Has anyone been able to access the TouchPad running CM7 with adb over USB? I can access my Nook Color so I know the right drivers are installed on my PC, but if I plug in my TouchPad and type "adb devices", it shows no devices.
I'm actually not interested in adb for itself, but I'm trying out iDisplay as a way of using the TouchPad as an additional monitor for my work PC, and it supports both USB and wifi for connecting the virtual display. At work we're not allowed to put our own laptops, tablets, etc., on the primary network, but there is a guest network. As a result, there's no wifi connectivity between my work machine and my tablet. However, I can definitely plug it into USB. Evidently iDisplay's support for USB uses the same communication channels as adb, so if you can't access the device via adb, iDisplay can't see it either.
Can anyone give me the magic incantation for this?
Thanks!
I forced the driver(Android Composite ADB Interface) to install for hardware id USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&REV_0227&MI_01
that's for the 16GB Touchpad the 32GB should have a similar id.
If you continue having problems you'll want to mention what OS you are using and any other pertinent details...

First off, thanks guys for figuring out how to root the GP4.2. It is my first android anything after finally passing on my itouch to someone else.
I am using PCLinuxOS with gnome and my only hangup so far is trying to get the GP42 recognized as a USB MS device. Currently I am getting around this by WiFi and SFTP to the device but I would really prefer faster USB cable connections.
Plugging in the USB cable starts charging but I never get the USB MASS STORAGE app popup like I do in WinXP.
I looked on the forums here and can not find much info on the GP4.2.
Is there a toggle app for the USB MS mode that will run on this player or something built in?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Choose Mass storange
Now connect to your computer using your cable. After few seconds there will be a button on the screen, press it, now your computer should see the device's internal (and external, if exists) sd card as a normal usb flash drive.
Not quite that easy
The problem is that I am using Linux and the above only works in Windows with the Samsung Driver installed.
Linux is not triggering the popuup! I was asking if there is a way to manually trigger that very popup, because I have those settings already and it works in XP.
Perhaps there is a Call or command I can do from a shortcut or the commandline in terminal (I have busybox and a Terminal emulator on my Player).
WiFi is just SOOOOO slow!

Well, in my case it just works OK with Arch Linux and also Ubuntu.

Curious, what kernel versions?

Is it possible to have a TCP/IP access to Windows 7 PC from Android device (create a LAN between them) using just direct connection via USB cable, without wifi or bluetooth? I already have it working using wifi, but I am also interested in just USB cable way.
I do _not_ need to use PC's internet connection, I only want to access the PC itself. I want to access HTTP/FTP/SSH servers on the PC and its samba (Windows Network) shares via Android CifsManager app.
Is this possible using "reverse tethering" solution which is used to access PC's internet connectivity on Android device and uses some 3rd party app? Is there a simpler solution without using 3rd party apps? Is this possible somehow via adb?
My Android device uses Android 4.0.3 and is rooted. My Windows version is Windows 7 64-bit.

If your network adapter on the Win7 PC had the capability to send/receive TCP/IP over USB rather than a standard Ethernet cable, and a similar function is implemented to your Android device's kernel, it may(?) be possible.
I'm not entirely sure, but to do it the way you're thinking, would probably take some crazy hack involving packet readers, a stream buffer of some sort and perhaps 10 times the processing power and I/O capability of your Android device. Even then, I don't think it would be very efficient.
I may be wrong, but it doesn't seem very likely.
Hey fellow q-founder-owners,
am I right that there is no way to connect the watch to a PC for using ADB etc.?
I tried it with the charging dock and my PC didn't recognize it as a device. Of course there is the option for adb-debugging in the developer options,
but that doesn't change anything.
Also: How can I get into the fastboot section during booting up?
This watch tends so suck more and more....
I am not sure but to use adb you have to activate developer option on your phone and watch and setup an adb session over Bluetooth. http://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/bt-debugging.html
is there any news about connecting?
i still trying this too, but get no connection to my mac or windows pc -.-
Just like with other Android wear watches a USB connection requires a special cable that interfaces with the main board. Very few Android wear watches have traditional USB connectivity...
As for ADB it can be set up via Bluetooth and the Android wear app.
Thank you for this!

