Answer 1

Follow Google's instructions for this, OEM USB Drivers.

Answer 2

Changing USB mode from MTP to PTP worked for me.

Answer 3

Some of you may have experienced this issue. If you don't find the USB driver (like me, I downloaded a bundle of Eclipse and the Android SDK), go to <sdk>/SDK Manager. Open it and select USB Driver from the options to install and you are ready. I had to do the PTP mode too.

Answer 4

Just to confirm a previous comment. I needed to switch my connection to Camera (PTP) mode in addition to enabling Developer options and then selecting USB Debugging from the newly appeared Developer Options.

Answer 5

My Windows 7 installation was not finding a driver at all. The xda-forums post has the right folder to tell Windows where the drivers are -- {SDK directory}/extras/google/usb-driver.

If you don't have the extras/Google folder + Tim Bellis, go to the SDK Manager in your IDE and look for the Google USB driver in the Extras category, and install it. I cannot tell you how to do this in Eclipse, but if you have IntelliJ IDEA, it's near the bottom of the list, checkmark it and click "Install packages".

Answer 6

My solution is very silly. I had tried all the solutions above and wasted so many hours. Then I found out the solution when I browsed developer options. I didn't check mark the "USB debugging" option. The silly me assumed turns on developer options mean turns on USB debugging, but I was wrong.
