Help Best and easiest way to unroot and flash stock on my gnex?

[gale65]

I did. It keeps saying the best driver is already installed. So I uninstalled every driver that had to do with google or samsung and reinstalled and tried again and it keeps saying the same thing. I think I'll just have her use the phone rooted for now and use her ipod touch for apps that can't be used on the phone. I never had much trouble rooting the phones. It's unrooting that's giving me fits.

Hmm... It sounds like you are trying to automatically search for the driver if it's telling you the best driver is already installed. You should still be able to choose your own manually, regardless of which driver is already installed. I wish I could just get my hands on the phone, haha.

If you have access to a windows 7 computer, you might have better luck getting fastboot working.

My laptop is windows 7. I'll try it tonight. If I throw this stupid phone hard enough, it might reach you. I'm about to.

Lol!! Just a side note, if you can't get it unrooted, you may still be able to use some of those apps. My bank app supposedly doesn't work on rooted devices but if I deny it superuser access, it still works.

Sounds like a driver issue. Post a picture of device manager on your PC.

It's definitely a driver issue. Before, when I connected my phone in fastboot mode or just on with the screen unlocked, there were no yellow triangles in my device manager. Now there is, for some reason. I don't think I've changed anything since then so I don't know why. But I went ahead and downloaded the drivers and sdk tools again (in case one of the files was corrupted) and when I attempt to update the driver I navigate to the proper folder and it says there are no compatible drivers in the folder. I'm going to try on my win7 laptop when I get a chance. I think there's a good chance it's a windows 10 issue.

I use Koush universal drivers and manually select them.

 

[Brian706]

Getting closer! It's progress at least. I think it will say there's no compatible driver if you just select the folder. Did you try going all the way in and picking the actual driver file? Or will it not let you?

 

[gale65]

I think it just said it wasn't compatible. I downloaded the koush driver pkg and installed. Which file is the correct driver? Or do I have it browse the folder?

eta: I probably picked the folder. I don't know a driver file from any other file I guess.

So now that the holidays are over I finally got around to trying this on my laptop. No luck. I download the drivers as shown in the wugfresh kit and the img as well but it keeps failing on the connection part. I was going to let my daughter use the phone as is but when we try to open the play store it won't open. I will just let her use the nexus 5 for now, even though the battery (which I just replaced) is horrible. Guess I'll be shopping for another phone soon.
