so i am new to android and i decided " hey why don't i try to root my nexus" so i tried and i cant get any father that checking if the computer can see my device which it cant for some reason. so i went online i figured out that i don't have the usb driver for android. so after that i tried to down load then and i even installed them and restarted my computer and it still wont work. so if any one can help me with my problem it would be greatly appreciated.
On Home Screen, press menu>settings>applications>development and make sure USB debugging is checked.
What OS you running?
Specs would help, where did you get your drivers? What other software have you tried?
i turned on the debugging and it still hasnt worked
i am running xp. i downloaded the android sdk from here
developer.android.com
i just want to put the modaco desire rom on my phone that my onl reason for wanting to root. i really like the sense ui
I am having a similar problem, so i might as well use this thread instead of creating a new one.
I have a dual boot computer, win7 and fedora, both have SDK. I unlocked my nexus one with windows, as i noticed the commands were considerably easier, or at least they don't work when i plug the linux ones into fedora.
Last night i was going to push the undervolt kernel so i plugged my n1 while in win7, It instantly came up complaining about drivers, which i had already installed and had previously worked, i went to re-install them, and windows says they are up to date, but still no luck recognising the device (Debugging mode is definately on)
So i switched to fedora, no driver pop ups obviously, but when i try to push the kernel through, it does not recognise the device.
In the bootloader it says "fastboot usb" while plugged in.
I can't pinpoint when it stopped working, but the last time i used fastboot was to put the RA recovery, since then i flashed CM 5.0.2, CM 5.0.3.1, the desire rom, and used a nandroid restore to get back to 5.0.3.1
Anyone got any ideas? Without fastboot i am pretty much restricted to flashing .zip files from the recovery.
yeah i cant even unlock mine its so frustrating
Me either. I'm coming from windows and flashed the heck out of that. The instructions seem super easy, but the darn thing wont recognize phone to root... and there is no real good instructions on the driver part. Yes USB debug is enabled... sucks cause I want that desire rom, if 10.1 is working that is...

I tried all day too like a gazillion times.... and wonder does everyone have driver issues? I tried with my XP computer and windows 7, no go, then I read posts people having the same issue, then they just post " nevermind got it" and didn't even write what they did to get it.......

not everyone is a dev
Ok, I have my Nexus One set up so I can use with via Windows 7 (desktop) or Ubuntu (Laptop).
The Linux part is a bit more involved, but since everyone is running Windows (unless I missed something), I will work there.
First of all, your phone needs to be in Dev mode (which was covered earlier).
With the phone UNPLUGGED from the PC, uninstall any previous SDK installs you have and be sure to remove the directory.
Then, install the SDK found here: SDK
Install this SDK and let it complete the install, which will include downloading for a bit. You need to do this since the SDK package above does NOT include the right drivers!!!
Once this has been completed, plug your phone into the computer via USB. Your computer will find a new device, however, it cannot locate the drivers for it. Browse and point the installer to:
DRIVE:\PATH_TO_android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
Don't go any further than this!!
Now, let it do it's thing and you should have a new device in the device manager called:
Android Phone
...|_Android Composite ADB Interface
Now, go to the command prompt and change to the following directory:
DRIVE:\PATH_TO_android-sdk-windows\tools
There, you will find adb.exe
Type:
adb devices
and you should see:
List of devices attached
HT019P801614 device
If not, something got screwed up and would need to dig further to help ya.
Ok ill give this a try once get home from school
nexus one root.
Ok assuming that you have the android sdk installed correctly, try rooting your phone via the superboot method. The first link below has a full detailed guide for rooting the nexus one and I believe has all of the device drivers for those who have not been able to get them running well. If you still have trouble getting the drivers working checkout the second link. Anyone who is relatively new to working with the sdk and is not familiar with working the commands check out the third link. Read the entire thread! it is very helpful.

