  • The USB mode must be PTP in order for ADB to work. You can usually change this from the notification shade
  • Make sure to allow USB debugging if a pop-up appears
  • Open the platform-tools folder on your computer
  • Shift+Right Click and select Open command prompt here
  • Type adb devices and hit Enter

That’s all, good work
