Hello friends! I have put myself between a rock and a hard place.. I bought an n7 to put in my vehicle and was in the process of flashing over autodroid.. Well I had it all setup, windows and nexus tool kit saw the device. I started the flash and the cable was unplugged.. now the device goes right to fastboot menu but windows doesnt recognize it like before. It appears as an unrecognized device. Ive tried everything to force windows to install the drivers and nothing. Any help??

Hi, been lurking around here for a good while now....fantastic website website and I've learned so much but now I have an issue.
For what ever reason my nexus 7 will not boot, I can get into fastboot and have been following the guides to do a full factory restore through fastboot. Everything goes fine until is comes to "Sending System" then just.....stops. I have used the nexus toolkit and also the official sdk drivers and fastboot contained there. I only have an old laptop as my main pc for some reason does not recognise the nexus.
I have tried alternative USB cable too.
Does anyone have any other advice.
Also the device is complete stock no custom rom has been installed so no custom recovery available.
I really appreciate any help.
Cheers!
Okay well ive managed to get it back alive!
used a new laptop and usb cable and it all seems to be fine now!
Now back to my original issue...windows 8 is pissing me around and wont recognise the bloody thing!
Any ideas?
Try a search, shouldn't be hard to find what others have done with Windows 8 difficulties...

Go to Device Manager, show hidden devices and uninstall any Android or ADB related devices that you have. Disable USB debugging on your Nexus, then plug it into your PC and see if it's recognized. If it is, then re- enable USB debugging, then go to Device Manager and reinstall the Google USB drivers to get ADB support back.
Thanks for the advice, first thing I did was try searching....I have tried countless methods suggested but nothing works its like windows cant find the drivers. In the device manger its recognised but no diver installs no matter what I do. If I force the manual driver install it fails!? I have tried the Naked drivers, the SDK even making sure the media components of windows are installed properly
I'm having one heck of a problem here. So I've got my Nexus 7, on stock Android, but rooted and unlocked.
I wanted to try Paranoid Android, so I installed the TeamWin Recovery using the Nexus Root Toolkit, then flashed the ROM and wiped cache/dalvik. I tried to boot into the new ROM, but it just stayed on the boot animation. So I looked up the issue, and the solution seemed to be return to stock Android, then flash Paranoid Android again.
So I tried to use the 'Flash Stock and unroot functionality' of the Nexus Root Toolkit, which proceeded fine until the copying of 'system' onto the device... This lasted for about an hour without progress, so I decided to try again with a different version of stock Android. This too didn't work.
So then I (foolishly) rebooted the tablet. But when I got back to fast boot, it didn't show up in Windows (on either of the two machines I have here, and with two cables that have both worked previously, in multiple USB ports). The specific error is that it shows up as an unknown device (which is fine) but also in the device manager there is error 43, which states that the USB has malfunctioned so it has stopped.
For that reason, it's impossible for me to connect it to a computer or even re(install) the proper drivers for it. And as it doesn't have a working OS, i can't get to ADB either. So right now I can't think of anything that will work - no fast boot, no recovery, no connection to a PC.
Any ideas?
Really, no ideas? Come on XDA Developers, you're my only hope <3
Hi there!
ive got the same issue and i can tell what is NOT working to fix this problem:
deleting ALL usb drivers from pc and installing adb drivers, windows troubleshoot and nrt
i'm just like confused but i think it's all windows fault, if i could i would trie on linux or any other pc os
My problem is basically getting my nexus 7 to connect to the pc... This is what I've done. and what happends...
When I first connected it, I got no message at all, and nothing happened, then I changed the cables around, I changed the USB Pports... and by some mysterious wounder I found a combo of pad, port and cable that made my nexus go your connected as MEdia Device... BUT my computer wont see it.. hmm.. changed it to camera mode, and still nothing. Then I turned off USB Debug. Still nothing, but wen I turned it back on, I got the message that I was connected, and I got to install some drivers, and NExus popped up as a camera in windows 8... Started up the nexus toolkit thingy (I love simplicity) And there it popped up.. rebooted to fastboot, and no luck... windows wont recognize the damn driver. And I have done everything I can think of except install linux and try it there... IT wont connect in Fastboot mode, Not a chance... I've tried to unindatll all the drivers, and their files. everything I can think of... I've followed like 20 diffrendt howto s on the same problem, and no luck...
So how would a guy like me go about doing this in linux... is there a tool made for it? Do I need to do it all by commands? Is there a howto?
In my win8 64bit the nexus 7(2012) does show up as a portable device, but MTP works and there's no issue with sending or pulling files. currently it's running stock kitkat 4.4 (KRT16S).
like you I suspect it's a driver issue with windows. If you could locate the device on device manager (try View\Devices by connection and look under PCI Express Root Complex and comb for USB Host Controller\USB Root Hub\Generic USB Hub), delete the entry for Nexus7 and scan for hardware changes again. This forces the system to look for correct driver(s) for your nexus.
Some guides on updating drivers are in fact concerned with the ADB interface, which is needed for USB debugging. In your case, if it's just accessing the internal storage of your Nexus you want to solve, those info may not be relevant.

