Has anyone been able to run 'adb shell' on a Mac and have it successfully connect to the Epic 4G? When I use adb on my MBP running Snow Leopard to connect to my EVO 4G, everything is fine. However adb will NOT detect my Epic 4G. USB debugging is checked on both devices. Also when I build projects in Eclipse I can send them to the EVO but the Epic is not detected. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I can run it on my Mac no problems. :S Thats weird. I even made a system dump on the Mac.
I have the same issue. The Epic is very finnicky with connections on OS X. If I do get into ADB Shell its only for a few seconds before it kicks me out and then I have to restart the adb server in order to get a few extra seconds of connectivity.

I have no problems. I flashed mine with root the first day it was released when I got home. But I also might have a different version that you. I'm using one that came from the evo section when it talks about part one root and part two nand. There's a win32, linux, and mac zip of adb ad it's needed files. I've never installed eclipse.
Could be flaky usb cable. Or try another usb port. Try reboot phone and computer. Sometimes it gets stubborn and a reboot might help.
Thanks for the suggestions, turns out I had to switch cables ~AND~ USB ports on my 2010 15 inch MBP - I'm good to go! ^_^

it likely will error out for you again in the future, but if its doesnt then thats awesome. I had the same issues with getting it to connect to my mac in any form, it connected for a second or two then disappeared (same with mounting it as a usb drive).
Google "galaxy s mac osx" and you will see you aren't alone.
This is just my opinion and it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Imo, the supplied cable is only good for emergencies or charging (and sometimes it doesn't even do that very well). The only other one I've used was the super expensive one you can buy at a corporate sprint store. Usb to micro usb. Yes it's way over priced, yes you could probably get something just as good or cheaper online, but I'm the kind of person that I want it yesterday. I don't know how good it is but it was a fraction of sprint's was a cable from ultra I saw at compusa. I think it was in the gps/phone/blue tooth headset section. I think it was a three footer for like 10 bucks or less.

Theres a 3,6,12, and one foot cable for those links in that order. I'm doing this from the phone with swype and the hardware keyboard. This can be a real pita sometimes doing this.
Yea, I use the cable from my Nexus One to mount the phone, the one out the box work.

As the OP I should have mentioned - the cable I ended up using was a BlackBerry USB cable - I think that is irony.
The issue might be power, I was having the same issue on my MBA and found using a powered USB hub worked fine, even with the stock cable.

I can confirm the power issue. The only solution for me was a powered USB hub. My 2010 15 inch core-i7 MBP immediately recognized my Epic and I am able to connect using adb. I can finally stop borrowing my wife's Windows machine to mess with my phone lol.
Powered USB links Epic+newMacs.Epic works fine on older gen. But I want a fix update!
Got one problem with the Epic 4G. The phone doesn't connect to the current generation Macs (every other try, it connects for about 5 seconds and then drops out)... and that;s for all new Macs - iMacs, MacBook, MacBookPro, but it does connect to the previous generation Macs. Just walked out of the Apple store and tested it. Bummer, can't tether, can't access memory card unless I open the phone, remove the card, and with an adapter, plug it directly to the computer.... on older Macs, you just plug it in and everything connects perfectly... not on the current Macs! At the Apple store, all they could suggest was waiting for an update from either side -- Android/Samsung or Apple. For now, no connectivity though. I'll try the powered USB, though that feels like a very temporary fix. I'm on a MacBook Pro, and portable most of the time. BTW, yes, both systems are up to date.... oh, hey, just tested.... Powered USB works... still, where can I get a pocket powered USB??
Going a bit further...
Just to expand on the subject. Using a powered USB allows the link so you can access the microSD card. However, I still can't get PDANet to connect for tethering on the current Mac generation. (Again, it works fine on previous generation Macs). Does my cell phone want more power?!
Perhaps it needs more cowbell?
Seriously though, mine needed more power too. I couldn't wait so i bootcamp into windows and use windows.
That's good news
That's good news: If booting into windows will get it to work, that means that the hardware is capable of putting out the power needed. So, it's just a soft/driver issue... not a lost case then. Just hopefully someone in either the Apple side (more likely) or the Android side will care enough to push for a fix.
Hello suddenly my nexus s stopped connecting with data with the pc it only charges, tried with 3 diffrent computers with diffrent os , no menu popping on nexus and nothing connected on the computer(like i didnt connect anything), i removed the battery left it for some time installed stock rom still nothing.It was acting normally for a second and the other it stopped any help appreciated!
Are you sure you're using the cable that came with the phone? I have an LG Wink featurephone here that uses the same connector at the phone end -- its cable will charge my Nexus S (using the computer, obviously, but also when used with either the LG or Samsung charger) but no USB connection happens when I use it. Only the cable that came with my Nexus S provides a USB connection when I connect to the computer. I guess there are pinout differences between the two cables.
If you're sure you're using the right cable, I would guess that it's gone bad if it doesn't work on any computer. You can buy an (overpriced) replacement from Samsung or maybe a cheaper one on eBay or at a retail store. If the latter, be sure the seller lists it as compatible with the Nexus S.
it happened with the original cable ppfff i dont know...
same problem

Hi
I have the same problem
I have no idea what the problem could be.
We are not alone with this problem: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13553
Now installed stock rom as well but still the same problem.
If i starting the NS in the bootloader mode the phone is not recognized by the computer.
It would be great, if someone knows a solution!

