Don't see Nexus7 on Eclipse Android devices

Question

Possible duplicate:
ADB does not recognize my Galaxy Nexus - Win7

I do not see my Nexus7 listed in Eclipse DDMS Devices.

DDMS and "adb devices" from the console show my G1 android phone, but not Nexus7.

Usb debugging is enabled on both phones, Eclipse is updated, as far as I can tell, Google Android SDK-USB-rev6

When I connected the N7 USB, I saw the installed Windows7 driver and could view the files on it from the file manager.

MTP / PTP does not matter (MTP drivers from Microsoft Update, no for PTP)

"Select application for debugging" is not displayed in the developer settings.

"Unknown sources" are marked.

Tried another Usb port, debugged Usb Debugging.

Answer 1

Here is what I did to make it work:

• I have already installed the ADB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, if you did not, you need to download them.

• Plug in the Nexus 7 and the windows will find 2 drivers automatically, but will not find for "Nexus"

• Go to Device Manager, in the "Other devices" section, you will see "Nexus" with a yellow exclamation mark, "Right Click"> "Upate Drivers"> "Let Me Choose." Let me choose a form device driver on my computer.

• Scroll down to “Android Phone SAMSUNG” (Again, Galaxy Nexus drivers should already be installed, if not, find them) and select the driver for the “Android ADB Interface”

• Click "Next" and the device should appear in Eclipse.

It worked for me, at least.

Answer 2

This is how I finally got it to work.

• Download the bare adb driver:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220

• Unzip it

• Open device manager

• Find Nexus 7 in portable devices

• Right-click and select "Update Driver Software"

• A couple of clicks and input allows you to enter the path for your driver, enter wherever you put the unzipped driver naked

• Now that the device is connected to it, it appears as an Android phone, which seems like we're getting somewhere.

• Reboot (I’m upset because I still don’t see my device in ADB DEVICES - it may not be necessary)

• Device Manager, right-click the Android Phone / Google Nexus 7 ADB interface, update the software driver.

• I selected the USB Composite device, but I don’t remember exactly how I can’t return to this screen

• ADB DEVICES shows my device right now! (Also Eclipse)

• When I go to the device manager, the driver for my connection 7 is the “Google Nexus 7 ADX Interface” provided by Google, Inc. dated 12/6/2010, version 4.0.0.0, and it is not digitally signed

Hope this helps someone, why doesn't ASUS have a downloadable driver on its website?

Answer 3

I spent a bit of time working with the Nexus 7 USB / debug. Between poor documentation and lack of feedback from Windows 7 drivers, I missed the finer points on the device. Enabling debugging features on the device itself is actually two modifications, not one:

Go to Settings → Developer Options

Turn on the developer’s settings as a whole by switching the button in the upper right corner, which allows you to use other settings on the page. I read the rest of the options and realized that I was finished.

Then enable the option "USB Debugging", the subtitle "Debug mode when connecting USB". If you do not enable this, your drivers will be registered, but they will never do anything or tell you why not ... i.e. Your device will not even be displayed when you run “adb devices”, t enable any of the standard USB file access options.

Answer 4

Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows? I have the same problem too, and I had success using the same device on a Macintosh.

My experience with drivers and 64-bit windows was hit or missed with the Nexus One.

Answer 5

Now the correct driver appears for installation on the [Android SDK] \ google-usb_driver instead of a simple usb_driver. I still have both directories, but once I pointed out the driver update on Google where it worked.

Answer 6

Use mac?

I have the exact same problem and spent hours trying to get this to work on my Windows 7 laptop, I came across Universal Naked Driver (0.7) and tried to use the driver installer in the Nexus Root Toolkit (1.5.2). There is no help. I also looked for an Asus for the driver (there is nothing but a guide). I also made sure that all my Android SDKs were updated.

When I try on a Mac, it appears! It still does not appear on my Windows 7 laptop using "adb devices" or in Eclipsed under DDMS. The nexus galaxy running on bean jelly looks great on a laptop.

Device Manager> Portable Devices> Nexus 7 Driver Properties>: Microsoft, 6/21/2006, 6.17600.16385

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone that works uses the Samsung driver.

Answer 7

I got it by downloading and running the root toolbox from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475), far enough to put the Nexus7 drivers in a directory that I could specify and "Update driver "for the" MTP device "manually. Similar to what user1023127 did below with Samsung-Nexus drivers, but I have not tested them.

Now we saw the asus-nexus device in Eclips / DDMS and were able to run the application on the tablet.

Answer 8

I can confirm the decision of HappyFunBall. Do not use automatic driver installation in the Nexus Root Toolkit; Follow step 4 of manual installation and stop.

Answer 9

I do not think you need drivers.

Do what I do:

Publish your application on your computer. Then, on Google Play, download the Bluetooth file transfer application (or any other file manager). Copy the application to a folder inside your link. Open Bluetooth File Transfer and click on your application. Finally, click “OK” to install.

You will need to do this until Asus releases the user interface.
