Computer not "finding" device

Hi,
Before I start: I have "scoured the earth" for this, and I can't seem to find this exact problem in any other sites/threads.
I have an HTC Desire Z. I've switched a couple of times between CM7 and MIUI.
Any time I plug my device into a computer, the phone will charge, but the computer will not recognise that the device is plugged in.
The SD card works fine, because I can use it with an external reader.
The cable/drivers work fine, because I can plug in a Nexus S with the same cable.
Been tested on Windows 7, Fedora 15, Xubuntu 11.04.
Code:
~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13d3:5702 IMC Networks
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6366 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi Flash Reader
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Would anybody be able to suggest a way I can go about rectifying this? (already: removed/cleaned sd card, rebooted computer(s), rebooted phone, changed cable)

What's your computer's OS?

As above, tested with fedora, windows 7, and xubuntu.

Okay, that's what I get for not reading the whole OP. Did you try on regular old Ubuntu?

I did when I had ubuntu installed. Still no dice

As an interesting side note, I think the last time this worked properly was when I was using the MoDaCo Custom ROM with Sense (Maybe this is a kernel issue/hardware driver issue?)
(Note, currently on CM7 nightly build (06252011), this feature did not work on MIUI or CM7.0.2 stable)

Did you check to see if USB debugging was enabled? Sometimes it's stupid things like that that do it.

Usually, it's one of the rules in etc/udev/rules.d, but in your case, lsusb doesn't even recognize your device. It should have a vendor ID of 0bb4, but isn't there.
Have you tried plugging your phone in someone else's computer? I suspect it is a hardware issue with your phone.

Yes, I have. However, it worked under a MoDaCo custom ROM. So I'm feeling it might be an issue with the kernel... Is anybody else running CM7 or MIUI?
EDIT: (I'm operating under the impression that kernel configures the hardware for the software)

anybody had this before? :\

Ok: i've just flashed my DZ with sense 3.0 (virtuous fusion ROM), and the tethering and mounting work perfectly. So, there must be an issue with the software. Is anybody else on this forum running a DZ without sense? If so, do you get this bug?

[Q] ADB Won't see my KF

So I have read the all about KF guide, I read the how to set up adb guide, and I used the KF utility to install my drivers for adb, I checked device manager to make sure I have the correct drivers installed but when I execute "adb devices" there is nothing.. So, I installed ubuntu on a machine, spent hours setting it up for adb, got it all up and running and same thing, adb devices = nothing. So my KF is on 6.3.1 stock software, my goal here is to root, and I'm wondering if it is the new software that is screwing me up?? I already asked if the 6.3 root process will work which someone said it should work just fine.. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Any suggestions? I have a friend that is a electrical engineer major who is making me a factory cable... So maybe that is my answer? Thanks

Are you getting an error with adb or are you getting no devices?

I've had usb port problems on my desktop where it wouldn't recognize and ADB device, but switching to a new port worked. Specifically a usb port on a hub, but I imagine this was a very unique case to me, but trying different usb ports is always a good debug step.
Also, usb cables sometimes are bad as well. I have a micro usb cable that only charges, doesn't do any data. I would recommend a new cable as well.
Thirdly, try a different computer if possible. Basically you're trying to isolate the problem is in fact your computer and not your Kindle.

ADB starts the server, and then says
List of devices attatched
thats it.. So looks like adb is working properly.. Just no devices listed.

I've tried 2 different cables, that will transfer files and charge, and 3 different computers now... My work computer, my home desktop, and my new linux build.. So I don't think its a issue with a cable or a port..

In Windows it's most likely a driver problem. With Linux, you have to make sure you set up your udev rules.

I had the same problem in my Mac environment first time I tried to connect adb. It would not connect until I edited the adb_usb.ini file under my .android directory. If the file doesn't exist, create it and add 0x1949 on a line by itself. If that doesn't work you probably have a driver issue as stated previously.