If you have any questions PM me on xda. I'll try and help in anyway, it took my like two days to actually root my nexus, I wasnt familiar with using ADB and Fastboot to root.
One thing I know I was having problems with since I came from the G1 was that the new SDK has to actually be installed via an .exe now. I was used to it all being in a zip so I kept trying to load up what I thought were the right USB drivers, but they were actually the 1.6 drivers I already had. So make sure to run the .exe that comes with the SDK.
ok so while i was downloading the sdk a notification came up that said that it could not rename the directory. is this bad?
i am having an issue with installing the right driver as well. my computer keeps installing the nexus one as a "mass storage device". i have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but no luck. i have the phone set to debug mode, using XP btw. any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
Long story short, I accidentally bought a Kindle Fire HD 7. I was hoping to root it but I've had nothing but difficulty. Can anyone help me with the things below? ** Please don't reply if you can't - the disorder and unmoderation of this forum is part of the confusion problem **
- The apps that are given on this site mostly don't work for 7.2.3. Is this an issue with the version?
- I kept getting permission denied errors. Nothing that pushes over, pushes successfully - yet it says it does
- When I finally got something "rooted", my status bar and home bar (at the bottom) are all gone. I can pretty much do nothing with it
- I can't figure out how to restore. I can get into FastBoot mode fairly easily, but when I try to do anything I get "waiting on device" errors. Any ideas?
- I'm a Mac guy, but running Windows 7 to do this. I've tried various versions of drivers posted on the board, but W7 is just a PITA to work with. When it goes into Fastboot, it comes up as an "unrecognized device" in Device Manager. Would this be part of the problem? I've tried to associate drivers with the unknown device, but it keeps saying the driver it has is the best (even though I've removed it).
And while I admit, an emotional rant after spending way too long having to do the above..:
- This forum is a complete mess.. can people with KF HD 8.9's get out of the forum and quit replying or giving advice on the wrong device? Mods, please shut down or move KFHD 8.9 posts. For people trying to find out info, it's seriously a mess.

Ok what is the state of your KFHD? 7"? I would try to use this toolhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 to restore your kindle and getting back to a working state. If you have any questions post them in here or that forum and I will try to guide you through anything. You should not try to use an automated root tool if it isn't for your specified version(7" 7.2.3) and using a automated tool, I think personally, is just not good in general. What does the device manager specifically say when you are in fastboot? It shoulde look like this:
Thanks for getting back to me. I have indeed also tried that, but I encounter the Fastboot problem mentioned above. I can get it into FB mode fine, but when I go to do anything, it gets stuck at "waiting for device". I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Windows 7 (gah)... just for the purpose of this. Believe me, it reminds me why I've left Windows looonngg ago
PS All automated tools were specific to my model and version #.. i wouldn't do otherwise.
And I forgot to say, it shows the yellow triangle warning signs.
I have however installed all the right drivers that I got on various places on the forums. Any ideas why it's doing that? (USB debugging/ADB is enabled of course)

Try to reinstall the appropriate drivers.. first uninstall the ones you have now then reinstall.. if you have the yellow triangle in device manager the drivers are not installed correctly
I've tried that.. not sure what I need to do now. (I hate Windows)
The drivers appear fine when not in Fastboot (ie regular ADB) just not when in Fastboot

You do know that ADB and Fastboot are different.. Correct? They are two different cmd lines to execite comds to your kindle..does your kindle boot? What is its state? what are you seeing or does it even run at all>
I thought I made this clear in other posts, sorry
My Kindle boots fine normally, but in my attempts to root it, it's screwed something up (my menubar doesn't appear). I wished to restore it using the tool above.
I can get it into Fastboot, but I can't actually perform any actions due to it saying "waiting for device". Most ADB functionality works fine, i.e. to push apps. But I also can't get it rooted.
My issue is that when it is in Fastboot...not when it's not. That is what I'm trying to figure out.

Have you tried Kindle Fire First Aide tool and the restore option of you version?
Yes, I have.
And my issue remains - when in Fastboot mode, it also gets stuck on "waiting for device".
When normal boot, ADB functions are fine. It communicates.. things happen
When in fastboot (I have a WordArt looking 'fastboot' logo on the screen) then nothing appears to communicate, and my Device Manager claims it has an "Unknown Device" that it wont let me manually install drivers for.
Windows 7 is x64 if that makes a difference

Try a factory reset on the device and if that doesn't work go to Chris's thread, KFFirstAide and post your problems that you having with the software. He will help you figure out if something is wrong with your device or its the software. I would think its user related, in the nicest way possible. A lot of times we get are selves all worked up over this stuff and forget to specific steps, I am guilty as well. Maybe take a step back for a few hours and then give it another shot.. Sorry I couldnt help more but I currently don't have my KFHD bc I just got a new one shipped to me and still waiting for it to arrive.. If i had my device in front of me I would probably be able to find you a solution.. Its been three weeks since I have seen a Kindle and my memory is vanishing
How do you propose I do a factory reset?

right.. menubar is gone.. how the F did that happen.. I don't get all these people having so much problem with rooting their devices and $hit disappearing.. Can you download soft keys? I don't remember if you need to be rooted or not too..
If I knew the answer to that question, I wouldn't be here. I do not see how I can download soft keys.. unless they're in the Amazon store?

