Check out http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html. I am not sure about the Sprint Mogul though? Try lsusb and get the Vendor code ie. 0bb4.

Since the Mogul is an HTC device it should be 0bb4.
Manufacturer-USB Vendor ID
Acer-0502
HTC-0bb4
Huawei-12d1
LG-1004
Motorola-22b8
Samsung-04e8
Sony Ericsson-0fce

yea it is the issue really was something in centos and the kernel this time. I upgraded it to fedora core and it worked with the same adb bin.

LG EVE adb access on ubuntu
I'm currently using an LG Eve(GW620R) and have had no luck getting adb to see the device on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I used to have an HTC Magic, and adb would recognize the Magic without any issues whatsoever, but I cannot seem to get the Eve to play nicely. Adb is properly set up, since I had full access to my Magic when I had it. I've edited my rules file to add in support for LG devices, but it still won't pick it up. I've tried changing the rules file to 51-android.rules, and I've also tried 70-android.rules, but neither one seems to want to work. I've rebooted my system, reloaded udev, changed the rules file to read every kind of device, regardless of manufacturer, but I still have had zero luck. I thought that linux was supposed to require next to no effort to set up adb, but I've been trying for 3 days now, and I've still gotten no farther then when I started. If I run lsusb while the phone is plugged in normally, it sees it, but adb does not, if I put the phone into emergency mode or fastboot, it shows a different device ID, but even adding in those IDs to my rules file, I still get nowhere. Any suggestions?
still not working
alright, so I've tried editing the rules files in all kinds of ways, I've tried running adb as root, I've got debugging enabled on my phone, I've followed every instruction I've found to the t, and I still have had no luck getting this phone to connect to adb. Can anyone give me any advice, or at least point me in the right direction? I've read a bunch of stuff about different kernels having issues with different phones, but I can't see my kernel being the issue if I could get my HTC Magic to work just fine. I'm hitting brick walls at every turn, and I've had no luck getting it any further than two weeks ago now. I'm running 9.10, Karmic Koala, I've got the newest sdk (which I think might be the issue since the Eve runs 1.5, but doesn't the newest sdk include all the old drivers as well?), and I've tried changing the rules file to be a higher number then any other rules file in my /etc/udev. Any advice or information that anyone could provide would be incredibly helpful. I really want to get rid of all this Rogers crapware that I'm stuck with. I'm open to pretty well anything anyone can suggest, and I'm more than willing to provide any further information that anyone might want to try and help me work this out. Thanks in advance
I have tried everything to get a one click solution to enable non-market apps. First and foremost I am on a MAC. No access to a windows machine. I have my phone rooted and have installed superuser status.
I am looking for a solution that will let me install (easily) non- market applications. There appears to be several solutions doing this on a windows machine. I have not been able to find a solution on a MAC. And instructions, help, videos anything is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: not a total nube, but I have limited knowledge of the root directory and manipulation, but follow instructions well ........
What firmware are you on? Because if you are on the leaked 2.2 you should look on the leaked ji6 hacks forum page and it will give you the instructions that you can run in adb shell in the terminal application on a mac you just have to type ./adb (command) where windows users just have to type adb (command) you should make sure that you are comfortable on adb though because there are hardly any tutorials for adb on a mac around. I found that the hard way. Hope this helps, if you still can't figure it out post more info and I will do my best to help although I am still kinda a noob to android development.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thank for the help, I will look at thie ji6 hack and see if it works. I'll let you know. Right now I have spent 3 days trying to unlock this pile of dung. ATT should be shot for doing this people. We bought the phone let us put what we want on it. PERIOD
Have you tried ADB? If you can get ADB to work, you should have the skill to copy over the settings.db and use the SQLeditor for Firefox plugin. Or use SQLite on the phone.
Read up on how to enable sideloading - the same commands that work on windows work on a mac - or very similar. As long as you know how to copy files in terminal you should be set.
Hello everyone I'm in the dinc2 forums. I'm a marine and the other day I was showing a guy I work with my s-off rooted dinc2 running miui and he immediately was interested. He has the inspire and I was looking for a little know-how on what to do and we don't really have the time to search religiously due to work. He's running stock 2.3.3 any help would be appreciated if you want to email me my email is [email protected]
Thanks!

