Installing Android ADB driver in Windows 8.1 64-bit when all else failsFor some reason I just couldn't get my machine to recognize Xperia J in Windows 8.1 64-bit. Even after installinglatest Sony PC Companion (2.10.174). Device Manager kept showing yellow exclamation mark to an 'Android'.
Here's the solution, but I don't promise it will work on your device!
1. Open Device Manager, right-click that Android with yellow exclamation mark and click Properties.2. Go to Details tab.3. In Property, select Hardware Ids.4. Right-click the value and click Copy.5. Paste the value somewhere.
1. Run Android SDK Manager.2. Expand Extras, tick Google USB Driver, click Install packages.
3. After installation, look for the driver location by hovering mouse over Google USB Driver. The location willappear in the tooltip.
1. Go to the usb driver location, for example in the above picture it is c:\Android\android-studio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
1. Find out your device's VID and PID
2. Download Android USB Driver
3. Modify android_winusb.inf

2. Make a backup copy of android_winusb.inf3. Open android_winusb.inf with a text editor. Notepad is fine but Notepad++ is better, it will syntax highlight
the inf file!4. Look for [Google.NTx86], and insert a line with your device's hardware ID that you copied above, for
example
[Google.NTx86]
; ... other existing lines
;SONY Sony Xperia J%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01
5. Look for [Google.NTamd86], and insert the same lines, for example:
[Google.NTamd64]
; ... other existing lines
;SONY Sony Xperia J%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6188&MI_01
6. Save the file.
1. Run Command Prompt as an administrator2. Paste and run the following commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKSbcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
3. Restart Windows.
1. Open Device Manager, right-click that Android with yellow exclamation mark and click Update DriverSoftware.
2. Click Browse my computer for driver software.3. Enter or browse to the folder containing android_winusb.inf, eg: C:\Android\android-
studio\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver4. Click Next.5. The driver will install.6. Run adb devices to confirm your device is working fine.

Gosh, maybe you can skip that bcdedit section and see what happens.

Leif, I had the same problem attempting to use the bcdedit command. To disable driver signing, follow theprocedure described here instead: http://revryl.com/2013/08/06/install-unsigned-drivers/
worked for me with no issue after adding my hardware ids to the .inf file per step 3 above. Good luck!

Leif, have you tried running cmd.exe as an administrator?

Just wanted to say that this post helped greatly, but I don't get the whole bcdedit thing. I had 2 devices that I needed tostart working on my new computer. For the phone, I used this method with the bcdedit command and restarting to get itto work. But for the tablet, I followed a similar tutorial found here http://stackoverflow.com/a/19839812/2089675. Andwithout the whole command line fiasco, the tablet started working as well.

Thanks a lot. It works!!! BTW, in 3rd big step, "NTamd86" in "Look for [Google.NTamd86], and insert the same lines,for example" should be "NTamd64".

Interesting, mine has only [Google.NTamd86] though
Vency Me July 10, 2014 at 7:52 PM
One more question, what is Step 6 for?
