[Q] Android USB Drivers - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello! I just recieved my Galaxy Nexus!
I am coming from an HTC Desire. I have downloaded the Android SDK and the USB drivers from the developer site.
I have a new computer also and i cannot get the Galaxy Nexus "Android 1.0" drivers to install
I did this before with my old computer and the HTC Desire, but i am unable to get it to find the driver even though i point it to the correct folder.
i would like to root before i install everything as i know that it will wipe the phone.
can someone please help? The "inf" file that comes with the USB drivers does not have the Galaxy Nexus in it... how did you get it to work???

ADB Drivers for EVO?

I have been doing Android development for a while on my work laptop that runs Windows Server 2003 64bit. Previously I've used a HTC Magic (AT&T) and a Moto Droid (Verizon) for development. Now I also have a EVO that I am trying to use. The problem is that I cannot get ADB to work with it.
System: Windows Server 2003 64 bit (work laptop, no I cannot put Windows <whatever else> on here).
Phone: EVO
Since I have been doing development for some time I already have the SDK, along with the USB drivers.
Here are things I have tried:
1. Plug in EVO. It wants to install ADB drivers. I choose the USB drivers location. Fails.
2. Delete USB Drivers. Redownload them from the SDK. Plug in, choose drivers, fail.
3. Plug in, allow drivers to fail, I have the ! in device manager for ADB. Unistall the ADB driver. Scan for hardware changes. Install ADB drivers. Fail.
4. Uninstall the Motorola USB Driver package. Try all above steps, fail.
5. Try to install HTC Sycn, Server 2003 not supported, fail.
What else can I try to get ADB working? Seems funny that it would work perfectly with a HTC Magic and a Droid but not this EVO.
Eureka! I found an obscure post on some crappy forum to a link for what someone called HTC Evo 64 bit drivers, so I thought what the hay, lets try them.
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/yd61xorii
The folder of drivers in there was really called Vista x86 but, still worth a shot.
It worked perfectly. The phone doesnt say ADB in device manager now but "My HTC". ADB is working fine.
Hopefully someone in the same boat as me will happen across this and it will save them time.
Thank you! Saved me a BUNCH of time! You're the man!
The file appears to be unavailable on that site now, could someone please re-host this ASAP? I can't get anything else to work and I'd really appreciate it if this turned out to be my fix. Thanks.

I can't connect on VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. How did you fix your problem? Did you find drivers? Thanks.
wow. never had a problem on windows 7 or ubuntu getting the evo to be recognized. but, head to work, plug it in, and no go. install the sdk and update it, no go. i was baffled, because i've never had a problem before. but, this file did the trick! thanks!
Unfortunately for those of us who are behind a proxy and can't get at the SDK file, going through the stupid SDK to get the driver is very annoying.

Didn't work for me. I'm running Deck's 4.0.3 ROM and can't get my device recognized on my computer. I tried to install the driver pack above through device manager and got an "unable to install" message. Any advice?

[Q] Fastboot Adb drivers not installing, please help[SOLVED]

I've been trying since last night to root my Nexus, because I want to install Jelly Bean. When I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to install my drivers it did fine for adb. When I go into device manager it shows up as Android Phone like its supposed to. However, when I boot into fastboot mode, my computer no longer recognizes my Nexus and when I got into device manager, nothing shows up for it...not even Android 1.0.
Can someone please give me some tips as how to fix this issue.
P.S. I also installed the Google SDK along with the Google USB drivers afterwards, hoping that would fix the issue...but no luck...and I tried PDAnet...still no luck
The issue I was having was due to the fact that I wasnt pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+Power, so I wasnt even in fastbook, but a screen similar to it

The driver needs to be installed TWICE: once when you are booted normally, and once when booted in fastboot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28060885&postcount=3

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.

driver question

I posted another thread with problems with odin and my ace 2. I uninstalled all the samsung driver's, I then reinstalled the samsung driver's and i get all these missing bluetooth driver's and 2 android driver's on my device manager. I can assume this is why odin is not working can anyone help please ? I have attached an image of my device manager. Also the samsung ADB interface driver only pops up when my device is plugged into my computer.
Thanks
Sam

