Android Development - Command "adb devices" not listing my device

I see many people has this problem and so I see many solutions as well. But none is working.

I am having Ainol Novo8 Dream QuadCore Tablet running Android 4.1.1. My Window machine is Win 7 (with all updates).

For above I have download usb_driver i got from somewhere but window is not taking it. It says it is already up-to-date. Even after uninstalling the driver it does not take mine but update from net. My device is fully connected through USB without Yellow warning. Do, I still need to use usb_driver I got from somewhere for my Tablet ?

I read about SDK setup, but I did not find it anywhere. I have Eclipse with ADT from Google Developer page. Also, there were no .... google/usb_drive/ folder exist. For info, Virtual Device is working correctly on my Eclipse setup.

I read about two files which looks important: adb_usb.ini and android_winusb.inf. Both are not present in my installation. Though in the downloaded usb_driver for Ainol android_winusb.inf exist.

Tried with "adb start-servers" and adb kill-servers". No help for "adb devices".

My folder structure is C:\Eclipse_N_ADT\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522\sdk

I have done with USB Debug Mode on. Notification is showing this. I removed the slide password thinking if it can interfere with. My device is rooted by default. My device is not coming on Portable Device list. When I check through Devices and Printer on Win7 then I can see window has found device drivers. There it shows my Tablet Model under driver list.

For the sake of anyone else still struggling with this, I found a driver package that works.

I recently purchased an Ainol Novo Hero 10 II for development purposes and faced the same problem as you. This solution works for me:

Source: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/70585-adb-drivers/

  1. If you have already installed any previous drivers but your ADB doesn't recognise it, go to your Device Mangers to uninstall and remove all existing drivers associated with your new device.

  2. Download modified USB driver from here: http://yadi.sk/d/54lX5c2O386XU

  3. This driver is UNSIGNED so install at your own risk (although it seems to work for me). Windows has a Driver Signature Enforcement that you need to disable. A google search will lead you to instructions (sorry not enough rep points to post more than 2 links :P)

  4. Reinstall with the new driver. The package already includes an adb_usb.ini file that includes a Vendor ID 0x10d6 that should help recognise your device.

  5. Reboot Windows (and remember to reactivate your Drive Signature Enforcement) and it should be working.