Ace Hack Kit
That will walk you through the root/s-off/unlock process. It's been VERY much simplified over time, now it's just a 1 step process. Read the effen manual a few times before you start - but like I said, at this point it's very straight-forward.
Once installed hit up the MIUI thread. Basically you'll download the ROM to your SD, boot to recovery, perform a wipe, and flash the ROM
And thank you for your service and dedication to this wonderful country of ours!
He said the adb drivers won't connect
Any specific error messages? At what point is this happening? Is he trying to run the hack kit or just trying to access an ADB shell?
The hack kit contains all necessary adb files/drivers
Make sure he's done all of this:
Make sure HTC USB Drivers for Android are installed (included in the Hack Kit @ tools/windrivers)
Disable all malware detection, including Windows Defender
Uninstall HTC Sync
Uninstall Droid Explorer
Uninstall iTunes or stop service
Uninstall Other phone pda or tablet software
We just tried on our lunch we disabled everything the HTC drivers were already installed with sync uninstalled. We were at the pre-step where you run the command as an admin and the command window comes up for a second and closes itself. Does his phone need temp root to run the kit?
trouble rooting my phone
when i run the hack as admin on windows 7 it give an error message this is what the error message says
check adb connectivity
shad0fox04/2011
service not running
error error error
phone not plug in or driver not installed or usb debugging not enable
error error error
pres any key to continue the it just cut off i checked all of that and everything is good to go so what is the problem lol
did u ever find out y adb wont connect im having d same problem

Did you install the drivers that came with the kit just to be safe?? I just did this like 2 days ago and it worked perfect..

Has he by any chance tried a different USB port? And is the phone in charge only mode, it's not mounting itself as a disk drive automatically? I don't know how feasible it might be, but if he has another computer available try running it there and see if you get any different results. At least then we might be able to narrow down better whether it's the software, the computer, or the phone.

Another simple thing that I have to ask about...you guys did extract all the contents of the hack kit somewhere on your computer, correct? You're not trying to run it from the .zip?
If it is extracted,
go to the tools\win\ directory.
Hold Shift and Right-Click in an empty spot, select "open command window here"
type "adb devices" and hit Enter
You should see 12 alpha-numerics listed under "List of devices attached"
If you don't see anything under this, then for some reason adb isn't recognizing your phone is plugged in. In which case I'd try a different USB port or computer
I posted this question over on Phandroids but this forum seems perhaps more appropriate. My Lenovo laptop running XP sees my phone just fine (Samsung Gravity Smart SGH-T589) and I'm able to transfer files to/from the phone. However, adb doesn't seem to be able to see it. A search about this problem turns up solution suggestions that mostly involve drivers, but my Samsung driver is up to date and clearly working (or else the phone wouldn't show up to Windows and I wouldn't be able to transfer files). My phone is rooted, which also makes it obvious that my laptop can talk to it just fine -- I used OneClick to root it last week using the same computer.
I'm using the DOS prompt (cmd) to run adb, and adb works fine. It simply doesn't see any devices. Here's an actual text transcript:
===============================
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
error: device not found
C:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools>
===============================
Any ideas? I'm pretty new to this, so perhaps I'm missing something really simple. I hope so anyway!

Make sure that USB debuggin is enabled on your device. (This option should be changed only while device is disconnected from USB).
Also, try to restart adb server by killing it from the device manager.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had indeed already done both of those things. USB debug must be enabled to do file transfers, so I already knew it was definitely on. I still cycled it off/on anyway to make sure. And I did both kill-server and start-server commands as part of my checkout to assure myself that adb was in fact working correctly. I had Windows task manager up as well so I could watch adb disappear and reappear with those commands.

Hmmm... Try to reboot both your computer and device.
Have you tried to connect other devices to ADB? May be there is a problem with ADB installation?
Phone and laptop have both been rebooted many times. I also tried it with the phone in charge-only mode because that's what One Click Root required, but nothing changed. I also tried using all of the different USB ports on my laptop and tried two different USB cables, although that was silly because the phone is obviously talking to the laptop via USB. It shows up in file explorer, and I am able to transfer files using Windows drag and drop.
I'm afraid I have only one device, my recently rooted Samsung Gravity Smart phone, so I can't try it out on anything else.
I'm not sure how the adb installation could be at fault since the commands work as long as they don't involve the USB port. And I know that it MUST be possible to shell to the phone with what's already on this computer because One Click did it. I tried running the adb commands from the One Click Root > ADB directory just in case something about that particular install of adb was different, but I got exactly the same result.
It seems to me that I must be failing to do some setup step that an experienced Android developer might know about. I've never done anything like this before, so I wouldn't have even known about downloading the Android sdk if it weren't for forums like this! I sure appreciate the community of knowledgeable people here, who are clearly willing to help newbies like me.
If there are any software tools that anyone can suggest using to help me figure out what's going on, please let me know.
EDIT: Is there something that I need to load on my phone before adb will work? It occurs to me that OneClick might push something to the phone when it does the root, then delete it when the task is complete. I tried using QTadb, which is an adb GUI, and got the same result: no devices seen on the port even though Windows sees my phone and can talk to it via USB.

