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 ?

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.

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

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.
Hi,
I'm currently ran into a very frustrating driver problem with my nexus and i was looking for some help.
I an having trouble with my nexus when i was in the middle of rooting it i had just unlocked it using Wugfresh's root toolkit when the drivers i used were no longer recognized it as as an ADB device and i couldn't carry on my rooting, i have tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times and it doesn't work and it has gotten to a point where it names it as unrecognized so i cannot even transfer files to it anymore, could anyone help me.
P.S. if you want more details about what i did ask me.

Ran into same problem with this ****Wug's thing. Trash it and use Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit instead. Took me a long time to erase all traces of Wurst. You need to uninstall and delete the Wurst' driver in device manager for Skipsoft to work.
Before anyone complains id like to say that i have done research into this and searched through the forums for a thread on the same matter but i have not found one.
I have recently purchased a Nexus 4 (the most well designed and premium feeling phone ive ever owned) running completely stock unrooted android 5.0.2, however upon connecting it to two different laptops i have been unable to access my files on the device or connect to the nexus root toolkit to root it.
device manager tells me that it recognises the device but the drivers are not installed. all the phone does is charge when its plugged in unless i turn on usb debugging and this only makes the noise that it makes when any device is inserted.
any help with this will be much appreciated, cheers

Google 15 second adb install xda. That will install drivers as well as adb and fastboot. You don't need nrt to root it. Flash the twrp image in fastboot, then flash supersu in twrp. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako. http://download.chainfire.eu/693/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.44.zip
