The Android device in question is a Micromax A87(a relatively unknown brand in global market but I hope that should'nt matter).
In Ubuntu, I have double checked the udev rules. They all look perfect. (I cross checked using another phone too). The USB debug mode doesn't show up no matter what. And I have the adb_usb.ini in the right place. I have tried running all possible combinations of running
adb, adb start-server as root. But
Code:
adb devices
shows no devices at all.
However, with the USB debugging option enabled on phone, it worked on Win7 after windows installed a Common handset driver.
Now the interesting part.
If I go back to Ubuntu without disconnecting the cable and do
Code:
$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
[B]1234567890ABCDEF[/B] device
The product id is 1234567890ABCDEF and I am able to see it and everthing works fine!!
But the moment I disconnect the USB cable, its gone.
So I guess it's not the development machine that is at fault. The device seems to be setting a property while in Windows which stays latched till the usb connection goes off.
What could be a way to get this to work? (Besides developing on Windows :silly: )
Btw the
Code:
/data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
is 1 too.
What is your computer setup? Are you using a Windows machine, with Ubuntu in a vm? Dual-boot? Other?
My setup:
Dual boot.
Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7.
Ok, how about if you plug in the USB with the computer's power off, then boot into Ubuntu?
i have the clone of this phone. mine is Mito A78.
lsusb command shows it as 1c9e:9e08
so idVendor =1c9e and idProduct = 9e08
for now, what you say (plugin to windows and reboot to ubuntu without unplug the phone) is the solution.
i will see if lsusb output still the same.
okay, have checked on windows pc, it should be switched to idVendor =1c9e and idProduct = 9e18
anyway, what you say is a clue that the solution may be around usb_modeswitch and modem manager
further search on usb_modeswitch 1c9e 9e08 found the solution here: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1351
have tried, but not yet switched to idVendor =1c9e and idProduct = 9e18
have to find the correct rules on /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:9e08
Code:
########################################################
# Mito A78
DefaultVendor=0x1c9e
DefaultProduct=0x9e08
TargetVendor=0x1c9e
TargetProduct=0x9e18
SierraMode=1
CheckSuccess=20
NoDriverLoading=1
found it.
after writing the rules, insert
Code:
# Mito A78
ATTR{idVendor}=="1c9e", ATTR{idProduct}=="9e08", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
i than have to run
Code:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x1c9e -p 0x9e08 -S -R -W
and then the phone switched to idVendor =1c9e and idProduct = 9e18 and adb can access the phone.
:good: :good: :good:
I-mobile IQ 5.1 has same issue, but adb still can't see device
The usb_modeswitch is exactly the same for this phone (same usb vid/pid). However adb still doesn't find the phone under Windows and Ubuntu. lsusb shows the product id switch did work and it all looks right.
Under windows it spins up a cdrom device from the phone so you can install the windows drivers (this lives as an *.iso file under /system); after the driver install, you get the adb device in device manager and two com ports,with all devices having a pid of 9e18 (original 9e08). However adb does not see the device!
I recon there is something wrong on the phone side. This is a very new phone (only release about 5 days ago), so I suspect this is one of the early release bugs...
Since I don't even have a custom recovery for it (CWM, etc) I can even backup my phone and try and do a factory reset.
Looks like a low level USB issue
Switched on tracing on adbd on the phone side. Looks like a phone/usb low level issue:

