Help with adb - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I need a little help. I am trying to install a rom on my phone. USB debugging is enabled I am currently running the new 7.1 that just came out. ADB sees the phone what it is booted up. However it will not see the phone in bootloader. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, manually installing the drivers. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Adb doesn't work in bootloader, you have to use fastboot commands, such as "fastboot devices", etc.

so I upgraded to ICS K1

I was able to use the AOSP Stock without any issues, however I am not able to figure out how to root to install the CWM. The ADB command is not working from my computer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
If it's khanning88's ROM, try running the terminal commands as noted on the 1st post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808017 and it should work.
I also had problems running adb because after enabling USB debugging, windows didn't recognize the adb connection. i uninstalled drivers, put my device into debugging mode and reconnected. All problems were solved.

Nexus is stuck/frozen

Hey! I did something completely stupid. I cleared everything on the Nexus 4 and when I mean everything I Mean EVERYTHING. There is no OS and it is not even recognizable as USB device. I tried installing different drivers, different cords, restarting etc...
There is no OS as it sticks on Google and when you go to recovery and click reboot it says there is no OS would you like to continue.
I can get into Fastboot and Recovery mode no problem but that's as far as I can get. I can't push ADB since usb isn't recognized and can't do fastboot command since again usb isn't regonized.
SO help how do i flash a stock rom or get out of this hole??? Please don't tell me drivers I've tried every driver out there. Windows doesn't seem to want to acknoledge them.

I'd suggest downloading a custom ROM and flashing it, or going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and downloading the factory image and flashing it.

Soft brick, but can't even get drivers to install

I was trying to install the October security updates on my rooted 6P and thought I did so successfully. However, when it rebooted, it just hung on the Google screen for an hour and I tried to investigate. It appears that I no longer have a recovery or OS and that all I can do is go into the bootloader and reboot the bootloader.
I'm using a Windows 10 64-bit laptop with two USB ports and a USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker. When I started this process, I was able to get my device to appear when using -adb devices-, but now it won't any longer. I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers, both manually and by using both Android Studio and SDK manager (like in Heisenburg's Rooting instructions, post 1, Prerequsites: paragraph 4), but nothing will help it appear on my devices list.
As I understand it, I need to enable USB debugging on my phone, but since I can't boot, that seems not to be possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched dozens of websites looking for suggestions but nothing I do seems to get my phone to appear on the devices list.
Use fastboot from the bootloader instead of ADB. Use fastboot to flash the factory image. Same thread you mentioned.
ADB does NOT work from the bootloader. Only fastboot does.
You use ADB while booted into Android or in recovery. From the bootloader, you use fastboot.
Try again with "fastboot devices" instead of "adb devices"
Hate to say it, but you wasted a lot of your time reinstalling those drivers. If you had it working earlier, I can't see it just stopping. You just used the wrong command. ADB will only ever work booted to the OS or in recovery. Never from the bootloader, even if correctly installed. Same for fastboot, only from the bootloader and never from recovery or booted into Android, even though everything is installed correctly.
Read over that thread you mentioned a few more times. :angel:
Amazing. I have no idea how I could have not known that. Thank you for your help.
Glad you got it sorted!

Fastboot Not Recognized

I am not able to get Fastboot to reconginze my One Plus 6T. I have reinstalled the drivers numerous times to no avail. I have changed ports to no avail. I have change USB cables to no avail. Is anyone else having a similar problem and if so, any solution?
BTW, I am using a Windows 10 computer.
Also, I was able to install the International Version on my TMO variant One Plus 6T via the MSM tool method, so the drivers appear to be installed correctly.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Delete the drivers you have installed, boot into fastboot and have Windows automatically detect and install for you. Have you tried that? What source did you get your fastboot drivers from?