I've been trying to get help with this for weeks. No one is even responding to my posts. I thought it was something OBSURDLY simple, such that people didn't even want to waste their time responding to me.
Seeing same problem, No connetion via USB
Posted problem in General,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104245
Tried different cords, different computers and operating systems,, did cold start several times on phone (removed battery) still no luck, I am running totally stock
Curious do any of you have the Google Music Beta?? (maybe a over zealous rights thing?)
just tried it with a Win 7 machine that had never seen it before and it said it could not recognize the device,, me thinks that the MS device driver DB is messed up buy some recent Win update??
i sent it to samsung to change my usb slot because after connecting to pc and nothing happen when i went to charge the phone it took 5 hours to get to 30% so iam almost sure that mini usb slot malfunctions

My phone charges just fine. And my USB connectivity was fine until I manually installed 2.3.4.
~I had usb connection problems after upgrade to 2.3.4 a bit different but I managed to get the USB back by formatting the SD card.

I was on 2.3.3 when this happened, i tried to flash 2.3.4 then and again it didnt work but the strange thing is that when i was moving the mini usb the first times up and down it was shown for a moment as a broken usb device.Then this stopped and was not shown at all on the computer and finally the phone charged super slow when connected to electricity
Beginning to believe that it is a physical prob with USB connector on phone. It seems to start/stop charging when wiggling usb on phone but no mounting. Doe anyone know best way to resolve , T-mobile but bought from Best Buy? so to Best Buy? FOR SUPPORT /EXCHANGE? suggestions?
I've seen loose connections before. My suggestion ain't the cheapest but the plug, on the cable end, shouldn't wiggle. I went to a corporate sprint store, the ones that actually have working display phones, and got their usb to micro usb data cable. The thing with that cable is when you plug it in the phone side, it goes into the jack firmly. You can almost feel the little locking tabs click into place. There should be no play or wiggle with that cable as long as there's no damage or abuse with the jack on the phone. IMO, that's a good data cable. It's never given me problems before.
Also, sometimes the cable is only wired for charging. A true data cable will be wired correctly and be able to both charge and transfer data. Usually the cables that come with the phone are crap quality. I don't know if my suggestion will help but it won't hurt to have a good cable for data transfer and flashing. The last thing you want is a flaky connection from a cheap cable when you're flashing roms. Russian roulette with bricking a phone in a worse case situation.
Did you try reboot the computer and the phone? How about a different usb port? How about unplug any other usb device in case it's conflicting for some unknown reason? It sounds like so many people with windows 7 are having problems. Usually always happens with a new os that's released. Xp, for flashing devices and programming different hardware devices, has never given of a problem. I have a small partition with xp on it just for that purpose only.
off to Samsung for repair for me...
After time on phone with them and a factory reset belief is that the usb connector is defective. BTW Best Buy just hands off to Samsung 1-800 #
So Back to a barely functional G-1 for a while, glad I could find it!
So is Samsung or the carriers replacing or fixing units?
My USB data died shortly after 2.3.4 ota update.
Wifi FTP is fine for data transfer but I want USB debug to work...
Shame on google and Samsung, this bug has been around for months.
no shame on anyone...
I went through a factory reset with Samsung on phone that isolated the problem to what is apparently a loose usb connector, nothing to do with software... only hassle is sending it in for repair, as` mentioned problem needs to be dealt with Samsung customer service (not carrier or Best Buy), they were fine on phone...
So this issue started a few days ago. Any time I plugged my phone in it would constantly connect and disconnect from the pc. I've tried multiple usb cables, ports, and the 3 PCs I have with the same result on each. Now when I plug it in, it is no longer being recognized by the PC, Odin, ADB, etc... It will charge but that is it.
I have a warranty replacement coming to me however I need to be able to get this one back to stock... Any suggestions?
Before anyone asks, NO it has never been wet, dropped, damaged in any way, set on fire, caught in a land slide, earthquake, what have you.. The phone itself functions perfectly fine. All drivers are up to date, none of my PCs configurations have changed. I have one I use specifically for app development and not even that one will see the phone.
I had the same problem. I used a different cable and it all worked better....now with that said it happened again so I flashed my phone back to stock and all was well.
Then went to flashing ROMS.

