-Downloaded ADB/SDK again to a different directory, same error

-Rebooted multiple times, same error off boot
-Port 5037 is not bound by any app or process
-ADB, upon failed load, is not listed in Taskmgr, nothing to kill
-Deleted temp files
-Issued at prompt: ADB Disconnect, ADB USB, ADB devices: All return same error as above
-Issued at prompt: ADB kill-server, only prompt returns
Read lots of posts on the web, nothing helps.
I am really interested in a solution and would like to understand what is causing the problem. If in fact it is a configuration issue, where is the ADB config file?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running the command prompt as an administrator.

I originally added my post to this thread in the Nook forum. I don't think there is enough expertise in that forum to help with this problem.
The bottom line is that ADB no longer works and I can't figure out why (see quoted text above). I would imagine that someone here would have an answer for this. Please help!
Thanks.

Only thing I would try it open Task Manager and go to processes and close anything that is adb or adb.exe.

In this case, ADB never starts. It does not work even after a fresh reboot. It is not found in Taskmgr nor Process Explorer.

Is what he meant was to kill any process that is using adb. This is not only a process that is Android related etc. My buddy had your exact same problem because he had his external hd connected to his computer before trying to run adb. Restarting and killing processes that were using adb on his computer did the trick. Hope this helps!

My problem was Windows

In my case, the problem was Windows Vista. From day one, Windows refused to successfully install the USB drivers for the EVO (with the very helpful diagnostic message: "Windows encountered an error installing..."). I have never been able to use adb, and this meant that all the rooting (and update/upgrade) guides that required adb had to be adapted to getting the file(s) onto the SD card, and then using Terminal Emulator (or similar app) to get the job done.
I've just completed a disk-wipe-and-reinstall of Windows on my laptop, and hope to find the time next week to install all the SDK goodies and make sure that the USB subsystem recognizes my EVO. I'm fed up with not being able to use adb, and that, along with Windows Update failing to install over a dozen security patches, finally pushed me over the edge into a re-install. Auuugh! The pain!

Interesting, but I haven't been able to find any other service that is bound to adb and I have no other USB devices connected. Thanks for chiming in though.

For me, I have been able to get two Vista and one Windows 7 computer to work with ADB and HTC drivers the first time. I also have an Epic, and the Samsung drivers installed fine as well (even though they are known to have issues).
Unfortunately, ADB just "broke" one day.
I keep thinking that the Evo community has enough brains and knowledge to sort this out quickly...

Have you updated the sdk recently?
The updated sdk moves the adb files from the tools folder to another folder called platform-tools.
I have adb working properly on both my vista machine and my ubuntu machine hosted on my vista machine.
If you have installed htc sync before uninstall it and the htc driver installer.
Redownload htc sync and the adb files (adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll is all you need). Since adb was working correctly before I'm assuming your java is installed correctly as well.
Reinstall htc sync. When that finishes I suggest a reboot. When you've rebooted uninstall htc sync but leave the htc driver installer. Reboot again.
When you've rebooted again enable usb debugging on your device and connect it to your pc choosing charge only.
This should hopefully reinstall the usb drivers correctly. On vista it installs as adb device or something along those lines.
If the drivers install correctly you should be able to run adb from the directory your two files are in (desktop for example).
If you want, send me a pm with your gtalk username and I can help you troubleshoot it.

Thanks for replying. I had already updated ADB (in platform-tools) before started having this problem. I had also uninstalled HTC sync (reboot, launch ADB w/o HTC sync, same problem) and reinstalled HTC sync, same problem. I updated Java JVM, no change. I then re-downloaded the SDK to a different directory, no dice.
I usually open a command prompt "as Administrator" and run ADB from the directory. Even with a device disconnected, I get the same error. I test this way because if I issued "ADB devices" and it returns nothing, I know it's working. It appears that ADB doesn't even start to the point to poll for devices.
I have, just for laughs, connected my device (USB debugging/charge only), but no joy.
I won't have much time to poke around more until the weekend. If I don't come up with anything, I will take you up on the gtalk. Thanks again.

Windows Vista just makes it all that much harder to fix things...

In my case, I tried all these things and many more (lived with this problem since first getting my EVO on release date in June). No dice, as Windows Vista, once it installs a device driver, doesn't give the user the option to uninstall it (by Microsoft's expressly-stated intent -- a design decision I vehemently disagree with). At least the user could repair such problems in prior versions of Windows by simply uninstalling a device, choosing "yes" to the "remove driver files from the disk" question, and (after the obligatory and ubiquitous Windows reboot) re-connect the USB device. That would start fresh with that device's driver.
I never invested the time to learn how the USB subsystem registers devices and their drivers (in Windows Vista) in order to determine how to manually remove a driver from the Windows Registry adequately that it would treat the device as "new hardware detected" upon the next connection.
Once Windows Vista has scrambled some internals in the database/registry controlling the USB subsystem's driver knowledge, you're toast. Nothing I could find in Microsoft's Knowledge Base nor MSDN shed any light on how to tackle the removal-and-recreation-from-scratch of the USB system configuration.
Microsoft's stock answer was invariably "re-install Windows". Yeah, thanks for that. Windows, even more than 26 years later, is still not a real operating system, and still has bugs dating back to Windows 3.1.
Sigh.

