I need help install android driver on windows 8. I put phone into bootloder and a pop in windows says usb devices not recognized. in device manager, there is item called android 1.0. I used toolkit 9.1 install driver, it only has option for windows 7. the result says the resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry. I downloaded naked driver 0.7, install from device manager, I get error says 'windows encountered error install the driver' Samsung galaxy nexus bootloader interface.

i use these drivers.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
PS- next time post in the correct section

I had the same issue with Win8.
If u select the manual driver option within the toolkit there is a link to pdanet (or something similar).
I downloaded and installed that (with nexus disconnected), it looked like the installer failed but the driver must have stuck because the next time I connected via fastboot it had the correct driver.
Hope that helps

"The toolkit only has windows 7"
And because of that, you dont know what to do/to try. Just great.
Remove all drivers, reboot. Boot Nexus to bootloader, connect usb, go to device manager, manually update the driver by right click on android 1.0 or whatever the device name is, choose the driver that you previously extracted (naked drivers). Reboot. Should work.
// offtopic : windows 8 has got to be the worst windows yet.

I have installed android SDK and google USB driver is installed. I also downloaded naked driver 0.7 and manually install driver from device manger item called android 1.0, choose folder from naked driver. still get the same error.

Uninstall all drivers, try the ones in the samsung website for windows 8.
Jeez, you need help with drivers go to a windows forum, i'm sure it exists such a thing and google knows about it.

[Q] Help! Usb driver doesn't recognize my galaxy nexus in fastboot mode

I try to unlock my My galaxy nexus bootloader but every time i connect my phone to pc in fastboot mode, it appears nothing. I had tried many google usb driver yet it didn't help. Can anyone suggest me solutions?
In fastboot mode it said:
Product name - tuna
variant - maguro
HW Version - 9
Bootloader version - PRIMEKK15
Baseband Version - SC04D0MLE3
Carrirer Info - None
Serial Number - 0146B0000E01701C
Signing - production
Lock State - Locked
There is number inside this device: SC-04D <Titan Silver>
It's currently running adroid 4.1.1
Build number: androidME_v1.2_GNexus-build_cdtdroid

Are you in windows, linux, or mac? I had a problem getting it to install the fastboot driver for my GalNex on my Asus G73 laptop in windows so it might be a similar problem. What I did was download and install the android sdk including the optional google driver, and then manually install it from the device manager. If you've installed drivers from different sources windows caches them and when you connect a new device it may use the old driver even if you've uninstalled it.
To install the driver manually make sure the phone is connected and in fastboot mode
then go to control panel -> system -> device manager
then select whatever the galaxy nexus is listed as. probably samsung phone or something along those lines.
right-click and select "update driver software
click "browse my computer for driver software" then "let me pick from a list of driver software on my computer" and finally click "Have disk..."
this will open a window for you to select the driver so hit browse, and in the explorer window go to the android-sdk folder where you installed the sdk and find the %android-sdk%\extras\google\usb_driver folder. then select the "android_winusb.inf" file. After clicking ok and ok it should list 3 drivers. I can't remember which one it is but I think one of them is a fastboot driver (If I remember correctly they're adb, composite-adb, and fastboot).
After it's installed open a command prompt and put in "fastboot devices". if there's a device id listen then it's working.
edit: the driver I refer to can be acquired here: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
it says "The Galaxy Nexus driver, however, is distributed by Samsung (listed as model SCH-I515)." but that refers to the Verizon version.

it's working
Thank you I followed you instruction and it's amazingly working :victory:

This may help... it worked for me...
The reason the driver isn't being recognized by Windows, is that you need to edit the android_winusb.inf file. Let's now go through some simple steps to show you how to enable the Android Composite ADB Interface.
1. Download and Install Google USB Driver (yes, the generic Google USB driver, even though the Galaxy Nexus uses the Samsung USB driver in normal USB mode)
2. Next go to Device Manager and right click on Android 1.0 driver and click Properties
3. On the 'Property' drop down look for 'Hardware ids'; you should see two values like this:
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E30&REV_0100
and
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E30
Write down the USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E30 you will need to copy this to android_winusb.inf
4. Go to the USB driver folder and open android_winusb.inf with notepad and create a new line under 'Google Nexus (generic)' adding the above PID as follows:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E30
*Note: There are two sections where 'Google Nexus (generic)' is found; add this line under both the "Google.NTx86" section and the "Google.NTamd64" section if you are uncertain.
Now save the file to same location
5. Next, go to Device Manager (Computer Management) > Other devices > Android 1.0
Right click on Android 1.0 driver and click 'Update Driver'
Browse to the USB drivers folder and open android_winusb.inf (Use Browse my computer for driver software)
6. Windows will present you with a pop up saying "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software"; click > Install this driver software anyway
7. You should now see a message "Windows has successfully updated your driver software"; make sure the driver description looks like this > Android Composite ADB Interface; then click > close
8. Device Manager will now label the device driver > Samsung Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface

my galaxy nexus is'nt showing in pc...its charging...but cant connect in download and fastboot mode...even not showing in device manager...tried diiferet usb cables...plzzz help me...sorry for bad english

Thanks for instructions. It worked.

