I can't get the Nexus toolkit to work, it hangs when trying to update the program, throwing the device into Fastboot (device doesn't do anything but the program just sits there indefinitely).
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong to get this thing to work. I'm in USB debug mode.
Use fast boot adb

I plugged my Nexus into my computer(running windows 8) and it was recognized so I thought the drivers were installed but then I got the nexus toolkit and selected unlock bootloader but while I was in fast boot it hangs there saying wait for device... I tried to install the drivers from the toolkit and still it says waiting for device. Any ideas?

Make sure the drivers were installed correctly. I've read some threads past that there was an issue installing the drivers in Windows 8.
Did you turn on USB debugging? Go to the "About Tablet" section in settings and tap on "Build Number" a couple of times. It should say "You are a developer!". This unlocks developer options in the main settings. From here you can enable or disable USB debugging. Try whatever you are doing again and it should (hopefully) work.

same problem here.
I tried to install the ASUS driver on my XP machine. But the installation wizard keeps saying "Parameter is incorrect" or "Cannot start hardware"
Just to be sure, you ARE using the cable which arrived with your Nexus 7 right? Because I used a SGS3 cable and it didn't work though it fit nicely

I had the same problem. Very frustrating. Sounds like you guys need to open the device manager on your PC and uninstall every Google, android, nexus7 or any other phone driver installed.(HTC,samsung) all of them. Also check in USB drivers. Get rid of them.
Reboot your PC.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the nexus.
Power the nexus off. Enter fast boot on the nexus. Power-volume up-down. Connect your nexus to the PC and let the drivers install on their own.
Go back and check your device manager on the PC and look for a yellow exclamation mark on your android, Google, adb or nexus driver installed. Right click it and select updated driver.
Let me know if this helps.

It helped, tnt0303. Thx.
I had same issue. In fast-boot mode it was always giving the yellow exclamation mark. This is what I did to install the drivers.
Device Manger ->Nexus 7(yellow exclamation mark) -> right click -> Update driver ->Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer-> select show all devices->next->Have Disk->browse to folder where you unzip nexus drivers then -> ok ->select Android bootloader drivers
Hope this helps
The past 3 hours or so I've been trying to unlock my nexus 4 bootloader
I've tried using 2 tool kits and also tried doing it manually..
After installing the android SDK and enterin "adb reboot bootloader" I always get Error Device not found.
I tried deleting the drivers but I dont get the option of "Delete the driver for this device" under Device Manager.
I've tested this TWICE on 2 seperate machien, 1 running windows 8 and 1 running windows 7..
USB debug is on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (Running 4.2.2 Stock)
When you enabled USB debugging, did you get a prompt on your phone saying if you trust your computer?
Make sure you navigated to the ADB folder correctly.
Make sure your phone is turned on and not in fast boot.

I've solved the problem! I had to disable this signature windows 8 thing and then i was able to install the drivers.
Mod plz close this thread
Help!! I wiped out my os on my Nexus trying to load a ROM. I can't figure out what to do. If I boot the phone it stays on a screen that says google. Everything I have found so far says to check USB debugging but I can't get to that because the phone doesn't fully boot. Also my computer is not showing my phone in windows explorer but does show a nexus device in devices and printer & device manager. As far as I can figure I have to somehow get the computer to communicate w/the phone and then load an operating system but can't seem to figure out how to do this. I can get to TWRP but find nothing there to help. What ca I do?
You need to use adb to push or side load a rom to your device while you're booted into recovery

Thanks. Thats what I am thinking but my device won't show in windows explorer, so I don't see away to communicate w/it. I have tried installing the device drivers but all I have now is it showing up in Device Manager as Google Nexus BootLoader Interface.Right now I am working with ADB and Fastboot and I think I have it working but I am still stuck on the drivers and the device showing up.
lol...
download WugFresh toolkit, download factory image from google, download universal ADB drivers.
enter bootloader, you should see an android with chest open, stay in bootloader and connect your phone to PC, flash ROM through Nexus 4 Tool kit.
you dont need usb debugging in bootloader

Google 15 second adb install xda. Has adb and the usb drivers. Try that. Factory image is going to wipe your device. By dirty flashing the rom you're on you'll save your data.

