ADB not recognizing device in debugging mode..Help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am very comfortable working with ADB.
For some reason I cannot get it to recognize my device for the life of me.
Dameon Running etc. etc..
and then error:device not found
Help Please

Same for me .. what's the deal with Galaxy S2

Happens to me too, sometimes, but not only for the SGS2 but for the emulator as well (says "no devices online" even though it's running).
What so far always helped me was to give the adp.exe process a headshot via the Windows TaskManager (i.e. kill the adb process) and restarting it with "adb start-server", giving it a few seconds to settle and try again.

Which drivers have you installed? The google ones or the ones from Kies? Also are you running stock or using an AOSP rom?

hi, i saw this 3rd....i have the same problem. adb doesn't recognize my Samsung GS2. I enabled the debugging mode and set up the system but adb always says "Permission Denied". I use Ubuntu 10.04.
Please need help.

Can't get ADB to work

It seems that i am not able to get ADB to work on any of the 2.1 versions i tried.
I installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the Dell PC suite.
The phone is in USB debugging mode.
My device manager is seeing "Android ADB interface" under Android phone but doing "adb devices" is showing no connected devices.
I have an at&t locked phone which i upgraded to the O2 8105 release and then downgraded back to 6941 2.1 beta release.
I had no luck getting ADB to work on either firmwares. i never tested on 1.6.
Running windows 7 64bit and also tried on Windows 7 32bit.
Nothing works.
Anyone has any idea how to get ADB working?
I am starting to think that at&t somehow blocked ADB so we wont be able to install 3rd party APK's and it is hardware blocked. My Streak is two days old so i got it from recent batch.
End task your adb.exe in task manager, locate adeproxy within the dell suite software and use that in place of adb.exe. this allowed me to get the sideload app working on 1.6.
THANKS!!!
that works. i would never figured it out myself.
So is dell doing this on purpose?
Dunno if its on purpose, some kind of driver conflict with adb itself.

ADB not working?

Im having interesting issues with getting ADB to work...
I believe i have the android SDK installed properly, i can go to the command prompt and do ADB devices no problem, however my phone does not show up. Other guides online said to make sure debugging is on, which it is, but still nothing. Can anyone suggest what i may be missing? have any of you had this problem and know how to fix it?
Try typing "adb fork-server server" then open another window and try connecting with adb again.
Had the same problem. Install Kies and let it download the needed USB drivers; helped me !
[%s] XDA APP SO TASTY WITH MY SLOW INTERNET OMNOMNOM
If i helped you, im sure its not too hard to waste 1 click over that litte pretty "Thanks" Button.

Phone not recognized by ADB

Hey guys. I'm trying to root my m8 by using the toolkit. Well, I try to get the Token ID but adb fails since it can't find any devices. I've uninstalled the drivers, re installed, tried different sources, everything and I just can't get it to be recognized by ADB.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Win8x64

I'm having the same problem

Make sure your SDK is up to date, and that you are opening the command prompt from the proper location. Also make sure that USB debugging is enabled in developer options on the device.
I've had the same issue. I did all of the above and even tried on a Mac and adb still hasn't recognized my phone. Im on win 7x64. Still researching for an answer.
I'm not sure if this will hold true for everyone, but what worked for me was to updat the adp.exe and dlls. Then after I did that, ran the get token script from the toolbox, open the phone to the home screen, and accept the connection request from the computer.
I ended up having to just start the process over again on a different computer, but it worked, so I'm happy lol.

You can also try disabling USB Debugging and re-enabling it while the USB is connected. Works for me so far

Android corrupted, reformat doesn't fix the problem????

