Okay, let me preface this with the following: Yes, I've searched through XDA, Rootz, and Google to try to solve this. I've unlocked plenty of devices before including both the LTE GNex and the GSM variant.
I cannot for the life of me get my Nexus 7 to be recognized as an ADB device. No drivers automatically install regardless of what mode the device is in when connected...which is fine, I'm used to manually installing drivers...assuming I can FIND the d*** things. I've uninstalled all Samsung drivers just in case and yes, all SDK tools and drivers are up to date.
I found this thread with the Universal Naked Driver v0.7 and tried manually pointing to it from Device Manager (on Windows obviously). It says Windows found the driver software but that "The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file." blah blah it won't install the drivers. I've tried redownloading to be sure the download wasn't corrupt and that didn't help.
I'm literally pulling my hair out and it's incredibly annoying that Asus doesn't make drivers available on their website. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!
I had to uninstall the drivers for it in device manager then install the new ones. Until I did that it wouldn't work

Hey Guys, after installed a new Windows Version (Win8) i can't install ADB/Fastboot Driver.
I instantly get the Error
"INF doesnt have Digital driver Signature" (Translated from German)
I've tried the Nexus Toolkit, but that doesnt help ...
Most likely Google has not updated the drivers for windows 8 as its not officially released

I did a quick google search and found a few useful threads, check out this one. It seems most people with working Windows 8 ADB drivers had to use Wug's toolkit to uninstall drivers from their failed attempts, then disable the automatic windows driver search and get the correct drivers installed, and then after every reboot there's an extra step.
I'm at work right now and couldn't spend much time on it, but some google searches will find some similar threads.

I've tried every driver known to man. I've tried the official Google drivers, I've tried the naked drivers, I've tried the ones that come with PDANet.
I've tried rebooting, uninstalling all other drivers, etc. I tried on my Windows 7 desktop, I tried on my Windows 8 laptop after disabling driver enforcement.
Every single time, the ADB driver installs fine, but adb itself sees no devices. I develop, I have many other Android devices (I am moving from a One XL) and they all just need one quick install and are detected. I have the same issue with my Nexus S - getting it consistently recognised on ADB is near impossible.
What am I doing wrong? I've waited three months for this thing and I want to set it up.
'USB Debugging' enabled?
Of course. It will install drivers for the ADB device, it just won't be detected by adb.exe.
I tried the 'switch to Photo MTP' mode trick too. I am having no issues with adb to a One XL, One V, Defy, Aurora II or U8800. This is really bizarre.
Do you have java jdk installed correctly?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I wasn't aware java was relevant to adb at all (and I don't think it is) but yeah I have the JDK installed and it works fine for my app dev.
I had the same issue. Drivers installed correctly (and worked on other phones) but not the N4.
In the end i used an Ubuntu Virtual machine, attached the phone, followed a guide on XDA for getting ADB drivers in linux, and it worked straight away.
Days of trying in windows, and done in 5 minutes through linux.
Yep, I too went the virtual machine route.
Ridiculous. The only two developer devices I've owned (Nexus S and Nexus 4) and they've both been impossible to get the adb drivers going...

Yes you have to have installed the java jdk to run adb, it doesn't work without it. Java jdk is supposed to be setup first before you install the sdk so that it finds it. One issue why people can't get adb working is that the path environment variables are not set up and need to be manually entered.
Example of setting your windows path environment variables for jdk version 6 windows 32 bit on Windows Vista.
right-click on My Computer, and select Properties
under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button
in the dialog that comes up, under System Variables double-click on Path
Add ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin to the Path variable (or wherever the jdk was installed)
Add ;C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools to the Path variable (or wherever you installed the sdk)

The linux guides include editing the udev rules so that you manually enter the Nexus 4 into the list of devices in order to get adb to recognize the phone. Could be the same issue with windows. I only have the sdk installed on a Linux box and haven't used it on windows since I installed it on a Vista box a few years ago but I would imagine windows would have the same problem recognizing the phone.

I used the Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72. It worked for me. I did not install Java.

You shouldn't even be able to install the sdk properly without having java jdk installed first as the windows installer checks to see if its there.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
Edit: and by installer I meant SDK Manager, what you use to download and install the android usb drivers. I suppose you can get past the java limitation by just downloading the sdk and copying the needed files into the c directory then using 3rd party drivers but java jdk is what controls the phone once its connected so I don't know how you are getting it to work.
Edit 2: I guess I was wrong in part, I installed the sdk without java jdk on a windows xp box, used the universal drivers linked to above, and it recognized my phone in adb devices and I was able to reboot it. But I can't use sdk manager as it requires java jdk to be installed.
had the same issue... you must be using a usb port on the front/side of the computer
use one of the usb ports on the back, and you should be just fine.
This happens to me too. On all windows computers I have used for ADB and all phones it will work the first few times, and then it won't work no matter what. I can usually get fastboot to work reliably but that is it.

I recently downloaded the Carbon backup app so I could back up my Nexus 7 before I root it. However, when I installed it, it needed to connect to my computer before I could use the app. When I connected to my computer, it said I needed to install the Google ADB drivers. So, I downloaded the drivers from Carbon's website, but when I tried to install them in Windows 8's device manager, it said that no drivers could be found in the directory I specified. I do have the drivers unzipped, and I had it check for subdirectories. I tried doing the same process with the Nexus Root Toolkit, but it ran into the same problem. Even when I tried to run the backup utility, it was unable to reboot my device to start the backup process. What should I do to get these drivers installed? I am running Windows 8 64-bit and my Wi-Fi 32 GB Nexus 7 is running 4.2.2. Every time I try to install a driver, I get the error "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7." I have tried various Google and Asus USB drivers, and none were able to install.

so basically you didnt bother to try turning off the driver signature as instructed in the FIRST link?
Well guys I've been trying for hours now, whenever I try to install the USB drivers in order to unlock my bootloader, when I plug in my Nexus it installs the MTP drivers on it's own, if I try to install the google drivers downloaded from ADB all I get is a message saying the best drivers for my device are already installed and it doesn't let me overwrite them.
If I go with the use disk option it doesn't let me choose the usb_drivers folder because it just wants to use a .inf file, whener I follow the instructions the toolkit dictates I read the dead end with the "The best drivers for your device are already installed"
I'm so angry right now.... Please help me.
Are you on a Windows XP operating system by any chance? There are major issues with MTP mounting on WinXP regardless of the service pack you're on. Some people claim they've gotten things working by updating WMP, via a Naked Driver and even by installing the Android SDK. Let me know if you are indeed on WinXP & I'll get you some links
Did you try following Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to install the drivers? That helped me. I cannot post a link so look around for it.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, thanks guys, I just gave up and did it in my sister's laptop, it worked on the first damn attempt, maybe the drivers of my N10 were screwing something up, that's my best guess.
Glad you got that sorted--just for future reference, a common recommendation for people having driver issues with their Nexus devices is to simply go into Win Device Manager, uninstall all your current Nexus & ADB drivers and restart. Then plug your phone in via USB and let the auto installation do its thing. Usually this fixes all issues w conflicting device drivers
