Manager and updating the drivers with those you downloaded (download the correct ones for your particular operating system, and then try again.
Now, if this still doesn't work, let me know, and I'll try think of something else. Maybe someone else has had this issue and come up with a workaround or solution, but I'm drawing a blank currently. I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of anything else
2) You don't have to type that up all the time. What you can do is navigate the platform tools folder (or whatever folder has the adb files), then if on Win 7, hold shift and right click on the folder (Platform Tools for example), and you will see an Open Command Prompt here. Hit that, and it will already be in that root folder. But in general, in a command prompt window, once you have navigate to the specified folder, you will be in that folder, so you will only need to type ADB 'command' if that makes sense.
[/LIST]

I think I might have figured it out, if this is it. So I downloaded the drivers but I don't think they ever installed. Don't laugh lol, how do you install them? There isn't a .exe file or anything to install them.. I just see files and notes. Do I put it somewhere or what do I do with the 3 files and readme file?
I think that might fix my problem...I hope.. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!
EDIT: I think I got the drivers and it still can't find it. :/ I think I'm going to take a break on rooting for a few. ADB is a pain! lol. I might just wait for an easier method or just not root it. We'll see. Thanks again.

If you get a chance, try this on a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine that you haven't connected the Transformer too yet, and follow the guide exactly, and I'm pretty sure it will work without a problem I'm just thinking something has happened when it loaded up the drivers for you initially and that is why you are having the issues, or some background process on either Windows or the Transformer is making the device seem "busy", thus giving you the not ready error, as this process has worked for many many other users.

I was just thinking about it. Maybe I can try that on my downstairs computer. Ill give it a shot Sunday night and see how it goes...ill let you know...

[GUIDE] Noob's Guide to setting up ADB

How to get working ADB-- The Expedient method
Since the release of the mtd ROMS the importance of being able to use ADB has greatly increased. This guide is designed to produce a working adb evironment in windows. It is designed be as simple as possible and to avoid command line as much as possible. This guide is not targeted towards advanced users who can set up a working adb environment on their own. If you can setup adb from Google's packages, please avert your eyes and read no further -- this guide will only bring out the elitist snob in you.
If you are still with me you have likely tried to set up adb and failed. Perhaps you have a bootloop in an mtd (cm7, miui, OMFGB) ROM and are trying to avoid losing everything with an Odin flash. Perhaps you are trying to troubleshoot in another way. Regardless, this guide will get you going.
Step 1: Install USB drivers.
A) If you are using a Touchwiz based ROM (COMROM, Evil Fascinate) you will need the Samsung Fascinate driver.
B) If you are using a MTD based ROM (ICS, CM7, MIUI, OMFGB) you will need to use the Nexus S drivers.
Step 2: After you install the appropriate driver, put your Fascinate into Debugging Mode by:
Gingerbread: Settings->Applications->Development then checking Debugging Mode.
ICS: debugging mode is found System Setting>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
Step 3: Connect your phone to your computer and open up Device Manager.
Step 4: DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. You will see Fascinate/Nexus S with possibly an exclamation mark, just double-click on it, Update Driver->Browse my computer for driver software->ADB Interface then choose Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, then choose Samsung Android ADB Device.
Step 5: Download and install Droid Explorer. Please select the appropriate build for your PC architecture. Be sure to select "Set up the Android SDK For Me" during the setup.
Step 6: Launch Droid Explorer and select your phone.
To send ADB commands click the button in the red box in the image below.
To view logcats click the button in the blue box below.
Step 7: How to use Droid Explorer

Troubleshooting example:
You are on AOKP and set a bad overclock as boot settings. 3-fingering is a no-no and you get frozen during boot or a bootloop before entering the OS and therefore can't reach recovery. To get into recovery click the button in the red rectangle. Then type "reboot recovery" at any time during the phone boot process and press enter. Your phone should reboot and you should end up in recovery. Success!

I have a fully Functional adb, android skd, java, eclipse, all the stuff needed for a proper build environment, and I still use Droid explorer and Android Commander, for some things. Once you get used to these programs they are very useful especially for a simple app swap or adding an app to your system file. Good of you to share the process with others.

