How Do I Enable ADB Debugging on Chrome OS? - android

According to both Google and Google, if I enable Linux on Chrome OS, then in Settings' "Linux (Beta)" section, I should see a "Develop Android apps" option.
On an HP Chromebox G2 (Kench), I see this option and eventually got it activated.
On a Samsung Chromebook Plus (Kevin), I do not see this option, even with Chrome OS 88.0.4324.186.
On an ASUS Chromebook Tablet CT100 (scarlet), I see this option. This particular device is short on ports, though, so I'm going to be struggling to use it for what I need.
On an Acer Chromebook R11 (cyan), I do not see this option, even with Chrome OS 88.0.4324.186.
So... how do I enable ADB debugging on the Samsung or the Acer?
Or, another way to look at it: how do I know whether a given Chrome OS device model will or will not support ADB debugging, besides actually trying to set it up? It is difficult to plan on getting something else for testing if I do not know whether it will support ADB before buying it.

With Linux development environment (Beta) enabled,
Go to Settings of the Chromebook
Enter "android" on the search bar on top,
Select "manage Android preferences"
then you will enter generic Android setting page in a new window.
Scroll down at bottom select "System",
then select "Developer options"
I found my ADB debugging there.

It's a known issue since September 20.
There is no official response from google about this issue yet.
According to Google's product platinum expert DennyL:
"I believe it has to do with the architecture and/or the kernel version used on the device" ......... "So far, there have been no authoritative responses but we hope to see something soon."

looks like that devices without TPM 2.0 will never get this feature.
this following issue was marked as won't fix

Android Studio doesn't see any phone

I have 2 computers, and both have Android Studio (I installed it yesterday), but only one of them sees my phone. ADB devices also doesn't see it. The developer mode is enabled, SDK is installed, google usb driver is installed, enabling PTP didn't help.
What can I do?
Xiaomi Redmi 4X
Windows 10
I assume that you are working on Windows. What had helped me once was to install Adb drivers from Intel website. You can follow this tutorial
what device are you using? it totally depends on what device you are using, different devices use different drivers to connect and communicate with your computer here is the official OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) list of drivers:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb
If you are on a Windows machine here is a list of useful scripts that might also help:
https://github.com/alkathirikhalid/android-window-scripts
Cheers and happy learning.
Download pdaNet software in pc install it and then try.
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Try this.
Also you may run task manager and kill adb.exe.
First check whether your phone is showing "Usb debugging connected" in notification bar? If it is upgraded to android 7.0, it will show an "N" in the notification bar with details as i mentioned earlier. This message means that your phone is in debugging mode. If its charging and not showing any such notification in bar, that means your data cable is the problem.Connecting phone in mtp will not help at all.
You can do a quick and dirty fix by pushing the port a little bit up with a toothpick or something (i tried and trust me it works). But that can cause a bit of damage. So I will recommend buying a new data cable. This is the only thing that comes to my mind as you mentioned that developer options are enabled and usb debugging is turned on in developer options right?

Remote Chrome debugging on Android device

I've followed https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging
and am fine up 'till "Step 2: Debug content on your Android device from your development machine."
I'm logged into the same Google account on dev and remote browsers in all cases.
I see the device w/serial number, and it displays the fact that Chrome is running on the Android device, but I do not get the Chrome version or URL entry field as shown in the screen shot.
This is Android 5.0.1, with current versions of Chrome on both the OS X 10.10.x dev machine and the Android device.
I have also tried with all combinations of Chrome/Canary on the dev machine and Chrome/Chrome Dev on the Android machine with identical results.
Thinking it might be a browser extension or something, I also put Chrome and Canary on a freshly installed OS X 10.12.x beta with no extensions etc. with identical results.
Obviously, USB debugging is on, but the device also requires me to select one of three modes for the USB anyway. Selecting "charge only" disconnects the debugger, the other two lead to this same behaviour.
So...
A> Is there something I need to do that's not in the instructions on the above referenced page?
B> Is it possible that the carrier (TracPhone, it's a throw-away dev machine) is doing something funky at the Android level to keep this from working?
Please be gentle, this is my first Android experience so maybe I'm missing something obvious to the old hands out there.
Thanks,

