And the USB driver is good to have too.Īfter installing these I went to the Dropbox folder where I had extracted everything, went into the android-sdk-windows\platform-tools sub-folder, pressed the SHIFT key and right clicked within the folder, and selected the option to “Open a command window here”.Īfter this I went to the OnePlus One “Settings” menu > “About phone” > and tapped 7 times on the “Build number”. I need the “Android SDK Platform-tools” as that contains the tools I want.
I un-selected the “Android 5.0” folder and “Android SDK Build-tools” as I don’t need these. Plus under the “Extras” folder the “Google USB Driver” and “Android Support Library” too were selected. This had “Android SDk Tools”, “Android SDK Platform-tools”, and “Android SDK Build-tools” selected as well as a bunch of items under the folder called “Android 5.0 (API 21)”. (The zip version can be found under “View All Downloads and Sizes”).ĭownloaded the zip file. Specifically, I downloaded the zip version of the SDK tools so I can put it in my Dropbox for future use. I didn’t download the ADT, only the SDK tools. That’s worth a read.įirst I downloaded the Android SDK on my laptop. :) Also, I have an older post that explains boot loaders, custom recovery, etc. I didn’t succeed in what I set out to, so this could be a waste of your time too. This is more of a rambling on what I did. Note that if you are looking for a tutorial sort of post there are better places on the Internet. So … here’s what I did to unlock the device and trying not to lose the data.
I prefer the second option, but it doesn’t matter really because to install/ temporarily boot a custom recovery the device must be unlocked! And unlocking means my data will be wiped. Either of these options will then let me root the device.
Oneplus one adb driver fail install#
Option 1 is to install a custom recovery, option 2 is to temporarily boot into a custom recovery.
Oneplus one adb driver fail update#
Then I realized that the device bootloader isn’t unlocked! I don’t know why, but I assumed the OnePlus One came unlocked and rooted. Silly me! All I want to do is root the device (an update file for SuperSU can be downloaded from here), but to do that I can’t use the stock recovery as that performs signature checking and so the update will fail). Unboxed my new OnePlus One and immediately installed the usual apps etc.
