Message in adb: device offline - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I use adb and type in adb devices, it returns the device name so I know it's recognized but then it says" device offline". Then when I type in "adb shell" it returns "error: device offline" so can't use adb. Any help?

please little help on "adb"

When i try typing " adb devices" in CMD.
I get
"list of devices attached"
what am i doing wrong?
You need to be in bootloader, turn off, then turn on while pressing and holding the trackball. Make sure USB debug is enabled in the N1 Applications setting.
did as u said still the same thing "list of devices attached"
i downloaded latest sdk2.0
and did all as the google page says. its weire why it doest read ADB
fastboot read fine when i write fastboot devices, it show the serial of the phone...
can i add applications through fastboot? instead of adb?

I have the exact same problem. Did you ever figure it out?
What directory are you working out of? If you did the default install of the Android SDK. Try this:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then:
Code:
adb devices
You have to open the command prompt from within the tools folder from sdk folder.
Also, its never worked for me while my phone is in the bootloader, i run abd commands while my phone is booted normally (with debugging enabled).
I use adb shell stop, adb remount, whatever commands you wanted to do originally, adb shell reboot.
Hope that helps, good luck man.
Sounds like maybe the driver isn't installed correctly. Check your device manager and see if the N1 shows up in there and what it's named.

That is fastboot, fastboot for the bootloader, ADB for everywhere else
Are you on windows or linux?
Also try "adb remount" when you are in the /tools folder, then try "adb devices"
Make sure USB Debugging is on..that could be it

How to make adb work?

I've searched a lot, but did not find a solution.
When I connect my HTC Kaiser with Android Ion 1.5 on the top to my Linux box (all UDEV settings are as recommended), the adb utility (launched as root) does not recognize it correctly. It shows a set of questionmarks instead of the device name:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
???????????? device
adb basic commands (pull/push/install/shell) work, though, but DDMS does not work and I can't debug my application when the device is attached.
Does somebody have a solution?
You need to run the adb server as root. Use su or sudo to run these:
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
You can then use adb and ddms as a normal user. If you use fastboot, you may find you need to run that as root as well.
it is root

Like I mentioned in my question - I do run adb as root.
When it's launched not as root, I can not even do "adb shell" and
"adb devices" shows:
"????????????? Permission denied". So, it is root, I assure.
BTW, on my work Windows 2k3 machine I can use ddms, but
"adb devices" still shows some garbage letters instead of the device name.
Sorry for my English, if my explanation is not clear.

Amazon Kindle Fire 6.2.2 Rooting on a Mac

I've been primarily following the instructions available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443071, however I've run into some basic issues.
When I run BurritoRoot3 (verified off the big red 3 in the app), the app does not give me a "root" option and immediately opens a dialog box requesting me to "run /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root" through adb to start the process?"
I have the kindle device listing in "adb devices" as "7A7C002600000001 device"
I try to run the command listed and get an error that the bin file does not exist.
"adb reboot" does reboot the device
"adb root" gives me "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
the one automatic script for mac & 6.2.2 keeps giving me "error: device not found" errors.
-----
Everything I can find to test the computers install of ADB seems to verify that its working correctly and my forum searching + google search skills are failing me: anyone know some forum threads that cover this?
- the app does not give you a root option - it only guides you what to do
- have you followed all steps ?
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp
adb install BurritoRoot3.apk
<go open the app now>
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install
maybe you have to do the adb commands with ./ in front (eg ./adb whatever)

You have to make sure that you do this command:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp
Otherwise it will not make a "BurritoRoot3.bin" file, which means no root.
Install the BurritoRoot3.apk on your kindle, and go into the app.
After that is finished, input:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root
Then:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223 which has that chmod command in it. Naturally I found that thread 10 minutes after I posted and was so dumbstruck with myself that I didn't post a reply to my own post.
The device is rooted now and I installed the Alpha Release of MIUI 4.0.? and naturally a few things don't work. Trying again with MIUI's 2.3 stable release (don't know the version number off the top of my head)
Thanks for the quick reply and looking out

[GUIDE] Fixing "Debugging mode pop-up"

Hello, recently I've ran into a stupid problem after unlocking bootloader on my M7. Here is what happened, after unlocking I was not able to use my phone in debugging mode, the authorization pop-up didn't show up wherever I connected my phone to PC in ADB mode. This was not Drivers fault I just lost RSA Key, I managed to get it back, I hope it will help you also.
To get RSA keys you need to do next thing.The trick is to create the .android directory elsewhere, for example on the SD Card:
You need Android Terminal Emulator and Root for this operation. ( Link to Android Terminal Emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en )
Open Android Terminal Emulator and write:
adb kill-server
HOME=/sdcard adb start-server
At this point you should have /sdcard/.android and the 2 keys in it.
Then just copy adbkey from your phone to your computer into C:/Users/YOURNAME/.android then write in terminal.
stop adbd
start adbd
Then connect you phone in ADB mode Wifi or USB and check again:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Now authorization prompt should pop up!
This issue is also known as Unauthorized device in ADB mode.
Good luck!

help rooting my phone

help rooting my phone
I'm new to android and try to rooted my phone (Samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f)
i used all the different manuals and rooted my phone with "CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f".
so now i can open shell and enter su command.
however that wasn't enough i needed to run "adb root" command,
but that gave me the error "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
so i used another manual and changed default.prop file in boot.img.
i changed ro.secure = 0
and ro.debuggable = 1
now when i run "adb root" it returns "restarting adbd as root" but nothing happens!
after i open the shell im not rooted until i enter the su command.
so i'm assume that "adb root" is not working properly.
does anyone have any advise?
Thanks very much for the helpers
..
Thanks for your reply
I will try to be more clear because my English is not the best.
what i need is the adb to run as root. because i need to use "adb remount".
when i send "adb root" i get the reply "restarting adbd as root"
when i send "adb remount" i get "remount failed: Permission denied"
when i'm using the adb with the "su" command i have root access and everything is working properly.
I cant use a work around with the "su" command because im using a pc program that sends "adb root" and "adb remount" and it fails because "adb remount" failed on permissions
