darkcyber,

Try the Naked drivers (uninstall all other Samsung drivers first):

ADB/FB Driver Naked Samsung Driver 1.7

Also, put your phone in fastboot / bootloader mode before installing

-- or --

PDAnet drivers (I haven't tried these myself, but I've seen many others reference them):

32-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP

64-bit Windows 7/Vista

If prompted, specify "Samsung" as your device manufacturer; you can also un-install PdaNet afterwards, but leave the USB drivers intalled.

There's also detailed information in the how-to root thread: http://androidforums.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-all-things-root/469049-how-root-vzw-lte-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html as well as several other USB drivers at the bottom of the first post.

Good luck!

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

 

Well, member BIGPHILWA PM'd me to let me know that you should put your phone into fastboot mode first before connecting and trying to install the drivers (and I think his experience and what he read over at XDA reinforced this).

Merry Christmas to you, too, darkcyber (9 minutes to go for me here in Indy )).

Cheers!

toker11,

Check out this post in this thread:

That'll tell you how to get them installed.

I'll be updating the title of that thread very soon, but the link will work even if it changes.

Cheers!
