Nexus 10 - not visible to adb on Windows 7 or Linux

Question

adb doesn\'t recognize my Nexus 10 on Windows 7. Here\'s what I\'ve done:

1. Installed the SDK and USB driver from Google. Windows 7 sees the tablet as an \'Android A

Answer 1

All I had to do was restart the tablet.

Answer 2

Try a different usb port. Worked for me on windows 8.1 with Nexus5/10.

Answer 3

You should have done at least two things to get your device recognized on Linux:

1. specify USB manufacturer and device ID in your hot-plug manager
2. add an entry to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini using USB manuacturer ID

You may find manufacturer and device IDs with 'lsusb' command (that's LSUSB in lower case).

Answer 4

I had the same problem on Windows 7.

First make sure the Nexus 10 developer mode and USB debugging is on ( if you dont see developer options, tap on About Settings -> Tablet -> Build Number a several time and it should activate developer mode)

Check if your ADB driver is in good shape by going into the Device Manager. If not un-install the ADB device manager and re-install it by pointing Windows to Android SDK location (It should pick up the driver automatically).

Once it is installed and still it does not work. Go into Settings-> Storage -> USB Computer Connection and select PTP option. Reconnect tablet to the USB.

Hope it helps!.

Answer 5

As strange as it sounds, try switching the tablet between media device and camera mode. On the 10 ADB only works for me in camera mode, while on the 7 it only works in media device mode.
