Unable to install adb driver

Whenever I try to install Google USB driver or koush's UniversalAdbDriver off github.

I get the message "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your drive. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

I did manage to install a ADB driver for this phone on my old PC, but its been so long that I don't remember how I did it.

The alcatel official website doesn't list this phone and doesn't seem to provide drivers either.

How can I get ADB to detect my phone which is a ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 5036A?

Solution

  • Turns out the reason why it wasn't allowed was because those drivers were for AMD.

    I found a guide/driver that is from intel that works:
