I've already posted this in the development area of the forum, but honestly I'm just sitting here hoping someone will reply and I don't think enough people will see my post there. But at any rate, I've been sitting here for the last few hours hoping someone will help me out; I am trying to complete the unlock procedure for my Xoom on my Mac, and for some reason I cannot get the SDK to recognize my Xoom ("adb devices" shows nothing). I'm really hoping someone can give me a tip as to how I can get this otherwise simple procedure to work.
Dumb question, but do you have USB debugging turned on?
Settings -> Applications -> Development
Oh I guess you're trying to do fastboot... nevermind

Maybe not a dumb question, as I do not have it turned on...but thats only because none of the published instructions for unlock mention this. I just went straight to the power down, followed but the power-button-and-down-volume combination to go into the fastboot protocol support.
This is incredibly frustrating, I have no idea what to do. I guess this is what happens when you get your xoom several days after everyone else did.

Are you running adb as root? Try 'sudo adb devices'
I have to do this on linux.

Nope, still nothing showing up. This is ridiculous.
I found something while at work today. You need to go to android.com/filetransfer and download the file transfer application as the Xoom can't be recognized without it. Hope this helps I have used it since launch and it works well.

This is not true at all. The file transfer tool is for transferring files to the Xoom, not interacting with it via adb and fastboot. The Mac should just recognize the device (mine does, and I don't have the file transfer tool installed).
I just realized this is related to the post you made in the Root (or unlocking?) thread. Make sure if you want to see the device in "adb devices" that you have the Xoom booted normally.
If you have it in fastboot mode it should show up in "fastboot devices"

Hero had a hardware fault w/ the SD slot(good thing too! I dropped it last week and had a bit of rub on the top left that was bothering the hell out of me)
Was going to go get it replaced tonight, but for some damn reason the RUU won't work.
I have the latest RUU(1.56?)
Tried with phone w/ and without USB debugging
Went into fastboot mode(which made W7 install drivers for Android 1.0?) yet the RUU still won't recognize the phone.
I'm not computer illiterate, I'm just having problems with this damn RUU.
Halp?
What's the error you're getting?
The RUU basically says like
"Finding your Android Device" for about 30 seconds then says it cannot find it.
error 170...

ok try this.
type "adb devices"
if that sees your phone type reboot into fastboot then type "fastboot devices"
if that sees your phone then run the ruu
adb devices sees it.
boot into fastboot, fastboot devices sees it.

For some of the people running into problems with Windows 7 you may want to try:
1. Right-click on the executable file "ARUWizard.exe" and then go to "properties"
2. I believe there is a tab called "Compatibility" or something, click on it.
3. there should be a place for you to click next to a "run this program in compatibility mode" put a check there
4. below that there should be a drop down box, try choosing "Windows XP SP3" (or something similar to that)
5. near the bottom should be a place to check "run as administrator" check that.
6. click "ok" and then try running the program again.
I'm in front of a windows xp computer right now, not windows 7, so excuse me if i don't remember the options correctly, but I should be pretty close.
I also don't even know if this will work, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Possible resolutions would be:
1) Putting it in to fast boot and trying it again. Check your error log if it fails and seeing if it identified your phone this time.
2) Open a command prompt and "cd" to the folder where your \sdk\tools\ folder and type in "adb devices" and hit enter and see if it sees your phone. If not then that's your problem. If it DOES see your phone then enter the following command
3) adb shell reboot oem-78 -- that will reboot your phone in to RUU-ready fastboot. If you had the RUU still open then close it. Then open it and try running again.

Just had a thought.. after updating my HTC Sync software the adb included with my RUU might be out of date. I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe from C:\AndroidSDK\Tools and overwrote the files in the RUU folder. Then I ran it without a hitch.. weird, eh?

Tried the first two things, neither helped
I figured out part of the problem though. I had to dig up some 64 bit drivers.
I got the RUU to recognize my phone and it sends it to the bootloader and gets stuck on Waiting for bootloader then errors 170 out.
I'll try copying the files over now.
Replacing those 3 files did the trick!

I can't get adb to work with my iconia to save my life... I've tried every driver out there to try to get the device recognized but I can't even get it connected to my computer. I have the mini usb cable and all, and I can copy/paste files into the tablet memory, but whenever I start adb it won't recognize it. How did you guys get yours set up? And I've connected my incredible via adb so I know my sdk kit is legit. Just let me know, thanks-
Oh, and: Iconia is rooted. Also, I've tried to start the device manager (i'm on win7 btw), locate the missing device driver, update driver, and navigate to where I got the acer driver from their website, but to no avail. Could it be my rom? I have a hc 3.1 on there atm. Well, that's about it haha
The ultimate goal is to install native ubuntu on the a500, but I need access to adb first.

