I tried to flash my google glass EE2 via my laptop which is currently running windows 10. I have done the following steps:
1. Update the Google USB Driver from android studio sdk manager
2. Download the new image file and unzip it
3. Open windows powershell from inside unzip image folder.
4. Run adb devices (Show my google glass in list)
5. Then adb reboot-bootloader
6. Then turn off the device with physical button and restart with camera and power button until “Press volume key to select, and press the power key to accept.” screen shows up.
7. Then run fastboot devices (Here I stuck, No list of devices, no message nothing happens)
Note:- I updated the driver as well via these steps but still end with no success
1. Connect your Android device to your computer's USB port.
2. From Windows Explorer, open Computer Management.
3. In the Computer Management left pane, select Device Manager.
4. In the Device Manager right pane, locate and expand Portable Devices or Other Devices, depending on which one you see.
5. Right-click the name of the device you connected, and then select Update Driver Software.
6. In the Hardware Update wizard, select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
7. Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
8. Click Next with Show all devices selected.
9. Click Have disk.
10. Click Browse and then locate the USB driver folder. For example, the Google USB Driver is located in android_sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\.
11. Select android_winsub.inf file and click Open.
12. Click Next to install the driver with Android ADB Interface selected.
13. Confirm the Update Driver Warning dialog.
14. Driver installed
Yeah...
It's funny enough that you created this thread because I am having the exact same issue right now too.
I tried on my laptop running Windows 10 and then on my desktop running Ubuntu. Absolutely zero luck with this. Please let me know if you can figure out a solution. With Powershell I was able to see adb devices but other than that fastboot seems broken to me on Glass.
Hard reset maybe? While on hold power button for 15 seconds, then release. wait a few seconds after that and then hold power button for a few seconds to turn back on.
Also you might try Installing the rooted bootloader.
And take a look at these 2 pages: https://support.google.com/glass/answer/9649198?hl=en
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r30.0.1-windows.zip
I appreciate your response!
On Windows 10, fastboot devices just seemingly doesn't work at all and doesn't populate the glass hardware at all for me.

I see others have had problems on Windows 10 using fastboot. Seems to be related to having a correct driver for your device. If you can't find one (check your device manager to see if it is recognizing Glass properly) you might have to find a Windows 7 computer to do this on.

I even tried on Ubuntu with no luck just for curiosity's sake.
Device manager is showing me Unknown USB Device is attached.

It makes me so happy to be able to follow up this post with how I found a solution. I am going to give a story first because this was beyond frustrating. The solution for me was to forget finding a solution in Windows 10 and just use an installation of Ubuntu. Holy crap this made the steps a lot easier.
However, even using the Terminal in Ubuntu it hung up twice while flashing system.img and I thought Glass was dead. Fortunately, fastboot was just being finicky and refusing to work. The solution to that was to have the command already ran and then reboot back into fastboot because this allowed the system to almost instantaneously realize the device was in fastboot and it immediately the flashed the files.
I hope this might point some light if anyone else ever comes across the issue!
Install Ubuntu
The easy way to do it, is install Ubuntu and install adb and fasstboot from terminal with comand "apt-get install 'your Tool...'"

adb devices isn't saying anything.
Good day. I followed your previous steps but when I do "adb devices" I get no response. That is, no message back. When I try it once more this is the message I get:

Any help you have is welcomed.
I am having a similar problem.
When I type "adb devices" in command prompt, it returns with:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Not sure how to access adb in command prompt.
You need first to install:
Android SDK Tools (can download from archos)

I got it to work. Even though there was no response stating the device was connected I tried "adb reboot" to check if the device was infact working with the adb and it was. So i got it working but perfectly. Only thing is there is no response stating the device is connected but i can live without that. Thanks for the help guys.
adb tool has moved
The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/
If you don't see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"
Please also update your PATH environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can execute adb from any location.
I hope someone is on to help me here, i've done these steps...
1. Download this zip and extract it to your desktop
2. Open the start menu, type Device Manager in the search box, then wait and the Shortcut "Device Manager" will appear above in the box. Click it. Wait a moment and Device Manager will appear

all went well until i got to 5, it didnt show up unknown devices, it showed up at portable devices and it did not have a yellow ! next to it????
does it mean anything?
Yes, that means you haven't checked USB - Debugging on the device or selected MassStorage in the dropdown.
Sometimes it's not enough that it is selected, so deselect it, leave the menu, get in again and select it.

I have, 100% checked usb debugging on.
and where would this mass storage be? i cant find it.
also, for me to enable usb debugging, i have to go to...
{ } Developer options.
---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------
ok think i solved it, i managed to go to storage settings and then had the option once the usb was connected to chose between MTP - Media Device, or, PTP - Camera,
so i changed it from MTP to PTP and now when i go to device manager, its showing up as other devices and then archos has the yellow ! next to it.
does this mean i can continue now?