Really check out the micro usb cable. A bad cable will just about always allow a device to charge, but data transfer is another story. If you really have tried a few micro USB cables, then it the problem relies elsewhere. Try restarting both phone and PC, and if neither works, sounds like you have a busted port on the Skyrocket.
Thank you both for your responses. I am a PC technician so I followed my usual troubleshooting steps to figure this out. I narrowed it down to either all of my cables are bad (not a chance) or the phone is just f**ked (likely). Ah well ill have to try to use another way to force the stock firmware and recovery on here. Lol
HTC = Hate The Consumer
I use my old Nokia OEM USB cable. Connects with the right number of pins on the USB connection end. I'd check your USB cables for # of pins . Skyrocket uses 5 I believe. Also that there is sufficient power to your USB ports. Aka avoid front USB ports which could only be 4 pin....

When you plug the usb cable in, do you see the usb icon at the top left of your screen? I have to pull that window down to tell it to connect to pc, then confirm it again before mine connects. Mine doesn't auto connect on its own.
I see you've been a member for a few years so if its not connecting, that really sucks man. Hope you get it figured out.

Not running the AOKP ROM are you? The R3 build had an issue with this, and all AOKP will disable USB to PC if you enable 'fast charge' under ROM Control...
Good luck :S
According to what I've been reading you can try using the *#7284# code and setting the USB portion from PDA to MODEM and then back to PDA and it would kickstart the connection. No dice for me though. Ive been through 7 different USB cables already.. I am not about to go and buy one just to keep playing with it my other phones connect just fine using the same cables. No, I am running the latest Sky ICS
Hi there,
My father's computer just won't recognize any Samsung devices (GS2 HD LTE or the Note 2). Obviously it works on mine. Of course the proper drivers are installed, cable works just fine on my PC, and the USB port works with just any other devices (USB key, or ie Nikon camera).
I went on almost every website for a solution to my problem, but I just can't seem to find a proper answer to my problem.
Also, when both phones are connected, even if I drag the status bar, there just nothing happening. It's not even charging, and there's no difference if "debugging mode" is either "on" or "off". The GS2 Hd LTE is a stock phone, and the Note 2 is rooted, FYI.
The computer itself is an HP win7 64bit Home Premium.
Any one has a clue?!
Thanks!
are you using the cable that came with the phone? its a long shot but i've heard of people having problems with third party cables
Yup, I've actually tried original and 3rd parties, no success.
The only thing I can suggest is not to use a USB 3.0 port (and use USB 2.0). This has caused problems for me before with running ADB commands, so maybe with certain devices it can cause further issues?
try unrooting your phone, clear your data, reinstall samsung drivers and try again... hope this works!
if not then, then show your to any samsung centre and try to fix the prob...

This happened to me when I was using my phone and Kindle on the same USB port.
Switched ports to one that had not been used and it worked.
The problem aren't the phones, it's the PC. Either 2 or 3.0 ports won't do anything... It's really really weird, and annoying. Probably more annoying than weird actually. Lol
Drivers
Reinstall your phone's drivers on your computer.
I did that already, I've even selected the drivers set from another website just in case those from Samsung were broken.
I have a SCH-I915 (Verizon) which is not recognized by any machine that it gets plugged into. There's no unknown device, no beep of a usb connection, it does beep like a charger has been connected (and gets the red x on the battery icon, indicating the amperage is insufficient), but the PC doesn't recognize there's an interactive device on the other end. I have spent 3 days combing the forums. I can assure everyone, it is NOT a driver issue. For one thing, the same laptop that flashed the wrong firmware and unlocked the bootloader is among those who can't see it. It also isn't visible to the best buy samsung rep or he'd have flashed it for me. I've also used anycut to manually select mass storage or samsung kies. Neither work. After reading many, many MANY posts on devices not being recognized, it seemed to me the ultimate fix for most of the people with these symptoms was a new cable. I just bought a cable and it's the same. The original does me no good, neither does the new one (which is an insignia from best buy). The maddening thng is, it was working FINE (apart from being unusable...but it was able to be connected to any way you like) just a few days ago. It was the factory reset from within the 4.1.2 OS that seems to have changed something. My idea (which may be entirely off base, since I don't actually know the USB protocols is, the tablet gets plugged in and either is supposed to say "I'm here" or the PC asks "who are you?" After that would be steps on establishing what device it is, etc... I think this initial handshake is what's broken. The PC thinks it's got a usb fan or whatever, the tablet thinks it's connected to a crappy charger.
So I've got a couple questions
1) Do they make charging cables which are distinct from the data transfer cables?
2) Has anyone used one of these insignia cables? Was it fine for you?
3) Is there any other nuclear option I can deploy myself? I don't have much faith in those best buy guys. (On a side note, I was allowed to use the guy's laptop to try and get it to work and if I had had a thumb drive, I'd have all the cool imaging software they have...but it was not to be.)
Does it shows up when connected in recovery or download mode?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
No it doesn't
No matter the computer I'm attaching to, nor whether it's in download, recovery, or fully up, the connection appears to only be seen by one side.
