I can't get ADB working on my Android devices (Win 7 64-bit) - frustrating



Hi guys, I've been tearing my hair out for the past 24hrs trying to get ADB to communicate with my devices (Amazon Fire tablet + Nexus 5x).

I've installed ADB and drivers for my devices. They currently show up as Android Device > Google Nexus ADB Interface (ClockworkMod driver installed) and Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface (Amazon.com driver installed).

I have enabled ADB on my Amazon Fire tablet (5th Gen - 5.1.3) and USB debugging on my Nexus 5x.

When I run ADB, all it sees is my Fire tablet but says "unauthorized" next to it.

On both devices, when plugged into the computer via USB, I get no message about enabling the computer to access the device etc. They just sit there, charging with "USB Debugging Connected" on both devices.

Could someone point me in the right direction to get ADB communicating properly with both devices? I originally wanted to use it to root my Fire Tablet to load a different OS on to it, so I used my Nexus 5x to see if that could communicate with ADB but it appears that neither do.... properly anyway.

Another flag that I'm wondering is that in Device Manager, I do have an exclamation mark next to a USB controller - I've found drivers for it (Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller) - but it came up with an error saying the device cannot start (code 10) - I don't think this is anything to do with my issue as the drivers are installed correctly it appears for the Android devices.

Thanks a lot in advance. :)
