Windows 7 x64
Galaxy Nexus i515, BROKEN SCREEN, USB DEBUGGING WAS NOT TURNED ON. The phone is completely stock I just turned it on and used it until I broke my screen. Screen lock is on.
I have been trying to access my phone, using Fastboot, to wipe it before I send it in for warranty. I can not seem to do this at all. It seems that I can not install the drivers because I have not enabled USB debugging. Is this true? I have been following this guide : http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/2/ When i go to manually install the drivers, from SDK, I get, "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x6-based systems." I then tried the driver from Samsung and got the same response.
So then I hold VOL+ _ VOL- and Power and tried to install the drivers for Fastboot with the same outcome as above. Also when I boot in Fastboot mode the drivers that are installed make my phone a modem. The driver is called, "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem." I can not get this to change.
So to summarize I can not get the ADB Drivers to install, because I do not have USB Debugging enabled, that in return will not allow me to install Fastboot Drivers because when I plug the phone in the computer sees it as a Modem.
Any suggestions? I am just trying to erase the info on my phone I have given up all hope of recovering any data.
Thanks,

USB debugging drivers/interface have nothing to do with fastboot drivers/interface. What's a screen lock?

I meant a screen pattern lock. When you wake up the screen you have to connect the dots in a certain pattern before your screen unlocks and you can use the phone.
As far as, USB debugging drivers/interface having nothing to do with fastboot drivers/interface, then what am I doing wrong? I can not get my computer to see my phone as an android device.

I know what a screen pattern lock is.
Uninstall all drivers, reboot pc.
Assuming device is off: press power+vol up+vol down, until you feel the vibration. Wait 2 secs or so. Device will be in fastboot mode.
Read this thread, i say again, READ this thread, obviously start with the first post! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
Thanks for the link. I read it and followed instructions for installing the drivers. Here is what I did:
1.Uninstalled all drivers
2.Rebooted my PC
3.Downloaded these Drivers, as suggested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
4.Followed these instructions, on how to install the driver without windows trying to find one automatically: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735
Everything seemed to go well under the Device Manager, when I plug my phone in in fastboot mode, it shows Android Phone -> Samsung Android Interface. This is way better than what I had before, when it was showing up as a Modem. Now when I try to use fastboot.exe and I type "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. I reset the computer and replugged in my device, in fastboot, and the same thing nothing shows up in fastboot.
Thanks for you help.
Did you miss the part about having to feed windows the same driver again, when connecting the device for the first time, in FASTBOOT MODE?

Not sure if I understand what your asking.
I followed all of the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735 I connected the phone booted normally and let windows find a driver so that the driver reads Portable Devices -> Galaxy Nexus. Then I unplugged the Nexus and booted it in fastboot mode and plugged it in. Next I followed the directions to install the Universal_Naked_Driver, in fastboot mode. I can not install the driver for ADB because I can not enable USB Debugging with my broken screen.
Thanks Again.
Why is it so difficult for people to understand that USB debugging has nothing to do with anything outside the booted OS?

W8 a sec, do you even have your bootloader unlocked???
You said you're running stock, so that should have been my first question, because to unlock your bootloader through the usual way, you need to confirm a dialog on the device... which in your case, doesn't have a working screen.

Lets see:
That post shows how it's done, correctly. (I think, from what i've read)
pay attention to part 3)
3)
NOTE:
- The method described here can be used to install the "Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" driver as well as the "Samsung Galaxy Nexus Bootloader Interface" driver.
- Differences between the two procedures. One is done with the phone booted up normally and "USB Debugging" is enabled, and the other is done when the phone is in fastboot. I will cover the "USB Debugging" part here.

We will now install the two drivers that efrant talked about in his post.
A) (FOR ADB - WHEN RUNNING ANDROID OS):
Enable USB debugging on your device
- Goto Settings > Developer Options > Check "USB Debugging"
- Connect device, manually update driver to Naked driver by 1wayjohny, done. On 4.2 and above, you'll need to confirm that you accept the host's (your pc) RSA key.
B) (FOR FASTBOOT - WHEN RUNNING FASTBOOT MODE)
boot into fastboot mode - power off phone and hold vol up + vol down + power
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both for A) and B), you need to do the "Update drivers manually" part!
Right now, your only option is B), that is to use fastboot to either:
- Flash stock images.
- To get your data back, boot a custom recovery (which won't require the RSA key confirmation for ADB) from fastboot, then use ADB to pull your /sdcard/ or whatever.

