So there are a lot of conflicting tutorials regarding Custom Rom installation on a Axon 7 mini Android 7.1/Europe
The Zadig and Tulip route seems to be the way to go?
How do i get Zadig to recognize the phone tho. if i boot into edl via adb, the phone is not recognized (no prompt to install qualcomm drivers, zadig cant find device etc)
i´m using the original cable idirectly connected to usb.
are there other prerequisities? i remember vaguely that i had to boot into some different windows mode with my old nexus 5. is it something like this?
Please help

Hi guys,
I am trying over 4 hours to flash a recovery image on my gt540.
I have installed a fastboot rom via kdz updater.
Then I turn on the device in fastboot mode to install the recovery using command prompt but in this stage my pc does not recognize the phone. It says "waiting for device".
I have tried every driver I found, but I cannot make it work.
I am running windows 7 x64.
Can anybody help me? I am confused, I don't know what to do.
hmm looks like you dont have the drivers installed. im also using windows 7 x64. i got my drivers by plunging in the phone and waiting for the computer to recognize it and install the drivers from windows update. You can try rebooting the PC then change USB ports. Give each port at most 5 mins to try recognize the phone if it fails then change ports sooner or later the computer will get the drivers
the driver for fastboot is called googlee fastboot interface or something liek that, maybe you can try these http://dottech.org/android/26188/usb-adb-and-fastboot-drivers-for-windows-for-all-android-phones/
Man you are great! I was searching all day for this!
Thank you very very much!! I managed to flash a good rom!
Thanks again!
I updated to 4.3, which nuked my TWRP recovery. I have been trying to get TWRP back on my Nexus 10 so I can reroot. The problem is, my computer refuses to see it in Fastboot mode no matter what I do. The drivers are the main issue. I can't get ADB to detect my device in Fastboot.
I have followed all of the instructions on the Wugfresh tool exactly and I still have the same issue. By default, my Nexus shows up as a "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in Fastboot mode. It shows up as an ADB device in normal boot. USB debugging is enabled.
I have tried all of the drivers: Raw, PDAnet, universal, and Samsung. All are giving me the same result. I even plugged my Nexus 10 into another computer and tried the process from scratch and that computer also sees it as a "Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device". Changing the device manually to something like an Android ADB device will still not allow Fastboot to see it.
I'm all out of ideas here. I have uninstalled everything, removed all USB devices, rebooted, tried different computers, etc. Nothing is working. What am I missing?
Update: After several hours, I managed to get my computer to recognize it in fastboot long enough to flash the new TWRP manually and then got rooted from there. What a nightmare!
I am still having this problem. I tried all your steps and I am still having the problem.

howdy y'all,
so im trying to help out my buddy. he currently has no os installed as well, but can boot to bootloader and twrp recovery 2.5. no idea how he has that but I figure I could just mount some zip files and be on my way. Currently whenever we try to do anything in twrp(ie wipe/mount) it is just hung up on unable to mount /radio even when all I have checked is system. I can't use adb or fastboot as far as I'm aware of; I've tried to use the unified android toolkit from skipsoft but its no dice since I was never able to turn on debug mode to begin with? So yeah any help would be much appreciated
oh and I know its not my cable or usb ports since the tablet can still charge.
Also this is the 2012 N7
Hi,
You'll need to get adb and fastboot working, best approach is to wipe and flash factory images through fastboot but may also need to use adb for e2fsck

See this on getting fastboot working, best of luck!

I don't understand how I'm supposed to get fastboot working since I was never able to enable debug mode on the device in the past let alone now that it has nothing installed. And from what I can understand from the instructions I need the drivers to be installed after I plug in while under debug mode for the sdk to work.
I attempted to install the nexus 7 driver from here: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Nexus+7&os=32
However it looks like I already have the files on my computer from a previous attempt with Skipsoft's Android toolkit?
Because of this I'm unsure of how to move forward with this fastboot business.
fastboot doesn't need debugging on or an os installed, just a functional bootloader
You will probably need to manually update the drivers yo the proper ones
I see, how do I go about manually installing this driver then? I'm assuming I need to go through some sort of windows device tree? Or can I just extract a file somewhere?
You can download usbdview (just search Google for a free download) to see what driver is selected when you plug in your tab easily
Or you will need to go into device manager and select to manually update the drivers, don't allow windows to select but manually choose it
There are loads of instructional videos on YouTube for you if needed
I know this is a super late response, but I never managed to get around to trying to find out how to do a manual install. Just tried today using the Nexus Root Toolkit v.1.9.9. I still can't figure out how to manual install the driver because my issue is that windows doesn't recognize anything is plugged in, and all of these guides do state that I should have had usbdebugging checked. I can't seem to find a specific guide that correlates to setting fastboot up exclusively like you mentioned.
Also, using usbdeview like you said I could see that I have installed a google nexus adb interface, a google galaxy nexus adb interface, as well as the mtp usb driver.
Sorry for all the handholding, but this really is an issue that I've never have encountered and I can't seem to manage.
Hey again
There is a fastboot guide in the first post I linked you to
If you can't get fastboot to recognize device in bootloader mode it is possible the USB port is broken, but more likely an issue with drivers, cord or PC
So try a new USB cable, or a different PC
Try try again with drivers, uninstall and reinstall
Unfortunately this type of trouble shooting is hard to do without device in hand
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 :/
Download wugfresh toolkit... look In the section of driver installation... They'll help you out

As I said, I already tried the driver thing in Wug's Toolkit. Also my Windows allows unsigned drivers.
Bump :/

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.

Might be windows 8/8.1 giving you driver signature grief. Try the Universal adb drivers:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Windows 10 Pro X64
A2017U B19
OEM Unlock On
USB Debugging On
I've installed the Qualcomm drivers. Reboot into EDL Mode
Connect USB Cable
Shows up as Handset Diagnostic Mode DFU
Won't recognize the driver when I manually point it to the driver folder
If I unplug my ethernet cord things get interesting
Shows up as some unknown Qualcomm Device
Still won't take the drivers no matter what I do.
What the heck do I do!?!?!

You are on DFU mode, installing that driver won't help. You have to disassemble the phone.
Follow my DFU Unbrick guide on the Guides section.
