[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

Good idea, but still no salvation :/

Try uninstalling the mass storage driver for the phone, this worked for me

Oh Ehm Gee!!!!
That was perfect! I did that and I got what I needed. Now I'm off to root that som'bish.
+1 to you sir, +1 indeed

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.

Sounds like either you're not in the correct directory with your CMD window, or you didn't extract the files properly. Try extracting them again to a folder on your c: then open a cmd window there. Nvflash is really a simple app. Also, make sure you are in apx mode. Should see a icon in windows task bar, or you can check device manager.

A little tip, do search for cmd.exe on your pc, and then copy it to the folder where you would like to use it. Much easier than cd (change directory) or any other way that I know short of adding it to your right click menu. I keep a copy of it on my desktop so I can copy/paste it anywhere that I need it.

Make sure you installed the Acer drivers. At first I didn't b/c I had working ADB. You need those Acer drivers for the APX driver in there. I wasted an hour or two on that one!

I've tried that even tried a reinstall I'm pretty sure I'm typing in the commands wrong or when it says open cmd on V6-Unlocked-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-CWM folder I'm not sure does that mean just open up cmd and input that directory and then the commands or what?

Connect tablet to pc, make sure you are in apx mode , open the folder V6-unlocked.......... and click on the .bat that you want to run. It should start , no need to open cmd on the folder .

I got stuck but in different way altogether.
if you don't mind going back to 3.2.1 for a few minutes then I suggest doing that. it also installed CWM to which you can install your chosen ROM.
then after this you could just use blackthunders apx tool to flash your chosen bootloader.
I know your problem is totally different to mine and looks like you are just not in the right directory while trying to use nvflash but the way I suggest was very easy and works.
I cant post links right now but if you look in the thread for unlocking bootloader then I posted a link which should help you do it this way. its on page 47.
hope u get it sorted I spent many hours yesterday always getting stuck at various points but after many hours found an easier way.
cheers

Sweet I'll try civatos way then if that doesn't work I'll give it a shot I'm still on honeycomb boot loader so why not ;-) thnx again for the help......how does black thunders tool work sorry for incompetence I thought I knew about tech :'( any help would be appreciated

its basically GUI program which installs a bootloader of your choice in a few clicks.
of course u dont need the ICS bootloader if you were to choose to install FLEXREAPER rom after going through my method.
just install it by the recovery menu after going back to 3.2.1.
cheers
EDIT: If your already on the honeycomb bootlaoder (just noticed) you should be able to do it pretty easy and civatos way will work fine

Dug up this old threaad because i didnt feel the need to create a new one and still never solved this :/ no matter what i do it seems i get stuck at entering downoad mode it enters apx mode fine but wont enter download mode im on ics locked bootloader and have tried uninstall reinstall of drivers multiple times also tried switching pc's. Is there any preferred os to do this on? and does 64 bit vs 32bit matter?
Edit.....nevermind guys tried on a whole different comp and worked fine

plug the phone, open a terminal as administrator/root and type
adb stop-server
adb start-server
adb devices
the last command must return your device name-id
If not there is smth wrong with your installation

The device didn't show up do you know what I could have done wrong? Do I have to turn on mass storage? Could it have something to do with my drivers, can't remember installing any... And in the device manager I see four android with a orange triangle with am exclamation mark inside.

No you don't need to enable mass storage, but you need to enable USB debugging from dev settings from the device. Use these drivers

emmm... feeling kinda stupid right now... but how do i install the drivers? xD

I had the same issue updating my Nexus 7 in adb download mode device not found. You will also notice in system setting device driver is showing an error. You can download Adb driver installer which should detect any missing driver and fix the issue.
It worked for me straight away otherwise I had no way round getting to solve the problem. Fheww!! hope it works for you
Many Thanks.

adb is a special android thing. You need to install it to just use it anywhere. Do this:
1. Create a folder on your desktop (you can call it root or whatever you want).
2. Extract IORoot into folder created in step one.
3. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK and do "open command window here" (This is the most important).
4. type
Code:
adb devices
5. if you devices shows run the root.bat file to root your device.

This is just a thought, but maybe, power the phone off, power the PC off. Turn them both back on, re-read the instructions on how to root the phone. It sort of sounds like you could be missing just a little thing on the instructions. You may also try a different USB port on your PC too. I rooted mine back on iRoot 6 so I would have to think that iRoot 10 should be better then what I used.

It has been a while sense I rooted mine, but I think the fix for me was getting the drivers from the LG Site and using the LG Flash tool.

I had the same issue. I installed these lg drivers, not sure if they had anything to do with it because it still didn't work. What finally worked was when I turned off debug and may have been in mtp connection. Obviously after you have to put back in debug and ethernet connection to follow the ioroot method.

unfortunatly with ethernet on i am still getting the same results... its just not recognizing my device? at least now in the notification bar i get the notification that USB debugging is on so i guess im making progress? uggh this is getting pretty annoying any thoughts guys?

Run it directly from local drive root. IE C:/ Windows 7? Control alt delete. End the stale adb process, you should see two, one not performing sitting around 2000 kb ram and the other using ram. End that and it should force adb to kick in. I had to do this on win 7 multiple times with dif phones. It's like it locks up when finding the com port or whatever the hell it's doing. I take no blame if you screw up your device this way. I have resorted to a virtual xp for all my phone needs as not everything works in Linux.

Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Not sure if it matters but I am running 64 bit Windows 8
- In the instructions didn't you have to change a setting for the Com Port to get it to see the phone??
- Did you ever get the prompt on your phone to accept the Connection. I can not remember what it was, but it only comes up once, and I am not referring to the USB connection IE Ethernet??
- Are you sure you have Developer Options turned on?? The step where you keep tapping on the Developer thing and then the phone finally gives you the Developer Options??

Phones not showing up in ADB devices

so i'm trying to root my phone, and connected into fastmode...usb debugging is turned on.... but when i
try to run the adb device command ,my 996 is isn't showing up as devices connected in windows or mac....any suggestions?

Try changing the USB connection type?
For some reason, I had to select the option to connect my device for transferring photos instead of the usual file transfer for it to show up. Is there a particular guide you are using?
Perhaps someone with more knowledge could shed more light on the matter.