Since I bought the Lenovo IdeaPad S2110AF from NY, I was searching for how to root the device and I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896899.
But I was unable to get the ADB interface on Windows 7 x64 laptop and I found the same problem is there for most of the users. Finally last night, I could fix this issue and root my tablet. How I did it:
Download the "S2110-Root.zip" file through the above URL. and extract it to a folder.
1. Enable USB debugging under Settings-> Developer options.
2. Connect tab to computer using the provided data cable.
3. The driver for OTP will be installed in Windows. But the ADB interface may not be installed automatically.
4. Go to Device Manager (Right click My Computer and Properties, the click Device Manager).
5. You can see Other Devices-> Android
6. Right click on that and click Update driver software.
7. Click "browse my computer for driver software"
8. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" rather than browsing and selecting the driver folder.
9. Click Next and then click "Have Disk" .
10. Then choose the drivers folder and the inf file (in extracted files) - \S2110-Root\Drivers\android_winusb.inf
11. Then select the ADB interface and click OK.
12. Ignore any warning message (like not signed)
That is it. Now you got an ADB interface. You will see as Samsung device on the device manager, never mind it.
Now you got the ADB interface and follow instruction to root through the URL.
Note: I am not sure is this a right place, but I just wanted to post this, it may help someone
I had some problems getting root to work.
I found out to use root with adb the display must be on and unlocked.
I started to work on recovery.img, finally I extracted it and took a look on it. Seems not too hard to get it modified and after do some play with custom roms.
I tried a hell lot to install ASUS Zenphone adb drivers on my PC( on Windows 7, 8 and 10).
I got the same error everywhere. Error 10. Driver not installed properly.
I searched the Internet for hours without success.
I hope XDA community has some answers.
i got the same problem as you , my zenfone 5 detected as unknown device , i solved with adjusting usb when plug in to laptop like slowly inserting the usb to laptop port and keep adjusting untill its detected. weird dont know why its happen like that , all other phones that i've connect to my laptop detected with easy except for that zenfone 5.
Did you already download from Asus Official Website ? @ceomaverick
Try use this one.
Step:
1. Download and Extract the file from .ZIP
Link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500CL/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212.zip
2. Go to Device Manager, right click ' Asus Android ADB Interface '.
3. Update Driver Software, then choose ' Browse from My Computer for Driver Software'
4. Select Folder where you extract the .Zip file, check 'Include Subfolder' then klik 'Next'
5. Wait while system searching and installing the driver.

Hope it will help you.
Thanks
OK, some progress here.
Find the Asus 8.0.0.2 drivers or the 8.0.0.3 ones.
Do the Add Legacy Hardware thing for the ADB Composite Interface -- it will install as "Code 10" not started.
Highlight that device and select update device...ask it to search windows online for the update.
In Win7 this will take a long time, in Win10 it will take just a second BUT be nicely hidden. Click View Optional Updates and then click Driver Updates and then select the ADB Composite interface.
In Win7 it completes quickly w/o reboot. In Win10 you have to reboot.
But with that, the ADB Composite Interface will function.
Now do the Add Legacy hardware thing for the Bootloader -- again, installs as Code 10
Put your phone into fastboot
Select the Bootloader device and do the update-from-windows thing.
Win7 does it directly, Win10 you have to navigate through the Update wizard as before
Now the fastboot interface is presented as working...

I trying to root my 'nVidia Shield Android TV Pro 500GB
The problem:
Trying to install fastboot drivers in order to unlock the bootloader.
Steps & Solutions I tried:
After booting the nVidia Shield into bootloader, when connecting it to my Windows 10 64bit PC , I get a yellow explanation mark in the Device manager.
After getting it, I :
1. Right click on it
2. Choose update driver
3. Browse my computer for driver software
4. Choose 'browse'
5. Select the folder SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201801\SHIELD that contains the .inf file
After doing all of that, when pressing next to install I get a message "The best drivers for your device are already installed", which after nothing changes and fastboot is still not recognized.
Also Tried:
1. In the Browse for drivers window
2. Choose Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
3. Choose Have a disk
4. Browse to the .inf file
5. When pressing next to install I get a message: The folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device (The full message can be found in the screenshots attached)
I tried rebooting in driver signing disabled, didn't help.
I have already searched everywhere for the answer, including:
1.The original NVidia Shield Zone
Shield Android TV and Tablet Resource Center
root tutorial
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help/fastboot-drivers-t3562822

