[Problem] Adb won't show up devices whatever I do...

I Tried guides that try to solve this from everywhere, Including here,
I used latest version of the android usb-drivers that comes with the latest Android SDK (downloaded directly from google with the SDK download GUI thinggy).
Tried to uninstall all usb roots,
Tried force removal of driver using external app and re-installations
Tried different drivers from multiple locations,
And still, whatever I try - there is notihng on the "adb devices" list
"List of devices attached"
<CR>
<CR>
C:\.......>
Everything shows up okay, on first run of the adb the 'whatever' service starts and everything is fine
Device DOES appear properly on device manager "Android Composite ADB Interface".
Windows DOES the pnp beep whenever I check or uncheck the "Debugging mode"
This hapnned both on STOCK ROM (first or second software version of the phone released) and on latest Cyanogen 5.0.6
One thing I did noticed, "Android ADB Device" Either appear under "Android" type (usb debugging on) or under USB Controllers (When usb debugging is off).
Ho, I did not mentioned the phone, I'm talking about Nexus One.
Thanks for any help.

Amm, any ideas?

Try using a program named USBDEVIEW, remove the android driver and plug the phone to your PC again and wait to reinstal the drivers.

I take it your on Windows, so I might not be much help as I use Linux strictly but try to run the command prompt as Administrator (right click > run as I think) and then
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Not sure if that will help but I know in Linux you must start the ADB server as root in order to see the attached devices, so I assume in Windows you must start it as Administrator.

I ran into a similar issue with my sapphire. Turns out it was as simple as me having my tethering app on. Once I turned it off (pda net), it worked like a charm. Hope this helps

Hells to the yea, I now has root and rom and I am a happy boy!
Thanks again

hmm >.< nothing is working for me this laptop is not detecting my (Nexus S) device in ADB
windows sees it fine, drivers are installed (for normal mode and ADB mode), mass storage works,
but ADB Devices list shows up empty
2 other phone works just fine (SGS & XT720)
Update: went to another computer and it shows up properly.... (you just gotta "luv" windows )

Try installing htc sense from htc website even if running vanilla. It will install the driver properly. Then un-install sense and keep drivers. It's the only thing that worked for me.

[Q] Can't Get Kindle Fire to show as a storage device

Hopefully no one has already asked this question. I've looked through the search and found nothing. But anyway, I have windows 7 64. When I try and connect the Kindle to windows it doesn't see it. Yes I've made sure it's not sleeping and yes I've Reset the Kindle. Now in the task bar it shows it to safely remove device. If I look at devices it's there. When I click on my computer it's not. At work they still use windows xp it works just fine there, Comes up as it should. I've tried all my usb ports . I've tried 4 different usb cables. Is there some usb drivers that I could delete in the windows system that could get it to work. Hell I can't even root this thing till it see it. Any help would be awesome.

Does the kindle say file sharing is on?

I don't know if this will help but I had to uncheck USB debugging to get mine to show up. (Also on Windows 7)

Where do you find usb debugging. I Know where it's at on my phone. Also jm it does say on the Kindle itself that files are ready to be transferred.

As a last resort you could use device manager to check and make sure that windows is seeing it. Also, certain versions of windows will hide certain drives. Just right click my computer and click manage. Then click device manager.

Look under Applications and then Development. Default is ADB android debugging so I guess you have to turn that off to use USB.

Use kfu in the development thread to install the drivers again.

That's the weird thing. When I uninstall the drivers the computer will see the kindle. When I install the kfu drivers it doesn't see the kindle anymore

I just went through this make sure you have
Path c:\ windows\system32

Yeah I have C:\windows\system32.

so when you type "Path" in a cmd you see c:\windows\system32

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 already have the SDK installed from a whole ago, and I have used ADB recently for my phone, so I guess I should have the updates drivers correct? So I should just go through the device manager and let Win7 search through my C:/ drive? What will it be picking up, the ADB drivers?

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.

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.

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

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.

Try these.

I had driver issue for side loading even after Installing OnePlus drivers windows wanted to use standard ADB drivers

Download the Android SDK kit first. Then plug in your OP5 to your PC and you should see something called "CD Drive (F: ) OnePlus Drivers". Click on it and it will install the OP5 drivers. Then enable developer options on your phone, by hitting the build number 7 times. Then go into developer settings and enable USD debugging. After that, go to the Android SDK folder and go to tools/platform tools, then hold shift and right click and open a command/powershell window and type adb devices. After that you should receive a fingerprint notification on your phone so just say yes to it. Ten type in adb devices again in the command/powershell window and it should be able to detect your device. I said everything from scratch so I hope it sort of helps!

What exactly do you want to accomplish. Because I just flashed everything on my phone. When the phone was running normal ADB was not recognized in my phone. However when I was in bootloader mode I got to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP.

Do you have Windows? If yes, what version? With 10, I know they work a 100% for sure. With 7, after installing these, there is still a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. To resolve that, right click on the device in Device Manager, uninstall the driver. Then, reconnect the device after enabling USB Debugging, and then let windows download the required drivers from Windows Update. It should be ~8.5 MB. Once it's downloaded and installed automatically, you should be good to go.

I found a work-a-round to transfer your files from one phone to the Essential.
create a folder on your desktop and copy and paste all files you want transferred to the PH1. Once you have completed that just copy and paste those files from that folder to the phone.

wow, an extremely obvious solution to a problem no one asked about and has nothing to do with this thread!!

I've got ADB to connect somewhat. Instead of cd\sdk\platform-tools just run cd\sdk. ADB devices shows my phone, but once I ADB reboot bootloader, it will boot into the bootloader, but that's it.

I can't get it to work at all windows 10

I'm on Windows 10 as well. ADB works as long as the phone is booted into the OS. Once I enter the bootloader ADB nor fastboot can see the device

What is your usb setting? Charging, file transfer?

I got ADB working on linux. You need to add this to your 51-android.rules
#Essential
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="2e17", ATTR{idProduct}=="c032", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
I still can't get fastboot to work yet though. To get it to work I need to run: sudo $(which fastboot) devices
I'm going to play around with it more to see if I can get it to work just using fastboot devices

ADB is working on Windows 10, but as mentioned above, fastboot isn't recognized. Can't unlock the effing bootloader without that dammit.

Okay so to get it my PC to recognize the device in fastboot, I had to open Computer Management < Device Manager and find the device listed as Mata while booted into the bootloader. Windows didn't know what driver to use so I manually selected the Android Bootloader driver. You have to list all installed drivers on your machine and it should show up for windows 10 users. Device is now unlocked

Same here, just manually installed Google USB Driver and installed it as "Fastboot Interface" and it worked.

Ok I got adb and fastboot both working on Ubuntu/Linux now. Instead of adding the line I posted in my previous post just run this:
sudo sh -c "echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2e17", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules"
Then
sudo service udev restart
Then ubplug your device if it's plugged in via USB and then plug it back in. adb works as well as fastboot
