ADB No Devices Found

Question

Windows 8 wouldn't recognize my Nexus 10 device. Fixed by Setting the transfer mode to Camera (PTP) through the settings dialogue on the device.

Settings > Storage > Menu > USB Computer connection to "Camera (PTP)"

For Windows 8 users:

After trying every solution given here, with no success, I found this:

Go to Device Manager

---

Browse my computer for drivers -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Choose Android Device and then Android ADB Interface.

---

Now I have my devices listed at adb devices.

This situation seems to arise with some ADB drivers. I have encountered the same thing with a couple of Google devices and installing the Universal ADB windows driver has fixed it for me every time.

Use another cable.

Just found out that one of my regular charging cables had Vcc, Gnd pairs, but no Data+, Data-.

I have found a solution (for Windows 7):

1. Connect your Nexus 10 to PC
   
2. Go to Windows Device Manager
   
3. RClick on ADB Interface -> properties
   
4. Details -> Hardware Ids.
   

You will see two records like these:

USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2
USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01

5 Open the android_winusb.inf file (I have it in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" directory)

6 Create such records in [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections using Hardware Ids from properties of ADB interface:

;Google Nexus 10
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01

7 Save the file, and update driver for ADB Interface with showing the path to "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" directory
