[Q] CAT s50 (4.4.2) -> ADB: device not found - General Questions and Answers

Hello xda users!
I have bought a CAT s50 device and I am very used to feature that phone vibrates once when someone answers my call. Since it runs andorid 4.4.2 it does not support this feature by default. So I found app Vibrate Call (on Play store) (if someone knows better way around without rooting it would be cool)
So there is a main problem - when I try to access my phone via "adb devices" command it is not shown there (I enabled USB debugging and device can be seen in explorer). So I cannot run the shell to enable app. I tried it as well on Linux where no drivers are needed
Any solutions? Anyone faced the same problem?

Try to unmount the storage / deactivate MTP when you are going to use ADB. Have you checked the devicer manager if your phone is listed?

Still no success. Looks like there is missing ANDROID (not USB) driver for s50 (under device manager). But it is strange that it did not work on Linux, but I am not sure that I tried PTP mode insted of MTP as you said.

Try to disable the storage mount at all. Just adb connection.

There is no right-click option to unmount it -> is there any other way to do it?

There is the problem - I cannot uncheck, just switch between those 2. Any other ideas?

[SOLVED] ADB on lastest CM9/CM10

After I flash the latest CM9 or CM10 builds, ADB no longer finds my phone.
I've checked my drivers and re-installed them numerous times and that doesn't help.
In CM9 I can mount my phone just fine, and I can explore the files with ease.
I have tried other Sense based ROMs and ADB will find my phone just fine. (The last one I tried was CleanROM4.5 and ADB found it right away)
I've tried the CM9 alpha4 build and ADB works perfectly.
ADB even works in recovery work.
I'm wondering who has it working and who doesn't.
Also, if you have it working, could I pick apart your brain to see what I'm doing differently?
Just try typing 'adb devices' and see if your phone shows up.
Finally solved this issue.
Here's how I did it in Windows 7 Profession 64bit. FYI, I have HTC Sync installed.
Plug your phone in to your pc.
Open up device manager (Right click computer -> Manage -> Device Manager)
Find your phone in the list.
Mine was initially under 'Other Devices' labeled as 'One'
Right click -> Update Driver Software...
Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Make sure to uncheck 'Show compatible hardware'
Select 'Android Phone' then 'Next'
Select 'Google, Inc' on the left pane and 'Android ADB Interface' on the right pane. Hit Next
Hit 'OK' if there was a warning.
To test if ADB is working, launch a CMD prompt and type 'adb devices'
You should now see you phone in the list!!
p.s. mounting your sdcard should also work.

I'm in the same boat with ya. I've been trying to figure this out on my phone but have come across no solution. Nobody seems to like using adb here but I find it quite useful.. anyway I found that just using adb over WiFi is sufficing for now. Hope it gets fixed tho.

That's good to know it works over WiFi. I haven't tried that myself, mainly because I don't know how.
Is it easy to set up WiFi ADB?
I need it for App development so it would be nice to get some form of it working
(At least I'm not the only one having issues)

Yup really easy. Just select the option right under enabling adb in the settings app that enables adb over WiFi. Then in the cmd prompt type "adb connect x.x.x.x:5555" where x.x.x.x is the ip address it gives you in the settings. Then you should be connected. To double check just check adb devices and it should show up.

Mine comes up as HTC MTP Device and when I go into device manager and try to manually install it still fails. It doesn't come up as "One" and it won't let me choose "Google, Inc." As soon as I plug the device into the computer it starts to install the drivers and that's when it switches from "One" to "HTC MTP Device". Is there a way to make it so Windows 7 doesn't automatically try to install drivers for a device when you plug it in?

Hmm I have not heard of that issue before. That is interesting indeed. Did it used to work before on stock/other ROMs?
Well, I TRIED to follow the directions above, but I don't have the "Show compatible hardware" check box, and googling for the problem only turns up solutions to other devices that require the unchecking of that box...none, where the box IS the problem...

Unfortunately, no. I've resorted to using the terminal emulator on the phone when I REALLY need the console, and I can still mount the USB storage just fine, so it's not ideal, but I've been making do.

ADB Offline and no access to bootloader

A few days ago I've tried using ADB but it said my device is offline. Earlier I tried ADB over network. Again, it said my phone is offline. So I wanted to see if I can get ADB access from the bootloader. Surprize: I can't get into the bootloader. If I turn my phone off and press Volume Down + Power, it just boots.
Now, my phone is working good, I just wanted adb access to do that darn EFS backup. And what's up with that "can't get into bootloader" stuff? I did it fine and dandy when I rooted my phone..
EDIT: well, since I can not do the backup the normal way, I just downloaded the efs folder as a zip. and dev/block/. Is it as effective as the normal way?

It is Vol-Up + Power for bootloader. And you can't have adb access in bootloader mode. Only fastboot access.
Ok but why isn't adb working? Why does it always say it's offline?

