[Q] Device Offline: Brand New Nexus 4, 4.2.2

So, got a replacement Nexus 4 today, and it's been updated to 4.2.2 and for some reason, it comes up as offline on ADB no matter what I do.
However, the funny thing is, my other Nexus 4, the one I was getting the replacement for, connects to ADB wonderfully. Shows up as a device, no problem. It's on 4.2.1.
Question 1: How can I manage to get the gosh darn thing to be recognized as online. I've tried two different cables, both of which connect with the 4.2.1 nexus but not the 4.2.2.
Question 2: Can I install a custom recovery without ADB?
EDIT: Consider this solved... it seems I had a bit much to drink... little did I know I don't need ADB... just fastboot.
Oh well All is well.

Is the device recognized by Windows? Checking under Computer>Properties>Device Manager does the phone show up correctly?

Use the search in the future please. Just update ADB. With 4.2.2 the phone will pop up to ask you if you want to authorize your computer to access the phone, this "feature" requires the updated ADB, no change to fastboot, so you'll be fine getting the recovery on there, but ffr with ADB.

Unlock and Root 4.2.2

If you're trying to unlock and root your nexus, you can follow the steps on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2147413 There's another way to unlock and root your device (via adb) since Wugfresh's NRT doesn't support 4.2.2. Just make sure you use the correct .img file for your specific device.
You can also update any old SDK files by opening the SDK Manager on your pc.

I did use the search feature and I will have you know that the FIRST THING I DID was download and update the absolute most recent ADB so thank you, but the degrading "learn to search" comment was not applicable.
Anyhow, this whole conversation is fairly irrelevant since I got what I needed to do, done.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Hey
Guys had the same problem and it was really simple to solve.
When you start adb and type adb devices and your device comes offline.
Go to settings>developer options - unchecked USB debugging and check it again, right after your computer will recognize your phone and in the phone will appear a box with your computer's Mac address asking you to allow connection.

Have you downloaded the updated version of adb from post #8? And make sure you use that rather than whichever you were using? That was all I needed to do to get my offline Nexus 4 online again...

It have something to do with usb debugging not being enabled on the new phone?

In that case, I don't think you get the "offline" status from adb - I think it wouldn't appear at all?

It appears that the Linux SDK isn't fully updated (as of today, newest build is 0219). My adb version is 1.0.29, and from a bit of research it seems that that version cannot ask your device for the OK it needs in 4.2.2. I hope I'm wrong though...
EDIT: When I had basically given up, I re-checked one last time, and there it was on my screen; the OK. Unfortunately, I have no idea what permitted this. Let the building start. Good luck to all of you!

I assume you are using Google Nexus 7 Toolkit?
If so there should be an option which says unlock bootloader.

I feel your pain as I too am having the same problem. I am posting on here so I can easily follow your post. I will tell you also that I think it has something to do with 4.2.2 but not positive at this point. I have rooted a Nexus One, HTC Dream, SGH679, so I do have some experience with this. I have changed ports, cables, started and stopped the service, rebooted the tablet, toggled the debugging just keep getting the offline. When I plug my phone in and use it, it sees it and it works fine, then when I plug the tablet back in it go back to offline. I even removed all the drivers on the computer just so it would get confused with the phone driver and still no luck. I think the driver is fine tho because it says it is in device manager, and I can transfer files back and forth from my tablet to my computer. Don't loose heart tho I think the answer is out there and I will keep working on it, and checking back to see if anyone else has had success.

Have you tried updating the data files in NexusRootToolkit?

So I was going to do it the old fasion way by following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150661
I didn't quite get step four because the nexus 7 doesn't have an SDcard, but I copied the zip to the root of the device.
When I did step 7 the device did not go to Fastboot, it didn't go anywhere other than a black screen. I think I have a faulty unit, or the holding of the volume buttons with the power is really not the way to get to fastboot, either way I am looking at a brick right now. Any thoughts will be welcome. I messed around with it for 10 min now and got the device to re-boot. Not sure if I should try the fast boot option again.

Are you on Windows 8 by any chance?
Because I couldn't get it to work on Windows 8 and had to use Windows 7.

You must update adb command from here:

everyone i got it working! adb offline fixed
It took me a while but I finally fixed it! Here's what I did I went crazy and searched all over the web with the keywords adb offline nexus 7 4.2.2 I then found a website that related to my issue it said to update SDK manager so I downloaded the manager then found android 4.2 next downloaded all that was under the 4.2 package and next downloaded the extra packages next thing I knew I plugged in my nexus and on it on the screen it told to choose yes or no on USB debugging and that's all you have to do to fix the problem of the adb offline bullstuff. I hope you guys will be able to understand what I'm writing to you. I also use windows 7 for this.

FWIW, here is my experience:
PC: Win7 Pro x64 SP1 - SDK platform-tools 16.0.1 - SDK Tools 21.1 - ADB v 1.0.31
N7: JDQ39 Stock *
( *OK, i diddled default.prop in my boot image to set "ro.secure =0". I don't know if that could make a difference or not )
The Nexus 7 asks for confirmation of inbound adb sessions for every new adb server invocation on the client PC.
When it does ask for credentials, you have to get to the on-screen display pretty quickly - a couple of seconds at most. If you don't the device will be reported as "offline" by the first invocation of
adb devices
If you accept the connection, the next time you run "adb devices", the status is back to normal (reports "device" instead of "offline").
You can test this out yourself - just iterate in a loop these three commands:
adb devices
adb devices
adb kill-server
Nothing that can't be understood by someone who knows what is going on; but I suppose that all the toolkits are running adb underneath the hood, so it is certainly possible to get tripped up when using a toolkit if you aren't Jhonny-on-the-Spot when that dialog pops up on the tablet.
Also, for the adventuresome:
I note that the new stock JDQ39 (4.2.2) ramdisk has a new line in the default.prop that was not in JOP40D (4.2.1) :
Code:
ro.adb.secure=1
I suppose that could be toggled off if you have a favorite kernel/ramdisk setup and you don't want to be bothered by this stuff. But it does mean unpacking/repacking your boot images.
cheers

I'm having the same problem. Never recognizes an ADB device. When it does it shows my serial number followed by "offline."
Any ideas? I'm ready to return this thing.

Out of curiousity what driver are you using and how are you installing it?
Also where is your device coming up in the device manager?
I've tried so many things that I think I'm getting off track. Sadly my motorola phones were much easier to root.

how come you cant?

The sad thing is I have no idea what finally got it to work. Maybe just an extra reboot I had forgotten at some point. I do know however that I had to add a few extra lines (hardware ID) to the .inf file in the usb driver. Not sure which did the trick. I also used a combo of the toolkit to unlock and the manual method to root. Also I am unable to boot my device into the bootloader/fastboot via windows and rather have to manually (physically) shut down the device and enter the bootloader via the physical buttons. Probably an issue with the windows drivers again, but at least I have full functionality once in fastboot.
Only thing is now I can't get access to the storage via windows. And there's no way in hell I want to change the ADB drivers without knowing which finally worked for me. I'm thinking though that this is an entirely different device in device manager (I'm obviously not that knowledgeable).
Also I'm kinda annoyed by the unlocked padlock symbol on startup. I suppose that should be a welcome sign of achievement after spending all day trying to unlock/root, especially for such an unlearned person as myself.

did you clear this issue?

This issue is included in 4.2.2, and ADB is disabled by default for security.
I tested on my Nexus 4, 4.2.2 running. :fingers-crossed:

Okey. So to summarise: there is this new security feature in android 4.2. that makes the device show a popup if you want to allow the connected computer to use the adb = debugging bridge. But for this to work, you need to have the newest adb binary, which needs to print 1.0.31 when you run "adb version"
(found that info here --> http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...s-from-stealing-your-data-in-some-situations/ )
Under linux when you try to do it the old-school google-recommended way and download the huge "adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130219" and use the "android" tool to find new updates to the platform tools, it will tell you you already got the latest version which is rev 16.0.2 which contains an adb binary which will print version 1.0.26 which will not work with this new android 4.2.2 security feature.
So after searching for a linux adb 1.0.31 binary, I found it here:
https://github.com/mozilla/r2d2b2g/commit/2eefcc05366173ca51635da8f542fd8473ba0fea -->
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/r2d2b2g/adb-1.0.31-linux.zip
with that binary I finally can use adb on my nexus 7 again.

[Q] Backup app data with broken display (no touch, no root, debuging enabled)

Hi folks,
yesterday my Nexus 4 hit the ground and the front glass just bursted. Touch is not working anymore and the screen is locked (only slide to unlock, no pin or gesture). I can connect it to my PC and can access the internal storage, so backing up images, music, etc. is not a problem.
I have some apps installed of which I want to transfer the app data to my new phone. Debugging is enabled so I thought, well that'll be easy just run adb backup. Thought so... As adb backup requires a user action when it comes to entering the password I'm doomed
Does anybody has an idea or experienced the same problem on how I can get adb backup to work without being able to use the touch screen?
I'm not limited to adb backup but as my phone is not rooted I assume there are not a lot possibilities besides.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Your outta luck it seems then... If its that important to you you could buy a replacement screen for the n4... Get your data and sell it and get the money you spent in the screen back.

If the apps that u need data are on sdcard(their datas)then u just do adb pull /sdcard c:\sdbackup with phone on.
if not then:
@calex3141 :
1ST: IM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE / FAIL WHILE DOING THIS METHOD, I TESTED ON MY FRIEND´S N4 BUT I CANT GUARANTEE THAT WILL WORK ON EVERY NEXUS (INCLUDING YOURS), USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
2ND: DO NOT CRY IF U CANT GET BACK THE FILES IF SOMETHING FAIL. YOU COULD JUST BUY SCREEN REPLACEMENT OR GET A JTAG DUMP
3RD: do carefuly. if you are nervous calm down b4 doing this. one single command and u can format the nand so be careful.
4TH: I hope it Works for u .
5TH: u need to have adb seted up and also drivers. if you dont know how, search google(for drivers).
for adb just install minimal adb and fastboot
6TH: its recomended to test to see if cygwin(u will know what it is in a moment) is working (do some commands on it, like cd .. (to go back)or ls (list files) )
7TH: if u have any errors contact me asap and i will try to help you
LETS GO:
unlock the bootloader: (type in cmd prompt, fastboot oem unlock, and follow instructions on phone)(DO THE MANUAL WAY, DO NOT USE TOOLKITS, KEEP READING TO KNOW WHY)(it will say that u will loose files, but it actualy dosent format, it just change the 1st´s block of userdata partition to make it unmountable normally,thats why toolkits do fastboot format userdata after unlock.and tutorials say to format data in STOCk recovery, since custom ones dosent format, just delete everything except sdcard)
(do not format anything, even on stock recovery)
flash multirom recovery:http://d-h.st/pzv (Thanks@tassadar for his great work)(the only that i use, so i cant tell others)
then do this

Can't unlock device

Greeting team!
I need some help to unlock and access my pic/files on my nexus 4. I have a nexus 4 that runs on stock ROM, boot loader untouched, and Developer option turned on. Unfortunately, I dropped the phone on concrete and broke my screen. The device is functioning fine, charge, screens turn on off but doesn't register touch so I can't unlocked the devices. I have pattern lock and all I really need is to pull pics and files from the devices. Is there any way I can unlock the device other than physically from the screen? I checked with a local shop to replace the screen but realistically it would cost more to replace ($160) than to get a refurbished.
Any advice is greatly appreciated and thank you!!!!

I don't have that installed .. Was that the only hope to get unlocked through PC?

Adb is the software on PC that is used to interact with the android device. You can still install adb on your computer using one of the many guides on xda.