So I got it restored; I had to execute the app open in adb to get into Settings. Still can't figure out how to get the Win 7 to recognize it in Fastboot mode.. I just get "waiting for device"

Do you mean you get that when you select the option to reboot into fastboot mode, or that you are already on the fastboot screen but nothing is happening?
I had the exact same issue with missing status bar and softkeys, cazy annoying. So hopefully I can remember exactly what I did, depending on your answer to my question though
In regular mode, I had missing status bar and softkeys. I restored factory settings (by using adb to get into the settings screen). They are now back.
Now, I have it rooted (well, I have Superuser loaded at least and it appears to be working)... but that is all. It still feels half-done to me.
With the FirstAide tool I'm getting into Fastboot and then I was going to use it to restore it using the Restore Tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
But it doesn't work.. I can load into the Fastboot screen (wordart logo) but it doesn't connect to the device... I just get "waiting for device" and that's where it stops. The WIndows 7 PC I'm using just says that an unknown device has connected and leaves it there.
Ideally, I wish to load Google Play etc, but I can't do that using the First Aide tool. It throws a lot of permission denied errors at me.. reboots several times, says it has been successful but none of the apps are there.
Ideas? I feel like I'm getting closer... perhaps..!
Have you tried running a app that needs root and seeing if the "grant permission" window pops up when you run it. There is a root checker app that you could install from the Noobs Guide to rooting, which should do the trick. SUChecker.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you have managed to get the UI bars back, how come you want to use the restore tool to reset the whole kindle?
If you root is working fine, and you want to install google play then follow the Alternative Manual Install from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 instead of using the first aide tool, which seems to be giving a few issues at the moment.
Another random solution is make sure you are using a usb2 port instead of a usb3 port(if you have one)
I have checked at least hundred threads now, but my problem seems unique! (First time this happened to me )
When I connect my N7 (WiFi, 32 GB) to my laptop (Win 8.1), it says "USB device not recognized - The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." In Device Manager, it is like the image attached, no other recognition for the device. Upon selecting Properties, It says "Code 43" in status, also says "A request for the device descriptor failed". That happened with 2 computers; I used 2 cables (both worked previously). So it means N7's USB port is somehow malfunctioning. But it gets charged as well as ever!!
This started after I tried an OTA update of 4.4 earlier (the download had not completed, but a prior small update (1-3 MB) was installed).
Now, I have Android SDK (latest version) and installed those google USB driver and platform-tools. I have NRT 1.7.9 (which worked for me previously). But I cant get my N7 to answer to ADB requests. [highlight]Upon connecting USB, it says "Charging (USB)" but no option regarding PTP or MTP appears.[/highlight] I have developer tools installed. I followed the instructions given in NRT about ADB installation to the letter but still no progress. I have tried a factory reset too.
BTW, I dont have a custom recovery flashed. It vanished along with the precious root privilage.
Now the N7 is in Android 4.3 (JWR66Y), bootloader is unlocked, SuperSU is Installed (but do not work due to having no root access and I cant even Uninstall it for the same reasons!!!). Now the OTA update also do not work mysteriously (it downloaded the 4.4.2 update and went on to install it, but as the bar started filling, it only said "error" and stopped!!! no explanations whatsoever!!!!). I will be very happy any of the followings:
[highlight]1. root without computer (wireless ADB is also welcome),
2. working OTA, or anyhow the 4.4.2 update
3. working ADB connection with my laptop.[/highlight]
Any help will be very helpful... Thank you in advance...
If you can not communicate via USB hardware, then using fastboot is not an option (obviously). And so therefore the lock state of your bootloader is quite irrelevant, too.
Even if you were to get adb over tcp (WiFi) working, that doesn't get you much, as an adb login shell on a stock ROM is just an unprivileged user; it's not much different from using a terminal emulator app (from a privilege escalation point of view).
The only other thing left is an exploit (privilege escalation) method that runs under the stock ROM. Something similar to that Motochopper exploit from some time ago. I suppose that particular hole was plugged; whether or not a new exploit exists, I can't tell you.
You could always just send the tablet back for repair. Seems like not having a working USB port is pretty crippling to someone who wants to root, flash ROMs, copy backups off the tablet, etc.
Thank you for the replying...
Actually I lack warranty as I bought this from eBay weeks before it was officially available in India. Therefore I kept that repair thing as a last resort. I am now trying it through Linux. And being a noob there, its going too slow. However I have got the ADB working and detecting the device, so its not a port issue (I dont know why the hell windows was so adamant on that point!)... But I am yet to figure out how to flash the image... thank you for the tip over wi-fi, i was actually hoping to wait for it...

