[Q] Extreme Driver Fail

Hello Everyone,
----------------------------
Nexus 7 Driver Fail
----------------------------
I was Unable to install drivers on Windows XP (ADB and Fastboot Drivers do not load). Every step has failed and multiple drivers fail to install with Code 18 and 28. I’ve tried just about EVERY Tool Kit available out there and searched fourms, still no positive results. If anyone out there may have an answer please feel free to drop it in here, I greatly appreciate all your help. Thank you.
Here is a list of what I have done thus far:
- Rebooted the computer after uninstalling devices with USB Deview before
continuing on to the other steps
- Uninstalling and manually deleting driver from the registry
- Unplugging and repluging the device while watching
the device manager (The device shows up as other devices, Example: nexus and MTP)
- I tried disabling auto driver configuration by Simply pressing the "Disable Auto Driver Config" button and then
changing the settings accordingly
- Registry cleaning
- Removing and manually adding to windows driver folder
- Trying on different User accounts from Admin to guest
- Used Android SDK manual driver installation
- Unplugged the device and Launched USBDevice
- Used USBDeview to uninstall any;
- Android ADB Interface device's
- Samsung USB devices
- Google USB drivers
- ANYTHING else you see that resembles your Nexus.
- Looked for devices with Vendor ID's:"18d1"or"04e8"
I then right clicked these devices, and selected the option to” Uninstall Selected Devices"
-Downloaded The official Asus USB driver off of Asus actual support base
And it said the following: an error occurred during the installation of this device The Parameter is incorrect.
Have I missed this action:
Download the drivers from Asus and unpack them to their own directory.
Connect the N7 with USB debugging enabled in "developer options"
Open Device Manager
Locate the N7
(from here my xp knowledge is rusty)
Right click on the N7 and select properties
Find the option to install/update drivers, Take the option to specify the driver directory where you unpacked the download, ensure that include sub directories is ticked and that should install

Fastboot Drivers Windows 8.1 [FIX] x64

Yes, so we all have got the latest and greatest of all windows. But does it come with problems to your rooted phone? Yes it does!
While you connect your rooted unlocked phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, It will likely show a “Windows USB Device (Device failed enumeration)” error if you go upto Device Manager. I’ve made a step-by-step guide for a little fix which I found working on Intel Machine with USB 3.0. I don’t know whether it will work for any other machine so try it at your own risk.
Install your default device drivers (For HTC, Install the HTC Sync Manager, For Sony, Use the ones you got in flashtool, etc)
If you are using Windows 8.1, use this for HTC drivers.
*NOTE* The instructions from Step 2-6 are only for machines with an Intel eXtensible Host Controller. Look for the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers in Device Manager.
Download Intel Official Drivers from the following link. Extract the zip file to a known location.
Download the following 2 files which have been modified to work on Windows 8 & 8.1
File 1
File 2
Now we are going to replace these two files which you have downloaded with the original ones. Copy the two files, and head over to the following directory in the zip file you extracted in Step 2.
“Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver\Drivers\Win7\x64″
Copy the two files here. Accept any warning which shows by hitting ‘Replace’
Now we have to disable the default Driver Signing enforcement which Microsoft has inbuilt into Windows 8 and 8.1. To do so You have to do the following
Press Windows Key + R (or go to Run)
Type “shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00″
Go to Troubleshoot –> Advanced options –> Start Up Settings –> Restart
After a computer soft reboot, hit Option 7 (Disable driver signature enforcement)
Restart your PC
When the Windows starts, go to run, and type “devmgmt.msc” and hit enter.
[showmyads]
Go to Universal Serial busses at the end and double click “Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible controller”. Click on Drivers in the New window which opens.
You should see that the Drivers are provided by Microsoft.

}
Now click “Update Driver” and then select “Browse my computer for driver software”. Next choose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer” and select “Have Disk”.
In the Window that pops up titled “Install From Disk” choose “Browse” and navigate to the location where we replace the original inf’s with the two modified .inf files. Select iusb3xhc.inf and click ok.
Ignore all warnings and install the drivers.
After installing, Reboot the computer with the same procedure as Step 6 & 7.
On opening the device manager, you should see an Unknown device. If you already had one before, you need to cross-check every unknown device to find the one we need.
Double click each such device and go to the 3rd tab “Details”. Find the Value “VID_8086″
After finding the correct device, choose “Update Driver” then click “Browse my computer”, Windows will ask you to identify the type of device, scroll down and select “Universal Serial Bus Devices”.
Click next, choose “Have Disk”, “Browse” and select the modified iusb3hub.inf that we placed in the same folder earlier. Ignore all warnings and install the drivers.
[showmyads]
Restart the computer normally and look at the driver tab for the “Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller” and the “Intel(R) USB 3.0 Root Hub” to confirm that you are now running the Intel drivers instead of the Microsoft ones.
You are now done. Try checking to see if the fastboot drivers works for you or not!
Happy Flashing!

