Getting the S7 to work with ADB

[stereotada]

Hi Friends

I have had the huawei for quite a while, and only now have i decided it was time to change the default launcher into something a little more appealing.

The problem I have is I can not get the Huawei to connect to the PC properly. Every time I do, it tells me the necessary drivers are not installed, and it cannot recognize the device. I try to reinstall the drivers via device manager, but it tells me that all drivers are up to date,and the computer still doesn't recognize the device.

Does anyone else have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I had that problem until I kept researching on the forums and found that USB Debugging had to be on.
The folks on this forum know all and see all, I just didn't know where it was. It's out there if you want to know about it!

Hmm. I always keep USB debugging on so I don't think that is the problem. I've tried connecting it on several different computers and they all have the same problem. The computer cannot recognize the huawei as a device.

Ill keep searching the forums though. Thanks for your reply.

have you tried adbwireless?

Thank you for your reply.

As i understand, don't you need root access to use adbwireless?

And since I can't get adb to work, I dont have any ways of rooting my device.

You probably need to install the Huawei S7 USB drivers. You dont need them to mount your sd cards on your pc to transfer data but you do need them for ADB.

Yes, this is exactly my problem as I have stated in the op. I have downloaded and tried to install the usb drivers numerous times, with no luck. Every time i try, my computer tells me all the drivers are up to date, but it still doesnt recognize it.

Then I would uninstall your S7 and make sure debugging is enabled on it. When you reconnect your S7 you should have the option of pointing your PC to the correct driver to install.
