N1 Windows Drivers problems

Hello,
After few months with my n1, finally I decide to root and put some roms.
Even when I already have done with my magic, tatoo, and hero, I can´t handle the driver problems in my nexus one.
I could unlock the bootloader. My problems came after this step.
Ive tested few things, but I will put my last experience.
In a just-formatted windows XP sp3, I downloaded the last android SDK and Ive downloaded the usb driver (R3).
After this, I connect my nexus one phone and it asked me for the drivers, I gave the path and it was successfully installed.
I unplugged the USB cable, turn the phone off and restart in debug mode, bootlader. Plug the cable, my PC reconigzed "something", and install some driver. "Unknowledge device". So, I tried to update the driver, giving the path to the USB-driver folder (inside of android-sdk-windows folder). And nothing. It tells me that there is not a better driver for my device. And I can´t connect to my phone. Of course Ive tried uninstalling the driver and nothing. (always from control panel).
I dont know what to do. Please, give me some suggestion because im totally frustrated.
Thank you

ATT N1's can run CyanogenMod without any real trouble. The commands and guides remain the same as the Tmo N1
THE ONLY CAVEAT IS: YOU CANNOT USE CM 5.0.5.1 or 5.0.5.2 as your initial install base, as these releases were bugged. Use 5.0.5 here
For Nexus' you DO NOT NEED SUPERBOOT and steps are super easy.
Setup ADB/FASTBOOT
Fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-blah-blah.img
Reboot into recovery
NANDROID
WIPE!!!! (if you dont wipe you get boot loops)
Flash CM
Flash Google (optional)
Reboot
Fastboot flash radio radio.img (unnecessary on ATT n1's)

Thank you by your post, it was very usefull and I could change my drivers, so I have access in debug mode to my n1. Even with this, Ive tried to apply the root with modaco´s files, using the original ERE27 pack, but, it just stucks in "copying...".
Maybe the problem is that I was instructed about I should execute the .bat, in bootloader moder (no in fastboot). I have the adb commands with fastboot mode, but, when I do: fastboot devices in bootloader mode, I dont have any device. Maybe the tutorial that I followed its wrong and should I execute directly in fastboot not in bootloader.
Anyway, Ive quoted your post, because when you say that isnt necessary, the instructions of recovery installation, says about its a "pre-requirement"
You can check it in /showthread.php?t=611829 As new user, i cant put the link to the thread of RA recovery, sorry
I dont want to mess with this, because the consequence of bad procedure.
Thank you by your help and patience.

you might want to make sure you're using the main USB ports, not those extension ones or those that are built into PC cases. I used to have the problem with "unrecognised device" because of that.

computer can't find phone in fastboot mode

Hi people
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader to root my nexus s 2.3.3 for 2 days now and have tried everything i can find in all the related threads but my computer wont see the phone when in fastboot mode.
Im getting really fed up as i do not know what to try next.
Anyone had this problem before?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried the PDA.net way to install the drivers for fastboot? Google: PDA net

Yeah I've tried that too but computer does'nt see the phone in fastboot mode so i cannot update the drivers at all.

What do you mean by it cannot see it. Also, what OS are you running? Often times the phone is detected via fastboot when ADB fails (this happens to me all the time).

Hi, when i put the phone in fastboot mode the computer doesnt see the phone in device manager but it does see it when not in fastboot mode. Im running windows 7 64.

Hey man, I had the same issues. It took me a total of 12 hours to root my phone and I tried everything . I was stuck trying to unlock the bootloader for hours. The problem for me was that the driver couldnt be found. I tried the pda net and it kept saying that the drivers were installed. Assuming your using windows, go to devices with the phone plugged in and you should see the device named something different with a yellow exclamation mark..... right click and hit update driver software. Then find the file pdanet and point it to update with that file. If this doesnt work, theres a file in there I believe its called android_usb or android_winusb and you push "have disk" and force install from that file . then it should see your phone. this was the only way i could get it to work was by pushing have disk and pointing it at the actual android 1.0 driver becuase the google usb package didnt have it (at least at the time). Im new to the forum, so bare with me if my directions aren't too great, just thought I'de try to help you out bc it was so frustrating!. Also, here is a good link in the xda forums for you to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875580
also,,,are you getting the "waiting for device" message when you type fastboot oem unlock? these instructions are for if you are experiencing that... Its basically not found becuase there is an android 1.0 driver that you have to force to update. good luck!

