Yeah, not really sure why it took you an hour, the drivers themselves auto install. If you choose to manually install them (say you downloaded them separately), once the install is completed it prompts you whether they installed correctly or if you wish to run in compatibility mode....
With that said, I have found that if you're trying to use ODIN, the flash will complete successfully, but will more than likely get stuck in a boot loop; similar to what you'd see if you have Kies installed.

Have the native windows 8 drivers been released yet?

Just got the phone yesterday and didn't have to install anything to Odin root. So I would think so.

Or you know, if all else fails install kies and then uninstall it.

Can't get Nexus 7 to show up on computer

Shows up on my laptop but not on my desktop, have tried back and front USB ports
have uninstalled USB drivers, reinstalled USB drivers (universal adbdriversetup6 downloaded from xda sources)
downloaded android SDK manager and installed whatever USB stuff it had there
used USBdeview to remove any nexus 7 related things and then re-install USB drivers
Cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on... can anyone help me please
When I plug it in my desktop it makes the sound like something got connected... even has the safely remove hardware thing with nexus 7 there, but nothing in my computer
also have tried with/without USB debugging
tried removing my rom and flashing stock etc
Nothing has worked so far

and yes forgot to put in the title but this is for the Nexus 7FHD 2013

Is there a chance you are using usb3.0 port and can switch to usb2.0?
I would suggest you backup, flash stock, and redo your driver deinstall/install on stock. Try to get it working there first. Make sure USB debugging is disable on stock.

tried USB 3.0 as well as 2.0 on desktop doesnt work, shows up as a device on safely remove hardware, and I can also see it under other devices in hardware manager or whatever but doesnt display in computer
USB debugging enabled or disabled on stock doesn't work.. tried going back to stock and doing driver installation etc as well

In device manager are there any unknown devices?

Driver instal with WinXP
I went around with this problem after both my Win7 laptop and WinXP desktop both recognized my N7 2013 the first time I connected to them. I had no problem dragging and dropping files.
I had then returned the tab back to BB for a exchange for another. This time after setting up the tab and setting the MTP file toggle and USB settings correctly......The Win7 laptop worked find and recognized the N7 just like it did on the first tab. But now the WinXP desktop did not work and only saw the N7 as a ABD device.
You may already have the correct drivers (if not those are available here in several posts). You just have to direct windows driver update to the correct place for the MTP driver. Here is how i did it.
1. Open up the Device Manager on your PC and locate the Android device it sees. Select the update driver option and you get to the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" screen.
2. In this window it asks "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" Select the 3rd option ' No, not at this time"
3. In the next window "This wizard helps you install software for...." Select the 2nd option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
4. In the "Please choose your search and installation options" window... go down to the bottom and select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option.
5. Now finally the window we need..... "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" The "show compatible hardware" button should be selected...if not check that box. You should see 2 choices in the "Model" area..... Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.
Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

Just go in settings then storage and then computer usb connection by opening preferences in storage and then make sure mtp is checked.

If nothing else here has helped you solve this issue, check my thread, it should be of some help to you...

I'm having an issue where I can connect to my laptop in debug mode, but I'm not able to connect in the MTP mode with debug turned off. I expected to be able to mount the device storage in either mode.
Is that correct? If so, any ideas? I do notice I can't seem to get the MTP driver to stay in device manager.

The thing with windows 8.1 (atleast x64) is that they have changed the way adb drivers are recognized (or not recognized). You might have to:
1) In windows device manager find ADB Driver (or unrecognized hardware corresponding to the adb driver). Right click and select "update driver software".
2) Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
3) Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
4) With "show compatible hardware" checkbox ticked, two drivers should be shown.
(a) Android ADB Interface. and (b) MTP User Device or Composite USB device.
5) Select (a) above and click Next.
6) Device should now appear.
Always good to use the default adb drivers from google for this. (https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html)

Hi marcusflint, Sorry to ask the obvious but was USB debugging enabled in developer options?

