I have tried installing the Samsung Captivate Drivers, but ADB does not see them. I have got the google adb drivers in sdk directory but everytime i try to install this driver it says that Windows think I have the best driver for the device. It keeps the MTB driver. I have tried uninstalling but MTB driver keeps coming back. I am trying to get the debug bridge to work to a Samsung Captivate. adb devices shows nothing.
try to use Samsung Kies. It has samsung drivers with in.
you can find it here :

works fine for me with the Samsung i5700 on Win7 x64
Installing Samsung New PC Studio worked for my Samsung Fascinate. You get a bit more than just drivers, but it worked.
It is just a matter of installing the Samsung Captivate Drivers. (Some people have to reinstall them several times) and then just making sure that USB is definitely set for debugging. This should work. The Android application itself needs also to be enabled for debugging android:debuggable="true" in the Android-Manifest. This is what it needs. Note this is how to get ADB working so that if you type adb devices you will see the Samsung device. Kies is an option for file sharing.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I would like to deploy my app to using eclipse. However the device simply does not appear on the list of devices to deploy to.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
The phone appears as a drive when plugged in, allowing me to transfer files to and from the device.
The phone has developer mode and USB debugging switched on.
In the Android SDK Manager, the Google USB Driver appears as installed.
I have manually installed the usb driver located at \extras\google\usb_driver\.
This same device has been recognised and deployed to on other computers.
I have tried restarting the adb server in command prompt using adb kill-server and then typing adb start-server.
I have tried restarting both the phone and the computer.
My deployment screen simply thinks there is no android device:
Any ideas? Is there perhaps something I am missing here that is required for my android device to be properly recognised by eclipse?
First, is your device id showing up when you use adb devices
If it is, it's just a matter of restarting eclipse. Another cause could be that you're using the Google USB driver, whereas you should be using Samsung's Android USB driver, which can be found here:

Get the drivers for your Galaxy S4 here:

P.S. ya better got Nexus 5
You should install Samsung KIES, that have included some USB Drivers and something more, then you will able the possibility to eclipse sdk recognize your Phone, i was with the same problem, after i installed KIES everything worked fine, trust me.
KIES Download:

Is there something special I have to do to get adb to recognize my phone and tablet?
I turned on developer mode, but when I do "adb devices" I still only get the emulator or nothing at all if there's no emulator running.
Thanks!
In case you are working under Windows, try to install Samsung USB Driver for Windows .. it should be enough ;-)
I Google'd a bit more and found that if you install Samsung Kies then adb starts recognizing Samsung products. =]
I'm trying to test an Android Application on my Galaxy Nexus (from Google). I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
My device doesn't show in Eclipse DDMS view. My device also doesn't show when I run adb devices in cmd.
I have USB debugging enabled.
When I try to install the USB driver as shown here I get a message that my device software is up to date.
I also tried killing the adb server and starting it again.
Give the Universal Naked Driver a try? Be sure to follow the steps in the forum post.
Nexus devices require the Google USB Drivers, you can get them through the SDK Manager.
If you have them installed and the device still is not detected try the following:
Use a different USB port (for me the USB 3.0 port is always making problems)
Restart the device and the computer
Restart ADB
Also take a look here, which explains how to install drivers for the Nexus S.
I had a similar problem. I could not get my device to show up in my Eclipse devices window. When I typed adb devices, no devices were discovered. Fortunately, I discovered this website. It basically had me install a generic driver for my Motorola (Android 2). It had other drivers for Samsung and other manufacturers. After the install, my Motorola phone became visible with ADB.
I have been developing in Android for approximately two months now. Yesterday, my eclipse starting giving me the error:
The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured.
You must restart adb and Eclipse.
Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'C:\android-sdks\platform-tools\adb.exe' and can be executed.
So I followed the steps for restarting adb located here.
Eclipse now gives me:
Android Launch!
adb is running normally.
My phones, however, are not being detected. I have a Galaxy S2 running Android 2.3.4 stock, and a S2 rooted running 4.0.3. Neither are being detected. On my home pc, both work fine in eclipse.
I have tried restarting my laptop, and even tried killing adb and eclipse and retrying the steps above. But it still won't detect my phones. My emulators are working fine. It is worth noting that the severe error has occurred seems to come back when I restart my laptop.
Install the Device driver provided by samsung in your laptop.
You can install Samsung kies it also installs the device driver
Install driver for your device if you already have driver means try to update your driver manually.
Are you using the samsung usb cable? try to use a non-Samsung one, I had a very similar issue and it worked for me.
I just bought the Nexus S with the android version 2.3.3, which I update it to 2.3.4. I use to develop my android apps in my Mac but when i tried to connect my new Nexus S with the ADB it wasn't recognized. Though the ADB worked pretty well with pass android devices.
Moreover, I connected my Nexus S with the ADB under my Linux machine and then worked as a charm.
Any suggestions on how to make the nexus s be recognized to the ADB of my Mac?
Thx in advance!
As far as I know, the "Usb Driver Package" is for Windows only.
Did you tried to download and use the newest SDK/ADB from http://developer.android.com ?
I had some problems too these days, but after rebooting my phone and reenabling the debug mode ADB worked again.
