Flash Professional CS5 and CS5.5 include a series of drivers for some of the most common devices. However, this list is not a complete list of drivers for all known devices.
Note: These drivers are for Windows only. If you are running a Mac, it's unnecessary to install any drivers, as the general troubleshooting techniques above should work. If your device is not found using the process below, visit your device manufacturer's website to obtain the correct drivers.
Follow the instructions below to find and install the driver for your device:
Connect your Android device to your computer's USB port.
Windows tries to install the driver software. If it fails with a "No Driver Found" error, proceed to the next step.
Right-click Computer on the desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Device Manager in the left pane of the Computer Management window.
Locate Other devices and right-click your device and select Update Driver Software.
A prompt asks how you want to search for the driver software. Select Browse My Computer For Driver Software.
Click Browse and browse to <Flash Installation Folder>\AIR2.6\install\android\usb_drivers\. Select Include Subfolders.

When Windows 7 asks if you'd like to install the device software, click Install to install the driver.
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows detects the device and launches the Found New Hardware wizard.
Select Install From a List Or A Specific Location (Advanced) and click Next.
Select Include This location In The Search and click Browse and navigate to <Flash Installation Folder>\AIR2.6\install\android\usb_drivers\.
Click Next. If Vista prompts you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation, confirm it to install the driver.
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows detects the device and launches the Found New Hardware wizard.
When Windows XP asks to use Windows update to search for the driver, select No, Not This Time and click Next.
Select Install From a List Or Specific Location (Advanced) and click Next.
Select Include This Location In The Search and click Browse. Navigate to <Flash Installation Folder>\AIR2.6\install\android\usb_drivers\.
Click Next to install the driver.
Plug the device to the computer via USB.
Launch the command window on Windows (Start menu, type cmd in the Search for programs or files field), or Terminal on Mac OS (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal).
Run the following command: adb devices
Note: adb is installed in AIR2.6/lib/android/bin.
Verify that the device is listed, and that it does not say Offline (It should be listed as something like "015DC3C60101702E device"). If it's not listed or shown as offline, try turning the USB debugging ON, or OFF and then ON (see steps above).
On the device, click the Home button and then choose Options > Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
Run adb -devices again. If it still doesn't show or show as offline, check to see if you have the driver installed. Also check to make sure that the USB connection is set to Charge only (see steps above).