Hmm ... did you install the USB drivers from Acer's support site?
http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=3851
Another option with ADB is to do so via IP. Search the Market for 'adb' and there should be a few apps that will allow you to use ADB over TCP/IP. From your computer, with ADB installed, you'd connect with something like:
adb connect <Tablet's IP address>:<port>
I seem to think port 5555 is the default.
If, after trying this method, you still cannot access/see your tablet (assuming you started ADB services), then you may want to check your SDK.
Best of luck.

Does anyone have any information on installing twrp from a mac? I have adb installed, but I haven't read anywhere about how to install it using a mac.
I installed TWRP using my Mac with the official Android SDK and platform-tools for Android 2.3 and Android 4.0 installed.
Basically just followed the instructions on the RootzWiki, as recommended by one of the devs: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/
did you install usb drivers (even though they aren't supported by mac osx)? and did you do anything differently because you were using a mac?
thanks for the link.

Sorry man, I don't remember whether or not I installed any USB drivers. If they're not supported, I imagine that I didn't.
But, I don't want to give you misleading info -- so, if you're not sure, I'd say hold off until someone who really knows what they're talking about chimes in. I'm pretty reckless when it comes to this stuff, and I'd hate for you to do something you regret on account of my mouth, ha!
sorry, another question, did the kindle automatically show up in adb with no tinkering, hate to pester you, im just planning everything before i give it a go.
also, did you plug it in while it was on with usb storage enabled?

You don't need any drivers. Adb and fastboot should both work just fine. You might need to edit the ini file though.

Hey guys ive been pretty stoked to root and rom my g2 now that im bored of LG's UI haha i have been trying to use the IOroot method but something about the drivers is giving me such a hard time! i installed them but every time i open a command window and type in "adb devices" nothing is coming up so obviously its not being able to read my device which isnt alowing me to root my phone any help would be greatly appriciated! thanks in advance
I was having trouble, finally went to LG site to download drivers

adb is a special android thing. You need to install it to just use it anywhere. Do this:
1. Create a folder on your desktop (you can call it root or whatever you want).
2. Extract IORoot into folder created in step one.
3. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK and do "open command window here" (This is the most important).
4. type
Code:
adb devices
5. if you devices shows run the root.bat file to root your device.
Look at this for a little more help.

This is just a thought, but maybe, power the phone off, power the PC off. Turn them both back on, re-read the instructions on how to root the phone. It sort of sounds like you could be missing just a little thing on the instructions. You may also try a different USB port on your PC too. I rooted mine back on iRoot 6 so I would have to think that iRoot 10 should be better then what I used.

I had the same issue. I installed these lg drivers, not sure if they had anything to do with it because it still didn't work. What finally worked was when I turned off debug and may have been in mtp connection. Obviously after you have to put back in debug and ethernet connection to follow the ioroot method.

unfortunatly with ethernet on i am still getting the same results... its just not recognizing my device? at least now in the notification bar i get the notification that USB debugging is on so i guess im making progress? uggh this is getting pretty annoying any thoughts guys?
Run it directly from local drive root. IE C:/ Windows 7? Control alt delete. End the stale adb process, you should see two, one not performing sitting around 2000 kb ram and the other using ram. End that and it should force adb to kick in. I had to do this on win 7 multiple times with dif phones. It's like it locks up when finding the com port or whatever the hell it's doing. I take no blame if you screw up your device this way. I have resorted to a virtual xp for all my phone needs as not everything works in Linux.
Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Not sure if it matters but I am running 64 bit Windows 8
- In the instructions didn't you have to change a setting for the Com Port to get it to see the phone??
- Did you ever get the prompt on your phone to accept the Connection. I can not remember what it was, but it only comes up once, and I am not referring to the USB connection IE Ethernet??
- Are you sure you have Developer Options turned on?? The step where you keep tapping on the Developer thing and then the phone finally gives you the Developer Options??
Hello,
My N4 is soft-bricked. Well, hopefully that's all it is.
I want to sideload a ROM onto it, via Mac OS X 10.9.3
I have found plenty of instructions on how to do that with a Mac.
But I can't get ADB or fastboot to see the device.
When I go to the system information on this Mac and looked at the USB devices, I see the Nexus there... along with its serial number, etc. But in Terminal I get a device not found error in ADB and nothing at all in fastboot.
It is my understanding I don't need to install any special drivers on Mac for it to detect the device. Is that correct?
If not, does any one have any suggestions on how I might get this device connected properly?
Thank you...
With further research, I have made some progress. I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7169048
It says:
Also, if that does not work, check to see if the device shows up under USB in the System Profiler (included in OS X). If it is showing up there, but not in ADB, try adding the USB Vendor ID of the phone to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
This file can be created if it does not already exist. The Vendor ID of the Nexus S is 0x18d1. Please make sure the last line of the file is a Vendor ID, do not leave a blank line at the end.

After doing that, I can now see my N4 listed. Well, at least it does when I am in recovery mode.
Now I shall see if I can make some progress with pushing a ROM to this thing (I am new to all this, so I'll see how this goes...)
Can you get to the bootloader screen? Only there fastboot will work.
Way easier if you just set up a virtual machine and run Odin from Windows.