Unistall the drivers from Device Manger and re-connect the device to PC ! Working gr8 and solves the MTP device recognition issue as well

ADB driver is installed properly but the MTP isn't installed so I can't enable the mass storage device
I dunno MTP is even required for mass storage device, how come I enable it (I want my computer to detect my SD card which is in this Canvas A1 phone) ?
I am on Windows 8.1 x64

Can't get Fastboot to work

Ok. I can't get fastboot to work. WIndows 10 laptop. Disabled driver verification. ADB works fine and reboots into bootloader but once in bootloader no fastboot. I've got an "Unknown Device" in Other Devices in Device manager and I've tried to assign the google driver manually but it's not recognized as a driver for the device
I've removed and reinstalled drivers pre and post driver verification
I tried adding PIxel C lines to the driver INF file as instructed on stack overflow
I don't know what else to try. And i've tried on two different computers???
Help please.. thanks

I fought with this for ages today. To start with, I have the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit installed. Now, when in bootloader, go to the device manager on your computer. Find the Pixel ("Unknown Device") and right click > Properties > Driver tab > Update Drivers > Browse Computer > Choose From List > WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Drivers > and pick the one that says something about the bootloader. Sorry, going off memory here. Now you should be able to get that one installed, and Fastboot will start showing up when in the bootloader.

That's OK. No problem. Did you try the steps in post #5 above?

Which operating system are you on? What worked for me on Windows 10 was to give up after several days and use a Windows 7 computer. I read everything and tried everything and I could not get Fastboot working on this device with Windows 10. I used every toolkit, every driver version, toolkits that install multiple driver versions, Minimal ADB + Fastboot, and who knows what else. If a well-documented end-to-end solution to this ever appears I'll be really grateful.

FWIW, it was my frustrations with this Windows driver nonsense, that eventually drove me to abandon Windows entirely. Been on Ubuntu for several years. No regrets.

It's very annoying, there seems to be a few reasons it fails. Cable, 3.0 usb ports, windows 10 drivers. I get different results with different cables in different types of usb ports. Also switching to PTP seems to work using a usb 2.0 port with a standard usb 2.0 A to micro with a micro to c adapter. Charging and MTP fail, but at least ADB and Fastboot respond.
I am going to try to edit the win10 driver using this post as reference.

I came to the same conclusion, but after a reboot it was unrecognized again.

Only way I can it to stick is installing the 2nd option drivers via skipsoft toolkit. Connect pixel c via 2.0 port and cable to PC. Switch to ptp. Then manually force install driver choosing have disk using bootloader option. From then on it works using ptp.

What I am able to see using USB Device Tree Viewer, is that when I plug in my Pixel C to my ASUS Z97-A blue usb ports with USB debugging enabled, it can not identify it. Those ports use Microsoft Windows 10 drivers for the Intel USB 3.0 eXensible Host Controller - 1.0. Which is what is causing the failure, not the Pixel C drivers. When I updated my other green USB ports driver, windows used the same ones on my ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller and also couldn't recognize the Pixel C any longer. I rolled back to ASMedia drivers, it worked fine. Updated using newer ASMedia drivers 4/11/2016 ver 1.16.35.1 and those work fine. Now to find working drivers for the Inter Host. Win7 drivers refuse to load.
UPDATE: If your bios allows, disable xHCI. Your USB ports will work as USB 2.0 but will detect your PIXEL C without issues.

Solution works 100%
If you've installed the SDK drivers and win10 can detect your Pixel C in every mode with usb debugging off. Use these win10 USB xHCi drivers,

Been smashing my face off the wall since LAST NIGHT trying to figure this out. windows 7 machine/ windows 8/ ubuntu ! trying 100 different methods and this one FINALLY SOLVED THE ISSUE. gawd dayum thank you so much from the future !!!

USB Device Not Recognized - Win10

tl;dr: Boot your Moto in Fastboot mode with USB connected to PC for it to recognize the device, then reboot normally.
For those with issues with their PC recognizing the device, in my case Verizon's Droid variant. I racked my brain all weekend and tried multiple different cables and PCs in order to push some ADB commands and transfer files with nothing seeming to get the PCs to recognize the phone. I just now rebooted into Fastboot mode and the PC now recognizes the phone, both in Fastboot and under normal boot. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. Cheers!

I have tried this method and still the PC does not see the Phone in File Transfer mode but will see it in Photo transfer.
Help, I have the Moto 6.4 drivers installed, when I check device Manger on the PC i see "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
If I try to force a driver update I am told the "INF" is invalid. Any suggestions are welcome, this has me scratching me head and is driving me nuts.

Connect your phone first
and Choose Usb to File Transfer in Mobile
In PC
Go to the Device Manager
And you will see Portable Devices
and there your Device Name or Unknown Device
Open it By clicking Double
Click Driver
ThenUpdate Driver
then you have tow option to fix
1.Search automatically for update driver software
2.Browse my Computer for driver software
I recommendedd OPTION 2
then come up two option
1.Browse driver software
2.Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computerr
I recommended OPTION 2
and computer will show you all Compatible driver
I recommended to select MTP USB Device
