Debug mode - adb driver problem

[CactusPie]

Hello,

I'm having trouble connecting my phone to my PC in debug mode. It seems that adb interface drivers cannot be installed correctly. Whenever I connect my phone, the following entry appears in device manager:

I have enabled developer mode and usb debugging. Running adb devices in the command prompt shows no devices. I also tried connecting two other xperia phones (older models) to my PC and both have been detected instantly. I tried reinstalling my phone drivers and I tried using adb installer tool (link) but it didn't solve the problem. The phone works fine in MTP mode and I can transfer files to it without problems.

My operating system is Windows 7 x64.

Can anyone please help me?

Hi and welcome to the community!

You can download the ADB driver for M4 Aqua from here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-m4-aqua-driver/

Right click the device in the device manager and select the update driver option. In the wizard, include the path to the folder where you extracted the driver from the above link.

I've tried that already. Windows cannot find the driver in the extracted directory. I also tried using usb drivers downloaded with android sdk manager (not sure if the adb drivers are there to begin with), but it didn't help either.

It actually looks like there's an issue with the driver. I will forward this internally.

But what you can try (worked for me in W7 x64) is to download the driver from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top and extract it to a folder.

Then update the driver from device manager but select manual install, "Have disk", select "android_winusb.inf" and then "Android ADB Interface". I can connect to my M4 Aqua over ADB after installing this driver.

Yes, that worked perfectly. Thank you!

Glad to hear that

Just wanted to let you know that we have a new version of the driver now on http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-m4-aqua-driver/

Thanks for updating the driver now is working perfect under Windows, but I still have a problem in Linux, none of the memories are recognized, Xperia M4 Aqua does not have the option to connect like MSC only MTP, and de ADB interface does not work too.

I hope You can fix this soon,Thanks again, bye.

@Orions68

To browse the phone from your computer the Linux distribution in your PC needs to support MTP. It might also be possible to download a software for your distribution that adds support for it.

If this is not possible for the distribution you have you could perhaps use WiFi instead if your phone and computer are connected to the same network. In Google Play you can download an app that acts as a FTP-server or Samba/cifs-server in the phone that you then can connect to from your PC.

Have you tried the new version of the driver i posted earlier? This should work without any issue.
