Step-By-Step: Get USB 3 Ports Working on Win 8 (For Issues With ADB/Fastboot and RR)

You need to install Win7's USB drivers on Win8 in order to get ADB/Fastboot working on Win 8. I drove myself mad until some kind soul here (can't remember who) provided the following link. Hope this helps some of you exasperated with getting RumRunner working.

be warned, I have tried this 3 times already, and at some point throughout, on EVERY try, my computer would just STOP recognizing my USB devices, and I would have to use a recovery image on my computer because i couldnt log in to my desktop.
YMMV, but it didnt work at all for me

I made this guide. What I had to do was edit some Windows8 settings and install the drivers manually to get them to work.

This worked beautifully for me on Windows 8.1 RTM x64, thanks much.

I tried all this and still couldn't use Fastboot. My fix was in BIOS. I disabled xHCI mode in USB under advanced tab and everything is fine.

Worked great for me! Thanks!

Hi.I am creating a thread on this problem and I am using your idea on it and I will give credit to you too.
thanks alot.

Just wanted to let you guys know I got it working by installing pdanet. It installed it's drivers and everything worked after that.

My laptop has 2 USB 3 ports and 1 USB 2 port. fastboot/adb doesn't work on the 3s. I always use the 2 port and it works perfectly fine.

Guys the problems with windows 8 and windows 8.1 are normally the usb 3.0 drivers. Intel have not posted windows 8 drivers for series 7 and series 8. You need to modify the windows 7 drivers with other inf files. I have done the job for you so you can manually install the drivers.

I wasn't aware HTC released 8.1 drivers. I will give these a try. Thanks!

I just made a usb stick carrying win7 to boot off of on my girl's win8.1 laptop. Works wonderfully, the only issue i had when using this guide was i had to manually set the boot sector after finishing running the application.

Windows 8.1 Fastboot

I'm on a fresh install of Windows 8.1
Here's what I did.
1. Installed HTC Sync Manager
2. Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. ADB works fine, boot into bootloader.
4. Windows shows Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration) in Device Manager
Running fastboot devices returns nothing
I can connect my phone to view files, I can ADB on my phone, the only thing I cannot do is fastboot. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

I just experienced the exact same issue following the same steps on my laptop also running 8.1

Fastboot doesn't work w 8.1. No workaround. You need another OS.

From all of my research, you're the first person I've heard of having it working. Any specific drivers used? I'm very curious (currently, I have to use a backup machine to push TWRP updates to my VZW One)

Same thing here. 8.1 broke fastboot. Is this a Microsoft problem specifically because if it is I seriously doubt they will be in a hurry to patch it.

I have found out something based on the VMware experience. Can somebody try it out and report back???
I feel that the fastboot problem in windows 8.1 is related to the USB port.
For those people that having problem, are you guys using USB 2.0??? If yes do you have USB 3.0 port in your computer??? The real problem maybe is that fastboot only works with USB 3.0 but not USB 2.0 in windows 8.1...

I tried both USB types, and half a dozen drivers and workarounds, and nothing.
I don't believe the dude above got it working. He is probably thinking Win 8, not 8.1. I have it working on 8.

Flash Image GUI will probably do everything you need to do in fastboot without the need for a computer. I just threw 8.1 on one of my extra PC's, I'll see if I can get the drivers going. I feel like this was answered in another thread though, I think it is in the rumrunner thread...

