[Q] Inc not recognized by ADB on Mac

Hey all,
My Incredible won't be recognized by ADB on my Mac through the terminal. I type in "adb devices" and it returns "List of connected devices" but doesn't actually list anything. If I try something like "adb shell" it says "error: no devices connected". What could the issue be?? I have a PC as well and ADB works fine on the PC.
If it helps at all the phone is recognized through fastboot on my Mac but I can't perform any operations... I tried to flash a new recovery through fastboot and when I tried to do "fastboot erase recovery" it returned something like "erase recovery failed status malformed"...
Thanks!

debug turned on? Thought that it needed to be adb

Yeah debug is on.... also in case it didn't go without saying I'm rooted.
Hope someone can help with this!

Thanks for the advice, but I had already followed those directions when installing the SDK. As I said, the phone is recognized just fine on a Windows machine so I can only assume it's some setting that's perhaps incorrect on my Mac? Maybe in System Prefs?
I dunno. It isn't the biggest deal but it'd be nice to be able to use the ADB on my Mac without needing to boot up the PC. Thanks!

Are you positive your path is correct..... and if it is check and make sure there are no spaces or weird characters....

was it working before and it stopped working? I noticed that my Mac doesn't recognized the phone every once in a while with CM7 and the Incredikernel. I have to unplug it and plug it back in couple times to get it to register.

I'm pretty sure it's correct because the Terminal recognizes the "adb" commands as valid. For example, I can run "adb shell" and it returns "error:device not found". So I don't think that's the issue...

The thing is, the computer recognizes the phone just fine. I can plug it in and select "disk drive" and both the phone and SD card mount without an problem. But when I try to run adb commands that's when it doesn't seem to see it for some reason.... I really don't get why this could be, when without changing a single setting on the phone it works fine on a PC. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't know what that might be.....

forgive me if im asking a dumb question im just trying to help you narrow down your problem,,,,,, did you check and make sure usb debugging is checked? and if you type adb devices what does it say? ive noticed on the newer sdk that i installed they moved adb to platform tools and out of tools so you might check those things

Yeah, USB debugging is checked... when I type "adb devices" I get "List of devices attached" and it doesn't actually list anything. And yeah, the Terminal is definitely pointing to the right folder, I don't think I'd be getting any sort of response if it was pointing towards the wrong place, right?
ADB definitely works. It just doesn't like my phone for some reason

Well it definitely works on OS X 10.6 that's what my laptop uses. Have you tried parallels or bootcamping into a version of Windows? My work iMac is a piece of dirt and does not like adb thru mac os x but works fine with win xp on parallels.

Yeah, I'm running 10.6 on my laptop as well... right now for when I want to use ADB I've just been running XP on my bootcamp partition, which works fine. It's not the worst solution in the world, but I'd prefer being able to do it on the Mac side of things, which is where I spend far more time.
This is very mysterious....

[Q] Can't get ADB to work, have tried everything

Hi All.
I'm hoping you can help - I've searched far and wide (including the awesome little "Here are the similar threads we found" box that appears when you create a thread) with no luck.
Basically, my phone is as in my signature, but I can't get ADB to work. I go "adb devices" and it doesn't list anything. adb.exe is working, and I can access it and everything via command prompt, but no dice on actually using it.
Not sure if this is helpful or related, but fastboot works 100% perfectly which is what confuses the heck out of me.
I'm running Win7-64Bit. The only abnormality is that Device Manager lists "Android Phone" as an unknown device, yet I can mount USB storage (both in Recovery and when booted into Android) and access the SD-Card.
Trying to locate drivers for "Android Phone" via Windows Update, as well as looking in "C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver" doesn't assist (drivers are in the directory). Not sure if that is related, but it might be.
Thanks for any and all replies

I'm afraid windows 7-64 bit appears to be the problem. I have the same problem but, as yet, not the solution. If you have access to a computer running a different version of windows you should be able to get it to work on there!
Sorry i can't be any more help.

Windows 7 64-bit IS working - I am using it and it works without problems.
Do you have USB Debugging enabled in Settings > Application > Development?

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.
I definitely have USB Debugging enabled - I also am 100% sure that I have installed the hboot driver before (I did it when rooting for the first time ages ago), and can confirm this by booting into Bootloader and having "Android Bootloader Interface" appear as a known device.
Also, with the HBOOT-Driver, it lists the phone as "Android 1.0" when Unknown, whereas my situation lists "Android Phone" as the unknown device.

Same here.

Have you added the environment variable for the sdk directory? It won't work if you don't.

Also.. install .. HTC Sync.. .and try.. and again uninstall only HTC sync.. and leave the HTC driver and try

I've had issues getting it working too and haven't quite figured out the sequence to get it to work. All I remember is the Android SDK drivers don't work, you need to use the HTC ones. You don't need to uninstall HTC Sync (try re-installing it though). You might then need to run update drivers on the unknown device for it to find them.
I can confirm that it does work with HTC Sync still installed. I sometimes find ADB devices takes a few attempts or restarting ADB to actually work.