I am learning this ^. I am having trouble getting my computer to see my phone, in fastboot mode. All of the instructions that I have read start with installing drivers for ADB, which requires the phone to be USB debugging mode, and then the drivers for fastboot. So I thought my trouble was, since I can not install the drivers for ADB, and that I was having trouble with all of my drivers, that it was probably the fact that my phone can not be put into USB debugging mode. I now realize that USB debugging has nothing to do with fastboot, as fastboot is before the OS is booted. I am still just having trouble with my fastboot driver and seeing my phone with fastboot.exe.

No my bootloader is not unlocked. Is this the reason that my phone is not detected by fastboot.exe? Do I need to unlock my bootloader?
I have been trying option B, as I know this is my only option. I have been doing the "Update drivers manually" part I even tried on another PC with windows 7, to no avail. What ever I seem to do I can not see my device in fastboot.exe.

No. Fastboot should be able to see your device if the proper drivers are installed. Fastboot is REQUIRED to unlock the bootloader

If you used odin to flash something, that will unlock the bootloader. Flashing a section of edited param using OMAP flash will also unlock the bootloader.

I also have the same problem with my galaxy C5.

My galaxy C5 is also not recognized as a bootloader interface while in fastboot mode, after installing all the drivers correctly. Samsung usb driver v1.5.63.0 makes the changes i think, and it makes it as a modem instead of bootloader. maybe the solution is i have to manually update the driver of that modem into bootloader, right click on the modem in device manager and change it's driver into bootloader of your phone, maybe it works. I will try it this way.
Let me know if this solution has worked for someone.
Thanks
Does NOT show up in either fastboot or andriod 4.2.2 with debugging enabled, not in 'computer' or 'device manager'.
The only way I can get any confirmation it exists is in wug's nexus root toolkit if I put the phone in fastboot and do adv-list devices it will show the phones serial number and 'fastboot' as mode.
The phone itself seems to work fine except enabling/disabling debugging has no effect on it being recognized, thus the only option i'm able to do is 'flash stock + unroot' which went through fine, but again had no effect.
I've tried all drivers from gnex toolkit and wugs, 'device manager' will show adb drivers with no conflict, but still wont show the actual phone.
Done all steps many times, spent 14+ hours on this over 2 days, no clue what to do now. please help me
your drivers are the problem.
search for universal naked drivers.
I have somehow installed the fastboot drivers for my Pixel C (although ADB still doesn't work), and have successfully (?) unlocked the bootloader.
If I try to flash either the newest bootloader in order to install the N Developer Preview or a TWRP image, I get the following message:
FAILED (command write failed (No such device or address))

I tried different USB ports but the result was the same. I found somewhere about fwtool, but in order to use that I have to be rooted (if I understood correctly).
Any other ideas?

I'm assuming that since you were able to "successfully" unlock the bootloader that you can do this to check and see if your PC still recognizes your device. So, while you have you're Pixel C in fastboot and have it connected to your PC, open a command prompt and type the words fastboot devices and see if it returns your device serial number. Normally the command prompt will show that message when your device is not properly connected with the correct drivers installed. Also, if you have the correct drivers installed your ADB should work if you have enabled USB Debugging in developer options.

Well, fastboot devices (and all fastboot commands) works. As for ADB it shows my device, but says unauthorized and never asks for my authorization.
But the thing is that I cannot flash anything.

