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.
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,
Go to Computer Management , then Device Manager
Locate your device...
Right-click, and Uninstall... (make sure your device is unplugged)
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!
Long story short: downloaded DROID and HTC Hero USB drivers, installed them. Now its all good.
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.

I have a Huawei U8815 and its not getting recognized on Windows by the Android Studio, I already changed MTP to PTP and didn't worked, but on Mac it works.
And I have a Nexus-7 and it works on both.
You need to install USB drivers for the device before it can appear in Android Studio. To confirm that the reasons missing drivers, open device manager You would find an entry that requires drivers with a yellow alert/warning icon, something similar to the image below but not exactly this.
Now Install the appropriate USB/ADB driver for the device. Once driver is installed you can view the device in Android studio.
You may either download the drivers from this link or Install HiSuite to get the drivers installed.
You need to download official drivers of the device..and then you are done :) cheers
Installed Android Studio and tried to launch an app. I can choose from different emulator, but I can't find my phone. I have connected it to my computer, enabled debugging in Developer Options, and I have tried to update the drivers from device manager in Windows, but Windows keep saying the best drivers are already installed. Anyone else had this problem? Really appreciate a solution.
Install the phone ADB to your pc from the internet, then from the device manager update the driver using the files you downloaded from the previous step, enjoy!
You can read more from this link USB Drivers
This worked for me:

You have to update "android device"-driver manually in the windows device manager.
Previously I have been using Windows 8.1 and Android Studio to develop Android apps and all was well. However I have now just upgraded to Windows 10 and I am having a Slight Issue.
I have a Nexus 7 that I am using to debug, and Android Studio can no longer see this device to use it. As I said all was well in Windows 8.1.
Has anyone else come across this, and have you managed to get round it? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks again
Steve
Got exactly the same issue. Steps to fix that.
#1 Uninstall driver
#2 Unplug device and restart pc
#3 Plug device and install driver downloaded from the web not from device
A day looking for a solution of the same problem like you.
I use a Sony C4 and Android Studio on Windows 10,
my problem of my phone is not detected in Windows 10.
You can check in MyComputer> Properties> Device Manager.
The first step
I downloaded OEM USB Drivers for my phone, see the list of OEM Drivers url
create a directory "usb_driver" in <.sdk.>\extras\google\
<.sdk.> = C:\Users\Karebet\AppData\Local\Android\SDK\
I extract OEM USB Drivers then copy paste to <.sdk.>\extras\google\usb_driver\
The second step
I not download from the SDK but from Google USB Driver
I extract the Google USB Drivers then copy paste to <.sdk.>\extras\google\usb_driver\
not include directory "amd64" and "i386"
Third step
Right-click MyComputer> Properties> Device Manager
check whether there is a device not in the know in Others Device
if there: right-click> Properties> Tab "Driver"> Update Driver> Browser my computer blabla > select dir usb_driver in <.sdk.>\extras\google\,
and click OK . wait a while Driver has been detected
Hope it helps you
I tried to install a Google USB driver (sdk\extras\google\usb_driver) using Device Manager, but it said "Windows was unable to install your USB Composite Device".
I use this universal ADB driver pack (from Koush.com)

I am running windows 7 and have a Galaxy Tab 4 with Wifi only. I just switched from a different computer to this one, both using Android Studio. My tablet was recognized on the other computer through the ABD, but not the new computer. I have installed the Google Nexus Drivers, the samsung driver, the JDK, and the android SDK. The only thing I have not installed are the Samsung API's because I don't believe that I need them and don't think that they would help. I have switched the Media mode from MTP to PTP several times. Anybody know how to make this work?
*I have search through all of the questions and answers here and I have not found a solution that works.
Installing the driver from
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P7510MAVXAB
worked for me. Now I can use a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android Studio. It is recognized as a running device when you open the "Choose Device" Dialog.
Also, I enabled Developer Options and USB Debugging. (#Zhuinden pointed that out.)
You need to install the drivers:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Android-USB-Driver-for-Windows;jsessionid=0kzbJL5LhpN4RTpv19GPC1sBJ5GxPsfnpj8wFNXt37hNmx780XRR!1627734913
And you also need to enable Developer options, and USB Debugging.
What I also tend to do is download the naked drivers from XDA-Developers,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339
and use pnputil -i -a winusb.inf to install it.
I'm asking the question here and not in AskUbuntu because I hope I'll find some Android developers that have already had this problem.
I use "Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS-Linux 2.6.32-45-generic x86_64" running on WMWare Player 5.0.1 running on Windows7 64bit.
The problem I have is that when I plug my Android device I get the error "The connection for the USB device was unsuccessful. Driver error".
The driver on Windows is installed and it works. I can debug on Windows.
The lsusbcommand does not list the attached device.
I googled it and I found that maybe the problem is that VMWare player does not support USB3 yet. I did not find a way around this problem. I tried to uninstall the USB3 driver but the result was that the USB port stopped working. Did someone manage to fix it?
A lot of times this can be caused by not having drivers for your device, as well as the usb drivers from your sdk manager. Im using windows it sounds like a similiar problem I had. Also if you can run a command prompt from the folder cotaining your adb.exe file try typing "adb devices" to see if you see your device
As far as I could see so far the only available solutions are:
1) Go back to an older machine with no USB3
2) Use a newer machine with Windows8 (it supports the drivers supported by VMWare)
3) Install the new Intel drivers if they are compatible with your machine.