I also tried the Chainfire adbd insecure and its exactly the same in the debugging.
Now working on win7 64!
Followed this link and managed to get it working. The PID value was set to 9e18. In essence the andriod usb driver was missing (install via the andriod.bat andriod package manager).
Also works in virtualbox winxp vm on Linux (ubuntu 12.10; actually Mint 14). Just mapped in my win7 64 partition to get access to the andriod sdk/usb driver.
Now that I know its not a handset issue, can return to trying to get the Linux side working.
Now working under Linux!
You need the vendor id in adb_usb.ini:
Code:
cat ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x1c9e
If you will run adb as root, make sure you also create the file for root too.
Tip: You will be logged into the phone as the 'shell' user. Try and 'su -' to get root access, and then click on your su dialog on the phone to grant access.
Final issue is that plugging in the device should do the switch automatically; I will update you on that when I have that fixed.
udev sorted on ubuntu
Ok, we are rocking on udev on ubuntu 12.10. Seems like udev doesn't like ATTR keywords, although ATTRS makes everything burst into life (man page says ATTR is useable). Steps that worked for me:
Code:
# cp /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_modeswitch.rules
# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_modeswitch.rules
Add the following entry near the bottom under the last entry:
Code:
# I-Mobile IQ5.1
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1c9e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9e08", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
Create /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:9e08 as described earlier by jurban.
Unplug the phone. Plug it in. Do an lsusb. Firstly shows up as dev 1c9e:9e08. Enter lsusb again. Shows up as 1c9e:9e18. Now adb will show the device as jurban shows above. All good to go!
ok i have showing device in recovery and fastboot but when the rom starts booting
i issue adb logcat i still get
Code:
c:\logcat>adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
adb kill server
adb start server deamon running on port 5037
waiting on devices
error protocol fault <no status>
adb kill server
adb start server deamon running on port 5037
waiting on devices
error protocol fault <no status>
c:\logcat>
any help would be lovely at this point. i have taken the liberty of uninstalling everything from path to sdk and htc drivers and reinstalling everything one at a time on both linux and windows.....yet still same results... erm im very mad at this thing lol.....oh yeah almost forgot i went through and double checked all the id's and those are correct everything should be configured right
better question what esle can i debug with instead of just logcat?
I did a search and have found similar threads. However, people seem to have been intelligent and back up stuff or installed recovery apps before screwing around with their phones. I did not.
I have a Samsung Note3. Kit Kat 4.4.2 installed OTA once I had it up and running. I rooted it. However, the version of Kit-kat has a famous issue in that it would not allow apps to write to the SD card. I found a site with manual instructions to edit the platform.xml to overcome this issue. The site is as below:
winaero.com/blog/unlock-external-sd-card-writing-for-all-apps-in-android-4-4-kitkat/
However, something went awry after rebooting. I could not see anything on my SD card and I was unable to edit the platform.xml. A solution seemed to be to flash the ROM (using ODIN 3.07). I did this and currently have Baseband version N9005XXUENB1 and Build Number KOT49H.N9005XXUENB7
However, the still has lots of issues. I can stick in a password on wifi and connect to the network but it does not actually communicate with the internet. The H with up and down arrows appears for 3g connectivitiy but also does not work. Bluetooth does not work. Youtube has stopped working errors are common. I am unable to install any apps as cannot use play store, etc. I have pictures and mp3s on my SD card but gallery comes up empty as does music app. The only "file explorer" I seem to have is "my files" app. It comes up as empty (although it shows Total storage available for both SD memory and device storage as using 25/32 and 22/29 respectively.
I am guessing that flashing the ROM did not remedy the corrupt platform.xml in the permissions folder. I think the folder path was etc/permission/platform.xml although am not an expert with android. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a solution to fix the issue. Preferably a completely fresh and clean wipe type solution. Although as I am a "newbie" the greater the simplicity of the solution the better.
Apologies for the length of this issue!

Sounds like a bit of a pickle. Since you know that Odin is working and the firmware you have at least flashes correctly, I'd consider installing a custom recovery, backing up EFS folder (and the rom too, just in case there is some weird issue with Odin the 2nd time around) , then wipe everything - /system included. This will make your phone not be able to boot up at all because it will wipe the OS off. Then just boot directly to Download and redo the firmware flash. Something else to consider since you do have the international version, is that some of the firmwares you install might be more carrier or region specific, so there might be a better option to install. I know that there is a some slightly newer version that has NC2 in it as I was trying to fix one of these phones the other day that could not register on any network and ran across that build. Do you remember the build number of the software before you started modding?
Hello. Thanks for the reply.
I am going to ask what are probably very obvious questions but I am a little out of my depth.
1) What does installing a custom recovery involve?
2)How would I backup the EFS directory? When I had ES file explorer I would have been able to try and find it. However, as it is I do not know how to find the directory and back it up. I have connected the phone to a windows laptop and it shows up as note3 but there are no folders or files visible in either the phone or on the card.
3) What is the procedure to "wipe everything"?
I think the final part I know how to do with ODIN. Just go to download boot and load and run odin with the ROM.
I got the BTU ROM is that not for the UK? I tried looking up what NC2 was but did not really find anything the explained what it is.
Thanks again and sorry for the ignorance on my side.
Let's put the custom recovery and all that on the back burner for now.
Was your phone unlocked from the factory or did you get it from a carrier? If from a carrier, which, and is it unlocked now or you are still using it with the original carrier? This one is for Vodaphone http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27401 but if you are unlocked, it should work anyway, I believe.
Thanks to the people for their replies. I managed to solve the issue as below.
As mentioned previously I had flashed using ODIN and BTU version of N9005XXUENB7. The only other thing that was then required was to enter the recovery (I think power + volume up + home and then release power once samsung name appears). I then selected wipe data/factory. A reboot later and everything was solved.