I normally just lurk around and not comment on things, but today this was the answer I needed! So thank you for this. I have had a couple of WearOS smartwatches in the past that I would need ADB to give permissions to with Autowear and Tasker. Normally I would just USB connect them to my computer with the charger it came with and the computer can detect them to allow me to debug them with ADB, but I just recently got the Fossil Gen 5 and the charger it came with wasn't working. The computer couldn't detect the watch connected to it through the USB charger. Using these steps to debug through Bluetooth via the phone while the phone was connected via USB to the computer worked great. I'm commenting on this so hopefully, someone like me trying to do the same thing might find this thread/post from Google Search.
Keywords for Google to pick up on - Fossil Gen 5, Autowear, Tasker, ADB
Hi all,
For some time now I've been working on Android-to-Android Tethering, which seems to be pretty difficult without 3rd party apps and/or HW peripherals (such as USB-to-Ethernet converters).
I've been working with a Rooted Samsung Tab Active 2 running Android 7.1.1 and several internet-connected devices: Samsung S8, Samsung S7 and also another Tab Active 2. All devices come with RNDIS support and have "Ethernet configuration" under connection settings.
I managed to get it to work using "EasyTether" with a client app and a server app. BUT, first, I don't like and don't want an app that controls all my networking data. Second, I don't understand how come we haven't yet done it with native Android configurations.
I tried connecting two device via USB cable using a standard USB-C to USB-A to OTG converter to Type-C (or micro-USB-B with the S7).
On the host device (the one with the OTG connector) I enabled USB tethering, but nothing happened. Tried pinging devices, but no dice. still, both devices recognize a connected USB-device and I can see their details using a USB-Diagnostics app.
Tried turning on Rndis as the USB setting - On some cases both Rndis interfaces up and running, with IP addresses, subnets and routes configured, but nothing. Not even a ping between devices. On other cases Rndis would be DOWN, but setting "ifconfig rndis0 up" would do nothing without printing any error.
I believe now that the Rndis drivers present in an Android phone or Tablet contain only the part of the client, while the host part of the driver exists on PCs.
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Shedaim
Hi, sorry to reviwe old thread. But did you get anywhere with this? I am looking for a ethernet tether. I got the following adapter https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/dator/mac-tillbehor/plexgear-multiadapter-for-usb-c-p61629 That worked great meaning it could power the phone at the same time as working as a usb and ethernet adapter. Internet to the phone with cable no problem. The phone (samsung A8) detects the adapter as a eth0. BUT there is no function to "tether with ethernet".... This is super strange that it has not been built in. Have googled it for ages but cant find anything.
I just bought a Lazmin112 FHD 1920x1080, 32GB , 7inch Android 12 tablet although it appears to be some kind of wholesale thing that's available from literally dozens of different retailers. If it helps it shows up as a Model number P50 under About tablet.
This is my first exposure to Android 12 so I'm not sure whether I'm seeing differences in Android 12 from Android 11 or if the differences are specific to this tablet.
The bottom line is that I can't connect to the device via usb, the PC can't see the usb data space nor does adb list any devices attached.
I've enabled Developer options but many of the controls I'm familiar with are not present. I've enabled USB debugging but there is no default USB usage setting or any other USB related setting other than USB debugging.
The documentation, such as it exists, merely says "USB just only be used for data transmission".
Does anyone have any kind of clue as to how to deal with this?
You could try swiping down to get to the notifications area and tap on the "Connected as media device" notification and then changing it to PTP mode. That sometimes works for USB debugging.
There are various reasons why your Android device is not able to transfer data. Though Android File Transfer is an effective application for transferring data, the restrictions limit the activities. Mac doesn't support media transfer protocol (MTP) for transferring files from Android to Mac. So, it is essential to install Android File Transfer on your Mac to transfer files from Android to Mac. When Android File Transfer could not connect to the device, you might find that Android File Transfer is not working properly.
Here are the common reasons leading to unresponsive Android File Transfer on your Mac:
The file transfer feature is not enabled on your Android mobile/tablet.
Your USB cable is defective.
Your Android device or Mac computer is not compatible with Android File Transfer.
Your Mac's USB port got damaged.
You have installed Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch on your Mac.

Thanks for the input.
As it turned out I was using the cable that came with the tablet and apparently it's either damaged or more likely it's a charging only cable because as soon as I used another cable I did finally get the connected as media device notification and was able to view the file structure from the PC.
Thanks again.