I think you are right with the driver issue.. Just for fun at home I plugged my HTC Supersonic in and adb didn't see it either, but at work I have set up drivers for my HTC and adb can see it here... And my work computer has that file. I'll try to add that file to my computer at home when I get there and see if it fixes it. Thanks for that, I figured it had to be something simple/stupid.

I don't think I set up any udev rules on my linux.. I will check that out as well.

I have a similar problem, and followed probably every adb guide in the forums, along with several other... I bricked my gf's KF accidentally when I was distracted by her son, and missed a step or 2 for the "Kindle Fire Utility", but I THINK the problem started even before that attempting to use the "SuperOneClick" tool to root it... I did everything correctly with the tool BUT from what I've read it is no longer working correctly... The KF is stuck at the boot logo, but I can still turn it on and off... I've added/edited the "adb_usb.ini" file, added myself to the udev group, etc. but the device is still not listed under the "adb devices" command, there is no error, no question marks, no nothing... I've seen it listed as "Google Inc" on some guides under the "lsusb" command, and one with "Lab126" which is what mine is listed as... Also killed/restarted the servers, restarted my computer, shut down my computer, tried different cables (all of which have transfering capabilities), etc. so I am completely lost... Not to mention that the LiveUSB was giving me trouble so instead I erased the Windows 7 partition to fully install Ubuntu 12.04... I've been trying to figure this out for about 3 days to no avail... Any advice???
Thanks in Advance!!!

(Edit: Just tried the "lsusb" command, and it doesn't even show up like that anymore)

yeah run andadb on your machine do steps 1-4 in terminal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405 just right click on andadb go to properties permissions allow it to be executed and run it after all 4 steps are done and you have followed the threads instructions use sudo for your fastbboot commands

@Thepooch alright, that took me a BIG step in the right direction, thanks!!! The "lsusb" command now shows that it's connected as "Lab126" again, BUT "adb devices" still comes back with nothing... I'm sooo close, but still so far from getting this thing right...

List of devices attached

Yeah I'm not seeing the Google driver in the list did you run the sdk and select the top two and Deselect the rest if so that's fine. Power your kindle off type sudo fastboot getvar product plug your kindle in it should power on and terminal output should be product: kindle then type sudo fastboot reboot your kindle will then reboot.

Honestly, I don't know... There was another guide (not sure exactly which one) where I had to install Eclipse and run the sdk and install drivers/platforms from there and I'm not sure exactly which ones it had me install... I tried to do it from the guide that you posted as well but for some reason the part where the sdk was supposed to open etc. didn't work as it was supposed to... The rest worked fine though... I'll have to re-check it, but hopefully that piece of information is what I've been searching for, but at the same time if it is, I'm going to feel even more "special" lol...
Edit: Not sure if the SDK is the same when using Eclipse or not, but the "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform Tools" are my first 2 and they were already installed... Did everything you said from there,and I've been "< waiting for device >" for a good 5 minutes now... Is it always this complicated or did I just really screw things up???

Lab126 is your device booted normally or in recovery. As Lab126 you can only issue adb commands. lsusb > Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1949:0100 Lab126
Google inc. is your device in fastboot mode. As Google inc. you can only issue fastboot commands. lsusb > Bus 001 Device 005: ID 18d1:0100 Google Inc.
What seems to be the problem is, what you think to be fastboot is kind of misleading. The stock Kindle ROM has the Kindle Fire logo for its boot animation as well as the bootloader. So, if you're stuck in a boot animation bootloop it could very well seem like you're stuck in fastboot. But that's just a guess.
Enter "adb devices" and see if you're connected.
[Edit:]Also, double check your adb_usb.ini to make sure it's configured properly.

Not sure exactly who you're suggestions are meant to be towards but it fits right along with my problem, and it's put in a much more informative way than I could've put it ... How would I/is it possible for me to get into fastboot while it's still recognized as "Lab126"??? All of my files including "adb_usb.ini" are configured to the best of my knowledge...

