Computer not finding Google Glass fastboot driver


I'm trying to use the fastboot mode on my Google Glass device in order to root the device. However, when I start fastboot mode using adb reboot bootloader from the command prompt, my computer can't find the driver, so I can't send fastboot commands from my command prompt.

I've tried modeling my solution in the same way as the previous post Google Glass ADB devices doesn't find. OMAP4430 driver not installed (can't find it!), but it hasn't worked.

I currently have these lines under both the [Google.NTx86] section and the [Google.NTamd64] section in my android_winusb file in the usb_driver folder in my sdk:

;Google Glass
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&MI_01

I've tried using the device manager and manually directing the Glass device to the usb_driver folder in my sdk to update the driver software, but it's not working.

Any ideas as to how to solve this problem would be much appreciated.


Solution

  • Found instructions to create a universal adb driver here: http://ktnr74.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-make-truly-universal-adb-and.html

    I modified my android_winusb.inf file as per the instructions on this blog, and after that I was able to update my driver software using the device manager. I directed the device manager to the usb_driver folder in my sdk for the update, as I was doing before.
