Sideload issue - error: no devices/emulators found - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says it all lol..
Trying to sideload the OTA and all it gives me is error: no devices/emulators found

you need to change your driver, go to your device manager, the android device, update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, there should be a driver that says adb or something like that

I checked and I checked and I couldn't even find it in the device manager when its sitting in sideload mode, and there wasn't any unrecognised devices either :\

Ok - so when my phone is in Sideload/Download mode it is showing up as "Serial port/COM5" - What the hell?

Wooo issue solved with http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

[Q] Almost there w/adb

After struggling for two days to get adb up and running, I finally got the cmd window up and able to get to adb shell. After running daemon it returns-
error: device not found
sh-3.2$
So are my drivers missing or not in the right place? any help greatly appreciated.
xD lol get the universal naked drivers from efrants thread . Then with the phone plugged in go to device manager and uninstall the drivers... then unplug the phone, install the drivers put the phone in fastboot mode (volume up + volume down + power) and plug it in again... enjoy

When installing the drivers, with the GNex connected, go to the Device Manager in windows. Right click the unknown device that appears on your list and right click to update the driver. Select browse (as opposed to automatic driver lookup) and navigate to the folder where you have the modified driver extracted to:
http://github.com/gu1dry/android_winusb/zipball/master (this modified driver comes directly from the CyanogenMod wiki)
this should solve your problem.
type on the cmd: adb devices
and if any device actually shows up, then you have installed drivers successively.

Help GNex has no OS and won't connect to a PC!

Windows 8.1; but had same problem with Windows 7 computer.
USB device not recognized
The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned. And Windows does not recognize it.
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported
problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed
Tried using WUGS Toolkit to install drivers, not happening.
The phone charges via usb port with no problems
On top of that, daughter wiped phone, there are no ROMS, or usable backups.
I can get into TWRP Recovery, but it can recover what isn't there. Tried factory
reset, still nothing. No matter what I do, I get No OS Installed! Are you
sure you wish to reboot? If I do reboot, just get GOOGLE screen with lock
symbol.
Without being able to get a computer to see the phone, I can't get a ROM to
load.
Maybe change USB port with cable? But I don't want to do that if the problem
is software related.
Any ideas what I can do???
I just went through something similar like this last week, what a pain in the A$$.
Not entirely sure if this will fix your issue, but hopefully it'll help some how.
I ended up having to manually install galaxy nexus driver so I could sideload a ROM since I formatted my internal storage to test out this new F2FS BS... Anyways.
LOL
First you'll need to download and unzip "universal naked driver 0.72" Google it.
Now, without your GN connected open device manager and THEN when you plug in your GN to your PC you should see it pop up in the portable devices section.
AND also under other devices there should be "galaxy nexus" right click on it and click "update driver software"
Click "browse my computer for driver software" select the unzipped universal naked driver folder, click next and click "install this driver software anyway"
Now it should show "Google galaxy nexus ADB interface" in device manager under Samsung Android Phone.
Reboot GN into bootloader
OR
recovery (if you have a ADB supported recovery eg. TWRP 2.7.0.0, and enter ADB mode)
Now there are 2 ways to do flash an Android OS, some may find 1 easier then the other:
download/install "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit aka NRT v1.8.3.sfx"
Google it.
Run NRT and it'll instruct and guide you through the steps required and whatever is needed to continue, eg. Select device, download TWRP 2.7.0.0...ETC.
Or
Download/install ADB setup 1.3
Google it.
I found this method a little more simpler.
Open the folder you have your ROM/gapps zip files saved on your PC, hold down shift key and right click on the folder, click "Open command window here"
Now in the command window type in "adb sideload XXXXX.zip"
XXXXX = COPY/PASTE the ROM file name. Eg. 20140615PA443RC2.zip
Press enter and now it'll flash the ROM onto your GN.
Repeat the same steps for gapps/kernel zip files.
Reboot your GN and enjoy.
BTW
I'm still loving running ParanoidAndroid Jellybean 4.1.2.
Its like pain in the A** to install phone/adb drivers in win8/8.1
I had a similar issue with my gNex a while ago but i had the drivers installed in my pc so it wasn't that difficult.
Why don't you try to install this toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../gnex-toolkit-v11-1-0-drivers-backup-t1392310
When you run the toolkit, it may ask you to select your device, build number etc and also about installing device drivers.
Install the drivers through it and then connect the device in recovery (twrp) mode.
it should detect it and then you can push files/roms to sdcard (internalMemory) using adb push or the built in options in the toolkit.
then flash the rom and you're done
and i recommend using win7 or xp or vista for doing this because the driver installation in win8/8.1 is a bit difficult compared with other previous windows versions but there is still a way to install drivers in win8/8.1 its just a lengthy process
All the best :good:

