Answer 2

Answer by Rick and MadX is the right way to do the steps (Thumbs Up for the answer)

In my case I am using Akcess USB Type C Data Sync Cable For Nexus 5x, 5P - White As Nexus 5x do not supply type C to usb cable I purchased it from some vendor.

Having the same issue. What I am doing stupidly is:- I am connecting the cable in wrong way. After I reconnect it from upside down its working for me.

I might think that some of the Cables do not support debuggable. But its in my case.

This(Image) is my case the Type C should be as USB side symbol. A stupid solution, but work for me

Answer 3

For those trying to connect their android phone in adb with no luck and have tried every USB configuration (MTP, PTP, RNDIS). It is worthing noting that in my case with my Nexus 5X on Windows 7 I successfully connected the phone to adb only by choosing the Charging USB Configuration. With any other configuration (MTP, PTP, ...) it doesn't work.

USB Driver: Google USB Driver v11

ADB Version: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39

Answer 4

I have suffered the same issue and was able to solve it by simply changing on my Android device (Nexus 5X) in Developer options > Select USB Configuration to RNDIS (USB Ethernet)

Answer 5

This simple steps worked for me, I debug on my Nexus 5 and 5X devices on Windows 8.1.

The steps to follow are these:

1) Enable from Developers Options the Debug USB Mode

2) Unplug the device from the computer

3.1) Go to Settings → Storage, in the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose USB computer connection.

3.2) If you didn't find the 3.1) option then go to Settings → Developers Options → Select USB Configuration.

4) Select Camera (PTP) connection.

5) Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection, or something like that.

6) If it doesn't work try to toggle the Debug USB Mode in the Developers Options Finally, you should see it now in the DDMS and voilà.
