Now do as the instructions say above, of course customizing the lines you add the the INF file with those relating to your own phone, not the Nexus 10. You want to copy the value that it changes to when the USB debugging is ON) (Note if you do this out of turn, the HW ID will be different with the phone USB debugging turned off. On that icon select Properties, Details, and under the pull down, select Hardware IDs and copy down what you see.įor Redmi Note I get: USB\VID_2717&PID_1218&REV_0216&MI_00 Right click on the icon under Portable Devices. Now, without doing anything to the phone (it should be already in USB debug mode) go back to the Portable Devices in Device Manager and right-click the HM Note or whatever phone you are working with that is listed there without the exclamation mark (listed under Portable Devices).

Notice that an additional item appears as an undefined device now in the device manager list, it will have the yellow exclamation mark and it may not have the same name of the phone listed as you saw under Portable Devices. Go to the phone and switch on USB Debugging in the Developer section of your phone. This will appear when the USB cable is first plugged in and appears as a device icon under Control Panel, Device Manager, Portable Devices, HM Note(or the device you are working with). First of all if you connect the device with USB cable and USB Debugging off, you will see that Windows 8 loads a generic driver for you to copy on/off files to the phone and SD storage. I am certain it is the same with all MI phones or maybe for all non-Google mfg phones, I am not sure.


For the Redmi Note ADB drivers, you have to go through this hoop.
