Adb not founding device? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys i just got a mytouch 4g about half an hour ago and i went quick to root it.. but when i try adb shell it says device not found.... i got my sdk and tried a adb fastboot file i found in the development section but stills saying device not found... im comming from a samsung vibrant and i rarely used adb...
so if anyone can help me with this ill really appreciate.. i wanna start doing my roms today if posible... so help me out so i can root this today... thanks guys

tried cyanogen method but still says device not found....

given you are using a Window's based computer....
Well you need HTC's drivers for this. You can either use PDA Net's drivers. Which can be obtained from June Fabrics dot com. or from HTC's site directly.
The Official HTC drivers can be found on your SD card post mounting the card to the computer. or here http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/
If that doesn't work try using True-Blue's EZ-ADB. Link in my signature.
if you are using a Linux computer you need to kill then start the ./adb server in ROOT then exit out and try adb devices again.

There is also a few lines to past into a usb driver folder inf file I found this on a TMO forum.
[HOW TO] Get ADB to recognize your myTouch 4G
Options
I'll past the important stuff here.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, just going to "borrow" zapote21's excellent guide for setting up ADB, this time for the myTouch4G (if you're weird like me and immediately swapped out SDcards or just prefer not running exe files):
-----
I am going to assume that you have the SDK installed and that you have a clue as to what I am about to say...
If you dont understand this language, then you probably dont need to be trying to use ADB... lol
Go to the "usb_driver" folder in your SDK and find the *.inf file...
Use notepad++ to edit that file and add the following lines to the "[Google.NTx86]" and the "[Google.NTamd64]" sections:
;T-Mobile myTouch4G
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C96&MI_01
;
Save the file, reinstall drivers, and done..

possible driver issue

My guess is that the OP just forgot the most basic step - to turn on Settings / Applications / Development / USB Debugging.

Yeah, turn on USB Debugging. Plug the phone in and run the HTCDriver.exe file from the SD card. Unplug and then plug in again, then try adb devices.

Beeing a rom dev im going to forget about debugging ??
It was that i didnt have htc driver so when i downloaded it worked... im running sense rom

Anyone know of an idiots guide?

I've just about given up. I downloaded all these programs, drivers, other stuff. I thought I had all the required software. I tried to run adb.exe and it just opens a command prompt and closes right away. I've tried searching and all the guides says download this....this..and this..once you have it all. And it starts from there.
The problem is i downloaded everything and I don't know if its working properly to start adb.
I hate this.
I've even thought about downloaded a whole other OS and running it from my USB drive to see if it's easier.
Anyone know of a good how to video?
I know that's what i'll be making as soon as I get this up and running.
Are you actually running adb through a command prompt or just double clicking the exe?

if you are having that much issue setting the correct path, just go to your system 32 and copy over the CMD.EXE to the folder you are working in with Android. And then launch CMD from there.
Or just type into command prompt
PATH = %PATH%;C:/Android/Folder/Youre/Working/With/
EDIT:
I just watched your video. You have some problems in there
First, you aren't setting a new path, you are (attempting) to change your working directory in that video, however you are not doing it right.
You have to use the 'cd' command
C:\Current\Work\Space > cd C:\Change\to\this\space
C:\Change\to\this\space > adb devices
bleh bleh bleh bleh
But it would be better to just do the above method.
In most cases, the instructions are pretty clear. If you read the instructions on installing the SDK, it tells you how to set the path.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
If you follow instructions, then you should be good to go.
If not, then you should be able to do something like a google query for "set path variable windows < whatever kind of windows you're running >"
If you're having a problem getting that stuff done, then maybe you should rethink rooting your phone. I don't know that anyone has bricked a G2 yet, but LOTS of folks bricked G1s. I think it's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to thoroughly break a G2.
"Just to add, if you take adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory you can run adb from any dos directory prompt."
Also, add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows...
To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista) then select Environment Variables.
Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:
Variable: adb
Value: C:\android\tools
If you happen to upgrade to Win7 you can easily open the CMD by shift right-click inside the window itself.....applying the path automatically for you.
You will also have too use these drivers located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802316
or
Use notepad++ to edit that file and add the following lines to the "google.ntxhe "" and the "google.ntamd64" sections:
Code:
;T-Mobile G2 %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91&MI_01 ;

Thanks, looks like I'll be waiting it out. I didn't think it took this much know how to get sdk and adb running properly. I was able to change the path but ran into another brick wall. I type in abd devices to see if it was recognized and nothing. Like i said, I'll be waiting it out until a more permanent route can be found, and more support for rooting is available. Besides I don't think anyone wants to hold my hand and walk me thought the whole thing. It gets annoying, believe me I know. I'll be doing a how to video once I learn to get it all working and when a permanent root is available. I'll learn on XP and make the video using my Win 7.

The G2 isn't included in the current adb drivers that you download separately/with the SDK. You have to edit the inf file to have the G2 recognized. There has been at least 1, maybe a few threads with the lines to add here. I think there's a thread titled something like "I can't get adb to work with my phone" or something like that.
looks like i was doing it right. I was typing "abd" instead of 'adb" it founy device.
Now I guess the have to start sending the files over....
I typed "adb devices" and it picked up my device. with my phone's id number.
I am also about to give up. Some of us are new to Android.. we don't understand SDK and ADB and all these other programs. I do plenty enough reading.. but for some reason can't get these programs to run on Windows 7 x64.
I mean is their a newbs guide for the G2.. for rooting and such?
Yeah there is but you have to read like three guides and watch two videos to fnd everything you need. Ill try to make a quick how to after I finish up mine. I just have to push the apps/install the apps. Did you find the java jdk version. And do the commands on your computers cmp?