However, even if I cd in CMD to the platform-tools folder and run adb from there, no luck. ADB itself works perfectly, but it just doesn't recognize my phone.

What i meant is that windows 7 seems 64bit seems to cause more problems than any other windows os. I had a windows 7 64bit computer and after days of pratting about i managed to get it working now, further down the road, and a bit more knowledgable(i think!) i have a new more powerful windows 7 64bit machine and i can't for the life of me get it working.
I know run adb from my wifes vista laptop and had no trouble whatsoever in setting this up.

If u tried "everything", u better don't ask for more ;-p

It worked for me last time, but then I formatted my drive, and now can't get it to work for the love of god. Actually I can, but I have to change the driver every time Android phone pops up in the device manager using have disk.

[Q] adb devices (via USB) shows as offline

New device. Odin works, USB storage works, TCP adb works, charging works. Have the latest drivers, which worked fine on the previous device (new device is a closed box warranty replacement). Device shows up in adb devices as "device", but adb freezes when attempting to push or shell. On super rare occasion, I get a shell prompt, but adb freezes immediately. Oftentimes, it shows up as "offline" instead. Have tested numerous cables, numerous USB ports. Reinstalled drivers, reflashed device in odin, reinstalled adb, redownloaded oneclick. Nothing works. Already went through other threads covering the same topic for numerous other devices. What am I overlooking?

Oneclick does not work anymore, not for Gingerbread. Other than that....try and let Windows find and install the drivers from Windows Update.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Meant the tweaked adb in oneclick. I tried to remove the drivers, and let windows search through update, but still no dice. The phone shows up in device manager, is recognized by odin for download mode, and windows as a storage device. However, adb still won't recognize it other than in an offline state.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have USB debugging on right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Launch ddms.bat from \android-sdk-windows\tools
See if the DDMS application recognizes the device there. If not, then you need to enable USB-debugging and/or try different USB ports (but you said you did the latter already). I found that I must use USB ports directly attached to the motherboard for doing anything with my phone.

@kenny: Yup, USB debugging is enabled.
@nikon120: There's no tool dir, but there is platform-tools. There's no ddms in it.

Hmm, then I gather you don't have the SDK installed. I was just on SDK revision 10 and the folder was there. I also just uninstalled revision 10 and my older JDK installation to do a fresh install of the latest JDK and Android SDK. The tools folder is in this latest install too.

If odin works, just odin cwm 5.0.2.7, then flash su.zip which roots you.

My apologies. "tools" was marked as hidden, and not showing during "dir" in command prompt. I did locate and launch ddms.bat. It shows the device as online, but unresponsive. If I close it, and kill-server, and relaunch, it shows the device as offline.
xboxfanj, I already have CWM flashed, and the device rooted, via Odin. What I'm trying to do is use shell/push.

That's why I inquired whether or not DDMS was recognizing your phone or not. Your reply was that it showed as offline, and that is a good indication as to why adb isn't working for you.
Outside of the phone not having USB debugging enabled, the only other reason I can think of your cause is device drivers for the phone. You said you've already reinstalled the phone drivers and no difference, so you may want to try on another computer or maybe a virtual machine.

1)Unplug the usb and plug it back again.
2)Go to the Settings -> Applications -> Development of your device and uncheck the USB debugging mode and then check it again back!
3)Restart the adb on your PC. adb kill-server and then adb start-server
4)Restart your device and try again.

AT&T S3 not seen by ADB

Ok... i've gone through the steps in the one thread to get the phone rooted and everything without tripping the flash counter. At least the rooting with ODIN part. Been trying to flash CWM Touch for it, but for the life of me can't get the S3 to enter debugging mode over USB so that it can be seen by ADB to do so. I have Debugging over USB checked in the settings on the phone, i've rebooted the phone several times... it just never seems to enter debugging mode (or at least not like on my old Atrix 4G, where it actually told you in the notification bar that debugging was enabled).

It doesn't say debugging enabled. Do you have Kies installed? If so make sure it isn't running. Plug in the phone and type adb devices. If detected adb will report a serial number.

I had installed Kies... tried hooking it up, still wouldn't list in ADB. uninstalled Kies, but kept the drivers installed. And i only mentioned the idea of it saying Debugging enabled when you connect the USB cable because my Atrix 4G said that every time from the get-go.

Also odd.... looked into the SuperUser app... and the log shows several allowed access attempts from "shell"... yet never seemed that way in ADB.

I had the same problem... try going in to the "services" settings and update the driver to Android ADB composite. Other than that, my suggestion is to make sure Kies finds the drivers for both Camera mode and USB mode by toggling the selection while plugged in to Kies.

Your last resort would be to remove the drivers and reinstall them... Don't install Kies...