Check Windows Firewall service.
In my case I just turned off the Windows Firewall and it started working.

I accidently figured it out
so i was trying to find my cid number because i was flashing ICS firmware and stuff, and the adb deal in the prompt kept giving me the exact same error, and thus would'nt work. after trying everything (such as: installing drivers, killing the process, restarting my comp, reinstalling adb, etc.) for about an hour and a half, i just stumbled upon a page that was linked to in the ICS flash guide, that had a different adb folder download. this download has an entirely different effect on the command prompt and worked so i could get my cid number and rewrite superCid. here it is:

[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.

Device not recognized on ADB?

I don't want to bother you with stupid threads and things like that, but I've used the search function on XDA and I'm still lost on this really small problem - my Kindle Fire is not being recognized anymore in ADB.
See, a long time ago (few weeks) I rooted my KF and installed Android Market, whatever. Never installed a recovery or custom ROM. Everything was ok until I tried to install TWRP using Kindle Fire Utility.
While trying to install, I got the famous "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". So I thought it was something with my drivers. Ok, then I installed the drivers that come with KFU - just to screw with everything. My Kindle Fire stopped being recognized by ADB.
I tried: (1) uninstall the drivers and install from KFU again. (2) uninstall the drivers and install the drivers I got from the video-tutorial (the famous one). (3) factory reset the kindle fire and do all the drivers install again. (4) hold the power button 900 seconds to reset the kindle fire and install the drivers again. (5) finally install the drivers on ANOTHER computer (running WinXP instead of Win7) and plug my factory reseted KF.
I gave up.
I don't know why my Kindle Fire isn't recognized by ADB on any computer at all. I thought it was my laptop, but then I tried the same steps I did at the first time using a Windows XP and no good. I don't know.
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

i think xp is the better decision for such things
you can try:
power down and disconnect kf
remove any old drivers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
remove anything with adb or kindle or unknown device
replug kf without powering it on (does it by itself)
install new drivers:
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select ok and ok
or you can try this solution:

Tried that and didn't work.
I'm going to wait a little more before using Linux, I really wanted to do this using Windows only.

in what status is your kf now ?
normally booting ? - stuck at whatever ?
at xp now ?
checked the adb_usb.ini in your .android folder (in your personal folder) ? - should include 0x1949 and if you like 0x18D1 (i included it too)
to run kfu with 6.2.2 you need the patched version:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458841
would put it to something like c:\kfu cause it don't like spaces in pathname
try running install_drivers.bat from kfu

Right now my KF is normally booting into stock ROM and stock everything.
I have both computers at my disposal: Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm writing in my laptop which is the Win7.
My adb_usb.ini has only 0x1949, I'll add 0x18D1 in another line (or should I use a blank space to separe them?).
Unfortunately I can't see the link you posted because XDA says I don't have privilegies to do so. My stock ROM is 6.2.2, but I think it as always been like that, and it worked using the normal way before. Can you mirror the post on your link somewhere else? I'd love to try the patched version.

seems that the patched version (the whole thread) is deleted - you will have to do it by yourself - take the original from the dev section and:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454913

The issue persists. I've seen that other people are having the same issue. The device got "unrooted" by unknown reasons and then it's invisible to any adb. As I'm writing to you right now, I'm trying the adb on my brother's Ubuntu. I've tried other solutions using linux but without success.
I'm running out of options here.
I'll admit that I haven't tested the last link you sent, but I can't see how that can change the way adb works on my device. Anyway I'll try that tomorrow.

in the meantime br3 is out - if you use kfu you will have to use an updated run.bat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21749205&postcount=792
but you'r right - that will not change the communication
firekit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
is worth a try cause linux don't use drivers to communicate
only needs some entries which are included in firekit
maybe try an other cable ?
really running out of ideas at this point ...

If you can fix it, please show me how, thank you.

Just a quick idea. Have you tried the attach the kindle to a different USB port? I had the same issue until I used a different port. The front ports on my desktop are totally fubar, but the port where my mouse was worked when 4 out of 6 ports did not. This for me is probably a hardware problem, but it may help someone.

