[Q] adb devices (via USB) shows as offline

New device. Odin works, USB storage works, TCP adb works, charging works. Have the latest drivers, which worked fine on the previous device (new device is a closed box warranty replacement). Device shows up in adb devices as "device", but adb freezes when attempting to push or shell. On super rare occasion, I get a shell prompt, but adb freezes immediately. Oftentimes, it shows up as "offline" instead. Have tested numerous cables, numerous USB ports. Reinstalled drivers, reflashed device in odin, reinstalled adb, redownloaded oneclick. Nothing works. Already went through other threads covering the same topic for numerous other devices. What am I overlooking?

Oneclick does not work anymore, not for Gingerbread. Other than that....try and let Windows find and install the drivers from Windows Update.

Meant the tweaked adb in oneclick. I tried to remove the drivers, and let windows search through update, but still no dice. The phone shows up in device manager, is recognized by odin for download mode, and windows as a storage device. However, adb still won't recognize it other than in an offline state.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have USB debugging on right?

Launch ddms.bat from \android-sdk-windows\tools
See if the DDMS application recognizes the device there. If not, then you need to enable USB-debugging and/or try different USB ports (but you said you did the latter already). I found that I must use USB ports directly attached to the motherboard for doing anything with my phone.

@kenny: Yup, USB debugging is enabled.
@nikon120: There's no tool dir, but there is platform-tools. There's no ddms in it.

Hmm, then I gather you don't have the SDK installed. I was just on SDK revision 10 and the folder was there. I also just uninstalled revision 10 and my older JDK installation to do a fresh install of the latest JDK and Android SDK. The tools folder is in this latest install too.

If odin works, just odin cwm 5.0.2.7, then flash su.zip which roots you.

My apologies. "tools" was marked as hidden, and not showing during "dir" in command prompt. I did locate and launch ddms.bat. It shows the device as online, but unresponsive. If I close it, and kill-server, and relaunch, it shows the device as offline.
xboxfanj, I already have CWM flashed, and the device rooted, via Odin. What I'm trying to do is use shell/push.

That's why I inquired whether or not DDMS was recognizing your phone or not. Your reply was that it showed as offline, and that is a good indication as to why adb isn't working for you.
Outside of the phone not having USB debugging enabled, the only other reason I can think of your cause is device drivers for the phone. You said you've already reinstalled the phone drivers and no difference, so you may want to try on another computer or maybe a virtual machine.

1)Unplug the usb and plug it back again.
2)Go to the Settings -> Applications -> Development of your device and uncheck the USB debugging mode and then check it again back!
3)Restart the adb on your PC. adb kill-server and then adb start-server
4)Restart your device and try again.

AT&T S3 not seen by ADB

Ok... i've gone through the steps in the one thread to get the phone rooted and everything without tripping the flash counter. At least the rooting with ODIN part. Been trying to flash CWM Touch for it, but for the life of me can't get the S3 to enter debugging mode over USB so that it can be seen by ADB to do so. I have Debugging over USB checked in the settings on the phone, i've rebooted the phone several times... it just never seems to enter debugging mode (or at least not like on my old Atrix 4G, where it actually told you in the notification bar that debugging was enabled).

It doesn't say debugging enabled. Do you have Kies installed? If so make sure it isn't running. Plug in the phone and type adb devices. If detected adb will report a serial number.

I had installed Kies... tried hooking it up, still wouldn't list in ADB. uninstalled Kies, but kept the drivers installed. And i only mentioned the idea of it saying Debugging enabled when you connect the USB cable because my Atrix 4G said that every time from the get-go.

Also odd.... looked into the SuperUser app... and the log shows several allowed access attempts from "shell"... yet never seemed that way in ADB.

I had the same problem... try going in to the "services" settings and update the driver to Android ADB composite. Other than that, my suggestion is to make sure Kies finds the drivers for both Camera mode and USB mode by toggling the selection while plugged in to Kies.

Your last resort would be to remove the drivers and reinstall them... Don't install Kies...

Or do you think i might have better luck in Ubuntu? Have that installed on my desktop as well.
edit: well... that's odd. booted into Ubuntu, installed the linux Android SDK and everything, got everything set up. opened the terminal, and just checked the devices without being in the ADB Shell... and a device showed up. launched the adb shell... checked devices again... nothing showed up, as on Windows. Figured what the hell, and did the command to install the recovery, and it worked.

It seems to be a driver issue, kies interfering, or a component is missing, or all of that, so I'd start your windows driver and software over fresh...
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall the drivers
Reboot
Install the drivers
Install the Java JDK (64bit has never worked for me, even though the drivers are 64bit)
Install the Android SDK
Use the Android SDK to get the Platform Tools and the Google USB Driver
than adb devices should show a phone

sometimes ADB Devices returns nothing for me, but theres a phone there, it would say nothing connected or to some effect if it didn't find anything...

