Problem:
My smartphone model (Lenovo Vibe B) doesn't have a official driver listed in the OEM USB Driver List (it has for Vibe C and other, I've tried the one for C, because phones are kind of similar but didn't work), so I can't use it in Android Studio to test my apps.
What I've tried
So my ADB is not recognized or, when I installed an ADB that was found on Device Manager, I got the error Code 10. Updated the drivers, reinstalled all USB drivers, ADB drivers, tried different software like LeTools, LenovoSmartAssistant, MagicPlus, something in chinese, an universal ADB from a developer named Koushik.
Tried different youtube tutorials... also read articles and tried them:android won't connect, installing adb driver - lenovo, how to fix code error 10
Also checked official documentation from Google,switched from MTP to PTP** and back to MTP,tried even MIDI
Still my device isn't visible in Android Studio and in Device Manacer is marked with an exclamation sign, or now it's not visible at all.
I mention that I also accept a solution in which I can install my app created on Android studio on the phone and test it without Android Studio. I need to do that because I'll work on an app that requires to be tested few month's, in order to have a database to predict a future behaviour.
Thank you in advance for your help provided!
For Android Development using the real device you need a tool called Wondershare MobileGo. Its a pcsuit app for Android and ios.
I am using it for 2 years and its the only final solution for all ADB related issues.It contains all type of ADB drivers of android devices currently on market.
You only have to use it once to get the ADB driver installed according to your device model and you can remove it from your pc after that.

I am using the latest version of Android Studio(2.1.2) at the time of writing this post . The problem that I am experiencing is that the ADB instance used by Android Studio doesn't seem to be able to find my Galaxy Core Prime device (SM-G361F, stock Android version - 5.1.1). It can connect to an emulator just fine.
What I had tried (most of these multiple times):
enabling/disabling developer options
enabling/disabling USB debugging
revoking USB debugging authorization
changing MTP to PTP and vice versa (my device doesn't allow deselecting both options, one must be chosen)
reinstalling the drivers
powering on and off both the phone and the PC
installing Samsung's Smart Switch software
using different USB ports
trying out different Android Studio versions (x86 and x64 with the latest respective JDKs)
This is what it looks like in Android Studio:
I had installed the official Samsung's USB drivers from here.
This is what the Device Manager is showing (Windows 7 64-bit SP1):
Afterwards, I've also tried installing the Universal USB drivers from here.
This is what firing up its installation of ADB looks like:
It has obviously successfully found the device.
My device also politely prompted me to allow the PC to connect to it using a generated RSA key which never happened with Android Studio.
The only thing I've not tried is installing Samsung's Kies software.
I really don't know what is the problem here.
Maybe I should just give up and instead use the emulator but it is a damn shame not to be able to debug on an actual physical device, if you ask me.
Thank you in advance.
Android in general does not support all phones for a debug connection. I have a samsung s6 and for me that works. I don't know about the Core Prime though. However, in most cases(in my experience):
The phone does not support the connection
You did not install all the required files in terms of the android SDK you might have not gotten the latest update that supports more phones
The OS is not supported - Mainly caused because Samsung and a lot of other brands insist on having their own updates. And some times they - on purpose or by accident - forget to support USB debugging for developers.
My tablet did not support the USB debugging connection untill it reached android 6.
The cable is a charge-only cable (yes, those exist for some reason). Try with a different cable
You don't have the necessary drivers. Make sure they're installed
It might be circumstantial that your phone model does not support the connection for some reason, but it is really hard to tell. The only way to get proper help is to contact Samsung customer support, but in my experience it is just a waste of time. They don't know their own products. If you try with another device it might work.
After some continued tinkering I managed to get Android Studio to recognize my device. All I did was adding the path to the ClockworkMod's ADB .exe to the PATH environment variable. That seems to have done the trick as Android Studio now allows me to run the application on my device even though it is still running its own instance of ADB (located in the platform-tools folder).
It might be completely unrelated but I'm not considering undoing the modification made to the environment variable.
Here is the proof:
I have recently bought a HTC Nexus 9 tablet for the purpose of USB debugging in Android Studio. This process works on other computers at university but I cannot get it to work properly from my home system,which is what I require. I have tried every single suggestion I have came across online but none have actually worked.
Steps Tried:
Downloading the latest google USB Driver
Installing it through Android Studio and Manually in device manager
Tried ADB Interface Driver and ADB Composite Interface Driver
Configuring driver inf file by adding hardware ID's
Ensuring usb debugging is enabled on the device
Using different USB ports,3 different cables
Tried connecting in PTP mode,MTP mode,charging only mode
Rebooted device and computer
Re installed android studio
No matter what I do,the device wont be shown in android studio or ADB.exe(under list all devices in terminal,also tried start and kill server). I am officially out of ideas,if anyone could figure this out I would be forever grateful!
I have attached some images of some of the things I have tried without success. Once driver has been installed it is listed as "Android Composite ADB Interface" or "Android ADB Interface". Operating system is Windows 7 64-bit

