nexus one Driver problem - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i have had this problem for a bit now, but it is really starting to bug me.
I have a dual boot computer, one is fedora, the other windows 7. When i decided to root my nexus one, i did it through windows, so i got the SDK, installed the drivers and rooted the phone.
Some time later (after flashing and restoring from desire rom back to CM 5) my computer can no longer recognise the device properly Windows will say it fails to recognise the device (code 43), and will not let me re-install the drivers. Saying they are up to date even after i uninstall the drivers then re-install them.
I have given up on fedora too, since no command ever seems to work on fedora beyond yum install xxx. Trying to get "fastboot devices" in fedora brings up "command not found" or something to that effect.
I wouldn't be too worried, but not everything comes as an update.zip, and i would like to try out the undervolted kernel some time.
Note: i can still mount the SD card fine.
EDIT: i can Mount the SD on Fedora, but not windows.

Things you can try out:
1. Completely uninstall and remove the driver from the system and connect the phone and install the drive when prompted. (try in safe mode as well)
2. Try other USB ports.
3. Try turning off USB debug, connect the phone and then turn on USB debug.
4. Try on another PC and rule out any problem with ur phone.
5. Reinstall Windows!!!

Thanks for the suggestions, i tried everything there short of re-installing windows.
As soon as i plug in the device windows will bring up the error message, it will not call it a nexus one, an unknown device. Any attempt to install the new drivers and windows will say that better drivers are already installed.
I also figured out that it will not work on fedora because it is not configured, but the only guide to fastboot and linux i have found is for ubuntu, and some of the commands wont work on fedora.
I tried it on another computer, an XP, it would not install on there either, i tried to use my mums N1 afterwards to see if it would install, it didn't but there are a number of reasons why it may not.
Any other suggestions? or could someone point me to a fedora guide for fastboot?

Help with ADB

Ok i made a post and it was moved to trash and it says i dont have permission to post there so ill just move it here.....
Ok well i have been trying for like 2 hours now to get ADB to work. I followed all the guides, installed the 1.5 SDK and everything even did the Enviroment Variable thing as well. When i plug in my G1 i dont get any popup of a new device or anything. In device manager there is not ADB as well just Android Phone and when i uninstall it, it installs again on its own when i plug the phone in again. I went to cmd and typed in adb shell but i get "device not found".
Anyone know whats wrong? Btw im using Windows Vista SP1
I went into fastboot and that gave me the new driver notification so i have fastboot working but when i go to ADB i get device not found and device manager finds my phone as a universal usb device or w/e. Why wont this work?!?!?!?
It sounds like you didn't install the drivers.
Read this (I wrote it). You should have adb working in no time.
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/what-is-adb-made-easy-17732/
Did you update the driver for the phone (should currently be showing as one of the USB Composite Device, IIRC) with the ADB driver included in the SDK (android_usb.inf in <sdk root directory>\usb_driver\)?
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Vista, alternatively, you can try the 64-bit signed driver found here. Also, you can try the updated driver I have attached.
Well, if you used your phone as a card reader at any point before you enabled USB debugging, then you'll have to uninstall the USB Mass Storage Device associated with your phone first. After that, unplug and plug the USB cord back in and it'll install the USB Mass Storage Device and then it'll ask about the ADB interface. That's your chance to install the driver that everyone is talking about but didn't spend the time to explain how to get there if you were in this situation...
never mind i got it. I used a program to uninstall all the Android USB drivers then i plugged it back in and it worked. Thanks for the help guys!

Usb Driver Problems

Ok. Right now I'm trying to root my nexus. I'm stuck at installing the usb driver. I tried following this tutorial /showthread.php?t=613217 but every time i choose the driver and it searches it tells me it "couldn't find a better match for my hardware" and the driver doesn't install. I've tried 2 different computers, a macbook pro dual booted with Win XP media center Sp 2 and a dell XP media center Sp 3. No luck with either of them. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? its getting really anoying

I'm having the same issue myself i think.
Look under N1 Q&A and find the topic "N1 Bricked"
Glad to know im not the only one
I have a iMac and I never even had to worry about drivers.
Just download/install/setup the Android SDK and the rest is automatic.
I have a tutorial called ADB 4 Dummies that will walk you through installing the android sdk 2.2(froyo) and setting up your environments. Step by step for every system.
First thing, unplug your Phone from computer, uninstall ALL drivers and try from scratch.
Also, if you're using windows, when you're done and you plug in your phone, don't choose to "automatically find drivers" instead manually point it to the drivers folder in the SDK.
Don't worry, it's not bricked. lol.

