Unable to install OEM driver for android on windows 8.1

I am unable to install the OEM drivers for android debugging on windows 8.1 64 bit OS. I have done following steps so far.

  1. Downloaded the android usb drivers from SDK manager. Placed under D drive Android SDK directory. Enabled the USB debugging on my phone via developer options.

Path of drivers on my computer:

D:\Program Files\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

  1. I also made changes as suggested at few places to enable the installation of unsigned drivers on windows 8.1 (chosen step 7 in advance system settings)
  2. My phone which runs 4.2.2 android version is detected on my system (connected as media device). I also tried as PTP camera but no luck.

Finally the problem. When I go to device manager and do an update driver, i select the option to look for driver on my computer. I gave the path under D drive as above. When I click on next windows says "can not find the driver". Please help me , I am unable to understand what could be the problem

Thanks

Driver selection!

Solution

  • OK, just for the sake of beginners like me who came across this issue. I was able to resolve this by downloading USB drivers from your supported device website. For me I had MotoG so i went to motorola website and downloaded the motorola device manager which installed the relevant usb drivers. Immediately everything went fine, and i was able to run app on my device using android studio.
