My Samsung galaxy S3 phone doesn't seem to be recognized as a valid target to debug using ADB. USB debugging is enabled in the phone settings and I am able to run my app if I manually install the .apk. Unknown target

There seems to be an old ASUS driver in the way that I cannot get rid of (I used to debug on an ASUS TF101 transformer tablet) even though I uninstalled the driver and tried to delete anything related to it. Device Manager ASUS

I have already tried to update the driver using the Google USB Drivers and the Drivers provided by Samsung.

I have also tried with my colleague's Nexus 5 with similar result. I have tried Uninstalling the ADT/ADB and all drivers and re-install from scratch without success

Any Idea what I can do short of formatting my computer in order to be able to debug on my device.

  • Do you have a custom rom on your s3? Have you installed the Google Drivers from the latest SDK Manager? – Emanuel Jun 12 '14 at 15:08
  • @Emanuel There is non custom rom in the s3. I think I have installed the latest google drivers (v9) from the latest SDK since I updated everything yesterday. – gfrigon Jun 13 '14 at 19:04
  • uninstall the driver with checkbox "Delete the driver software..." checked. then manually create a driver for yourself: [link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24220034/2855059) – M D P Jun 17 '14 at 11:21
  • @M D P - I was finally able to debug on my phone. I was an authorization issue. It seems that tere might be a per-phone limit of authorization. – gfrigon Jul 15 '14 at 17:26

It seems that the issue was that the "allow usb debugging" dialog wasn't being displayed as per this post: Can't connect Nexus 4 to adb: unauthorized

By clearing the previous authorization, I got the dialog to pop and could authorize the debugging.

I had already authorized debugging on 2 other computers (a while ago). I wonder if there might be a limit to the ammount of authorizations that 1 phone can issue.

For more details on the feature, you can read this article: Secure USB debugging in Android 4.2.2