Well that is very different than having a broken USB port.
You probably noticed in your search that this forum is littered with thousands of reports from users complaining about their Windows drivers. It gets pretty old, frankly. (No drivers are needed at all for Linux or Mac OS/X).
Here is a suggestion that I made in another thread just a few days ago about using fastboot under Linux - in your case, you will be on your way after installing a recovery, e.g.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-grouper.img
I even attached the most recent version of the (Android SDK Linux) fastboot to that post.
Note that you don't even need a dual-boot PC or PC with a semi-permanent Linux install; you can do the whole thing with one of those "Live CD" boots and a USB stick.
good luck

Ok, so i made a rookie mistake and completely wiped my phone ready for a new install, without moving the files for the install across 1st. So now I cannot get the PC to recognise a device is plugged in to send across the cludyflexg3 rom files. I have twrp installed and can get to that with the power off/down combo on boot but this doesnt help a great deal without the files being accessible.
I can also load the updater with up and power but as the device was rooted this is picked up and it doesn't progress.
I tried IOroot and this doesnt seem to do anything either, window just closes when I hit enter. Any idea how I can flash across the rom somehow?
[as a quick update, IOroot will get to the point where it enables daemon but it just sits there waiting for the phone to respond, which it obviously won't. Is there anything I can do from within twrp to get a version of android installed? There are no recovery files I can find on the device after the wipe.
Is there really nothing I can do? I have now installed and set up adb. But my device doesnt show up with adb from any menu I use... (when using command line adb devices) and also when using adb usb command, I get "device not found"
Any help at all guys? this has been up 2 hours, I've always found this forum very helpful, but I really need my phone up and running asap as I use it for work, it is essential. Even the smallest bit of advice to at least get me to the next step would be really great. Thanks.
Could I possibly get a micro usb storage device, put the rom file on there and load it using twrp? If this is possible I may be without my phone a few days but at least it would work eventually.
Im sorry about the above posts, I tried to tidy the question and delete the previous posts but this isn't possible. Could an admin do this please, but I still need help with this issue. Please, anyone!

if adb is not working then a usb otg would be the solution, they are used to connect usb devices(mouse/keyboard/usb drives/etc) into our phones; here is a link for reference so you know what to look for

Cheers I'll see if the supermarket has them at a half reasonable price, otherwise ebay has them for £1 delivered and I'll have to wait. Thanks for the reply and confirmation that would work though.
Okay, I bought a Nexus 10 off someone, and they had already rooted the device. Bootloader is unlocked and whatnot. That's where my problems start. I can not for the life of me get fastboot or adb to see this thing.
Here's my info:
Google Nexus 10 (Samsung)
ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.3
Bootloader Version: MANTALJ12a
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Full Android SDK
Samsung drivers installed (I rooted my Galaxy Nexus without issue).
USB has a direct connection
Before I decided to format and try to install a stock .zip, I could access the tablet as a media (That's how I got the .zip on the device).
Steps to how I got here:
Flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 or whatever. Didn't want JB, wanted Lollipop.
Pushed the (what I thought was correct) .zip to /sdcard
Booted into recovery
Formatted /system, /cache, /data, /factory
Reflashed the .zip
Failed. Miserably.
I named the .zip as something simple and just overwrote it. I wouldn't have this issue if it wasn't for that. I know I did a bad there.
But still, nothing I can do will get fastboot/adb to see the device. It makes the sounds that it's connected when I plug it in. I'm using an elevated prompt as well, but it will not pull the device. How do I get myself out of this hole? If I could push a new .zip to somewhere on /sdcard I could at least use the recovery to reflash.
Wrong device ? [emoji14]

No, I was going to put it in the general help thread, may be better here since this may not be a simple question (Please prove me wrong).
Some additional things I've tried:
The NExus Root Toolkit. Removing all drivers etc. Still getting to fastboot by PWR+ VOL+ + VOL-.
Still nothing. Should I go to my wife's computer and try it there? I might do that anyways.

