[Q] Rooting on mac: Device Offline?

I am running tests on my new mac to see if i can root my galaxy nexus to install the tablet mod. Anyway, when i type adb devices or anything of the sort it tells me my device is offline. I have googled it with no results of how to make device online.
So my question is how do I make my device online so i can execute commands?
I have usb debugging on.
Phone is offline when booted, but also did not work in recovery mode which is what i want.
I'm on Android 4.0.4 if that matters.
Any other questions please ask!
Thank you amazing brainiacs of XDA!

So you have terminal pointed to the folder where you have ADB at, and you're using the command:
Code:
./adb devices
Right?
I had to do nothing special. Download ADB, plug in phone + turn on USB debugging, and I was good to go.

I did it with mine using the method I sis with my old nexus s 4g. Here's a video I made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9ZDWmbLVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player just follow the instructions but make sure u use a galaxy nexus recovery.img and not the nexus s 4g.

Yes I type that command and it comes back with (my device id) : offline
Could it be my usb cable?

I'm gong to explain this once more because realized I missed saying something. When I type a command in terminal it works. I can type ./adb devices and it will show my device. The problem comes when I type say ./adb pull. Instead of pulling what I asked, it says "error device offline." Has anyone experienced this?

I'm going to root and pull framework-res.apk so I can edit books.XML to rid of the nav bar. I like to do things myself if I can figure them out haha. But I'm stumped :/

ADB won't work in recovery...can you see it in recovery with Fastboot?

Yes, the device is recognized In recovery, fastboot, and regularly booted. I just cannot issue a command. Anything I type for example ( ./adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk) it tells me cannot issue command, device offline. Hopefully that makes sense!

You can't/don't have to be in recovery to use ADB... you need your phone on! Fast boot commands = recovery, ADB commands = phone in android.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I know this. I'm saying any command, adb or fastboot. Returns the same response "phone offline" in every state. Last night when I used adb my phone was on in android, but returned the same error "phone offline, cannot execute command.) even when I type adb devices it shows my phone as plugged in but next to it it shows my phone is offline. How do I make the phone online? The phone was on the homescreen with adb debugging on. I cannot issue any other command when my phone is offline.

I want everyone reading this to know that I know when to use adb and fastboot. My problem is I cannot use them because my Mac terminal says my device is offline. I read on Google it should be online, but have yet to find a way to make it online. That is my question
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

That sounds like a driver issue...I'm horribly unfamiliar with Macs, but you can try uninstall and re-install of the drivers?
This help?

Please don't post wrong information. You can use adb in either recovery or in the OS. Fastboot commands can only be used when booted into fastboot mode (i.e., the bootloader), not in recovery.

Wiped internal storage - how do I flash a rom?

My son accidentally wiped internal storage. He does not have a backup on his pc. He has twrp. How can he flash a rom? The pc does not see his internal storage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

You should be able to adb push a rom.zip you may have to mount data in twrp
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

If you can access adb from TWRP recovery, you can adb push a ROM to the internal memory and flash it.
Or, you can download the device's stock fastboot files and use them to flash back to stock.
Note: Don't use toolkits.

would you mind walking me through how to do that? i can get to recovery but im rattled on using adb.

Do you have the sdk set up? Copy the ROM to the platform_tools directory and open a command prompt there. Then...
adb push NAMEOFZIP.zip /sdcard/

Worked. Thanks a million.

Erased everything. Stuck in recovery with no rom. Help?

So I screwed up, wasn't paying attention and wiped everything including the internal sd card. Now I'm stuck in recovery with no rom to flash. I tried mounting usb storage in recovery but nothing happens. My computer dings when I plug the phone in but it doesn't show up, then I press mount and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Guide in my signature.
Post one for ADB.
Post three for pushing a ROM.zip to your phone.

You can use ADB to push a ROM .zip to the internal storage while in the recovery.

Ok awesome, thanks guys. For a minute I was thinking I might be screwed since I couldn't mount.

ADB and fastboot can usually save your ass.

Ok, downloaded latest drivers, reinstalled ADB using the ADB for dummies app. copied rom to platform tools, held shift and right clicked inside the platform tools folder, clicked "open command window here".
In the command window I have after trying to push looks like this:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push milestone4.zip /sdcard/
error: device not found
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
Any idea how to get my device to be found?

You have your phone connected and booted into recovery? Then you need to install the adb driver. Use the naked driver mentioned in the 101 & faq (link is in my signature).

Open the device manager before plugging in your phone. Plug in your phone watch for newly listed devices. You should see your phone be added to the list.

So again, need more information
In the fifth post from that link describes the type of info you may want to share
Also in the post I linked you has a link for how to install Ubuntu on the g2 which seems to be what you want
You need to explain all what you have tried and where you got stuck along with all info pertinent about your phone
Without this all I can do is write a guide for you which you have already read so... Yeah

(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
im stuck at step 10 Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
"Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device." ← this part

So your device is recognized by adb, then you type
adb shell
And you see a # after su
But when you type
cd /sdcard
cd ubuntu
What happens, does it say something like no file or directory? This would mean there is no file on SD card named Ubuntu
Maybe if you can copy and paste all input/output from cmd here
