After enabling USB debugging on my Nexus 7, I still can't get "adb devices" to list my Nexus 7. I also tried switching its USB connection type from "media" to "camera", to no effect. I have Windows 7; I see a "Nexus" device under Other Devices in my device manager, but when I try to install the Google USB drivers from the Android SDK, Windows refuses to take it.
This is going to make development difficult Anyone know where I can find working USB drivers for Windows 7?

If you have updated the drivers from the SDK, then your problem is probably coming from the cable.
PS: Try not to use an extension cable
When I have had this problem in the past I have found that installing PDA net solves it.

You may try to use device manager to solve the issue.:
Firstly please connect your Nexus 7 to you computer using the USB cable
included in the box.
Then on the tablet,
choose "Settings" -> "Storage" -> open the menu -> choose "USB computer connection" -> choose "MTP" or "PTP".
On your computer,
1. Control Panel -> Hardare and Sound -> View devices and printers
2. Click on Nexus.
3. Click on "Hardware" tab
4. Click on "Properties"
5. Click on "Change settings"
6. Click on "Driver" tab
7. Click on "Update drivers".
I'd suggest that you repeat these steps for both "MTP" and "PTP" connection types mentioned above.
Then on your computer, run "adb devices", the Nexus 7 would be listed in the
output of the adb command.
Enjoy.
Works with PTP mode - MTP mode doesn't
just for future reference...
By default it uses the MTP mode for USB. ADB is not working in this mode, even after i follow all the steps in above post.
Change it to use PTP (Camera mode), and ADB works !! go figure.
driving me crazy too.
First, windows did not recognize the thing in AdB mode. I managed to get around that with PDA net. But in cmd mode running "fastboot oem unlock" it just sits there saying "waiting for device". Also switched to both usb modes under "storage" as well as tried all usb ports on my pc (running Win 7 64bit). Using original cable.
Any other clues on what to do next?

ADB and fastboot may have two different drivers, this is the case with most other devices.
Anywho here's a link to the all inclusive driver bundle. Drivers was one of the reasons I only use a linux distro these days.

Still nothing. Deleted the drivers, and it obviously installed the new ones, since the name under the "device manager" changed. I go to the Android sdk and it still says waiting for device. Is there different versions of fastboot? Maybe its the wrong command? (fastboot oem unlock)

Oh and fastboot is not available during normal operations and it has to be booted into the bootloader to use fastboot. Try using adb reboot bootloader and then when it restarts fastboot oem unlock.
I'm in the exact same situation
I'm having the same problem. I'm not exactly sure how to use the Naked Drivers pack. Can someone advise?
Easy as ADB...
Use the step by step instructions in the Nexus Root Toolkit found here;

Set it to ptp mode, install updated sdk, and you will find proper adb driver in extras/google/usb-driver directory. After those steps adb started to work in my case' no need for third party downloads.

I've been having the same issues with all of the new android devices I've tried to use adb on my computer for. I as able to make them work by manually installing the drivers in device manager. When you choose browse for drivers manually you can look through pre installed drivers and select adb interface and manually choose the drivers for adb and fast boot. Only issue I have is that it won't give adb root access and says rot is not available in production builds. Not sue if that's related or not.

Windows 7 - Nexus 7 ADB Recognition
For me, like others, choosing either MTP or PTP from the Nexus 7's USB computer connection options didn't solve the issue. Updated to the latest version of the Android SDK Tools within Eclipse [version 20.0.1], and even uninstalled and re-installed the Google USB Driver [Revision 6] within the Android SDK manager, but no luck.
What ended up clearing the issue for me was to go to Computer Management, find the Nexus device with the question mark next to it, update the driver by browsing a location on the computer, browse to the location on your computer where you saved the Android SDK [the one with the following directories: add-ons, docs, extras, platforms, platform-tools, etc], and choose that very folder containing those folders I mentioned. It should search for a while then ask you whether or not to install some Asus/Google driver.
After installing that driver, my N7 was recognized by the "adb devices" command.
NOTE: Turns out when I updated the driver, my N7 was in PTP mode, and when I switched it to MTP mode, it was no longer recognized under adb devices. adb kill-server then adb start-server should get it recognized again when you switch between MTP and PTP.
Hope this works for all of you out there, like me, who really didn't want to take the 3rd party software route to overcome this problem.
Cheers.
ADB driver
Try to root toolkit from Wugfresh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
There is a very complete and usable guide to install ADB driver for most version of windows (XP->win 7).
You don't have to unlock or root; just use the interactive guide for driver install.
Good luck

i'm having the issue with the mtp not being recognized in adb. can you be more specific in the adb kill-server and adb start-server.
Ok I've been following every step some posts follow in order to upgrade every Android SDK component to the last version (adb, sdk manager, avd manager, usb driver, web driver and ALMOST EVERYTHING fetched in the sdk manager). I have my Nexus 4 on stock 4.2.2 (JDQ39) working like a charm with its USB driver with my PC, the debugging is on, also the unknown sources option (if any), the phone is properly linked with the "adb fingerprint protection" thing (can't remember the correct name), and last I can see my Nexus 4 detected on adb devices command AND STILL I can't install a sole apk, in this case I'm using Android Commander 0.7.9.11 and nothing, I've tried with Droid Explorer or even Moborobo and nothing.
However in my cousin's laptop I can successfully install apps.
I thought it must be something wrong or corrupted with my OS, so I reinstalled Windows 8 (x64) and take care about all the drivers and everything mentioned above and still... I get the same, so I'm running desperate here.
Maybe it's something simple, I just need someone to help me.
Sorry if I writed so much... I only did it to avoid Android's ABC related questions.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards.