Nice guide, would have been easier than setting up a full adb environment on my work pc in addition to my home pc. Where was this 6 months ago?

Dude thank you so much for that nexus driver. I have not been able to get my ADB to work until now with that driver. Every other one I got wouldn't work and no one really could help me. Just kept saying install driver. Now ADB finally works. The Droid Explorer program is pretty cool too. Thanks very much!!

I've edited the guide a bit to make it easier to follow. This should be the final version of it unless someone has an issue or suggestion. I'm glad this has helped some folks and I hope it will continue to do so.

ok somethings wrong because i have followed every freaking guide there is including the wiki for cyanogenmod and this one and adb is still "not a valid command" or whatever in the command prompt......freaking hell
**now all of a sudden it's kinda working, if i choose reboot into recovery from the application it just reboots the phone, not into recovery.....and if i choose the log icon it says it cant connect to device even though the device is clearly shown as connected in the main screen......sheesh
THANK YOU MAKE THIS STICKY NOW OR I WILL PUNCH BABIES

I have a different but similar issue. It sees my device when connected and disconnected but I can't do anything. If I choose reboot it rebooted. If I choose reboot recovery it just rebooted, no recovery. I can see the devices tree directory but if I try to access any of them I get an error. Also if I click the logcat button it opens the terminal window but has an error, says it can't connect or something. If I click on the terminal button it opens the terminal but no commands are recognized. But when I connect and disconnect my device it shows up and in device manager there are no errors.

Hmm are you sure that the USB cable you are using is still good? will it mount for data transfer?
Also, this generally shouldn't be necessary but it is possible that something is messed up in your PC USB install. At one point I had to clear off and reinstall all of my USB drivers. Everything worked fine after the drivers reinstalled.
There's a lot of places where errors come in. I'd like to try and figure out your guys' problem(s) so that I can update the guide and potentially save other people some time.

I just set up adb on my arch linux box, I think it was easier to set up this vs windows.

Probably. But that requires you to have a linux box setup and handy; which many people do not have.

Well you can always dual boot your computer. I have windows 7 and arch linux set up. I'm usually on linux but I still have software that I use on windows, so that's why I kept it.

My USB cable is fine. Went back uninstalled the drivers and explorer. Downloaded fresh copies of both and same thing????
Giving up for now. In the event of a crash I can Odin back,rebuild,restore apps, etc. in about an hour. Less time than I have spent trying to get this to work! LOL. For now I'm back on the stock CM7 kernel and not doing any tweaking that might cause a crash. All is good thanks guys.

sfobrien: Sorry I couldn't get thisto work for you.
jamesandmandy: Did you ever flash anything in red recovery? Are you able to get into blue recovery by the normal method? Your issue sounds like something on the phone recovery end if You are able to send commands to it successfully over adb.

Hey no problem. I think it is some kind of glitch between Windows 7 and the explorer program. CM7 is an awesome upgrade so no complaints here.

Thanks for this. I've always avoided adb because it seemed to complicated to setup/learn. I'm up and running.

[Q] SGS5 Not recognized by PC!

Whenever I connect my phone to my computer via USB, it says "USB Device not recognized". I look in my device manager and I see 4 devices come up called "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" show up under "Other devices", yet they got yellow warning symbols next to them.
My phone connects to my PC via Bluetooth fine, but the USB just wont work! I've searched the web but most things are outdated or just don't work...
I think this is due to using an OTG cable, making my phone act as the host device whenever I plug it in?
Extra detail:
-PC is running Windows 7 ultimate x64
-Samsung Galaxy S5 is on Android 5.0, but didn't work on previous versions either
-I use the samsung cable, but have also tried one other cable.
-Tried plugging it into another computer, does the exact same thing.

