Hi all,
I've searched the forums (honestly), but I can't find an answer to my problem.
I have a Vodafone branded 32B phone.
I installed the AndroidSDK as supposed to, added the path, made the phone root, booted into the recovery console using fastboot and flashed my phone with different operating systems... but during all this time I hever got ADB to work.
Whatever I do, adb never finds the phone. Fastboot works and finds it, when it's in fastboot mode, but ADB never. So, I can't permanently install the recovery console nor do any of the other funky stuff.
ADB doesn't work when the phone is in fastboot mode nor normally operating. I have USB Debugging turned on. The phone works normally and I can access the SDCard just fine.
Any help?
Suggestion.
Look into purchasing a G1 to be kept as a spare and used for development. That's what I've done with my G1. GParted is within most recovery images nowadays, therefore you can do most anything there, well...important functions that is. Keep that in mind.
You might need to uninstall the driver that recognizes your phone, then manually install the updated driver.

that's what i had to do to get it to recognise my phone.
i'm pretty sure the driver came with SDK. either way i've attached the one i used.
go into device manager and update the driver it's currently using with the attached one.
Incorrect driver.
It should be the 1st driver listed in the Android SDK file.
As far as I know, you could also choose to push ADB to your system32 file folder under the C: drive in your computer. That is if you're using a Windows machine.
just a thought
Are you on windows or linux? If you're in ubuntu try sudo adb ... the default unprivilaged user doesnt automatically have access to the device.
If you're in Windows I would uninstall the Android Phone device in device manager and reboot with the phone disconnected. Then connect it and install the usb driver from the sdk when prompted. Might also pay to download the sdk again.
Install HTC Sync
Another known way to fix the issue is to download and install HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=573&news_id=169
This seems to install the correct drivers

Hey Guys,
Forgot to mention I'm on Windows Vista 64 bits.
That last suggestion did the trick. I went to the site and downloaded the HTCDriverUpdate_Vista_64bits.exe, and within seconds I had an ADB connection.
Thanks for your help!
Hello
I have a stock Vodaphone Magic and I'm looking to root it, but to do this I need to get adb to see it, which I'm having problems with.
When I plugged it in first to charge it used window's default drivers for the SD card etc. Trying to update the drivers with the ones included in the SDK dosn't seem to work as Windows says that they're less recent.
Also, I can't see any sort of "ADB" section in the device manager, even with USB debugging turned on in the phone.
Any help? I'd really like to root my phone so I can use WPA Enterprise!
Edit: Already read the wiki page, no help.
I remember having this problem when I first set up the Android SDK.
However in my device manager I did have a device, it wasn't called Android or Magic or anything similar. From what I remember it was a bunch of random letters and numbers.
From there I right clicked it, went to Properties, Update Driver and then pointed it to the directory with the drivers.
Thats how I did it in Windows 7, if that doesn't work for you then I'm not sure sorry.
Hi,
I recently had the same problem as you. The first time you plug in your phone sometimes Windows will assign USB drivers to the device instead of the ADB interface. To correct this, I uninstalled the drivers and pointed the computer to the ADB files as the new drivers. After those install it should be labelled correctly and work.
put in a new SSD and got Windows 8.1, did a fresh install on a new hard-drive, everything's been working great, My nexus 4 has worked with with ADB./Fastboot and I've been able to transfer files to and from it in MTP mode. Been like that for about 4 days until about 3 hours ago, I had Windows Explorer crash, had to run Task Manager, end the process, and then manually restart explorer.exe My device was plugged in when this happened, and afterwards, I noticed that I could no longer see my Nexus 4 under the Devices & Drives section of "This Computer" (My Computer had a better ring to it lol) First I tried rebooting both my laptop and my Nexus 4, then I tried uninstalled the drivers, rebooting, re-installing, and then rebooting again. Did that like 4 times now, each time re-downloading the drivers, and doing an MD5 hash to create a Checksum, and checking them each time. Also to no avail. ADB shows my device serial number when i enter : ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized, so if I try anything like: ADB Reboot Bootloader, it says Device is not authorized.
So ! I don't understand wtf is going on. Was working fine before. The drivers are up to date, I just flashed the Official OTA image, and was on the leaked image prior to that. Then earlier this evening I switched to the newest version of the Nexus 5 Port, and everything was still working fine, hadn't made any changes in a couple hours before this happened. When I install the drivers, It acts like it worked. Instead of saying "NEXUS 4" under Other Devices in my Device Manager, it says Composite ADB Interface under Android Devices and MTP under Portable Devices. Sometimes tho the MTP entry will still show the Yellow Exclamation Point. But goes away. Don't know whats up with that either.
Also, it wont let me install drivers unless I am in MTP mode, which Usually you can install them regardless (tho I never tried in Camera mode, I am just assuming about that one) Usually I install drivers without MTP or Camera modes checked, but now if I try it, it says that Windows Cant find the Drivers, even tho I am obviously browsing for them myself and selecting them. And just now I tried updating instead of re-installing them, and it keeps saying that Windows has determined they are the most up to date.
So I am out of I ideas. I even updated windows media player cause that's what fixed my issue on Day 1 of running Windows 8.1 when it wouldn't recognize it at all. So I don't know. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to make sure I got everything in there so hopefully someone can narrow down what the issue is. Cause I've been at it for 3 hours, haven't slept yet, my Nexus 5 gets here today, and I need to get this fixed before I sell it to my buddy. Its brand new, only 15 days old.*
Any thoughts ?*
First, connect your Nexus 4 and use Device Manager to uninstall both MTP and ADB devices, make sure to check the box to delete the driver files as well. Then uninstall any other usb or adb drivers for other Android devices.
Then disable USB Debugging on the phone and get MTP to work first, Windows should be able to install it automatically.
For ADB, Windows 8 will not allow to install unsigned driver. To install unsigned driver, reboot Windows 8 into Advanced startup and press F7 at the menu to disable driver signature (Google it if you don't know how). Although you could install Google USB driver which is signed I think, I recommend using Universal Naked Driver (link in sig.)
ADB Devices, but says it's unauthorized

