Anyone know where/how to get the drivers for the Galaxy Nexus?
Will it just be a case of updating the drives from the android SDK?
I think I have a mint VM that has the android SDK installed maybe I just try use that and see if I can get some 'oem unlock' love going on
Right I'll answer my own post!
Basically I got the superboot zip from Paul O'Brien ModaCo page and used the fastboot.exe in the folder of that zip
When my Galaxy Nexus is in bootloader mode, fastboot-windows.exe just sits at "< waiting for device >" and the Windows 7 device manager shows the phone (in bootloader mode) as an unknown device.
Did you manage to find Windows 7 drivers? The r4 OEM USB drivers from Google don't have support for the Galaxy Nexus yet...
I had this issue. Some advice on another thread was to use the drivers from PDAnet (or something like that) which worked for me (Win 7 x64). Then you can uninstall the program and the drivers will remain. I'll try to find the link.

Install pdanet, works perfectly

Install the program to get the drivers, then uninstall it (if you don't want it) and keep the drivers.

Worked great! Thanks for the quick and very helpful responses!
You can just download the drivers on their own without installing pdanet from

My Gnex refuses to install drivers. (windows 7) i tried on my brothers computer and it works fine but it will not work on mine. Anyone know where to find some drivers that will work. Im currently failing hard on samsungs site.
Can you explain what's happening when you try to install the drivers? Do they install correctly without any errors?
No they dont. I plug it in and it fails to install everytime ive tried with different cables and this is my second gnex having the exact same problem.

Because the problem is your computer/OS/you, not Galaxy Nexus.
Try GNex Toolkit to install drivers. If even that fails i would suggest to get your computer repaired or use brothers
PS don't forget to disconnect your phone before installing drivers.
Hmmm i thought it would be an easy driver download fix.

See the link i gave you, there's another two options that doesn't involve installing GNex Toolbox:

+1 to GNex Toolbox; worked like a charm for me!
i had a problem with the usb drivers too using toolkit but following the manual install instructions worked for me. i had to go into system->device manager on my pc and install from there using the manual install instructions provided with the toolkit(option 1 and then option 3 using the toolkit). good luck.
i had problems with using the toolkit as well, so i downloaded the pdanet drivers and installed and that worked

This worked for me too. PDAnet installed drivers properly. Tried everything else didn't work.
I know this is a dumb question but I gotta ask. Did you right click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator?" Sometimes that's all it needs (even when your login has administrative privileges, you're still not Administrator.)

try this plug your phone in and make sure usb debugging is checked on the phone(settings->developer options) then on your pc go to control panel->system->device manager. when your phone is plugged in you should see android 1.0 or galaxy and right click and select update driver. if you see nothing here then try plugging the usb in a different port on the back of your pc. Then select browse device for driver, after that choose option "let me pick from a list of drivers" there you should see google or samsung as a option and select it. if that worked you should be good to go.
Ok tried every USB port, still nothing and this is the error message i get when i try to install through the device manager.

you got this error after doing the manual install and choose from a list of drivers and found google in that list?
if so then uninstall all samsung drivers, pdanet and drivers. then reinstall the samsung usb driver first then try the manual install again. make sure you have the phone plugged in and usb debugging enabled when doing the manual install in device manager.
I have exactly the same problem. Root, pushing files, everything works, except MTP. Any suggestions?
i Cant unlock the bootloader or root..no matter what i use it just tells me waiting for device..i tried every driver for i9250 that i could find...anyone know what is going on?
You do have debugging ticked i presume or possibly your USB lead could be faulty!!
Another would be two drivers being incompatible so be sure to use just one with others disabled. I use naked drivers!!!

USB debugging is enabled...how do I disable driver on windows 8?...
Do u have links to any drivers?
Windows 8 requires you to disable some security to properly install the drivers. You have to go to settings and do a custom restart. I'm on my phone right now so can't get you a link. Just google windows 8 android driver install you should be able to get instructions.

Also, uninstall all previous drivers and use the ones from here. Install them manually in device manager.

Kindle drivers from the SDK
Just to follow up for anyone who wants to install the driver from the Android SDK, the OP from the thread I linked to earlier, posted the below on how to exactly get the Kindle driver showing in the SDK and then installing it:
Jordan011 said:
I received a message from a user saying that 10.3.1 was rooted with this method.
As for others with driver problems, a lot of users are using the drivers from the SDK, and it seems to be working, I didn't have any issues using Qemu's drivers so if they don't work try that method.
In the SDK click Tools up top>Manage add-on sites then click the 2nd tab "User defined sites"
Add http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml to the list, then go back to the main screen, scroll down to the folder "Extras" there should be a "Kindle fire usb driver" install that then it should automatically recognize the device the next time you hook up your kindle.
NOTE: Uninstall the drivers that you are currently using as they will interfere with these, (uninstall it from the device in device manager, then delete a folder in C:\program files\ called Amazon, then perform a fresh install with the sdk)
i had to spoof my drivers for my kfhd 7 which if anyone wants that information lemme know, I'll be happy to post how to do this.

I'll just add that after you download the driver from the SDK, its not automatically installed to the PC - its only installed in the SDK...The installation file "KindleDrivers.exe" needs to be run manually and is found in the following path: [C:\AndroidSDK\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver]
I updated to KitKat yesterday - sideloaded. It was a huge success! My shiny new Nexus 7 has KitKat.
But today, when connected to my PC via USB, it no longer shows up.... It used to appear as an external drive that I could drag/drop files to. Now? Nothing. And Google support has no idea. They said "maybe it's a result of the OS upgrade."
I tried a factory reset - no dice.
I've tried multiple ports and different computers - no dice.
I tried USBDView and removing anything Nexus/Android related and trying again - nothing.
Anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts at all?
Any advice would be a big help. The PC sees it - but I cannot add files to it. Awful.
Install android-sync you will have to look on Google for it, it installs the drivers u need .. Worked for me when I lost connection. U can uninstall after

That didn't do anything for me - I tried it just now.
Did you lose connection after upgrading to KitKat?

I had the same problem, but I noticed that I was able to transfer files if I change the usb to a usb 2.0 port. On 3.0 doesn't work.
For sideload kitkat you need to enable camera mode in storage USB settings. Try to re-enable the default settings. (settings... Storage... More... USB connection...)

My husband deleted all of the drivers on my PC and we started from scratch. Magic. I guess.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
I own a HTC One X running Android 4.1.1. I am using Android Revolution HD 16.0 ROM by mike1986.
Recently I installed Win 8.1 Pro N and after installing the latest HTC Sync manager, I still cannot access my phone memory.
It used to work as a USB stick on Win 7. The Device Manager insists that I am missing an MTP driver. From my searches I concluded that this driver is exactly what I need, however I can't find it anywhere.
Or maybe it could be my outdated Android version?
I'll appreciate some help.
Cheers,
Joro
Got it
Alright, this thread helped me.
Apparently I need the media feature pack for Win 8.1 N.
F you M$ :X
Just uninstall Sync manager..Then again plug USB and let Windows to install drivers..
