The Intel Android. USB Driver package enables you to connect your Windows.-based machine to your Android device that contains an Intel® Atom™ processor inside. USB drivers for Android devices are platform-specific, and there is no guarantee that this Intel USB driver works for every OEM device.

Intel USB Drivers for Android resolves all the connection issues between an Android device and Windows PC, be it transferring files between the devices or debugging over ADB and Fastboot. Intel drivers for Android are supported by devices powered by Intel Processor from ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Teclast, HP, Toshiba, and Samsung, etc. Check Device Manager for errors on USB and system devices. If errors in Device Manager are present, reinstall the Intel® Chipset Driver Software. If drivers are required for the USB device, make sure you have the latest driver from the device manufacturer. Check that USB is enabled in BIOS. Note: The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. Do not download this utility if your device manufacturer is recommending it to correct an 'AGP driver,' 'AGP GART,' or 'USB driver' issue; it will not correct your issue. Read attached readme and release notes files before installing. Keywords: 82801, ICH, MCH.

Troubleshooting

1/ Device is not recognized at all

• These drivers are only for Intel® devices. If you’re using a device from one of our OEM, please get the drivers directly from their web site, or you can use the list of links provided by Google here.

2/ I have errors in Windows Device Manager

• Open Windows Device Manager:
  • You may see USB Mass Storage instead of ADB Device. If it’s the case, right click on Mass Storage device icon and select ‘Uninstall’.
    Then unplug your device from the computer and install drivers’ setup again.
  • You may see Android Device with yellow warning icon. If it’s the case, right click on Android Device icon and select ‘Uninstall’.
    Then unplug your device from the computer and install drivers’ setup again

3/ I can see Portable Device but no Android Debug Bridge (ADB) profile

You may have not enabled “USB Debugging” option.
The developer options on your phone are hidden by default. Open the settings on your phone, and find the About section. Look through it until you see the 'Build number' entry. Tap it five times in quick succession, and you should see a small dialog letting you know that you're now a developer.
Come back to Settings main menu and go into Developer Options, then enable USB Debugging.

4/ I’m old school and still using Windows XP. When I activate MTP there is no pop-up to allow me to access phone file system or transfer media files.

MTP is not supported by default with Windows XP. You have to install Windows Media Player 10 or later.

About this file/download

Intel Usb 2.0 Device Driver For Windows 7

The Intel Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.
Note: The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. Do not download this utility if your device manufacturer is recommending it to correct an 'AGP driver,' 'AGP GART,' or 'USB driver' issue; it will not correct your issue.

Read attached readme and release notes files before installing.
