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

I just wasted a couple of hours reanimating my Galaxy Nexus.

I was able to access its data. Though, it did not show up as a correctly working adb device. Furthermore, in the device manager, the "Galaxy Nexus" was listet under "Other devices" and no valid driver was found.

I am not really sure what helped in the end BUT: Try wipe the authorized computers on the phone: Developer Options > Authorizations for USB-Debugging.

Answer 2

try to do this - go to Phone SETTINGS, STORAGE, tap the menu (the three dots in top -right corner, select USB COMPUTER CONNECTION and in the menu select MEDIA DEVICE (MTP). This instantly connected the phone to the computer. Hope this will solve your problem!!!

Answer 3

Go to android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver & replace android_winusb.inf with the one downloaded from https://github.com/gu1dry/android_winusb. This will add a bunch of devices, Galaxy Nexus included. Then point to that dir when installing a driver.

Answer 4

Make sure that you have installed the usb drivers for the phone too.
You can take a look at this guide about setting up devices for testing and see if you have missed any of the steps.