Firstly, thank you for this great forum! I've already found a lot of great info on here, and love my new phone. I was trying to get drivers on my PC to start rooting my phone, but now that I can't even do that, I'm unsure that I should even be trying to root at all. Most, if not all of the driver's links that I've found here are dead so I tried a few other methods: Plugging in the phone after selecting USB debugging. Windows searched for drivers automatically, but found none. Downloaded HTC Sync, but it doesn't recognize my phone. I'm confused because I was already able to transfer my mp3's to the SD card via usb, but otherwise it seems like my phone isn't recognized.
My HBoot is the 1.45.0013, so I take it that it can't easily be turned S-off, but I probably don't need that anyway for what I want. I simply want to be able to remove all of the bloatware, and have access to functions like CPU control. For just that, I think that rooting while S-on will be fine?
I know that this is an old phone, but I bought it because the specs are still quite good, and I was able to get it brand new on Amazon for a song...............I would hope that there are at least drivers still available for it. Thanks for any help in advance!

ADBSetup will get you the drivers you are looking for:
http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
Worked for any Android phone I tried.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot and see what happens!
Okay, I installed the driver from ADB, but still can't get HTC Sync to work...........................from reading other threads, it sounds like that's a common issue, though. Is there any way to confirm that I have the drivers installed? Under "devices and printers" on my PC, it will recognize an android phone when the phone is set to disk drive or charge only, but not USB tethering. When I switch the phone to the tethering option, the phone's icon on the PC moves from devices to unspecified. Then when I hover over it, it says there's no drivers. Again, I'm in debugging mode and have already copied MP3's to the SD, but I'd just like to confirm whether or not I have the needed drivers before starting the root process.
Thanks,

Easiest way to tell is open up a command prompt in the folder that adbsetup installed to (C:\ADB I think) and type:
Code:
adb devices
If all is well, then the device will be part of the listing.
Thanks Joel.............I think it worked.
The ADB command came back with:
List of devices attached
HT22_______7 device
That's not a number that I've ever seen associated with my phone, but I assume that's it.
Confirmed.................I was able to reboot the phone by ADB!
Excellent! This will also mean the fastboot commands needed to unlock your bootloader will work too.
.........one would think so, Joel, but I can't get fastboot to do anything. ADB recognizes the phone, and will reboot into bootlocker, but once there it'll do nothing. Windows pops up a message shortly after bootlocker opens that says something to the effect of "there was a problem with USB device not recognized". I tried the command "fastboot devices", but got nothing. I know that I'm darned close, and it's probably something simple, but just can't get it to work. Maybe I need additional drivers for fastboot, or need to move it to another directory?
Thanks,
~E
Interesting. Try this:
Go into fastboot mode on the device, with the USB cable plugged in. On the computer, open up device manager. What is read for Android Device? Is there a noted problem with the driver? Open the properties for that device, and select Update Driver. The search process should find something appropriate now (as ADB Setup saves the drivers in the system32 folder - I think).
If not, what kind of user did you run ADBsetup as? If it was one without admin privileges, try installing again as admin (this allows the drivers to be saved where you want them to be).
If there are still problems, unfortunately I cannot think of anything else.

I'm almost sure that the problem lies with the drivers now, but just don't know how to fix it!?! In device manager the phone moves into different categories, depending on the connection type; Charge only, and disk drive both work fine, but the icon for tethering shows no drivers installed. After rebooting into bootlocker the phone automatically switches to tethering, so I assume that's needed for getting root. I can't install drivers when the phone's in tethering from device manager, with either auto or manual. It just won't take! I've tried re-installing HTC sync, removing and re-installing multiple driver files, and the phone's just not being recognized. The sync instructions say that it should be a connection option on the phone also, but I've only ever seen the three: charge, disk, and tether. As for user, I'm pretty sure that I did install ADB as admin...............not sure how to check for that now, but the drivers are not in system32 like you mentioned; they're in program files (x86). Maybe the location of the drivers is the only problem I'm having, but I don't know where I want them to be? I hate quitters, but soon I'll just be enjoying the stock ROM for the best of it, if these problems persist!

Uh-oh. Either the link was dead when I went through this process back in April, or I had bad organizing skills at one point and didn't put the file in the Doubleshot folder before completing a purge. Either way, I don;t have the file.
Nor did I really need it. The second Doubleshot I rooted I ended up using it in my native Linux environment (no drivers needed), vs my Windows XP emulated through VirtualBox. That's what you could do. Get a live Debian DVD (Im like the XFCE desktop version), boot in, get fastboot:
Code:
sudo apt-get install fastboot
And then use fastboot:

I do really appreciate your time and help, Joel.....with as many dead links and outdated drivers that I've found, I don't think I could've got root otherwise!

Just need the one. My recommended file to download is this:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd...ybrid/debian-live-7.6.0-i386-xfce-desktop.iso
Burn the image (not the file) onto a DVD (can be a rewritable) and reboot with the disc in the drive. Once it's fully loaded, you can either enter commands by clicking on the "terminal" icon on the bottom of the screen (preferred), or press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to get a prompt (may have to log in as "user", there shouldn't be a password). Hope this helps.