[Q] Clean USB Driver Install

I recently performed a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on my PC.
I intermittently get the "Device Hardware ID Missing" error when connecting my phone. USB drivers were auto-installed by Windows when I connected my phone. I also installed the Android SDK and have attempted to update the USB drivers that Windows uses for my phone to those from the SDK. I have also tried installing the drivers available on Samsung's website.
What is the best way to remove all Samsung/Google USB drivers, prevent Windows from auto-installing drivers and clean install new drivers?

Question Can fastboot work with Google/Qualcomm USB drivers?

With Google Android SDK USB drivers (usb_driver_r13-windows.zip from 'Get the Google USB Driver') installed on a Windows PC, the platform-tools adb command can comunicate with the phone when it's in the Android system.
However, after booting into fastboot, the platform-tools fastboot command cannot communicate with the phone.
Does fastboot only work with the USB drivers installed by the miflash utility?
Or does it work with different drivers from Google or Qualcomm? If so, where to download them from?
There are countless sources claiming to be the Qualcomm drivers, but they are not authoritative.
Qualcomm puts all its downloads behind a login, but even after joining the Qualcomm developer network, I still couldn't find the drivers on there.

I always use the so-called Minimal ADB and Fastboot package (search by Google).
Starting from that it will further download additional drivers (when phone is connected in Android or in Fastboot mode - PC must be on Internet)
But you may have problems (preventing to recognize the phone in Fastboot) with your USB cable or USB port on the PC or even with some previously installed drivers - Windows wrongly recognize and try to use a previously installed driver instead and then it doesn't work in Fastboot
To clean up the previously installed USB drivers from the particular USB ports you may use USB Deview (google for, it's been couple of years ago when I had to use it last time)

Again, countless links to 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot package' downloads from untrustworthy sources such as dropbox, droidfilehost etc,
But anyway it was not necessary. Thank you for the suggestion to clean the device. I think the Google Android SDK USB drivers contains the bootloader driver, it just wasn't installed. The device manager just needed a nudge.
To recreate the issue...
Connect the phone to the PC via USB
In Windows, go to the Device Manager.
When the phone is in Android system, it is shown in the device tree as...
Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface
...but when the phone is in fastboot, it is shown in the device tree as...
Other devices -> Android
...with an exclamation mark over the Android device to indicate it is not working.
To fix the problem...
In Device Manager, find...
Other devices -> Android
Right click Android, and select Properties.
In the General tab, click Change Settings. At the UAC prompt, log in with an Administrator account.
In the Driver tab, click Update Driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer > Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface > When 'Update Driver Warming' is displayed, click 'Yes'
Shows: Windows has successfully updated your drivers.
Driver properties now shows: Driver provider: Google, Inc
The phone shows in the device tree as:
Android Device > Android Bootloader Interface
Now Android platform tools fastboot commands work.

Ofc that Google's SDK should contain drivers but I suggested Minimal.. since I always use them and it's the minimal/smallest package (as the name says, and self-contained) to download and install
Btw, there is a thread on XDA for Minimal..., that should be trustworthy I think
Anyway, it's important that it works now for you. And problem is usually with some mess on the PC with previous drivers
USB Deview is small, easy to use and powerfully tool for cleaning the old drivers that have been installed who knows when in the past

Thanks, found it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/
The latest version minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe, is 1mb, dated is Feb 2018, hosted on androidfilehost.com.
I guess Google's platform-tools_r33.0.1-windows.zip supercedes it, it's a little bigger at 6mb, but it's portable, so doesn't require any Administrator access to install, and provenance it clear.

Fastboot doesn't detect Oneplus 3

My Oneplus 3 isn't detected on fastboot. I'm using Samsung drivers and I already tried Google Drivers.

If it's an OP 3 then why are you using Samsung drivers? You need OnePlus drivers, obviously. I always followed this guide (exactly like it says) and never had an issue with my drivers so far.
This is from an OP 8 group, but the drivers should be the same:
To install the drivers, ensure that driver signature verification is disabled. Instructions:
How to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8 or 10 (So That You Can Install Unsigned Drivers)
64-bit versions of Windows 10 and 8 include a “driver signature enforcement” feature. They’ll only load drivers that have been signed by Microsoft. To install less-than-official drivers, old unsigned drivers, or drivers you’re developing yourself, you’ll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
