I had this generic android 4.1 tablet device from work (a very cheap one) and I need to try and install my multi-device cordova app on this tablet but unfortunately there is no USB device driver available anywhere including the manufacturers website. I can't deploy my app without installing the USB driver first. So what I did is I followed an advice from this link - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17509422/android-device-is-not-connected-to-usb-for-debugging-android-studio/22887262#22887262 and added the device ids of the tablet into the file called "android_winusb.inf" at C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\. The entries I've added look like this:
;Pioneer Dreambook 7
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&REV_0231&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E22&MI_01
This works well with my generic tablet and I was able to install my app.
By the way you can view your device driver id by going to the "device manager" and looking for the "Unknown Device" with warning sign or an exclamation point. Right click on it and select 'Properties' and go to the 'Details' tab. Then under the 'Property' drop down menu, select hardware IDs.
