Answer 1

Ι had the same problem:

While i had activated the debugging options on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos Black), eclipse couldn't find the device because the usb drivers failed to download or something and so in the Device Manager (win7) i saw only Android and CSC something, all yellow and with no installed drivers.

I tried to download the Samsung drivers manually, but this failed to work.

What REALLY worked was downloading+installing Samsung Kies, connecting my device through usb and at first it failed again to put the drivers, then i disconnected the device, pressed some troubleshooting errors button that was on the main screen (NOT the lite version, the normal one), that took some time, re-connected the device and voila, the drivers were installed successfully and both the Device Manager and eclipse recognised the device.

I had the same problem with my LG G3 phone. I tried to re-install the driver as explained here: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html Nothing helped. Fortunately on the very same page I have found the link to LG firmware site: http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware

So I did the following:

• Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable

• Uninstalled the Google's USB driver (My Computer->Management->Devices->Portable Devices->MyPhone: uninstall)

• Download driver for my LG G3 phone (LG885) from the LG site

• Install this driver

• Got on the phone screen request to approve the new RCA key and allow debugging.

• Try to Run an Android project in Eclipse.

• PROBLEM SOLVED.

Make sure your account has admin privileges. I installed my Motorola drivers without elevating, and although the install ran smoothly it never associated them to the device. Once I ran as admin, worked like a charm.

If you are developing with Windows, you might need to install the USB driver for our device. For Windows 7, here's how you do it:

To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for your device:

1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
2. Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
3. Select Devices in the left pane.
4. Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
5. Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
6. Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
7. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.)
8. Click Next to install the driver.

Answer 5

I Had the same problem. I saw that the product was correctly defined under Device Manager, but Eclispe did not show the product in the target.

The easy way was to install Samsung Kies and to see that the following command: ...eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-toolsadb\adb device gives me some output instead of only "List of devices attached". once it recognizes the product, use "run configuration" choosing target "Active devices" under "Launch on all compatible devices/AVD's" radio button.

still, you don't get the product on the list as expected but it works. Good Luck!