Similar problem with cm9, and fixed
I was using cm7 and all was well. I installed cm9 (the cm9_02_02 ROM) which supposedly had issues with SD card mounting and adb not working. (The SD problem is a regression which is fixed thusly.)
Initially, I got the "ADB server didn't ACK" message (I had recently updated the android sdk). To fix this, cd to the tools directory and
./android update usb
./android update adb
Then the server would start but wouldn't list the KF with "adb devices" command. I realized the second command had re-written the ~/adb_usb.ini. I added "0x1949" as the last line and bingo. adb does work on cm9_02_02.
YMMV, and this is on a Mac.

tried all the steps. and still nothing. dont know what im doing wrong. starting to get pissed. any help would be great, thanks

5. Executed: adb start-server

Bricked?
I think I'm having the same problem, or at least a very similar one.
Using windows XP. I got the drivers working, plugged my kindle into the Kindle Fire Utility, and ran option 2, which seemed like it was the option to create a backup in case you bricked your kindle. It ran, showed up on the Kindle screen, and did it's thing without a problem.
Then, when the kindle rebooted, I got the yellow-triangle-fire symbol. It says 'press power button for recovery', but pressing the power button does nothing. Holding it down for a long time shuts the kindle down, but pressing it again brings it right back to the yellow-triangle-fire symbol.
So I uninstalled the drivers from Windows XP (as another thread mentioned). I now have two ways that I can think of to install the drivers. Using the KFU, I get the "unsigned drivers" shutdown even after I went into the Driver Signing menu and chose "ignore and install regardless".
The other option I have is to install the drivers that I downloaded manually -- the same ones that worked in the first place. Problem with that is that I go through the entire process, selecting the directory the drivers are in and whatnot, and the only thing that happens is I get an error that says "These drivers aren't the drivers for your hardware" or something similar to that.
So neither of my options allow me to actually install drivers for my Kindle Fire, and my Fire itself is in a recovery loop. All of the tools that are supposed to address the recovery loop require drivers, so I seem to be up a creek without a Fire.
Any ideas?

Okay, to enter recovery...When you see the yellow triangle, hold the power button until it turns orange then release. It shouldn't take more than 10-15 seconds. If you still can't get into recovery, reinstall it.
For your drivers...uninstall completely and delete them if you're using Win7. Then reinstall using one of the previous methods.

The power button doesn't do anything when I push it. It stays bright green until the kindle fire shuts down. I'm not sure what "reinstall it" means, sorry, n00biness.
The drivers (winXP as mentioned) I've uninstalled, but I can't reinstall. One option says "unsigned drivers" and the other doesn't recognize the device as a Kindle and thus quits the install with a "this is not an appropriate driver for your device" message.
Thanks for trying, though! I appreciate your time and effort.

SOLVED Stick mount...?

Ok long story short. I restored. Now no recovery. No super user. Fastboot doesn't see phone but does when in regular mode. Think somehow or another during the restore my internal was mounted/un mounted or however that goes because I'm seeing files/folders within my phone that aren't there and won't let me remove because "a device is missing from the network". A folder named windows and one named edited appear when I'm connected to computer but not when i disconnect. How do i m mount/unmount so phone is read correctly? Adb works fine.
I am current and up to date with the sdk and drivers. I have fastboot installed. I know how to use it, please skip the referrals/how-to because that isn't the issue.

As for fastboot, sounds like you need to get the proper driver. It's a different interface than adb. Try the naked driver efrant links to in his 101 FAQ post.
As for the other issue, I'm not sure I follow. Using a file manager on the device, you see files/folder that "aren't there" and via adb shell you don't see them? Please elaborate.

Ok. When i attach phone to computer, my devices lists mtp device (galaxy) under portable devices and Android debug interface under Samsung phones. the window that asks what would you like to do pops up and i choose view files. There were "windows" and "edited" folders that i don't know where they came from. If i click the windows, it will list some of the pics i have on my external drive. If i dismount my external..those folders will say device not attached to network. If i plug phone in without external at all..those folders do not show up in my phones sdcard.
When i open adb from sdk/platform tools that has the fastboot driver while phone is in this strange interface and adb reboot-bootloader my phone reboots but fastboot doesn't see it and both of the adb interface and mtp device disappear and are replaced with Android 1.0 with best driver installed. since it said Android debug while on, i rebooted, did adb devices then for kicks fastboot devices and got the message fastboot does not work with production devices...meaning basically because the Android system is running. So, i.think something had been mounted/dismounted and that's why my drivers are installing backwards

I saw a thread on gto (?) And stick mount and it seems that my phone is mounting as if i had those programs. Which i don't and never had.

What do you mean by external? The gnex doesn't have an external SD. Forget browsing the /sdcard with Window explorer at this moment, let's try more robust ways first. What do you see using a file manager on your device? What do you see using adb shell? (type ls -l)
When i open adb from sdk/platform tools that has the fastboot driver while phone is in this strange interface and adb reboot-bootloader my phone reboots but fastboot doesn't see it and both of the adb interface and mtp device disappear and are replaced with Android 1.0 with best driver installed.