Edit, if those usb drivers don't work Google universal naked drivers xda

Thanks Mashed_Potatoes. I tried Wug & Skipsoft toolkits but did not do it in bootloader mode. Hope I remember that for the next time! Still having trouble with the drivers and computer seeing the phone. In device manager should it be android device--Google Nexus ADB Interface? I just don't remember that and the phone doesn't show up in explorer, but it's listed under devices and printers. I hope I can get it. Wug toolkit gave me an error trying to install drivers. Thanks for the help
I didn't understand you, you managed to flash the ROM but not in bootloader? It won'tsay Google Nexus ADB Interface, i don't remember precisely i've done it a long time ago!

I managed to re-install 4.4.4 with wug toolkit in bootloader. I got my OS back but have not been able to get the drivers sorted out (yet) so the Nexus isn't communicating w/the computer fully but I can still flash roms and install apk's w/wug also.
Try a factory reset and reinstall the drivers in PC
Ive been searching and trying for quite some time now for a solution but I have yet to find one.
My problem is this, I've soft bricked my Nexus 7. I can get into fastboot and recovery (CWM).
My computer has had a fresh install since i rooted last, now when i connect with USB it doesnt even come up in device manager. Everything ive found online tells me Windows will automatically detect the device then i can update the driver. But i cant even get that far!
I was wondering if anyone could PLEASE help me figure this one out? Is there some way to force Windows 7 to install a USB driver for Nexus 7. Ive downloaded the specific driver.
I'd hate for my Nexus 7 to end its life this way.
Did you try with wugs toolkit. It should have multiple solutions for USB drivers.

I tried Wugs toolkit... also step by step, manually in SDK but Im always getting stuck at "Windows will automatically detect your device" because it doesnt.
the only solution i can think of is to get another nexus 7 to install the drivers and take it from there, but thats a leap i'd rather not take unless it's completely necessary. Even then there is no guarantee that it will work.
Are the latest chip set drivers for the computer installed correctly? All windows updates and drivers? Tried another USB device, cord, and port? Of the 5 ports on my laptop only 1 works for adb and fastboot.

When using WUG's Toolkit be sure to use the USB deview tool inside the driver section.. Remove all of the entries with the Vendor IDs listed in the tool dialogs.

Interesting that some of you have been able to get adb working. I've tried every possible USB drivers and cannot get adb working for my nexus 7, nexus 10, or Acer iconia A1-830. My phone still runs android 4.2, connects no problem. There is no solution, must be because I'm still running winxp on laptop
A friend gave me his soft-bricked Nexus 4. I have no idea what bricked it, it just gets stuck on the nexus 4 loading splash screen.
It looks like it's on lollipop, since the splash screen has the newer colored ball animations.
Anyway I have no idea if it's rooted, or on a different rom, debugging enabled, adb, or anything. And either the volume down key is broken or the device can't boot into recovery mode.
I can't get Nexus Root Toolkit or SkipSoft Android Toolkit to detect the device when I connect it to my computer while turned off, but the device will show as charging when connected to a computer.
Any ideas on how I can try to get this phone to boot up?

Boot into the bootloader, then connect it to your computer. Is it detected then. If so flash the factory image with fastboot.

It won't detect on the computer regardless of if the phone is on or off.

With it on does anything show up in device manager? Also Google universal naked usb driver xda. See if that works

After playing around with the drivers I was able to get it to show up as "Google Nexus ADB Interface" in Device Manager while the device is turned off.
When the device is turned on my Computer doesn't even detect it as being plugged in.
Neither Nexus Root Toolkit or SkipSoft Toolkit detect the phone when it's set as "Google Nexus ADB Interface". My gues is USB debugging is turned off, but I can't get into the phone to turn it on.

You don't need usb debugging turned on except if your booted into the os. You need to be booted into the bootloader to run the tools kits or use fastboot, but it doesn't matter if usb debugging is turned off. My guess is the usb port on the device is no good.
