[Q] Fastboot Adb drivers not installing, please help[SOLVED]

I've been trying since last night to root my Nexus, because I want to install Jelly Bean. When I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to install my drivers it did fine for adb. When I go into device manager it shows up as Android Phone like its supposed to. However, when I boot into fastboot mode, my computer no longer recognizes my Nexus and when I got into device manager, nothing shows up for it...not even Android 1.0.
Can someone please give me some tips as how to fix this issue.
P.S. I also installed the Google SDK along with the Google USB drivers afterwards, hoping that would fix the issue...but no luck...and I tried PDAnet...still no luck
The issue I was having was due to the fact that I wasnt pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+Power, so I wasnt even in fastbook, but a screen similar to it

The driver needs to be installed TWICE: once when you are booted normally, and once when booted in fastboot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28060885&postcount=3

Hi,
I am using sony sricsson neo .587. I tried to connect my phone in fastboot mode. I connected in fastboot mode. I am not able to install drivers for that.
Steps I Followed
1. I updated google usb driver
2. Replaced "android_winusb.inf" file which is provided by Sony official
3. Connected phone in fastboot mode
4. It asked for drivers
5. I selected usb driver folder to install drivers
But It fails...
I am doing these all things on Windows 7 64 bit
Please help...

Phone not recognized in windows 7

I am already rooted and on xposed using a win8.1 laptop. Followed the root guide by Heisenberg (sdk and adb drivers etc), however, on my desktop running windows 7 64 bit, I am not above to get my phone to show up with MTP. The option PTP however has no problem.
ADB is recognized in windows, but fastboot and adb are not recognized when in bootloader mode
Switching over to Win8.1, I have no such problems. Tried searching for win 7 updates and drivers but not much luck there, still cant get device manager to show the nexus 5x.
I prefer using the win7 as it is my main desktop versus the win8.1 which is a laptop that I leave mainly in the office.

Bump for this, Windows 7 users help!

Have you tried "uninstalling" the 5X device in device manager?
After that re-plug the phone and it should reinstall the driver.
Do this for both in Android and in bootloader.

Well, you can't use adb in bootloader mode because that has never been a thing.
adb is available only in Android system and recovery mode.
All you can do in bootloader mode is to use fastboot to unlock bootloader, flash images and wipe partitions.

Ah yes for the adb, i forgot about that. Tried mounting storage in twrp, device does not show up too.
I had a nexus 4 which showed up in win7 but not 8.1. Now nexus 5x is showing up in 8.1 but not 7, wth.

Ok just done it. Damm, at least 1 problem is solved
I followed your instruction and uninstalled the Google Adb Interface in device manager (didnt tried it at first as this was installed properly) and reinstalled it pointing the path to the sdk drivers, now I got fastboot in bootloader and adb in recovery respectively. In recovery mode, my nexus 5x shows up as a storage drive in my computer which allows file transfers However upon reboot, adb is not detected in android system and 5x not showing up in computer drive still.

What I had was
Android>Google Nexus ADB Interface , this works fine for adb and fastboot
Instead of Portable>Android, I had Unknown Devices with a exclamation instead hence the uninstall and reinstall would not show it as Portable android, only as unknown device.
Solved:
Solution for me would be clicking the notifications in the bottom left. saw that a Nexus 5x was still attached as a hardware even though the storage was not shown under computer.
- Uninstall the unknown device, 5x is still shown as attached in notifications
- Right-click the "safely remove hardware.."> open devices and printers and double click 5x
- Choose Update device drivers and point the path to the universal usb drivers ( android sdk)
5x mtp storage is now showing under computer drives but adb does not work in android system, only recovery. Good enough for me
Thanks alot for your help and time!!

Just what I needed to do thanked

No fastboot devices but can use adb devices.

Hey, I am having trouble pushing TWRP onto my op3 via fastboot. I managed to unlock my bootloader successfully but after that, I know cannot flash TWRP. When I type in "adb devices" It returns a string, however "fastboot devices" does nothing. I've uninstalled and re-installed oneplus usb, fastboot and adb drivers countless time and even reset my PC twice. Any ideas? This is really frustrating as I was on TWRP fine before I had to RMA my op3 where they put it back to stock. Any ideas? Thanks

I have the same problem ADB works but Fastboot not.... I have all drivers correct installed..

Got the same problem too, after unlocking the bootloader the fastboot devices cannot find anything
Tested several drivers and even another laptop :/
Rom: OOS 3.2.7
PC: Windows 10

But phone starts ok in OOS system?
If, yes, download TWRP 3.0.2.1 original & TWRP 3.0.2.1-19 modified. Put them in phone sd card. Download FLashify from Play store and flash recovery .img. Then go recovery to test if it works.
One of those will work.

I've solved that problem by installing Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine the phone Was recognized and has installed the drivers by itself. And fastboot was working
I don't know why fastboot is not working on Windows 10....

