N1 Windows Drivers problems

Hello,
After few months with my n1, finally I decide to root and put some roms.
Even when I already have done with my magic, tatoo, and hero, I can´t handle the driver problems in my nexus one.
I could unlock the bootloader. My problems came after this step.
Ive tested few things, but I will put my last experience.
In a just-formatted windows XP sp3, I downloaded the last android SDK and Ive downloaded the usb driver (R3).
After this, I connect my nexus one phone and it asked me for the drivers, I gave the path and it was successfully installed.
I unplugged the USB cable, turn the phone off and restart in debug mode, bootlader. Plug the cable, my PC reconigzed "something", and install some driver. "Unknowledge device". So, I tried to update the driver, giving the path to the USB-driver folder (inside of android-sdk-windows folder). And nothing. It tells me that there is not a better driver for my device. And I can´t connect to my phone. Of course Ive tried uninstalling the driver and nothing. (always from control panel).
I dont know what to do. Please, give me some suggestion because im totally frustrated.
Thank you

ATT N1's can run CyanogenMod without any real trouble. The commands and guides remain the same as the Tmo N1
THE ONLY CAVEAT IS: YOU CANNOT USE CM 5.0.5.1 or 5.0.5.2 as your initial install base, as these releases were bugged. Use 5.0.5 here
For Nexus' you DO NOT NEED SUPERBOOT and steps are super easy.
Setup ADB/FASTBOOT
Fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-blah-blah.img
Reboot into recovery
NANDROID
WIPE!!!! (if you dont wipe you get boot loops)
Flash CM
Flash Google (optional)
Reboot
Fastboot flash radio radio.img (unnecessary on ATT n1's)

Thank you by your post, it was very usefull and I could change my drivers, so I have access in debug mode to my n1. Even with this, Ive tried to apply the root with modaco´s files, using the original ERE27 pack, but, it just stucks in "copying...".
Maybe the problem is that I was instructed about I should execute the .bat, in bootloader moder (no in fastboot). I have the adb commands with fastboot mode, but, when I do: fastboot devices in bootloader mode, I dont have any device. Maybe the tutorial that I followed its wrong and should I execute directly in fastboot not in bootloader.
Anyway, Ive quoted your post, because when you say that isnt necessary, the instructions of recovery installation, says about its a "pre-requirement"
You can check it in /showthread.php?t=611829 As new user, i cant put the link to the thread of RA recovery, sorry
I dont want to mess with this, because the consequence of bad procedure.
Thank you by your help and patience.

you might want to make sure you're using the main USB ports, not those extension ones or those that are built into PC cases. I used to have the problem with "unrecognised device" because of that.

[GUIDE] Unlock/Lock Nexus S Bootloader

Most of you already know how to perform this procedure, but for those that don't, its simple.
NOTE: Unlocking your bootloader will perform a factory reset
Unlock Bootloader:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type 'adb reboot bootloader'
3. Type 'fastboot oem unlock'
4. Use volume keys to select 'yes, unlock bootloader'
5. Use power button to select option
6. Done!
Lock Bootloader:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type 'adb reboot bootloader'
3. Type 'fastboot oem lock'
4. Done!

Is there an icon, like there was with the padlock on the nexus one, after you unlock it?

On the Nexus S, you can do fastboot oem lock and it's like it never happened.

Where are you getting the Nexus drivers? When I select the USB driver folder in the SDK (fully updated) it just tells me that no drivers were found.

Ha, I just saw this. Great.

[REF] "fastboot oem lock" will lock the device back
at least the bootloader screen shows it can be locked back.
not tried really locked my customized kernel yet.
will update after trying

I can confirm this.

So you can lock the bootloader back after you unlock it? COOL

This is good

If I type fastboot devices I get the "unable to locate componant" error which says "this application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem".

I do have the latest. I don't see any USB drivers in the package but it does show up as an android ADB device. Now I'm trying it on my laptop and it will not find any USB drivers so it's showing up as unknown device.

I found those but those do not seem to work. When the phone is powered on it does show an ADB device but when in fastboot mode the drivers I downloaded do not work. So I need some samsung drivers or something for this?

