[Q] Not able to debug! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development

So I am a bit done with just flashing other roms to my kaiser and also want to develop some apps and want to experiment with making my own roms, but initially just porting roms from other devices like the HTC wildfire. But I am not able to use debugging:
So this is what I have done I have installed the android sdk and also installed the ADT plugin for eclipse. Then I have compied the android-sdk file to the root of my c drive so it is easier to use the command line interface with this file. I then run the following commands in the cmd, as admin:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
And here is where the **** just hits the fans I am unable to see my device in the list of devices. While my device is recognized by the computer as ADB Interface > HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface in the device manager section. (But I must note that when I click on the device it is noted: "Device cannot start. (code 10)" ) Also when I double click on the device in the regular computer windows (where all your hd's are showed) the file system of the device is empty!
So does anyone have any advice?

Have you test it from a live usb or CD GNU/Linux like Ubuntu?

Nope, I hoped that it would work in Windows, but I will try it in Linux if that would solve it.l But can you see anything that i am doing wrong or is it just Windows

I always have problems with USB management on Windows, all versions...with all my computers. Linux kernel seems to be better, imho, for USB.

New to ADB and have a few questions I can't find the answers to...

Now, I have figured out that I have to actually be in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder for ADB to work, but when I type adb devices it just says List of devices attached but doesn't list my Evo.
I have USB debugging on.
An Android ADB/rooting noob guide would be very helpful right now.

Does it have anything there when you type adb devices? Should come up with a HT and some numbers after it....being your device, EVO.
Actually, there is a step by step Guide for EVO root, and a ADB Guide for Beginners
Your device isn't being recoginized check the driver if u r in windows.
Ok, I managed to figure out the cryptic SDK installer and download the USB driver package to android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. I used Device Manager to install the driver and I pointed it to that folder and I get the "Windows was unable to install your ADB".
Are you already Rooted? as for the Drivers, when I plugged in my EVO via USB, it installed drivers...I also copied the HTC Sync that came on the SDCard w/phone, onto my pc. But I did not have to do anything further.
Can I ask what you are trying to do in adb? and is this for the EVO?
use the cd command to make sure you are in the android sdk tools folder
if you want adb to work
what i do
1. use the cd command to go to the directory where my sdk is located which for example is c:\androidsdk\tools
2. there you go
3. if you want shell make sure your device is connected
"adb shell"
and have htc sync from evo's sd card installed
http://myevo4g.net/main/?p=83
Sent from my HTC EVO
download htc sync and install that. i was having the same problems and apparently the usb drivers that get installed with that app are the ones that worked like a charm for me.
Try
Code:
./adb devices
Instead.
--> try" adb start-server "
If your HTC dont show up, it's usually because the ADB server isnt running. Hope this helps =]
I've rooted a hero before and felt pretty confident with android sdk, usb drivers, etc. After spending an hour trying to get it to work on my win 7 64 bit system, I thought it might save someone some time if I posted what finally allowed me to get adb to work.
My problem was the computer wouldn't recognize the EVO as a device. Even after I installed the usb drivers through android sdk. I tried to manually update them through device manager (pointing it to the usb drivers directory) and still no luck.
As the video linked above showed, the missing piece for me was installing htc sync. use the version that comes on the phone. So connect the phone to the computer, mount it as a drive from the phone menu, then copy over the htc sync directory to your computer, then run it. The version on my phone was 2.031. THEN the computer will recognize it with usb debugging turned on and I'm able to adb to the phone through the command prompt.
Hope that helps someone. Sean

[q] adb shell from any computer

Is it possible; from any computer, within the command line to run commands on any android devices/phone ie: adb shell, adb devices, adb logcat, adb push that already has android adb/sdk installed?
The reason I asked is cause I installed android sdk/window usb driver on my main laptop with no problems, but I recently purchased another laptop went through the same setup procedure but my adb does not recognize or see my phone when I have it plugged in via usb.
I am at a loss and dont know what to do...