Download HTC PC suite from following link ,install and give a try

I personally have had many issues with setting things up for Android. Things you should ensure you do include;
Ensure you obtain the appropriate packages in the SDK manager - for example, I wasn't able to make logcat work when debugging with my phone until I downloaded the files for my specific version of Android (so the API files for a Nexus 9).
I believe you may also have to download drivers for your actual phone to allow connection - you should be able to download this from the HTC website. This might be what you need, although I haven't checked it out, and I cant find where I downloaded my drivers from;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
In general, you want to download lots of things from the SDK manager as you'll need them anyway, so don't hold back on just downloading them.
For those (like me) who is still concerned with this issue. You need to go to win+pause break ->Device Manager->Find "AdbInterface" with exclamation sign->Update driver->Search manually->Specify USB driver downloaded from SDK and enjoy: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Eclipse isn't recognizing neither of my two Android phones.
I've tried updating all of the Android SDKs in eclipse as well as eclipse itself.
Both of my phones are being recognized by my Macbook and Android File Transfer works like a charm.
They are both in Developer mode with Debug turned on.
I've also tried connecting them in both MTP and PTP but eclipse still won't recognize my phones.
I get the RSA fingerprint pop-up and I press OK but nothing happens.
What could be the problem? I don't know what else to do.
Edit: Eclipse used to work the last time I used it to run Android apps (which was about three-four months ago). Now, it won't recognize my phones. Also, you can't install drivers on the Mac. According to Google, it is just supposed to work.
Edit: This is what I get for the adb devices.
Marcos-MBP:platform-tools Poloe$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
Found out the problem.
Turned out it was this.
adb devices list empty -- Snow Leopard
My phones weren't being recognized because I had EasyTether installed on my phones and on my Macbook.
According to the EasyTether website:
ADB on Mac OS X stops recognizing the attached device after installing EasyTether driver
Do not follow this advice if you are not a software developer who uses the Android SDK on Mac. Otherwise run "sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext" to unload the EasyTether driver manually. Load it again with kextload when necessary.
I am trying to work with Android development, but I cannot get any android device to work with Eclipse. I try manually checking the devices in the command line by calling ADB devices, and it shows no connected devices.
I have tried with both a Galaxy Note and an Android phone and neither are recognized. I have all the device drivers installed and USB debugging turned on for each of the devices.
Is it possible that I do not have something configured correctly with my initial install of eclipse or the android tools, or perhaps need to download more software from the SDK?
I have read through many other questions but they are specific to a type of device not working, my issue is that no devices are being recognized.
Thanks.
Are you sure that your device drivers are correctly installed?
Your device must be visible in device manager in Portable Devices category or something like that.
You can download drivers for Samsung devices here : http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
I solved the issue. The phone worked after doing a manual update for the abd so going to the command line where it was located and doing abd update.
The tablet was a different issue, apparently it needed samsung kies to be installed to communicate with the device.
So everything is working now.
This is not a duplicate post. I have searched and read extensively and none of the solutions I've come across have been successful.
Win 7 64 bit
LG Spectrum II running build VS93022A (Android 4.1.2)
Eclipse version...from the SDK as downloaded on 09/07/13...so, the latest
I did install the actual vendor drivers for my device, not just using the default from Windows that kick in when you first connect it. I can view the device and SD card contents via windows explorer. It is by any criteria clearly and correctly connected to my computer.
Allow USB debugging is checked on the device. The USB connection mode is "Media sync (MTP)".
Used "adb devices" from command line and it lists no devices.
Restarted everything multiple times.
The selected minimum Android version for the project is Gingerbread. My device, as stated above, is running the absolute most recent Android build available (updated itself two nights ago, actually).
The device still does not show up. Any ideas?
edit: The advice found here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver
cannot be follow because it is incorrect. In Device Manager, there is no entry under Portable Devices (where my phone appears) which reads "Android Composite ADB Interface."
On a side note, is all of the Android developer documentation this terrible?
I had the same problem with my device. To solve it I plugged it in with usb debugging unchecked then checked it. A notification came up on the phone saying "allow this computers RSA?" or something similar and then it worked.
Something I just came across after I had installed iTunes on my PC (previously I was able to debug over USB, then it stopped working). Go to Services and stop "Apple Mobile Device Service" as it interferes with the USB for Android debugging.
