ADB Can't find Device - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I have tried everything and I can not get my device to show up in ADB for the life of me. I have verified my supercid thru adb, but can't get my device to show up. I've installed htc sync, updated drivers, even downloaded the tool multiple times. I thought I read back when I rooted that i needed to uninstall htc sync, is this correct?

Nobody? Come on guys help a brother out.

TRy ending task on htc sync, a different usb port, and different usb cable, and make sure its not usb3.0.

I'm pulling what's left of my hair out over this, too. I've tried uninstalling all drivers and HTC software, and not letting Windows install the default drivers. I've changed USB ports. I've tried reinstall HTC sync only, but the phone still doesn't show up in adb. Device is recognized both booted into the ROM and in recovery/bootloader, just not by adb.
Grr

How did you ever root your phone if adb doesn't recognize it?

That's the weird part. I have root, recovery, but for whatever reason I can't get adb and my phone to talk.

Its funny you having these problems... I usually have no trouble with adb, however last night I tried to s-off my cousins hox... Fastboot works fine, when I get to the adb push it won't recognize in adb. So I tried mine, won't recognize... Rebooted both phones and my computer. No go..
So I tried my wife's computer... No go...
I don't understand either
Edit: while I was at it I tried cleanrom, dirty ROM, and cm10.1

I have this problem too when I am trying to get adb devices with windows 8 64bit. My devices always appears offline. But when I trying with windows 7 32bit, viola.. its work! Maybe there is something wrong with 64bit platform (or just mine?)
Sent from my HTC One X

Are you guys trying adb commands? Or just stopping when "adb devices" returns nothing? Because I noticed this when I upgraded everything on my phone this past weekend.
I was able to ruu, push files, etc., but "adb devices" returned nothing. I was on 64-bit Win7 with USB 3.0.

I've tried windows XP and windows 7... Tried shooting a bunch of adb commands with no success... "Device not found"
I've always had success with adb, as I use it quite often for the custom sense lockscreens

I had this problem a little while ago. Only a reinstall of windows helped:banghead:. During the meantime though I booted up a virtual machine and ran the commands through it.
Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita

That's an idea, a virtual machine.
I pulled an antique desktop out of the closet that ran on some ancient version of xp and solved that problem. I never got over "devices not found" on any other new computer with my hoxl or wifeys x+. I tried everything everyone will ever tell you.. Random assortment of usb cables, ports, installed HTC sync and HTC sync manager a trillion times, tried creating a file with my hexadecimal I'd number in them.. Even tried running the cmd or Adb as administrator.
In the words of jcase: windows sucks. Fix your environment.

Did you check Task Manager and kill all HTC and adb functions? HTC sync keeping stuff running even when you close it. That worked for me.

My phone wasn't coming up as "Android Phone" or "HTC" in the "Device Manager" on Windows 7. Would only show it as "G:/" under "Portable Devices" thus disabling me from installing the proper drivers.
[SOLVED]
I plugged my phone in, and uninstalled G:/ in device manager (Your letter may be different).
Then I went into "Disk Management" and found the removable drive G:/. Right click and go into which ever option was to change the letter. Go ahead and pick another letter (make sure it's different from any other drives you may have, I went with Z).
Unplugged my device, made sure debugging was on, and plugged it back in. Device Manager now shows my phone as "Android Phone" Success!

I got mine working last night, but I have to be honest that I have no idea exactly what it is that worked. Here's what I did:
Uninstall HTC Sync and ALL HTC stuff.
Toggle developer modes on and off a few times
Reinstall HTC Sync
Windows tries to install drivers, but I forced it to uninstall them.
Manually install the drivers included with HTC Sync
And... it works now. I'm not sure what was different this time around, but I won't complain.

I also noticed this when I tried to flash CleanROM 6 from Newt's JB. Neither Newt's nor CR6 (installed successfully without adb) were recognized on PCs and ports I had used to root my Evita. I think this has something to do with JB or the "debloated" versions.
When I connect my Evita, I no longer receive the charge/drive/tether toast notification. USB debugging is set in settings. Had to install "adbWireless" app to get adb to work properly, and of course that means that I have two devices connected via adb/fastboot if I reboot to recovery or bootloader. What a PITA, I will try on a USB 2.0 port to see if that has any more success.
****EDIT-RESOLVED****Like belyle, I had to force USB debugging off, and this took several attempts. Even with Developer Options turned off, USB debugging would turn itself on when the phone was plugged in to the computer via USB. Somehow this locked the phone from being recognized. Finally got USB debugging shut off, and manually turned it on again and adb/fastboot worked normally. I did not have to uninstall or reinstall anything. I am currently running CR6.
As I mentioned before, this is something that was set by default on a cooked ROM and think that is what is causing this issue.

I'm sorry for activating an old thread, but I've had the same issues and the fix for me was to use my USB 2.0 port instead of the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop. As soon as I plugged it into a USB 2.0 slot the phone booted right up without issue and could be seen through ADB, plugged it back into the USB 3.0 and "error: device not found" kept coming back. Moved back to the USB 2.0 slot and no issues whatsoever. Funny how USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible, but yet my phone doesn't work on it.

