No fastboot working with those naked drivers and Windows 7 x64. ADB works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Did you install any other drivers before hand? If so you must clean them up.

These will def work in fastboot for you unless you have a new version of the phone which you can send a screenshot of your device ID for.

Let me know...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
FYI

The device ID USB\VID_04E8&PID_6864 belongs to the nexus when you have USB Debug and USB Tether activated. However in XP, when in that particular mode and using this driver, ADB does not work (Tether won't work either, obviously).

However, in XP if you use the USB Remote NDIS Network Device Driver it will work for USB Tether.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
I can add this after the new beta thanks for the info.

Does USB tether work for 7 or Vista? I would think not if you had trouble with XP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Hello after clearing up the confusion myself the 1.7 and 1.9 are not version numbers but Microsoft usb driver kdmf compile packages. So going forward Google calls their latest driver 4.0 just for everyone's reference.

Thanks and I look forward to the feedback from the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eRode:
Why's there a generic version and a Samsung version when the thread says one universal driver? So which one is which? So confusing.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Oooh. Now it includes all the drivers needed for the Transformer as well? Neat :D

Now... If someone would just release the SBK2 keys so that I could use APX-mode and nvflash as well ;)

Edit: The first post seems to imply that these drivers only support APX-mode on the TF201, not the TF101. Is that correct?

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

Removed my old "naked" drivers and installed these. Took some work and (like you said) a reboot but it did work in the end.

I did have the issue of adb reporting the (Galaxy Nexus) device as connected but "offline" for some reason.

Once I rebooted the phone that seemed to go away, but I've never seen that before, so I thought I'd report it.

Fastboot also seems to be working. Haven't tested with my transformer as I don't have it around at work.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Just adding that I think I may have found the problem.

My phone may have been in adb network/wireless mode as opposed to USB mode, and I forgot to turn it off.

Guess these drivers are working as they should then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Correct but I would like to change that for the TF101 but just need someone to work with me to give me the ID for the TF101 while in APX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
You are right it was confusing to leave the older Samsung 1.7 up. I have removed them because they are not needed.

Even though this is tagged BETA the drivers are really not only which devices it works with.

The next step is to add all HTC, Moto and Samsung devices while also giving their direct name in the device manager instead of a generic name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
You ask and you shall receive!

Output from lsusb in Linux when plugged in in APX-mode:

Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0955:7820 NVidia Corp.

Bear in mind though, this is a B70KAS+ transformer with SBK2 so I cannot use nvflash, but I suspect that device-ID should still be the same.

Edit: From device-manager in Windows when in APX mode.

V(endor)ID = 0955, PID 7820, REV = 0104

USB Class_FF SubClass_FF Prot_FF

Bus type guid { 9d7debbc-c85d-11d1-98b4-006008c3a19a }
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joyrex:
very very helpful... Thanks much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Thank you I will try to make an update in the next week, I think I will just add all HTC and Moto as generic so people have it working and worry about he fancy names in device manager later.

I will also try to add USB tether for all phones as well, I just found a moto document which has a bunch of device ID's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rankiz:
And how do install this driver? There is no exe file...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
+1.. How to actually install those drivers ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unzip it, and for Windows, right click on android_winusb.inf and click install...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Doens't work...^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Alternatively, unzip the package, plug your device into your PC, and when it prompts you to install the driver, point it to where you unzipped the files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
HTC added, look forward to feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
ehi man,2 questions:

1.do you reccomend an update man if i have already vs 5 working (update 6 don'w change gnex drivers)or is better to uninstall all and reinstall new version(if update 6 changes gnex drivers)?

2.also tf101 or only tf201?if also tf101,it includes also apx drivers or only adb?

thanks in advance for these questions..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
First post, first page should answer parts of that question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Its the same driver as before as Google has not released a updated version. This has been modified to allow HTC phones as well. An update to TF101 was also done to add the APX mode.

You should only update if a new base from Google is included or more of your personal devices are added.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Don't know if you care, but the drivers do NOT install on Windows 8 customer preview (as do all other fastboot-drivers also). I tried with Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer Prime. I get a windows and adb connection with samsung drivers supplied over windows update. But when I try to install your drivers for fastboot access, I get an error message that says there is some hash error.

So I think it's again only a question of inf-file.

I'd understand if you'd say you don't care for beta-OS, but as I think there will be no more changes to driver model in Win 8, maybe you wanna have a look at it. :)

I'd volunteer to test for you if needed/wanted. Just pm me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Quick question: What's APX?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
I think APX comes from NVIDIA Tegra APX Series such as LG Optimus G2X (P999).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Looks like this is the only driver other than PDANet's that works properly for ADB in recovery and Fastboot on my Windows 7 machine. Even the official Samsung driver doesn't work properly... isn't that a bit weird?

Or is the Samsung driver only for run-time (because when Android is fully booted, ADB works just fine).

Anyway, thanks for your great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
I do care and have Windows 8 but didnt try my phone stuff yet as it is not a daily driver for me yet but thanks for the heads up. Will try to fix soon.

