Need Help Manual Fastboot Driver Installation

Hello
Sorry if this was a very noob topic
I done lots of flashing new ROM or back in stock process but i almost gave up this time
My phone status are
No OS
TWRP installed
Can boot to recovery
PC can't recognize the phone
Typing ADB devices shows empty list
Typing Fastboot devices also shows empty lines
30% battery left
I recently try to install the Lollipop version for my phone but it turns out that the zip are behaving like OTA (yep the title of the zips are OTA)
What i mean is it returned my recovery to stock
Without thinking much further i did 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP2810.img' thing (Yes i rename recovery image that way so it will be more convenience for me) and wipe all partition in the phone through the TWRP without problems
One thing i forgot is to "refresh" all ADB and Fastboot driver for my phone on the PC
Now my phone states are "No OS" and "PC doesn't recognize my phone" wether in ADB (obvious cause i can't boot with no OS so no USB debugging for me) and Fastboot (Enter Bootloader is OK, enter TWRP is OK too)
I already try the WUG step for installing the needed driver but no success since my PC can't recognize my phone
Try on 4 PC at my office and all of them are ignoring my phone
What should i do now, please, any help will be appreciated since its already the time i ussualy already at home
Thank You Very VERY MUCH for any help I can get.

Okay, here's what you do.
Download the ADB drivers first, from here [URL="link"]http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Extract the zip.
Once you're done extracting, boot your phone into bootloader mode, plug in USB, should show up as an unrecognized device.
Device manager from control panel, select device, properties, driver, update device driver, browse my computer, let me pick, all devices, have disk, navigate to where you extracted zip, select inf file, adb interface.
Should work.

Do you happen to know other way around for tricking this Sir?

Please lock this unuseful thread

Before locking the thread, can you repeat all the steps and try with ADB Composite Device instead of ADB Interface?
Also, did you try changing USB ports, sometimes these things get a little troublesome because of faulty USB ports.
Last but not the least, you could also try a change of cables.

Forgot pattern and cannot recover- nexus 4 with android 5+ lollipop

Hello.
I've repaired a nexus 4 screen and digitizer but I got it back because my friend can't recover access from a forgotten pattern lock.
He is running stock android 5 lollipop and he doesn't get the email recovery option when he inputs wrong pattern. I've searched even in google support but I didn't find a solution to recover his photos.
My main concern is to recover files and photos!!! There isn't a reason to suggest a factory reset....
--Phone Status---
Boot loader seems unlocked "Locked state is marked as unlocked in bootloder in red letters" while secure boot is enabled in green letters
USB debugging seems OFF: There is no android device listed in device manager. I only get a music player in disk drives which is empty.
adb devices command in bootloader recognises it
When entering to recovery I get the message "no command" along with the icon of an android under repair.
No dropbox no google+ photos backup
---What I've tried---
UPDATE: Managed to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 I can see the files but since usb flash drive doesn't work I can't copy the files...
Android Device manager: Returns error that the phone is already locked and there is no need to apply new password.
Tried about 30 wrong patterns and it didn't came up the google mail recovery option.
Tried during a phone call to see the files but I only managed to turn on WiFi.

When you say the USB flash drive doesn't work, do you mean the USB port in the phone?

MTP doesn't always work in TWRP, meaning it won't show up as a normal usb drive on a pc. ADB will still work though, you have to set up ADB on your computer, boot into twrp on the phone and use 'adb pull' to copy the files to the computer. On windows you will need to download adb and the drivers, I use http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver

I'm trying to install the drivers for adb but I cannot find the right one.
Edit: Also it cannot be detected from boot loader now. I'll try in a pc that already has been connected and worked.
I have adb and fastboot installed already and worked with this and my own phones.
Edit: It seems to be a lost cause the phone fell down many times. Don't bother maybe I'll solder a usb port first... if it is possible with my less than basic equipment.