Android Studio - No USB devices detected

I tried to play Android Studio 2.0 with my mobile without success, what I did are:
In my mobile, Apps/gear icon/Settings/SYSTEM/{} Developer options/ Android debugging/, enable the Android Debug Bridge(adb) interface (set tick).
After plug in my mobile to my PC with a USB cable, I found A0001 in my Computer folder. Within A0001, I can see the files in my mobile.
In my PC, run Android Studio/bin/studio.exe, "Select Deployment Target" window shows with message "No USB devices or running emulators detected"
I have tried two different USB drivers but got no lucky.
Perhaps I should tell Android Studio where is my USB driver? But, how?
Can you help?
I had the same problem too and I managed to resolve it this way.
First, enable debugger mode in your android device.
Go to Device Manager from Start Menu and try to find ADB Interface with an error symbol on it. This generally happens because windows sometimes fail to load all the mobile device drives.
Next, Go to http://adbdriver.com/downloads/ and download the driver installer, unzip and run it.
Now go to Android Studio and you should find that everything is working fine.
Chill....
same here... but I hope you can avoid this problem the same way I Did.
There is an "universal ADB Driver for all Android Devices".
Yep... sounds like magic.
Just follow this link.
https://devs-lab.com/usb-adb-drivers-for-all-android-devices.html
Fun fact there is no "Step 5" in that article so I'll give you.
you have to enable "USB Depuration" from "Developer Options" connect your cellphone to computer as a "MTP storage" , after windows detected your cellphone as a "Portable Device" Execute ADBDriverInstaller.exe (that downloaded from devs-lab)
check the device list and your cellphone will say "Driver incorrectly", select your cellphone and press install.
Step 6: Once the process is completed, you’ll see something like the image that appears there (in the link).
I hope that somebody else work this
Go to Run > Edit Configurations...
Under Deployment Target Options select Show Device Chooser
Dialog from the drop-down-list
See picture for reference
After struggling with this problem for a while, I found that there are certain cables that can only charge your phone, and even though they seem to be working, they do not allow your phone to be used as a "Media Device" and therefore Android Studio does not detect it.
Go to
Tools | Android | Enable ADB Integration
Make sure it's enabled. When I upgraded to 2.X it was for some reason disabled for me and it took me hours to find it.
I just cannot beleive why it is so difficult! let me try again and please check my steps again:
I installed Android Studio 2.0, then run Computer/OS(C:)/....../Android Studio/bin/studio.exe.
The Android Studio window appeared in my working area Computer/OS2(J:)/Users/MyAccount/Desktop/.
I connected my mobile with my computer, Cpmputer/A0001/ appeared, from it, I can see the files in my mobile.
I clicked the run icon in the Android Studio window, a "Select Deployment Target" window apeared with message "No USB devices or running emulators detected".
(I got two USB ports and tried both but got the same result.)
Finally found the solution : )
1. Install device’s required driver. (for me it was motorola device
manager)
2. Download Google Usb Driver from SDK Manager
3. Open your phone's setting->developer options and turn on USB debugging.
4. connect your device to computer
5. Go to Device Manager from Start Menu and try to find if there is ADB Interface with an error symbol on it.
5.1. If yes, then right click on the ADB interface->Update driver
software->Browse my computer for driver software-> Let me pick from
a list of device drivers on my computer->Select Motorola ADB interface
5.2. Now one confirmation will pop up in your mobile, accept it
5.3. Now you should see no error mark beside the ADB interface in your
device manager
There are 3 steps to set up your phone for debugging:
1) Change your phone to developer's mode by going to Settings, About Phone, Software Info, Android Version - tap at least 7 times on the Build Number text. You will get a message saying you are now a Developer.
2) Enable USB Debugging in Settings - Developer Options. Make sure you are not connected to your USB port to see the USB Debugging option enabled, otherwise it will be disabled.
After you plug in your USB, swipe at the top of your screen, you will see USB Debugging on.
3) Make sure USB connection is set to Photo Transfer (or MTP - Transfer photos and videos). After you plug in your USB, swipe at the top of your screen, and you will see Tap to change USB options on the menu. Tap it, and select Photo Transfer option.
Perhaps your mobile manufacturer does not provide the proper driver.
Go to Device MAnager and look for: Android Composite ADB Interface. If it's there, the driver is properly installed. If not... You and I are on the same "wagon"...
I tell you: Acer? Never again.
USB debugging somehow got turned off under developer options on my Samsung. Turned it back on and it worked, but only by clicking on "debug app" instead of on "run app".
With me, when connecting the mobile to the pc, three options appeared on my mobile.
Charge this phone
Transfer Files
Transfer Images
I thought I should select "Transfer Files", but it dd not work
But it only when works I choose "Charge this phone"
Few ways to resolve this problem.
Case 1: Install PdaNet+ in your system. (worked for me).
Case 2: Enable the USB debugging option in your mobile. Setting > developer > Check "USB Debugging".
Case 3: Change from MTP to PTP.(sometimes vise versa works).
Question is Your development sdk no mobile version android sdk Platform.
For example, my android phone system is 6.0, i need download sdk Platform 6.0.
First, try to revoke the usb sessions in the developer options, then try downloading an oem usb driver
If then doesn’t help you can try opening the device manager on windows, right click on your phone, select uninstall. This worked for me if I had the same issue.
I couldn't find my android phone or any USB device I connect to my windows laptop on the hidden icons. Well, my mouse and phone could charge but I can't seem to see my phone in the File Explorer option.
I prefer running Apps using my phone rather than emulator in Android Studio and yet I couldn't see my phone when I connect using the USB.
This helped me solve all my problems after several hours of searching for solution.
Download Universal ADB Drivers - One size fits all Windows Drivers for Android Debug Bridge
Please use this link: https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
I hope this works for you like magic!
I can see all the devices I connect using the USB cable and my mouse receiver.

