ok bro I got this... you will kick yourself in the face like I did... so go into your device manager in windows: start>control panel>system>device manager>select the yellow triangle which should be uner a usb device android 1.0... then update this maunaly and select from list... look for the android drivers for adb should be first few... BAMN! all done
This is not my issue. All my drivers appear to be working normal. If I had the yellow triangle, then I would not even get ADB working when the phone is booted normally. I am having the same problem as everyone else, with the offline device found for a second. The drivers are good. It's only once I leave bootloader and enter recovery, the ADB Device disconnects/disappears, and then something along the lines of a mass storage device returns. I just need to confirm that I must keep doing to loop/reboot/repeat method properly...
