[Q] ADB not working (OSX) - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a rooted thunderbolt and ADB is not working doesn't matter which rom I'm on and yes I have USB debugging checked. I want to revert to stock but am afraid to start without a functioning adb.
thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem. I got it to work about a week ago by uninstalling easytether lite, and just a couple days ago adb was working one time (completely randomly), but now it doesn't work again

I rooted with ADB and then didnt use it for awhile. When I went back to it, after a new ROM I noticed it wouldn't connect. Not sure why. USB Mass Storage also is a little funny.
Try this:
Plug phone into computer and choose Internet pass through mode,
Wait 10 seconds
Then change to Charge only for ADB, or Disk Drive to Mount, Then it should work.

[q] help needed asap!

ok first off thanx for all the help that you all have took time out for while i was trying to root my aria, but now my friend wants me to root his, and he's on his way to the apartment now, so i need to kno do i need to do the driver steps again or can i just connect his phone to my comp and run unrEVOked? PLEASE HELP ASAP!
the drivers are just for your computer so it can talk to your phone. As long as you didnt uninstall them from the computer you should be fine with just connecting the phone and running unrevoked.
EDIT: Remember to make sure his phone has USB Debugging enabled too.

[Q] Rooting Aria with 2.2.2

there are many topics out there right now guiding people through this but I'm a bit confused with what actually needs to be done to root the aria currently.
I would like to root and run CM7 on my Aria which is currently running stock FroYo 2.2.2. Do I need to s-off first, then use unrevoked or am I able to follow a video guide such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwDNRQelpr4 and be done? Then how would I go about getting CM7 on the phone...?
First time rooting.
Sorry I'm just confused and want to make sure I have a current answer for this before starting.

Glad you were successful, but actually you don't have to turn off USB debugging when using Android Flasher.
it wouldnt read it for me if the debugging was on. as soon as I turn off usb debugging my laptop says there is a usb mass storage device connected but when usb debugging is on, there is nothing visible. oh well, it ended up working fine.
I actually ran into the same problem yesterday. Even tried two separate machines before trying to turn off usb debugging. It's weird because I've never had a problem before.

[Q] GT-P7510: 4.2.2(Nightly) Computer Doesn't Recognize USB Connection

I have search through the threads and have been unable to find a solution. So here is what I have.
Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 WIFI only AT&T
4.2.2 (cm-10.1-20130614-NIGHTLY)
I have been unable to convince my tablet or computer to to accept a USB connection from my tablet to my computer. The computer won't charge my tablet or open the connection to transfer files.
Yes. I have done Settings/Storage/Top Right 3 Dots/USB computer connection/Media device (MTP) [Check],. when I do this it just becomes unchecked when I move out of the menu and back in.
Yes. My cable works just fine. I charge my tablet in an outlet just fine,. and I have tried a different cable with the same results.
Yes. My USB on my computer works just fine. It recognizes my Galaxy SII just fine.
Has anyone experienced this and if so what options or solutions do I have? If there are no solutions to remain on 4.2.2,. how can I revert back to 4.2.1 at this point?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond!

To charge the tablet, you have to open terminal emulator or adb
Type su
Then: echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
Now usb charging will work
I thought the MTP checkbox glitch was already gone? This problem occured several months back, i never had this issue since i never unchecked MTP, i think poeple flashed back to stock,checked the mtp box, and then back to cm10.1, then it was fixed, correct me if i'm wrong

If your pc wont recognize your tablet in download mode you have:
1. Not the right drivers installed
2. Your data cable has gone bad.
Your tablet should be recognised on your pc in download mode. Check if adb recognise your tab
You can find stock ROMs on sammobile.com

1. Did you have ADB and fastboot drivers installed?
2. Did you enable USB Debugging?
3. Use USB cable that came with your phone.

Search for your LG's drivers at their website or around the net and install.

Flash stock ROM here: http://www.mylgphones.com/sprint-lg-optimus-g-ls970-software-update-ls970zvc.html
Or I'm wrong?
I don't know why my device won't be recognized I heard it might be a kernal from another thread with a similar situation.

Man you really don't have a clue do you!!
Why in hell would you need OTG to flash a rom? Do you even know what OTG is?
Stop ignoring people that give you the solution too. It's really bad manners.
So download the stock rom and flash it.
You should spend a day reading up first before you damage the phone permanently.
Sorry if not being clear I have been listening my phone has a hardware issue and I'm not to much of a noob have tried each comment. I'm not to nooby but I have downloaded the drivers my device is not being recognized correctly I have a hazardous icon in device manager on my android phone lg ls970. My phone does not support otg I'm trying to install .zips through a flash drive and otg cable. I'm sorry if waisting peoples time with my apparently nooby question. Please c correct me if I'm wrong thanks for the support.
Let me be clearer I'm sorry for not spelling it out well enough. I have installed drivers many times I have installed the driver however my phone is not being recognized correctly I have uninstalled and tried again. Otg which I looked it up pretty handy in these situations, doesn't work for this phone (due to outputting)I had a cm10.2 kernal which may have had something do do with this. I have come to believe that its a hardware problem with the female port I will try again on another computer tomorrow and see.
What I want to know is why it still recognizes something and if its fixable?
Thx
I have fixed thanks luqman98 it was a problem with windows not allowing me to install drivers due to 8.1 update

Unlock old Galaxy Nexus

Hello,
I just found my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone and now want to secure at least the photos that are on it.
The phone itself seems to work, I installed a Custom ROM (ParanoidAndroid 3+) back then. My main problem now is that I of course forgot the unlock pattern and would like to know if there is any way to avoid or push the pattern? The other problem is, that my laptop does not recognize the phone since it is locked and in the only-charging mode I guess.
So my apporach would be to first manage that the laptop somehow recognize the smartphone, so then I can get access to it. I already saw some possiblities to push the pattern.
Do you have a little hint for me how to get my old photos from that phone?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Can you access the phone via ADB - what requires ADB got enabled on phone and ADB-driver is present on Windows PC?
I am not 100% if ADB is installed on the phone itself. However, since i installed a custom ROM, shouldnt ADB be activated?
I tried to access the phone via ADB already, but got stuck at the point where my laptop would not detect the phone (besides going into charge mode).
Maybe I should set up ADB once again, and try again!

Try to re-flash phone's Stock ROM.
BTW: ADB by default is part of any Android OS. Never heard it isn't so.