Install Samsung drivers / KIES3

Have a look at this post I put up for someone with a similar problem to you, see if it helps, you need to use the USB cable that came with the phone, others will work but a lot don't work properly

Thank you for the great help, I think that this is what needs to be done to fix it. There is still one problem though.
I have tried this before, but I ran into a problem where it would do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, it wont let me use the driver, saying that there is a "code 10" and that the driver wont start. I think that if I can get through this error, my phone will finally connect

Try these options,
1. Control Panel > Devices & Printers then plug in your phone and you should get an Unknown Device appear, right click on it and select Troubleshoot and run that process to see if that sorts out the problem.
2. Start your computer in safe mode then try installing the driver manually that way, then reboot your PC normally.
Registry solution if you want to try it as long as you understand Windows Registry
1. Go to the Registry Editor click Start > Run > and type in regedit then hit Enter
2. Expand the folder location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\
3. Find EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A in the folder list and click on it, this should say Portable Devices in the right window
4. See if it contains a value called UpperFilters if so delete it
5. Before you delete it though make a backup of the EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A folder, right click on it and Export to a folder just in case you need to restore it.
6. To restore the key if you need to just go to the folder where you exported it to and click on it to install

Sorry for the late reply, ive been busy.
There is no UpperFilters value, and unfortunately the troubleshoot didnt resolve the problem.

You are having a problem with this aren't you.
If you have Kies installed uninstall it also plug in your phone and find it in the list of USB Devices, then right click select properties and uninstall the driver, unplug the phone and reboot your PC.
Once rebooted Temporarily turn off any firewalls and Anti Virus scanners and try the below
Install Kies 3, start Kies and check for updates, if there are any updates then install them.
Restart Kies 3 after any update, once its running plug in your phone and let the drivers install
If its worked properly Kies will see it, if not then check the USB devices and try to install the driver manually again
Don't forget to use the USB cable that came with the phone

I have run out of suggestions, your PC is just being difficult, I tried googling the problem but nothing really helpful there, but I did find this Link and a few people said it sorted it for them, have a look the solution for them was the links in post 18

Take the original USB cable as well so they can try another one against yours just in case it a faulty cable

problem with the adb interface driver (install/uninstall drivers)

hi,
im having issues installing drivers for my oneplus 2 device.
here's what i've tried doing:
iv'e tried connecting the device with usb debugging and without. without usb debugging it finds the name of the device normally.
the first thing i've done is uninstall every driver that was resembled any phone, google or usb storage driver.
and tried to install the drivers from this tool: (which i think is the source of my problem i dont know how to remove this.)
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it went ok with no problems, but it didn't find my device. (when i typed adb devices)
i've uninstalled the drivers again via programs and features and usbdeview tool (this time i've found older samsung device driver from regedit and removed it also).
rebooted (as every step of driver removal and install).
i've tried again with no luck.
so i've decided to install those drivers from the android sdk but when i've tried to install it from the device manager it shows up this:
i also tried downloading samsung drivers to see if it works. i saw in one of the threads that said it's ok to use them because they were universal too. (i removed it again from the regedit when i couldn't find the drivers)
i tried to use the oneplus one toolkit's for it's universal driver i thought maybe it will work
how can i fix this? i want to start over again clean. i can't find it in USBdeview or programs and features or regedit. what am i missing?
the photos are after trying to install the drivers from the sdk tool and uninstall it back with reboots several times now
+as im seeing in other threads, it supposed to be an android device and not adb interface.
+there is nothing else in the driver selection list that resembles any device
thanks to everyone who helps!
EDIT:
whatever i did i couldn't remove this marshall driver and i really don't know how i got it there. so i decided to format my pc. start over clean.
i've downloaded the sdk tools this time and before connecting my phone to the pc (maybe the windows 10 has to do anything with installing these marshall drivers.) i have installed these drivers from the sdk, rebooted the pc and connected the device. now everything works! the cmd find my device i type "adb reboot" to make sure everything works BUT when i go into fastboot mode (in order to unlock the bootloader)
the pc doesn't recognize the device. it says "android" with an question mark icon near it, ok so i just need to install the driver like in image #1 right? so i did, and it didn't show up this android adb interface driver. instead i've found this marshall driver AGAIN! i went inside it and i'm seeing marshall drivers and google inc drivers INSIDE this marshall driver selection (like image#2)
i really don't know from where this marshall london device is coming from
although setting it up as the marshall device, it works... but it's a marshall device not my oneplus 2
this doesn't make any sense to me. i never owned marshall product, beforehand i guessed it came from the toolkits i installed but this time i went clean and there's no way it came from those toolkits.
if im unclear about anytning im willing to share my teamviewer or screenshots.
this how it looks like:
EDIT2:
Q: what if i decide to ignore that marshall device? because it seems to find the device and im able to reboot from the commands. is it ok? should i ignore the name?