Unless you rooted your G2.........adb shell will NOT work.

you can zip up those files on the SD card? When I purchased this they guy in the store swapped out the SIM and memory card from old to new phone (returned G2), so I don't have them. We didn't think about any factory files being pre-loaded on it.
The driver on the sd card is the same as the one on the HTC website. What exactly are you trying to do?
I had a problem looking for adb drivers myself, a while back. And it's true, the drivers are included on the root of the card in an executable file called 'HTC Driver'.

try installing the drivers this way, i havent seen this not work for any android phone. install the free pdanet software from their site onto your computer http://junefabrics.com/android/ follow the instructions that they give you. it will install the proper drivers in a few minutes. btw, pdanet is a tethering program that works side by side with a android app, but you dont need it. you are just using it so that itll install the driver. good luck!

THANKS, GOT IT! Now when I type adb shell it works, BUT than I type SU and I get PERMISSION DENIED?
I just want some SIMPLE instruction and I don't find anything.
Btw, I cant get SUPERSUSER installed. I did go to the market and installed it that way and I can see it in the app drawer but now what?
You have to flash superuser.zip in recovery (install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard and you have to choose your superuser.zip on your internal memory). BEFORE you have to mount /system in recovery.

I got adb set up through terminal, but the downgrade directions tell me to put certain files into my "platform-tools folder". IDoes that mean on the phone, or is that supposed to be somewhere on my mac.
I hate that I was just sent this replacement phone, I was rooted before on my old mytouch 4g, and it was so easy...
Dont forget to To start the SDK Manager, by executing the program "tools/android"
The platform-tools folder is within the sdk folder on your mac.

Did you navigate to /yourPathToSDK/tools/android and launch it?
This will start the SDK manager and you will need to install the SDK platform tools, by clicking on the checkbox and hitting the install package on the GUI.

ICS USB drivers?

Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.

I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"
have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.
Thank you to BOTH of you! I was getting frustrated that I can't do anything with my tablet! I will definitely try both of these when I get home.
@Erica: I went into Device Manager and it did not recognize my tablet, so I tried to install drivers from Windows Update, and it didn't find any.
@Moscow: HTC USB drivers will work? Really? I don't see why not, but then again, each website has you go through different steps to get your model number, etc.
What I am wondering is, for the scan if the C:/ drive, do I extract only the .exe for the USB drivers?

Generally, the zip file contains driver files for AMD64 and i386. Just extract them to a location on your C: drive. Like C:\android\adb_drivers. Once you extract the driver files, or any other driver files, and you have windows search your computer, it will usually find them, and install them. Takes a couple minutes.
I find this is easier than trying to have windows look in a specific folder. Like I said, I have tons of driver files.
Also, google for Android USB drivers. Will give you the generic Android USB driver pack. Unzip them also, to a diff folder.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

Basically, I hear the quick beeps and the device is not being recognized by Windows. Under device manager it is the only device that has a question mark or exclamation point for icon.
I will try both methods and report back on which one works. Thank you very much!!

Quick update.
I tried both of your theories, and neither of them worked
I tried to find the ADB drivers, but couldn't get them to install through SDK Manager (file not found on an XML file).
So then, I took two of the drivers I had downloaded, and extracted the folders they were in, into a folder on C:\ called android drivers.
I tried searching my entire C:\ and nothing came up at all. This is where I tried Erica's method, and I narrowed it down to the C:\android drivers and it STILL didn't bring anything up.
Finally, I tried downloading and placing these (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html) drivers, and it still didn't find them.
Oh, and I also tried plugging my phone into the troublesome port and it connected fine, as per Erica's suggestion, so I think this is some kind of driver issue.. but WHAT!
Thanks for all of your help so far!
EDIT: Here is the icon I am getting when I plug my tablet into my computer: http://i.imgur.com/jUf54.jpg
Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck

Thanks. I'll try it. The only thing I didn't try in your suggestions was to uninstall USB hosts, seems a bit drastic to me. I'll try Acer Sync and lets hope it fixes it!

Nope, no dice on Acer Sync. Same three beeps, nothing is happening. I keep restarting the machine as well to make sure it's as clean a boot as possible.
Thanks anyways!
I've run out of ideas.. Anybody else have any theories or suggestions?

Here are 2 zip files.
1 for Google USB drivers and the other for USB ADB for HTC drivers.
Unzip them to different folders on your C:\. Then let it search again. Hope it picks them up.

Yeah, that's the last of my guesses, and it was the last sets of drivers I installed on my Win7 before I got ADB working. I had issues connecting ADB, and may have just installed the HTC divers, just to connect with my Desire. I think after that, I installed the google drives, and could connect with my 501.
I could always get the PC to recognize the tab, just not through ADB.
With that AOKP rom though, I am not sure. I had it for a bit, but reflashed back to my 3.2.1 daily driver. Not sure if I could see it through PC, as I don't think I checked. Waste of time I think, as basically, it was 80% Thor Rom, and we all know it doesn't get 3g or gps on a 501.

I can't get it to recognize through ADB either. I'd love to try another ICS ROM, but I have to go through Dropbox and it gave me a smaller file name, so it isn't as safe. Might try to download through my a500.
I do have a Nandroid of 3.2.1, bit I doubt that could fix my issues.

What is interesting is the part about Acer ADB USB drivers. No link, so will have to search.
