Nexus 7 Not Visible Over Usb via "Adb Devices" from Windows 7 X64

Nexus 7 not visible over USB via adb devices from Windows 7 x64

When the Nexus 7 is plugged in there is a persistent notification that indicates "CONNECT AS / Media Device (MTP)". In this state adb devices will not show the Nexus, or undoubtedly any other device. Not exactly obvious, but if you select the second option "Camera (PTP)" the device is available for debugging (the lesson is ignore the camera, and focus on the protocol PTP).

This configuration is persistent, and I'm guessing that with a brand new device it will connect as MTP until told otherwise.

Settings --> Storage --> Top Left Option (Computer USB Connection) tap--> choose MTP

Nexus 7 does not show under 'adb devices' with Windows 8 PC

I have finally figured this one out:

This guide tells you to go and get the Google USB Driver from google.

For me, Downloading it as an optional SDK component just didn't do the trick. But on the very same page, there's a button that says Download Google USB Driver (near upper left corner, in blue.) This gets you latest_usb_driver_windows.zip file.

Use this guide right here If you are unsure how to install this driver. I could see my Nexus on adb after I've done this. Best of luck!

Try this, connect the device, then swipe down your notifications on the status bar (left side), tap on Connected as a media device and change that to Camera (PTP).

USB Debugging not working, adb ignores Nexus 7

It turns out that the Nexus 7 definitely needs the Google USB Driver. Finding, downloading, and installing this driver worked perfectly.

Because Google's Android OEM drivers page does not include the Nexus 7 in its list of devices that need the Google USB driver, I had been trying the driver from Asus, which did not work. I did not try the Google USB driver because for some reason my SDK manager said it had downloaded the driver, but the driver was not to be found.

Finally I found I could download the Google USB driver from this page, which clarifies that all Google Nexus devices need this driver. Now I have successfully re-connected the tablet to ADB.

I submitted a documentation bug report to Google here in hopes that the OEM drivers page can be updated to reflect that all Google Nexus devices need the Google USB driver.

Nexus 10 - not visible to adb on Windows 7 or Linux

I had the same problem on Windows 7.

First make sure the Nexus 10 developer mode and USB debugging is on ( if you dont see developer options, tap on About Settings -> Tablet -> Build Number a several time and it should activate developer mode)

Check if your ADB driver is in good shape by going into the Device Manager. If not un-install the ADB device manager and re-install it by pointing Windows to Android SDK location (It should pick up the driver automatically).

Once it is installed and still it does not work. Go into Settings-> Storage -> USB Computer Connection and select PTP option. Reconnect tablet to the USB.

Hope it helps!.