1) install HTC sync to get the Evo drivers
2) install Android SDK
3) add the tools folder with adb.exe in it to your windows Path or always navigate the command line to that folder.
should work

-Downloaded ADB/SDK again to a different directory, same error
-Updated USB driver and SDK components, same error
-Disabled all firewall/anti-malware/anti-virus, same error
-Rebooted multiple times, same error off boot
-Port 5037 is not bound by any app or process
-ADB, upon failed load, is not listed in Taskmgr, nothing to kill
-Deleted temp files
-Issued at prompt: ADB Disconnect, ADB USB, ADB devices: All return same error as above
-Issued at prompt: ADB kill-server, only prompt returns
Read lots of posts on the web, nothing helps.
I am really interested in a solution and would like to understand what is causing the problem. If in fact it is a configuration issue, where is the ADB config file?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running the command prompt as an administrator.

I originally added my post to this thread in the Nook forum. I don't think there is enough expertise in that forum to help with this problem.
The bottom line is that ADB no longer works and I can't figure out why (see quoted text above). I would imagine that someone here would have an answer for this. Please help!
Thanks.
Only thing I would try it open Task Manager and go to processes and close anything that is adb or adb.exe.

In this case, ADB never starts. It does not work even after a fresh reboot. It is not found in Taskmgr nor Process Explorer.

Is what he meant was to kill any process that is using adb. This is not only a process that is Android related etc. My buddy had your exact same problem because he had his external hd connected to his computer before trying to run adb. Restarting and killing processes that were using adb on his computer did the trick. Hope this helps!
My problem was Windows

In my case, the problem was Windows Vista. From day one, Windows refused to successfully install the USB drivers for the EVO (with the very helpful diagnostic message: "Windows encountered an error installing..."). I have never been able to use adb, and this meant that all the rooting (and update/upgrade) guides that required adb had to be adapted to getting the file(s) onto the SD card, and then using Terminal Emulator (or similar app) to get the job done.
I've just completed a disk-wipe-and-reinstall of Windows on my laptop, and hope to find the time next week to install all the SDK goodies and make sure that the USB subsystem recognizes my EVO. I'm fed up with not being able to use adb, and that, along with Windows Update failing to install over a dozen security patches, finally pushed me over the edge into a re-install. Auuugh! The pain!

Interesting, but I haven't been able to find any other service that is bound to adb and I have no other USB devices connected. Thanks for chiming in though.

For me, I have been able to get two Vista and one Windows 7 computer to work with ADB and HTC drivers the first time. I also have an Epic, and the Samsung drivers installed fine as well (even though they are known to have issues).
Unfortunately, ADB just "broke" one day.
I keep thinking that the Evo community has enough brains and knowledge to sort this out quickly...
Have you updated the sdk recently?
The updated sdk moves the adb files from the tools folder to another folder called platform-tools.
I have adb working properly on both my vista machine and my ubuntu machine hosted on my vista machine.
If you have installed htc sync before uninstall it and the htc driver installer.
Redownload htc sync and the adb files (adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll is all you need). Since adb was working correctly before I'm assuming your java is installed correctly as well.
Reinstall htc sync. When that finishes I suggest a reboot. When you've rebooted uninstall htc sync but leave the htc driver installer. Reboot again.
When you've rebooted again enable usb debugging on your device and connect it to your pc choosing charge only.
This should hopefully reinstall the usb drivers correctly. On vista it installs as adb device or something along those lines.
If the drivers install correctly you should be able to run adb from the directory your two files are in (desktop for example).
If you want, send me a pm with your gtalk username and I can help you troubleshoot it.

