Adb Driver and Windows 8.1

ADB Driver and Windows 8.1

UPDATE: Post with images ➤ English Version | Versión en Español


If Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43:

  • Install this Compatibility update from Windows.
  • If you already have this update but you get this error, restart your PC (unfortunately, it happened to me, I tried everything until I thought what if I restart...).

If the device is listed in Device Manager as Other devices -> Android but reports an error code 28:

  • Google USB Driver didn't work for me. You could try your corresponding OEM USB Drivers, but in my case my device is not listed there.
  • So, install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.7.23.0
  • Restart the computer (very important)
  • Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
  • Select Browse my computer for driver software
  • Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
  • Select ADB Interface from the list
  • Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yes to continue.
  • Done!

By doing this I was able to use my tablet for development under Windows 8.1.

Note: This solution uses Samsung drivers but works for other devices.

How to use adb on Windows 8.1 guest (VirtualBox)

At first add PID and VID of Your G2mini phone to Google USB driver .inf file, then change on Your phone "USB connection method" to PTP as in this answer of selbie.

windows 8 android usb driver

I had the same issue a while ago. Seeing that the USB driver hasn't been updated since, the simple (and probably unsatifying) answer is revert back to windows 7. I've seen some scetchy drivers around but not for your device.

Windows 8 is still in preview/developer stage and I doubt we'll see proper drivers until it's closer to release. Just keep checking the SDK Manager and try again when the USB driver has an update.

Where is the Windows ADB Driver for the Pixel C?

I was able to use the current Google USB drivers, but had to modify the android_winusb.inf to include the PID and VID for the Pixel C. I can now connect the Pixel C to my windows comptuer using either a USB 3 cable or a USB 2 cable (with one end being USB type C).

  1. Backup your android_winusb.inf, typically found in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
  2. Open android_winusb.inf for Edit
  3. Under [Google.NTx86] section, add:
;Google Pixel C     
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_5203
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_5203&MI_01

  1. Under [Google.NTamd64] add:
;Google Pixel C
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_5203
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_5203&MI_01

  1. Plug in Pixel C to your windows machine
  2. Go to your device manager where the "unknown ADB device" is listed. Update the driver, and point it to the location where the driver is installed (where the INF file is).
  3. Follow prompts to install driver. I got a notice saying that the drivers were from an unrecognized source. Update: Note, when I try this these days, I don't get a notice about the driver not being signed / recognized, they simply do not work. I had to do "Let me pick from a list of device drivers", select "Show All Devices", and then select one of the android selections, ADB bridge, I believe. Then it should work.

Her'es the full contents of the INF file for reference.
