Heyas all, about to purchase a Nexus 10, my first tab ever but am confused on one part about rooting.
I am following QBKing77's YouTube guide which makes use of Qugfresh's NRT V1.6.3 and there is one part I'm confused on: the PDANet drivers part.
Am I installing PDANet to my computer, or to the Nexus 10 in it's original form (fresh outta the box/not Rooted)?
Since QBKing mentioned in the video that you install PDANet to your computer, but when I try to install it right now without my Nexus 10 connected it gives me an error that it can't detect an Android phone.
You install drivers to the computer, you could install the drivers directly rather than with PDAnet
Ive never heard of using this method to root. Installing the official Google SDK and rooting it with the included utilities seems so much easier and safer.
Find the samsung naked drivers they have everything you need

hi,
im in need of help, i just bought my nexus 7, within the first hour of course i wanted to unlock, root and flash CWM on it, this is what happened, i downloaded the files necessary, went on cmd on my computer and fallowed some simple directions and i unlocked it, the problem started when i couldnt copy and paste the CWM file onto my nexus 7 it just wouldnt copy, so i went to do install the drivers for my nexus 7 on device manager, and my computer sees my nexus 7 as my previous tablet samsung tab 2, now after trying to make it work, my computer wont recognize the device at all,
so im trying to get it back to stock, factory rom when everything was working okay, because i think i somehow renamed the device as my old tablet samsung tab 2, im suprised as it still works fine, however i cant transfer files over, and i cant root because the toolkit program on my computer wont recognize the nexus 7, if there is a simple method to fix this problem or bring my nexus 7 to the way i bought it please do tell, it will be highly appreciated,
Thanx
It sounds like the drivers got messed up.
Get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
it includes a tool & instructions for fixing the drivers under the "full driver installation guide".
You can also download a stock image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
I think uninstalling the previous drivers with USBDview (step 1 in the full driver installation guide) will help.
Note that while it says "guide" it includes buttons for launching included programs and scripts.
Use Wugs toolkit, click on the big button to install drivers manually/automatic I think is how it's labeled.
One of the first step offers a tool to view and delete drivers and it even specifically tells you which drivers to delete to prevent it being misrecognized and/or having conflicts.
Once you've uninstalled those just follow the instructions to install the correct ones. Once they're uninstalled you will see it in device manager as something else until you install the new drivers.

So The toolkit is not loading drivers from the menu, I am familiar with using it, version 4.0.0. Used the pdanet download it errors out now, Its install was removing the wireless when installed in the last couple of days.
I have had this all working with the pdanet, but had to do several restores to get wireless back, each one after loading the pdanet again and loosing wireless.
Running Android 4.2.0 rooted and boot unlocked.
So I was able to load the adb drivers with the NexusRoot kit 1.6.1 WugFresh

There is a thread on here someplace - sorry, you'll have to search for it (I don't remember where it is) - but the gist of it is that Windows 8 mandatory requirement of using signed drivers is the root of the problem.
The thread in question details a rather involved method for turning off the signed driver requirements in Windows 8.
An alternative to this approach - which is arguably at least as much effort, if not more - is to use your PC hardware without Windows 8: boot a version of Linux (such as Ubuntu) from a USB key. The same thing could be accomplished from a Linux "Live CD" so long as you keep copies of the Linux versions of fastboot & adb (plus any dynamically-linked shared libs not in the distro as needed) lying around.
(Yes, I realize that suggesting the latter to someone that uttered the word "toolkit" is probably a waste of typing. But the Windows 8 issue is generic to everyone, and others besides the OP may read this post.)
[Edit] See this old post by WugFresh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33288005&postcount=1368
and possibly a couple posts after it in the same thread. I'm not sure if this is the issue or not, but it is clearly evident that WugFresh has been aware of it for some time.
Is there some reason you are not asking this question in WugFresh's thread?
Excellent.... It works now
Thanks

Good news.
For the benefit of others, what steps did you take?
uninstalled the driver several times until the option "delete driver" also appears in the uninstall
reboot
plug cable
manually choose new driver
So I got the Nexus 7. I am kinda new at rooting phones. All my phones are Rooted "Captivate" and "GS3" but I always want to try what rooting a tablet is like. So I followed a few tutorials on youtube about haw to root the Nexus7 installed the usb driver, usb is debugged Nexus Root Tool kit also installed on my comp. But everything I try to unlock my nexus7 using the toolkit it would say ADB not found. I will attach a pict. Everything is downloaded and i even tried switching usb slots and it still wont let me why is that ?
I'm trying to root my nexus 7 with nexus root toolkit but I keep getting the ADB not found even tho the drivers are installed I tried all 3 driver installs that nexus tool kit provides and followed the instructions, but still can't get it to work uninstalled everything a few times and retried a few times and still nothing, so I don't know what I'm suppose to do. I even tried asus drivers and other drivers to see if it would work but still not luck.
PDAnet drivers have worked 100% for me. Google them and try it, they work perfectly in fastboot, adb and with the Nexus toolkit. Does install a little program that's easily disabled/uninstalled. The drivers will still be there if you uninstall it. Good luck

I'm afraid if your USB debuging is turned on or what. Does your laptop find the device as a media device??
You should've asked this question under the Nexus root toolkit thread as you are facing a problem regurding it. Next time please try to read the forum rules.It's better not to start a new thread whten there is already thread about it. And please try to make a good use of the search option.
Last week my nexus 7 asked my permission to download kit kat, I said yes and it crashed and now I only get the google opening page it was rooted by my brother who owned it before me, the tablet is not recognized when I plug it into my computer either, can anyone point me to where I can find the drivers online and the os as well. Thank you in advance.
Install Wug toolkit and install the drivers that way... You can also return to stock via the toolkit.
