adb can't find Galaxy S3 Android 4.3

Question

I update android version of my Galaxy S3 to Android 4.3.

I have activated the developer mode by clicking Build Number and also checked in USB Debugging. I am using Windows 7 and Android Studio.

I have gone through various answer addressing same problem but none of them helped.

How can I install application directly to my device or debug using adb etc.

Answer 1

Go into device manager and uninstalled SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device and ensured to check the box 'delete driver software'. Now the device will have a exclamiation mark etc ..i right click and installed the driver again (refresh copy) ...this finally made the adb acknowledge my phone as an emulator.

you need to check whether your adb software is correctly install or not, you can download adb installer from http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ run it as a administrator and install adb driver.

Answer 4

For me, the only thing that worked was to install the latest android adt bundle from here.

Once I connected my phone via USB, I was prompted to allow for debugging mode.
