[Q] Phone not being recognized by computer in bootloader?

So I've been trying to root/unlock my CDMA nexus and I'm having a very frustrating problem that's preventing me from doing it with any of the toolkits available OR the manual method. I have the android SDK installed, samsung's USB drivers, and everything else I've been told to get. I can detect my phone when it's connected (and USB debugging is on) using adb commands but ONLY when the phone is booted as normal. If I reboot into the bootloader, my computer no longer detects it, and I can no longer act upon it via adb. This, of course, is preventing me from getting anywhere on the unlocking/root front. Anyone have any ideas? I'm fresh out.

ADB doesn't work in boot loader/fastboot. Adb only works in recovery or when Android is fully running.
You need to use fastboot commands in bootloader/fastboot.
"Fastboot devices" to see if it's detected.

have you installed the hboot drivers?

As above, you have to use fastboot commands when the phone is in bootloader. Try "Fastboot devices" to see if your computer sees the phone.

Fastboot commands don't detect the phone either. Fastboot is installed, as I can get it via command prompt to show available commands and whatnot, it just does not detect a device to work on.

I am also having this exact problem when i try to install the new touch cwm beta that was just released. Its not detecting the device while in the bootloader, and when i try to fastboot flash recovery it just says <waiting for device> and does nothing.

I know this is a little late, but I figured I’d post here to help anyone else out that is having this problem. I was trying to update my Galaxy Nexus from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 using fastboot when I ran into the problem you’re having. I did this from a Windows 7 machine, and the fix for me was as follows:
1. After booting into the bootloader and having your phone plugged into your computer, open Computer Management.
2. Under Device Manager, in Computer Management, you should see a listing for a device called “Android 1.0” and it’ll have the little yellow triangle with the exclamation point on it.
3. Right click on the Android 1.0 device and select “Update Driver Software…”
4. Click “Browse my computer for driver software”
5. Click “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
6. If you installed the Samsung drivers for the phone, scroll down until you see a device listed as “SAMSUNG Android Phone”
7. Select it and click next
8. It should auto populate the driver information. Click next and it will install the device
9. Go back to your CMD prompt and fastboot devices should now list the phone.
Hope this helps!

Quicks man your the best!

device not found

adb devices returns no listed devices,
One_X_All-In-One_Kit says device not found.
Tested with different drivers (HTC drivers from One_X_All-In-One_Kit,and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72), phone is detected by Windows, in bootloader it says fastboot usb, but I can't do sh*t And it used to work just fine a month ago.
Tested on 2 different computers with different USB cables... (Win 7 and 8 run as admin).
One strange thing is that I remember updating TWRP to 2.6.0.0 and now it's 2.4.something. What happened, what can I do?
Just want to update boot.img so I can install CM10.2, currently on CM10.1.

No ideas?
I can connect adb over WiFi, but ofcourse it says offline.

USB debugging ticked?
A

Adb doesn't work in the bootloader. Only fastboot commands

Yes, I did this a few times before, I know how to do it. But now, there is no way to flash boot.img from PC.
I reboot phone in to Bootloader, connect it to PC (phone says fastboot USB), I can see ADB device in device manager, if I 'adb device' in Command Prompt there are none (except when I connect it with WiFi adb).

adb does not work in bootloader...
of that doesnt help, try another USB port... I know this sounds ridiculous but trust me, it helped me once before.

Well, i managed to get my phone be detected in adb and fastboot, by manually installing Nexus adb drivers (have a disk option).
Drivers that used to work- HTC drivers, won't do anymore. Don't know why.

[Q] Cannot Unlock Bootloader on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I cannot get the bootloader unlock working on my Win 8.1 laptop by any means. If I try through hasoon2000's toolkit, I get the error that the ADB server did not ACK (whatever that means). If I try using the command line and HTC's official method of getting the TokenID, I get a message that a certain ADB-related dll is not installed. I have installed the USB drivers that come with hasoon2000's toolkit about 4 times now. I installed the Android SDK and even Samsung USB drivers. I'm going to uninstall everything, can someone walk me through the step-by-step to get things working? I've read that USB 3.0 is the problem, but I only have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop.

Use another computer if you can.

I had similar problems until I used this version of adb

Run everything from the downloaded folder.
First of all ensure you have USB DEBUGGING enabled in DEVELOPER OPTIONS in the phone settings.
Open the downloaded folder then right click inside the folder while holding shift then choose 'Open command Windows here'
Plug in the phone using the original HTC usb cable then in the command window type ADB DEVICES. The response should be a device comprised of letters and numbers.
If you don't see any device attached try swapping the cable to another usb port. If you see your device attached then follow the unlock instructions at HTCDEV as its the most reliable way.
If still no device then it could be a usb driver problem. You should here a ding when you plug your phone in.
Make sure the Unlock_code.bin is in the above folder when unlocking.

