[Q] adb error:device not found[Solved]

I get this error when i try to connect my tab to adb ..do you guys have any ideas what i can do to make it to work?
I mention that i have the drivers(from Kies),usb debugging is enabled and adb works on my phone.

I believe you need the android usb drivers supplied by google to get it to connect. They can be downloaded using the sdk package manager. Also I'm not sure it will work having the Samsung drivers installed and you may have to uninstall them first.

they are installed already since i installed the whole sdk manager pack

What drivers are showing up when you plug in the device? If it says Samsung then you don't have the android drivers installed. And I believe you can't have both installed only one or the other as only one will load when you plug in the device not both.

I have the Samsung Android ADB Interface driver(although is not showing when i plug in the device) and the drivers which came with sdk manager

When you plug the device in, under Device Manager in Windows, there should be listed Android Composite ADB Interface under the device. If not the Google USB drivers were not installed properly.

yeah I dont think my theme is the culprit, there are many reasons why ADB wouldnt show devices. Also Heimdall>Zadig is good for drivers.
run sdk manager and install latest google drivers as well.
are you on Windows OS?

nope,not your theme its the culprit..cuz i didnt install it and i cant install it cuz of no adb connection which is required by a tool named AutoDEOTool1.0.3
I installed latest google driver via sdk manager too..
yes,on Win 7 64 bits
*pulling hair*

I didn't have my usb cable yesterday to check it out but adb actually works with the Samsung drivers. Device Manager>Android Phone>SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface. And when I type the command "adb devices" it shows up. This works both if you plug the tablet in wihtout powering it up and when its turned on so I'm not sure what your problem is. I do have Kies installed on the laptop too so yours should be working if you installed the sdk and drivers correctly.
Which Tab do you have? I have the 6210 unlocked wifi only, it could be other models work differently. Not sure if you have a locked bootloader that you can access the tab through adb.

GT P6200 European
and here is what i get on cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Tavi>adb devices

EDIT:SOLVED!
Thank you all for answers

How did you solve this?

I input in cmd adb fastboot reboot and suddenly the device got the command and then recognized my tab..(pretty strange i know)

make it done

[Q] TF101 usb dosent't get connected to linux and windows...

Ok,
I'm not new here but Im new with a TF101...
I have 3 rooted devices at home.
Now when I plug the TF that I bought used, it dosent get detected. I mean at all!
Not "!" yellow in windows and nothing it linux, no noise nothing.
I have usb dev checked...
Now, do I need usb 3.0 to just get it detected and root it using xp or linux???

Any way to root without computer?

I've been having the exact same problem for a few months now , I reckon i either have a faulty usb cable or the port has been damaged . I hope there's a software fix for this .

New usb cable?

I've not managed to fix it yet . When i plug my TF into my pc it seems to think its charging but the pc doesn't register it at all , if i get a new usb cable and it works i'll report back .

Well does anyone know if this is a problem with the cable or not ?

I have the same problem. I sent my tf101 to the Asus service center to have it repaired. When it came back it would connect to the PC. After a few months it would not connect. Same problem. It appears to me to be software related somehow. In my case the cable has nothing to do with it. None of the suggestions on this or other forums work. Asus does not respond. Maybe Jelly Bean will fix it. Or maybe not.

are you able to ./adb connect to the asus via usb? if so then that will tell you that the problem is not the cable, it's not the usb version, it's not the device hardware. its likely a driver install issue in windows. i would boot into android and make sure that android debugging is selected in the developer settings menu. then try an adb connection. im not sure about how to install all the stupid drivers in windows because i do everything in linux and its soooooo much simpler.
f it is in fact the hardware cable or port that is not working properly then you can always move files to and from the device over wlan connection, with either adb tcp connection, or using some file manager such as es file explorer. just remember as long as you can get an
./adb connection to your android then anything is fixable. ADB IS YOUR FRIEND. get to know it well.

same problem here...tried everything except format the pc (running windows 7)
I have a simple question for the people WITHOUT problem connecting tf101: when you connect the tablet (mtp or not) what do you see on the screen of the pc? something related to autoplay? Are you able to copy, move files to and from the tf101 like a usb stick?

I dont ever connect my devices as mass storage to he computers at all. i just do everything via ./adb usb or ./adb tcp connections over wifi. or i use es file explorer setup as an ftp server on my devices and move files around that way if i need to. but i went ahead and pulled out my windows asus tf101 drivers and sync app and linked them for you at the bottom. my advice really is to lose windows and stick with doing everything on android with linux. soooo much better.

thank you for your long reply! and obv for the files, I'll give it a try!
I admit that sometimes I used swiftp (over wifi) but every time I have to disconnect pc & tablet from the modem...Sometimes use bluetooth but it's too too slow!!! thank you again!!!