Hmmmm....
There are 2 modes to the bootloader HBOOT and Fastboot.
Make sure you're phone is in fastboot mode... it should say FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red on top. If it doesn't, use the volume down key, select Fastboot and hit the power button once to switch the phone to fastboot.
Remember, "adb devices" works while your phone is turned on regular. If your phone is in Fastboot mode use "fastboot devices"
Ok, are you using windows? If you are;
Turn off your phone and boot it back up in Bootloader mode. (trackball+pwr, or volume down+pwr)
Once it's on bootloader, plug it in to the computer.
See if the computer asks for any drivers, etc. If it does point it to the Drivers folder in the SDK. If it doesn't... go into your Device Manager. (Right click on MY COMPUTER, click on MANAGE and when computer management opens up, go to Device manager from the list on the left). Look to see if there are any icons with an Exclamation mark and yellow background. If there is, right click on it, select update driver and point it to the drivers folder in the sdk.
Basically there should be a menu on top that says "Android Phone" and when you expand that selection you'll see "Android Bootloader Interface".
nope, no luck with that either, I tried it both on windows XP and windows 7. same error each time. Could it be a problem with my device? because Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the nexus as a storage device or anything
Damn. I think i'm out of options. Last thing to try:
- Turn on phone regular.
- Plug in through USB to computer (try a different USB cable, even if that one worked with the CLIQ, try a different USB port also.)
- On Phone: GO to settings, Application Settings, Development, USB Debugging, (if it's checked on, check it off then on again) make sure it's ON.
Go into your Android SDK folder, go into the TOOLS folder. Now click on DDMS. See if it lists your device...
Last thing would be to go back through the Device Manager, and click on SCAN HARDWARE while your phone is plugged in... It has to be on that list somewhere, whether it's a bad driver, etc, it should still appear in your device manager somehow.
alright that didnt work, but, i got it, i just kept unplugging and plugging back in my phone until adb recognized it. then i got fastboot to run and now i have superuser . But now im stuck at another point. I'm trying to do the recovery.img file. I tried in mobile terminal "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it told me something like "flash_image not found" I saw that i could do this via fast boot but i dont know how to do that. how would i do fastboot on Mac?
http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/6-upgrade-nexus-one-recovery
when i try to do the fastboot command i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found" i dont think i have fastboot set up right
have you tried typing in "./" before the command? I found that that was one of my mistakes I did when I first rooted my phone
tried that, entered "./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img" and i just get "waiting for device"
I believe you can also try "./fastboot-mac flash recovery ./recovery.img"
Alright I flashed a clockwork recovery through the app manager in the market. Is there any way I can apply the other recovery with an update.zip?
Also, thanks so much for all the help guys!!!!!!!!!!
you can do it through terminal emulator, if you go to amonra's recovery thread he tells you how.
this is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
fastboot somtimes doesn't come in the SDK... download the version for your system from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/5-unlock-nexus-one-bootloader
place it in your androidsdk/tools folder

{SOLVED-HARDWARE} USB "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" - After SRE, ADW, etc.

