Unable to install Android USB driver on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2390388

Question

Unlike some others, my Android SDK setup went smoothly on my new Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. However, I am currently hung up on installing the android usb drivers. What is the current state of this issue? There has been some discussion of this problem on the web but no consensus is immediately apparent.

Was it helpful?

Long story short: downloaded DROID and HTC Hero USB drivers, installed them. Now its all good.

OTHER TIPS

The Android USB driver page for Windows is very misleading, IMHO. It doesn't mention that it doesn't work for all Android devices. It turns out that for certain devices you need to go to the manufacturer's website for the USB drivers, NOT use the generic Android USB driver.

For example, in my case the generic Android USB driver would not work for my Sony Ericsson X10a. I forget the exact error message, but the Windows Device Manager would not recognize the driver software as being valid for the device. But after I downloaded the X10a USB driver from the Sony Ericsson developer website, the Windows Device Manager was happy with it. Then I was able to install my Android development apps on the device and debug via Eclipse/DDMS.

BTW, I too am using 64-bit Windows 7 (which is not the real source of the problem).

I had the same problem - with OEM drives and Android SDK drivers too. Finally what helped me was: Device Manager - Update Drives Software - Browse my computer for driver software - Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer - Have Disk - Browse for file android_winusb.inf (in sdk folder) - Android ADB

Windows was not able to find drives in folder automatically :-/

I hope it helps to someone...

I tried all this solutions but nothing worked. Finally i found that i need to connect my device as camera and not as media device in phone under "USB PC Connection" in settings and i got it worked. But really it is a long struggle... :) For more details, see this link..

I hope this will help someone with the same problem.

Tried this driver from Intel (after checking all kind of drivers (asus, google, samsung kies etc). https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

and it worked like a charm (after unplugging and replugging the usb from my Nexus 7 and enabling MTP)

The Android Drivers Installation has download package and installation instruction.

If you have installed the driver and it doesn't load... you can try this : In windows 7,

  1. Go to Computer Management , then Device Manager
  2. Locate your device...
  3. Right-click, and Uninstall... (make sure your device is unplugged)
  4. Then Reinstall it again. (run the driver setup)

This works for me.

Try the above link. its an Universal Android USB Driver. Worked on windows 7!

Softpedia's Galaxy S USB Driver worked on win7 x64 for me. Galaxy S Phones. Vibrant / Captivate

just install the oem android driver. pretty simple to do. unless if they dont have one you have to do it manually.
