My infinix s2 pro x522 is nt coming up at all, so pls I need a drive to make it come up
Please follow this guide: http://freeandroidroot.com/install-adb-driver-windows-computer/
Sorry that previous comment – which I can’ edit, was a mix of two problems, half of which I solved.
I can’t attach photos, but my phone is an:
OPPO R9s. ;
Model CPH1607 ;
android ver. 6.0.1 ; ;
Build version CPH1607AU_11_A_14_170521
baseland version Q_V1_P14,Q_V1_P124
From ‘Device Manager” I get down to “Show all Devices”, Click Next.
The next screen has in the left hand window, (Manufacturer), I select OPPO, Inc
In the RH screen I select “Android ADB Interface”. and “NEXT”.
window, “Microsoft WPD Enhanced Storage Password Driver”
It seems to be installing something, but when I reboot it just comes up with a setup.exe file. I run this
It doesn’t say anything like , “Hardware to Install : Android ADB interface.”
It comes up with “Hardware to Install; Android ADB Interface”. Then “NEXT”
It comes up with a screen saying the following hardware was installed, :”Android ADB Interface”
but also “This device cannot start (Code 10)..”
Click “FINISH”.
Under Device Manager, The android ADB Interface has a yellow ! against it, which means it isn’t working.
I reboot and am directed to run a setup.exe file, but still the mobile is not recognized by the PC. It is connected via USB port which recognized other devices.
Have I not finished the installation???
Thankyou
Barry

I followed the process and had Kingoroot installed. I tried rooting the device and it keeps saying root failed. It is a cosmos V21, running android 6.0. any further help as to how to root this phone?

I agree with Phil. I won’t be buying a 4th Wiko because this is going backwards. No “Add Legacy Hardware”, can’t connect phone to PC. This should be built-in & automatic. Waste of precious time.
