adb doesn't recognize samsung gear live or lg g watch

Question

I am trying to execute adb on samsung gear live watch on windows 7. I don't seem to find device drivers to get it recognized by adb. This is what I already have -

1. I have enabled adb debugging in gear live already
2. I went to device manager and pointed device driver location for gear live to sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
3. No luck. adb devices yields no results.
4. I don't seem to find device driver elsewhere for windows 7.

Answer 1

I'm running Windows 8.1 and this method worked perfectly fine:

Open your device manager and select "Update Driver Software..." on your Gear Live:

Select "Browse My Computer for driver software":

Select "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer":

Select "Android Device". If not available, it may have been renamed to "Samsung Android Device", "Asus Android Device", and so on.

Then, choose the "Android Composite ADB interface" from Google, Samsung or in fact almost any other Android devices vendor:

This works because usually, the only differences between all these composite ADB Windows drivers are the usb_id and the signature.

Now adb devices should return your device and a popup will appear on your Android device, to authorize your computer.