Msmdownload drivers are not the same at all, they are Qualcom drivers. Uninstall your fastboot drivers and let windows install them

Oh man, I had issues getting my 6t to connect to my PC when I first got my 6t. The answer for me was to plug my phone into a USB 2.0 port on the BACK of my PC instead of the front USB ports my PC has. Try using the back USB ports and let me know if that works for you!
Thank you all. I will try these suggestions later today and report back.
I tried the suggestions and still no success in fastboot connecting with my device. Thanks again for the suggestions.
After trying to multiple times reinstall the drivers, manually selecting "Android Bootloader Interface" did the trick for me on win10:
wtfandroid.com/fix-fastboot-device-not-recognised-problem/
Issue resolved. Selected Android Bootloader Interface in Device Manager and fastboot recognized my device. Unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP and Magisk. Root achieved.
Thank you all!!!

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't think to check that.
it is solved for me oneplus 6t not recognized in fastboot
{ solved for me } hello brother, i got this problem also my head was about to explosing, install/uninstall drivers and adb drivers also, without any success, when the device is on normal mod the adb terminal can recognize it and in fastboot mod not recognize my devie (the list empty).
i was trying to install TWRP, so i have reboot my device to fastboot mod, and i didn't think about List of devices (because it not show my device) i wrote the comand to install TWRP directly so it success to install 100%,
so no need to write : adb devices when your device is in fastboot mod, it will not show you in the list, but you can apply what you want normally
good luck

Hello. I am having the same issues. But can you provide more steps on how to install TWRP. Can you provide the command/steps used to directly install TWRP?
Thank you.

This is why I use Linux in my LOS Install Guide. You can boot Linux from a USB without installing it. Fastboot and ADB just work, without any drivers. Install TWRP, reboot and your PC will be back to windows. My guide covers installing TWRP.
Really need help. I'm going in circles and wasting a lot of time:
I'm attempting to root a OP6T A6013. Its already been unlocked.
My device is recognized when powered up as an ADB device.
But when i boot into the bootloader it isnt recognized as a fastboot device, and my laptop (Win 8.1) shows ""device malfunctioned. USB not recognized". I've also been trying to install the OP driver but I'm not sure its working correctly. But would that cause the problem with recognizing fastboot?
I've root my OP7Pro (twice, actually) and though I had some driver issues then eventually figured it out. But I never had issues with fastboot.
Any tips or direction?
Hey all , replying to share my solution to this exact problem I was having..
My OP6T (T-Mobile converted to international) was not showing in fastboot devices but showed in ADB.. after hours of searching google and XDA , I ended up just plugging my 6T into another computer and it worked! , instantly recognized my device without hassle.
So just a fyi, it could be something simple as switching USB ports or even another computer.
hopefully this helps if someone get's stuck at this point.
I had this issue with a OP8Pro... I went to Windows Update and selected View Optional Updates and found Android Bootloader Device on the list. I selected this to download, and then fastboot worked perfectly.

sudo fastboot oem unlock worked in linux in first shot while windows was unable to recognize the device.
Thanks a ton.
EDIT : Just to add .. this linux was in VM

I agree. Linux is far better when flashing android phones

This worked for my OnePlus 9 Pro running Windows 10. Happy modding!

Can't get USB Debug drivers to work.

A little history. I have rooted several other brands of tablets, so I am not new at this. Even thogh I am not a programmer by any stretch of the word. My Pixel C drivers work fine in normal mode, I can see the storage as a drive, no problem. I can transfer files back and forth. But, when I boot it into fastboot mode, it will not see it. It is listed as an unknown device in the device manager of Windows 10. I have tried to install the drivers, but they say not found. And this is the driver from the Android website. I'm at my wit's end. I'm not a newbie at windows, either. But, I need suggestions to get this to work. BTW this is the latest version of Windows 10 1903. And I have tried every solution I have found on google and on this website. TIA
Ok, fixed that by selecting a driver from a list of drivers so now I have ADB drivers. I have another issue which I will do some research on if not.....I'LL BE BACK.
What is your goal?
Do you want to use adb or fastboot?
Is the bootloader unlocked, have you enabled usb debugging in the developers menu (hidden) etc
Ok, as I said before, I figured it out. And yes, the bootloader was unlocked and yes USB debugging was enabled. I got everything
working and I am now running Android 9. Thanks for the reply, though.
