Hi folks,
recently I upgraded my personal notebook running Windows 7 to Windows 8 64-bit RTM. There was one big setback that the system did not recognize my Nexus S device as an ADB interface, so I could not use it for development. Here are the steps to bring it back to life:
Open Device Manager, then find your device in the Other devices group. Right click on it, then select the Upgrade driver software option.
Automatic search will not work (otherwise it would do the trick the first time you connected your phone to the computer), so select the second option.
Because I upgraded from Windows 7, the needed drivers are already in the system, but somehow the Windows 8 will not use them unless you tell it so. Select the second option, and on the next screen select ADB Interface.
If you installed previously the Google USB drivers from the Android SDK, there could be a lot more options in this screen. In this case browse for the Samsung drivers, and select the most recent.
That's all, happy debugging! :-)
