Question

Answer 1

I have A Sony Xperia Tipo. The drivers somehow did not work for me. Have a look at

Of course you need to enable the USB Debugging in the Developer options in the Settings menu.

Answer 2

I tried loads of things with no joy. Then I did a software update through the PC and it re-installed the drivers. Now it's working again, so try this if all else fails.

Answer 3

Open USB debugging, and May be your usb driver is not correct ,You can use wandoujia to install the driver on your windows, here is the download page: http://www.wandoujia.com/ It can help you find the driver. Have a try

Answer 4

For Meizu MX5:

Connect to PC > Pull down notifications menu > Click Touch for other USB options > Choose Built-in CD-ROM > The device opens on windows > Go to F:\USB Reference Manual\EN\ADB_Reference_Manual.txt and follow the instructions.

For windows this is what the file says:

Create or modify the file C:\User\<Your username>\.android\adb_usb.ini. Add a line (with the content "0x2a45") to this file.

It worked for me.

Answer 5

Setting the USB mode isn't good enough. USB debugging must be enabled to allow adb to connect to the phone. This probably states the obvious but for me it took a while reading through these comments and wondering why adb doesn't connect. make sure your developer mode is active on the phone and "Developer Options" -> "USB debugging" is enabled.

Answer 6

Installing the PC companion fixed it for me too, it changed my drivers (on windows 7 x64). I tried lots of things before, including switch to mass storage (that might have helped also).