I have the same problem too. The drivers installed fine for the device in normal mode. But once I go into fastboot, it is displayed as an "Android 1.0", with the yellow icon in the device manager.
Attempting 'fastboot oem unlock' it just stays there waiting for a device...

you need to manually install driver using "have disk".

The part about installing PDAnet does fix the Android 1.0 driver problem, for me anyways. Once you get fastboot working, it seems fine to uninstall the program since it is still working for me.
The latest driver is version 4. You can open up the SDK Manager and download it. Look under available packages (I think that's what its called).

Yes. I've never had the Nexus One before, but the padlock icon did appear once I did the fastboot oem unlock.

So once we have clockwork recovery installed and rooted can we lock the bootloader with no problems?

computer can't find phone in fastboot mode

Hi people
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader to root my nexus s 2.3.3 for 2 days now and have tried everything i can find in all the related threads but my computer wont see the phone when in fastboot mode.
Im getting really fed up as i do not know what to try next.
Anyone had this problem before?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried the PDA.net way to install the drivers for fastboot? Google: PDA net

Yeah I've tried that too but computer does'nt see the phone in fastboot mode so i cannot update the drivers at all.

What do you mean by it cannot see it. Also, what OS are you running? Often times the phone is detected via fastboot when ADB fails (this happens to me all the time).

Hi, when i put the phone in fastboot mode the computer doesnt see the phone in device manager but it does see it when not in fastboot mode. Im running windows 7 64.

Hey man, I had the same issues. It took me a total of 12 hours to root my phone and I tried everything . I was stuck trying to unlock the bootloader for hours. The problem for me was that the driver couldnt be found. I tried the pda net and it kept saying that the drivers were installed. Assuming your using windows, go to devices with the phone plugged in and you should see the device named something different with a yellow exclamation mark..... right click and hit update driver software. Then find the file pdanet and point it to update with that file. If this doesnt work, theres a file in there I believe its called android_usb or android_winusb and you push "have disk" and force install from that file . then it should see your phone. this was the only way i could get it to work was by pushing have disk and pointing it at the actual android 1.0 driver becuase the google usb package didnt have it (at least at the time). Im new to the forum, so bare with me if my directions aren't too great, just thought I'de try to help you out bc it was so frustrating!. Also, here is a good link in the xda forums for you to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875580
also,,,are you getting the "waiting for device" message when you type fastboot oem unlock? these instructions are for if you are experiencing that... Its basically not found becuase there is an android 1.0 driver that you have to force to update. good luck!

Thanks for the replies am now downloading the sdk onto the wifes laptop as hers is win 7 32 so hope there is less issues. fingers crossed.

i did mine with win 7 64 i tried 32 as well but my 64 worked better for me.... i looked at the driver details with my phone plugged in to see what drivers are on there .. you need the wdfcoinstaller , the winusb coinstaller, and the winusb.sys. if you find the device when plugged in to your computer and goto details and then hit update driver and then point it specifically at the android_usb.sys file in the pda net for android folder then it should work. the google drivers thru sdk don't contain this one file and its the one that makes the whole process work. Let me know if this works for you

Have the same drivers installed but computer still doesn't see the phone when in fastboot mode. It worked perfectly on win7 32 on other laptop and I managed to root. still trying to get it to work on win7 64 as this is my main OS.

glad to hear,...just out of curiosity, how did you get it to work on the 32 bit version?? Id like to know for future reference,,, and also are you getting the waiting for device error in fastboot mode?

also, you did make sure to dowload the google usb package and get the right sdk version correct? I cant see any other reason that the phone wouldn't be recognized. I also believe you need usb debugging on

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786 check out this post... VERY good guide and this is what helped me on the 64 bit 7. it sounds like your missing the fastboot driver which allows the computer to see the device in fastboot mode

On win7 32 it was really easy once all the necessary programs and files were downloaded I first connected the phone switched on in normal mode with USB debug on and installed the drivers. Once in fastboot mode the path for the drivers was already there from the previous driver install I just selected the bootloader driver and the rest is history

which one was the bootloader driver? did you get it from the google usb drivers or the pda net ones?

it was the google usb drivers when i went update drivers on my system the path is
C:\android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
Then go to option 'let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer' Which brings up three options:
Android ADB Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Composite ADB Interface
Choose the Android Bootloader Interface hit next and yes to install.