Care to elaborate or can you kindly point me to a thread with step-by-step applicable to my case

http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Here you go. It's not an xda thread, but I think it is good enough for you to understand and install adb. After you install this, you can send the commands through terminal to your phone. You might be able to pull the files off your device to the computer, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Sorry for lack of elaboration on my previous post.

Try connecting your device with an USB cable. Then use the shortcut you created when following the above guide to open the command prompt in the correct location. Then type in the command prompt: "adb devices" and press enter. If you see some numbers listed after that you can use adb to get files from your phone. If you don't I'm not aware of any way of getting access to your files.

Will test it out and thank you very much!!

[Q][Trouble]Broken screen, ADB Devices unauthorized. How to get data?

Hi Guys,
This is my first message in this forum even if I read so many useful stuff here in the last few years. So first of all thanks for the many useful tips
Now I am facing a problem that probably is prohibitive even for you gurus.
This morning I broke the screen of my nexus 4, I can still boot it and the os seems to work fine. Unfortunately the touch screen is totally gone and I am not able to unlock the security pattern and access the phone. The phone is stock and not rooted.
I would like to retrieve all the data stored in the phone and access some app, so I tought I could use [email protected] Unfortunately adb tool says: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog in your device.
Of course I can't access any confirmation dialog since the touch screen is not working. Then I tought I could go in recovery mode and do something but when I reboot in bootloader and then go into recovery mode I only see the green android and a message that sounds like "no command".
What can I do? The best option would be to unlock adb and take control of the device trough [email protected] Do you guys thinks it is possible?

Just a quick update: I was able to access the recovery mode but I can't find my device in adb devices list

Do you have USB debugging enabled? Is you bootloader locked or unlocked? If you boot into the bootloader, try using the command "fastboot devices" instead. You can only access adb from recovery with a custom recovery like TWRP.

Try TWRP instead of CWM. I think that will work. If it doesn't I at least know that TWRP will give you access to your sdcard so you at least can copy what's on there.

If I install latest TWRP recovery will it work with volume and power button? I can't use touchscreen and I am not able to find on google a version of the TWRP which is not touch

Oh, heh, forgot about that. Lol. Umm, don't think so unfortunately. But I don't think you actually need to touch anything. Just boot into TWRP and plug it into the computer. I might be wrong about ADB working with it though. But I'm sure you will be able to access your sdcard. Or can you access your sdcard when booting normally without entering your pattern? If so then that part is useless [emoji14]

Just flashed TWRP and I am able to use adb!!!
Now what should I do to "authorize" my device and be able to use [email protected] when reboot?

I'm not sure... Bit i think you should be able to get your data from the phone via adb without an app. I was originally going to suggest using the command "adb backup" but it seems like you have to allow that from your phone which you need your screen to do. You could try it when you are booted in TWRP maybe it won't need confirmation then? No idea. The command and it's various settings are detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351. I honestly forgot about the app and just thought about how to get adb working... Sorry [emoji14]

unfortunately as soon as I was able to run [email protected] I realided that it does not allow to control the device but only mirror the screen. Do you guys know if there is an app that allows to control the screen of a device? Now my device is debug authorized, rooted and with custom recovery.

What exactly are you trying to backup? If you want to backup the whole device I think it is possible to make a nandroid backup remotely from a computer with TWRP, but unfortunately I'm not sure how. Did you try the adb command? That should also backup everything I think, if it works that is...

I am trying to retrieve data from one application. The application is financisto and there I saved all my expense information for years. Probably this does not make sense to you but I really want to recovere those data. I don't know if financisto save the db somewhere inside the phone so I thought that the easiest way would be to control remotely the phone access the app and do a db backup and export.

Ahh i see, unfortunately I am not aware of any way to do that, but I'm not that knowledgeable about that so it is very possible there exists a very easy and obvious way.

Guys I finally did it!
I pulled the db of the app with the following command: adb pull /data/data/ru.orangesoftware.financisto
Then I installed the same application in another phone and I pushed my old db with adb push. When I started the application everything was there again :victory:
Thank you very much for your help!