OK, downloaded universal naked driver 0.72, connected gnex, but it only shows up under Universal Serial Bus controllers as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed), not under Portable Devices, and will not allow install of of universal naked drivers, & yes I have toggled to allow win 8.1 to installed unsigned drivers. Since I cannot get phone to turn on to full android, it is not recognized. Any other suggestions?

You have to go to the device manager, double click on the "unknown usb..."
a dialog box may appear and then click on the 'driver' tab.
There u may find update/install driver button.
click on it and another window may open.
then select browse my computer for driver software and go to the respective folder where the drivers are.
then click next and it may install the drivers.
if you have installed the toolkit then you may find a folder in the toolkit's installation folder which has drivers in it.go through it if you want :good:

Google drivers not working on Nexus 5X/Marshmallow on Win7 - Is the phone too new?

I have my new Nexus 5X with Android 6 on it. I am trying to unlock and root.
I have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
I have downloaded and installed the SDK package with Platform-Tools and drivers in the 'Extras' folder.
When first plugging in the phone I install the drivers with the 'Have Disk' and browse method.
Every time, installing the driver returns an Error 'Code 10 - device cannot start. 'Android ADB interface' shows up in device manager when I plug in the phone but with an exclamation point.
I have uninstalled, downloaded fresh drivers from other sources, reinstalled, tried plugging the phone in while in 'recovery' mode (starting by pressing all 3 hardware buttons).
I uninstall every time and reboot both the computer and the phone. The drivers simply won't work.
What is going on here? Is the phone/Android 6 still too new to unlock and root?
P.S. I should also say that I go into Developer options and change the Select USB Configuration between PTP and MTP (between which, I have not seen mention of the correct choice. Does it not matter?) - I cannot chose the others RNDIS, Audio Source, or MIDI; it seems to want to default to 'Charging' when I try to change to these choices.
Having the same issues on Windows 8.1. Can't get my 5x to connect to transfer files or to show up in adb.
Just need the right drivers. Download the driver files from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e43knzpxvr9hzqi/AAC7Yiz8EShMpFiMkClPpkC5a?dl=0
1. Then with the phone plugged in and in PTP mode go into the device manager on your PC.
2. You'll probably have an Android device listed with an exclamation point showing. Right click on it.
3. Pick update driver.
4. Pick browse my computer for driver software.
5. Then pick "let me pick from a list of device drivers.
6. Then pick have disk.
7. Navigate to the folder you downloaded and select android_winusb
8. Let it install and you should be ok