Well, I spent the last week or so having all sorts of creative fun with my new Captivate. Unfortunately, I was having the random shutdown issue, so I decided to remove SRE, SU, etc, using ODIN to restore my phone back to stock and get it exchanged for a new one.
I came home with my new phone today and proceeded to start the customization process all over. Before I did anything serious, I connected my new Captivate to my desktop, to both charge the battery and to sync with outlook using Kies.
With a full battery and my contacts loaded, I moved on the rooting and installing SRE. I then installed a bunch of apps, including ADW, ShopSavvy, and a bunch of games.
I then tried to get on the Market to download a few more apps. I forgot to 'emulate' T-Mobile to get around the AT&T censorship, so I fired up MarketAccess. I got an error message saying that MarketAccess couldn't get SU privs. That made no sense, since the phone was rooted, and SRE installed SuperUser. I downloaded the latest copy of Superuser and installed that. The SU problem was now fixed. (Turns out there was a glitch in the SRE I used. Designgears quickly fixed the zip file, but I was already using the glitchy one.)
Anyway, after loading a slew of apps/games, I plugged the phone back into the desktop to charge the battery some more. I got two error messages, one on the phone, and one on the desktop.
The phone complained that it was not on an 'idle' screen, since ADW was running. Since I had set ADW to be the default launcher, I used TitaniumBackup to temporarily uninstall ADW. (I couldn't figure out how to stop ADW and set TW back to the default.)
The desktop is more or a serious problem. I am now getting an info bubble saying that the USB DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED.
The correct USB drivers are installed. I've used them to ODIN my previous phone back to stock. And they were working fine before I added SRE, ADW, etc.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Didn't help.
I tried USB Debugging, on and off. Didn't help.
I tried the age-old trick of unplugging the desktop and leaving it unplugged for 30 minutes. Didn't help.
So, here are my questions:
1) Does anyone know how to correct the DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED error?
2) If not, is there anyway for me to restore the phone to stock without USB connectivity?
The phone still functions fine, just no USB. I was able to download the new SRE (with SuperUser fixed) using Dolphin browser. I then used My Files to rename and move the zip file to the root directory, and was able to install it fine. Is this same approach possible to restore to stock?
Thanks in advance...
Uninstall the usb drivers. Not sure what there called when kies installs it

I had a similar problem and it turn out that Kies hosed up all my drivers...The only way I got it fix was by totally removing any trace of Kies and then uninstalled all my samsung drivers and usb drivers and then rebooted my pc. Then I reinstalled the samsung drivers and win 7 did the rest...
Well, I haven't uninstalled Kies yet. Although I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the ODIN thread. No difference.
I even uninstalled the ODIN referred drivers and tried the drivers directly from the Samsung site. Still no difference.
I'll go ahead and try uninstalling Kies and then the ODIN drivers, reinstall the ODIN drivers and see if that helps.
I've also ordered a new cable, since I've read a few threads on other forums where the problem was bad cables. I was going to go to AT&T and get a new cable, but they want $24.99. I just ordered a pair from Amazon at $3.99 each, with free shipping!!
Thanks...off to try ridding myself of Kies...
Well, deleting Kies (and associated drivers) didn't help!
After deleting Kies, I tried both the ODIN referenced drivers, as well as those from the Samsung site. Still not working!
I guess I'll wait on a new cable and see if that helps...
Okay, I think I'm in BIG TROUBLE here!!!
New cables arrived today, but they made no difference at all! Still getting the USB Device Not Recognized message. Doesn't matter if I plug the cable in while the phone is on and select any of the connection options (Kies, Mass Storage, etc.). It gives me the same message when I have Odin running and plug the phone in while holding the volume keys.
To further add to the problem, I tried installing the Odin referenced USB drivers on my wife's laptop which has never seen this phone or Kies. SAME PROBLEM!
I'm thinking there might actually be something wrong with the physical port on the phone. But this highlights my actual problem...
How can I return the phone (for the second time) when this phone has been rooted and is running SRE 1.2.1a ?!?!?
Apparently, there's no way for me to restore this thing to stock without USB.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Relax dude--I just got a captivate a few weeks ago, and have it working on tmobile.
For the drivers, when you plug your phone in, you're getting some errors. I know you uninstalled the drivers, but to double-check, open up device manager and see if there are any ! marks for the phone. Right-click and uninstall the entries. Also, you might try using a different USB port. I can only get my phone to connect using one of the 6 usb ports i've tried. Finally, and I don't know if these are the drivers for Odin, but I downloaded these drivers: SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
When the phone connects, you might want to go to device manager, find the device(s), righ-click and and select 'update driver'. then, in the driver update window, pick 'manual' or 'let me specify location' and navigate to the unzipped SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2 file. Then, it should work.
Like I said, I have no idea if those are the drivers for odin...but I'm about to find out
I'd like to relax, but I think I'm dealing with a phone with a bad usb port...and since I've rooted, SRE'ed, etc., I won't be able to return it.
Anyway...
The driver you're using is the 'direct from Samsung' version, not the one for Odin.
Regardless, I've been through the exercise you propose...both with the Samsung and Odin drivers. When you attempt to manually install drivers, you need to point the installer to the ".inf" setup information file to use. The Samsung driver has three: SSADADB2.inf, SSADBUS.inf, and SSADMDM2.inf.
I get the following message when trying to use any of these three setup files:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.
Oh, and I've tried several different USB ports on the computer...both on my external hub and directly into the back of the machine.
Thanks for the suggestions, but still not working...
I'm really thinking I have a bad port on the phone...especially since trying the connection on my wife's laptop produces the exact same error.
Dam...
Still trying to find a way to restore the phone to stock without a USB connection...
i also have this "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" on my sony x1.
Drivers
I was having trouble using the USB drivers from Samsung the one's you were using SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2. The computer didn't recognize the phone. If you havn't tryed these already give these a try. Well since I am new I can't post the url. Put these words together (forum.xda-developers com archive index.php t-730638)