Thanks for the replies am now downloading the sdk onto the wifes laptop as hers is win 7 32 so hope there is less issues. fingers crossed.

i did mine with win 7 64 i tried 32 as well but my 64 worked better for me.... i looked at the driver details with my phone plugged in to see what drivers are on there .. you need the wdfcoinstaller , the winusb coinstaller, and the winusb.sys. if you find the device when plugged in to your computer and goto details and then hit update driver and then point it specifically at the android_usb.sys file in the pda net for android folder then it should work. the google drivers thru sdk don't contain this one file and its the one that makes the whole process work. Let me know if this works for you

Have the same drivers installed but computer still doesn't see the phone when in fastboot mode. It worked perfectly on win7 32 on other laptop and I managed to root. still trying to get it to work on win7 64 as this is my main OS.

glad to hear,...just out of curiosity, how did you get it to work on the 32 bit version?? Id like to know for future reference,,, and also are you getting the waiting for device error in fastboot mode?

also, you did make sure to dowload the google usb package and get the right sdk version correct? I cant see any other reason that the phone wouldn't be recognized. I also believe you need usb debugging on

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878786 check out this post... VERY good guide and this is what helped me on the 64 bit 7. it sounds like your missing the fastboot driver which allows the computer to see the device in fastboot mode

On win7 32 it was really easy once all the necessary programs and files were downloaded I first connected the phone switched on in normal mode with USB debug on and installed the drivers. Once in fastboot mode the path for the drivers was already there from the previous driver install I just selected the bootloader driver and the rest is history

which one was the bootloader driver? did you get it from the google usb drivers or the pda net ones?

it was the google usb drivers when i went update drivers on my system the path is
C:\android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
Then go to option 'let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer' Which brings up three options:
Android ADB Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Composite ADB Interface
Choose the Android Bootloader Interface hit next and yes to install.

Ok so on my win7 64 system i think that somewhere along the line i installed the wrong driver and broke the link although i can find the device in fastboot mode in devices and printers\unspecified but there it no option to upgrade drivers

If you can see the phone in fastboot what else do you need?

deleted!!!!!!!!!!

I can see it in fastboot mode but not in device manager where it should be.
I can only see it in devices and printers where there are no driver options.

Okay, so put it in fastboot mode and try to run a fastboot devices real quick.

[Q]Bricked Nexus 7 not recognized on windows Please Help

Hi My nexus 7 was working fine I had a custom rom (paranoidandroid ) tried to upgrade to the latest release and now stays stuck at jelly bean splash screen
ive tried
installing frivers through wugz 1.5
nexus root kit uninstalled reinstalled tried to connect in fastboot mode nothing
I used a windows 7 box and an xp box updated usb drivers on both pcs nothing its like the port on the nexcus 7 was broken or something please help!
The only way I see out is if maybe I can connect through linux but not sure how to I do have a laptop running backtrack I could use

Wrong forum for this but:
Sounds like you tried to install on top of the existing ROM without wiping.
Can you get into fastboot? if so open a command prompt from the folder you have fastboot.exe installed and type "fastboot devices". do you see your serial number? If so you're fine! Flash a custom recovery you can easily wipe/reset and wipe dalvik cache and install a new ROM.

I can get into fastboot and it doesnt recognize it ive tried everything different cables etc
also i was upgrading from 1.9.2 to 1.9.5 so a full wipe was not required
My main problem is i cant connect cant list devices

so if you're in fastboot mode and you type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" nothing happens?
I don't see how installing a ROM would cause these problems.

I dont see either I dont get it and I cant get into recovery if i try that it gets stuck at google screen
if i try to boot then I just get stuck at splash
tried different systems no dice

Put your device in fastboot mode. Do not connect it yet.
Run wugz 1.5.2 (that's the latest I think) and press the "Full Driver Installation guide".
Check the instructions to remove your current drivers. Remove them.
connect your device
Reinstall the drivers manually (not via the toolkit). Use the naked drivers from here.
Download the factory image from here and flash it via the toolkit.
root it, flash cwm do whatever you want to do :silly:
profit

You need to install the drivers. Do you know how to get into your device manager in windows and install drivers for devices connected? You need to dl th wugz that regunus told you about above. After installing you can tell your computer to search in that folder to install drivers. When you open your device manager do you see anything yellow with a question mark. Once you have the drivers installed correctly then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 and you will be golden. Been through this a couple times already

Also when you try to manually install drivers for the devices that are not recognized in the device manager make sure to guide the driver install wizzard in the folder Universal_Naked_Driver_0.7 (or wherever you unzipped your drivers) and NOT in a specific directory like "amd64" or "i386".
If all drivers are succesfully installed, your computer will see the device in fastboot mode and your problems are gone ^_^

You can install the toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 then use it to install the drivers, then install temp cwm, then reboot into recovery, do a full wipe and try to install 1.95 again. You can use the toolkit to install a rom as well if you download it to your computer. Hope it helps.You always have to wipe cache and dalvic cache when flashing any rom. No wipe means you don't need to do a data/factory reset.

