adb doesn't recognize samsung gear live or lg g watch

Question

I am trying to execute adb on samsung gear live watch on windows 7. I don\'t seem to find device drivers to get it recognized by adb. This is what I already hav

Answer 1

On Win 7, the way I found is to make a copy of "...\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" on desktop or elsewhere, then edit file "android_winusb.inf" to add Gear Live description :

• First open Device Manager and right click "Gear Live" in "Other devices" and choose Properties. In "Details" folder, choose "material identification numbers" and copy the second one (My os is in french, so i try to translate names correctly...). The number to copy must look like (or be): "USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002"

• Then edit "android_winusb.inf" (the one in the folder previously copied, in case of...) and add under "[Google.NTx86]", at the end, these lines :

  ;Gear Live

  %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002

  %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&MI_01

Be careful to change "USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002" with your material number if needed (but let "&MI_01" on second line.

• Make the same under [Google.NTamd64].

• Now you can go back to "device manager", right click on "Gear Live", choose "Update driver software" then "Browse my computer..." and choose the folder where you just edit "android_winusb.inf".
