windows 7 adb driver Samsung galaxy S3

Question

For app development purposes, I would like to access Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone through ADB interface on my Windows 7 32 bit laptop. Where can I find the ADB driver for the phone?

Answer 1

adb shell --> 'error: device not found'

Here is what worked for me with Win7 64 bits

1. Install from http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
   • Note: This (in 2014) - may need other drivers for other OS
2. Open Device Manager | Other Devices | Smasung (yellow question mark)
3. Right Click | Update Driver Software ...
4. Browse my computer for driver software + Next
5. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

6. Select from the list Samsung Mobile driver

   Result: Device Manager doesn't show the phone under Other Devices, but instead display it under SAMSUNG Android Phone --> now can connect

7. Refresh: Try also to refresh adb by killing adb.exe process and adb shell again.