Thanks for the different solutions, I'll try it for myself.
But I'm still wondering why the unlock worked because there it used fastboot too

Had the same issue, here's what fixed it for me:
(On Windows 10)
1 - Plug your device while on and install the OP3 drivers that appear as a removable disk, I reinstalled them also, so no harm in doing that again.
2 - Run admin command prompt from wherever you have your adb and fastboot
3 - get your device into fastboot/bootloader mode "adb reboot bootloader"
4 - press windows key + X and go to device manager, look for the Android device with exclamation mark
5 - right click on Android Device > update driver software > browse my computer... > let me pick... > look for Android and then select Android Fastboot Interface if memory serves me right.
And that's it. Fastboot should be recognized now. That's what worked for me when windows recognized adb but not fastboot, hope it helps out.
Remember to hit the thanks button if I helped you out.

I have just installed on my Windows 10, a Virtual Machine (VMware) with Windows 7 installed all driver oneplus 3 and adb+fastboot and it works

I have the same issue. Got my OP3 yesterday and have been trying in vain to get my Windows 10 install to recognise the phone in fastboot mode, but to no avail. I am unable to unlock my bootloader.

I think the problem is with Windows 10. My laptop did an update yesterday, I think that's the problem.

Got some news for you:
I was so frustrated that I decided to install Windows 7 over my Windows 10 and have a try.
Well what should I say: everything worked on the first try, without any problems with the original driver which comes with the op3 when you plugin the phone.
Hope I could help

It appears to be an issue with Windows 10 drivers. I have used an ancient install of Xubuntu on an older EeePC in order to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and SuperSU. I've still had no luck getting fastboot to be recognised on Windows 10, though on Xubuntu, it is recognised instantly with no issues.

I'm not at my pc atm but I'll try my best:
If you plugin your op3 there will be a cd mounted with the setup for the driver.
I just installed this driver with the setup.exe (on a complete new instance of Windows 7).
After the installer was finished, I opened cmd.exe and could use adb and fastboot.

Unlock bootloader - "waiting for any device"

I got my OP3 today and am trying to unlock the bootloader. I've tried every tutorial and toolkit out there but they all get stuck at the same point in adb, "waiting for device". The "adb devices" command works fine but anything else gets stuck on "waiting for any device". I've tried googling the issue but none of the suggestions have worked so far. Any input would be great.

did you enable oem unlocking from developer options?

bro you may be running win 10 and to connect fastboot on that u need adb driver which u will find on windows update all u have to do is just connect your phone with data transfer mode and update the window 10 . ull find something name qalllcom its adb drive or i dont but after that it will like charm.

I have all the necessary developer options checked. After futzing with it for hours, I tried a different computer (also Windows 10) and it worked right away. I'm going to see what the driver issue is this evening because I still would like to use the original computer I was using. Thanks for the replies!

What does "adb devices" return?

Screenshot:

for bl unlock, you need to be at fastboot mode, and installed right driver, for me working any of stock Google USB package fastboot bootloader driver.

Go to fastboot mode and do "fastboot devices", then try unlocking bl.

You can install the driver after disabling the driver enforcement..

I've tried everything including disabling driver enforcement on Win 10 but I still have the same issue. I have the wrong drivers installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but when I plugin the phone, the wrong drivers get installed. I got it to work on another Windows 10 computer and below are device manager screenshots of the working (with right drivers) and not working (with wrong drivers) computers. I have no idea how to get the right drivers installed on the computer where its not working and unfortunately, its the primary computer I use.

Try this:
Connect the op3 to usb port - don't bother changing from "charging"
Right click on "ADB Interface" in dev man and disable it.
Without unplugging the op3 use the buttons to reboot into bootloader.
Hopefully W10 will now detect your op3 and either load the correct "oneplus" driver or create a new entry in dev man of Other Devices > Android Composite ADB Interface. Right click on this and then Update driver software > Browse my computer.... > Let me pick... > and if you're lucky One plus will show up in the manufacturer column and allow you to select the composite interface

Okay so this is the problem. I figured it out 2 days ago.
check the bootloader driver when you're in fastboot. Right click it and update driver, it should be the Android Bootloader 9.00, and not Bootloader 11.00
it's a silly weird fix, but it should be under Android and not Kedacom
I was using the Android SDK Studio Platform Tools and Google Drivers provided from SDK Studio

deleted

Similiar to the previous users post I'll try and be a bit more clear.
unplug your device if plugged in.
boot in to fastboot mode on your device.
Go to your PC and access device manager
plug your device in and you should see
"kedacom" instead of android interface
now inside you wanna click update driver
browse my compute for driver software > let me pick from a list of driver software > "Android adb sooner interface"
if its not that exact one check for the one that does say adb interface.

I created a bootable USB drive with Linux Mint to solve my problem. It was Windows 10 that would recognize my OnePlus 3 in "Fastboot Mode" with Kedacom drivers.

Fastboot Issues

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.

check this link specially driver signature enforcement disable part, it may help

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
