I have two Android phones
Alcatel One Touch 4030D, Android version 4.1.1, kernel version 3.4.0
Highscreen Spark, Android version 4.0.4, kernel version 3.0.21-perf.
adb devices detects the Alcatel phone, but not the Highscreen phone.
I tried to run adb kill-server; adb start-server, but it didn't help. Switching between different connection modes (Media device (MTP), USB storage) didn't help either. USB debugging is enabled.
Here are the screenshots of the Developer options settings:
How can I make adb recognize the Highscreen device?
Update 1 (03.08.2013 19:00 MSK): Adding the line 0454 to adb_usb.ini didn't help.
Update 2 (03.08.2013 19:59 MSK): My attempt to follow the official Google recommendations failed because I couldn't find the drivers for the Highscreen Spark device.
If you could setup an ADT on Linux or Mac, it will work out of the box.
We were able to connect all sorts of devices to adb easily with ADT on Linux/Mac.
If you haven't managed to connect it through usb, you can try the network connection.
Add your device to the same network, then type in the command prompt:
adb connect your_device_ip_address
Hey try to dig for drivers at Official website.
May be search other sites for USB drivers, that may help you to come out of your problem.
I had the same problem .Try it again by activating the usb mass storage.
Without adb driver for device (in your case Highscreen Spark) it is almost impossible to create a bridge(connection) between your program and device, as adb (Android Debug bridge) makes a connection between your PC/laptop to your android device And without Adb in windows Pc/Laptops its not easily possible to debug.
Because of this, Companies like samsung, lg, htc are providing adb drivers to users for easy debugging, if you dont have a adb driver for Your Device you have only one choice left , Change your operating System into linux and then see the magic.
I had this same problem. Turns out, the issue was the USB Port I plugged in to. The port directly on my laptop does not allow for ADB to see the device. The port on the back of my docking station does allow ADB to see the device. I believe it has to do with USB 3.0 vs. 2.0. I believe 3.0 blocks the protocol ADB needs to use.
You will actually require the device drivers to connect it, so try insatalling Highscreen Spark's PC Suite.
If that dosen't work or you don't find the PC Suite you can download Moborobo from here which is a universal PC Suite for smart phones and connect the device with it and then try connecting the device from abd
It may be a problem with your adb.exe. I had the same problem earlier for connecting HCL G1 tablet. I also added lines in android_winusb.ini, but could not connect yet. Then I found out this link. I got solution by changing the adb.exe file. Try this link : http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/37692-adb-drivers-problem/ Or just download the adb.exe from following link and replace it with you adb.exe file. http://sdrv.ms/NepKED It is also suggested run this command to make adb_usb.ini effective for respective adb after modifying. echo 0x2207 >> %USERPROFILE%.android\adb_usb.ini
Try these drivers
x86
x64
It works for me.
After head banging for more than a day - a small thing saved my life on my RK3066 based device:
after you update the adb_usb.ini and everything else,
and after you do a
adb kill-server
do a
adb usb
and only then do a
adb devices
saved my life
By the way
Adding the line 0454 to adb_usb.ini didn't help.
you should be adding 0x454
I was having issues with my android phone showing up when I typed adb devices but found out that it was the usb cable which caused the issue, members in my family have two different android phones each with their own charging cable. I was using one phone with the other phones usb cable just because it was the nearest and I didn't think it would make a difference but it did.
Try a different usb cable and that might help.
I have the same issue in the past but i don't found the driver on my computer today, so :
You can go on http://www.alcatelonetouch.com and find the call center for your land.
Call them , and explain the issue , they have to send you a driver to connect your phone to the computer. This drivers is very easy to install.
I have make that and i can use it for debbuging
I whish you good luck... Sorry for my English
I am trying to debug my application using a real device instead on the emulator. When I try to connect, it gives me the message:
USB device not found
I tried to unplug and plug it again, but it did not work. And I have also enabled USB debugging and unknown sources options in my device.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
I had this problem with a Nexus 7 - it appeared in Device Manager fine but wasn't recognised by Android Studio. The device had USB debugging turned on. Eventually I noticed an icon in the top left hand corner that said "Connected as a media device. Touch for other USB options." When I selected this I was able to change from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) and then it started working.