You don't have access to have os then? How did you push your zip if you don't have access to adb?
I have seen people who couldn't get adb and fastboot working on their windows and switching to another computer solved the issues.
Ok, make sure to make a full clean of your drivers. Wug toolkit explain how to. Then install proper samsung driver and this
If it is not a hardware's problem, you should have access to fastboot & adb. You might try on another computer if possible. A clean one would be the best (i.e. never used any droid devices, etc.).
Another workaround would be to use and otg cable and an usb drive with any zip of your liking.
Another one, I had an issue long time ago, similar, I had to flash through odin in downloading mode to fix my problems.
BUT did you really deleted /factory partition? It contains various proprietary files needed for the device to work. Well concerns more devices with imei and stuff to allow 3g connection and co. Might have no incidence tho on your device's behavior.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on this, I have 100% access to my computer. I have the Android SDK installed, and adb/fastboot commands working in command prompt. They're just not seeing the tablet.

Yeah, seems to be doing the same on my wife's computer (Win 7 HP, never had my phone/tablet hooked to it). I get adb/fastboot loaded and working in the command prompt, and it registers when I plug in, but neither command will "see" the tablet.
Another workaround would be to use and otg cable and an usb drive with any zip of your liking.
Another one, I had an issue long time ago, similar, I had to flash through odin in downloading mode to fix my problems.
BUT did you really deleted /factory partition? It contains various proprietary files needed for the device to work. Well concerns more devices with imei and stuff to allow 3g connection and co. Might have no incidence tho on your device's behavior.

It's a Wifi tablet, no cellular data and IMEI etc.
edit: As a side note, I've been thinking about reformatting my computer, though it'll be a huge pain to get it back to here as I've got to go from 7 - 8.0 - 8.1 on the upgrade paths to get it back here again.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on this, I have 100% access to my computer. I have the Android SDK installed, and adb/fastboot commands working in command prompt. They're just not seeing the tablet.

From my own experience, having similar issue with the windows drivers for adb, but eventually I fixed it. I really doubt you are screwed.
adb version output ? 1.0.32 is latest.
Yeah, that's one of the steps I did. Followed the Wug toolkit and removed everything. Still not seeing the tablet.

Installed universal adb drivers? Nothing shows up in the device manager?

You might try odin.
Usb mtp doesn’t work from recovery?

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32, yep latest.
I just feel like I'm missing something, maybe something stupid. HOWEVER, I'm now getting my nexus 10 to show up in device manager with a ? on it. Already tried the direct Samsung drivers, the universal drivers in the Wug toolkit.

Did you deleted all samsung vendor, etc from the usb program, you know what i am talking about?
You can force to install drivers from device maanger, don't remember how, when installing manually, you must do some step , install from floppy or file, get inf files or so, you will get a prompt telling you it might be harmfull and it will force installation. Might be the solution?
The culprit is definitely software-sided.
Does the mount internal storage (mtp) work?
Would this be easier in Linux? I could pop open my Ubuntu VM and do this if it'd be easier?
Beyond that, are you telling me to try and install the drivers from the driver files created by the Samsung vendor .exe?
I have tried to 'mount USB storage' from recovery, but it doesn't seem to do anything. /system /cache /data /factory are all mounted ATM and nothing is showing.
You've already got more advanced advice than I can offer but when I tried to update to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4, I couldn't get my windows computer to see my device. I was trying the adb fastboot but it I couldn't get it to work.
Wug's toolkit got it all straightened out (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467)[*]. There was an option on his interface that asked whether the device was working properly or not (a!most missed it as a choice). Checked that box and it went through much of the process I had done (installing adb, updating drivers etc). Long story short, it worked.
Where did you see this option? The only thing I see is the Soft Brick/Bootloop option where it will install the factory again. Was it that or somewhere else?
I swear to the Android droid that I tried that before. That seems to be doing what needs to be done, holy crap thanks!
e: I would like to know, however, why fastboot/adp wouldn't work but this would without doing any of the other stuff?

You're right. I confused the heading but choosing that option got my computer and my Nexus "talking." After installing the factory image I think you can then push a cusom ROM to you Nexus (http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...acks/264619-wugs-nexus-toolkit-questions.html).

Problem solved ? I always had less issues with fastboot and adb on Linux you can install a ppa that install for you adb and fastboot
Hovewer if you are using 2.8.2.0 you will need 1.0.32 and the ppa includes 1.0.31 so only adb sideload fails.
