How To Update Google Glass Driver (Connect To Window 7)

After connecting the Google Glass to computer, you need to do few to make it enabled in Android Studio. I write this Tutorial during I am doing some try and error, hence you might see I am not doing it in chronological method. Let’s Start.

Go to Start > Run > Device Manager

Picture below show the list of devices attached in the device manager . If you see my Glass 1 show some caution which meaning need to update .

The “Right Click” on the “Glass 1” device,” Update Driver Software”. The you need to browse where is the driver location.

We need to insert the directory of “Android/sdk/extras/google/usb_driver”

Update Glass1 : Browse from computer

“C:\Users\Masso\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver”

Ok let see if we managed to update update driver or not with command prompt . If you having problem with the adb devices not recognized, please check your environment system.

Run CMD

Insert --> “adb.exe devices”

Because of the “android_winusb.inf” is not update yet. Hence the device is unauthorized.

Then I need to edit something.

Copy this

;Google Glass

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11&REV_0216

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&REV_0216

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&MI_01

to these two sections:

[Google.NTx86]

[Google.NTamd64]

After editing the “android_winusb.inf” at directory “Android/sdk/extras/google/usb_driver” the List of devices attached will show device not unauthorized anymore.

If your Android Studio still not detecting the Google Glass this might because of your computer need a driver signature.

To encounter the driver signature problem you need to reboot computer and go to Advanced Boot Options .

Press F8 or any key to get into Advanced Boot Options

Then ->

Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

Then connect the Google Glass device and open Android Studio .

Connect device
Turn on debugging mode in Google Glass
Open Android Studio and go to Android Monitor usually at the bottom..

How to Turn On debugging mode in Google Glass ?

You have to do something like this on every Android device you use for development of your apps so this might be familiar. To enable debug, swipe to “Settings” -> “Device info” and then tap to open device menu. Select “Turn on debug” and it will be enabled.
