I've gotten a new nexus 7 in the mail today and the first thing that I tried to do was unlock the bootloader and root the device to flash custom kernel and ROM. but i ran into a problem in the first step. Im having no luck with the drivers at all. i have searched and tried everything. I have tried this 1.5.2 toolkit and watched the video. In the section that i have to go to device manager and manually install the drivers, i didnt get anything. i downloaded the driver from asus themselves and it worked (pictured below) but when i try to use adb commands, nothing happens. I also installed the 64 bit drivers and it gives me the same thing as the picture and when i run the toolkit, it doesnt find adb. Can anyone help out please? and yes, i have enabled usb debugging, just in case you wonder.
What OS are you using?
When you plug the Nexus in the USB port does anything happen?
Have you rebooted the workstation?
4.1.1 jellybean. I've rebooted several times. When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the regular "New device" sound and then it searches for the nexus driver but cannot find it. The tablet shows debugging connected.

You have a workstation with JellyBean on it? I'm guessing it is a Win box perhaps right? Have you rebooted it?
I just unlocked and rooted today. I downloaded and installed the drivers from the PDAnet website. Everything worked fine. Hope this Info helps you get you unlocked and rooted

Sorry no, I misunderstood. I don't have a workstation. I have a laptop running Windows 7 and the tablet is running jelly bean.

You went to pda net website and downloaded a .exe file and ran it right? I guess I'll have to do it from another computer maybe. I just don't have one though. I'll keep trying

Yeah, just download the driver package you need for your laptop and install them. The .exe is more like a setup/installation wizard for the drivers.

using nexus 7 toolkit...but i'm probably doing something wrong...getting device not found.

Did you try installing the driver package that comes with Wugs?
Its sounds like it isnt finding the drivers to me.Are you using a custom recovery or the stock?
Try using Odin and see if it recognizes it.

i thought odin is for samsung devices...where do i download one that works with N7?
I'm trying to install drivers, but it's not doing anything but opening up pictures with how to install in Wugs.
using wugs, it does pick up as grooper under device manager, but doesn't show on the MY COMPUTER section
not sure what you mean by recover or stock, but i can get into Clockword Mod Recover 6.0.1.0...does that help?
**tried odin 3.7 but it isn't doing anything
LOL sorry I got a few devices and 2 out of 3 are samsung.
Maybe try to install the drivers in the toolkit here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 ,if you can get a image on there you should be able to flash it with Clockwork if you select install from zip.
I dont suppose you made a backup with Clockwork?
If you can get adb working you can easily flash it back to stock by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

Driver Installation
This seems to be the most confusing part for many people. Be patient and thoroughly read all the instructions.
Enable usb debugging on your device (found under Settings > Developer Options)
NOTE: Since Android 4.2 the Developer Options are hidden by default.
To enable them, go to Settings > About Phone, and tap on build number around seven times. A small dialog will appear letting you know "You are now a developer!"
Install the abd driver - detailed instructions for installing or upgrading and existing driver on your version of Windows can be found at http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Once the driver is installed open a command prompt and change directories to <your sdk directory>\platform-tools (see #2). From the command prompt run "adb devices". This will list any adb-capable devices that are connected to the computer by their serial number assuming your drivers are installed correctly. Recap:

Did you install the drivers from the nexus toolkit?
And maybe try a reboot of your pc,and try unplugging usb and replugging while in fast boot.
Also check in CWM and see if a backup has every been made even if its old, its better than where you are now.
there's no backup of anything on the nexus...everything got wiped somehow. nexus 7 toolkit keep tellingthe resource loader cache doesn't have loader mUI entry" whichs tells me it's ok..
adb: unable to connect backup
unplug / reboot / different ports...basic pc stuff already done
Maybe try using a different cable,Other than that maybe try a different pc and see if it loads a default driver to at least give you access to put a zip file on it to flash,could be your driver is corrupt on that pc never heard of it installing a nexus as grooper.
Besides that I'm at a loss.
Best of luck,hopefully you get it figured out.
so...i've tried the following already just to make it clear...
i already tried all the basic pc things
-switch usb ports
-reboot pc
-use usb2
-use usb3 ports
-use a different computer (one 8, one XP)....both...i don't really know what to do cause instructions seems to be mostly in 7 and/or just not working on 8
-rebooted asus n7
if someone can give me step by step, noob guide...instead of saying try thing / that, it may help me.

I had exactly the same problem. I was able to restore mine to stock 4.2 without ever having the Nexus 7 show up under my computer. My understanding is that it isn't supposed to show up there unless it is booted into android, but I could be wrong. Anyways, just try downloading the stock N7 firmware and installing with the Unroot and restore stock option in the Wugfresh Toolkit, and if you want root and custom recovery back, simply use the option to reroot and follow the instructions. That's what I did and it worked like a charm.

I have tried to plug my nexus 4 to my friend computer (Win7 64bit), it is successfully connected and disk shown, MTP driver successfully installed and worked.

I'm on TWRP 2.3.3.0., and my computer is W8 Pro. I've searched but most people seem to be able to get adb working during the bootloader at least, but not for me. I've tried sideloading a zip through the command prompt (and picking the adb sideload option in TWRP) but it tells me that adb is not recognized. I've tried using the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore a backup I have on my computer, but, yeah, no adb. I was wondering if disabling driver signature enforcement was temporary, so I went through the menus and disabled it again on my computer. I've used the cable/port that I rooted it with but I've also used different cables and ports as well. Why isn't this working? Am I bricked?
Have you tried jromflasher for nexus 7? With that tool you can wipe your system, upload ROM, temporary load custom recovery, and flash the ROM.