Its something to do with JB. I tried to uninstall, reinstall drivers/HTC Sync, different USB port (all 2.0 on my PC), all the usual stuff. None of that worked. The only thing that got it to work was reverting to an ICS nandroid. After that, adb recognized immediately. Did the s-off and went back to the JB nandroid. Again, adb doesn't work (although fastboot does).

[Q] PC doesn't recognize phone

Running Android Revolution 5.2.3.
Problem:
I connect my inspire 4G to my PC via USB, and the computer (windows 7) doesn't recognize it. Nothing in the device manager. The phone's LED does light up upon connection to the PC, and it does charge. PC stopped recognizing the phone within the past 48 hours.
What I have done to the phone recently:
I did a vision_wipe_efs on the phone using the "safe" method to attempt to fix the GPS problems I was having. Note that I have used this method many times before with no ill effects. The phone might have already had the problem prior to wiping GPS data.
Solutions tried:
Tried two different micro USB cables.
Tried two different computers.
Installed the latest CM7 nightly (147), problem still persists.
Any ideas?
i also tried booting the phone into recovery and mounting usb storage. didn't work.
just installed the stock ATT RUU by extracting the zip from the exe, renaming it PD98IMG, and booting the phone into bootloader. Still doesnt work.
On your computer,download the drivers from the stickies then connect

drivers are already installed--but you dont need the drivers to access the mass storage mode of the phone. you only need them for HTC sync and USB tethering

whoops. fair enough
common problem for the inspire.
try these 2 things
1. Pull the SD card out of the phone and then reinsert it. Its what got my buddies phone connecting to his comp again.
2. If 1 doesnt work, if you have java installed, uninstall it and then reboot your comp and get rid of Sync off your computer if you have it(leaving the drivers of course). Reboot one more time and then connect your device. it's what worked for me.
edit: i know 2 seems kinda weird (at least imo), but if i install java on my computer(which ive done after to test if my theory was right), my phone wont connect to my computer anymore. so, i go java-less.
May be a dumb question, but what option do you have selected under Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type ? If it's set to a default of Charge Only, and you told it not to ask you again, that could be the root of the problem.
You seem to know what you're doing and you seem to be screwed. Try uninstall sync and all HTC drivers then uninstall anything that says Java like the Guy said above. Then reinstall jre and plug your phone in and let windows install thd drivers. You also might want to run diagnostics and try a different port. The SD card has nothing to do with it because it wont charge.
Your last resort should be unrooting it and reverting to stock ROM, kernel, radio and RIL. Make sure there is no trace of a root. Then you should do a warrenty claim because your inspire seems defective.

Uninstalled sync, java, all htc drivers and still nothing. Looks like i'll be going back to stock and S-ON, and returning it to HTC!
I just bought an Atrix since I kind of knew I would have to warranty the inspire. The screen is a lot brighter, the battery life isn't going to suck balls (1830mah vs 1250mah on the inspire!), the quality of the speaker is miles better than the inspire, and GPS got a lock in downtown within a few seconds (where my inspire 4g would never see more than 2 or 3 satellites!).
I'll just get a refurb inspire sell it, and keep the Atrix.
Thanks for the help guys.

How can you unroot it with pc not recognizing?
Thanks
by flashing the stock RUU. When you start the RUU tool just search your comp for a file called rom.zip. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, and start your inspire in bootloader mode. It will install from there.
Also, does anyone know how to restore S-ON without going through my PC?
You can type this in terminal emulator
cd /data/local
./gfree -s on
sync
This is from mudknot sticky.

Adb help needed.

I have a pc setup for andriod. I have used this pc several times with no problems.
4 or 5 days ago I flashed the latest twrp recovery all went well.
Yesterday I tried to dump my apks, nothing I tried worked. Adb devices showed nothing. I googled till I wore the paint from the keys and still nothing. Ive searched the threads and nothing seems to help. I have xp, win7, win8, laptops, desktops....nothing sees the phone.
Any ideas? I assume its a ms update or net framework issue but honestly Im frustrated to the point I want to smash something, hard to think clearly when Im so agitated.
Everything worked just fine the only changes are latest twrp and testing a new rom but I cant see the rom being the problem, pc wise just some ms updates for security and virus definitions.

adb works if phone is booted up, did a adb devices and it showed
adb will not work in fastboot mode and it used to. I rolled back Windows prior to updates, 4 days back to when I flashed twrp and it did not help.
I have a spare hdd debating on a fresh OS install with minimum crap installed,
Maybe I should take this as a sign and not make a add on

Does it show adb devices while in fastboot? Also, check your device manager while your phone is in fastboot and make sure you don't have any unknown devices.

