3 hours and no go, please help! - Nexus S General

My nexus cannot be rooted because the adb drivers WON'T install.
I downloaded the sdk and installed the google usb drivers.
But, when my PC finds NEW hardware I point to the google usb drivers and I get the error CANNOT INSTALL HARDWARE. Running VISTA.
I have been reading and trying everything but I just cannot figure it out.
I finally said I will just have to post and HOPE you guys can give me a hand here.
Thanks.

BTW, Im on 2.1.3. Is that why perhaps I'm having issues?

try installing the drivers this way, i havent seen this not work for any android phone. install the free pdanet software from their site onto your computer http://junefabrics.com/android/ follow the instructions that they give you. it will install the proper drivers in a few minutes. btw, pdanet is a tethering program that works side by side with a android app, but you dont need it. you are just using it so that itll install the driver. good luck!
btw, you can get the answer here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12657095&postcount=2

THANKS, GOT IT! Now when I type adb shell it works, BUT than I type SU and I get PERMISSION DENIED?
I just want some SIMPLE instruction and I don't find anything.

Btw, I cant get SUPERSUSER installed. I did go to the market and installed it that way and I can see it in the app drawer but now what?

You have to flash superuser.zip in recovery (install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard and you have to choose your superuser.zip on your internal memory). BEFORE you have to mount /system in recovery.

all i see is tether driver i want like the adb one
I think the tether drivers will work fine, because all you need is for the system to detect the phone.
Here you go: http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/
Nope I tried and still shows adb in my device manager
they're on the phone if you connect it to your computer you'll see them. It also has a qik pc app on it. A few nice surprises.
ill have to check the other sd card i put the one from my nexus one in right away as it has all my stuff on it already thanks

you can zip up those files on the SD card? When I purchased this they guy in the store swapped out the SIM and memory card from old to new phone (returned G2), so I don't have them. We didn't think about any factory files being pre-loaded on it.
The driver on the sd card is the same as the one on the HTC website. What exactly are you trying to do?
I had a problem looking for adb drivers myself, a while back. And it's true, the drivers are included on the root of the card in an executable file called 'HTC Driver'.

please post questions in q&a section.
i had trouble getting the drivers to install when i had my g2 and i read to install pdanet on my computer and that would install them. i installed pdanet and it installed the drivers just fine and i was able to get adb to recognize my phone.

If you have difficulty connecting to comp with drivers already installed, uncheck the "USB debug mode" and you should have no problems.

TWRP for mac???

EDIT: Please delete thread, problem solved.
Does anyone have any information on installing twrp from a mac? I have adb installed, but I haven't read anywhere about how to install it using a mac.
I installed TWRP using my Mac with the official Android SDK and platform-tools for Android 2.3 and Android 4.0 installed.
Basically just followed the instructions on the RootzWiki, as recommended by one of the devs: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/
did you install usb drivers (even though they aren't supported by mac osx)? and did you do anything differently because you were using a mac?
thanks for the link.

Sorry man, I don't remember whether or not I installed any USB drivers. If they're not supported, I imagine that I didn't.
But, I don't want to give you misleading info -- so, if you're not sure, I'd say hold off until someone who really knows what they're talking about chimes in. I'm pretty reckless when it comes to this stuff, and I'd hate for you to do something you regret on account of my mouth, ha!
sorry, another question, did the kindle automatically show up in adb with no tinkering, hate to pester you, im just planning everything before i give it a go.
also, did you plug it in while it was on with usb storage enabled?

You don't need any drivers. Adb and fastboot should both work just fine. You might need to edit the ini file though.
Did you have to edit the usb_ini file? if so, how would i go about doing it?

ICS USB drivers?

Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.

I already have the SDK installed from a whole ago, and I have used ADB recently for my phone, so I guess I should have the updates drivers correct? So I should just go through the device manager and let Win7 search through my C:/ drive? What will it be picking up, the ADB drivers?

I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"
have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.
Thank you to BOTH of you! I was getting frustrated that I can't do anything with my tablet! I will definitely try both of these when I get home.
@Erica: I went into Device Manager and it did not recognize my tablet, so I tried to install drivers from Windows Update, and it didn't find any.
@Moscow: HTC USB drivers will work? Really? I don't see why not, but then again, each website has you go through different steps to get your model number, etc.
What I am wondering is, for the scan if the C:/ drive, do I extract only the .exe for the USB drivers?

