i accidentally put the wrong version it is 2.3.5
Those drivers dont work for fastboot on windows 8. i cant get the bootloader unlocked.
Drivers are independent of your phones version. Try different cables, ports, computers
And make sure fastboot (on the phone is disabled)

I know and in the thread are drivers.
If you don't get it - here.
maybe I'm wrong, by phone off, connect the USB while holding the back button, automatically installs the drivers, right?

I don't know that, but look in the device manager if it did.

yeah, ok, the procedure enables the search of the Internet adb drivers (Windows Vista), but these are not found in databases of Microsoft.
So the only way is to install them manually as specified above.

Efrants guide is stickied in the general nexus thread. Will tell you everything you need to know
Alright maybe we can help with this lol
I have the drivers installed, It says Samsung ADB device or whatever in device manager.
I have usb debugging enabled.
I hold the up and down button and power
Should it say "fastboot usb" or just fastboot, On my evo it said fastboot usb when connected.
I have the galaxynexusroot package from the asian guy which simply contains fastboot.
I open command window where it's at.
And type "fastboot oem unlock"
And it just says waiting for device. I'm certain the drivers are there.
What's my problem?
If boss don Efrant's guide can't get you there then try Google or use the search bar in xda.
I believe in you little buddy

I've utilized all 3, Now after installing the drivers from PDAnet which we're suggested by Efrant it just says Android 1.0 under device manager and I can't seem to update it.
And still no luck the unlocking. obviously due to the drivers.
I have the Samsung ADB interface installed. Do I need another driver? It seems I do, But I can't get anything to stick when I go into Fastboot.

... I don't want to return to stock.
I am stock...
I want to unlock/root.
You can flash whatever rom you want after doing this.
Not sure if substituting the rom you want instead of the stock image will work. Try it and find out.

We seem to be miscommunicating.
I have a new Galaxy Nexus from Sprint updated to 4.2.1
I'm trying to get the drivers installed properly to be able to unlock the bootloader.
I'm in no shape to be flashing any rom I want, Without the drivers installed first.
From efrant's guide, which seems to apply in all situations: "Note that the driver has to install twice: once when your device is booted normally (not required for this tutorial) with USB Debugging enabled in Settings, and once when your device is booted in fastboot (i.e., bootloader) mode (which is required for this tutorial). "

I've done this, But it still just shows "Android 1.0" with an exclamation mark while in fastboot.
I've uninstalled everything and I'm about to try again and see if something goes right this time.
Uhh, the guide suggests using universal naked drivers, not pdanet.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1

I'm trying to install the Universal Naked drivers right now, Window's find it but gives an error, It actually showed bootloader drivers too
It's saying
windows found driver software for your device but encoutered an error while attempting to install it.
google galaxy nexus bootloader interface.
the hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. the file is likely corrupt of the victim of tampering.
if you know the manufacter of your device, you can visit its website and check support section for driver software.
So.... What now.
Are you on windows 8? There are links to full write ups on the drivers in efrant's guide, pertaining to many different situations. With all the driver issues i've heard of, i'm glad to not need any!

Yeah I am on Win8 Which is bull****.
I'm not as new to this game as it may seem, And it barely makes any sense.
I've rooted many many HTC phones in my time.
I'm tempted to install windows 7 just to get this taken care of. But that's soooo much of a hassle.
Hope you found this and it does the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33463359&postcount=109
I'm now typing this message from Windows 7.
I'm willing to endure the hassle to get this beautiful device off from the stock rom
And I had already done that last thing you posted before anything else as soon as I realized that the drivers wouldn't even open to install
FINALLY got it thanks to Windows 7.
Dear wonderful community.
Yesterday my htc one was lost..sad. So i went and purchased a brand new t-mobile samsung galaxy s4 (m919).
I went home and wished to root it. Simple process. Just one big problem. My pc did not want to recognize my phone.
Ok. So i figured let me go to the website and download latest drivers. Nope! Didnt work. Ok, let me try the kies method. Nope! Didnt work either. There is literally nothing that is going in my favor at the moment. I tried my friends galaxy s2, hey what do you know, easily recognized. Tried my s4 again. Nope! Absolutely refuses to be recognized. So here we are at work. Tried on my work pc. Guess what? Nope again!
Somebody please please please help me!
And again im sorry if this is a repost topic, if so please just point me in the right direction! Thank you ahead of time!

That should run Odin okay...
Are you using Odin to try and root it? That's the easy way to go.
I used XP and didn't need to install any drivers.

Try it and see. I bet it will work.
My guess is that you are using an older version of abd, which does not support android 4.2.2, which is why your s2 works fine.

Have you turned on the developer options? Have to do that before it will be recognized.
Try uninstalling the drivers with your phone unplugged, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot again, then plug your phone in again.

Uninstall all drivers and try only with the link up. If you are with stock rom I see you are say locked then install latest htc manager with drivers