Just another reason why 8 is bad

i just used http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/ and fastboot works on a 3.0 port on 8.1

I've just had this problem last week, and now got a solution...
Hi guys,
For anyone interested, due to something DreamerTKM said - I tried both USB 2 & USB 3 sockets on my Dell L701X laptop and both failed:
ERROR: Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)
I did a clean install of Win 8.1 Pro and it still failed...
Anyway, I was using Windows 8.1 Pro default drivers for my system when this issue came up last week - default as in Microsoft's own out of the box drivers (drivers on the install DVD and Windows Updates) for my CPU chipset, USB chipset, etc... - my entire system (except for my nVidia graphic card!)
My laptop is now a few years old and my official "Dell" CPU chipset drivers are not compatible with Win 8.1, so I need to rely on Microsoft for these, but my USB 3 originally had Dell supplied "Renesas USB 3" drivers which I hadn't installed or even thought about installing as my USB 3 socket worked - and worked well...
...anyway, after installing the original Renesas USB 3 drivers the fastboot commands work once plugged into a USB 3 socket! USB 2 still wouldn't work though, but now my Win 8.1 laptop can do fastboot commands through a USB 3 socket.
I understand not everyone will have a Dell L701X laptop but the moral here is before blaming Microsoft and their Windows 8.1 O/S (which is truly awesome), try installing the correct drivers first!
DreamerTKM - thank you for putting me on the correct path with this!
Hopefully this post may help some of you!

guyz if u r working on win8.1 just plug it in ur usb 3.0 then it will wrk...if u put in usb 2.0 it wont!

No changes. I have read a few topics that it barely works with Win 8.1, so I will have to try it somewhere esle with Windows 7, then I'll be coming back to tell what's up.

Full fastboot and ADB support is available in windows 8.
Watch the first video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703585

I have been using fastboot and adb with no problems on Windows 8.1 since January. But the issue is much more than simply using a different USB port. Here is the tutorial I used. http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/ Certain security features of 8.1 need to be bypassed to install the modified drivers. Also see this guide: http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81/ I used this just for ADB, but it looks like he's updated his guide for fastboot as well. Hope this information helps.

fastboot not finding Nexus 7 Flo

Hi
Windows 8.1 fresh install.
Added Minimal ADB & Fastboot and Google USB Drivers.
Nexus 5 is detected by ADB & Fastboot and works fine using same cable and Windows 8.1 machine.
Nexus 7 2013 is detected by ADB, but not by fastboot.
When I plug the 7 in when booted into bootloader, Windows plays the connected, then disconnected sounds.
Nothing appears in device manager so I can't update the driver.
Connect the 7 to my other PC and it works fine.
Any ideas how I can get the 7 detected correctly in fastboot ?
Thanks

Do you have the Android SDK installed?

Hi
Thanks fro the reply.
On either the windows 8.1 machine I don't have the SDK installed.
I downloaded the minimal adb / fastboot setup which does work fine for the nexus 5..just not the 7 flo in bootloader mode.
Same setup on the other windows PC and they both work !!
I'm going to double check the drivers on both and if there is a any difference. If there is I'll update the fastboot drivers when the nexus 5 is plugged in and detected OK.
See if that helps
Any other ideas ?

If you have a USB 2.0 port, use it. USB 3.0 ports sometimes don't work right with ADB/fastboot.

OP3 Not Found By Fastboot (Win 10)

So I'm running windows 10 on my pc and my op3 is easily found by windows. When I enter fastboot mode on my op3, the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show my op3. I used that 15 sec adb & fastboot installer.

Have you enabled oem unlocking from developer options?

I'm having the same problem. After going back to Oxygen OS (now 3.5.4) from MIUI 8 fastboot just doesn't work anymore. ABD works just fine (tried on Minimal ABD and Fastboot on Windows and ABD installed over Android Studio on Ubuntu. Fastboot did recognize the phone on Ubuntu but flashing TWRP resolved in a bootloop (tried the old and the new recovery image).
All drivers are installed on both Windows and Ubuntu (I even removed all drivers on Windows and added them again) and just to make sure everything gets installed I disabled driver signature verification on Windows, but as I said - still no luck.
Edit: Of course USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking is enabled (my bootloader is also unlocked since I already had tried out multiple roms)

Had the same Problem, Win10 is the Problem + the old OP Drivers + the new Update to Win10 etc.
Nothing worked, tryed everything. Created a Thread last week here also...
After that i created a new Partition and installed Win7 on it. All works fine, only thing is while Boot ur System u have to pick ur OS or it waits 30sec to boot up but thats ok.
Now i have Win10 for everything and i reboot to win7 for Fastboot/OP3

Can't solve your problem, but OP3 fastboot does work in Windows 10. I did have to disable driver signature verification to install the driver in the first place, and you'll have to leave it off for the driver to stay functional, but it definitely works on Win 10.

