Please Let me Know if there are any errors. Note (Now Works with Mac, Windows, and Linux Thanks to John Hale)
NOTE dont forget to chmod +x the .sh file for mac and linux. I dont run mac and linux myself so testing the tool is difficult for me.

Go to manager and then device manager. Then click on the device and manually update the drivers you should be able to pick a driver. Find on that says android adb and install it. then see if it works fine not then try another adb driver. I have a bunch on my computer from all the devices I have. Also have you tried my driver install it is part of this tool.
