[Q] no ADB for Nexus 10? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I've searched and found reference to people having the issue, but couldn't find any resolution and wanted to see if anything new has come up.
I prefer the manual method of rooting, and need to get adb working with this device.
Nexus 10 running 4.3, factory unlocked manually using fastboot (which works fine). I updated all of the relevant stuff in SDKmanager, but still can't get my Nexus 10 to come up in "adb devices" even after killing and restarting adb server. This is on a mac, for the record.
My rooted nexus 4 comes up in adb without issue.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Did you remember to check "USB Debugging" on Developer Settings?
To unlock Developer Setting you must press many times Build Number, then there you can turn on USB Debugging . Hope it works!

Sorry, should have mentioned that I did put it in USB Debugging mode. I've tried it with the "Verify apps over USB" setting in the Debugging section both checked and unchecked, killing and restarting ADB server each time.
As far as I know I'm doing everything correctly...
Any other ideas?

Did you try killing the server and starting it with sudo? When my adb gives me problem on my Fedora/Ubuntu I do it and solves the problem . Also try plugging in other USB Ports if it's the case.

Normally on Windows when you cant get the device to show up it is a driver issue, I would imagine the same is true for OS X as well. I cant really recommend an alternate driver though since I dont know much about installing this stuff and rooting when running Mac :/

AFAIK Mac is like Linux, and in Linux we don't have this problem, although sometimes it's needed to modify the rules, I decided to keep this for later, only if the more simple methods doesn't work, as it's way harder than these ones I already pointed.

[Q] How can I get ADB working?

It seems like I go through this every damn time I get a new Android device, so you'd think I'd have figured it out by now, but I haven't.
How the heck to I get ADB working for this device? It's not being recognized by the "adb devices" command right now. As far as I know, I've got the drivers installed (at least, I could communicate via fastboot). I don't know what else I need to do, and would appreciate any help.
How did you get install the drivers? If you haven't done so, you can just grab the drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992345

Yes, that's where I got the drivers (and that's how I got fastboot working).
I've taken the drastic step now of uninstalling the entire SDK thing and am currently re-installing it. We'll see how that goes.
EDIT: yeah, "adb devices" still gives nothing at all.
You need to turn it on first but Developer Options are hidden in Settings. Go into About phone and tap the build version. After 7 times you will have access and you can turn on USB Debugging

do you have usb debugging on? its under development under settings. to make it appear, you need to press the about phone 7 times or so. http://www.androidcentral.com/how-enable-developer-settings-android-42

While this was, admittedly, once my problem back in the early days of android, it's not the problem this time. USB debugging is on.
EDIT: I've also reconfirmed that fastboot is still working after the whole re-installation thing.
Anyone have any other ideas? Is it correct that when I plug the phone in, it's detected add an MTP device?

thats very odd...perhaps run the android sdk and check for any updates for the drivers and whatever else is needed

That's all I can suggest as well, although I can't see what the issue could be
Yer try installing the SDK and downloading the "Google USB Drivers" from there to see if it helps.

Here try this. It's from the sdk. I just zipped it. https://www.box.com/shared/7sutkummukh4pup0rwoi

You can just get the windows executable from Google, r21
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r21-windows.exe
Thanks, everyone who's been reading/trying to help. Unfortunately, it's still not working.
People suggesting the .exe installer - that's how I've installed it each time. Twice now I've uninstalled/reinstalled the SDK. When installing, I choose the SDK tools, SDK platform tools, the 4.2 API (which is probably unnecessary, right?), and the Google USB driver. Each time, ADB has worked *in general*, but will not recognize this device (via the "adb devices" command).
Here's how things are going right now. When I first plug the phone in (with debugging on), if it's not currently installed as a device then it automatically self-installs and shows up as an "mtp" device. I try ADB, doesn't work. I then go in and manually install the drivers found in various places around this board. When I do this, it no longer appears as MTP. This is weird, though, and I didn't notice this last night - when I look at the list of devices in Device Manager in Windows, the category it falls into is "ASUS Android Devices", under which it's listed as "Android Composite ADB Interface", and it still doesn't work.
Something seems wrong about it being listed as ASUS, though. I wonder if all these current difficulties are a result of the problems I had getting my Transformer Prime to work with ADB? If anyone sees anything above that looks like I'm doing something wrong, let me know; I think the next thing I'm going to try is doing this whole process on a fresh computer here at work that's never been exposed to android at all, see how that goes. I'll check back in after I do that.
Have you tried these drivers?...