Just a note, that Development section should only contain projects made by by you for Android phones. This fits better in General section.
Well, will try now, I have this problem so that I can try new rom
For those without USB 3.0 ports or if it doesn't work for you.. just download ubuntu, put it on a USB stick and start it up in live mode, then use this fastboot binary: http://d-h.st/vsJ
No need for drivers or anything, just make sure you use "sudo fastboot" or it won't work.

I wanted to personaly thank you for this method. I use windows 8.1 and have an intel 7 series chipset. 2 weeks ago, suddenly all my usb ports stopped working. I checked device manager, and universal serial bus controller only gave 3 chipset controllers. Also there were 3 other devices: unknown devices. When i checked the details, it were the USB root hubs of 2x 2.0 ports and 1x 3.0 ports. I tried everything until I came to this forum and tried you method for the 3.0 ports and it worked. Now i have access to 2 of my 4 usb ports. I am still not able to use my 2.0 ports. The usb hubs of these ports are not recognised and still under unknown device. Any suggestions on how to get these ports working?
Thanx in advance.

Diagnosing USB Driver and ADB issues in Windows

Are you getting errors like "device not found" or "device offline" while trying to run ADB commands? Here's a quick way to troubleshoot your problem on Windows.
Steps
1. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
2. Verify current Google USB Driver is installed and that Device Manager is using that driver.
3. Update to latest version of ADB.
1. Ensure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
Enable Developer Options by going to Settings -> About Phone and tapping on "Build Number" multiple repeated times. You will be greeted with "You are a developer."
Now, under Settings -> Developer Options, ensure you check the box for "USB debugging."
2. Verify current Google USB Driver is installed and Device Manager is using that driver.
You may skip this step if Device Manager lists your phone as "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface." If it does not, this is likely your root cause.
Go to the Google USB Driver page and download the latest driver directly from Google. Extract the zip file to a folder you know and will remember in the future.
Open up Device Manger in Windows with your Nexus 5 connected. Whatever your Nexus 5 is currently detected as, right click on it and select Properties. Then, in the Driver tab, hit "Uninstall." If available, select "Delete the driver software for this device." and hit "OK." It will remove the old drivers.
Restart your computer.
After restarting, reconnect your Nexus 5. It should be recognized as an unknown device in the Device Manager. (If it isn't, try the previous driver deletion steps again.)
Right click on the unknown Nexus 5 device, choose Properties, and in the Driver tab again select "Update driver." Browse your computer manually by putting in the path to the new Google USB Drivers you unzipped to a folder of your choice in the beginning of this step. Choose next and your drivers should install! You'll know everything completed successfully when you see the phone listed under "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" in Device Manager.
This is the most finicky process, so don't be afraid to reboot your computer a time or two and repeat these steps if they don't work on the first try.
3. Update to latest version of ADB.
This is a crucial step. The new version of ADB is required to work with the "USB debugging authorizations" setting.
Perhaps you know how to update ADB, in which case, just do it. However, here's a detailed manual approach to download JUST the adb suite from the SDK:
Go to the Google Android SDK website and choose "Use An Existing IDE" and click the "Download the SDK Tools for Windows." This will allow you to download only an 80 MB file rather than the whole 400 MB suite.
Install the SDK tools exe to a folder of your choosing.
Run SDK Manager and uncheck everything except for "Android SDK Platform-tools." This is the ADB and Fastboot bundle. Install that.
Navigate to your SDK Path as indicated at the top of your Android SDK Manager window. You will now see a freshly downloaded platform-tools folder containing ADB.exe, Fastboot.exe, and a host of other files. That folder is now your updated, portable ADB tools folder. You can move it anywhere you like as long as you run ADB from a command prompt window set to that directory.
After you've followed these procedures, running "ADB Devices" should trigger a prompt on your device to accept the RSA fingerprint of your computer. Accept it, and now all should be working as intended!

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016, How to connect to a computer (PC)

I had a stroke 4 years ago and haven't used this tablet since, but I have decided put some books on the Samsung, but now I can't remember how to do it.
Could someone please help me.
Martin.
plug in usb cable one end into tablet other end into PC
usb is connected. Maybe the PC is not connected?
Martin.
what OS?
Windows 11 Pro 22H2
ah windows.. then you may need drivers. not sure, but try this..
on tablet, settings - about phone - tap build number (7x) seven times.
settings - developer options - usb - select file transfer (MTP) as default.
settings - developer options - enable usb-debugging (optional for adb).
you should see tablet in windows explorer now.
if not, you can try adb instead (optional)
in windows device manager, find device with yellow triangle exclamation mark -> Properies -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer -> Show all devices -> Have Disk -> select *.inf file

(skip this if drivers are fine)
download platform tools and check 'adb devices' from C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. if you can see tablet serialno, driver is ready for adb file transfer.
Code:
cd %UserProfile%\Desktop\platform-tools
adb devices
adb push path\to\file /sdcard/Download

I tried the first the setting and won't work. It works on the tablet but doesn't on the PC. I'll try the second part.
I'll try the iPad, it's better than nothing. A new version of Windows will get the Samsung running (I tried it) but I have lots of games to play. Thanks for helping me, alecxs.
