Hello,
Before I proceed using doomlord's rooting script. It says that the ADB driver needs to be installed.
Is the ADB driver the same as the USB driver?
Yes. I installed the drivers from the 'How to Root' thread (the one that uses Odin), and I was able to use ADB no problem. Assuming you are running Windows, of course.

I think that's incorrect. In order to use adb you have to download and install the android sdk, and within the sdk manager download adb if not included in the sdk by default which includes the drivers.

Obviously you need ADB installed, but it's going to use the same driver (for the phone) as the USB driver from Samsung. ADB is not a driver.
To use ADB you need both ADB from the SDK and the Samsung driver for the phone. ADB is not included in the SDK by default, you need to get it in the platform-tools package.

In these tutorials the android SDK is outdated - Download it from the official site, to get the latest version.
I used the first method to set it up on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. I can confirm it works.

ADB works fine in Windows 7, even on x64. Download the latest HTC Sync, run the setup file then cancel it after the first stage (driver install) if you only want the drivers. Then go to your adb directory via command prompt and type adb remount (make sure the phone is plugged in and turned on, doesn't need to be unlocked or set to Disk drive though)

Use the 1wayjonny's drivers from here. Uninstall all the other drivers, including any hidden drivers, boot your phone normally with USB Debugging enabled in dev settings. Then install the driver manually, i.e., unzip it to a location, then right click on the device in device manager, and install, but don't select auto, select "you choose" (or whatever it is called), and then select "select from a list" and "have disk", and browse to the location where you unzipped the drivers.

Why do you try adb in cygwin? Cygwin doesn't use the cmd of windows so adb won't work.

One thing i want to tell you is that,
You can install other device driver for that device too.
Just go to device manager and right click the unknown usb device and install driver from the list and choose android phone. or just download this driver and choose this using same process :- https://adbdriver.com/upload/samsung_android_usb_driver.exe
Dont worry this will work for every device.:good::good:

Best way to install up-to-date drivers:
Gett flashtool from the Sony website and extract the .exe with 7-Zip:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool
There is an executable file "Sony_Mobile_Software_Update_Drivers_x64_Setup.exe", install it
If you are trying to install the drivers in Windows 10, you need to go into safe mode and start the machine with 'driver signing disabled'
Then install the drivers.
You have to connect your phone in flashmode, go to the device manager, find the phone and manually add the right driver. Windows automatically assignes the wrong driver.
Edit: Sony driver is found here
Okay I got a problem I just got mine finally today in the mail. my Windows 10 recognizes it in ADB but as soon as I go to fastboot no matter what I do it's like it doesn't see the drivers anymore. Anybody have an idea how to get around this so I can unlock the bootloader?
Edit:. Nevermind I finally found a driver package that worked. What a deal
Have you tried installing these drivers? https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
You need to download or update SDK Platform Tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Please could you share the driver pack that worked for you?
Then just let us know which driver you installed so that the Pixel 6 was recognized. And a download link wouldn't be bad either - that helps others with the same problem.

Yet Another Universal ADB Driver Package and adbupdater for Windows

On Windows 11 the official r13 Google USB Driver pack worked - but only after booting into an alternative mode that allows unsigned drivers. For some reason Google's drivers are not signed, and Win11, with TPM+SecureBoot refuses to load those drivers in normal mode.

It sounds like you're talking about accessing the phone's storage via MTP. When you plug the phone into the computer, you may need to choose the new notification regarding charging and switch it to the mode to be able to access the storage. Probably defaults to "Charging this device via USB", and you need to click on it and select something like "File transfer/ Android Auto". This won't require any new Windows drivers.
Please correct me if you're not talking about accessing the phone's storage.

Personally, I would always use the official drivers Google provides unless they just don't work for whatever reason: Get the Google USB Driver (this is for Windows). They work for me. They are rarely updated, but they are every once in a great while, sometimes years in-between.

I agree with this. be careful using drivers or adb/fastboot tools. Some are fine, but there's no need for it really anymore. Google has made it very easy to install drivers and Platform-Tools (adb/fastboot tool).
Google provides the Fastboot/ADB tool (Platform-Tools) and Google USB Drivers (adb/fastboot interface). This will allow any Pixel to interface with Windows using the fastboot/adb protocol. Official Google USB Driver includes support for both the Fastboot and ADB driver interface. There are 3 main drivers (Fastboot, ADB and MTP/Portable File Transfer). The MTP/Portable File Transfer driver is built-in to Windows 7-11.
Fastboot/ADB Driver Interface - Official Download Link:
When flashing a full image or unlocking your bootloader, the fastboot interface is being used.
First Download official Google USB Drivers (it's a zip file). Extract the zip (important!). Right-click on the android_winusb.inf file and hit install. You can then restart your phone to the Bootloader Screen (hold vol-down while it restarts or turns on). When you plug in your phone, Windows Device Manager will show a new device at the top: Android Device: Android Bootloader Interface.
Using the ADB interface: It's the same driver. Enable USB Debugging on your phone, then plug it in to your computer. A prompt will appear on your phone (to allow USB Debugging). The driver in Device Manager will appear as Android Device: Android Composite ADB interface.
Now you can download and use Platform-Tools to flash an Android Image, OTA or run adb/fastboot commands.
Official Download Page
"Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK. It includes tools that interface with the Android platform, such as adb, fastboot, and systrace"
It's best to make Platform-Tools available system-wide. Download Platform-Tools from the above link and extract it to your C:\ drive - that way you will have a folder to add to the PATH Environment under Window System Properties Menu, Advanced, Environment Variables, System Variables, PATH (google how to do this, very easy). What this does is allow adb/fastboot commands to be run from anywhere in the system, so you don't have to be in the platform-tools folder to run adb/fastboot commands and flash an Android Image (Official or Android Fork such as ProtonAOSP).
My problem ended up being that my USB Hub went bad... Was getting Yellow Exclamation in Device Manager and an error when going into Fastboot. Once I plugged directly into the PC, no issues. New hub ordered!
