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

I've also been struggling with getting windows 10 to recognise my Pixel. I've installed the drivers (the small usb drivers zip and right click install on the driver) but file explorer isn't showing the contents (or even the phone at all).
Would using the SDK help?

I did. Didn't help. My older pixels worked and my op8. Just not this thing. I found some driver pack and it finally worked

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
I made this installer as a kind of "update" the old driver package I had made for Ainol and Actions before. While at it I added those two tools usually used, that is adb and fastboot. Based on batch scripts, so it's open source. Self Signed, not...

Thanks will give this a try later on!
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!

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)
Hi there,
I got the latest version of adb and have installed the latest pc driver for Galaxy Nexus from samsung's website under device SCHI515
But "adb devices" is still not showing the device. I can see the device listed in My Computer. I have gone thru "Computer/Manage/update the device driver" routine as well
and yes, I have searched thru the forums and none of the suggestions have helped me
Any ideas?
You need the adb drivers from the SDK.
Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD
I looked into that as well. Apparently I am supposed to have a google directory in the "adb/sdk/extras" but there isn't one. There is only an "android" directory.

1) get the "universal_naked_driver" from the GNEX forums
2) the fastboot/adb folder is sdk/platform-tools; rename the playform-tools folder into Android and move to the root of your C: drive
3) ???
4) profit

You need to launch the SDK manager and select the drivers from the list of things to download. After they download, they will be in that directory you listed.
Note: you need java installed in order to launch the sdk manager.
Ok, this isn't my first rodeo as I've owned many android devices including the old nexus 7. I'm trying to unlock and root this but I can't install the drivers. I tried the device manager method and when I search it can't find anything and I tried a website to manually do it by downloading a zip and choosing it to no avail. Any one have the link to the drivers as that website may not of been accurate or anyone have any other suggestions?
You need to unzip it first.

Ok I still cannot install the drivers. When I downloaded the file provided in that link, there are no driver options at all. There are only two folders in which I described in my previous post and neither have drivers in them. I'm no noob and have done this plenty of times, I even tried to adb reboot bootloader and it says device not found and yes USB debugging is on so I'm assuming I can't do anything until I some how install the drivers.
Which website guide are you looking at?

If nothing else works, you might consider partitioning your hard drive and installing a secondary OS. Both Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu worked for me no problem.
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
cd Downloads
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img
adb push update-supersu-v1.51.zip /sdcard/Downloads

Ok I installed the drivers correctly, I figured it out. Now when I try the adb commands it says device offline when it's clearly not lol...

I'm having a similar problem with drivers, why don't you post how you solved it? I am trying on 2 different windows 7 machines. google drivers don't load, asus drivers don't load. Device manager just says "windows could not find driver software for your device."
---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
I figured it out, have to turn MTP on, then install drivers - then you can turn MTP back off if you want.
I tried everything the internet could offer. Installed all the google and or OnePlus 5T drivers I found, many different ADB versions, enabled all the needed settings on the phone, yet when I type "fastboot devices" it comes up empty.
Followed many guides and videos, did all the steps. What could be the problem?
Digital signature of the driver or wrong drivers is the problem

Right, and (if you are a Windows user) after you put it into fastboot mode, you Need to overwrite the Drivers in the device Manager inside of Windows to the adb / fastboot Driver...
not just the "update Driver" Option.. you really Need to search und choose for the .inf file.
after that has been done, Windows should be able to find your device with the fastboot.exe
That should do the trick.
If you got any Problems Setting this up in Windows, and want some Support, I could help you remotely with TeamViewer application. (as far as our timezones allows us to do that)

Yes, it also did that for me after I plugged in my Device AFTER booting it into Fastboot.
BUT! since I'm on Windows 10 Education; 64 Bit, it somehow messed up the Drivers or something. Fact is, These automatically installed Drivers weren't working for fastboot (at least for me and probably for many others too).
the command "fastboot devices" wasn't able to detect my phone.
But if you download the needed adb / fastboot Drivers for that device and reconfigure the driver via device Manager on Windows
to choose the just downloaded adb /fastboot Drivers - it worked for me afterwards.

im on windows 10 also an my adb devices also show nothing but i can still flash recovery an all
So I have the drivers
usb_driver_r13-windows: from google they do not work and as far as I can see they are the latest
They are from 7/23/2020 but they are the latest Google provides.
I have installed OP9P_Default_Drivers, do not help at all either
I also downloaded: https://oneplusdriver.com/download-oneplus-driver, again no help in fastboot
Now they are in C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
however trying to point here to use this driver fails "The hash for the file is not porsent ..." and it refuses to use this driver.
tool_amd64, can not install thr driver either as it also fails to install, the lost is clean:
Code:
OnePlus USB Drivers install...
Get system info ...
CPU architecture: AMD64
Operater System: Windows 8
Install drivers command:
tool_amd64.exe /PATH . /LM /SW
mtp & rndis drivers not need install.
set adb environment...
find ANDROID HOME = C:\Android
ANDROID HOME already exist!
adb path already exist in path!
check system environment...
system32 is not in USER path
system32 path already exist in path!
install drivers success!
I also tried: L2 drivers which should not and do not work.
Simply put I'm unable to locate any driver that supports "USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D"
I'm un sure how anyone is doing anything in fastboot, if there is not a driver that supports this ID, but based on multiple Google searching I'm not locating any others that I'd even trust to try, or that would make any sense to try.
So at this point I'm completely blocked, from unlocking the phone (step 0 for me), as there is no driver that is supported for fastboot and the One Plus 9 Pro and Windows 10 20H2 with the latest patches from 05/2021, as something seems very wrong with the one plus driver.
Very unhappy right now with One Plus!

Win 10 right...I had fastboot issues and found a thread eventually that walked me through booting win 10 in a way that gave me the option to disable security checks on driver's, and then I was able to install the OP driver I needed and voila fastboot could see my device.

I'm not sure this is valid. Would Windows 10 accept the driver if it was signed with LetsEncrypt certs... I doubt it.
Go to Windows Update -> Optional Updates.
You'll find the fastboot and adb drivers there.
If you're using a USB dock, try putting the USB cable directly into your PC instead, I've seen that fix problems where the phone isn't being seen

worked so much easier than messing with external questionable drivers.
We have to disable the signature checks on windows. Run CMD as Administrator and paste the below codes and Hit Enter. Reboot your PC after doing this.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Now try to install the one plus drivers again, and it should be done in 5 mins. After this windows will identify your device in fastboot mode.

hey, where did you find the fastboot and adb drivers? When i enter "optional updates" in the search bar i can only see a very limited number of updates.
thx
EDIT: found out my problem was the missing driver. The Driver CD showed no files so i installed a driver from here: https://www.technobuzz.net/oneplus-6-usb-drivers/
Deavtivated the signature with the help of this
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Now i can find my phone in fastboot.
My only hope is that the installed driver was legit. Couldnt find an official version.. :S
Yikes....forgot there was a time I didn't know this.
