What USB driver should we use for the Nexus 5?

by

I just wanted to bring a small contribution, because I have been able to debug on my Nexus 5 device on Windows 8, without doing all of this.

When I plugged it, there wasn’t any yellow exclamation mark within Device Manager. So for me, the drivers were OK. But the device was not listed within my Eclipse DDMS. After a little bit of searching, it was just an option to change in the device settings. By default, the Nexus 5 USB computer connection is in MTP mode (Media Device).

What you have to do is:

  • Unplug the device from the computer
  • Go to Settings -> Storage.
  • In the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose “USB computer connection”.
  • Check “Camera (PTP)” connection.
  • Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer’s incoming connection, or something like that.
  • Finally, you should see it now in the DDMS and voilà.

I hope this will help!