Error 103. I think my device needs to be booted into an actual ROM.
I thought that maybe the drivers from plugging my phone in were interfering, so I used the Nexus Root Toolkit again, and went through the driver installation for a second time, deleting all the old ADB drivers and such. Well, when I tried to install the RAW drivers, I get "Windows was unable to install your unknown device," and basically it could not find the driver software and to check the company website and so on. Did I just dig myself into a deeper hole? Gah! I wish I could remember which wipe option deleted sdcard so I know to never do it again.
OP is using Win8 - might want to try to do it with a PC or laptop running Win7 or Vista OS and start fresh by loading the drivers and/or use Jromflasher - borrow a friend/neighbor's PC to see if it can be jump started, assumed that s/he cannot get it to boot into Fastboot and/or Recovery as the file systems are likely corrupted. (I have an old/aging laptop running Windows XP SP3 that's set aside for fixing often the impossible)
Otherwise, it might be time for an RMA to get it repaired by Google/Asus and/or exchange - it could cost $$ if they determined that the warranty has been "compromised" ...
You know you won't get adb while in bootloader? You need fastboot.

Thanks. I'll try this later tonight. Would they RMA in this scenario, even though it is my fault? Assuming I can't get it working.
I don't understanding why you would RMA? You can get into twrp right? So you can still flash ROMs and whatnot. Just need to get adb installed on cpu
You can also try "disable driver signature check" on advanced reboot on windows 8.

Well....use fastboot then.
You should have done some reading before you started flashing ROM's. You dont seem to even know what fastboot is.
Have you tried downloading the android sdk from Google and installing their usb driver?

Adb works in recovery and in Android OS, only fastboot works in the bootloader. Installing Windows 8 messed it up for me, but I simply grabbed the Nexus 7 driver from ASUS'S website. I suggest you read and learn how to use fastboot.

Ok, tired of waiting for the OTA KitKat update for my Nexus 7 2012 tablet, I downloaded the OTA update and sideloaded it with adb. Got a status 7 error and now it's stuck on a bootloop. Thing is, my Windows 8 laptop won't recognize the device anymore (code 43 error on device manager) when on recovery or bootloader. There's even no way to instal google's usb drivers or anything because it says the device malfunctioned. I downloaded the factory image but, obviously, can't sideload it or do anything with it.
Please give me a hand with this, I'm really desperate.
More detail would be nice. What did the bootloop go between? Had you installed any custom recovery like CWM?
Are you still able to access fastboot mode?

Sorry, wasn't sure what you needed. The bootloop esentially goes from recovery to off and then to recovery again. I am able to go to fastboot normally (power and volume down when off).
Wanting to root the device a while ago, I unlocked it and rooted it whitout issues. Since the 4.3 update though, it was a little more difficult to root so having no time to research I just left it at that. That's all that was done to the Nexus 7. No Custom Recovery, no ROM, no nothing. Now, waiting for 3 weeks for KitKat, decided to sideload the OTA update (I did check the version was my device's version) the status 7 error appeared and all hell broke loose with the computer not recognizing the device.
Well, since you still have access to your fastboot menu, there isn't anything to worry about. Once you resolve the driver issue, you must be able to re flash the image.

Yeah, that's what relaxes me a bit, but I can't seem to fix it for 20 hours straight. I use this for studying.
Well, I suggest using another computer (a friend's or relatives') or installing a Linux distro like ubuntu. Oses other than Windows usually don't have such problems. I suggest you download something called adb gui which as I recall did a pretty fine job of 're installing the drivers for me.
But then, please do correct me if I'm wrong... I think that you must first use the device on adb and get the drivers installed and then only can you use it by the fastboot interface.

I used Wug nexus root toolkit to install drivers (windows 8.1) there are clear instructions (if you click manual or something similar) how to get drivers to work.
Yeah, actually I did use the toolkit when I was trying to update to KitKat. Thing is, it doesn't work since the bricking occurred.
Yeah, I'll try on another pc, and I'll keep you posted.

I'm having a very similar issue. Mine will try and bootup but just stays on the boot animation for as long as I could wait, 10 minutes or more. bootloader is working just fine and I should be able to use fastboot commands to resolve the issue. I'm not able to get to recovery for one reason or another, but it is updated to the latest CWM.
The trouble I am having is the same though. I cannot for the life of me get the drivers to work. I have tried it on one win8 pc, and one win7 pc. I haven't tried any of the toolkits to help with driver installation on the win8 pc yet. I also have another pc that I am going to try also has win8 on it as well. If you can get the drivers installed, please post a reply as to what you did here, and I will do the same, from what I have been able to find you and I aren't the only ones that are having this issue.
If the windows route doesn't work, I have a copy of Ubuntu that will be going on the computer to see if that resolves my issues. Also, may want to try another cord, I have a couple that are charge cords only. Once getting the drivers working it should be a very simple job.

If I did have any driver issues, the first thing I'd do is reinstall drivers, and if necessary, Windows itself, because I like everything to be working perfectly.
But supposing that that was not an option and I needed my phone or tab real bad, ubuntu would be my first choice. Especially because the concept of installing 'drivers' doesn't exist in ubuntu.
No, that should be fine. As long as you have used terminal before and you know the basics.

I appreciate the advice, I will give it a shot this evening, and let you know if this works. I'm sure that it will.
Alright, so I got SDK up and running on Linux! It was a little bit of a pain, but it installed just fine. Once I got it all installed I was able to see the nexus 7 through fastboot! From there I was able to reinstall the bootloader. Then was able to get to recovery to do an adb push to get a rom of 4.4 on to it. 4.4 installed just fine. All problems are fixed Good suggestions guys!
