I'm not an ADB noob, I've used it for two years on my Hero, but I can't get it to work on the Epic. I've been told that I don't need any drivers (on a Mac), and I can't find any. What I mean by "It Doesn't Work" is that it won't connect. If I type ./adb devices, it doesn't show the phone. Please help!

Ok, do I am changing all of my work over to Ubuntu and have the 1.5 SDK installed and working now. What I don't have is a device connection when I type "ADB Devices" in my terminal window, or when I bring up DDMS. IS there a trick to getting Ubuntu to recognize the G1 as an ADB device? Help is appreciated.

Do a search for an Ubuntu SDK guide, there's a really good one floating around. You need to create a couple of text files to get it to register the USB device, the guide tells you how to do that.
Search for ubuntu udev android. You should be able to find it that way...
Ok I've researched this to death and tried in on both Windows 7 and osx 10.6.6 to attach using adb and install a couple of .apk's and the same thing happens on both platforms - NOTHING :-(.
You would think this would be pretty basic, but I am missing something somewhere.
Summary:
1. Am running the stock rooted b&n rom.
2. Can access both the internal and SD cards on the nook on both windoze and
osx. Eliminates cables, drivers etc...
3. Debug is selected in the nookstools settings
On both OSX and Win 7 installed the latest version of the Android SDK - both installs provided me with the platform-tools directory from which I will initiate all adb commands. So far so good...
on mac: ./adb devices returns:
$ ./adb kill-server
$ ./adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
$
As you can see I never get any device information returned, does not matter if Im on Windows or mac - same response.
Just for grins I downloaded the wireless app and tried to connect adb that way...no luck...
I could go into everything that i have tried over the last 24 hours...but that would also be pointless.
Bottom line...assuming this is something simpleI am just missing. Assuming since the symptoms are the same on both platforms that the issue lies on the nook but for the life of me I cannot find it.
Assuming if I cannot figure this out I will slowly go insane..my next step is to flash either froyo or honeycomb rom and see if this helps with the problems. Of course I MUST have the market available to me or I will not b able to load any .apk's.
Hpe Im in the right place. Any guidance is GREATLY appreciated.
Love this little Nook....BG
I know this will sound stupid, but I had this same problem and the only way I found to fix it is to adb while I have the superuser app running.
YMMV, but it solved that issue fo me.
Who Swami - It Worked
Swami,
I fall to my knees and bask in your knowledge: It WORKED!
I knew it was something simple, there is not a post on the entire Internet in any forum I have ever found (and I may have searched them all!) that mentions superuser needs to be running for adb to be able to communicate with the device. I wonder if this is a nook issue only. Will test on my wife's Epic this evening and post the results tonight.
My sanity now restored I bid you all a hearty SEE-Ya!
-BG
Omg I actually helped someone!
Glad it worked for ya I'm sure you felt the same relief I did when I finally stumbled across that fix.. I was pulling my hair out for hours LOL
Thanks Once More
As was I such a simple fix you would think I would have thought about permissions on the client side , such is life and tech thats why we all hang together.
Must say I was going to purchase the iPad 2 when it came out (NEVER buy 1st gen Apple) but now I'm not so sure...LOVING my Nook.

I'm not sure if this is related but I *think* that what made it work for me was to freshly enable the Debugging USB mode immediately before connecting the USB cable. Maybe that also triggered the Superuser app??? It's always the small things in life that make us smile
my problem is a little different.... I have sd cards with honeycomb (no market) and froyo (market and other apps). I can see the NC in adb with both, but honeycomb shows the device offline... and adb cannot talk to it. froyo show the device online and I can use adb. Both honeycomb and froyo show up in windows too.
I can't find anything that talks about getting the NC to show online to adb.
Same Problem
I have the same problem of trying to get my nook recognized. The only thing I can see different between my setup and the instructions on NookDevs was that they said I should see Android ADB Composite Interface on my Device Manager. Mine reads Android ADB Interface.
Tried the Superuser and the USB Debugging with no luck. Just really trying to get this set up so in case I need to factory reset. Because the 8x method manually is way too hard.
Have you guys read though this thread?

I am hoping someone can help me before the ICS OTA hits in the US.
I am trying to root, but I can NOT get ADB to see the TPT.
I am using win 7 64 bit, and have downloaded the adb driver and modified the .inf. It shows up in dev man under android phone as thinkpad adb, but when I run adb devices...nothing.
I installed that latest Java dev and android stk but still nothing.
The TPT is on OTA 2.5.
I have searched everywhere but cannot fined any answer.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Is USB debugging enabled on your tpt? Did you try a different USB cable/port? On your PC are you in the same directory as adb.exe?
Yes, Yes, and Yes.
ADB is running fine...it just cant see the TPT even tho windows can.
I'm sure you're a little frustrated. I had that happen, and it turned out there were two adb processes running. A reboot fixed that. I'm sorry I don't have the answer.
It IS frustrating, but I appreciate your suggestions!
try running the emulator and make sure you can connect to it via adb, as a check to make sure adb deamon is starting up correctly.
True. Worked for me.
For whatever reason, it was my system that I do all my adb work on....just refuses to see the TPT.
Used my notebook with nothing installed and it went just fine.
My Win7-64 PC could only see my TPT as a portable device, and was listed between drive letters. I wanted to see it under "Android Phones."
After about 6 hours of searching, having installed the Lenovo-provided drivers probably 40 times, I went out on a limb and opened the Device Mangler, individually uninstalled each of the portable devices, including the TPT. Rebooted my PC. Plugged in the TPT, and finally it appeared under Android Phones, and ADB recognized it (I typed "adb devices" in the command prompt and it was listed).
What it came down to is the driver that wanted to be the default was trumping the one I wanted. Beware the Diva. She's not all that.
I should add that I also unplugged a usb card reader (that was making all the drive letters) because I thought that might be the culprit, but it still showed up in the Device Mangler, so I don't think unplugging it made a difference.
I miss Win2K.
I am having an issue with ADB and rooting my n4 as above When i do"ADB reboot bootloader" I get Emulator-5554 offline and error: more than one device and emulator.

Been trying to get an adb connection to this phone. I'm on the latest Sprint available OTA (NMJ32F). Have not side loaded the later version. Never rooted.
When connecting the phone to PC, device manager shows "Essential Phone ADB" is working properly. I also tried the Google generic ADB driver. The phone also shows a notification "ADB debugging is connected. Tap to disable".
"adb devices” always returns empty. I am able to adb other devices.
I think the problem is the phone is not asking me to authorize the ADB connection as my other phones and tablets normally do.
Any idea?
Did you get permissions on your phone when popup appears?
No. The phone doesn't pop up the permission question. But I don't know why.
Don't know but as long as you don't give permission you can't sideload

Try the usb driver and SDK platform tools directly from Essential website:
https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
I am using the drivers from Essential website. However, I was using the lastest Unified Android Toolkit for the adb command. Looks like it may be outdated, as the adb.exe and it's dll's in the link from Essential website is newer. I will try the platform tools from there and see if there is a difference.
Thanks!
Is USB debugging enabled in Developer settings?
Are you in Fastboot? Did you try "fastboot devices"?
ADB devices returns your device is offline?
