How to install ADB DRIVERS for your ANDROID DEVICE in WINDOWS XP / 7 / 8 / 8.1

So basically there are two methods for installing adb driver, first one is very simple which automatically works but if somehow it’s not working then you will have to use second method in which you will install it manually.

METHOD 1 (Simple, Automatic): Make sure your computer have internet connection.

STEPS:

1)    Connect your device to computer with USB cable.
2)    Now in your phone turn on Developer Options (Setting -> Developer Options).
3)    In Developer Options list, mark the check box “USB Debugging”.
4)    Windows will automatically start to download and install the drivers.

METHOD 2 (Little Complex, Manual):

STEPS:

1)    Download the attached .ZIP file and extract it somewhere you can find it (i.e. C:\ latest_usb_driver_windows).
2)    Connect your device to computer with USB cable.
3)    Now in your phone turn on Developer Options (Setting -> Developer Options).
4)    In Developer Options list, mark the check box “USB Debugging”.
5)    Open Device Manager, In Windows 8.1/8/7 press windows button then in search programs and files type “Device Manager”. Click on first option. In Windows XP go to Control Panel-> Performance and Maintenance-> Administrative Tools-> Computer Management. When the Computer Management utility opens, click on Device Manager on the left side of the window, located toward the bottom of the list under the System Tools heading.
6)    Under Other Devices you should now see Motorola ADB Interface.
7)    Right-click and select Update Driver Software.
8)    Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
9)    Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
10) Click on Show All Devices then Next. DO NOT CLICK ON ADB INTERFACE FROM THE LIST!
11) Click on Have Disk button.
12) Click Browse button.
13) Go to “C:\ latest_usb_driver_windows\usb_driver\ “ then select android_winusb.inf and click the Open button.
14) Click OK.
15) Select Android Composite ADB Interface and click the Next button.
16) Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning window.



It will take few seconds to install the driver. You'll get a window saying that your driver was successfully updated (click the Close button), and your phone should now show up at the top of the device list under Android Phone.