Hey guys, new member here but been a lurker off and on for awhile.. not sure what to do, you guys are my last hope.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime from straighttalk. Android version is 4.4.4 (I think).
Anyway, I was screwing with it trying to speed it up using a few apps I downloaded from the store, the apps let you uninstall apps that the normal manager won't let you and manage what system apps are allowed to run at startup..etc. also I was messing with applock and phone encryption.. So I'm not sure what messed things up.
Well needless to say, I shoulda been more careful, because now my phone is screwed! I can't view my home screen at all so can't call/txt and can't access my settings to try to fix the problem..
Before people tell me to reformat it, I have tried 100 times.. I press volume up + power + home to get to bootloader and tried doing a full reformat as well as wiping the cache partition... Reboot phone the setup screen comes up asking for my name/google account..etc but I can't complete it, it always crashes sayin either "hangouts has stopped working" "setup wizard stopped working" or something about a android.keyguard service.
So next I jumped on Google and read to try the Kies software but I can't for life of me get it to detect my phone.. took awhile but I think I got all the drivers installed.. kies will just say it's connecting to my device but never does. Tried kies 2 and 3 and different cords, I think it's because android isn't even truly fully installed since the setup wizard crashes.. so the MTP capability isn't even there.. under my computer I don't see my phone either like I use to, just a blank drive that has no name and can't be accessed.
So then after more reading I decided to try "ADB sideloading".. I'm a newb is to this stuff so idk if I even did it right but hooked usb up went into bootloader and reformatted/cleared cache then I went to ADB and using cmd on my pc I tried to send a zip of cyanogenmod (got it on xda, suppose to work on galaxy core prime) and it said it was successful but it doesn't do anything.. so idk if it's cuz u can't use custom roms with the stock bootloader? I read about other Rom managers but how am I suppose to install them?
if a stock firmware will work, where can I find one?
Sorry for the wall of text, I'm just stuck here and wanted to add everything I could think of that I tried already.
I dont think it's a physical hardware problem, I think i just screwed some system files up somehow which screwed up the recovery partition..
Extra note:
I am able to use the internet browser though, when the setup gets to the step to link your google, in the top right I can go to "enter browser signin" and then I can bypass the fact there's no search bar by clickin privacy policy and clicking a logo to bring me to Google's homepage.
At this point I don't even care about saving data, what Rom is used or anything. Just wanna be able to text and make calls again.
Forgot to add but using the Google accounts bypass to use the browser I also tried going to google play from there and got the play app to open on my phone but it won't let me install any apps (stuck downloading forever) and will say the app isnt supported on my device even when it should be... tried the android device manager but it cant locate my phone and the reformat option there doesnt work either.

Get a custom recovery (preferably twrp) and then wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe section except your sdcard and then just adb sideload cyanogenmod or any other CUSTOM rom for your phone.
You should just be able to reload the original firmware with Odin. Or Kies will probably work, but you have to use Download Mode to be able to restore it, not while it is booted into the OS.
Thanks for the replies, bit I wish it was as easy as you guys make it sound. Kies isn't working because the MTP driver fails to install on windows no matter what mode I'm in or usb port/cord, no way to access usb settings on phone since I can't get past android setup into the homescreen. Also usb debugging is probably not enabled.. how can I enable that when I can't access settings?
I tried to install TWRP (through adb sideload since can't install anything from store) but when I do "adb devices" nothing is listed.. when I tried it on linux there WAS a device listed though so I did sudo adb sideload twrp.zip from within adb folder and it said it sent it but on my phone it says something about a error verifying it or something then it automatically tries again and says it completed and goes to reboot but it doesn't appear to have worked because there's no sign of it.. is TWRP just suppose to replace the stock bootloader if the sideload is successful? If not how do I access it? Also tried sideloading cyanogen right from the stock bootloader but get the same thing.. says it was sent 100% and phone reboots but there's no sign of it... perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
Argh so frustrating all the time I've wasted trying to fix this. I even completely wiped linux off my pc and installed windows 7 again thinking it was a compatibility problem, but now I think I just went backwards because at least on linux my phone was detected doing "adb devices"...

Yes you have to be in recovery to actually be able to do adb sideload, try adb reboot recovery.

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.