I don't know about the bluetooth drivers but indeed Android adb driver should work. So here is what I suggest.
Go to the Samsung Android Phone tab, and uninstall these 2 drivers in there, restart laptop, then go and download the ace 2 drivers from here and see if it works, ah btw let the phone connected during the whole process.
Thanks for the advice i followed your advice, uninstalled both the samsung and ADB then restarted my computer. I then reinstalled the drivers you provided with my device plugged in, while they were installing. I got the bluetooth drivers popup again, Also theres a new thing under my portable devices tab i will post more screenshots this is really boggling me :/
Also this popped up when installing the drivers to do with the bluetooth.....
looks like MTP won't work either eh? Well let's see if it's the phone or the pc
Firstly follow those instuctions to do some troubleshooting.
1) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=19153
3) Download the file
6) Run it
7) Follow the instuctions (NextNextNextNext)
That's it, now the MTP devices should work correctly.*
(ALSO Try de-selecting usb debugging)
If this won't work then I guess it's a problem with the phone.I read somewhere in a thread that some dude with the same problem on a samsung phone did factory wipe, wiped dalvik, and installed another ROM, then the usb drivers problem got fixed.
Good luck.
EDIT: Also check this site here it seems to have solution regarding the bluetooth peripheral thing.
none of those links work It has also stopped coming up as mtp it now just says GT-I8160. Also i noticed when i start up my computer it fails to start until i unplug it and plug it in again (attached pictures)
Also there is no android adb anymore its just the samsung one.... is this right? i appreciate your help
I am also using a 64bit version of windows 7 if that makes any difference.
Have you tried connecting the phone to some other pc just to know which one is the problem?
I've ran outta ideas...well the problem seems to be with the device itself and if not then it's probably the usb port,maybe insert to another port or try your luck on google, search for something like "windows failed to recognize android phone"or smth similar. I'll do some more research and try to help y'out tomorrow

I tried disabling usb debugging also i tried the drivers on my netbook. I am having really strange problems on there with odin i plug it in and odin wont pick it up and as soon as i unplug it it says added then removed very weird :/ thats only when the phone is in download mode....
Im thinking its either the cable or the phone. Im not sure though..
Remove all Samsung related drivers.
Restart pc
Use cccleaner to clean the registry
Reboot pc
Use the drivers that i have provided in the s advance forum in my all in one guide. Install the drivers without connecting the phone.
After the drivers are installed, turn off internet connection and then connect the phone.

Thanks for the new idea shaaan I have succesfully followed steps 1 and 2. But I am struggling to find your all in one guide would one be kind to link me ? I did a forum search with no luck. Also I am using a galaxy GT-I8160 would using the s drivers matter? and thanks for the help mojito0 I would like to think it isn't the cable or phone, as I have literaly owned them for 8 days (just over a week). I can always see if i can borrow another cable of my friend today though
edit: I found your all in one guide I am now going to attempt what you said
After removing all the samsung related drivers and restarting I get all these devices come up? The device is not plugged in either.
I dont know if this helps atall, but I finished doing what you said ignoring the drivers.... Then went to flash using odin, Put the phone into download mode and noticed that after a couple of seconds of being stuck on setup connection. It then says the GT-I8160 cannot start, Also the mtp and adb android driver is still displaying that yellow explanation mark :/ I am a newbie to android here and dont know the difference betwene the samsung adb and the android one as listed do they both need to be working?
Remove all the displayed devices from other devices, also remove that Samsung adb thingy and also there will be one Samsung related device in the usb section! Remove them all and then follow my steps.
As for your driver query, the drivers are universal for a specific range of devices. The driver version 2.0+ should work for all devices which were released in 2012

[Q] Wildfire S not recognizes by driver nor ADB

Hello,
I want to install custom ROM (CM10.x). Followed some tutorials like this one:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/2/
Either HTC Sync nor ADB can connect to the phone. With USB debug I can see it's listed as mass storage but not visible in Explorer. I tried official HTC drivers and the ones from Mobiledit (CCD). No success.
With my S3 and S3 mini there is no problem with ABD.
Can anyone help me to get a valid driver to unlock bootloader?