That version of ADB didn't work for me either. Anyway I was able to get fastboot to work but not ADB so I was able to unlock and root and everything through a strange method using only fastboot.
Second question, if I am switching between AOSP roms, say for example CM to PA, can I dirty flash or do I have to reset?

ADB does not work with USB 3.0 ports yet on Windows 8 or 8.1. You have to use it on a USB 2.0 port. I have had best results with Windows 7. Fastboot, however, works just fine on 8.1 and 8

Not so, I and others have ADB working fine on USB 3.0 ports.
The problem is Windows 8 driver signing enforcement blocking the install of drivers. You need to go to advanced startup options to disable it.
Download these drivers first and extract: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i3lcm7dwl581518/ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81.zip
Follow these instructions to disable driver signing enforcement: http://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/...gnature-enforcement-in-windows-8-and-8.1.html
Once fully booted go into device manager and you should see a device called 'Android 1.0' with an exclamation mark.
Right click 'Android 1.0' then 'update driver software' then 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Click the 'Browse' button and then browse to the driver folder 'ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81' extracted earlier then click next to install the driver.
You will get a warning about unsigned drivers, just ignore and continue.
The drivers should install and you should see a new entry in device manager called 'Android phone' which means the ADB driver is installed.
ADB should now be working.

Thank you so much for this. Have been wondering for a very long time

It sounds like you've got plenty of technical help already, but I will say that I use ADB perfectly fine on my desktop with Win 8.1 so it's possible. I also use hassoon's toolkit occasionally with no issue.
Before I could get the desktop to recognize the M8 I had to completely uninstall all drivers related to my previous galaxy nexus as well as remove any mention of the device in Window's USBdeview. After a reboot, I just plugged in the M8 and windows automatically installed the necessary M8 drivers. I can then run fastboot and adb from the toolkit.

I ended up uninstalling the MSFT USB 3.0 drivers and use the Intel USB 3.0 drivers instead on my Win8.1 laptop that has only USB 3.0 ports. Works great.

Can't get windows 10 to detect my Fastboot device

hey guys, I just got my OP3, I want to open the bootloader before I store some data that will be erased anyway when unlocking, I enabled USB Debugging & OEM unlocking & Advanced reboot and then I accepted the RSA Fingerprint popup. (Then, when running adb devices, I got the id of my device).
Now, I am in bootloader mode, and when running fastboot devices, I get nothing. I already installed Oneplus drivers when first connected the device.
In Device Manager under Other Devices I can see a device named "Android". When trying to install the drivers manually by browsing devices I have on my computer, I can only see "Samsung ADB Interface" and I am afraid installing this will not work when trying to unlock the bootloader. What can I do? I also have a Kali Linux Laptop if that's helping. Thanks.

Put in fastboot mode, connect to computer and manually select fastboot interface from the device manager "install device/update driver manually" box. That worked for me.

Its fine just search for fastboot devices and see if your device comes up. Mine was showing the same thing and i continued and it worked

Cannot install USB drivers for Razer phone on Win10

Howdy,
I'm trying to get my phone unlocked and rooted. As the first step, of course, I'm trying to get the Google USB drivers to install, but I simply can't. I feel like I'm the only person having this issue, though because I cannot find a solution... The steps I'm following:
Downloaded the latest driver zip from Google
Open Device Manager
Expand Portable Devices
Right-click on the Phone entry (notice, that's the entry, "Phone". Not Razer.)
Choose Update Drivers
Browse my way to the drivers folder and click Next.
Windows then returns immediately "The best drivers for your device are already installed", and shows that it's an MTP USB Device.
I noticed that under USB devices, there's an ADB Interface device listed, and I get the same results when I try to update that, too (excepting it says it's an "ADB Interface" device, of course). I have tried uninstalling both devices to get the drivers to install, but no such. I've rebooted both phone and computer as well.
On the phone, USB Debugging is turned on, and USB mode is set to MTP file transfer.
Please help!

Figured it out...

In case anyone else is seeing the same issues, I wanted to put my resolution up: I'd been trying to install the drivers with the Razer booted. On a whim, I rebooted it into Download Mode using "adb reboot bootloader". Once there, I had an Android Device listed in Device Manager. I ran the driver update wizard, and installed the "USB ADB Interface" option from the choices presented. I was then able to run the OEM unlock command and received the confirmation prompt on the Razer. Yay!
Now, since it's been so long, I've got to re-back-up everything so I can actually do this thing. LOL

Here's the PDF from Razer's how to install a factory image over PC guide. It explains how to do it all