Okay. If it will recognize fastboot commands let's start over from the beginning. Go to developer options and verify OEM Unlocking is checked and USB Debugging is checked. If you have the correct ADB drivers installed you will receive a pop-up message that says "This computers RSA key fingerprint is xxxxxxxxx. Check the box to always allow. Next, boot to the bootloader and type fastboot devices in a command prompt window. If it returns your device serial number then we are good to go.
Next, open a command prompt window and type fastboot flashing unlock. (may have to use fastboot OEM unlock) I've seen both work for some reason. If you are successful your Pixel will give you a message saying the bootloader is unlocked and OS verification is off. Once it's complete it will boot into the bootloader again. Once this happens, boot normally and hurry through the setup wizard so you can enable developer options and enable USB Debugging.
Now, once this is done boot to the bootloader and open another command prompt window and type fastboot devices to verify you are connected. If you are connected then you can fastboot flash the Android"N" bootloader and install the developer preview. Lemme know how you make out.

Thanks for the very descriptive post. The thing is that I have already done all that, with the exception of using ADB, the pop-up never appeared and my Pixel C appears as unauthorized in adb devices.
I know for a fact that the bootloader is unlocked, because everything got wiped afterwards, and I also get the message saying that the bootloader is unlocked in every boot.
The thing is I cannot flash neither the developer preview nor the TWRP image. I read somewhere about a similar thing some users had on Pixel C, but the solution was to either do something via TWRP or use fwtool that needs root. And I can do neither.
So that's why I started this topic to see if anyone can think of anything else.

On thing to try is to go into the settings Developer Options and "revoke USB debugging authorization". Connect to PC and you should then be asked to allow the "fingerprint". Hopefully that will fix it. I assume you've tried changing the connection type - charging, File transfer etc. If you are using W10 Pro then you may have driver issues. There are many posts on the net about that os and Google's driver but I've yet to find a definitive answer, I now use a USB C card see http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/help/windows-10-pixel-c-type-c-ports-t3414423
I have searched the net high and low for a answer to this question but nothing I have tried works.
I have used every adb and fastboot installer i could find, but nothing i do get fastboot working on my 5t. ADB is recognised and i can reboot to the bootloader from a command shell. But as soon as i type "fastboot devices" it shows nothing.
I have been into device manager and it shows issues with the fastboot driver, i have tried everything i can think of to fix this issue.
I would really love to root my 5t and and have never encountered this many issues on any of my previous devices.
Running a 64gb OP5T and Windows 10
Thank you for your help
I have now re-installed windows 10, re-installed all drivers and ADB and fastboot. ADB is still working but nothing from fastboot. It's recognised properly in device manager but nothing shows up when I type fastboot devices or fastboot OEM unlock. Any tips would be great.

When you say "nothing shows up", what exactly is the response?
How are you getting into the bootloader? Use this from recovery or system:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then proceed.
ADB is working fine. But as soon as I reboot to fastboot mode the phone doesn't respond. I can't work it out have tried everything.

It just says waiting for device or says nothing and brings up a new line. I'm guessing the fastboot driver is the problem. I have installed the Oneplus drives included with the phone. I've installed the universal ones, still nothing.
Is there an individual fastboot driver I could manually install through device manager?
Appreciate the help.
The issue is finally fixed! I went into device manager and changed the driver from a list of drivers on my pc to WINUSB and now its working
Same problem here pal, how did you change driver to winusb, seems I've got all the gear just no idea... By gear I mean files/drivers lol. Rooted so many devices I thought this would be easy, looking forward to getting it sorted. I love a custom rom
Hello,
I've been trying for the past several hours to unlock the bootloader of my Moto Z2 Play (model:XT1710-09) by following different tuturials but fastboot don't seem to detect my phone, no matter what i do.
Nothing happens when i type “fastboot devices” in the command window.
I've noticed that my phone appear in the device manager in "other devices" as "Fastboot albus S" when it is in bootloader mode, which doesn't seems normal.
Edit: Some additional info: -i am on windows 10 pro
-ADB detect the phone whit no problem but Fastboot doesn't
-when connected with usb debugging enabled, windows detect it as "ADB interface" (which seems normal) and use "C:\\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys" as driver (which seems less normal to me, i may be wrong)
-i tried installing Motorola specific drivers but i only found MotorolaDeviceManager, which doesn't seem to do anything, and no way to download the drivers manually
Edit 2: I still don't know why i can't get it to work on windows but i just managed to do it using a linux bootable usb, my device is unlocked \o/
If anyone know why fastboot doesn't wok on my windows and how to get it to work, i'm still interested
