First: update your ADB. If you don't have ADB, then you'll want to fix that before you spend another second at XDA. I personally only use official releases from Google, so I might not be much help if you're using something you found at random at XDA or elsewhere on the Internet. You can download Google's latest release of their tools from the very bottom of this page . (I recommend installing or extract them to C:\Android for easy access.) Using the "SDK Manager" included in that download, choose to install "Android Platform-tools" and "Google USB drivers", and remember to run it again once in a blue moon for updates.If ADB isn't the problem, I'm happy to offer what assistance I can.