Enable USB debugging on Android

I am trying to enable USB Debugging on Android so that I don't need to use the emulator.
I did what all the posts all around the web say to do: I went to settings -> applications -> Developer -> USB debugging
It still does not turn on the notification sign that USB Debugging is enabled, and Eclipse does not recognize it, and uses the regular emulator.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
You haven't specified what device you are using or what operating system you are using, so that could be helpful.
A few things to keep in mind:
1 Don't mount as USB storage.
2 You also need to make sure to install the drivers for your phone so that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can properly communicate. After these are installed, try the command "adb devices" and you should see an item in your list of devices.
Update based on your comment: You can download Kies from Samsung, which include the drivers (as well as other things): http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Or you can find unofficial driver-only packages, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
I think you'll need the OEM USB dirvers.
Read this:
OEM USB Drivers
My experience with windows has been that you might need to un-install the USB drivers under device manager. Then disconnect the device (restart might be required). After plugging the device back in make sure you use the manufactures drivers if available
you have installed your device driver rite?then right click on your app name->run as->run configurations->target->select manual->apply.after that click on debug button then it will ask you to select the device.
If everything else is tested, try with another USB cable.
On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.
Fruthermore on some devices you will be asked to accept an RSA key, which allows debugging through your computer. This ensures that other adb commands cannot be executed unless you're able to unlock your device.
Detailed information can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html It is the overview about adb commands (which is used to send data to your device) and it starts with the steps how to bring your phone to debug-mode.
I wish to add to Danation's answer with the following.
If you have installed KIES, and you've tried following instructions a couple of times (for the android SDK package) without success, here's what worked for me:
As a precaution, disconnect the device, and press 'Revoke USB Debugging authorizations'.
Now, go to kies, and reinstall the device driver as seen on the image below.
Connect the device.
For me, it was a routine, it usually works when installing kies, but I was stuck on this today for a little while, and I hope i can help others with my solution as well..

Debug Motorola Triumph

I have installed the latest Motorola USB drivers which include support for the Triumph.
When I plug in my phone, "adb devices" does not list my phone.
My device manager shows my device under Phone as well as Disk Drive. Both use the WPD FileSystem Volume Driver and refuse to let me update the driver by pointing the motorola drivers in Program Files. It continues to tell me that "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date."
Any ideas?
I am currently in just about the exact same predicament =/
I have some possible avenues that we could both share:
Idk if you were able to find a phone number for Motorola (American that is) but i finally found one
Motorola Mobility, Inc.
600 North U.S. Highway 45
Libertyville, Illinois 60048 USA
Telephone: +1 847 523 5000
Here is a link to yet ANOTHER programmer having the same prob as us =/, but he got it figured out using the steps he posted there
Also there is live support chat here.
If you find a solution to this problem, please, please, please let me know =) And i will do the same for you if i get it figured out soon.
Edit:
Nevermind, i got mine to work just fine =)
Heres what i did:
Used USBDeview to uninstall all previously failed attempts at drivers lol
NOTE: You will have to run USBDeview as an Administrator(right click, select Run as administrator)
In the device manager, after uninstalling all the others, right click on what pops up for the device, click update driver, browse for your own, than from there it was a series of selecting from lists, but the key thing here is to remember that eclipse debugs programs on external devices using the adb interface, which should be a pre loaded option in said select lists =)
Hope this helps!!!
Have you enabled debug mode for your phone? This can be done via settings->application settings->development->USB debugging
Whenever I've had a problem with adb recognizing my devices I've managed to fix it by adding a reference to it in my .android/adb_usb.ini file.
I only run Linux/OS X at home and I don't want to try and blindly describe how to do it on Windows from memory, but they discuss it here http://android.modaco.com/topic/294799-adb-windows-7-and-the-pulse-tutorial/
And google gives the USB Vendor ID's here http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html .
On my linux box I added:
0x0489
To my adb_usb.ini (using the Foxconn ID which on linux you can find directly via lsusb, I think you could use devcon on Windows to find it) and it shows up on my device list.
Just because this link hasn't been dropped in any answers (and I always find myself looking for it), here are the manufacturer's development drivers.
This is what worked for me. I have a Moto Triumph and Win7 x64...
Turn on Unknown Sources, USB Debugging
Install Motorola USB development driver. Unfortunately, Motorola broke the old driver URL, as well as many development forum URL's. Fortunately, Softpedia has copies of the installer. Grab the 32 bit or 64 bit version depending on your OS.
Plug in your phone by USB
Open Device Manager
View hidden devices
Uninstall default drivers (Disk Drives\Qualcomm USB, DVD\CD\Android SCSI CD-ROM, Portable Devices\F:)
Action > scan for hardware changes, or Disconnect/reconnect phone
Repeat till ADB appears (probably w/ a yellow icon indicating it's not fully installed)
Right-click ADB > update driver > browse my computer for driver > pick from a list > Motorola > Android Sooner ADB (the first entry)
Accept security warning
Done. If it worked properly, you can now view your device using adb devices.