When you open adb_usb.ini does it have 0x1949 on its own line and nothing else on that line?
And when you enter "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules", do you see this...
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0006", MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0100", MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"

Yup, the only difference is on the 51 rules file, I switched "OWNER="root"" to "OWNER="CJ""...

[Q] Kindle Fire stuck at boot animation after LCD Density change

Hi everyone,this is my first post on the XDA forum.Recently,i had installed the Stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1_r1 for the Kindle Fire made by Hashcode.Things have been working well,untill today.I found an app call LCD density modder(2.4.2) and i installed it.After i apply my density change(160 to 200),the system reboot.However,it only passed the Kindle Fire Red logo and then stuck at the Jelly Bean 4.2.1 animation boot.
I have tried to connect the Kindle Fire to my pc and tried to use the Kindle Fire Utility but my ADB is set at offline.I have tried everything,uninstall driver to normal boot-turn off device trick,but none of them has work.I'm a newbie,so this is really confusing for me right now.If anyone know how to fix this,please help me !!!
P.S:Sorry for my bad English.It isn't my native language !!!
UPDATE:
So I've try using Ubuntu 12.10, install Soupkit, It didn't work: ADB status is Offline.
Switch to Ubuntu 12.04. and tried to test something, and I think maybe there is sth wrong.
First I hit this, with my KF plug in

So my guess it my PC still recognised it as Lab126.
Then I did another test, I type in
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.s/51-android.rules
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And this showed up:
# adb protocol for blaze / otter (Amazon Kindle Fire)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", MODE="0666", OWNER="root", GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"
# fastboot protocol for blaze / otter (Amazon Kindle Fire)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I think that my system need some adjust. Can anyone help me please?
Update: I saw that on when I got lsusb it supposed to say Bus 003 Device 026: ID 1949:0006 Lab126 or something. but I got 0005.
Maybe this is the problem, I don't really know. Can anyone take a look and see what happend to my KF Id.

if you boot to your recovery (twrp) you should have adb available.
then you can set the density back in the build.prop in the system folder.
take care of the permissions !

But i can't boot into TWRP.
My kindle doesn't show up the yellow triangle.It just show up the regular kindle fire logo

gave you a pm ...

I'm trying on Soupkit but it said that "Device Offine", and I really don't know what to do next, first time on Ubuntu and have tried some solutions but they just don't work. Anyone can help?

with ubuntu no drivers are needed - try a other cable first - then maybe contact soupmagnet for further help

Two things...
1) In your PM you said "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" opens a blank document, but here you state otherwise. So which is correct?
2) I've seen the PID of 0005 in only one other situation before and it resulted in having to replace the bootloader. But your device has moved past the bootloader and on to the boot animation so your situation may be different...or not. You could try to change your udev rules to match the PID indicated by the device and then reload the udev rules:
Code:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
...if that doesn't work, you'll need a factory cable to get the device into fastboot so you can access recovery. Even then, you may be looking at usbboot to fix the bootloader.
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"

1) In your PM you said "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" opens a blank document, but here you state otherwise. So which is correct?

The PM was wrong, the code when I used was wrong, I type in
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/[B]e[/B]dev/rules.d/51-android.rules
So It was obviously wrong ( but I copy the code from your thread )
Gonna try your suggestion now, Right now I'm in Window so can't try it yet.
Try to get a factory cable in a day or two. May have to build one myself because I live in Vietnam. Or I can try to buy one from China, idk.
Posting the result soon, I hope.

Can one of you guys PM me? I came through a page on the Internet (which XDA won't allow me to post) and I think I found a guy who successfuly solved one similar problem. But I don't understand what he said, so can you help me. The link is on linuxsleuthing blogspot, page :Rubbing Sticks: Lighting The Kindle Fire . Plz have a quick look

Everything that guy is talking about, is done automatically in SoupKit when you install it.
Get your factory cable then we can work from there.

