ASUS’s own driver sometimes fails on Windows 10 for ADB mode but works for fastboot. For ADB, the Google driver is more reliable. 4. Common Issues & Fixes on Windows 10 | Problem | Cause | Solution | |--------|-------|----------| | Device shows “Android” with yellow exclamation | Windows installed wrong MTP driver | Manually force install Google ADB driver via “Have Disk” | | adb devices shows “unauthorized” | USB debugging authorization missing | Revoke USB debugging authorizations on phone, reconnect, accept RSA key | | Driver installs but no ADB connection | USB mode set to Charging or MTP only | Change USB Preferences to File Transfer (MTP) or USB tethering ; ADB works in these modes | | “Waiting for device” in fastboot | Fastboot driver missing | Use same Google USB driver; fastboot mode uses different VID/PID – Google driver includes it | 5.

Prepared for: Developer / Technical Support Device Model: ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 (X01AD / ZB631KL) Host OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit) Requirement: Enable ADB (Android Debug Bridge) communication for development, debugging, or bootloader unlocking. 1. Executive Summary Windows 10 does not automatically provide a correct ADB interface driver for the ZenFone Max Pro M2. The default USB driver (MTP or "Android ADB Interface") either fails to install or shows a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. The official solution is to use Google’s USB Driver (included in Android SDK) or ASUS’s generic USB driver for their ZenFone series. 2. Recommended Driver: Google USB Driver Source: Android SDK Platform-Tools (official from Google) Version tested: Latest (as of 2023–2026) – r35.0.2 or newer Compatibility: Works reliably with ZenFone Max Pro M2
Use the official platform-tools USB driver, manually install via “Have Disk” in Device Manager. This provides stable ADB and fastboot functionality for the ZenFone Max Pro M2 on Windows 10 (both Home and Pro editions).