Yes, the adb interface device and mtp device are gone because when you are booted in bootloader the phone uses another interface (fasboot). I'm sure it says best driver installed, but if 'fastboot devices' doesn't list your device I beg to differ that's true. Manually update the driver using the naked driver version 0.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
since it said Android debug while on, i rebooted, did adb devices then for kicks fastboot devices and got the message fastboot does not work with production devices...meaning basically because the Android system is running.

Fastboot won't work if you're booted into Android OS. Again, it's an interface of the bootloader.

Oh..i just remembered..when i did have root, i had a program that would tell me system info and it listed internal memory and sdmemory. This was just before i restored.

Afaik, stick mount is an app that allows you to mount USB thumb drives with your gnex. If you don't have one of those attached and you never used this program, I doubt it's the cause or your problem.

This is not my first Android. each time i post everyone immediately refers me to a toolkit or how to on the sdk. Let's skip all that, assume I'm current and up to date and know how to use it. Now, read the post and continue from there. Not trying to be *****y, but this check drivers and fastboot banter will continue three pages.
Spawn The Dark Ages

And that's why I'm asking because that's how my phone is mounting.
Spawn The Dark Ages

I didn't refer to a toolkit or sdk. And from your post, I doubt you understand the difference between fastboot and adb, otherwise you would know trying 'fastboot devices' while Android is booted doesn't make any sense.
Either way, I don't respond well to commands when I'm just trying to help. Good luck solving this, but it will be without me.

If you read what i posted...you would see that i said "for kicks" i tried fadtboot and it didn't work obviously because Android was running.
Spawn The Dark Ages

Nor was there any command issued. It was a request to skip the usual fastboot/adb and get down to the issue...saving each one if us typing and time.
The time spent explaining i am current and up to date with everything is horrible. Only reason i did the fastboot is because i have never seen it say Android debug interface while my phone is powered on...only when it's in fastboot. Nor have i ever had it sharing files with my external hard drive...like it were stick mounted.

You obviously think you understand what you are doing, but it us clear to everyone but you that you do not. I'm not trying to be mean here, but you are not listen to everyone who has tried to help you. I have tried in your other thread, petrovski80 tried in this one, and others in your other threads that you keep creating. One: you do not have the fastboot driver installed. Period. Two: to answer your question in your other thread, once you do install the fastboot driver, you can follow any one of the multiple guides on how to get root. Three: do not trust what you see in mtp on windows - it is not refreshed properly often. Four: no matter how many android devices you have had and have rooted and no matter how many drivers you have installed in the past, you still have not done the things you need for the GNex.

Funny, because no one suggested you use the driver that came with the SDK. If you look up to post #5, you would have seen that the driver that was linked to was the one that you should have used, and you would not have had to make any changes to any setup.inf files, and your issue would have been solved a while ago.

Funny because I had multiple different ones put in my dropboxthat didn't work either. Point being the drivers were there.
And I learned something new. Win/win

ADB not seeing my Swift (retry)

Hi all, posting here because my other thread hasn't been seen.
I bought a WileyFox Swift on grey thursday and have edited my adb_usb.ini to include 0x2970, but ADB doesn't see the phone. I have rebooted the PC, run adb kill-server and adb start-server, but all the time when I run adb devices it gives the line "List of devices attached" but nothing.
I've even tried using the USB cable it comes with rather than my normal one. The problem is I'd like to run Locale More, to switch between locales (have you ever tried using the GPS in English when you are in France? Painful on the ears ), but the batch file it comes with doesn't work because it can't find the Swift either.
And yes, I've turned on developer options, etc.
I think I'd like to root as well, but that might prove difficult if ADB can't see the thing in the first place...

Update: I have found that at the least I should be able to see my phone in the Other Devices list in the Device Manager but I've got nothing, just ADB Interface

Alright I see. I am assuming you are using stock COS. So when you enable developer options and enabled android debugging your computer did not want to pick it up. Unplug device and Try revoking USB Authoriztions in developer options. plug swift back in and look at the device. It should ask you for Authroization

Thanks Yasteellutch. Still not seen by adb devices. I think I'll just clear the phone back to factory and try again...

Hi everyone,
@finnfather I think I have solved the issue. Today, I decided to manualy install (cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2FI) the latest cyanogen update as my phone didn't recive it as an OTA. I downloaded the zip package here and installed it through the stock recovery. And now, adb works! Also, this has fixed a few problems with themes. Now I can use helium! I hope this helps,
Jev

I cound manage the get a workung adb connection, buy switching adb debugging off and on again on the device while the device was connected to the pc via USB. Then I opened the device manager in windows and klicked on update driver vor the unrecogniced device. After that the device prompted a dialog, I had to accept the connection. Now the device was visible in the adb device list. (@jevtheboss: So you do not have to reinstall the cm to make it work)