I have, and it still doesn't work on my laptop. However...
It's working! On a shared computed at work that had never had *anything* android-related installed before. Went through the same procedure I did on my own computer, so the problem is with my laptop, I guess. Which I'm more okay with than it being a problem with the phone. I guess I need to more thoroughly remove everything from the laptop, maybe?
An update:
I DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND. why this worked; I haven't changed the drivers or anything on the laptop itself. On a whim, I changed the device type on the N4 from "media device" to "PTP device" and suddenly ADB is recognizing it on the computer where it's never worked. Should I have expected that?

I have to do that to my Nexus 7 before ADB will recognize it, so you're not alone there.
Just curious, what brand phone did you have before? If it was a samsung and you had all the samsung drivers and what not installed still, this could be causing the problem. My cousin couldn't get adb to recognize his device and we finally discovered the samsung software was conflicting in someway. He uninstalled it all and adb worked like a charm.
I had the same problem, here's what you need to do. When you plug it in, change the settings from MTP to Camera for USB settings. I don't know why, but you need to do it.

[Q] Nexus 7 - No Charge, No USB Connection

Hello All,
Basically, while Nexus is on it does not charge or even recognize a charge from anything, and it also does not recognize when plugged in via USB to my PC.
This occurred a week ago, noticeably a few days after installing MultiROM for testing. I thought MultiROM may have been the cause so went entirely back to stock ROM but still not working.
Couple things that I have noticed... When using MultiROM my drivers are no longer recognized as they should, but instead as Andriod bootloader. I had uninstalled and reinstalled new drivers to allow the flash and correction to Stock, which did work, but now nothing even remotely similar to my Nexus is showing up in my Devices. I have double checked with multiple cords, still no luck... I will say that I have not Enabled USB Debugging because I cannot. Every time I attempt to enable USB Debugging, the Nexus freezes up and reboots... I'm thinking this is the root cause of the issue or there is a fluke bad pin issue in my internals of the Nexus...
It seems that I cannot work in fastboot or adp mode as the USB is not recognized...
I've searched for several days for hours at a time for more info on this, but no luck! Any thoughts and help would be helpful!
Thanks!

Try doing a factory reset first, then see if USB debugging works.
If it won't work, could you try downloading a normal recovery on your device and installing without fastboot and adb connection with computer (I think that is possible, not sure). Is download, boot into recovery and flash like a ROM. Sorry if that's all wrong, I did Google but found nothing, yet I'm sure I did that to install a newer version of twrp???
Also, if you have root, could you try using adb over WiFi, this should work the same, although there is no fastboot.
Good luck!

Thanks for providing more information on this. I have done a Factory Reset via Settings and also via Recovery, but still not available.
I think I'm making progress with adb via Ubuntu over USB, but USB Debugging still gives the Epic crash and still will not charge while On, which is more just annoying than anything else.
Asus/Google Support are saying it is a physical pin issue, but that doesn't explain why USB Debugging is failing. Does anyone know where the USB files are contained? I'm wondering if I've messed up at the Kernel level. Any thoughts?
About my Nexus - More Info
I forgot that I should provide more information about what I'm running:
Phone: Nexus 7
Android Version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.1.10-g05b777c
Build number: JDQ39
Prior to issue also had:
Recovery: TWRP
ROM: Stock JDQ39
MultiROM: Yes
UPDATE
So after more work on my Ubuntu we have found more information and seem to have narrowed down the issue! :fingers-crossed:
I have been able to flash via Fastboot just fine, which has thus allowed me to get TWRP installed and now I'm back rooted. I still cannot adb via USB though. We've double checked with multiple Nexus 7's of the same type, which allow command: adb devices and their devices will show, while it does not for my device. (Side note: my version of Ubuntu does not "see" the adb command in its pwd so... But tests have been done on other machines and worked...)
So after sifting down to adb issues, we found that in /data/property I'm missing persist.sys.root_access and persist.sys.usb.config ... But creation of persist.sys.usb.config didn't do anything...

[Q] Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit stuck on "ADB Device Not Found"

Hi,
I tried a lot of other rooting applications and have had no luck with any of them. Then I found Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. It works for my Nexus 4 (Jelly Bean 4.3) - until I came to the "Full Driver Configuration Guide" - where it gives a message: "ADB device was not found".
I have tried it over several times to no avail. Can anyone offer any clues as to what may be causing this?
btw, I am running the Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2 on Windows 8.
Thank you,
David
I was just having the same problem, and I realized after a while that I was making the STUPID mistake of not noticing that my phone was asking me to confirm USB debugging when the toolkit started searching for ADB devices. If you're as big of a dummy as I am (or just having an off day), this may be your problem

I am having the same problem. Where/how does the phone ask you to confirm USB debugging? It asks me when I turn it on, but not again later.
I have tried 3 or 4 different drivers, but, although the device is recognised by Windows 8, it is not recognised by Root Toolkit.
.... toolkits are the the devil...
They promote not learning what you're doing or what's actually happening in your devices so... there's posts like this.
please read this thread before touching your device

I'm not quite sure how this was supposed to help. My problem is that the ADB drivers do not seem to work on my computer. I have just tried installing the Android SDK (which comes with its own ADB drivers), having first uninstalled all the existing drivers. It did not help.
Not entirely sure where to go from here.
PDAnet's drivers may work. Simply install PDAnet (after uninstalling any previous attempted driver installations) to get the drivers.