Hi, The other day i tried to fix the Platform.xml. on my S5. i noticed sometime after that when i move files using the "My files" app, the phone would not refresh the files so that they would show up in gallery, videos etc.. I tried to undo the Media_rw by using SD Maid to find the Platform.xml and Axel to rewrite the Xml. In the platform.xml. i deleted the Media_rw and replaced the old xml with the old (original) one. I rebooted my phone. On swiping to open the screen i noticed alot of apps crashing one after the other. I when back to SD Maid and searched for Platform.xml and opened it with Axel but it said file not found.. i can not use the internet, i cant use most apps, i cant even use the Kies on my computer. I cant save anything to the storage either. I really need help. Odin is the only thing i can use. but i dont know how i can reset the xml files on my phone.. What exactly am i do to?
please

Hey, I was wondering if you ever got a fix on this without factory reset. I am having the exact same issue.
Same boat here. Please someone help!

I am having exact same problem. After editing the platform.xml, my Note 3 is behaving the same way: no access to any storage area (including USB drive), no remote access/online access (even though WIFI and 4G appear to connect just fine), most apps fail with 'Unfortunately ... has stopped' error message, no Google Play...
I really don't want to do a factory reset, but really, does it even help? Is there a way to put the platform.xml back? Is there a way to access the phone via USB cable?

Update: I went ahead and successfully install the all-in-one file to the phone via Odin, but it still has the same issues. Can someone give a hint? thanks
FIX!!!
Hi I'm a god at searching(hence the Go)but an Noob(hence the obie) to Dev on Android but a computer techy(in other words I fix computers upgrade ETC.) Now if you followed EXACT instructions you SHOULD have the Backup copy of platform.xml. If not reply and I'll give those instructions.
So I did the same as this post did to get my issue as well but there's a SOLUTION I just found W/o getting rid of your loved files and its easy!
1. Download the ADB also included in The Android SDK by Google (approx. 3XX MB)
2. DOWNLOAD Root Explorer.APK
3. Extract ADB Dev kit( name should be roughly adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip)Note: I prefered it at C:\Android it avoided Name too long error
4. Open CMD Type: cd C:\<location ADB was extracted>\sdk\platform-tools(if you followed my note it will be "C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools") and press enter... HINT TO COPY PASTE IN CMD RIGHT CLICK SAVES TIME!!!!
5. Install Root Explorer so you can backup your files(if any) I was unlucky having none on the phone but SD storage is ok!
To do this type ADB INSTALL <Location of Root explorer.exe> For standard windows users with default download locations it would be "C:\Users\<USER NAME>\Downloads\Root Explorer v3.1.9.apk" <COPY PASTE
6. Copy the original back to System>ETC>Permissions and overwrite
7. Factory reset!
Links?
sorry guys bt i have the same note 3 and i delete the platform.xml file .....i did a factory reset bt nothing happened ...can u help plz
Re:FIX!
But you have to set the permissions of platform.xml as 0777.Right?
Step 5 how should it works

1) First time it asked whether to trust this computer and I checked 'always trust this computer'. Is there a way to untrust a specific computer / make it ask again ?
2) plugging the cable to my older SGS3 works fine :
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
4df1d4650790afdf device
Has anybody encountered this before ?
Additional info :
$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
Revision 57224c5cff69-android
I'm using Linux Mint 17.2, NuSense 6 (Lolipop)
From starting Android 11 we can use ADB wirelessly by pairing the device wirelessly using,
Code:
adb pair ipaddr:port
When I try the same in an Android 10- device,
Code:
./adb pair 192.168.8.120:5555
Code:
Enter pairing code: 123456
adb server version (39) doesn't match this client (41); killing...
* daemon started successfully
Failed: Unable to start pairing client.
The problem seems that a pairing code cannot be provided by the device. I think if we could have a method (hack) to provide a pairing code from the device, we could succeed.
Have anyone tried to do it on Android 10- ?
Isn't that possible at all?
Code:
adb pair
only available on Android 11 and up.
Look inside here.
