Hello!!
Well, hey guys. I thought I tell you the story, on why I posted this thread.
It started as I was installing Windows 8, on my laptop, and had the same problem, as some others. I just could not install the drivers, for my Droid, so I had a looksee and found that Windows 8 didn't yet have the capability, to download unsigned drivers, unlike Windows 7. So, I found a way of "tricking" Windows, into thinking, that these drivers are legit and it isn't forbidden to use, which is exactly what this tutorial tells Windows, in a way.
So, get going and use the full potential of your Android device!
Tutorial:
I have found a solution, to the following problem;
After installing Windows 8, you cannot install fastboot drivers, but it recognizes the ADB drivers...
Solution:
Open the dev-manager, by typing following, in a command prompt window, or the run dialog. Whichever you prefer... : devmgmt.msc
Now, the dive manager, should pop up.
Install ADB drivers, (If you do not have them present, download them here/
To prevent confusion: When I say install, it can mean unpack, or instal... Quick tip: An installer does nothing, apart from unpacking files, to allocated space, on your computer
Download USB drivers, from here. (Link fixed)
Should you NOT have drivers installed:
Install the USB drivers, and download ADB/fastboot drivers.
Installation of ADB/fastboot drivers:
Open the device manager, and look for "Samsung Mobile Device", or "Unidentified Device". You can make your search easier, by unplugging the phone, whilst in device manager, then plug it back in, and see what's changed...
Once you have found your phone, Perform a right-click, on the device. Select : "Update device drivers", once the dialog has poped up, choose "Browse my computer" and goto your dsktop, where you have installed the files to.
Open just the "drivers" folder, nothing else...
Select OK, then wait for installation to finish.
Once that has been done, you need to reboot your device, into bootloader mode; do this by typing
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\adb reboot-bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
into the command prompt (download & install this, if you want to do it the cmd-way...)
Or, turn off your phone, and reboot i it manually into bootloader-mode, by pressing
Code:
VOL UP +DWM & PWR
together, untill phone vibrates...
Once the phone is in bootloader, go back to the device manager, and look for a device named "android 1.0". Perform a right-click on this and select "Update device drivers". Again, selct "Browse my computer", but, instead of clicking on "Browse" and selecting the folder, again, select "Let me pick, from a list of drivers." Once the menu has popped up, select "Samsung Android ADB interface". Click OK, and wait for the drivers to install . Then, you're done. You have then successfully installed the ADB + fastboot drivers correctly, to test this, open a cmd window, and type following:
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
fastboot devices.
If your device shows up, then you have done it!!
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb kill-server
Note: while the phone is booting (If you typed "adb wait-for-device") A cursor will blink, wait for that, to stop blinking, then type the next command
I hope you learned, from this tutorial!! Check my root helper out, if you have enough time
Should you have problems, in recovery, open your dev. manager, and look for following device:
Code:
Full
Select, right-click. Update driver (blah, blah, witter, droan)
Browse my computer -> Let me pick -> Samsung ADB -> Done. You have enabled the ADB drivers, on your SAMUNG GALAXY NEXUS!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Addition: You can only reboot into bootloader, if you are using a motorola, Google or HTC branded Android device! This will NOT work with Samsung models (i.e. Galaxy S II/III) due to the fact, that they use Odin mode. Should the drivers need updating, for some devices, please let me know!
Motorola Razr
Hello, I was wondering if this would work for the Motorola drivers. I've been trying to install them so that I can fastboot my Razr, but it quits right after it recognizes that I'm on Windows 8.
I guess I might as well just try it in the meantime!
-Jake
Edit: In the ADB drivers link you posted, there's nothing to install. Just .sys files, .dlls, two .cat files, and some .infs. How exactly does one do anything with these files? Also, your second link for USB drivers was removed by mediafire.

Download MotoHelper. Right click the file and run in compatibility mode. It should install the drivers. I used this to run fastboot with my xoom.
It still hangs while running as admin under compatability mode for 7, I'll try as XP momentarily.
Edit: XP compatability didn't work either.

Bummer, I just remembered there was a setting to skip os version check in compatibility mode. Did you try that? If that won't work unfortunately I don't know what else to try. Sorry.

First of all, thanks, for letting me know about the link It's uploading again ^^
Yes, you can do the same for your Motorola. But only with the ADB drivers. Just do the same as with the Samsung. Select your device, form the devman. and right click. Update device drivers -> Browse -> Let me choose from a list... -> Samsnung ADB interface.
They are all provided by Google, inc. so, they are compatible, with every Android device. I've even used my Samsung ADB drivers, for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. So I can actually say, for myself, that they work. You then can work, using fastboot... ^^
Have fun fastbooting!

To your edit. You have extracted the files. This is also called "installing" because you have extracted NEEDED files. Even when you extract a .zip/.rar/.tar/.tar.gz and so on, because you need files out of them, you are installing, but not to the system, but to yourself
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this method is not working for me on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. When I'm trying to install the ADB drivers, it says the drivers cannot be installed because it's not digitally signed.
UPDATE: I got it to work by disabling the Digital Signature Enforcement on Windows 8. Steps: Restart Windows > Boot loader Menu > Other Options > Advance Options > *Computer Automatically Restarts* > Press F7 to Disable Digital Signature Enforcement

Yes, it should work with all Android-modification applications. I have never really had problems, with Odin, with any version of Windows, mainly because this is the first thing I do, on any of my Windows machines, but it is always worth a try Tell us, what you have found out!
If necessary, I'll try to find a solution myself

Did you follow the tutorial COMPLETELY, or did you leave stuff out? If you left something out, it's obviously not going to work
You may have to disable device driver signing, I've had quite a few people notify me about this.
But I'll sign the drivers, ASAP, so you won't have this problem

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to upgrade my phone from Yakjudv to Takju/JB. Unfortunately I've run into some issues, and as they are quite different from the questions in my original thread, I thought it best to start a new one. I do apologise if this was the wrong thing to do! I just thought that an answer to this may be helpful for others, as my searching for an answer is coming up blank.
Before I found XDA forums, I had downloaded and installed Wug's toolkit, and used it to manually install drivers for my phone. This led me to being able to find my phone's serial number when I load toolkits or run adb devices tools.
I then tried to backup my ROM using the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21266325&postcount=239
Unfortunately, I got an error saying 'can't mount SD Card' (presumably because the GNex doesn't have an SD Card). Being worried about this, I thought it might be a driver based issue, so I tried to uninstall my drivers by:
1. uninstalling them from device manager (including deleting the driver software);
2. disabling downloads of drivers in windows; and
3. uninstalling all entries related to Galaxy Nexus, Google and Samsung in UDBview
I restarted, plugged my phone in, and the phone suddenly reinstalled, finding drivers on its own. It showed Galaxy Nexus and Samsung ADB device as being installed. When I tried to manually install universal drivers from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735 , I was told by my PC that up to date drivers were already installed.
I don't seem to be able to uninstall the drivers, no matter what I do. I have even tried to uninstall the drivers using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (I'm trying to avoid using this, but thought it might do the job).
Is this a problem?
If so, is there anything I can do to uninstall the drivers properly?
Thank you so much in advance, everyone!

Google USBDeview, and download the application. When you run the program, make sure to right click and "run as administrator". This will show you all of the drivers installed on your computer. Delete anything that says "Samsung" "Galaxy" or "Nexus". This will give you a clean slate to start with.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried to do this, and uninstalled all of the Google/Samsung/Galaxy/Nexus options, but the minute I plug my phone in, it all just reinstalls!

Thanks for this. I have used it to install the drivers for when in fastboot mode, and I forced installation for the Samsung ADB Device that showed up in my Device Manager.
Do I need to do anything for the driver for the "Galaxy Nexus" device?
Thanks so much!

I've been spending the better part of the day trying to resolve this problem, including poring through a good chunk of the 200+ pages of the 10.1 Nightlies thread over in development. I've been trying to set up ADB over USB with CM 10.1 however it does not register at all except as a USB mass storage device. I've tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them both directly from Samsung in the driver package as well as via Keis, having it auto-detect in Download mode, as well as using the modified INF drivers that have been floating around but nothing seems to work. I've tried right-clicking the four unknown Android devices in the Device Manager to install the aforementioned drivers but nothing seems to take. I've also attempted to follow the instructions at .ttp://itekblog.com/cyanogenmod-10-1-with-adb-tutorial to no avail. The most recent ADB from the SDK doesn't pull it up when listing devices either; please see the attached image.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
You can use adb devices in command prompt and it should show your phone or use clockworkmod app and application for computer will work . Also easy tether pro works need the app on phone and computer as well.

ADB devices in the command prompt displays no devices as connected. From what I've been able to find, it seems to be a driver problem but I'm at a loss as to how to get it installed correctly. I have CM10.1 as well as TWRP installed and working fine, but I've been trying to do some application development recently and this is a major stumbling block, since if I can't get this sorted out I'll probably end up having to go back to using stock.
Edit: I have since been able to fix it. Here are the steps I followed.
1. Right click on the device in the device manager.
2. Click "Update Driver Software".
3. Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
4. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
5. Select Manufacturer: Google Inc. and Model: Android ADB Interface.
6. You may receive a warning at this point. Ignore it and click yes.
7. It should be working at this point.

Is this fix also for my Xperia Mini? I'm using PAC Rom which based on CM10.1 as well and I also can't connect to my phone via ADB
My ADB is working whenever the phone is in Fastboot or Recovery but not when it is fully booted.
I can't find the developer "google inc". I guess i'll have to try some of the other steps that you have taken.
EDIT: i followed this guide even though it is for a Samsung phone and I have a HTC One X

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:

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:
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.

My phone shows up as a portable device/Nexus 5x . Are you saying it should be in Device Manager choose the Google | Android ADB Interface?

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?
