[Q] Q: ZEKI 10" Tablet -- Can't get ADB to work - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a ZEKI 10" TBQC1063B tablet. It apparently an updated version in that it now comes with Google Play Store app installed from the factory. It has Android 4.1.1.
I started to try to Root the device, but was unsuccessful.
In my quest to debug Rooting, I started trying playing with ADB directly. I quickly discovered I could not get to 'first base' with ADB.
Yes, I have USB DEBUGGING enabled, and when my tablet is plugged into my PC, the tablet shows that icon of the Android face in the status line in the lower right screen.
I started to try different drivers (reading that such might be the cause of ADB not working), even though all of the appear to be working OK when I check in Device Manager. One of the attempts I made at drivers led me to those offered as part of PDAnet. While using PDAnet's drivers didn't seem to help, I did stumble upon a CLUE. The CLUE is that while installing the PDAnet drivers, PDAnet did successfully install its own app onto my tablet. I think that such requires ADB to work, no? Could someone confirm such (or not)?
I tried a PC program called AdbDriverInstaller. When I first tried it, it reported a Device Status error of "Driver Incorrectly". So, I uninstalled that driver (I belive at that point it was the PDAnet one), and installed a new driver from a collection called UniversalAdbDriverSetup6. Now, that looked better. AdbDriverInstaller now shows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Looking better?
My problem is that ADB DEVICES still shows no devices:
Does anyone know of anything else to try? This is about the limit of my expertise.

Try!
You can try using different port...i suggest you clean up all the Drivers and then install them correctly!:silly:

Thanks, but I am not sure what you mean,
After trying each driver, I uninstalled and delete it. Is there something else I should be doing to "clean up" ?
How do you install them correctly, other than simply installed them? Device Manager seems to think the ADB device is working correctly.,

Unplug your tablet then reconnect it.
Type in cmd prompt:
Code:
adb kill-server (Hit ENTER)
adb start-server (Hit ENTER)
You should see your device..
Also, this is a good tool..makes adb system wide as well HERE
Also, not sure when Android implemented this, you might see a box up asking for you to grant the PC permission to use ADB, grant it

I unplugged and plugged my tablet in a few times (over a course of several days while I tried to debug this on my own). Both my PC and my tablet have been powered on/off and rebooted over that time too.
I believe I showed I ready tried those commands, with no success.

Any roms available? This one seems to be stuck. I can get to the boot list, but haven't found a new rom for it. Or even the factory rom.