Yea... every time i entered "adb devices" in the Windows command prompt, it always said "List of detected devices" or whatever it says, but nothing would be there, and if i tried the command to install the recovery it would say it was not a valid directory or whatever. Didn't show up on Ubuntu either, but it still worked...

EDIT/UPDATE: I was using a USB 3.0 port which apparently ADB didn't like (though ODIN rooting on that USB port worked fine...). I switched to another USB port and suddenly it worked!
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I guess it's better than creating a new one for the same purpose...
Doesn't seem like this was resolved and I haven't been able to get my S3 to connect to ADB. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
I had this driver already installed:
ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0
I enabled USB debugging and it wouldn't connect. I installed Kies, still wouldn't connect. I uninstalled the driver and Kies and rebooted. Reinstalled "ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0", installed the Google USB driver, still won't connect.
I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to see any sort of notification in my bar showing that USB debugging mode has been executed but I'm definitely not getting anything like that.
Code:
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
891b0876 offline
D:\APPS\ANDROID\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

Yea, when i finally was able to use ADB to push a recovery onto my S3, it never actually showed up if i checked the devices in ADB Shell. Well... it DID, but not if i already typed the SU command before "adb devices".

hey guys
i have same problem i wanna adb my galaxy s3 rogers (att) i am trying to do the root no tripping flash counter so i got to the adb shell part

so whats left? i have my phone usb connected to comp and debuging on i type adb shell it says adb is not recognized internal or external command???
do i need to have somthing open on the phone b4 openning command?

You need to navigate to the folder where adb is actually located (platform-tools)

You don't have to use adb, you can use the same commands on terminal emulator

[Q] Cannot Unlock Bootloader on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I cannot get the bootloader unlock working on my Win 8.1 laptop by any means. If I try through hasoon2000's toolkit, I get the error that the ADB server did not ACK (whatever that means). If I try using the command line and HTC's official method of getting the TokenID, I get a message that a certain ADB-related dll is not installed. I have installed the USB drivers that come with hasoon2000's toolkit about 4 times now. I installed the Android SDK and even Samsung USB drivers. I'm going to uninstall everything, can someone walk me through the step-by-step to get things working? I've read that USB 3.0 is the problem, but I only have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop.

Run everything from the downloaded folder.
First of all ensure you have USB DEBUGGING enabled in DEVELOPER OPTIONS in the phone settings.
Open the downloaded folder then right click inside the folder while holding shift then choose 'Open command Windows here'
Plug in the phone using the original HTC usb cable then in the command window type ADB DEVICES. The response should be a device comprised of letters and numbers.
If you don't see any device attached try swapping the cable to another usb port. If you see your device attached then follow the unlock instructions at HTCDEV as its the most reliable way.
If still no device then it could be a usb driver problem. You should here a ding when you plug your phone in.
Make sure the Unlock_code.bin is in the above folder when unlocking.

That version of ADB didn't work for me either. Anyway I was able to get fastboot to work but not ADB so I was able to unlock and root and everything through a strange method using only fastboot.
Second question, if I am switching between AOSP roms, say for example CM to PA, can I dirty flash or do I have to reset?

ADB does not work with USB 3.0 ports yet on Windows 8 or 8.1. You have to use it on a USB 2.0 port. I have had best results with Windows 7. Fastboot, however, works just fine on 8.1 and 8

Not so, I and others have ADB working fine on USB 3.0 ports.
The problem is Windows 8 driver signing enforcement blocking the install of drivers. You need to go to advanced startup options to disable it.
Download these drivers first and extract: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i3lcm7dwl581518/ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81.zip
Follow these instructions to disable driver signing enforcement: http://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/...gnature-enforcement-in-windows-8-and-8.1.html
Once fully booted go into device manager and you should see a device called 'Android 1.0' with an exclamation mark.
Right click 'Android 1.0' then 'update driver software' then 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Click the 'Browse' button and then browse to the driver folder 'ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81' extracted earlier then click next to install the driver.
You will get a warning about unsigned drivers, just ignore and continue.
The drivers should install and you should see a new entry in device manager called 'Android phone' which means the ADB driver is installed.
ADB should now be working.

Thank you so much for this. Have been wondering for a very long time

It sounds like you've got plenty of technical help already, but I will say that I use ADB perfectly fine on my desktop with Win 8.1 so it's possible. I also use hassoon's toolkit occasionally with no issue.
Before I could get the desktop to recognize the M8 I had to completely uninstall all drivers related to my previous galaxy nexus as well as remove any mention of the device in Window's USBdeview. After a reboot, I just plugged in the M8 and windows automatically installed the necessary M8 drivers. I can then run fastboot and adb from the toolkit.

I ended up uninstalling the MSFT USB 3.0 drivers and use the Intel USB 3.0 drivers instead on my Win8.1 laptop that has only USB 3.0 ports. Works great.