Installing fresh SDK won't hurt.

Basically I would like to have ¤.¤ installed on my Tablet. Right now I have 4.2.2 SmoothROM installed, and whilst this works for me, I'd like to get the update.
In the past, I used the Toolkit to root and install stuffies... Until the last update to SmoothROM wheres I used GooManager thingy...
When I started this I got the Tablets to connect using PTP whilest in Android, but not in Fastboot mode. So I downloaded the 4.4.kitkat Offisial ROM and tried to install that in recovery, after a full wipe, BUT that ended in me having to install SmoothROM again. And now the Tablet wont connect at all... I have deleted all drives, and reinstalled them... I've tried 3 diffrent Wondows USB driver, but no luck there... I've tried like 5 diffrent USB data cables, in all 4 of my USB ports, on 2 diffrent machines, both win 7 and win 8... AND still no luck... now all the machine says that it cannot identfy the device...
Tomorrow, I will end up installing linux, and try there... At the moment I loathe all things called windows drivers...!!!!
EDIT:
Great news... I found a cable, I havent used in a long time. THis is the original cable that came with the Nexus, and I havent used it in a long time because it had some bad connections. Felt like the plug was loose, but now it made the whole thing work without any problems at all...
So I found the cable, used USBDeView to delete all drivers assossiated with the nexus. plugged it in while in fastboot, and BANG installed. rebooted it, and BANG installed.
My phone was updated to 5.1 a week ago. Its stock not rooted. I was watching netflix and it got stuck so I pressed power button 10-15 seconds to turn it off. Tried to turn it on and now it only boots into bootloader .Blank screen if I try to open recovery. I am using windows 8.1 ,tried to install universal naked drivers and Skipsoft unified android toolkit but still my computer does not detect my phone. So I cannot do anything without my pc detecting my phone. Please help!.

Does your PC even detect that you plugged in your phone? A notification sound?

Is that also running Windows 8.1? I don't have experience with 8.1 but I've heard it causes problems detecting devices. Try Windows 7, if it still doesn't pick up a sound, check your USB drivers under Device Manager. Make sure 'Google Nexus ADB is listed.'

I tried it with windows 7 too , no sound or whatsoever. I am guessing internal sd card is dead or something.

I'm assuming you are on stock ROM with locked bootloader? It's possible when you manually powered down your phone it corrupted your ROM and recovery along with it.
This is a long shot but try to uninstall skipsoft and naked drivers. Install Android SDK. Have a read through this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro. If you can get fastboot to register then your phone may be saved yet. Or if you already tried all this and it still doesn't work then there's nothing more I can assist you with. Good luck.

Just FYI, on Windows 8.1, the issue you heard about had to do with MS pushing an Asus Generic USB Driver update which was the cause of the issue. Here is the fix: http://www.eightforums.com/drivers-...usb-issue-since-last-windows-8-1-updates.html
Hi guys,
I tried to move some files to my phone today, however when I plugged in the phone to my PC, it would only show the virtual drive with drivers. Installed those and reconnected, but to no avail. The phone just doesn't show up. In device manager it's shown as MTP device and when connecting with ADB enabled, "Marshall London ADB Android Device". I've done countless reinstalls of drivers but nothing has worked so far. Tried on a laptop running windows 8.1 but still nothing happens (PC runs windows 10 Education). Followed mutiple guides on installing the drivers, but never has the device type window (after manualy choosing a driver) shown an android device option. All help is appreciated.
Phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked and on 2.2.1 (5.1.1)
Model is ONE A2003.
It has worked before, when putting files on it a few months or even weeks ago.