Thanks for replying. I had already updated ADB (in platform-tools) before started having this problem. I had also uninstalled HTC sync (reboot, launch ADB w/o HTC sync, same problem) and reinstalled HTC sync, same problem. I updated Java JVM, no change. I then re-downloaded the SDK to a different directory, no dice.
I usually open a command prompt "as Administrator" and run ADB from the directory. Even with a device disconnected, I get the same error. I test this way because if I issued "ADB devices" and it returns nothing, I know it's working. It appears that ADB doesn't even start to the point to poll for devices.
I have, just for laughs, connected my device (USB debugging/charge only), but no joy.
I won't have much time to poke around more until the weekend. If I don't come up with anything, I will take you up on the gtalk. Thanks again.
Windows Vista just makes it all that much harder to fix things...

In my case, I tried all these things and many more (lived with this problem since first getting my EVO on release date in June). No dice, as Windows Vista, once it installs a device driver, doesn't give the user the option to uninstall it (by Microsoft's expressly-stated intent -- a design decision I vehemently disagree with). At least the user could repair such problems in prior versions of Windows by simply uninstalling a device, choosing "yes" to the "remove driver files from the disk" question, and (after the obligatory and ubiquitous Windows reboot) re-connect the USB device. That would start fresh with that device's driver.
I never invested the time to learn how the USB subsystem registers devices and their drivers (in Windows Vista) in order to determine how to manually remove a driver from the Windows Registry adequately that it would treat the device as "new hardware detected" upon the next connection.
Once Windows Vista has scrambled some internals in the database/registry controlling the USB subsystem's driver knowledge, you're toast. Nothing I could find in Microsoft's Knowledge Base nor MSDN shed any light on how to tackle the removal-and-recreation-from-scratch of the USB system configuration.
Microsoft's stock answer was invariably "re-install Windows". Yeah, thanks for that. Windows, even more than 26 years later, is still not a real operating system, and still has bugs dating back to Windows 3.1.
Sigh.
Check Windows Firewall service.
In my case I just turned off the Windows Firewall and it started working.

I accidently figured it out
so i was trying to find my cid number because i was flashing ICS firmware and stuff, and the adb deal in the prompt kept giving me the exact same error, and thus would'nt work. after trying everything (such as: installing drivers, killing the process, restarting my comp, reinstalling adb, etc.) for about an hour and a half, i just stumbled upon a page that was linked to in the ICS flash guide, that had a different adb folder download. this download has an entirely different effect on the command prompt and worked so i could get my cid number and rewrite superCid. here it is:

[q] ADB Mac can't find galaxy nexus

Anybody get adb shell working on mac in terminal? Device doesn't even show up for me
Same issue here....
i got it to be recognized on my windows computer, but when i pull packages.xml nothing shows up anywhere.
No issues here; ensure developer/USB debugging is turned on and you are using a newer platform tools from Google.
You should be on platform tools Rev 9 or higher.
(If you downloaded the SDK go to the directory in shell/terminal on your mac, cd tools, then run ./android
This will let you do GUI based updates to the tools
In case you never had the SDK - I have posted my working Mac ADB and fastboot's here.
I have the same issue. I don't get it to be recognized when using ./adb usb or ./adb devices.
OS : Mac os X Lion 10.7.2
has anyone figured this out?
as far as I know I am running the latest SDK... but I will double check.
frustrating.
has anyone tried connected via Parallels?
UPDATE - just confirmed my SDK is at v15, so that can't be the issue.
Also - NPS_CA, your abd didn't work any better than mine - still not showing up.
make sure easy tether isn't installed on mac

Drivers to allow ADB

Does anyone know where to find official Nokia drivers for this phone so that I can connect to it via ADB? If an official one doesn't exist, are there other options? Thanks!
I have the same problem
When I plug mine Ito the PC, I get an autoplay popup (win 7) for a CD ROM drive. Open the drive and there is a setup.exe that should install the usb driver.
I already have an existing ADB setup on my PC so after doing the driver install the ADB commands work
You will need to set the developer options in setup and set usb debug as well.
HTH
Sooo...I'm a moron. It was the ADB version I was using. I grabbed the latest version of the Android platform tools and everything worked swimmingly.