Unlock bootloader - "waiting for any device"

I got my OP3 today and am trying to unlock the bootloader. I've tried every tutorial and toolkit out there but they all get stuck at the same point in adb, "waiting for device". The "adb devices" command works fine but anything else gets stuck on "waiting for any device". I've tried googling the issue but none of the suggestions have worked so far. Any input would be great.

did you enable oem unlocking from developer options?

bro you may be running win 10 and to connect fastboot on that u need adb driver which u will find on windows update all u have to do is just connect your phone with data transfer mode and update the window 10 . ull find something name qalllcom its adb drive or i dont but after that it will like charm.

I have all the necessary developer options checked. After futzing with it for hours, I tried a different computer (also Windows 10) and it worked right away. I'm going to see what the driver issue is this evening because I still would like to use the original computer I was using. Thanks for the replies!

Go to fastboot mode and do "fastboot devices", then try unlocking bl.

You can install the driver after disabling the driver enforcement..

I've tried everything including disabling driver enforcement on Win 10 but I still have the same issue. I have the wrong drivers installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but when I plugin the phone, the wrong drivers get installed. I got it to work on another Windows 10 computer and below are device manager screenshots of the working (with right drivers) and not working (with wrong drivers) computers. I have no idea how to get the right drivers installed on the computer where its not working and unfortunately, its the primary computer I use.

Try this:
Connect the op3 to usb port - don't bother changing from "charging"
Right click on "ADB Interface" in dev man and disable it.
Without unplugging the op3 use the buttons to reboot into bootloader.
Hopefully W10 will now detect your op3 and either load the correct "oneplus" driver or create a new entry in dev man of Other Devices > Android Composite ADB Interface. Right click on this and then Update driver software > Browse my computer.... > Let me pick... > and if you're lucky One plus will show up in the manufacturer column and allow you to select the composite interface

Okay so this is the problem. I figured it out 2 days ago.
check the bootloader driver when you're in fastboot. Right click it and update driver, it should be the Android Bootloader 9.00, and not Bootloader 11.00
it's a silly weird fix, but it should be under Android and not Kedacom
I was using the Android SDK Studio Platform Tools and Google Drivers provided from SDK Studio

deleted

Similiar to the previous users post I'll try and be a bit more clear.
unplug your device if plugged in.
boot in to fastboot mode on your device.
Go to your PC and access device manager
plug your device in and you should see
"kedacom" instead of android interface
now inside you wanna click update driver
browse my compute for driver software > let me pick from a list of driver software > "Android adb sooner interface"
if its not that exact one check for the one that does say adb interface.

I created a bootable USB drive with Linux Mint to solve my problem. It was Windows 10 that would recognize my OnePlus 3 in "Fastboot Mode" with Kedacom drivers.

No fastboot!

Hi there,
I'm trying to install TWRP. But I can't do any fastboot command. ADB works. Device isn't recognized in system and with "fastboot devices" nothing shows up. :/
I've tryed many drivers but nothing works.
I'm using Win 10 x64. Does anyone have a suitable way to get it working?
Thanks!

This is a problem related to Windows 10 that uses the wrong driver.
Somewhere I have found a guide to manually choose the correct one, but at the moment I don't remember where... googling you will find instructions

Oh sorry.

Does someone have an idea?

This might come a year too late, but in case someone else runs into the same problem (like myself), you can solve it by installing the latest (signed) ADB drivers with this Tool, then rebooting the tablet to fastboot mode and run the tool again. This still doesn't install the correct fastboot drivers, but it should now be listed as "ADB Interface" -> "Unknown Device" in the device manager, and if you right click and choose "Update driver" -> "Browse my computer for driver software", you should see a driver called "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)", that installs and works correctly for the Pixel C.

@Mambobuzzz
One option you have and it's been updated this month too, is you could try installing and using tiny adb & fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-windows-tiny-adb-fastboot-august-2021.3944288/
I can't stand Windows for a few reasons! Make a live USB and try a Linux distro! You will never have this problem again and I guarantee you won't miss Windows.
Edit added:
Reasons why this is happening:
Bad connection somewhere.. The USB connection you are plugging in to on your PC could be messed up, the USB cord could be messed up, or where your type c plugs in to your device is messed up.... Oooorrrrr it's driver issue. And knowing Windows I betcha it's a driver issue. When you plug your tablet in are you enabling USB debugging and developer options and changing the "default USB configuration" from "Charging" to "File tansfer ?" And when you do those things are you watching the table REALLY CLOSELY for the little box that pops up for 5 seconds that you MUST put a checkmark in otherwise adb and fastboot will not work? Reboot a few times on your PC and update the drivers in Windows Device manager.. I remember once I had to reboot 3-4 times to finally get mine working. When you type adb --version then push enter in terminal and fastboot --version push enter what does it say?