Hi, I used Universal ADB drivers.
I had to manually chose the .inf file with the have disk feature to make it work.

I used the Oneplus two toolbox to install my drivers.
forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-2-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-efs-backup-more.345478
I didn't even bother with the 15 second ADB installer.

've found the problem.
apparently the drivers name was "marshall london device". i accidently clicked on it and there was an option to choose adb interface driver (like the image #2)
EDIT:
well it worked for the first try and it stopped working.
what is marshall london device? it seems to have a bunch of drivers like clockworkmod and marshall composite adb interface

i still don't get what that driver is doing in my pc
i can't install the inf file it tells me it's not supported.

for some retarded reason the usb drivers that i downloaded from google are being installed into marshall device. i don't know why but it's the second time my pc thinks my phone is a marshall device. it works if i type adb reboot, but only once. now i have to delete this marshall thingy that i don't even know how the hell it got there...

anything?
i really need help, i think i've made this problem as clear as possible.

Bump! same problem. This all happened as soon as i installed the latest version of OS. Oxygen 2.1 . Adb worked perfectly before i flashed this new OS. now windows wont read the devices with adb drivers. it keeps saying Marshall London Device.. sigh.. anybody? i tried all the same things in this thread to fix it. I also wiped all drivers using USBDeview and reinstalled to no avail.

before that what did it detect? the device name? or adb interface?
are you running windows 10?
i managed to ignore the name of the driver because like the third image i posted says that inside the marshall driver there is "google inc" and then that the adb driver...
so i think it's windows 10 that's causing this. but i've tried ignoring it and adb commands are working for me. i don't know whether it's safe to unlock and such but i managed to make it reboot into recovery...

I am running windows 10. I tried another computer of mine with windows 7 which worked perfectly before the new OS update. That computer as well cannot detect any ADB devices. I managed to get windows to install the proper ADB Android drivers in windows 10 and 7 now. However, whenever I load One plus 2 into Fastboot Mode windows DOES detect the device but ADB wont connect to it.
I have made sure that i am in debugging mode and that I authorized the connection when prompted. any ideas?
Thank you

Figured out why adb wouldnt connect. Even though usb debugging was on and permissions granted for some reason the Developer Mode toggle was hidden again. I enabled the toggle again, turned off usb debugging mode. Turned it back on 10 seconds later and it all works now. *sigh*

Hi there,
my problem is very similar to this.
Suddenly all my android devices (OPO and OP2) are recognized as marshall london devices.
adb devices finds them but I am not able to get the authorization of my PC showing up on my phones.
adb tells me the device is not authorized.
I tried resetting the usb authorization from the development options, changing usb ports, changing cables, disabling and enabling of usb debugging, mtp mode and such.
Nothing works so far. The google adb drivers show up under the marshall london category like in the first post. It all startet after I rebooted the OP2 in fastboot once.
Any ideas?
Thanks
-howgie
Update:
I was able to get rid of the marshall london entry by removing it from the registry manually. But the problem of the unauthorized device remains...

I am also getting this error, I was able to select google devices before and had adb working but after it unlocked the bootloader and rebooted the phone it wasn't detecting anything correctly, just the marshal london device and adb doesn't detect anything, also on windows 10. Will try tomorrow on my windows 7 work machine.

Same Problem! Please Help!
For some reason "Marshall London Device>Marshall London Bootloader Interface" keeps installing itself every-time I hit Scan for hardware changes, after trying to uninstall it. ADB doesn't recognize my OPT even when my phone is in fastboot mode. Running Windows10

In windows 10 use manual choose driver from list, then choose proper driver.... If you can't find it I'll post screens tomorrow

I have same problems. Have someone found a solution for this?

I deleted all drivers and it says unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I can't get it to install Oneplus2 drivers, Android ADB or Samsung drivers and be recognised.
Again I concur and think this is a Windows 10 issue, I am not using the official cable, are others using it and having the same issue??

I used a different cable and it worked, strange as I tried one unofficial and one official and in the end my new Anker one I just purchased worked okay.
