I recently bought a tablet from a company, in order to test my Unity3d games in a real android device. The problem is, the company did not provide the android USB windows drive to be installed and if Im not wrong it is necessary to make the debugging process work (please correct me if Im wrong). After some calls and emails for the technical support of this company, they provided me with files, which they are saying it`s what I need.
I have no idea of what to do with these files. Actually I`m thinking they are being dishonest with me and just gave me some random files. So if someone here could just check these files and see if they are actually drive files, or something else.
Just to be clear, I trying to get this drive because, when plug my tablet in my computer (with debugging mode enabled), and check in the Devices and Printers, I see a device called android, with no drive installation and information. Unity3d also can`t find any eligible android devices plugged on my computer.
I also already tried to install manually this “drive” they gave me using the UpdateDrive option, search for a drive in a computer folder.
If these are real drive files, could someone explain me how to install it on my windows 8?

Thanks.
Try to open the SDK manager and select "Google USB Driver" to install.
I run at the same problem with a prototype device, the company give the drivers to me and even I can install it, the SDK don't recignize the device in debug mode.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
EDIT:
Even the Google says that the "Google USB Drivers" is for Nexus devices, it solved my problem with a Honeywell device.
EDIT2:
Can you post the file extensions if this doesn't work?
There is a .inf file?
If yes, you can install it just opening the 'Device Manager' in System properties (Win + Pause/Break) -> Select the usb device, double click on it -> Select update the driver -> select to install from disk -> select the .inf file.
If you can plug into a Linux then do lsusb in a linux terminal. Take that code and search the Internet. Might be the tablet you bought uses a common chipset and you can install the android driver from another vendor. You need the drivers based on the manufacturer. E.g. to debug with Android for samsung then install their Kies, for Motorola then their android drivers. Note, "Android drivers" is in addition to the regular usb driver than lets the phone show up as a disk drive.

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
Device on first plug in
Picking a driver
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
I got a new Gingerbread phone to try to develop on, but Eclipse won't recognize it.
I put it into debug mode already.
The Win7 Device Manager shows a problem with 4 Qualcomm HSUSB devices, this is certainly related to the phone.
Windows update is unable to find any updates for it.
I couldn't find any drivers support downloads from BLU either.
About the phone:
Andriod version: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.38.6-perf
Hardware version: A5.V1.2
Build number: BLU_D170_v03_GENERIC
Did you try using the Google USB driver?
For me, in device manager, I had an unknown device listed as "Android device" with a yellow exclamation point over it. Right click it, then choose update driver software. Then choose browse my computer, then choose let me pick from a list of devices...
Then click the Have disk button, and point it to the google usb driver (this should be downloaded via the SDK manager). It will be in the folder where your SDK stuff gets downloaded in the /extras/google/usb_driver folder. When browsing, select the inf file in this folder.
You should get three options that pop up, choose Android ADB Interface. It will then install the generic usb driver so you can connect your phone to ADB.
Note: I have the BLU Dash 4.0, but the driver should work on just about any android device.
First of all, are you able to transfer data to the phone normally? If you can, don't bother with the second part below.
If you can't transfer data, look at this second part. When you bought the phone, did it come with a driver disc? If it did, install the drivers from there. If it did not, try checking the official manufacturer site to see if there's a driver online.
I managed to make contact with BLU service, and they e-Mailed me a driver that only works on 32-bit Win7, not 64-bit :-(
I figured out that I can still test my apps on my DASH 3.5 by uploading the .apk file to a webserver & using the phone to browse to that link. Android will recognize that .apk is an app file it can install. So you could also distribute your own apps to anyone this way, without using any of the Android stores|markets at all.
I've got a Disgo 8100 tablet which I would like to test an app on but I'm having problems doing anything with it. I'm new to Android development but I've got 2 phones setup and connected and working with Eclipse. The Disgo is running 2.3.3 but there is no USB debugging option under Settings -> Applications and when I connect the device to the USB all I get is a drive mounted and no device listed in adb. Device manager also shows a disk rather than a device so I can't update the driver.
What can I do to get this working?
If the device has an option to allow installation of non market applications, then you can select this.
Once that is done, creat an apk for your app in eclipse, then when the device is mounted
as a drive, just transfer the apk file to the device in a tmp folder.
Once you have done this, you need to locate the file on the device (using a file explorer such as astro), and run it.
This will install the app onto the device, although you wont be able to debug, you will be able to see if the app runs ok.
Hope this helps..
Firstly you need to look deepper in settings, may be USB debugging option on in App. section. For example on my Galaxy S2 ICS it's in Development section.
After it you should install drivers for your device
The device manager shows that i have no drive for nexus one (it shows a yellow question mark).
Therefore, windows doesnt identify nexus one..even though i can open the folder of the android when i connect the device..
Even HTC Sync application says that no devices is conencted, even thought the device is connected to the pc.
What do i do?
ps. all the settings on android were taken care of..application debuggable mode and allow unknown applications are ticked. The SDK manager is fully updated!!!
UPDATE:
I go to the device manager and tell it to look for the driver here:
D:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
Thats what the android developer tells me to do:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#WinXp
It didnt work..cause i havent got the folder:
<sdk>\google-usb_driver\.
The guide tells me:
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\google-usb_driver\.)
Where is teh usb driver that was installed by the sdk manager?
you have to install the driver for you phone ! for the nexus one the driver can be downloaded form the SDK Manager, in the Available packages under Third party addons/Google inc/Google USB Driver Package
My environment is: windows xp sp3, eclipse, all available software installed using SDK Manager.
Following Android developer site's guide, I could write and run hello world app on Android 2.3 emulator. Then I wanted to see if I could run my app on a real device - vodafone 845 (huawei U8120?) in my case. Here I stuck for two days now trying to install windows usb driver for my device. When I connect my device through usb with Debug setting On, windows keeps to ackowledge it as usb mass storage. On Device Manager, I tried Update Driver, selected C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver\android_winusb.inf file. it complained like:
"The specified location does not contain information about your hardware"
It's probably because of missing manufacturer/product information (VID_12D1&PID_1031) in inf file, right?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html site lists supported devices and says that any additional devices will require Windows drivers provided by the hardware manufacturer but so far I couldn't any information.
I guess many developers are facing this issue with their own devices that is not supported by Android SDK and I wonder how they overcome this issue - especially for vodafone 845 device.
Thanks in advance

This thread states that the USB drivers are included on the phone. Once the phone is connected as a USB mass storage device, browse the contents and look for the driver installer. If you have deleted it or are using a custom ROM you may need to search for the drivers on google.
PS This isn't really a hardware support site.
Yes this works like charm. Everything is located on the sd card. There are some weird things though:
- You can't to choose, if you want to mount the your phone as storage, on other phones you can.
- For us the install did not work at first, only the second time.