Or do you think i might have better luck in Ubuntu? Have that installed on my desktop as well.
edit: well... that's odd. booted into Ubuntu, installed the linux Android SDK and everything, got everything set up. opened the terminal, and just checked the devices without being in the ADB Shell... and a device showed up. launched the adb shell... checked devices again... nothing showed up, as on Windows. Figured what the hell, and did the command to install the recovery, and it worked.

It seems to be a driver issue, kies interfering, or a component is missing, or all of that, so I'd start your windows driver and software over fresh...
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall the drivers
Reboot
Install the drivers
Install the Java JDK (64bit has never worked for me, even though the drivers are 64bit)
Install the Android SDK
Use the Android SDK to get the Platform Tools and the Google USB Driver
than adb devices should show a phone

sometimes ADB Devices returns nothing for me, but theres a phone there, it would say nothing connected or to some effect if it didn't find anything...

Yea... every time i entered "adb devices" in the Windows command prompt, it always said "List of detected devices" or whatever it says, but nothing would be there, and if i tried the command to install the recovery it would say it was not a valid directory or whatever. Didn't show up on Ubuntu either, but it still worked...

EDIT/UPDATE: I was using a USB 3.0 port which apparently ADB didn't like (though ODIN rooting on that USB port worked fine...). I switched to another USB port and suddenly it worked!
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I guess it's better than creating a new one for the same purpose...
Doesn't seem like this was resolved and I haven't been able to get my S3 to connect to ADB. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
I had this driver already installed:
ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0
I enabled USB debugging and it wouldn't connect. I installed Kies, still wouldn't connect. I uninstalled the driver and Kies and rebooted. Reinstalled "ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0", installed the Google USB driver, still won't connect.
I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to see any sort of notification in my bar showing that USB debugging mode has been executed but I'm definitely not getting anything like that.
Code:
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
891b0876 offline
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

Yea, when i finally was able to use ADB to push a recovery onto my S3, it never actually showed up if i checked the devices in ADB Shell. Well... it DID, but not if i already typed the SU command before "adb devices".

hey guys
i have same problem i wanna adb my galaxy s3 rogers (att) i am trying to do the root no tripping flash counter so i got to the adb shell part
i dont know what else to do to make my computer recognize my phone ??
i installed sdk and extract/installed it in the c:\android folder of my comp i let sdk installed all the things it needs to took a while
so whats left? i have my phone usb connected to comp and debuging on i type adb shell it says adb is not recognized internal or external command???
do i need to have somthing open on the phone b4 openning command?
pleaaase help lol

You need to navigate to the folder where adb is actually located (platform-tools)

You don't have to use adb, you can use the same commands on terminal emulator

Yes I have install Google universal usb drivers worked for me search on Google for them

PTP worked for me, no LG driver installed.

Just got my G3 on Verizon, cannot see the device over ADB either on Mac OSX
I tried MTP, PTP, and Charge only both with and without LG drivers installed. Since it's OSX, there are no Google Universal USB drivers.
Android File Transfer opens up fine, but ADB doesn't show the device. Quite fishy indeed.

Hi there, you will first need to enable USB Debugging. Head over to Settings > General > About Phone > Software Information. Tap Build Number 5 times, and you'll unlock the Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, and check USB Debugging. From there, ADB should work. Good luck!

OK, so I installed the new drivers, rebooted, and got ADB to recognize my LG, and was able to debug successfully. Now Android File Transfer doesn't see it, nor does Finder show the device. What am I missing?

It's broken, I saw a tweet from jcase regarding the issue. I have the same problem. I just adb push/pull when necessary for now.

I know this is a seriously old thread, but for future reference - if your device is NEVER recognised by adb from the start, no matter how much you add the vendor etc, open up Terminal.app and type this in:
cd ~/.android/
rm adbkey adbkey.pub
This will navigate to android's folder and remove the RSA keys your computer uses to identify with the phone. If the address of the folder is wrong you can alter the first line to whatever is appropriate.

Seriously old, and seriously unresolved (for me and a few people on reddit, at least). Still have not succeeded at getting ADB to detect G3 on USB, tried running the -usb flag on the cli and everything. Is there a working process yet? Verizon seems to be the outlier here as well...

Just worked for me on OSX Yosemite with a D855 on V10l:
- Update ADB (android platform tools)
- Install LG Driver (link is in this thread)
- Reboot
- run "rm ~/.android/adbkey" and "rm ~/.android/adbkey.pub"
- run "adb devices" (you should now see your G3)
- run "adb kill-server" (just to make sure there is no interference)
- quit all applications on your phone and go to home screen
- run "purpledrake_osx.command" which should now work
Inbetween (guess it was directly after running "purpledrake_osx.command") you should get a permission request on your phone which you should allow

Thanks

Thanks, this works for me on El Captain

Also on El Capitan:
After enabling developer settings + USB debugging on phone (see earlier in thread),
Removing the adbkey + pub from the users .android folder (see earlier in thread),
and connecting with PTP,
It finally works