If you are on windows, many times it will not recognize the device fully and because of driver issues, the device won't show up.
go to settings
control panel
hardware and sound
device manager
And look for any devices showing an error.
Many androids will show as an unknown USB device.
Select that device and try to update the drivers for it.
This solution works for every unrecognized android device... mostly general brands don´t come with usb debugging drivers...
go to settings
control panel
hardware and sound
device manager
And look for any devices showing an error. Many androids will show as
an unknown USB device or just Android
First thing you need will be your device IDs. You can get them opening up the device manager and finding the "Unknown Device" with a yellow exclamation point. Right click on it and select 'Properties', and then go to the 'Details' tab. Under the 'Property' drop down menu, select hardware IDs. There should be two strings:
USB\VID_2207&PID_0011&REV_0222&MI_01
USB\VID_2207&PID_0011&MI_01
Copy those strings somewhere and then navigate to where you downloaded the Google USB driver. Then you need to open up the file 'android_winusb.inf' in a text editor. I would recommend using Notepad++.
First, create a sub-section for your device. I called mine ';RCA 6378W2' but it doesn't really matter what you call it. Then, under the sub-section you created paste the Device ID strings you copied from the Device Manager, preceded by '%SingleAdbInterface%'. If you need help, look at this screenshot.
NOTE:
If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, you will need to disable device driver signature checks before you'll be able to install the modified driver. Here's a quick video on how to disable device driver checks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk. Ignore the part at the beginning about 64 bit, your computer architecture doesn't matter.
Please look at this article, for more information and MacOS instructions.
Try a different cable, ideally an official Samsung one.
I had tried a crappy USB cable I had lying around and then tried another which was Samsung and works perfectly now.
Not sure why they would be different though but worked for me.
Found out for Samsung, Installing Kies also update the usb driver which solve my problem with connecting my Samsung Galaxy S Advance with Android 4.1.2 to Android Studio on Windows 7 64bit.
In this case the devise manager shows device driver is updated and working, but when I connect my phone Android Studio does not recognize my device.
I had the same problem with connecting my Galaxy Nexus to win7 x64. I solved it by getting drivers, they can be downloaded from here or also via Android SDK manager.
After you put your phone on developer mode, restart it. That worked for me, maybe it will work for you also. After restarting it, the phone was recognized, drivers were automatically installed. Note - I'm running on Windows 7.
I've been having this issue on Mac OSX Mavericks using Android Studio, using my Samsung Galaxy Express , I did a little trick, Run -> Edit Configurations - > Run -> Show chooser dialog. When I "play" and the dialog appeared, I connected my device and it did appear. ;)
You need to install the driver first. Follow the instructions on the Android's developers website:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
I had the same problem with a Samsung galaxy note 2. It was recognized on one pc but not on another one (both running windows 7 64b). After hours of struggling, I installed Kies (from the Samsung website) on the pc where Android Studio was unable to detect the smartphone (Kies was installed on the other one).
Like magic, Android Studio detected the phone !!! I noticed that the Kies installer installed some driver for the phone.
Consequently, for those meeting the same detection problem, I would strongly advise to first install Kies.
Galaxy S7, I had to go to Settings, Developer Options and allow USB Debugging. This asked to approve computer it was attached to and it showed up instantly.
I had tried restart the device, and it's work, popup and ask want to trust the mac for debug mode.
I am using Samung S8, I tried to install:
Intel Android Driver
Samsung USB driver
But the adb bridge driver was still missing.
I finally got it to work by installing the Samsung Smart Switch application which is a media manager application.
Updated at 2018-04-20: If you are struggle with the driver, just use http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
If you're using a USB Type-C cable, check if it has the charging and data transfer capability. Many USB Type-C cables are for charging only, and are not recognized by Android Studio.
Check installed drivers. If drivers ok, check device usb-port it could be damaged.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. Although visible from Devices, my phone was not listed as connected from Android Studio. I tried a few things independently, and then together, and found that only a combination of steps fixed the issue, so this is for you if measures listed above or on another site did not work on their own.
