I set up sdk and did exactly as all gamers direction say but still having issues with the drivers even after a whole weekend of trying. I then read to vet PDA.net for the drivers and when I go to devices manager I can't see the nexus s .when I go to control panel with the USB plugged in I do see nexus but as I stated will not show up in device manager so I'm not sure if there installed properly. Ive got a Sony laptop with windows 7.

Did you enable USB debugging on your Nexus S (settings -> applications -> development -> usb debugging)

While this is a helpful guide, it has you downloading the Galaxy S drivers and installing them. This is entirely unnecessary.
Why does it have you moving ADB and it's libraries from platform-tools to tools? So that you can add tools into the PATH? They were moved in the SDK a while back, they will live in platform-tools going forward.
If fastboot isn't seeing your device open up android_winusb.inf and add an entry for the Nexus S
Code:
;Nexus S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E20&REV_0100
Feel free to add it under both [Google.NTamd64] and [Google.NTx86]
Yep I made sure USB debugging was enabled. Thanks for support I sure appreciate it going to try as soon as I get home from work.can't wait to be overclocked with some toggle in the drop down.I never had these many problems trying to get the drivers recognized by my PC even after j manually showed my PC exactly were they were.I will definitely post and hope I have this dam problem solved

Usb debugging doesnt matter in bootloader. You connect your phone while in bootloader to install fastboot drivers.

I was having issue with the 32bit drivers for my epic, so I did a google search and I found some updated drivers for the phone. The phone connects fine to my computer when it is on, and until recently also while in download mode. However I do not know what happened after I updated the kernel that it does not recognize my phone when using odin.
The one listed for in the wiki is ver. 1.3.450.0 and the version I found is ver. 1.3.800.0.
I hope that this will help others who have issue with the drivers for there phone. I am on Win7 ultimate as well.

These drivers are NOT new. I've been using them since the day I got my Epic 4G last August. Always thought it was odd people used older ones.
hmmm... wonder if this is why I had issues when I had to start using a different PC, loaded drivers and bunch of stuff didnt work right... using 1.3.8 now, wonder if I was using old ones and didnt notice it switched when I re-downloaded em... I think anyone can edit the wiki.... just add the newer and dont ditch the older in case theyre better... idunno how though. Would be good to be added to the stickys for rooting etc, as they seem to be much more widely used... most people see the specs of the phone on the wiki top page and go 'this is useless, move on...'
Well I these new drivers help you out good luck

If you have windows installed you just boot to the ubuntu cd and go through the setup. It will give you the option to resize the drive to make a partition for Ubuntu. Pick a size and go through the install. Once it is done when you boot you will have the option to boot from Windows or Ubuntu. If I remember right it will default to Ubuntu if you don't make a choice within the defined time. You can edit Grub to change that. You can do this to change it to windows if you prefer http://www.hackourlife.com/change-default-boot-order-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/.

First, this is my first thread on xda, I have been using it for years, but only just registered today!
I have followed several different meathods to root the Transformers On ICS, and just recently rooted my original transformer using viper root.
I realize this isn't necessarily "needed", but using viper root, I have put together a simple gui to make it a one click root. This will work on both transformers running ice cream sandwich.
This wont flash CWM, but it will install Superuser and busybox.
Here's a link to viperboy's viperRoot, please support him before you support me! LINK
Here's the download for my root, its called tfRoot: View attachment tfRoot.zip
So do you run this on the actual transformer or is it for the PC and you just made it look nicer?

Edit: I see its a very small exe file inside the zip. So its not for running on the tablet

So it means you failed to see the devices using "adb devices" command?
I also have an Arch machine, and the way to make adb recognize my android devices in Linux is to add USB ID from specific vendor (Asus in this case). You can try to add that (follow instruction from Google android sdk set up) and try again in your Ubuntu machine. If it still doesn't work then it's very weird...most probably hardware issue

Update Soon
I plan on posting an update for this within (hopefully) the next couple of days. The update will fix several bugs, correctly copy su to /xbin (something vipermod doesn't even do!), and add the option to install RecoveryInstaller.apk, so you can flash the clockworkmod recovery as well!
Also, I didn't realize how many people would want a Unix/Linux version! Vipermod still works for those platforms, but If you want, I can put something together (mac/Unix will take longer, as I don't own a mac, making development harder)!
Let me know if there is still interest in a Unix/Linus version!