Generally, the zip file contains driver files for AMD64 and i386. Just extract them to a location on your C: drive. Like C:\android\adb_drivers. Once you extract the driver files, or any other driver files, and you have windows search your computer, it will usually find them, and install them. Takes a couple minutes.
I find this is easier than trying to have windows look in a specific folder. Like I said, I have tons of driver files.
Also, google for Android USB drivers. Will give you the generic Android USB driver pack. Unzip them also, to a diff folder.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

Basically, I hear the quick beeps and the device is not being recognized by Windows. Under device manager it is the only device that has a question mark or exclamation point for icon.
I will try both methods and report back on which one works. Thank you very much!!

Quick update.
I tried both of your theories, and neither of them worked
I tried to find the ADB drivers, but couldn't get them to install through SDK Manager (file not found on an XML file).
So then, I took two of the drivers I had downloaded, and extracted the folders they were in, into a folder on C:\ called android drivers.
I tried searching my entire C:\ and nothing came up at all. This is where I tried Erica's method, and I narrowed it down to the C:\android drivers and it STILL didn't bring anything up.
Finally, I tried downloading and placing these (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html) drivers, and it still didn't find them.
Oh, and I also tried plugging my phone into the troublesome port and it connected fine, as per Erica's suggestion, so I think this is some kind of driver issue.. but WHAT!
Thanks for all of your help so far!
EDIT: Here is the icon I am getting when I plug my tablet into my computer: http://i.imgur.com/jUf54.jpg
Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck

Yeah, that's the last of my guesses, and it was the last sets of drivers I installed on my Win7 before I got ADB working. I had issues connecting ADB, and may have just installed the HTC divers, just to connect with my Desire. I think after that, I installed the google drives, and could connect with my 501.
I could always get the PC to recognize the tab, just not through ADB.
With that AOKP rom though, I am not sure. I had it for a bit, but reflashed back to my 3.2.1 daily driver. Not sure if I could see it through PC, as I don't think I checked. Waste of time I think, as basically, it was 80% Thor Rom, and we all know it doesn't get 3g or gps on a 501.

I can't get it to recognize through ADB either. I'd love to try another ICS ROM, but I have to go through Dropbox and it gave me a smaller file name, so it isn't as safe. Might try to download through my a500.
I do have a Nandroid of 3.2.1, bit I doubt that could fix my issues.

I think I already know the answer to this, but figured I would ask anyway.
I have the Nexus 7 tablet with 4.1.1 and Build Number JRO03D, and using [Toolkit] Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.2.
There are only two options for the N7 tablet, [JRN84D] and [JRO03C], I'm taking a guess that I will not be able to root until the tool kit is updated, correct?

Drivers Tip:
If you are getting hung any of the processes and you are on a 64bit operating system, it is advised to uninstall the drivers configured by the toolkit completely using USBDeview and then re-configuring them with the 64bit drivers posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1342290861

[Q] LG-D802 Driver not found!

I installed TWRP on my LG G2 D802 to install a custom rom, but i format my internall sd card by accident (which had contained the custom rom Zip file) and now i need adb to copy the zip file into my phone (which is not turning on because of sd card format).
but when i try to connect to my phone with adb in order to use adb push or adb sideload, adb is not finding my phone and i figured that it is because of driver problems. I have already installed LG G2 drivers (file name is: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1.exe) and u can see that in attachment 1.jpg, but in the device manager i get warning icon for LG-D802 and windows tells me that no driver is found for LG-D802 as you can see in the attachment 2.jpg.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how can i fix it?
I really need this guys, Any help is appreciated.
Try installing the adb driver itself.
Also, questions do go in general. There's a Q&A board.

I have the same problem but when I run the adb driver installer it gives me the error "Incompatible with Win 8 x64"
Looking for the solution in other forums, they send me to the same adbdriver installer
@fbinimelis 8
I think you probably tryed to install the 32 bit adb driver.
I am not a big fan of automatic installers/tools if its not neccesary but this is an good tool since it also automatically detect which kind of windows u are using (x86 or x64) and then it will automatically install the right adb drivers for your os version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
This might help you since it also works fine for me windows 8.1 x64