You need to authorize it from your phone, when you connect your phone to the PC with USB Debugging turned on, a toast message on the phone will ask you to authorize the device.

ok I am gonna try that now. And as far as the part about my phone being unauthorized. I already knew about the notification that pops up, i was waiting for it to happen. Never did tho. Maybe it will happen after I do the rest of what you said. thanks, i will post my results in a min
no matter what i do, i cant get MTP working. When i uninstall the ADB entry in Device Manager it gives me the check-box option for removing drivers as well, but not on MTP. And now it wont even give me the option to uninstall, update, or anything at all, even tho I uninstalled it already so it should at least give me the option to install drivers. Even tho it's showing up in Device Manager as a Portable device, if I look in Printers and Devices, it shows up as unspecified device. Disabled USB Debugging, and all that. it says its working but it wont show up in My Computer>Devices and Drives still. For some reason ever once in awhile it will pop up with the Yellow Exclamation Point tho, only for a brief second tho. other then that, its shows it like it's running correctly. Also, nothing pops up saying that windows is installing drivers when i plug it in. Which in Win 7, XP, etc, it always did. Does this not happen in Windows 8.1 ?
Also, under Driver Details, which is the only option it lets me click on MTP, it says the drivers are from 2006 lol
Update - Just reinstalled the drivers for ADB and enabled USB Debugging, and everything is still saying its working even tho its not. But when I take my phone out of MTP mode it shows up in device manager under "Other Devices" as Nexus4, with a Yellow Exclamation, and it gives me the option to update drivers, so i tried, but it says Windows Can't find my driver. This is very frustrating.
Had this problem aswell, which was caused by the N version of Windows 8 versions.
These versions dont have Windows Media Player istalled, which is needed for MTP to work.
So to fix your problem you need to download that latest Windows Media Player (WMP) from microsoft and install that.
I dont have the N version, I have WMP installed, i mentioend your fix in the OP. Had to update it, and it worked. It was working fine for the last few days, then it stopped working suddenly
double post, sorry. dont know why that happened.
Vouch. Since I use win8.1 (no n version) Mtp doesnt work. I tried all known drivers, disabled driver signature and so on. The only working combination for me is Usb Debugging + PTP. Then I use file manager to cut the files. Airdroid would be an alternative as well.
update - SOLVED * Kind of.....I say kind of cause I still don't know what caused it but apparently Flashing to the Nexus 5 Port fixed the issue lol. I am assuming something pertaining to the way USB connectivity is controlled by Android got corrupted, and a fresh install was in order. Whatever it was, it worked and i am back in business. thanks to all those who attempted to help.