Not sure different USB drivers would help, but I went to the thread you show and tried to download the 32bit drivers. This is what I get:
{"error": "Invalid access attempt for this token"}
Oh well, thanks anyway.
I'm still thinking that the problem is hardware on the phone. I've tried four different cables, and three different computers. All show same problem of DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED.
Still trying to figure out how to restore to stock without USB connection for ODIN so I can exchange for a new phone...
What are your USB settings on the device? Do you have debug mode enabled or maybe you've set the device to connect to kies right away which is producing errors on your PC. What versions of windows have you been trying to connect to? This sounds like a windows problem more than anything else.
No modifications, same error
I didn't make any modifications to my new AT&T Captivate, and I too am getting USB Device not recognized under any of the following conditions:
- drivers installed, no Kies
- drivers installed after Kies
- Kies installed after drivers
No response to any USB connection mode (Kies, mass storage, media player, PC INternet).
Only way to exchange files is to physically remove the SD card and plug it into my PC. Windows XP Professional.
By the way, which of the three drivers is the correct one: ssadadb2.inf, ssadbus.inf, or ssadmdm2.inf? Pardon my ignorance as to how this is supposed to work.

You should return your phone if it's new if you can't get your computer to recognize it when you have the correct settings and drivers.
Choose, mass storage. I use the drivers from ODIN, I also have to ones from Samsung's site but they are for Windows 7 64bit. Before you plug any Captivate into a PC for the first time you need to first change the settings to USB Mass storage or Kies will attemp to download drivers. Once you get your phone to mass storage windows should find the drivers. I am not sure, I am running Windows 7, I have an old desktop that runs XP, I could plug my phone in and check for you.

The 2 folders I found that have the drivers are /program files/android/, .... and /program files/samsung. Delete these subfolders that have drivers in them.
Download this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N4GC49JL and unzip. In the folders inside (i386 and amd) there are uninstallers. Run whichever version is appropriate for you. If you have no drivers or it doesn't say to reboot, the main folder has a setup program. Run that to install the proper drivers. When you plug in to usb, it will now find these drivers.
Also, for me, ONLY the REAR usb ports work properly with this. Top, front, and ext hub ALL give issues.....

I haven't tried ADB, but I'm not understanding how ADB would be able to connect when the connection to the computer is failing at the driver level. I guess I can give it a try tomorrow.
Thanks for trying to help!
What would REALLY help me is for someone to post a backup taken of a completely stock (ODIN'ed) phone using ROM manager. I'm thinking I could load that on the phone and then be able to return it for a new phone!
Any volunteers...please?

Just got my first Android device a couple hours ago (went from ATT Bold to Captivate), and could not get the phone to mount to my PC.... followed your instructions here and BAM! Perfect-o! I have now rooted....
OK, not sure where to go next... was thinking about just getting a new ROM flashed since I am totally stock at this point.... the fun begins!!!