So finally managed to install Fastboot
For me, the problem was the USB Port...
Hi henengel, I'm facing the same issue and unable to resolve this. I've tried all the usb ports but still facing same issue.
I have done this on Windows 10/11 with the 8 Pro, 8T, and 9 Pro personally.Other members have had success with the OP5T, OP6T, OP7P, OP7T, OP8 and even a OP1 for @mawil1013 and somehow a Xiaomi Mi 9T lol
Spoiler: Backstory
After fighting this for about an hour, and trying everything I could think of, this was the only way I could get my T-Mobile 8T to show up while in fastboot mode.
I tried the below, and probably more...
Ensuring I had the latest fastboot version
Manually installing the bootloader driver from googles SDK
Several restarts
Just installing OnePlus' driver that come on the phone per-installed
To fix the issue, we are going to disable driver signing enforcement in Windows and then install the Unsigned OnePlus drivers.
Install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.
They should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer.
I'm sure you can find the installation package somewhere online, but I don't have a good download source so I am not going to give out random links.
This will create a directory containing the USB driver. This will most likely be
C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
In that folder there is a driver, but both when installed using the installer incuded with my phone, and a downloaded version, I ran into...
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.
To get around this we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.
Select the “Start” button.
Type “startup”.
Select “Change advanced startup settings“.
Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.
Once presented with the Advanced options select...
“Troubleshoot“ --> “Advanced Options“ --> “Startup Options“ --> “Restart“
After that, a menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.
Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver until you reboot, meaning we can install our unsigned OnePlus driver.
Pop open Device Manager
You can press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access
Boot your device into fastboot mode.
This should cause it to show up in device manager as "Andriod", with a yellow triangle
In device manager right click the "android" device
Then press the following options
Update driver --> Browse my computer --> Let me pick --> Have Disk
Navigate to the folder from earlier: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay
After that, OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected. Go ahead and install it.
Congrats! Your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.
You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!
Make sure when you allow adb debugging in developer mode that you authorize the phone when using adb devices, otherwise you will not see fastboot when you try to use.
Thank you, that would have driven me crazy. It is crazy that it is 2020 and driver manufactures still don't sign their drivers some times.
There is no CD Drive show up....
find on internet a oneplus usb driver and installed....
then got this message trying to get the [oem get_unlock_code]
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Thanks OP.
finally works...
Okay, I just figured out my mistake, but I'll leave it in case someone else stumbles across the same thing. The fix: choose your language, then choose "reboot to fastboot" and confirm that you're sure. You'll get to a screen with "Fastboot mode" in red near the top. Once there, run the get code command.

Thanks a lot @Mbektic. This seems so much harder than it needs to be and I wouldn't have been able to unlock my bootloader without your guide. Thanks again!

5) In device manager(press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access) right click the android device
-----Update driver
-----Browse my computer
-----Let me pick
-----Have Disk
-----Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
-----Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay
-----OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected, and go ahead and install it.
After that your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.
I'm not sure if for some reason my driver version just was lacking a hash, or if it is a common issue, but hopefully i'll save someone a couple of minutes.

Yes, I also had to disable device driver signing, then the phone showed up in the bootloader.. You can just open an admin command prompt, type "bcdedit /set testsigning on", REBOOT, then install the proper driver. This seems to be a problem with OOS11.
The easiest method for any newbie is to install , iobit driver booster , free.

I just cant thank as much as I have to! I couldnt find solution for months, I was using magisk module on old phone to use fastboot and it sucked. Now updated driver and works like charm. Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this thread. I couldn't believe I were having so many issues on my desktop, when I had managed to get everything right when I first got the phone(8PRO) on my laptop. I had adb & fastboot installed, then plugging in Kona w/ usb debug off allowed me to install the adb driver and then for fastboot(while in fastboot, using window's "device manager" I selected the Google usb driver I had downloaded, and finally for edl mode driver just in case (msm), I installed the qualcomm driver while in edl mode( whew). Anyway thanks,
I cannot believe I did not see this thread earlier...
Just finished solving the same problem after going nuts for a couple of hours.
It is most definitely just getting the PC to install the OnePlus drivers AND disabling the driver signing.
What a pain.

Hey Guys,
After fighting this for about an hour, and trying everything I could think of, this was the only way I could get my T-Mobile 8T to show up while in fastboot mode.
I tried the below, and probably more...
Ensuring I had the latest fastboot version
Manually installing the bootloader driver from googles SDK
Several restarts
Just installing OnePlus' driver that come on the phone per-installed
So for me, the issue was resolved by doing the following below.
1) install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.
--- they should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer
2) This will create a directory like this... C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers, containing the USB driver
3) In that folder there is a driver "" but both when installed from my phone, and a downloaded version, i ran into The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.. So next we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.
-----Select the “Start” button.
-----Type “startup”.
-----Select “Change advanced startup settings“.
-----Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.
-----Select “Troubleshoot“.
-----Select “Advanced Options“.
-----Select “Startup Options“.
-----Select “Restart“.
-----A menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.
Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver you like in Windows 10 until you reboot.
4) Boot your device into fastboot mode. This should cause it to show up in device manager as Andriod, with a yellow triangle
5) In device manager(press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access) right click the android device

you've saved my sanity on oneplus5T after upgrading to Android Q 10. Thank you
I also struggled with this issue but found another solution. Once my phone was plugged in (can't remember if it was system or fastboot) I went to Windows Update and browsed the optional updates. One of the optional updates was a driver for android recovery. Installed it and it worked.

Between the OP and this post, I was finally able to get the drivers to work on my 8T (Sim Free- Carrier Unlocked) new phone from Oneplus. I spent several hours trying to determine what the issues were and then found this thread. I am successfully unlocked from the bootloader. Thank you both.

THANK YOU! This worked 100% for me, super easy too. Went to Windows Update, View Optional Updates, saw the Android External Device update, device showed in fastboot after installing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You're a legend, it works on my OnePlus 5T as well.

Thanks for this - I know its a little after the fact but 6+ months later this post has gotten me out of a fastboot hole with a oneplus 9. Now fully rooted only for this. Thanks again.