Fastboot Not Recognized

Ok guys, sorry to start another thread on this but I have been going through thread after thread and searching endlessly for a solution and nothing has worked for me.
I was getting ready to do the S-Off procedures and my device is recognized by computer to transfer files, and adb recognizes the device as well, I was able to get the device ID. Reboot into bootloader and fastboot just hangs there and no fastboot usb. try to enter fastboot command and it just hangs at "waiting for device"
I started going crazy and uninstalled drivers. Installed HTC Sync, (never needed it before). Now when I plug in USB while in Fastboot computer recognizes device but says it is not working properly.
Under device manager > Android USB Devices > (Yellow triangle) My HTC > Device Status ( This device cannot start Code 10), (A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed). Driver version 2.0.7.14. I try to update the driver manually and it says "It appears the right driver is already installed." Tried disabling enabling. Unistalling, plugging back in. Nothing seems to work.

try using this application if you think your device drivers are dirty but installed correctly for usb devices
USBDeview just uninstall whatever devices you want reinitialized especially since they can change even with rom changes so it is good to clear some old ones out by sorting them based on Last Plug/Unplug Date.
I had to use a different Micro-USB cable to get it work. Try that.

If your on Windows 8 problems will occur but there are methods you need to look into. Windows 7 is your ally.
First Uninstalled the drivers for the device using the program in the previous post. Second, make sure your cable is working correctly. Third, make sure you have the correct drivers for you phone on the computer - - HTC Sync causes problems sometimes. Fourth, plug in the phone in while it's on and let the drivers install correctly. Fifth, place the phone in fastboot and let drivers install. Should work.
Remember sometimes you need to restart your computer and try different USB ports. Some users have said 3.0 ports cause problems.
Good luck.

I've tried a couple of various "naked" adb drivers, also the "Universal" adb driver from Koush ( http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/08/koush-releases-universal-adb-driver-for-windows/ ). No dice. Whenever I plug in the phone, my computer happily recognizes it as an MTP device and nothing else. Nothing comes up when I type "adb devices". I have tried rebooting etc. I even gave up and finally installed HTC Sync (bleh). Still nothing.

Hopefully you have usb debugging enabled? You didn't mention if you did.
Also, HTC Sync would only make things worse as it interferes with the HTC driver while it's running.
I remember vaguely that there was a specific driver for windows 8? I could be wrong. I'll search for it for you when I get a moment.

Uninstall all of your ish drivers from the device manager menu. Don't worry they will reinstall then plug your phone on and it will install the drivers for your phone. That's how I fixed it .

Thanks for all the replies. After a long, unreproduceable (because I have the short-term memory of a goldfish) series of installations/un-installations/reboots/cursing it magically started working. Go figure.

usbdeview uninstall all the old htc devices from older drivers or rom changes then plug phone back in it will reconfig the drivers properly or atleast it should if you have the correct drivers installed

Adb tools keeps showing error device not found ?

I keep getting error device not found with adb tools on two different verizon m8's ?
I was using adb tools 1.0.31 and never had any problem until tonight and my one m8 I had obtained s-off on it a bit over a week ago with no problem at all. I tried to firewater s-off another m8 that belongs to a friend and his keeps getting error device not found and mine does the same thing. My computer has froze up 2 times in the last 2 days I"am on windows 7 I used system restore and went back 5 days no difference.
I even tried another version of adb tools, then I tried my other computer which it never freezes up and same deal on it with multiple versions of adb tools. I have updated all drivers and done all that rebooted over and over I have even removed java on both computers and installed new versions. Really pulling my hair out on this. Even tried multiple usb ports on both computers.
I have also constantly been checking device manager and there are no conflicts on anything and all drivers keep showing that they are the newest driver.
I could see if it was doing it on just the one m8, but on mine also which it was working fine on it just days ago.
Anyone have any ideas ?
You did remember to enable USB debugging, did you? [emoji6]

Yes I even tried unchecking it then powering off restarting and rechecking it, actually did that all a couple times to rule it out.
Do you see the Android ADB interface in device manager, or are there any yellow exclamation marks there?
For ADB to work you need:
- ADB access on in Developer Settings (USB Debugging)
- The ADB application
- Drivers for your Windows PC for the ADB device to be recognized
You've stated you've done point 1, I don't doubt you have point 2, you need to work on point 3.
Note: The last possibility is you have some external program blocking your access. I've seen some draconian firewalls block USB.

If your talking about my htc it showed working fine and I tried to update the driver and it showed I have the newest driver available. I went through everything on device manager and everything was working fine, and no exclamation marks. Like I said it was working fine as I used it to firewater s-off an at&t m8 2 weeks ago and it worked fine for it. And I did the firewater on 2 other htc phones in the last 2 months. Also I have used the same adb tools for like the last year with no problems. Also I have not changed any programs, and I have used the same antivirus and firewall for the last 2 years so it should not be blocking it.
This is all why it has me stumped ?
It's not as bad as all that.
The next thing I'd do would be to uninstall and reinstall whatever method gave you the drivers. If you installed the HTC Sync software, uninstall and reinstall. If you used some other method, such as the Minimal ADB and Fastboot package, I'd uninstall and reinstall it.
I have to deal with drivers all the time at work. This sort of thing can happen. Windows makes this process more complicated than it is in Linux.

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Yes tried multiple cables and multiple usb ports. With android system running they pick up the phone as a storage device also. It makes no sense. Going to try unistalling drivers and reinstalling as the other guy suggested.

I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and see if that fixes the problem, thanks.
Figured it out. I was trying to run firewater from bootloader lol, and not with android running. Ok I guess I really messed that up lol.
