ADB doesn't recognize my Galaxy Nexus - Win7

Question

I just bought a Galaxy Nexus, now I got a problem, my ADB doesn't recognize it. The Point is when I connect it, it shows it as Storage-Device on my Computer but it isn't listed as an ADB Device.

When I connect my other Phone (HTC Desire HD) it recognize it without any problems.

Some information about the System and Config:

1. I'm on Win7 Service Pack 1 64bit
2. Galaxy Nexus is in debugging mode
3. The Device isn't shown in ADB but Windows recognize it as Massstoragedevice
4. Eclipse and Googlepack is updated to the newest Version

Answer 1

you may try this: go to settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging(check it if it's not )

Answer 2

Check if you have installed this package in your ADB "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"; if not do it.

Another possible solution could be downloading the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW

This appears to work for the Samsung GT-i9250 version too.

Answer 3

I had this problem with the new nexus 10, theses two articles helped me, perhaps obvious but...

Update drivers through SDK manager: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Set up the device on various platforms: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

Hope this helps someone!

Answer 4

The drivers for the US Galaxy Nexus (SCH-I515) do work with the European version (GT-I9250M), but you must use a USB 2.0 port. I spent a very frustrating hour trying to understand why the phone wasn't recognized before I tried a different port and everything worked. Only difference, the initial port was USB and the second USB 2.0.

Answer 5

If you have previously installed the ADB Driver for the Nexus ("Google USB Driver package, revision 4"+) you may have to manually reinstall it.

The driver is located here:

android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

Simply follow your os (in Windows Device Manager -> Update driver -> Have Disc -> "Android ADB Interface"

Answer 6

Go to Root access in Settings->Devleopment options. Select APPs and ADB.
