How to install tablet S as an ADB device?

Question

I need to install Sony Tablet S as an ADB device so that I can debug it.

I did, as explained here, http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=878

but still it does not appear as an ADB device. On the other hand, in the device manager, it appears in portable devices / Sony Tablet S as an MTP device. If I remove it and reconnect, it will be automatically installed as an MTP device.

Any idea how I can separate it from the MTP device and associate it with ADB?

Thanks!

ps if I use the update driver ... I have a disk and point to android_winusb.inf, it will say: "There is no compatible driver software in the folder ..."

Answer 1

I experienced the same after completing the steps below the link as indicated in the question,

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=878

But then I fixed it as follows:

• You should see the Sony tablet in the Other Devices section of Device Manager .

• Make sure adb is killed. (there is no "adb.exe" process in the task manager)

• Double-click “Sony Tablet” in the device manager.

And follow the steps in the following windows.

• Click "Reinstall Driver"
• No, not this time → Next
  
• Set from a list or specific location → Next
  
• Click "Include this location in this search."
  
• Go to this path on your computer, Android SDK-windows \ Extras \ Google \ usb_driver
• Click "Next"

It will detect the “Android Composite ADB Interface” and the drivers will be installed.

At the command line, check adb devices , you should see the specified device.

Have you checked it:

settings ==> applications ==> USB debugging?

Answer 3

try to open the Android sdk manager and check the Google USB Driver.install checkbox and try to check if your device is recognized on adb

Answer 4

I know that the stream is a little old, but my device was recognized as MTP, on windows 8 x64. it worked only after manually specifying the .inf file and selecting "Android ADB Interface"

Answer 5

Use the automatic ADB driver installer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488822

(You will need to follow the instructions in the README.txt file to force it to be installed as a composite ADB interface.)

Answer 6

If you are using the 64-bit version of Windows 8.x, you need to disable the "Driver Signature Verification" in addition to those listed in Vijay C. Otherwise, Windows will display an error message stating that the driver is invalid or was tampered with .

Instructions on how to disable driver signature verification can be found here: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so- that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers /

Answer 7

I had the same problem and solved these steps.

If you are not working with Vijay C answer:

1 - Go to the device manager. 2 - Select a tablet. 3 - Right-click and update the software. 4 - When updating, click "Allow selection from the list of device drivers on my computer" 5 - Select "ADB Testing Interface Driver ..."