It could be that you installed some software/driver that overrides a working USB driver.
Try install Google USB driver from Android SDK Tools.
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Also, make sure you turn on Developer options and "check" Andoid (USB) debugging option in Developer options setup.

Do you have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB interface showing in your device manager?
Try uninstall and reload again.
Almost = https://dl.dropbox.com/1/view/xiulpm329s4wxcd/Apps/CloudShot/shot_25022013_192328.png
Still it says offline.
(thank you for trying to help me )
In fastboot mode it looks like this:
just tested at work and it says "device" instead of "offline" which is good I think. The only difference is that at work I installed the SDK long after I got it at home and it has a slightly different folder structure and it also comes with eclipse.
Resolved. Downloaded the new SDK with ADT from the android site and it works. Please forgive me for posting so many times. Can someone please delete this thread?

[Q] Fail to see my Nexus 5 on Win7

Hi Guys,
I had a rooted 4.4.2 device, when I got the the 4.4.3 upgrade and I think that from then I cannot see my device on my laptop.
(I am not sure of that because I CAN see it on my work desktop...)
Anyway, whatever I do - I get the following results:
1. Device manager shows me under the "Portable Devices" the brance F:\
2. When I try to install new ADB drivers, it tells me that "WPD fileSystem volume driver" is the best for me...
Storage usb connection setting is set to be MTP.
Meanwhile, I cannot see my nexus 5 files on my laptop
Please assist, Thanks!!!

Delete the device in device manager and then let it find it again.

If you mean to uninstall it, then I did it couple of times, and now again when the device was disconnected. Then I reconnected the device to the USB port, and scanned the deice manager for changes.
I got the same result - see attachement.
Delete then reboot both devices. Connect phone again. If same, delete device and reboot phone whilst still connected
If that fails, delete and use "universal naked driver"

Never seen that before. Your drivers obviously aren't set up right. Google 15 second adb drivers xda and use that to install the drivers. It'll also set up adb/fastboot which you may or may not need. It gives you the option

Are you trying to use ADB mode? If so, and it's not recognizing the device, try using ADB Driver Installer. It worked for me.

It's supposed to work fine even with it on, at least it did when I had it on. Tested on Win 7, 8, 8.1 and 8.1U1 lol. I never had any issues with USB ever.
Or use Linux, it'll work right away..
It's not set to Camera (PTP) instead of Media Device (MTP) ?

Guys.
Thank you all for your kind help.
I tried at least most of your advises - but there were no joy...
I think that the best I should do now is somehow clean up my system from old drivers and related installations.
So, taking aside the option of reinstalling windows, can you share with me some procedures that will enable me to get rid of all old drivers and files and to reach a state of a clean system, so I can then start reinstalling the drivers again?
Thanks a lot!
Well... here is the solution!!!!

Internal Storage isn't being recognized on Windows (Marshmallow)

After upgrading to marshmallow, the internal storage is no longer accessible from my computer. It only works when on twrp recovery mode. Already turned off USB debugging, changed MTP and back, reinstalled the latest ADB drivers, removed the ADB drivers completely and no cigar. Anyone else going through this?
I think you have to pull down the notification shade and search MTP. I can't remember what I did (you only have to do this once) but you can go to Settings, Developer options, Select USB Configuration (under Networking), and select MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to enable this.
For 6.0 and up the internal storage, like lollipop was not allowede to be accessed on your computer even with mtp or media transfer protocol selected on your dev options. What i highly suggest for you is to tryother methods such as use stickmpunt from chainfire or try an app like airdroid to transfer files from your phone to the comp or vice versa

You pull down the notification shade and tap the USB icon, switch the MTP. I have to do this every time, regardless of the option set in developer settings.
With the mtp checked will you be able to transfer files on 6.0? I failed for it on my computer here though

Bugjaeger Mobile ADB App Running Directly on Android Phone - What Features?

I'm working on an ADB port which allows ADB(client/server) to run directly on Android device.
The app allows you to connect your phone to another Android device via USB OTG and perform some tasks that you normally perform from your PC(that has ADB installed).
For example
- take screenshots
- check logs
- install/remove packages
- check running processes
- push/pull files (also from locations that are not available to regular apps)
- run shell scripts executed as privileged ADB user
- create ADB backups and inspect backup files
- copy apps/APKs between phones
It's still work in progress(even though it's published), and I'm not even sure what features of ADB I should make available through the UI.
I was hoping to get some feedback here.
What are the main issues with UI? (because adb has so many features, I found it extremely hard to pack it into UI that would be intuitive)
What features would you expect from this kind of app?
Should I also embed fastboot, so that users would be able to flash Android from phone to phone?
Is it even worth to work on another one of these apps? (Maybe most people just prefer to always use ADB features directly from PC)

Not sure if I understand what you mean with "local terminal". .. Do you mean a shell spawned from regular app running on your phone?
The point of the app is to perform some privileged tasks that cannot be performed by regular apps on non-rooted phone.
You should be able to perform these tasks without the need to install ADB on your PC, or even without having a pc currently at your hands(e.g., if you're on-the-go).
Additionally, you should be able to perform a lot of these tasks with a couple of taps (instead of typing shell commands).
Is it possible to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1), and issue adb commands to the device running this app?

