ADB not recognising Nexus 4 under Windows 7

Question

I\'m running on Windows 7, and I\'ve updated all the drivers as it says on the Android developer website regarding using hardware devices. However, Eclipse is still not reco

Answer 1

I had to resort to a clean install of Windows 7 x64 to fix this issue.

I tried all steps/variants in the other answers. No luck. Device Manager would show my 'Android Device / Android Composite ADB Interface' working properly with the 7.0.0.1 driver from Google, but nothing could get 'adb devices' to show my Nexus 4.

I used USBDeview to uninstall every USB device that had connected to my computer except my keyboard and mouse. No luck.

I enabled 'Show hidden devices' in Device Manager and uninstalled anything related to USB. No luck.

I added Google's vendor ID to adb_usb.ini. No luck. I deleted adb_usb.ini and ran 'android update adb'. No luck.

I brought my Nexus 4 to my brother's apartment to confirm it wasn't faulty. Worked on his machine without a hiccup.

I'm glad the clean install worked, because further troubleshooting was going to require swapping motherboards or buying a MacBook.

Boy, that escalated quickly.