I dont tryed ur Way, so yes after disable Driver sign. it works like u Said but i did not Test it.

i had the same problem to find the correct adb driver spent many hours but it didnt work so after that last i try to update windows 10 and find adb driver there after updating window its work like charm so all u have to do is just connect ur phone with data transfer mode on and search the window automatic updates .

Same here

It's driving me crazy. I've updated from a rooted stock OS (incl TWRP) via full OTA directly to 3.2.7, which removed TWRP and root.
I now cannot enter a Fastboot mode which detects the USB connection. Thus I can't flash TWRP again and can't root my phone, making lots of apps unusable.
I've tried every suggestion on every thread but nothing works...

Rebooted both devices, OP3 was in fastboot. Then there was a Driver called Oneplus Bootloader Interface (or something similar)

The driver that shows up as a spare drive when you connect the phone? Tried that too, no good. Going to boot Ubuntu later today, hope that works. I just need twrp, then I'm good ?

Yeah that one. After disabling the driver signature verification you have to re install it, when it's not disabled windows just doesn't install it although it says it does. After I disabled it Windows actually showed a completely new window during installation to install the driver properly

Windows 10 and fastboot driver | Nexus 5X

I can not use fastboot on my pc with Windows 10 to flash something on my Nexus 5X.
I've installed Ubuntu and adb/fastbook works correctly. With Ubuntu I've installed TWRP and SuperSU.
On Windows 10:
- Adb works.
- I've Android Studio with the latest platform-tools.
- I've tried with 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
- I've tried with this answer.
- I've already removed all usb-driver (as Nexus Root Toolkit suggest) and retry all.
What can I do?

Let windows download the fastboot drivers from the network.
boot into fastboot, connect to pc
open up
win-r
devmgmt.msc
right click the 5x device and search network for drivers (or wherever that option is)
It'll come it with something like marshall london bootloader interface. That is fine, it works, it is for different phone that is also android based. The bootloader interface is the same.

I had the very same problem when I first received my 5X. I tried every damn think on to get Windows 10 to see the device, including all listed here and manually installing the drivers downloaded from Google and various other sites. Installed various Windows 10 packages. Even LG driver packages. I believe the issue lies in Windows 10 and I think perhaps maybe compounded by other drivers installed on the computer. I'm willing to bet it would work just fine on 7 (did on every machine I tried). Eventually adb and fastboot magically started working but I still could not use MTP. The ONLY thing that got it working was, strangely enough, a reinstall of Windows 10 (chose to kept files/documents) and then updating with the Anniversary Update). I know that is like the LEAST desirable option.
Windows 10 is really just not great for this sort of thing.

I don't know if google fixed it, but the 11.0 Google USB drivers don't have the fastboot USB IDs for the 5x but most people wouldn't notice because win10 is probably configured to get drivers automatically from net.
I noticed because I don't have that enabled.
On a win10 box that is configured to get drivers from net, for 5x, adb, mtp, and fastboot work without installing any extra drivers.

Yeah, that's exactly how it's worked every other android device I've owned too-only had issues with this device and this particular Windows 10 machine. This machine is configured to get drivers automatically, but for whatever reason I just couldn't get this to work. Of course, this was just my experience but there have defintiely been other folks out there with similar (maybe not exactly the same) problems. It was infuriating!
I can't really comment intelligently regarding what Google may have done to fix this. I'm shaking my head to hear that their drivers for Nexus devices is missing the fastboot USB ID's for a Nexus phone lol