There are many methods on the following page,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456
The way I did it was an alternative version of method 5 while in twrp.
Method 5 - alternatively, Mount system in twrp and delete the file /data/system/gesture.key
If it asks for a pattern on boot just try any random pattern it should let you in. I did this when a version before lollipop was installed but there is no reason it shouldn't work on lollipop as the same file is saved in the same location, just checked.
Using adb
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

I'm 63 years old & could do with some help - trying to flash my Moto G4 but no luck

I'm 63 years old & could do with some help - trying to flash my Moto G4 but no luck
Hello folks.
I apologise in advance. I thought something was a good idea, and I said to myself I would give it a try and I won't give up, but I have been at this for about 5 hours now and no progress.
I have a Moto G4 which my wife gave about a year ago. I don't like stock Android and want to install Lineage OS onto it. I understand that first I need to:
1. Unlock my bootloader (done)
2. Install ADB Driver Installer onto my Dell (done)
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot onto my Dell (done)
4. Plug my G4 into my Dell using the correct cable. It seems to work as the ADP Driver Installer / APK Installer recognises it as per the image below
/https://imgur.com/a/NBfrIcZ
5. Open up the command promt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, type adb devices - the device is recognised
6. Here is where the problems start!
(a) At this stage, as soon as I type adb reboot bootloader, the G4 reboots but as it does so it disappears from the ADB Diver Installer / APK Installer
(b) Soon after when I type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then nothing is found, no files or directory or anything. I don't understand what I am doing wrong and am very stuck sadly

Would really appreciate some help!

Great, my pictures don't work. I don't understand why. But basically when I write fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (it is in the same folder as Minimal ADB and Fastboot), it says not found to a bunch of things and no such file or directory.

using fastboot devices the phone is not detected.
installed last official usb drivers (google and oneplus)
Any idea, suggestion or further test that can help?
Thanks

Same problem here. Please help.

Finally I found a working solution.
If you have a laptop you have to disable secure boot.
Then you have to disable signature verification on windows 10 ( How to Enable or Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10 | Tutorials (tenforums.com) ).
I used option 3.
Download Oneplus usb drivers ( Download Latest OnePlus USB Drivers for Windows and Mac (getdroidtips.com) ).
Then connect your phone in fastboot mode & open Device Manager on Windows & look for Other > Android device. If it is found, this means windows 10 is not having proper drivers to recognize fastboot device. Now install "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe" & it will show pop up for installing driver & after accepting(this is blocked due to signature verification in normal situation), Android device will be recognized in fastboot mode.

Thanks man, it worked for me.
Just to complete, after istalling the drivers you can restore signature verification and secure boot on Win 10.
Everything will work fine.

[Guide]Another fastboot/fastbootd driver guide for Windows

Background​When I got my OnePlus 8T (after using Samsung devices and a OnePlus 3T for many years) I could access the phone using adb and, when the phone was in Bootloader mode, using fastboot. But I couldn't access the phone in Fastbootd mode.
I tried lots of different things but none of them worked for me and, worst of all, many of the solutions required downloading files from untrusted sources.
I finally decided to see if the Google USB driver would help and, to my surprise, it fixed the fastbootd problem. So I uninstalled the drivers that were being used for Bootloader mode, the Google driver used for Fastbootd mode,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then did a clean install of the Google USB driver so that I could document the process.
Installation​Without a suitable driver when connected in Bootloader (or Fastbootd mode), my phone shows up under "Other devices" as "Android" with a yellow warning triangle:
I downloaded the Google Windows USB driver from https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb, extracted the contents, and installed the driver by right-clicking on usb_driver/android_winusb.inf and selecting Install:
Next, I booted my phone into Bootloader mode (Note: if Bootloader mode works for you and you didn't want to uninstall the driver, then boot into Fastbootd), found my phone in Device Manager (Other devices), double-clicked it (Android) to pull up the driver details and clicked the Update Driver... button. On the next screen select the second option "Browse my computer for drivers":
And on the next screen I selected "Let me pick from a list of available drivers":
I chose "Androd Device" and clicked on Next:
This brings up the following screen:
(Note: I also have Samsung drivers installed). I clicked on "Google, Inc." under Manufacturer, then "Android Bootloader Interface" from Model and clicked on Next.
I got a warning, to which I replied "Yes":
and the installation completed successfully:
Notice that the phone now shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface" under "Android Device" in Device Manager. Double clicking on it now shows the driver is installed:
And that's it!
I now find that I can also boot into Fastbootd mode, even though I only installed the driver for Bootloader mode.
Note: this driver also works for my OnePlus 3T
