Root Win7 drivers harshin my mellow...

[paully]

"adb devices" yields blank space. after battling for a while, I did the "start from scratch":

I used USBDeview to remove the 8 or so 'androidy' looking devices shown in my usb "history"

I downloaded 'latest_usb_ driver_windows.zip' (from google page linked in OP of xda's driver troubles thread) to 'downloads', when I plugged in my phone it popped up in correctly. just to be paranoid I tried to update driver anyway, pointing it to the 'latest_usb_ driver_windows.zip', which yielded that there was nothing new to update.

I fresh downloaded the sdk, and platform tools per OP of xda's driver troubles thread.

still blank space from "adb devices".

I then toggled on the "adb_trace=all" per the three commands in post #2 of xda's driver troubles thread, which spit out the jazz shown in the attached pic, where my device manager line is also visable off to the left.

any thoughts?

Thanks!

EDIT: To add some detail. USB debugging is on. Connected in MTP. Puter OS is Windows 7. Although this morning I'm noticing that the Win7 popup asking what to do with the device doesn't happen (where it's if I want to 'import files', 'open folder for viewing', etc). While it used to, before I started these efforts. But it does show in Device Manager as "Google Nexus ADB Interface".

Bummer, Dude.

You haven't changed cables, have you? Some of them have only the +/- 5 volt wires, no data leads, so they never "connect" the phone. If you switched to one of those after you got the "what should I do" prompt, that would explain it.

Otherwise, troubleshoot.

Different cable, preferably the one that came with the phone. Different computer. (Win7 is fine - I use it for adb.) New Adb/SDK installation, install Odin, let Odin install the drivers. (It even has a "Reinstall Drivers" menu item.)

Still NG? See if the store's computer recognizes it. (Even just adb devices.)

One toke at a time.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Been using OEM cable. Although tried my old 3vo cable with same result.

At work today ( via different win7 puter, different cable, no driver alterations, just how win7 "naturally" deals with n5's), I did at least get the win7 popup asking me what I wanted to do with the device ("open folder to view files", etc) and could xfer files of course. I don't get this popup at home, after having installed the google nexus driver that is, I used to.
Is it normal for this to go away?


Thanks again!