Check the Device Manager in the control panel to make sure all the drivers have been installed correctly. After that we'll see

Regunus tried no avail.
I reformatted my laptop dual boot windows 7 32 bit.
Tried all previous suggestions its not recognized, me and Regunus came to the conclusion that the port can't be bad Cuz it charges yet it does not recognize it.
I just finished installing adb fastboot on ubuntu if I go to terminal and list devices nothing if I connect my Galaxy sIII it shows up so again not being recognized while other devices do.
Current state :
Fastboot start goes to paranoid android jelly bean splash
And hangs
Fastboot recovery stays stuck at Google screen
I have reciept and all to bad I can't return may just post on ebay

Same Issue
I'm having the same problem, was this ever resolved?
Edit: I was having the same problem. Downloaded 'Nexus 7 Toolkit' and ran the 'install driver' option again (option 1). Device was recognized again.

No such thing as no way out. Keep find a way to connect and you're all set. Have you tried force reboot to fastboot and then enter recovery? I have similar problem once with my nexus s and i finally find a way after 10 hours of constant googling

I've tried nexus 7 toolkit
I reboot into fastboot mode and select recovery and it goes to Google and hangs I've tried on different post nothing at all

Bricked & Unseen...

Ok, here goes my story.
Just a week ago from the date this was posted, I decided to update my recovery (TWRP) through ROM Installer. Surprisingly, I didn't see TWRP at all in the "Recoveries" section of the application. Stock, ClockworkMod Touch, regular Clockworkmod (no touch), and unofficial Clockworkmod were available - from what I can remember. I decided to use Clockworkmod (no touch) to install Paranoid Android. Coming from OmniROM, I factory reset and flashed the .zip.
Flashing ended in error with Status 7. A while before I had used ClockworkMod Touch to try another ROM and had no such issue. I ignored the error and restarted my tablet hoping that it would still boot fine. It rebooted, gave me the Google logo for about 5-10 seconds and automatically rebooted into recovery.
I saw a bypass for Status 7. Removing some lines from the updater-script was the solution. Having no access to my Nexus 7 storage, this bypass is unusable
I tried flashing a new recovery using flashboot fastboot. After verifying that I had my drivers installed (Universal ADB by Koush), I opened up adb in the command line (Windows) as an administrator. I could not see my device. I tried the drivers from Asus, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and a different USB cord, but same results. I tried on a different computer. Still no detection.
Systems used: Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (x64), Windows 7 (x86)
I tried using Wug's Toolkit and used Flash Stock + Unroot, since it didn't need USB Debugging enabled. Same results...
I also tried plugging in another Android phone (LG Optimus Dynamic II) to see if Windows would recognize it. Windows recognized it, installed drivers automatically, and was recognized in ADB immediately. This practically unknown phone (XDA doesn't have a section for it yet) could be recognized, but my world famous Nexus 7 2012 can't be seen.
I have absolutely no idea of what to do now...

Are you on the bootloader screen when trying to use fastboot?

Yes. Every time I use fastboot, I am in the bootloader.
I'm not new to this at all, so say whatever you need to ^^
The main problem is my PC not recognizing my Nexus 7 through adb. Again, I have used multiple cables with no success.
The computer I am using for this runs Windows 7 x64. I have only tried using USB 2.0 ports to connect my tablet.
Thank you!

Might try deleting the drivers and starting over. I had some issues with adb drivers for both the N7 and the kindle fire on windows 7 as well, but eventually got both working by doing this several times.
I'm assuming you ticked the option for softbricked when trying the flash stock option? If not try again and check that option.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 has a section on driver installation with good info and links too.
Hope that helps. Best of luck man, getting the adb drivers working properly seems to be finicky sometimes in my experience, and i'm no stranger to PC and software troubleshooting either.

ADB doesn't work

When I plug in my phone to my PC the only thing that happens is it begins charging. Doesn't show signs of adb working, only thing that happens beside charging is my pc says it's an Unknown Device.
I tried all sorts of things, like USB Debugging on and off, MTP on and off, PTP on and off, I think even fastboot doesn't work. I tried to install all kinds of drivers (official, unofficial, uninstalling them afterwards if they didn't work ofc), I tried Wug's toolkit, nothing. I tried killing adb server then restarting it - nope. I even tried all of my USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0. Also tried 3 different roms/kernels (L dev preview, Purity and Mahdi), didn't work aswell.
Things seem pretty hopeless at this point :/

If it still says Unknown Device on your PC, its a driver issue. Personally I use the Google usb driver, that page also has instructions on how to install the driver. Try uninstalling whatever drivers you have installed right now, then install Google usb driver carefully following instructions. Fastboot needs bootloader mode, so make sure your phone is in that mode before trying a fastboot command. I use the Minimal adb installer to install adb/ fastboot tools.

Fastboot actually works, only ADB doesn't. I use the Android SDK to install adb/fastboot and I tried Google USB drivers and also Universal ADB. I tried the drivers from Wug's Nexus Toolkit and then LG drivers, same old story :/
Edit: I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 using clean install, still same problem.
