Installing Android ADB driver in Windows 8.1 64-bit when all else fails
For some reason I just couldn't get my machine to recognize Xperia J in Windows 8.1 64-bit. Even after installing
latest Sony PC Companion (2.10.174). Device Manager kept showing yellow exclamation mark to an 'Android'.

3. After installation, look for the driver location by hovering mouse over Google USB Driver. The location will
appear in the tooltip.

3. Modify android_winusb.inf
1. Go to the usb driver location, for example in the above picture it is c:\Android\androidstudio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

Login

2. Make a backup copy of android_winusb.inf


3. Open android_winusb.inf with a text editor. Notepad is fine but Notepad++ is better, it will syntax highlight
the inf file!
4. Look for [Google.NTx86], and insert a line with your device's hardware ID that you copied above, for
example
[Google.NTx86]
; ... other existing lines
;SONY Sony Xperia J
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01

5. Look for [Google.NTamd86], and insert the same lines, for example:
[Google.NTamd64]
; ... other existing lines
;SONY Sony Xperia J
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01

6. Save the file.

4. Disable driver signing


1. Run Command Prompt as an administrator
2. Paste and run the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
3. Restart Windows.

5. Install driver
1. Open Device Manager, right-click that Android with yellow exclamation mark and click Update Driver
Software.
2. Click Browse my computer for driver software.
3. Enter or browse to the folder containing android_winusb.inf, eg: C:\Android\androidstudio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
4. Click Next.
5. The driver will install.
6. Run adb devices to confirm your device is working fine.

6. Re-enable driver signing


1. Run Command Prompt as an administrator
2. Paste and run the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
3. Restart Windows.
4. Run adb devices to reconfirm!

Unfortunately, this does NOT work for me:


C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
An error has occurred setting the element data.
The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted.

Gosh, maybe you can skip that bcdedit section and see what happens.

Leif, I had the same problem attempting to use the bcdedit command. To disable driver signing, follow the
procedure described here instead: http://revryl.com/2013/08/06/install-unsigned-drivers/
worked for me with no issue after adding my hardware ids to the .inf file per step 3 above. Good luck!

Leif, have you tried running cmd.exe as an administrator?

Just wanted to say that this post helped greatly, but I don't get the whole bcdedit thing. I had 2 devices that I needed to
start working on my new computer. For the phone, I used this method with the bcdedit command and restarting to get it
to work. But for the tablet, I followed a similar tutorial found here http://stackoverflow.com/a/19839812/2089675. And
without the whole command line fiasco, the tablet started working as well.

Thanks a lot. It works!!! BTW, in 3rd big step, "NTamd86" in "Look for [Google.NTamd86], and insert the same lines,
for example" should be "NTamd64".
