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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008&highlight=ADB
it worked for me like a charm.
that thread didnt work for me..
i tried lots more ways. just not able to get my nook (running honeycomb) online.
adb devices

I had intermittent ADB success with my Mac. After installing the ADB Wireless app there have been no problems.

Hi,
I can't seem to get my HTC-HD2 (T-mobile) working for tethering. I just flashed my phone with the Android 2.2 OS successfully but when i plug my phone in via USB, Windows XP can't install the driver manually or automatically. I Installed the Google USB Drivers via SDK Manager for the "Android Hardware Found" message but for some reason it tells me the driver was not found.
I don't know if i doing this right. Do i need a driver for the HTC-HD2?
I am trying to connect to the internet with the phone instead of using the hotspot which interferes with other wireless devices. This is prohibited at my job so I was wondering if tethering would work with my HTC-HD2...
..Sorry for posting this in the wrong section.
Thanks
Nevermind...Fixed.
Should've have done some searching first before i posted.
Thanks
I am having the same problem but with Windows 7. Can you tell me what did you do to fix this issue?
for pdmj, please dont say "nevermind i figured it out" If you are going to make a topic at least post to it what you found instead of causing yet more topics to pop up without answers.

I got "Wi-Fi Tether v3_0 pre14" working on BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA Gingerbread SD Build V7.
But only in AD-HOC mode. I think, it will work on any ROM. You just need to specify connection mode from 'master' to 'AD-HOC' and your computer will connect without any limitations automatically. Good luck!

By the way is there way to make the connection encrypted?
My nexus cannot be rooted because the adb drivers WON'T install.
I downloaded the sdk and installed the google usb drivers.
But, when my PC finds NEW hardware I point to the google usb drivers and I get the error CANNOT INSTALL HARDWARE. Running VISTA.
I have been reading and trying everything but I just cannot figure it out.
I finally said I will just have to post and HOPE you guys can give me a hand here.
Thanks.

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!
btw, you can get the answer here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12657095&postcount=2

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.

Why for ****s sake are you so damn desperate.
It seems like you demand something.
And just flash a custom rom and you will have superuser

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.

This may sound silly, but have you gone into settings, applications, development, and checked "USB debugging" to on?

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.
Did you have to edit the usb_ini file? if so, how would i go about doing it?

Same as on linux... I changed it, but i'm not sure i needed to.
ok, one final thing ( i promise) http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/ is that similar to what you did?
Edit: I've ****ed up and now i'm stuck in fastboot. do you have any ideas how to fix that?