I had installed PDANet from within Root Toolkit, and it didn't work. Just now, I uninstalled everything again, and installed PDANet from their web site. Still get no ADB device in Root Toolkit. [NB I didn't have PDANet on the phone, but it seems to be there now]
I tried running adb from the android SDK, and it says "error: device not found".
However, I noted there was an adb prompt on the phone when I first plugged it in, this time (which I told to always accept).
[Later]
Wierd - it is now a bit further on. This is what I did:
Started PDANet on the phone, and enabled USB tethering.
Started PDANet on the computer, and it connected to the phone. At this point the USB debugging permission thing came up again, and I accepted it (also ticking the box to always accept).
Unticked USB tethering on the phone again.
Stopped PDANet on the computer (right click on icon, exit).
Tried the Root Toolkit again (pressed Root button), it connected to the device, and put it into fastboot mode.
The boot loader appeared on the phone, and the computer said "Checking Fastboot Status".
It seemed to stay like that for ever.
Killed the root toolkit. and tried again.
Left the computer for a while, and when I came back, it had completed.
So, it seems to be working now.
And when you try using fastboot directly instead of the toolkit....... what happens?
changing MTP to camera in USB connection mode did it for me...with MTP it showed correctly in device manager but the toolkit didn't recognise it

I type "fastboot reboot" at the command prompt.
It replies "< waiting for device >"
I wait a few minutes.
Then I press ^C and the command prompt returns.
P.S. Changing the USB connection to camera doesn't make any difference to the above.
Best idea i didnt notice too

I got stuck the same way.
The way to got around was to change connection to camera -> the PC is intalling some drivers,
then turn off the USB debugging -> the PC is again installing some drivers,
then turn on the USB debugging -> "bingo" adb mode recognized by the toolkit
Now I can install and enjoy Kikat 4.4.1 :good:

I found the same solution, changing over from MTP to CAMERA suddenly had the toolkit recognise the phone and could boot it to unlock then root it... Previously, I had installed PDA drivers...
I am astonished how PATHETIC nexus phones/tablets are at simply connecting to a PC. I am baffled at the attempt by google to make their devices as UN-plug & play friendly as possible... bizarre! I have a N10, N7 and have had two N5's and all have the same PITA random disability....

So the Nexus toolkit is able to see the Nexus 7 as a media device but not Windows ?

So the Nexus 7 toolkit is able to see the Nexus 7 as media device with this method, but not Windows ? That's strange because Windows is supposed to see your files within the Nexus via Mtp mode. Is it that google removed the ability for Windows to be able to see Nexus 7 files in Android kit kat 4.4.2. What should I do then if I simply want to view files inside Nexus as a non root user ? B.T.W I'm currently on stock kitkat 4.4.2 build KOT49H. Therefore, I'd gladly appreciate it if anyone out there would answer this question and thanks in advance. Feel free to PM me on this so we can "talk" about this. : )

Success.
Well, mtp connection works perfectly fine in my Windows 7 machine. But on my xp machine I could never get it to work no matter what driver combination I used.
I can see the reason they changed to mtp but I found mass storage to be much more user friendly.

as others, I was using WUG kit to get back to stock. I was stuck without USB degugging options. Installing PDAnet did the trick, installing drivers so that I was able to get WUG working. I am now stock. All traces on my tinkering are gone. Later this week I will upgrade to a Galaxy Mega and trade in my Galaxy Nexus that I have loved for 3 plus years.