APX is a mode to reflash Nvidia devices. Sort of like Samsung ODIN but is a little better. You can have royally screwed device and their NVFLASH tool can talk to APX for flashing.

You are welcome, thanks for the feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Installed this for my Galaxy Nexus and no devices listed when doing "adb devices" but fastboot does respond successfully.

I'm trying to get to adb so I can push a ROM to my internal SD card so I can flash it because the phone is blank right now of recovery files or roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wraithdu:
Works perfect for my Nexus. Are you sure you have debugging turned on and the drivers are properly installed (no yellow exclamations in device manager)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Same here. The only way I got my GN working was to install the Samsung drivers in compatibility mode and then in Device manager update Android 1.0 device to Samsung Driver through the windows generated drivers list.

The OP's driver did not work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
I don't think you can use ADB in Fastboot. You'll probably have to flash an ADB capable recovery (CWM) via Fastboot, and then boot into that to use ADB...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Why flash it? With fastboot you can boot it directly without ever flashing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Do people use their devices without any recovery installed at all? I'd flash one just for the sake of having a working recovery on the phone :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
People who just want to run stock plus root might also want to keep stock recovery to avoid issues with otas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
That makes sense, but he'd mentioned that his phone is "blank ... of recovery files..." - I figured he'd somehow erased/broken the recovery that was previously installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
When you say your phone is blank if recovery files or roms are you saying you cannot boot into Android because you have no rom flashed?

You can use the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit to flash a google stock rom via fastboot which would get your phone booting into Android again. You can then connect your phone and copy a rom file across to the virtual sd card, flash cwm and flash it if you wish.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
I have look at this and the drivers would seem to work but where a user can override the signature hash break is no longer available as a prompt. I also tried to remove the security files and Windows 8 will not install 3rd party drivers with out the hash security files. Bummer

Going forward the only way to support this driver would be to apply for a license to sign the drivers my self which I am sure is a ton of money or to disable your drivers signature in Windows 8.

If any one knows a reasonable way to get a signature for these drivers please contact me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
How did you manage to create the cat-file in the first place? :) Or did you just copy some cat-file from another driver?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Well even though it was copied it was ignored with the red driver override screen.

I have made advancement and been able to create catalogs with the correct has the drivers for free and Windows 8 is not complaining now but the driver is still having issues installing.

Hang tight, just have to fix the message of adding the driver to the store!?! I think that the hashes are correct but not signed still as Windows 8 does not have a tool to sign them. They are signed while being built vs. the earlier builds of Windows
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
OK I have found a way to get the SignTool on Windows 8 and have found some more information in regards to signing the newly created *.CAT files from Windows 8.

I need to sign the *.cat files to a store and when i do this I am not sure if it locks it down to me only, if so would make this useless.

What a pain in the rear!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
But where's the problem when it would be "locked" to you. The other drivers out there must also be "locked" to their provider, but still can be used on millions of PC's. Sorry, maybe I don't get smth here :p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1wayjonny:
Well you need a certificate and by looking around you can create one for your PC, where as the manufacture of the device would have their own.

I could be wrong but still looking around, rigth now my issue is I am getting and error when I create my own.

Will continue to look but right now Windows 8 can have the driver security shut off, you first need to boot it in testmode=on. Then once when done you can get to the old school menu for driver enforcement option.

For windows 8 its rather F8, SHIFT+F8 or F10 its giving me trouble as I dual boot but seems to be working for others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
I'm having trouble installing the drivers. I have successfully installed the drivers when the phone is in fastboot mode. When I try to boot normally, windows 7 is detecting the drivers automatically. I've tried several ways to stop windows from automatically detecting the device and it doesn't automatically detected the device but I cannot install the drivers via device manager either. Could anyone help me fix this issue?

I'm following

this post in order to flash my gn to yajku from yajkuxw.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you are following my guide to convert to yakju, all you need is the fastboot driver. That said, you should still try to figure out how to get the adb driver installed as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
I'm following your guide. What problems might occur if I continue only with the fastboot driver? Also, I've tried using the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit to install the drivers and it doesn't seem to work either. This is the first time I'm using a Galaxy nexus so is there any ideas on how I can fix the adb driver? And might the problems be caused due to not having the SDK installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No problems at all. You just won't be able to transfer files back and forth from/to PC/phone.

It has nothing to do with the SDK. There is no real need to install the SDK unless you are developing.

As for your issue, with your device booted normally and plugged in to your PC, open up device manager on your PC. You should see your device there. Right-click on it, and select update driver. Then install the driver manually from the directory where you downloaded 1wayjonny's driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
I've flashed yakju by following your guide and everything went well. I did try the method you mentioned (update the driver) but I suppose it didn't work. like you said I cannot copy files into the device. It says "Local Disk" when I copy stuff to the device and I cannot seem to delete it. What are the workarounds for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
EDIT: If you can copy files to your device, then the driver installed properly. Not sure why you can't delete files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorph:
Yeah, It seems everything is okay now. Thanks for the quick response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordofokra:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidrobot:
Hey guys, I'm trying to change from yakjuxw to yakyu, however I'm stuck because my computer won't find the drivers for my GNex on fastboot mode.