Great!! Glad it all worked for you. My next advice is, before adding anything READ A LOT!!! =) Decide what you want from the descriptions and issues you will see in the threads....
Happy modding!!
I didn't see, I just skimmed through bit did you try to put the phone in download mode and see if windows sees that (different drivers come in to play in download mode and none of the touch wiz stuff is running)? it would test the idea of a bad port.
then you can still always install linux and use adw from there, linux and macs don't need drivers. if that doesn't work, put insurance on the phone if you haven't already then drop it in the sink and get another one.
also I think although I don't know but I think adw may have something to do with it. and incorrectly uninstalling it. first put the phone in download mode then you can work from there on ways to fix that.

Ok, I've given up trying to get this to work. I'm 100% convinced this is a hardware problem with the phone!
I had another thread going, looking for a way to restore this phone (remove SRE, SU, etc.) without usb/ODIN so I could return it to AT&T. I've figured out how to restore it to stock and will be heading to AT&T in the morning.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and assistance!

[Q] Nook, ADB problems

For some reason my nook won't show up in windows 7 device manager as anything but a storage device (both the nook and sdcard). It doesn't show up under "other hardware" like all the tutorials show. I am at a loss?
Should I reset my device (unroot, wipe clean, etc)? And try again or am I missing something.
I am looking to get ad hoc working and am stuck in the mud
Depending on what ROM you're running... you may need to go into nook color tools and toggle usb debugging mode... it is a known issue in some ROMs....
You may also need to edit %userprofile$\.android\adb_usb.ini so the only line in it is:
0x2080
anyone have problems in ubuntu 10.04 can't get it :'(
I figuered it might be that I had tried some different kerenels recently. I did eventually return to stock. I have toggled debugging mode to no avail.
I will follow the other instructions you provided and if all else fails wipe her clean and try that.
Thanks.

I have the same problem and am using the stock kernal. I have even tried two different computers (one with Win 7 and the other with XP) and get the same result. The first time it I tried with XP it showed "NookColor" under Other Devices with a ? mark. In just a second, it reloaded Device Manager and would never showed up again. I have tried all suggestions including the USB Debugging toggle with no positive results. By the way, I rooted using auto-nooter 3.0 for Nook Version 1.1. Everything seems to work well and I am using ADW Laucher EX. I am familiar with ADB as I used it root my Motorola Droid. In that case, I had no problems with it seeing my Droid.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I also have Ubuntu on a test computer that I may try if no solutions are found.

I had the same issue in Ubuntu 10.04. My Evo would show up fine. My NookColor I could not get to show up though. No matter what I tried (I tried all the walk throughs on forums, Nookdevs.com, etc).
I finally just gave up. I've just been moving APK's from my Evo to my Nook to install them. There are many other things I'd wish to do through ADB other then install apps though so I may give it another shot sometime soon.
If it worked in some ROM versions and not in others... you need to check the device ID in windows device manager... get the PID for the device listed.... then you will need to add the device PID to the .inf file for the drivers so it will know to use the drivers that work for the "new" device (not really new.. just HWID change in some new kernels/ROMs
I had a world of trouble getting getting my computer to recognize the nook so that ADB would recognize the device. I mean HOURS of debugging.
However.. good news!... The answer that can help you is...: screw it and just download adbwireless app. All you do is run the app while connected to your home network and then on your computer run the the command "adb connect 192.168.1.xxx:5555" and you are connected and can run adb just like you were USB'd up
I hope this helps
Recommend installing the easy ADB install for Windows from the developers forum.
On Win7, sometimes you need to force the driver to use "USB Composite device" or "Android composite USB device", even after doing the easy ADB installer above.
Managed to get ADB working after Autonooker 3.0, Nook 1.1
Hi, All,
I had similar problems. I managed after a bit of fuss on my mac to get ADB up and running.
The main problem seemed to be getting USB debugging working. I went into nook color tools, from ADW launcher. I went to All Settings : Development, and saw that USB debugging was checked, but I didn't believe it was running.
So, I unchecked both Auto Mount (to simplify what the heck was going on over USB) and USB debugging, and hit back, to save the settings. Then I went back into debugging, and re-checked USB debugging.
Then, I made sure that ~/.android/adb_usb.ini contained the line:
0x2080
I killed the adb server and restarted it, and voila, ADB.
Hope this helps some folks.

