I'm trying to connect my Nexus 5 to my Windows 7 (64 bits even though I don't think it makes any difference) in order to deploy and test some apps.
I updated the USB driver from "SDK Manager -> Extras". I downloaded the latest usb driver from android development web page.
The solution I found seaarching on google and on stack overflow was: - Go to Windows device manager
Select Nexus 5 under "Other devices"
(- Uninstall driver) - I tried inserting this step after the next ones failed
Update driver
Browse from computer
Select the downloaded usb driver (tried selecting the one downloaded from the web page and the one from sdk manager)
Windows still tells me it can't find the driver.
Yes, I checked the "include sub-folders" option.
Yes, the USB debugging mode is on.
Yes, I've tried this with MTP and PTP enabled and disabled (the four possible combinations).
Nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Just in case anyone is wondering I wasn't able to solve this and used another device.
Some time ago (after the release of Android 5) I followed the tutorial again and it worked just fined.