I was running into the same issue. The problem is you need to install them first as an ADB Interface Device (not composite) with the phone on and plugged in. From Device Manager choose the Google | Android ADB Interface (not the composite one. I saw another reference to making sure it's in PTP mode which may force it to this one as well but I didn't test). Then when you get into FastBoot mode on your phone and plug it in you can go through the same Update Driver steps and choose the "Android ADB Interface" for it as well when it shows the Nexus 5 with the yellow triangle. Then you should be good to go.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. Part of it is I did so many different approaches they've bled together in my head and I was on my way out the door yesterday when I fired off the reply.
To try to break it down from memory (going to throw in a couple of different options since I can’t seem to fully uninstall / reinstall so please provide any corrections once you get it to work or let me know if anything doesn’t match what you find and I’ll try to remember from there):
Phase I (phone on and connected to computer):
Open Device Manager. My phone shows as Android Device | Android Composite ADB Interface or Android ADB Interface.
If it is the Composite version, I believe I had to update it to the straight “Android ADB Interface to get Phase II to work)
If you don’t see that, look to see if you have any uninstalled devices by scanning for new. If so, then right click on that device, and choose “Update Driver”
Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
Choose the “Have disk” option and browse to your USB Driver folder
From there, choose “Google | Android ADB Interface”
Phase II (phone in recovery connected to computer)
On phone, choose “Update device from ADB”
Open Device Manager and you should see the Nexus 5 under Other Devices with the yellow triangle.
Right click on it and “Update Drivers”
Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
Choose “Let me pick from a list….”
Choose “Android Device”
Choose “Android ADB Interface”
Now you should be able to push the update over
Simple method: What I did was plug it in and wait for it to show up in device manager. Then I deleted the device (the one that shows adb) from device manager. Then I unplugged the device and plugged it back in... Then waited for drivers to install on it's own. Everything was good after that.
I have no trouble other than on Windows 10. Windows 10 doesn't even show the drivers from a list to install.

I followed this to get my Nexus 5X detected on my Windows 10: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ould-we-use-for-the-nexus-5/19839812#19839812
I have no trouble with Fastboot or adb. It only happens when I try and sideload. I end up have to use my Macbook Pro to sideload.

I wish it were that easy. But, no, this does not work. Nor do I believe my issue is the same as you others here, as I have Windows 7 and not the 8.1 and 10 issues that you are having.
No, no matter what driver I use, including any from your kind link, bsinc1962, they return an error, code 10 when trying just to install the drivers. I cannot go further.
What is this Code 10 error preventing drivers from installing?

Phone does not connect

It just doesn't show up in ADB devices. However, when I change ROMs it does, but gives me an error when trying to mount "not permitted"
Amazon was of no help. They gave an add on link to enter into SDK manager but it would fail every time... something on how it failed to update the status to complete. I'll add images later.
Can anyone help me with this? In case stuff goes south with my phone, I want to have a chance at recovery through ADB.

Cannot install USB drivers for Razer phone on Win10

Howdy,
I'm trying to get my phone unlocked and rooted. As the first step, of course, I'm trying to get the Google USB drivers to install, but I simply can't. I feel like I'm the only person having this issue, though because I cannot find a solution... The steps I'm following:
Downloaded the latest driver zip from Google
Open Device Manager
Expand Portable Devices
Right-click on the Phone entry (notice, that's the entry, "Phone". Not Razer.)
Choose Update Drivers
Browse my way to the drivers folder and click Next.
Windows then returns immediately "The best drivers for your device are already installed", and shows that it's an MTP USB Device.
I noticed that under USB devices, there's an ADB Interface device listed, and I get the same results when I try to update that, too (excepting it says it's an "ADB Interface" device, of course). I have tried uninstalling both devices to get the drivers to install, but no such. I've rebooted both phone and computer as well.
On the phone, USB Debugging is turned on, and USB mode is set to MTP file transfer.
Please help!
Figured it out...

In case anyone else is seeing the same issues, I wanted to put my resolution up: I'd been trying to install the drivers with the Razer booted. On a whim, I rebooted it into Download Mode using "adb reboot bootloader". Once there, I had an Android Device listed in Device Manager. I ran the driver update wizard, and installed the "USB ADB Interface" option from the choices presented. I was then able to run the OEM unlock command and received the confirmation prompt on the Razer. Yay!
Now, since it's been so long, I've got to re-back-up everything so I can actually do this thing. LOL
Here's the PDF from Razer's how to install a factory image over PC guide. It explains how to do it all