I've tested all different ways, Samsung's own drivers, PdaNet and this one.

I followed this guide when I used Naked Driver:

http://androidforums.com/internatio...gs-root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#post3711706

However when i browse my computer for driver software and navigate to the folder, and accept "Windows can't verify...", I get a box saying that the driver was found, but it occur a problem when it was going to be installed, followed by the text "Samsung Galaxy Nexus NootLoader Interface" and "A problem occurred when drivers were added to the archive.".

Cheers.

Hi I've got a Transformer Prime TF201 that I can't get to work with the ADB. I know the ADB is installed correctly because it was picking up my NS4G when I ran "adb devices." I used usbdeview to remove all the Android drivers from my PC. Then I installed the naked drivers I device manager and the tablet shows up under Android Phone as Transformer Prime ADB Interface. I restarted my computer then did a hard reset on my phone. Still can't get it to come up in ADB. Am I missing something hear? I've been at it since 2:30am it's now 8:52am here, and there's no coffee -_- any help would be much appreciated thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viralmind:
This just isn't working for me and my Galaxy Nexus.

I have Windows 7 64 and I've tried the .6 and .61 drivers and windows won't install them.

I have uninstalled the drivers/device from device manager.

I set it so that drivers will not automatically install and rebooted.

Then I told the computer where to look for the drivers and they wont install.

I have tried all sub folders and nothing will work.

It just says "Windows cannot find driver software for your device."

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ok im in need of some help here, im getting quite frustrated with this problem. I have a windows 7 32 bit machine and the pc sees the phone in adb mode, transfering files is ok but in bootloader mode it is just invisible to the pc. I tried the drivers here, samsung official ones, pdanet ones and galaxy nexus toolkit 7.0 ones. It must be me being real dumb. I have tried uninstalling drivers, rebooting, install other ones, i just cant get the phone to be seen in fastboot. Sometimes i get as message from windows saying device not recognised and go to trouble shoot it but its apparently not plugged in to change anything. ADb mode work, the phoner can be seen inb cwm mode just not fastboot mode. Can someone lend a hand please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The drivers need to be installed TWICE: once when your phone is booted normally (or in CWM), and once when your phone is booted into the bootloader.

So, first you need to uninstall all the drivers you installed: right click on anything you see related to Samsung or Android in Device Manager and click uninstall. Then go to View in the menu at the top and select show hidden devices, and uninstall anything related to Samsung or Android. Then reboot your PC, and once booted, plug your device (while it is booted into the bootloader) to your PC.

Now, you should see something like "Android 1.0". Right-click on that and select update driver, then follow the menu to manually install it, and navigate to the directory where you unzipped 1wayjonny's driver. Now the fastboot driver is installed.

Now reboot your phone into Android. Once booted, you should see something like "Android 1.0". Right-click on that and select update driver, then follow the menu to manually install it, and navigate to the directory where you unzipped 1wayjonny's driver. Now the adb driver is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I know they needed to be done twice, I had it working on my old XP PC but now I got windows 7. I guess I'll have to go through and make sure I got no other conflicting drivers installed. I never did an android 1.0 pop up when I plugged into the PC any of the times that I recall. Thanks anyway efrant I'll pm you if I need more help :)

Is -i 0x0b05 still required with 0.7?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steam03:
I'm also having issues with win7 32bit recognizing the nexus while it's on fastboot.

I understand that drivers need to be installed twice and i'm on the first install (ie with fastboot).

The PC seems like it's free of any past drivers already. When I fastboot the Nexus and plug it into the PC, "Android 1.0" doesn't show up in device manager. In fact, it shows up under "USB controllers" drop down, titled "Unknown Device" with a triangle symbol.

I tried updating that item, pointing it to the unzipped directory of the file downloaded but it says I already have the updated driver.

Anybody know what I can do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Uninstall the drivers for your phone through control panel and use the the universal naked driver 0.7 , it works much better, I couldnt get the provided ones to work in fast boot either. Uninstall them, reboot, plug phone in, cancel it searching and manually look for the universal one

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Dee:
I installed this today on my North American i747 Galaxy s3 because the default Samsung adb drivers would not work for me while in CWM recovery.

When I tried to install while booted in the stock GS3 rom, I was given a selection of devices, chose the Samsung option, and I kept getting a code 10 error "This device cannot start". I am on windows 7, 64 bit. I then installed in cwm recovery, where no selection of device was offered, and the Galaxy Nexus ADB driver was automatically installed, which actually works perfectly! Thought it would be helpful to include this experience for others encountering similar issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mlauzon:
So, how exactly do you install these drivers, because your OP is clearly lacking in that regard, hell, there's not even a README with the zip file either..?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You install them the same way you manually install any other windows driver for any device, like printers or whatever else. There is nothing special about this.

If you don't know how, I'm sure you can easily find instructions somewhere, either here, on some windows forum, or on Google's how-to page for installing the oem drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Uninstall current driver with windows device manager any drivers you have for gnex, restart PC, connect your phone with USB and through windows search for where you placed the driver you downloaded. Then do the same in fast boot mode and your ready to go.
