Nexus 7 not visible over USB via “adb devices” from Windows 7 x64

Question

I have done the obvious -- the USB driver was installed from the latest Android SDK, and USB debugging was turned on in the tablet.

When the Nexus 7 is connecte

Answer 1

I'm using Nexus 7 (4.2) on Windows 7 x64. None of the other methods described here worked for me. The tab was already in PTP mode. Finally, I could get it working when I added the below line to 'android_winusb.inf' under \extras\google\usb_driver and did an 'update driver':

%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E44&REV_9999&MI_01

To get the exact hardware ID (USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E44&REV_9999&MI_01 in my case), you can go to Computer Management -> Device Manager -> Details tab -> select Hardware Id from the drop-down.
