[Q] Device doesn't show up in adb

Ok, I'm having a problem here. I'm buzy on a ROM, and I have made something that I want to test. But when I try to access my phone via adb, it doesn't show up in adb devices. Just nothing. I reïnstalled adb, the drivers, rebooted the phone and computer, put on debugging mode, everything. The phone is showing in (windows) devices, but adb just don't recognize him. I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium. And on my phone Swiftdroid M5 (with ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1, which is working properly). Anyone knows what to do?

Anyone?

Heres my solution ^^ adb worked for me some weeks ago but now i had your problem too lol:
first uninstall all the adb drivers from:
Start>devicemanager
then get this :
http://www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe
original LG drivers
and install
then plug your phone(debugging on of course)
then it will show 7 (i think) installations
5 of them will be done fast but 2 won't finish installation
so just go to devices and printer
rightclick on android sooner single adb interface and select troubleshooting( marked with a yellow triangle)
then just let is solve the error
the last of the 7 drivers wont install but thats not a problem
EDIT: make sure u know on which port u were doing this

Oh of course you should reinstall the adb drivers. Btw i'm in linux you can use linux for building rom. What are you using?

Hello, I tried all of the above but my device still doesn't get recognized. Is there any other way to fix this? Thanks.

I've been in the same situation like this before. My phone wasn't recognized by adb. I though it was a driver problem so I reinstall the driver million times but it doesn't help. I tried on many other computer with various OS as well but adb still can't recoginized it. At last I flash another ROM and adb can recognized my phone again. so the problem is the SDSL ROM

I see. Thanks for the info ^_^

Help Unlocking and Rooting nexus 4!!

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.

[Q] Wiped my Nexus4 OS What do I do?

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

USB driver trouble

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

ADB doesn't work

When I plug in my phone to my PC the only thing that happens is it begins charging. Doesn't show signs of adb working, only thing that happens beside charging is my pc says it's an Unknown Device.
I tried all sorts of things, like USB Debugging on and off, MTP on and off, PTP on and off, I think even fastboot doesn't work. I tried to install all kinds of drivers (official, unofficial, uninstalling them afterwards if they didn't work ofc), I tried Wug's toolkit, nothing. I tried killing adb server then restarting it - nope. I even tried all of my USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0. Also tried 3 different roms/kernels (L dev preview, Purity and Mahdi), didn't work aswell.
Things seem pretty hopeless at this point :/

Download wugfresh toolkit... look In the section of driver installation... They'll help you out

driver installation...

As I said, I already tried the driver thing in Wug's Toolkit. Also my Windows allows unsigned drivers.

Bump :/

If it still says Unknown Device on your PC, its a driver issue. Personally I use the Google usb driver, that page also has instructions on how to install the driver. Try uninstalling whatever drivers you have installed right now, then install Google usb driver carefully following instructions. Fastboot needs bootloader mode, so make sure your phone is in that mode before trying a fastboot command. I use the Minimal adb installer to install adb/ fastboot tools.

Fastboot actually works, only ADB doesn't. I use the Android SDK to install adb/fastboot and I tried Google USB drivers and also Universal ADB. I tried the drivers from Wug's Nexus Toolkit and then LG drivers, same old story :/
Edit: I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 using clean install, still same problem.

Might be windows 8/8.1 giving you driver signature grief. Try the Universal adb drivers:
