Hi guys, hopefully someone can help.
I rooted the phone using unrevoked and now have clockworkmod recovery on the phone. Tonight I tried to connect the phone to the android SDK with no success.
Windows device manager only shows it as an Android Phone. Everytime I try to manually install the SDK usb drivers, it comes up with a message saying drivers aren't available. I have deleted and reinstalled the SDK usb drivers and have also deleted the android phone from the device manager as well as USBDView. Have had no success whatsoever.
How can I get ADB commands working again on the phone?
EDIT - SOLVED - Apparently I had to reinstall HTC Sync and it worked! strange how these things work!
Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this
My brother tried to do the update of his nexus through the phone download (not through the sd card or connecting to a computer). Since this it will not start up and if i go to download mode it says that it is downloading constantly (have left for hours).
I can make it to the clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.0 but unfortunately my brother didnt make a backup before trying to update to 4.2 jellybean.
The unfortunate part of this equation is that i cant access the phone via usb as the drivers wont install and the phone doesnt have an sd card slot except the sim card slot. So placing the correct files on the phone is proving too hard for me to complete.
Sorry if this situation has been covered before but i have searched for about 1.5 hours now to no avail. I would very much appreciate if someone can take me through how to get this phone working in any way possible (i dont care if he loses all data and goes back to stock).

CWM recovery offers the ADB interface. I would:
1. get the naked driver package (see Efrant's guide)
2. boot device into recovery and connect usb cable
3. open windows device manager, find your device and manually update the driver
4. use adb to backup the /sdcard to your computer
5. flash 4.2 stock images using fastboot
6. done

op, if you just want to get the device to working state again, and dont care about any data:
1. get the naked driver package (see Efrant's guide)
2. boot device into bootloader and connect usb cable
3. open windows device manager, find your device and manually update the driver
5. flash 4.2 stock images using fastboot
step 3 is the same, the same procedure, the same driver; windows is dumb so you have to tell it again when device is in bootloader (which, btw, is NOT the same as download mode).
Hi and thank you for the replies.
I have downloaded the naked driver but cant get it to work. I have followed the steps to make it work but i get to the device manager and there is no option for uninstalling current driver (as it has none currently). It only has update driver software (which if i use windows to search for it cant find any) and properties. The Galaxy Nexus icon in the device manager has the yellow exclamation mark sign on it. I can
When i try to manually find the naked driver it comes up with the following error
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface
Access Denied.
Where to from here lads, i appreciate the input

if you're using windows 7, i read something about you need to disable windows digital driver signature check, or something in those lines.
can't help any further on that subject, since i'm a Linux user (Windows knowledge is very limited) and also that is an operating system's issue and would be better discussed in a Windows forum, IMO.

Thank you for another helpful reply! Yes i am using windows 7 - i will try to perform the task now - results soon. In the meantime if anyone else knows instructions on how to do this i would love to hear
I am at work and dont have administrator settings on windows 7 so i went to an older computer and started fastboot.exe. I went to recover and there was the IP address of the computer went to that and recovered. From there i went to reboot and now i am just getting a Google in the middle of the phone (as before). I will wait some time to see if it will start up now. If not what is my plan?
So i havent got any closer to having a usable phone.
Im up to this step:
"flash 4.2 stock images using fastboot" how do i do this? i have fastboot and i have the stock image

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones (latest JOP40C)
Thanks for that i had since found that and have printed it and will work through each step methodically. I have the stock image on download.
I have spent the best part of my working day on it now. Fingers crossed it all works out.
Thanks to all who have helped me through this far
Hello. Im trying to root my N7 but my PC doesnt see it when I manually run adb or when I try auto root. I have done this before (when I first got it) without issue. Also I do have the drivers installed and the sdk so I am unsure why its not working. Additionally I tried on a 2nd pc and same thing. What am I missing? THanks!

Are you using the latest version of the Nexus Root Toolkit? It's got a driver installation guide to help these kinds of problems.
I often run into this with my Nexus 7. The two settings that have to be properly configured are enabling Android Debugging AND disabling Media device (MTP) in the storage settings (upper right hand corner - USB computer connection). Doing that usually allows the computer to detect the tablet as an ADB device, and go forward from there.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
thanks. downloaded the app but getting errors on my laptop (win8). will try on my pc tomorrow. also i should note that i have no problem seeing the nexus 7 in file explorer. i can move files without issue. Its only for adb that i cannot see it. i tried disabling mtp and going into fastboot mode but still no luck
thanks
OMG... finally got it working. I installed HTC Sync Manager again and decided to run it and see what happened. While it was scanning for music on my computer windows installed the drivers. More than once it seems.
Now I need to know if I can uninstall Sync Manager but keep the drivers. It keeps opening up and I don't know if it's safe to flash recovery if that's going to happen.
Flashed TWRP successfully and made my back up.
--------------------------
OLD NEWS BELOW:
Here's the deal... I just flashed the 3.x RUU so I'm stock but I'm unlocked and s-off. I'm trying to flash TWRP via fastboot so I can get a custom ROM on here. I turned on USB debugging on the phone.
First of all, that stupid HTC Sync manager keeps trying to install and I don't know how to stop it. Googling has not helped with this.
Second, I can't get the device to be seen in adb, or at least not online. I seem to be going backwards with all the steps I have taken to try to get this to happen.
I'm using dotatt's adb package. When I attach the phone while it is off windows looks for drivers and usually fails. One time it seemed to work and adb saw the device but then when it boots up that Sync Manager wants to install so I decline. Then my phone was seen but listed as offline.
So I tried uninstalling all HTC things on my computer and reattach phone. Didn't help anything. I tried installing the HTC Sync then uninstalling it thinking I would get the drivers, no go.
I grabbed these Universal ADB drivers http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver linked to from a twrp page here https://twrp.me/devices/htconem9.html
Nothing lists as a device in ADB at all now.
My windows Device Manager shows "Unkown Device" under "Other Devices" with no driver listed.
Tried this:
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Still not working.
ACK! Can anyone help me out?
Is there still an issue with using usb 3.0 ports? I feel like I heard something about that way back when.
That's pretty much how it's always been. Best way to get the appropriate drivers is to install HTC sync, let it do its thing, reboot the PC, then uninstall HTC sync without removing the drivers. To the best of my knowledge, been that way since at least the days of the Incredible, if not before. At least it's how I've always gotten the drivers to use adb.
Yeah I remember that from the Rezound, which is why I did that, but it seems that the drivers didn't actually get installed this time until I let HTC Sync Manager start running and scanning my computer. That's when I saw the message that it was looking for drivers and twice it told me it installed them.
I would think it would have them installed during the 'actual' installation process. So I guess I just uninstalled prematurely. Seems weird. But it's working now so all good.
I use win7 64 bit
Adb drivers are properly installed ...
Using stock recovery.
When i connect and check adb devices ,my device is listed
And getting connected.
But when it goes to sideload mode then error pops
up showing drivers are not properly installed.
Cannot execute adb sideload command.
Where can we find the driver for 64 bit to cure this
Problem.....
Pls help
Google? Its not so hard to find 64bit adb drivers. Anyways why dont you install TWRP? Its way easier and the stock rwcovery might give that error.
CE 354 cannot be flashed via twrp.It shows error.
Thus I changed to stock to sideload it.
Even in Twrp sideload ,the same issue remains