trying to get some help for my ZE551ML 4gb - unrooted and with the latest update
I have never had an issue plugging my phone into my pc and transferring files. I bought my daughter a BLU R1HD and that wont wont show up on any pc when plugged into USB...yes dev and debug is enabled.....installed a bunch of different drivers to try to get that phone to work and it wont....
but worse is now my phone wont show up.
I went to the main thread here and located drivers and installed, and nothing....went to asus support and dl drivers and nothing...
does anyone know why or how i can get the drivers installed on my W10 PC so I can plug phone into usb and transfer files?
In the pc's device manager, is the device listed there? And is there a yellow mark on the device name? Maybe the drivers didn't install properly, you can right click on the device and click update driver, then choose automatically, you must be connect to the internet for it to find the required driver and install automatically.
I had same issue. Makw sure phone is not. Plugged into the pc. Load up windows into safe mode with networking. Once there open device manager. From the pulldown menu choose show hidden devices then find the Asus drivers and uninstall and if available tick the box that says delete the driver.. reboot, reinstall.... Done.
This will work for most usb devices that are having issues.

sadly this did not work. I grabbed the drivers from the ZF2 resource thread here at XDA
https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
for the BLU R1HD I was told to install these
https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers
whih i did and also uninstalled and resinstalled along with the intel drivers.
I did exactly as explained above and the device will not show up.
I have the Z00AD -- ZE551ML -- 4GB/2.3GHz 64gb version running Stock OS with NO ROOT - an its up to date (v 40.194)
I attached screen shot to show what I have going on - thanks
come on
Are you using the same cord for both phones with the computer? If so, try a different cord

Reboot the pc with the "disable driver signature verification" option and then reinstall the drivers.
This may or may not have some relevance to your problem. Try downloading a program called USB Device Viewer, run it as an administrator and uninstall all the phone drivers that are listed. Reboot your computer, plug your ZE551ML in and let it install the drivers. Hope this is of some help.
i finally fixed this bs problem. simply a matter of device manager >>>> portable devices >>>>> right click >>> update drive>>> browse my computer >>> Let me pick>>>
for me i had
Model
MTP Device
MTP USB Device
select MTP USB DEVICE >>> Click Next and done
how stupid is this? the simple solution after 2 weeks of pain in the ass is what makes this so stupid.
I tried a hell lot to install ASUS Zenphone adb drivers on my PC( on Windows 7, 8 and 10).
I got the same error everywhere. Error 10. Driver not installed properly.
I searched the Internet for hours without success.
I hope XDA community has some answers.
i got the same problem as you , my zenfone 5 detected as unknown device , i solved with adjusting usb when plug in to laptop like slowly inserting the usb to laptop port and keep adjusting untill its detected. weird dont know why its happen like that , all other phones that i've connect to my laptop detected with easy except for that zenfone 5.
Did you already download from Asus Official Website ? @ceomaverick
Try use this one.
Step:
1. Download and Extract the file from .ZIP
Link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500CL/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212.zip
2. Go to Device Manager, right click ' Asus Android ADB Interface '.
3. Update Driver Software, then choose ' Browse from My Computer for Driver Software'
4. Select Folder where you extract the .Zip file, check 'Include Subfolder' then klik 'Next'
5. Wait while system searching and installing the driver.

Hope it will help you.

OK, some progress here.
Find the Asus 8.0.0.2 drivers or the 8.0.0.3 ones.
Do the Add Legacy Hardware thing for the ADB Composite Interface -- it will install as "Code 10" not started.
Highlight that device and select update device...ask it to search windows online for the update.
In Win7 this will take a long time, in Win10 it will take just a second BUT be nicely hidden. Click View Optional Updates and then click Driver Updates and then select the ADB Composite interface.
In Win7 it completes quickly w/o reboot. In Win10 you have to reboot.
But with that, the ADB Composite Interface will function.
Now do the Add Legacy hardware thing for the Bootloader -- again, installs as Code 10
Put your phone into fastboot
Select the Bootloader device and do the update-from-windows thing.
Win7 does it directly, Win10 you have to navigate through the Update wizard as before
Now the fastboot interface is presented as working...
