Can't get ADB to recognize my Galaxy S

Hi All,
I must say first of all Galaxy S is amazing phone and I really love the display.
I'm trying to run lag fix via adb on my Galaxy S but all the time it says "error : device not found".
I've also got Nexus One and adb works fine with it.
I've rooted Galaxy S with BackfireNL instruction and also have latest busybox installed.
Am I doing anything wrong? As adb works with Nexus One but doens't work with Galaxy S.

Before connecting your phone to USB, please make sure that you have the following set correctly (note: translated, I don't have English locale set atm.):
- Settings / Applications / Development: enable (tick) "USB Debugging"
- Settings / About phone / USB settings: select "Mass storage", NOT "Ask" or "Kies"
The last setting in particular appears to be important in my case at least, because when connecting the phone I would get a time-out on my PC before being able to answer the "connect as?" question.
Next time you want to use Kies instead of adb, I would suggest undoing the above settings, to prevent problems connecting to Kies.
Hope this helps.

I think this setting is in the "wireless and network" > "USB settings" menu.
I haven't gone through the procedure myself. But AFAIK, getting the USB drivers are important, and an often missed step, in this process. Make sure that you connect to Kies in "Kies" mode instead of "Mass Storage" with debugging mode, start Kies, get the drivers installed. Then (maybe, but it should be better than not doing it) restart your computer. Make sure the drivers are all working, some people have had to reinstall.
Alternatively, you can just search for the drivers.

the best way is to set it to set the USB to ASK option every time you connect via the USB
Also you must enable the USB DEBUG mode under Applications Settings

[Q] mtp vs ptp

Please help if you can
My first 32gb Nexus 7 had no problems showing up as an mtp device on windows 7.
Am running a rooted 4.1.2 and all is well with mtp as well as adb, toolkits, etc.
I purchased one more as a gift, and that one can only be set to ptp in the internal storage settings.
If I try to set it to mtp, it takes, but does not show up in windows or in adb.
The only way to see it or use adb or a toolkit on it, is to set it to ptp which shows up as a camera with read only permissions.
Both tablets are using the same rom etc.
Have tried this on 2 PC's (win 7 as well as xp)
Any Ideas?
Thanks

On my (rooted) Stock 4.2.1 tablet, MTP mode only seems to show up if ADB Debugging is enabled.
Sort of odd; PTP will work whether or not ADB Debugging is turned on, but MTP only shows up when ADB debugging is also enabled.
If you have not enabled "Developer Options" on the tablet, go to
Settings->About tablet
and tap on the last entry ("Build number") 6 or 7 times in succession. This will allow the following menu item to appear under settings:
Settings-> {} Developer options
You can enable ADB debugging from there.
The PTP/MTP toggle control is at
Settings -> Storage -> Menu (top RH corner) -> USB Computer connection
good luck

Thanks, but I guess I was not very clear.
ADB Debugging is turned on but only works in PTP mode.
MTP does not work at all, even though it's checked.

Even after reading this and your 1st post, I am still a little uncertain.
I *think* you are saying that you want to get MTP working on the second unit. And I *think* you are also saying that (additionally) ADB only seems to work when you have PTP mode selected.
Reading between the lines - are you testing things with the same computer for both tablets? (Or, another way to put that, if the answer to this previous question is no, do you see any "Unknown Device" messages in the Device Manager when you toggle things around?)
I fooled around with mine not more than 30 minutes ago. Leaving it plugged into the PC the entire time (Win 7 Pro x64), I could toggle USB Debugging on/off and back and forth between PTP/MTP. Although I didn't actually try a live ADB session in both MTP/PTP modes, the file browser thing would pop up for PTP mode no matter what I had ADB debugging set to, and for MTP mode that would only happen if I had ADB debugging enabled. At no time did I see any unrecognized devices in the Device Manager.
And I think that what I just said above doesn't help you.... arghh.

First of all thanks for the interest.
Bottom line is as follows.
MTP mode does not work period.
However....
when I boot into recovery, (TWRP) the pc sees the usb connection, and I can use adb commands.
So it leads me to conclude that there is something off in the System files. But (and it's driving me nuts)
they are a clone of the first (MTP functioning) Nexus 7.
Thanks again

@OP
You can uninstall the drivers(all of the n7 drivers), then unplug, then replug it in, then let it install its drivers again. This solved the mtp issues other users had.

[q] usb debug

Hello for all.

Is someone have find USB DEBUG in the menu to activate an use some apllication like myphone for synchonyse with my PC.
Is somepne have a tutorial for make a root (safe as possible).
Thank for all can be help me.

For the USB debugging menu go to settings / about phone and click on build number like 7 times. That will enable developer options. There you will find the USB debugging option.

*sigh* This is the height of sillyness... What's next?
Galaxy Note 4: To enable debugging on the new-new Note 4 you'll need to -
1. Place phone on 33° surface
2. Insert S-Pen into headphone port
3. Click Volume Up and Down 6 1/2 times
4. Whistle dixey
NOTE: Must be completed after midnight, or your Note 4 will revert to a Note 3 and start cloning rabid versions of itself
btw - thx apascual89 for the help on the Note 3 tho, it worked. :good: Now TB is happy to backup!
p.s. I knew something was up when that new search function with settings wasn't finding any hits or partial hits on any of the developer settings i'm used to seeing (at first I thought it had just been moved or maybe relabeled)

device not showing up in debug monitor

I have my sg4 plugged into my laptop, but it is not showing up in the android debug monitor. I ran it as administrator, and the device does show up in my computer.

Do you have debugging enabled in Developer options? Make sure you have the right drivers installed otherwise you may need a reboot on both devices

I have the Nexus 7 drivers installed, and the adb interface.
and I do have debugging enabled.

I think that you need the Samsung drivers. The Nexus 7 drivers are different ones. So download them here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
They should also be installed if you install Kies.

There is a well-hidden menu that you may need to access.
Assuming you have developer mode enabled...
- Go to Settings, then Storage
- Click on the menu (top right)
- Select USB computer connection
You'll see 2 boxes:
- Tick 'media device'
I found that if neither box was ticked, I couldn't see my device...

Maybe the first time the dialog says "Allow this computer debugging" appears, you clicked NO.
Try go to Developer options and click "Revoke USB debugging authorizations", and reconnect the device.

Yu Yureka: Not Recognizing In PC Though Enabling The As MTP- Windows 8.1-32 bit- MTP

Yu yureka- not recognising in pc though enabling the as mtp- windows 8.1-32 bit- mtp
YU YUREKA- NOT RECOGNISING IN PC THOUGH ENABLING THE AS MTP- WINDOWS 8.1-32 BIT- MTP not recognising. I have downloaded and updated all drivers but still not working. pc is not recognising my phone. i have done all the things adb interface kindly help friends

which rom?
try enabling developer options and untick usb debugging , this might help

Since many guys are not able to connect their yureka phone to PC so for them this thread might be helpful. I was also facing the same problem, even USB computer connection setting was not popping up. So following are the steps to resolve that problem.
1. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Tap several times on Build Number to enable developer Options if you haven't enabled it yet.
2. Now You can see one setting titled "{ } Developer options" under Settings Menu. Tap on developer options and enable "Android Debugging".
3. Now connect your phone to PC via USB cable. Now You will see that your phone is successfully connected for debugging. Now without disconnection your phone from PC, go to settings->Storage->Menu (Three vertical Dots at top right corner of the screen). Now click on "USB computer connection", now the usb setting pop up will come. Now enable Media Device (MTP) checkbox.
4. Now you are ready to access your internal and external sd cards of your phone. Enjoy