Ok so on my win7 64 system i think that somewhere along the line i installed the wrong driver and broke the link although i can find the device in fastboot mode in devices and printers\unspecified but there it no option to upgrade drivers

If you can see the phone in fastboot what else do you need?

deleted!!!!!!!!!!

I can see it in fastboot mode but not in device manager where it should be.
I can only see it in devices and printers where there are no driver options.

Okay, so put it in fastboot mode and try to run a fastboot devices real quick.

Cannot get past "adb devices" command line

I have followed Heisenbergs instructions to the letter but when I issue the adb devices command it just returns the string "list of devices" and that's it. Fastboot devices doesn't work either.
So I'm stuck at the start. Can anyone help me? From what I can tell I may need drivers but I'm new to this so I don't know.
I can give anyone more info if they need it.

I believe part of the instructions are to install the Platform Tools, which should include drivers. Try running the SDK Manager and updating or installing the drivers again. Also ensure you have USB Debugging ON in your Developer settings and OEM Unlocking enabled. Lastly, tap the notification in your shade about the USB connection (I think it defaults to Charging Only) and change it to various modes. Mine seems to only work on PTP mode. When you run the adb devices command you will need to authorize the connection on the phone end the first time by clicking OK so make sure the screen is on and unlocked so you can see it.
Hope this helps.

Me personally do not get any strings of data returned when im on fastboot
i open CMD, run ADB DEVICES, get message saying the port is opening, and then listing devices... which is empty
but i am able to flash anything i want using fastboot....
try this command and see if it works after that... fastboot reboot-bootloader
it should reboot bootloader for u.. thats a easy way to know its responding to u

Yeah I tried every option. Nothing.
The instructions say the fastboot devices command should return my serial number and it does not.

When booted into the bootloader one it tells me on one line phone LOCKED and on another line says download mode DISABLED.
Don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but I still cannot get a return on the fastboot devices command in order to proceed with the unlock command of "fastboot flashing unlock"

remember that u need latest fastboot for this to work.
did u updated the SDK manager to the latest? i had to do that in order to work for 6P

I had the same issue ,it was down to when I plugged the phone into the PC for the first time,it installed the Google.USB driver ,but it didn't install the driver for the adb interface,I had to download it from Google and install it manually

I also had the same issue, I had an old Clockworkmod generic driver that I was using for my Samsung Galaxy S5 installed.
Go to Device manager (either type it in the start menu, or: right click This PC, click manage, and click device manager), plug in your unlocked Nexus 6P phone and watch for a new item to pop up. If it says android something, uninstall it. I had to uninstall 3 times, then reinstall the drivers from the SDK before it would work.

I used the skipsoft toolkit to install the fb drivers; worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ol-skipsoft-android-toolkit-nexus-6p-t3234159
but like others said, you may have to manually remove any that are already installed in windows, although I think that is one of the options in the toolkit.

[HELP]Device not detecting in fastboot mode

I had installed Moto drivers and also enabled the usb debugging but my my device is not showing in fastboot mode.
Seriously need help.
Thank you.

Just to clarify, when you reboot your device into the bootloader (fastboot), if you type the command 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) in ADB, you get nothing showing up in the device list?
Which Moto drivers are you using, what device do you have and are you issuing the commands via minimal ADB or another ADB command tool?

If you're on Windows 10 with an UEFI firmware, I recall you need to disable driver signature enforcement if you wish to use fastboot. Credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70792544&postcount=2028

This was very helpful. Took me hours to find it but glad I did. On to step 2. lol How I was able to fix not being able to load anything in fastboot was this.
1. I right clicked on the Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi and selected uninstall. Repair did nothing.
2. Rt click view properties of Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi.
3. On the general tab I noticed it was blocked so I unblocked it.
4. Then switched to Compatibility tab.
5. Selected run compatibility mode, any previous version of windows.
--This stops the version checker
6. Hit apply save and ran it.