I understand but how do you root using adb tcp???

when I rooted moths ago I used "razorclaw" (and my tf101 is a b70). I use adb with other devices and is very cool but I never need to use with the tf101...

ok so adb over a tcp connection it works pretty much like adb over usb except your connection is done over the network. so lets say your tf101 and your computer are both on the same WLAN. you can enable enable adb over tcp and connect to it with the computer over the network. however to enable adb tcp connections you need to already have root.

I have both Linux and Windows systems. My TF101 does not connect on either machine. My assumption is I have a internal problem. I have tried two different cables and systems. I need to ROOT the TF101 and upgrade to Jelly Bean. From this post I am told to use ./adb commands over tcp and I appreciate that, but I need to have a rooted TF101.
The ultimate question is can I root the TF101 without using the usb connector? I suspect not, but will defer to the expert developers.
I have tried with settings in various selections like MTP "yes" or "no", Developer USB "yes" or "no" or both on or off at the same time. I have loaded and unloaded Windows Asus Sync and USB drivers many times.
The strange thing is if I am attached to the keyboard, I can see any USB thumb drives attached to the keyboard including my USB serial adapter. I would think USB would not work if the cable does not work. Also if anyone has a link to instructions for loading ADB on Linux Mint 13 64bit, I would appreciate the link.
Thank you in advance.

beware of usb cable
Hi,I personnally own a TF101 sb50.
I had some trouble with usb. Tha cable was ok for charging but didn t register correctly under an usb connection ( it showed up and got kicked out in windows didn t register in lsusb on linux)
If you check the diagram for the cable, it s well endowed there 's resistance inside the cable, and multiple connection.
Depending on your version it doesn t use the same pin, even if it's the same cable.
You can buy a cable on ebay for around 10 euro in europe ( i did it s ok) or buy it cheaper from china(no idea about quality).
to sum it up even if your cable work with another TF, it doesn t mean your cable is not faulty ( i have bounce a nano osci on the faulty cable , and it showed no apparent flaw.) and buying a new one was the solution for me.
good luck for rooting (sb50 :: no need to adb)

The ADB thru WiFi solution worked perfectly for me thankfully, and I am one of the many others who have been having major trouble getting Windows and Linux to recognize the Intercept.
Not sure if this is a duplicate post somewhere, but here's my version using Linux:
1. Go to the Play Store and download the 'ADB over Wifi Widget' app.
2. After installed on your device, the app should be on your home screen. Tap it once to toggle on. You should see an IP address and a port #.
Note the IP address, as this is the address of your device.
3. Open a terminal in Linux.
4. CD to the folder that contains your ADB files. (example: cd /androidsdk/platform-tools)
5. Enter the following code:
chmod 755 ./adb
./adb connect <enter IP address here without brackets of course>
6. You should now be connected to your phone.
Hope this helps...

ok when you say that the tf101 doesnt connect in either your windows or linux machine, what do you mean exactly? you mean it doesnt show up as a mass storage device or an MTP device? and have you downloaded and installed the android-sdk in linux? and when you connect the tf101 to your linux machine, do yo uhave usb debugging enabled in the developer settings menu, and are you using the "./adb devices" command in the linux terminal from your /android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory?
also you should be able to flash a custom recovery which will enable you to flash custom rom without using the usb cable. theres a couple files that you need to put on your tf101 in the /sdcard/ directory first.
one is the recovery blob and if you want to keep the stock rom and kernel but just root it then youll need the superuser zip i have included both of them at the bottom.
for starters you need to install a terminal emulator app on the tf101 from the play store.
then once you have the recovery blob on your device in /sdcard/ you can continue. (remember /sdcard/ is the internal memory not the micro sd card)
start the terminal emulator on the tf101 and enter these commands.
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
exit
(open another terminal window on the tf101 and enter these commands)
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
(now reboot the tf101 when it boots into android start the terminal emulator app again then enter these comands)
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit
(now you should have a team rogue recovery flashed to your tf101)
reboot your tf101.
now you can hold the vol -down button while you power on the tf101 you will see a message at the top of the screen that says soomething like "Checking for RCK" when you see that press the vol- up button right away, this should boot you into the team rogue recovery where you can flash custom roms or just flash your superuser.zip to get root.
hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it works for you.
remember you have to extract the recoveryblob from the zip folder before you move it to the /sdcard/ on your asus. the superuser.zip can remain zipped though.