It's actually doing the opposite.
You issue commands from app to the connected device. The app is running the adb components you are running on your pc.
You connect one device that runs the app to another device that you want to debug. You can connect the devices via Wi-Fi or USB OTG.

I get that is the purpose, I was just curious if it was possible to point at the same device. It would make ADB stuff much simpler when no other devices are available.

If you made adbd listen on specific port before(adb tcpip 5555), then yes, you can issue adb commands from the app to the same device running the app.

No, I don't think you need root. I used it a lot on my non-rooted Nexus 5x and once on an old Asus Zenfone during testing and it was working as expected.
That's great . I was just wondering if there was something like this already out there. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you are prosperous.

Maybe the best way to put this is to tell you want i want to do.
I have a rooted note 5 and my wife has a new non rooted S9 from T mobile. The bloatware sucks as i am sure you can imagine. I have read how to remove the bloat with package disabler without root. My issues is i need to make PIP a sister app for package disabler a device owner app. This is done through adb and a few simple commands. My problem to solve my issue is i have no PC in order to use ADB on. I have looked for way to use phone to phone ADB with OTG but never been able to put ADB on my note 5 to use the terminal like from a PC.
Any help would be great thanks.

So you tried to connect your phone (with Bugjaeger installed) to you wife's phone via USB OTG cable? And the phone with Bugjaeger app doesn't detect any ADB device connection (or other dialogs pop up)? Did I understand this correctly?
You might need to temporarily disable the other protocols that Android offers via USB so that there are no other dialogs popping up (on your wife's phone). On my Nexus with Android 8, I can go to Connected devices -> USB and switch it to only "Charge this device" (so PTP or the other stuff is disabled).
In case there is some other app doing stuff with ADB USB devices, you might also need to change your defaults so that Bugjaeger can handle ADB USB devices.
Then you also need to make sure that Developer options are enabled on your wife's phone (and USB debugging of course).
Once you successfully connected and authorized the phone, you should do the following
- In Bugjaeger app switch to Packages tab and click on Add button top right (the button with the plus sign). Then you should pick the package disabler APK. This should install the package to your wife's phone
- Switch back to Commands tab (first tab) and either click on plus button in top right or shell into the device with the floating action button ("<>").
You can then activate the device owner with something like this
Code:
dpm set-device-owner disabler.package.name/.DisablerAdminReceiver
*Note that I don't prefix the command with "adb shell" here
When activating device owner you also need to make sure that there are no other accounts configured on your wifes phone (e.g. google account) because otherwise it probably won't work.
You can also check my blog post where I describe how to activate device owner with Bugjaeger in more detail (at the end of the blog post)

Hope that helps
going to give this a try thanks will post later with results,
Hi, I have a problem and I hope your app can help me.
I am without a PC and I have a tablet without root where I installed the application and a Samsung mobile phone that starts only in download mode, otherwise it gives me the message: Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock
Can I install a rom or a custom recovery with the app? I tried to connect them with the cable but it does not find the device.

I'm working on an ADB port which allows ADB(client/server) to run directly on Android device.
The app allows you to connect your phone to another Android device via USB OTG and perform some tasks that you normally perform from your PC(that has ADB installed).
For example
- take screenshots
- check logs
- install/remove packages
- check running processes
- push/pull files (also from locations that are not available to regular apps)
- run shell scripts executed as privileged ADB user
- create ADB backups and inspect backup files
- copy apps/APKs between phones
It's still work in progress(even though it's published), and I'm not even sure what features of ADB I should make available through the UI.
I was hoping to get some feedback here.
What are the main issues with UI? (because adb has so many features, I found it extremely hard to pack it into UI that would be intuitive)
What features would you expect from this kind of app?
Should I also embed fastboot, so that users would be able to flash Android from phone to phone?
Is it even worth to work on another one of these apps? (Maybe most people just prefer to always use ADB features directly from PC)
Bugjaeger Mobile ADB - Develop & Debug via USB OTG
Google play link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.sisik.hackendebug
Update
I also ported Fastboot - for now the user can dump bootloader info
Thanks

I don't have any wear os watch at my hands right now and I can't test it at the moment. Is the APK compatible with the watch? If you're able to establish an adb connection between Bugjaeger and the watch, try to check the "Packages" tab in Bugjaeger app. There's a "+" button in the top toolbar, which allows you to select apk for installing on the target device.
The official docs are showing how to establish ADB connection with the watch - https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/debugging
In Bugjaeger you then need to tap the connect button (plug with a plus sign in top toolbar), type in the IP address of the device, and tap on connect button. Both devices should be connected to the same WiFi network to make this work.
i figured it out!!!! go to packages, press the plus button, install from apps installed on phone. it was soooo easy. i couldnt get adb to work on my pc!! i am so thankful to you for this app!!!!!