I am in the same boat, adb works fine on my other android device, but won't see my nook for anything.
I have tried every permutation I have seen of the rules file, still nothing.

[Q] One not detected properly in fastboot mode

Hi there,
I`ve got the following Problem:
My One is not detected properly in fastboot mode, adb works like a charm (all cmds working)
In fastboot mode windows says that the device cannot be started (code 10) and cmd cannot find the device and it`s also not charging in fastboot...
I`m using Windows 8 and I know that there are problems with driver signatures, so I disabled the checks through advanced boot, uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them (the strange thing is, it worked like a charm with my HOX)
After that still the same issues... Then I uninnstalled the HTC drivers and tried the drivers from Google SDK and after that the drivers from PDAnet but nothing helped...
Then I read that there are Problems with USB3.0 and fastboot but I only got USB3.0. So I tried different USB ports and reconnected many times (about 30 times) and maybe the phone says "fastboot USB" but in cmd it`s still not detected...
As I said before with my HOX it worked like a charm... (also Win8 and USB3.0)
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

Try disabling Fastboot in the Power Settings.
I tried it again with fastboot disabled but it still doesn`t work... :/
same problem here....

hey envoy_467,
I found a solution for this issue:
It seems that microsoft´s own driver for the Intel USB3.0-Host breaks the support for several devices. You can install the Intel drivers for Win7 on Win8 (search google: Windows 8 and Intel USB3.0 host controller there should be a link to plugable. I´m not able to post links cause I don´t have enough posts...) but it only works with the Intel host.
Hope it will help you too!
greetz,

usb device not recognized
I'm having a similar problem using windows 8, but I tried both my usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports but results in same problem. I have a t-mobile HTC One S (JB 4.1.1). Everytime I try to do the fastboot to get my token id my pc tells me my usb device is not recognized. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Try THIS
Sorry to bump this thread, but it's better than creating a new one.
Anyway, I have the same issue as the others here: fastboot won't work at all.
Btw, I've tried all possible solutions but installing the intel driver isn't possible due to a limitation on Windows + Intel 8 Series.
Windows 8, Intel 4th generation processor (8 Series/220) on a Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI.
USB eXtensible Host Controller driver by Microsoft can't be modified to work with the Intel 8 Series driver. When trying to install it it says that my PC doesn't have the requirements to install the program (driver can be found here -- 8 Series ONLY!!) probably because I'm on Windows 8 (no, setting the app to run with Win7 compatibility mode doesn't work either).
Using Naked Driver 0.72..
Has anyone tried with a virtual machine? Maybe I could install Ubuntu on a VM to test it when I get the time.
Any other ideas?
VM doesn't work.. Since Windows won't recognize the phone while on fastboot that means that the VM Linux won't find the devide either.
LiveUSB won't install the android SDK either.. I'm stuck..
FIXED, kinda.. Workaround on Linux.
More info:
Just did it..
But not on Windows..
I've created a LiveUSB from Ubuntu 12.04 using the "Universal USB Installer" from: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/
When creating the LiveUSB I've created with 4gb (4096mb) of free space on a 16gb flash drive just in case, but you can make it work with a 4gb flash drive.
Then I installed the Android SDK.
Then I was able to use fastboot to change the CID to 11111111.. Working great.. Now let's download the developer ruu..
Tutorial used to install the SDK: http://askubuntu.com/questions/318246/complete-installation-guide-for-android-sdk-on-ubuntu
To run all commands faster, just type "sudo su" before starting. After that type "apt-get -f install" to clean everything.
Remember: To install anything the tutorial asks you have to use the command "apt-get install name-of-package", where the name is the item the tutorial says.
Go up to Step 4.
Download and Unzip/extract the AndroidSDK to the desktop (just the SDK, you don't need the full bundle).
Go to the unzipped folder, go to the Tools folder, double click "android", run in terminal, install the SDK and the TOOLS.
When finished, open a terminal window, navigate to your unzipped folder, than navigate to platform-tools and use the command "./adb" and "./fastboot" to work your magic..
Edit: Still not able to install the RUU..
At least now I have the phone ready.. Just have to find a new PC to install the RUU..
