Installing the Android USB Driver in Windows 7
I am attempting to install the Android USB Driver in my computer running on Windows 7. I followed the instructions in the developer section of the website, but I am stuck. Here is the website with the instructions;
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7
What I am having trouble with is in step 7-8, when I click next after selecting the path <sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver under where I enter the location. I get an error message that says "Windows could not find driver software for your device"
I have tried looking for help in the Developers website, but it's so difficult to navigate that I am asking here.
I am positive that, under Computer Management, I am choosing the Android device under Other devices, which another question I have is that two "Android" drivers are showing up, but I figured this was due to me owning a previous phone with Android. See screenshot;
My phone is plugged in to my computer and USB debugging is checked in my phone. I own a Samsung Ace II.
Answer
Just download and install "Samsung Kies" from this link. and everything would work as required.
Before installing, uninstall the drivers you have installed for your device.
Update:
Two possible solutions:
- Try with the Google USB driver which comes with the SDK.
- Download and install the Samsung USB driver from this link as suggested by Mauricio Gracia Gutierrez