Enable USB debugging from "Developer Options"
Download Kies from Samsung. I believe Samsung US has replaced Kies with a new software called Smart Switch, but this did not resolve anything for me. I found a Samsung UK download of Kies that worked fine.
After connecting your phone to your PC via USB, go to your phone notifications and click on USB settings at the top. Switch it to Camera mode.
I repeat, only all 3 of these together fixed the issue, so if some fixes you have tried haven't worked, use these 3 and it could fix the problem for you. Best of luck.
Restart Android Studio Worked in my case
For me, this simple trick worked:
I actually enabled and disabled the listed USB Adapter for android in the device manager (Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Device Manager). And holy moly it's working! :D
The solution for me was following the instructions at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver. Specifically, the key part from that link that helped me to find the solution was this: "Install a USB Driver. First, find the appropriate driver for your device from the OEM drivers table below." This means that you cannot find a single link that applies to everyone as the solution. It will depend on your device! "So I visited the page to get OEM Drivers at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html#Drivers. In my case, the device I was using was an LG K8 LTE. I had to go to http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers#, Browse by product and I found the driver I needed under the Model Number "LGAS375 KG K8 ACG - AS375", Cell Phone Product. From http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGAS375 I used the "Install the USB DRIVER" for Windows (http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425).
Depending on the device model you are using, you will need to find the specific drivers that work for your phone, and that should work.
How to get connection to device working using adb command line:
USB debugging enabled on phone and phone connected.
I am exercising these commands on linux(redhat and ubuntu) but same commands work under the hood on windows. The device manager runs adb commands. You can find a console in your device manager or regular command-line works if you set up your paths to SDK.
If you can run adb and see something like ???????? in devices list ..
$ android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
You might be running the adb server as a regular user.
You might have to run the adb server as root.
So kill the server as regular user and start it as root.
$ adb kill-server
$ which adb
$ sudo <fullpath>/android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server
Now look at adb devices list, if it is first time this machine connects to this phone you will see "unauthorized".
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
MWS0216A31xxxxxx unauthorized
At this point on phone you should have dialog popped up and you can tap ok to authorize. Then you should see "device" in the devices list and commands like shell/push/pull/sync/backup... should work.
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
MWS0216A31xxxxxx device
$ adb shell "uname -a; df; ls /storage/sdcard0/Download"

Lovely jubly. Hopefully.
For example:
My file path:
C:\...\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
My data to paste:
;Tablet PC
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&MI_01
%CompositeADBInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0003&REV_0230&MI_01
Well, in my case updating drivers, restarting Android Studio, restarting my phone, changing the USB mode or unplugging USB did not help.
Then I went to the dev settings in my phone, toggled the Dev. Mode off and back on, and it worked. AS was open and phone was plugged at the moment.
I had this problem occurring suddenly in Dell Ubuntu linux machine with Android Developer Studio. I did the following steps
1. I opened "System Settings"
2. Select the listed item "Software and Updates"
3. Click on the tab "Additional Drivers"
4. There was a mention about "Dell Inc: Unknown" and the option "Do not use use the device" selected. I selected the alternate driver mentioned and did an "Apply the Changes".
It started working.
I just ran adb command prompt and hit 'adb devices' and it showed daemon was not running. It installed itself and now i can able to see android devices there.
C:\...\...\source\repos\ABC\ABC\Ex.Android>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
ZF22Q3T unauthorized
and Reload the project
Windows, many times it will not recognize the device fully and because of driver issues, the device won't show up.
1).go to settings
2).control panel
3).hardware and sound
4).device manager
Restarted my PC and worked in my case.
Before asking my question, I have looked through a few threads that share the same problem as me and have tried all the given solution with no success. I am from Malaysia.
I cannot get my device to be detected to test my app on my phone. I have checked both the "Unknown sources" and "USB debugging" settings in my phone. I am using eclipse. But if I create a random virtual device, my app is able to run there.
Okay so I am using a Motorola Atrix 2. And I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
I have downloaded android SDK bundle from here : http://www.motorola.com/sites/motodev/us-en/motodev_lp.html
I have also tried downloading the latest driver with no success. I have also added this line in the manifest android:debuggable="true"
I have tried both as a mass storage device and a media transferring device.
