Troubleshooting

1/ Device is not recognized at all

• These drivers are only for Intel® devices. If you’re using a device from one of our OEM, please get the drivers directly from their web site, or you can use the list of links provided by Google here.

2/ I have errors in Windows Device Manager

• Open Windows Device Manager:
  • You may see USB Mass Storage instead of ADB Device. If it’s the case, right click on Mass Storage device icon and select ‘Uninstall’.
    Then unplug your device from the computer and install drivers’ setup again.
  • You may see Android Device with yellow warning icon. If it’s the case, right click on Android Device icon and select ‘Uninstall’.
    Then unplug your device from the computer and install drivers’ setup again

3/ I can see Portable Device but no Android Debug Bridge (ADB) profile

You may have not enabled “USB Debugging” option.
The developer options on your phone are hidden by default. Open the settings on your phone, and find the About section. Look through it until you see the «Build number» entry. Tap it five times in quick succession, and you should see a small dialog letting you know that you’re now a developer.
Come back to Settings main menu and go into Developer Options, then enable USB Debugging.

4/ I’m old school and still using Windows XP. When I activate MTP there is no pop-up to allow me to access phone file system or transfer media files.

MTP is not supported by default with Windows XP. You have to install Windows Media Player 10 or later.
