You have to disable driver signature checks as windows won't allow them, if you know how then upon boot go to troubleshoot settings (If you do not dual boot then you are forced to pull in your installation CD and go to Repair Computer section)
Then you go to advanced settings and after you hit boot in Safe Mode, reboot and then install the drivers and after that you need to reboot again to go to normal mode.

Same situation as mine. I successfully installed the drivers by disabling integrity check for drivers. But whenever I'm flashing, it aborts and then a pop-up appears saying that my device is not recognized

Help please!

In Windows 8, I have problems to flash my Xperia, I use Delphi, Eclipse, etc, the Delphi debug not work fine, I returned to Windows 7 and Flash tool work again, for now, I stay in W7.
Sory for my bad english

unbrick

I bought a nexus 10 (personal sale)
It was running cm 10.1
I disregarded the things I normally should do, like make a back up etc, and simply went into setting, downloaded a cm 10.2 nightly and hit install.
Now my nexus is stuck at the start up screen.
I can get into TWRP, and wipe cache or anything else, but that doesn't help.
I started to try to solve this by myself. I had the idea that fastboot might be the solution but I am not too versed in that.
in my command prompt window when I run "fastboot devices" it gets stuck at "waiting for device" which i think means that drivers are not installed on my pc.
I used this toolkit to install drivers, but i guess that didn't work

Any help would be greatly appreciated
EDIT :
So I was finally able to install the drivers. I first has to disable driver signature enforcement.(the internet is great!)

Are your problems solved now, or do you still need to unbrick? Please clarify .

[Q] Accidently Deleted OS

I have a Nexus 7 Wifi Tab.
It was rooted and I was flashing Android 4.4.4 Facory images on it.
It was supposed to restart automatically but it didn't so I manually powered it on.
The Google Logo Appeared and it Stayed there, There was also a start icon on the top just like there is in the bootloader mode.
I got it into bootloader mode after waiting for some time and I did a format of the OS ACCIDENTALLY.
Now when I restart it form TWRP it gives a NO OS WARNING and if I still restart it The Google Logo appears with the Start Icon on top and a small "boot failed" text on the top left.
PLZ HELP.
PLEASE SEE THE VIDEO OF THIS ON THE LINK IN THE ATTACHED PDF FILE:::
I CAN ACCESS THE BOOTLOADER and RECOVERY MODE BUT MY LAPTOP(WINDOWS) DOESN'T READ DEVICE.

You may be in what comminus calls "driver hell"
Cue the dun-dun-dun.
As of this post, I am in driver hell as well (that rhyme). For now, I suggest you carefully read the driver installation instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 - CAREFULLY. The video linked in the thread shows @tetakpatak going through the whole process. In the video description, tetapak made a "SDK - ADB - BOOTLOADER CHECKLIST". I recommend you follow this, as it helps with driver installation. I am following this too, by the way.
People have commented on the video saying that they were able to unbrick their Nexus 7.
THERE IS HOPE FOR US! (I hope)
I am also a kid who is going through the depresssion of losing his Nexus.

A problem again
I Told you that my device can't be accesed by my computer.

Buying Something Else
I've decided that if I can't fix My NEXUS 7 Then I will Buy the "HP SLATE 7"
It's Features mostly are that of the Nexus 7 exept that its display is more of a "blue Hue".

Don't worry mate, you will probably fix that without problems.
What you can do, you could for example run fastboot or ADB commands directly from Ubuntu, no drivers are needed there. It is really easy, check my little thread here under short section "INSTALL ONLY FASTBOOT":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726287
In the section beyond is described several ways how can you run Ubuntu on Windows computer.
Alternatively, I must ask if you have SDK on your Windows computer? You will need fastboot working so if you install Google USB driver properly, you should just open cmd, cd to your platform-tools folder and connect your tab in bootloader mode via USB cable and wait until it installs your N7 unit for fully working ADB and fastboot.
After that, you will be able to run fastboot commands. Here is excellent guide by our forum mate comminus, I suppose you already know it:

Hello! Maybe flash stock rom with Odin help! If not work, try to flash twrp with ADB PlatformTools! Download it and un-zip to your PC C:/ (root folder) .
Download your twrp recovery and rename it to "twrp.img" and put it to the PlatformTools folder. Connect the phone to the computer. Open a cmd window from the PlatformTools folder with press Shift+right mouse click on space and write the command lines.
adb devices (enter)
adb reboot bootloader (enter)
fastboot devices (enter)
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (enter)
Maybe it help.

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
