Getting Ready:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. You need to download and install the latest Android SDK on your computer from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.htmlAndroid SDK | Android Developers
3. Install the latest java SDk if you don't already have one.
Tutorial:
1. Extract the package to the folder of your choice [Let's say- C:/android-sdk-windows/], run
SDK Manager.exe
2. Close the command / windows command prompt window that opens.
3. In the new window, click on
Available Packages to the left. Untick all options you are prompted to download except the USB driver option & Android sdk tools revisionx(13 as of now) & android sdk platform-tools revision x(7 as of now) if they are there.
(Note-If you get an error message
at this point, enable “Force https://" in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts. )
4. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the
android-sdk-windows/extras/google/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable. If you do not see the prompt install the drivers separaely.
5. Run command prompt in administrator.
Type in the following after the ">" at each step (without quotations,and including spaces and capital letters)
"cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools"
"adb devices"
A $ sign should pop up
Do tell if it works.