I would appreciate any help a lot because as of now, I cannot progress further into developing an android app and that saddens me. :(
I have attached a picture of which my android phone should be detected in the window, but as you can see, none.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BJu1XSgCYAEGCUd.jpg:large
go to /your-android-sdk-directory/platform-tools using command prompt.
type
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
n see whether ur device is detected now or not...
Note: if you're using a Linux machine then put ./ before adb
Install proper drivers for your adb devices, from Android-SDK archive or Motorola site.
If you are on Windows machine, go to the device manager find your device, and select folder with drivers for it.
Open you windows os's explorer, have a look at the process, if there two or more process hold your adb, try to exits the process
Check that the android:minSdkVersion is lower or equal to the Version running on the phone. If it is higher it wont show on "Android Device Chooser"
Install and run programs/drivers with admin rights.
Have you installed Motorola Device Manager?
When debugging Samsung and HTC devices I got it to work by installing that kind of software (for syncing the devices to the computer).
Download from the following: ABD Universal Driver
and install it. Make sure you have your device plugged in before installing and make sure you are on USB debug mode on the phone settings.
I am running Android SDK 2.2 and am trying to get the adb to connect to the Google Nexus One phone. Its a new phone, shipped straight from Google - haven't installed any apps on it yet.
(I have Windows XP)
Here is what I have done so far:
Followed the instructions on setting up the device for development as given on the Android Developer's site:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html
added android:debuggable="true" to my application manifest
USB debuggable is checked on the phone
downloaded the Device Drivers For Windows Revision 3 (this supports Nexus One phones)
Went through the Hardware Installation wizard to install the device - the device shows up as "Android Composite ADB Interface".
When I run adb devices on the shell, the device appears for a moment, then disappears.
On the Eclipse console, I get the following message:
[2010-11-13 11:54:42 - DeviceMonitor]Failed to start monitoring
I have rebooted the pc several times, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times, but I get the same error each time. As I was researching this problem, someone had recommended rebooting the phone. I am a bit confused by that - is that a soft or hard reboot? Do I just power the phone off/on and is there something more complex involved? Do I have to hard reboot it to reset to factory version - even though its brand new?
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Any help on this would be great.
I can't test my application on the device if the adb cannot view the device. Thanks so much in advance.
I had this same problem. To get it working, do the following:
Close Eclipse
Open Task Manager and kill the adb.exe program.
Re-open Eclipse (Eclipse will automatically restart the adb.exe service)
Run adb devices from a command prompt and you should see something like the following:
C:\> adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Of course, I'm assuming you have your phone plugged into your computer.
It sounds like something is killing the service as soon as it starts. Try disabling any anti-virus and running adb devices again. You can also check your system logs for errors - run compmgmt.msc and check the Event Viewer's logs.
When I run adb devices on the shell, the device appears for a moment, then disappears
Do you mean Windows' command shell cmd.exe? The output of 'adb devices' doesn't update itself, it should just print out what's currently connected then terminate.
Nothing here worked for me. And you know what? I plugged it to my USB 3.0 port.
Just plug it to regular USB 2.0 and it'll work.
Hi you jst need upgrade your usb driver, follow this ref link, after upgrading you need to uncheck USB debugging, disconnect cable from device and then check USB debugging and connect cable to device again. this'll solve your problem..
link text
I had this same problem. Do the following:
Plug your phone into your computer and:
Run the command prompt.
Go to the tools location of the android sdk.
run 'adb kill-server'
then run 'adb start-server'.
Turn off COMODO Firewall and Defense+ module
I got my Nexus One on Windows 7 64 bit going by following these instructions:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Note that the directory has changed to /extras/google/usb_driver.
You know that you need to do this if you go to control panel->devices and printers and show properties on the device, and there's no driver shown.
Open the task manager by Ctrl+Shift+Esc
In the Processes select adb.exe and Click the End process Button.
Now close the eclipse and restart it again.
This worked for me. Hope this would work for you as well.