I just got a brand new Nexus 7 and I went to root it with the nexus 7 toolkit. Long story short the Nexus's serial number would not show up under the attatched devices.
I have tried uninstalling the driver, reinstalling both the driver provided by the nexus 7 toolkit and asus. Neither work. Interestingly eclipse will not connect either.
Device manager shows the adb interference as working however adb will not return a connected device.
I also tried putting the nexus into ptp mode and using adb even though I did not do that with my previous nexus 7. When the Nexus is in PTP mode device manager will not allow me to install drivers for the adb interference. Which is odd since I thought if I installed adb drivers once I wouldn't have to again.
EDIT: I should also add that adb in fastboot and stock recovery works. I was able to try reflashing the device with a stock nexus 7 ROM but it didn't work. Still couldn't connect to abd while android was booted. Also I noticed that my old nexus has both mtp and adb available at the same time. However the new nexus only allows one or the other. E.g. I can't access the files system while adb is enabled and vice versa.
Do you guys have any idea why this is happening? My old nexus works fine.

I will be watching this thread as am having the same issue right down to working fine in ptp or camea mode, but am unable to click and drag files to the device. And similiarily to you, have no problems with the 16g nexus only the 32. I am using skippen's toolkit.
A possible solution.

I forgot I made this thread. I have since since solved the issue and have both mtp and adb at the same time with this particular nexus 7.
First of all installing new drivers on my windows 7 installation was causing a problem. So I backed up and reinstalled. However, while that solved other problems it did not solve my issues with the Nexus.
After a lot of fiddling I finally got it to work by using the official google usb driver. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Now here's the thing. I discovered that windows treated each combination of adb+mtp or adb+ptp, adb alone, mtp alone, and ptp as a seperate device. So while they all might use the same driver windows considered them different devices.
So basically what I did was install google's driver whenever a combination of usb modes did not work correctly. So in adb+mtp (which is what I really want to be able to use) I went to device manager found my nexus 7 under android devices or whatever it is called and installed the the official google driver. It proceeded to tell me there was an error but then it proceeded to work perfectly. The error may have been just my computer acting up because of all the drivers I'd been installing/uninstalling trying to get this to work.
Also, when you go into device manager and try to install the usb driver you typically right click on the device, select update driver and then click search computer, browse to the folder containing the driver and install. Sometimes that would fail for me, windows would say I already had an updated driver. Thankfully I did find a workaround that forces windows to install the driver you want to install no matter what.
When you get to the part where you browse your computer for the driver click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Then there should be a button that says I have the disk. Click on that browse to the folder with drivers, say yes to any warnings and continue.
If the I have a disk button does not appear and instead a list of possible manufacturers or devices shows up just click on one of the entries. Then the I have the disk button should appear.
The danger with forcing windows to install the driver you want is that you can install any driver for anything and possibly damage something.
Hope this helps!
My tablet is in developer mode, USB data bugging is clicked on. In storage, MTP is clicked on. Using the latest Android SDK along with the latest Google Win USB drivers (also different cables, different ports, uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers and software, turned on and off debug, debug authorization.. Just about everything I can think of.) Also, no, not rooted, fully stock. Been searching for a few days for this problem that occurs while trying to upgrade to Kit Kat 4.4 from JWR66Y 4.3 on my nexus 10.
Plug in my n10 normally and WIN7 will see it in the device manager as Android Device, Android Composite ADB Interface, Hardware Ids =
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&REV_0226&MI_01
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
Boot the n10 into recovery and the adb sideload, the n10 shows everything correctly and waits for the adb sideload file. CONNECT THE USB cable and Win7 does not recognize the device. Tries to find a driver for 'other devices, nexus 10' but eventually returns with no driver found. Tried installing from specific directories (new google usb driver download), letting it search windows update evewn search my entire hd. It cannot locate a driver. Device manager shows an entirely different Hardware Id for 'other devices, Nexus 10' =
HARDWARE IDS (OTHER DEVICES, NEXUS 10)
USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0226
USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001
I did a search with this information and found others had this ID/problem with their Nexus 7 during the Jelley Bean upgrade!
http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode/
There is no Nexus 10 in this file, but the second line of 'google nexus (generic)' list the ID that I have when booting normally.
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
I assume that if I replace this number with the ID I see in adb sideload mode (USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001) I should be able to install the correct USB and ADB drivers as others did on their n7 (shown in that link)?
My problem is identical to tbe description on that link, but I am guessing at the fix for the n10. This sounds like the solution to me, but I am also worried if it could be a sign of a bigger broblem or might brick my nexus. So any help would be appreciated!
Thanks all!
Ed
I tried changing the ID initially as well but then adb throws errors about the ini file not being verified. In the end I installed these to get the adb drivers properly installed: http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver
After that Windows finally properly recognised my N10 (and the command adb devices also showed it could see the device) and I was able to sideload kitkat.

Wow, I hope someone finds this thread and it saves them the headaches and searches I have been through. Worked just like you said, installed this adb usb driver and it picked it right up. I wonder why google couldn't get the google driver to read their own nexus 10 tablet!
Now running Kitkat 4.4 with no data loss, thanks to you Kira!
Thank you!
