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.

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?
Has anyone had success installing and running pdanet? I can install it on my phone, but I cannot connect to install on my computer. Whenever I plug in the phone I get the MTP driver fail.
I've tried using Kies to install new drivers, I've tried uninstalling and deleting all USB drivers and then reinstalling through Windows Update all with no success. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit if that makes any difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, or any other recommendations to working wired tethering apps that do not require root and/or work on ICS.
Use koush wired tether you download to phone

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?
Try enabling USB debugging

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.
Not sure how to best describe the issue, so please stay with me on this. I have a clean install on Windows 7 laptop (Lenovo W530) and on my LG-D851. I cannot seem to root the D851, like I normally do using LG Root Script v1.2. It appears that there is an issue installing the USB driver on Windows 7, but I cannot be sure. I have provided a lot of screenshots so you have as much info as possible. While I can see the phone as a I would a hard drive, Device Manager says the "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)", even though I have installed LG Mobile Driver from here. When I try to root the phone, LG Root Script just hangs on the screen that reads "Waiting for Device...". This process has worked for me in the past, but I cannot determine why it does not now.
A few notes:
Album of Pics
Phone is seen under My Computer
I have tried this process on CyanogenMod 12 and 13 with the same results.
CyanogenMod Version: 12.1-20151117
Android Version: 5.1.1
MTP Enabled
Developer Option Root Access set to: Apps and ADB
Android Debugging: Enabled
Thank you for your help!
Bump. Any suggestions?
Is the phone unlocked? If not get the unlock code from t-mobile. You can also buy ALL the different unlock codes for about 12 bucks from several online services. I then used kingroot to root my d-851. I installed twrp, ROM, turned on root in developer options and all was good. If you want to remove kingroot afterwards, go to https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0ZScx8RT3Fc5HzFTA&sig2=OwVgKQIMCJAXMHTcO_WLmw for instructions. Hope my experience helps you.