I had the same problem:
windows will not notice my transformer (rooted).
( usb debugging is on, android 4.0.3 with Android Revolution HD 3.5.1.)
i know in the past it works.
adb list ( of devices) ist empty also. Same Problem with the two cables i have.
can you give me a help what i can do?
Sorry for my poor english

[Q] No matter what ADB reports "List of devices attached" EMPTY

Not sure where to post this. I have worked with roms many many times on android over the years without any trouble. I am on OSX macbook air with brand new HTC One M8 trying to S-OFF. No matter what I try I get this running ADB: "List of devices attached" EMPTY. Nothing listed.
WeakSauce rooted phone no problems.
1. HTC Sync connects to phone just fine.
2. Brand new Android SDK downloaded for use
3. Tried using sudo ./adb devices
4. Tried USB debug switch on/off
5. Tried USB unplug/replug
6. Tried phone on/off
7. Tried macbook on/off
8. System Profiler shows USB HTC device connected
What else can I do to make this work. Starting hour 5 of attempts. Any help much appreciated.

The HTC Sync app on your laptop should be removed. You only needed it to install the drivers, then per the Firewater instructions, Sync should be uninstalled. I don't know if that's what's causing your problems, but try it.

How did you do it..mine also says "list of devices attached "..

Step 1 : stop adb by typing code
adb kill-server
Step 2: remove the usb cable from the computer and phone
Step 3: disable usb debugging on your phone
Step 4: Enable usb debugging on your phone
Step 5: Connect usb to your phone and computer
Step 6: kill adb server by typing the code
adb kill-server
Step 7: ???
Step 8: Profit

USB debugging not working properly (on Ubuntu)

Hello,
I just got a new U11, hoping to use it to test/debug my Android apps. But I cannot get it connect to ADB reliably. I have tried everything I could, including
enabling developer options + USB debugging
adb kill-server, adb start-server and adb devices
revoking USB debugging authorizations
authorizing & remembering my PC
I've tried countless combinations of the above, but adb keeps showing unauthorized or offline. Very very occasionally adb shows "connected", but Android Studio freezes when I run my app. When I unplug, Android Studio immediately unfreezes. But again, when I plug my phone it becomes unauthorized/offline.
My other Android phone works without any issues. Is it a bug with the stock firmware?
The phone is running stock European firmware, with everything stock (including locked bootloader).

Could anyone please test/confirm this on their Linux laptop/desktop? Any fixes? Thanks a lot!

Strangely, it works on Windows. Maybe Ubuntu kernel update yesterday broke adb :crying:

I get my phone tomorrow and will update adb and try to connect. Have you tried starting the adb server as root?
sudo adb start-server

Yes, I did all adb commands after $ sudo -s
As it works without any problems on Windows, perhaps I should ask on a Linux forum?
For now I would use Windows until I found a solution

Haha, at least the issue is not unique to my phone (and laptop) :laugh:
I suspect Android SDK is most well tested on Windows, at least everything is already set up for you. But Linux allows you to run most dev tools in your HOME folder, so they don't mess things up.
Hopefully someone comes up with a fix.

My Xiaomi running LineageOS (basically AOSP) doesn't have any issue. Perhaps HTC Sense heavily modified some USB options?

I have no problem with my M8 and my computer.
Android "is" Linux. By that, at least, tools like adb and fastboot must be very well tested under Linux :angel:.
Try to open you computer file browser and to browse or copy some files from/to your computer/phone. I'm unable to do that also.
I tried to root my phone in the same day I received it and I was getting really worried because I was unable to use fastboot (I by that I was thinking that my device was defective), even the simple "fastboot getvar all". Then I remembered to switch to another computer and voilà, everything was working perfectly.
Maybe HTC has something broken in the USB3.0 stack.

File transfer and fastboot don't work on my Ubuntu either.

Got it working by downloading adb straight from Google instead of using the Arch package.

ADB

Can someone explain me how to get ADB working on my SGS8? I've tried everything: installing drivers, Java, Android SDK, 15 sec adb driver, universal ADB driver, minimal adb. I can't figure out how to do that.

Do what? Get an ADB shell with a pc?
Just install the samsung drivers from here, enable debugging in developer options on your phone and connect via usb

Thanks, will try that

i was having one hell of a time as well. I tried everything on my laptop to no success. So i actually gave up. Than i thought well maybe its my laptop. So i ended up trying another one i had in the house and viola it worked like a charm. It seems like certain pc are just unable to connect to the samsung s8 via adb mode. Which is totally weird because I had been using adb mode on my pixel xl with no issues what-so-ever. So try a different pc if you can, it worked for me flawlessly.

Might be the USB port.
I had a similar problem connecting my Lenovo laptop to a Kindle Fire. I used a different USB port and everything worked.