Hi
Happy New Year to all! unfortunately I am left with the unusable nexus 7 that happened last night.
I was going crazy with the lags with lollipop and was waiting for the 5.0.5 update OTA but the delay was making me go crazy so I decided to take the risk of manually flashing the image using ADB and SDK.
Like many others pointed, I knew how to enable my computer to see my device by switching from MTP to PTP mode from my earlier rooting experience with Samsung, HTC and others. So that was not an issue for me.
I was following a tutorial from androidcentral and half way through I went to check a tutorial on youtube which I think caused the disaster. After I executed the adb devices no devices were detected and like I said I went and changed the MTP mode to off and bingo now my device was detected.
I executed device unlock and currently my device is in unlocked bootloaded state which is displayed in the fastboot screen where I am stuck now. Following the youtube instead of flashing each separately bootloader first and then the factory image I jumped to 'flash-all.bat' command...I saw something say on my command prompt on pc that completed in so many seconds or minutes which led me to get anxious and since no rebooting happened on the device I went and manually tried to press the power button.
From that time I am stuck on the fastboot screen. I can cycle through 'power off', restart booloader, recovery mode and start. But when I select 'restart bootloader' it comes to 'start' in the same mode and when I select that I can see a tiny 'Booting failed' in white letters in tiny fonts on the top left side of the 'Start'. I cannot go past this state.
Since I know the last time I had enabled 'usb debugging' and MTP off before everything went wrong I am presuming those states are still intact. I can see status on 'reboot bootloader' screen that my bootloader is unlocked.
Now, when I try to go through the process again my device is seen in device manager but when I send 'adb devices' command it cannot detect any devices. If my device is usable I can atleast go into settings to see if my MTP state and usb debugging status. Now I don't have that option. I even tried the Nexus Root Toolkit - everything is fine but until it tests the driver to finally say 'ADB device not found'.
After browsing so many posts I spotted there were some posts that said there is some discrepancy between the device id as listed by the driver to what actually is usb.inf, which all is too technical and overboard for me. And finally left me thinking that it is some issue of Windows PC as someone pointed that the ADB device was detected on a MAC. So I am now thinking to give it a shot in a mac machine as a final attempt to recover my device.
Anyone please suggest a solution, apologies if this is covered by someone elsewhere in the forum if so please point me there. I will make sure that from next time I will never do a manual flash of factory image.
please help!
It sounds like you are on top of it, but haven't hit the right combination yet. Thanks for the quote and I am sorry I am unable to offer any help. As mentioned in my post, I have switched to the Galaxy Mega and was pleasantly surprised by the OTA upgrade to 4.4. Now I am trying to figure out how to root it.

Nexus 6P not showing in Device Manager in Recovery Mode

Hi guys.
Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section. If it is I'd appreciate if the moderators could move it to the correct place. Also apologies for the essay of a post.
Now, I recently purchased a Nexus 6P, which I think is an absolutely brilliant device. Despite this I would like to mess around with it behind the scenes (root, different ROMs etc). Firstly I'd like to edit build.prop.
As such as I have installed the Android SDK, installed the relevant things needed such as the USB drivers and platform tools. I've enabled USB debugging in the Developer Settings and ADB works fine when the phone is in normal mode. Booting in to fastboot mode also works.
Unfortunately, when I enter Recovery mode the phone disappears from ADB devices and from Device Manager on Windows. Strangely selecting the sideload option means the device shows up in both places, but I can't use the commands I want.
I've tried various official drivers, unofficial drivers and even edited the official drivers to add my hardware ID with no luck. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm somewhat new to modern Android so I may be missing something obvious.
Cheers for any help in advance!

So what is it exactly you are trying to do? Unlock the bootloader, or have you already done that and flashed custom recovery?

I've done that, I've been following various information from these forums. I just can't seem to do anything in recovery mode using ADB. Everything else works, but the phone disappears if I try and use ADB to do anything.

Try and updating USB drivers for your PC from manufacturer or mb company. I had problems with newer versions of Android on my pc and had to update my usb3.0 drivers. I got mine from a different company from the board i use but the same chipset. My 6p works in recovery with twrp using adb. But I use a usb3.0 port. The only driver for the phone I use is the one from the Android sdk. The Google driver.

Can't get USB Debug drivers to work.

A little history. I have rooted several other brands of tablets, so I am not new at this. Even thogh I am not a programmer by any stretch of the word. My Pixel C drivers work fine in normal mode, I can see the storage as a drive, no problem. I can transfer files back and forth. But, when I boot it into fastboot mode, it will not see it. It is listed as an unknown device in the device manager of Windows 10. I have tried to install the drivers, but they say not found. And this is the driver from the Android website. I'm at my wit's end. I'm not a newbie at windows, either. But, I need suggestions to get this to work. BTW this is the latest version of Windows 10 1903. And I have tried every solution I have found on google and on this website. TIA
Ok, fixed that by selecting a driver from a list of drivers so now I have ADB drivers. I have another issue which I will do some research on if not.....I'LL BE BACK.
What is your goal?
Do you want to use adb or fastboot?
Is the bootloader unlocked, have you enabled usb debugging in the developers menu (hidden) etc
Ok, as I said before, I figured it out. And yes, the bootloader was unlocked and yes USB debugging was enabled. I got everything
working and I am now running Android 9. Thanks for the reply, though.