Hey guys I know I have posted some other similar programs, but hopefully this will raise the bar on how people use Android Debug Bridge.
So To start off, this program will not root any phone, but can easily break a phone if used improperly.
Secondly, If you need to ask what a button in the program THEN DO NOT USE IT!
I will only answer questions if they involve drivers or programming bugs, NOT for something like "What is Sync?" because If you do not know, then you do not need to know now.
SEE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE RECENT UPDATES!
This program has some built in ADB functions:
Rebooting- Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot.
Sync from a folder (If you don't know or have to ask do not use!)
Use logcat
Start up a shell instance (With root if possible.)
Remount (Needs root also)
Flash(Recovery/Boot.img)
Root SOME devices(Using Bin4ry Script Credit to him)
Auto Download Root script
adb shell built in now
cmd shell built in
automatic updates
push files
install apks
get misc system information
Download ODIN for Samsung devices
Detect HTC device correctly for once lol
Application Manager
ADB Learning Center (Under Construction but not beta)
4.0-4.3 Backup Manager (Using adb backup NOT Nandroid)
0Nandroid intergration
Build.PROP veiwer (Soon to be editor too!)
Free device ram and kill background process
MORE TO COME!
___________________________________________________________________
Also a BIG thing for this program is the ability to install ADB and Fastboot into Windows as a command in Command Prompt.
This would allow one to use adb as a normal command from CMD.
E.G "C:\Users\Lab\>adb shell"
Instead of having to CD to C:\android\and all that.
Download the program: Version 5.0.2.26:New Download link[/COLOR]
As far as the newest huge feature in ADBGUI goes, the Application Manager is to be considered Pre-beta and should be used with extreme caution.
Requirements for the Application Manager:
> You need root
> It only works with 3rd Party (Downloaded from google play or other source)
> It does not work with all devices and has some major bugs.
Come on guys give some feed back!
Well enjoy!
Have questions or maybe want to report an issue?
Check out my Discussions Forum here otherwise you can post here at XDA Forums
About ClickOnce:
The core principle of ClickOnce is to ease the deployment of Windows applications. In addition, ClickOnce aims to solve three other problems with conventional deployment models: the difficulty in updating a deployed application, the impact of an application on the user's computer, and the need for administrator permissions to install applications.
ClickOnce-deployed applications are considered 'low impact', in that they are installed per-user, not per-machine. No administrator privileges are required to install one of these applications. Each ClickOnce application is isolated from the other. This means one ClickOnce application is not able to 'break' another. ClickOnce employs Code Access Security (CAS) to ensure that system functions cannot be called by a ClickOnce application from the web, ensuring the security of data and the client system in general.
Some other thinks about ClickOnce:
My ClickOnce application is personally signed, so windows will tell you the publisher is "Unknown" but that is OK. It will install just fine.
[UPDATE Nov. 21st 2013]
Hey guys!!
Just wanted to share some news for all you linux users!
I will be starting a linux conversion for ADBGUI to be fully compatible with Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Linux Distros!
Details: Click Here!

Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 using multirom.
It all went well and works well if you use a mouse with an OTG cable, I understand it was meant for developers but has anyone been able to install the tegra 3 drivers and keep unity/taskbar working?
When I install the drivers and reboot, it boots up and looks better but doesn't have unity or the taskbar. I can get into terminal with a keyboard and pretty much everything can open but its not exactly usable this way.
Thanks.

Which Tegra 3 drivers are you talking about? Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7 should already come with all the drivers it needs.
Its very slow and doesn't play videos, only sound. Also, in "about this computer" or something like that, none of the hardware or even the devices name is recognized. Here's a link to it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/nvidia-tegra3/16.0-0ubuntu3

Yes, those drivers are already included in Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7. They do have issues though (lots of screen tearing). Playing video shouldn't be a problem though if you have the right codecs installed.

Yes that's normal. Canonical ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7 solely to test it and optimize it for low-spec devices. They didn't do a whole lot to polish it up and make it presentable for end users because that wasn't really their goal
Oh, let me offtop a little.
Is there any "easy" way to try out Ubuntu on grouper? I mean easy like flashing zip in recovery and then restore back to android...

Yeah man. Multirom is an app made for nexus devices that let's you multiboot ROM and distros. I've got cm11, ubunut and active plasma installed right now. Just read the how to's on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403 and download the Ubuntu 13.04 from that page. If you want a few other distros for multirom get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797. It really is the easiest way to actually dual boot. And the dev is amazingly helpful. Don't hesitate to report a bug to him.
