Thanks!

there are two .zips "drivers" and "fastboot_with_Android_USB_file"

I have tried so many versions of the ADB driver and I always get a yellow exclamation mark in device manager and Fastboot does not see the device.
Any help on this appreciated as without it I cannot get Fastboot flashing which is needed for some things.
EDIT: Nevermind I got it working.

this is the most advanced adb driver installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24883071#post24883071 that will automatically install drivers into your pc (it's an exe file)

Download flashtool software, drivers needed can be found inside drivers folder. Just install the driver.

[Q] adb Device Offline

I have been searching all over xda and google to try and solve this problem and I'm stuck. I'm trying to unlock the boot loader for my Nexus 7 (2013) that I just got yesterday and I have been following the video guide.
The problem I'm having is that when I do command "adb devices" it shows that my Nexus 7 is connected to my PC (windows 7) but it says "offline" and when I do "adb reboot bootloader" I get the error "device offline".
I have my device in developer mode and I enabled USB debugging in the settings already. In my search throughout the forums and followed the steps to make sure that my drivers were up to date. I tried doing it by manually selecting the drivers and by using the SDK Manager to install the Google USB drivers, neither of these fixed the problem.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, please help!
Have you tried rebooting into the bootloader manually then if "fastboot devices" work?
If you aren't seeing a popup on your tablet when adb tries to communicate with it, then you need to upgrade your adb client to the latest version.
They added some RSA verification step to the adb connection and if you have the old client it just says device offline.
You can update "platform-tools" in the sdk manager or find a download of just the adb, fastboot client and 2 libraries. If I remember the link I'll add it.
Here's the link for just the new ADB and libraries.

Have u checked camera instead of mass storage? That's how I have to do it.

Sounds like a driver issue.
Make sure you've got the correct drivers installed. Open up Device Manager in Windows 7 and manually update the driver - http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Read the tutorial and watch/follow the video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382051
Got this on a Mac today, on the first time I connected this device.
Updated to latest android-sdk, re-installed platform-tools, and it worked fine.

Are you saying you have a download problem or a flashing problem?
The twrp archive I used wasn't a flashable zip. It was just a zip file with twrp.img archived.
You need to unzip and flash the twrp.img (it has a longer name) using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Need some help getting adb and fastboot workiing under Ubuntu

Hey guys, I'm trying to get adb and fastboot working under Linux. I added udev rules for adb, fastboot and flashmode(idk if this one was really necessary). Adb and fastboot are already working with my other devices, but does not seem to recognize my Xperia Play, adb devices in terminal lists nothing, same thing with fastboot devices. I tried using flashtool, it says my device is connected using fastboot and when i try to flash lupus kernel flashtool shoots an error saying my device needs to be connected with fastboot.
My Xperia is running Ics/Paranoid 4.0.4 and debugging mode is turned on
What can possibly be wrong here? Any Ideas?
Check the drivers. It could be giving you those errors because of the drivers you're using. Try to update them.

Did You install flashmode drivers from drivers pack of Flashtool? Not the USB drivers from sdk as You say. If not, or if You don't have Flashtool, download it and install Flashtool and then the fastboot drivers via it. Because if You are able to access fastboot, You should be able to access flashmode too, but if You have flashmode drivers.

Install this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Install this - http://www.flashtool.net
After Flashtool installs, go to drivers folder, (in flashtool folder), and run drivers.exe. check boxes for 'fastboot' 'flash mode' and 'Rhine' drivers. When done installing drivers, connect phone in fastboot mode, and you'll get a 'installing device software' popup. Click on 'skip Windows update search', and drivers will install. Then run fastboot commands.
