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

I am new to android development and am trying to run a test app on my android phone. But it will not detect my device when I click "run". I have tried to go through the OEM USB driver installation but it always says "Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already installed. There may be better drivers on Windows Update or on the device manufacturer's website." When I unclick "Include subfolders" it says "The location you specified does not contain any driver package (.INF) files." I have tried other methods through device manager of installing OEM USB driver software, both selecting the directory C:\Users\My name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\usb_driver and the one where I installed the samsung usb driver. I have been attempting to follow this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb which is where android studio sent me.
Lets try the most obvious one. Have you enabled usb debugging on your phone yet? When I was starting android this has happened to me. If not enable it through your phone's Settings> Developer Options> Usb Debugging.
If the Developer options is not yet shown, tap the Build Number seven times to show it.
Build number is mostly found on About> Software Information.
You need to enable USB debugging in your device too, refer this link for process https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
I have searched all over and tried many things to get adb to recognize that my Astro Tab A724 is a connected device. Some of the things I have tried are:Google Android USB Driver and ADB and Android ADB doesn't see device . In the device manager, when I right click on my device and choose "Update Drive Software...", Windows 10 is unable to find the software for my tablet. Anyone, please help me. :)
Also, adb works for another device I have, but I now need to test my app on the Astro Tab. I have also gone to http://astroqueo.com/ in search of a support page that will tell me about drivers I need, but I am unable to find anything on their site.
Since it appears your real goal is to get your A724 working with ADB, I can tell you it does work. I own both the Astro Tab A724 and A924. I use the A724 with Android Studio for testing Android apps and ADB works fine for me.
When I first purchased these devices off Amazon, I was sent some additional instruction from the manufacturer via Amazon. A link was provided with detailed instructions. To get your A724 working on ADB for Android Studio (in Windows 10):
Step 1: Follow manufacturers instructions to update firmware here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gvwxt2kk7kl72i9/A724%20-%20Instructions%20on%20Updating%20Firmware.docx?dl=0 .
Step 2: Setup your device to enable developer options (go to "Settings->About Tablet", tap "Build number" five times, then go to "Settings->Developer options", and configure per your needs).
When everything is configured correctly:
In Android Studio (currently 2.1.1 for me) when you go to run your app, the device will show up in the "Select Deployment Target" window under the "Connected Devices" section as "Actions AstroTab_A724 (Android 5.0.2, API 21)".
Hope this helps!
It turns out that the Astro Tab does not have any USB drivers in existence.
It worked for my Astro Tab A737
Download and install PdaNet+ from http://pdanet.co/a/ in your syatem. Run and and install it. follow all the steps in the wizard . Once the drivers are installed Android studio should recognize the tablet.
Also, make sure the device is in PTP mode.
I am following the guide on http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html for installing driver software so I can run applications on my actual Nexus 7. I got to this step in the directions(ironic cause its also step 7)
7.Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.)
I tried doing the following
However when I hit browse, I got a dialog prompt saying "Windows could not find driver software for your device". The Android documentation stated that "The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver\". When I navigated into \extras\google, this is all i saw
Is there anyway I could download the usb_driver directory manually? The sdk came along with the Android Studio download. I don't know why that usb_driver directory isn't there.
The issue was that I jumped ahead and skipped the most important step, downloading the Google USB Driver......
After installing the Google USB Driver package, Go to Device manager and search for your connected android phone and give the following path for android driver.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
But by me, after downloading the SDK Tools/Google USB drive (not "Extra" anymore), when I try to update the driver (from device manager: Portable Devices/Galaxy J7 Nxt) it says: the best drivers for your device are already installed.
windows 10 / android 6 marshmalow installed.
phone: android J7 Nxt
driver installed: SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device
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?
Here is the link :

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 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.