My kindles TWRP is gone after i tried installing the kindle os so i can remove jelly bean. Now my kindle wont boot, and wont show up in KFU so i can fix it. When i turn it on it show KINDLE FIRES original logo bright then black outs in like 5 seconds and show it again with a dimmer light. Do you have any idea how i can fix this because ive been searching for 4 weeks now and cant find one thing. thank you.

4 weeks really? Okay well a couple things did you do a full wipe when you flashed stock? My guess is no. What was the charge level of your battery when you flashed update.zip? If you didn't do a full wipe your kindle is stuck trying to handle the data left behind. This requires a factory cable to fix. If your battery was near depleted when you flashed it the problem could be compounded by a 5 second boot loop. My guess is the prior improperly flashing of stock without a full wipe buying a cable and leaving it on charger is your best bet for a fix. Cables can be puchased here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 post 9 and worth every penny. Good luck

[Q] Stuck at boot animation while computer recognizes device but ADB and KFU don't

here's what happened:
flashed new ROM (SmoothROM v1.2) in TWRP 2.2.x.
loaded up new ROM where the dock was missing and the background was black. figured something wrong happened on bootup, so I did a hard reboot. (thinking back on it, I think I forgot to install a launcher, which was really, really dumb of me. I've done this a million times and just assumed if I didn't choose one then it would use a default.)
Kindle Fire logo shows up (no animation), quickly flashes off and back on, and then gets stuck at the CM10.1 boot animation.
I can get my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) to recognize the device as an Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager only if I install the drivers manually, otherwise it fails. shows up as Amazon Kindle Fire under Devices and Printers.
it isn't recognized in ADB or KFU, which is my biggest concern. (before all this it was recognized just fine.) it's always "Offline" or "error: device not found" or "waiting for device."
I feel like I've literally tried everything at this point. uninstalled and reinstalled EVERYTHING, different ports, different USB cables, different computers, different OSes, pushing commands through ADB...
does anyone have any solutions or suggestions for me at this point? if you want to know what all I've tried I'd be happy enough to type out all I can remember.
cheers,
Rachel

ha, I was thinking you'd be the first one to respond. I don't know how many of your posts I have read trying to figure out a solution to this problem...
I rooted my KF over a year ago, and if my memory serves me correctly, I never installed FFF...

Shame on you.
You need to get into fastboot so you can access TWRP. Even then, you'll need to be able to send fastboot commands. Windows can compound the issues you're dealing with so to save yourself the trouble, you need to get a Linux LiveUSB set up and install SoupKit. That will make sure your your ability to send and and fastboot commands isn't being hindered by the operating system.

I don't think you need to be doing the shorting trick just yet. Just use SoupKit to try and install a new bootloader.

i am actually facing a somewhat similar issue. i had flashed a jelly bean rom on my KF and then used twrp to flash the stock 6.3.1 however, i dont think i did it right. KF would then reboot every 10 sec. Initially it asked me to force close android.processes.acore and calender storage thing. I was able to get rid of these two msges with a "clear data" on the contact storage and calender storage. But KF still reboots every 5-10 sec.
i also tried using soupkit but in the terminal, it say

I don't think you need to be doing the shorting trick just yet. Just use SoupKit to try and install a new bootloader.

alright, I tried installing a bootloader with no luck.

i am actually facing a somewhat similar issue. i had flashed a jelly bean rom on my KF and then used twrp to flash the stock 6.3.1 however, i dont think i did it right. KF would then reboot every 10 sec. Initially it asked me to force close android.processes.acore and calender storage thing. I was able to get rid of these two msges with a "clear data" on the contact storage and calender storage. But KF still reboots every 5-10 sec.
i also tried using soupkit but in the terminal, it say

You need a factory cable to get into fastboot because you didn't wipe system AND factory reset before
flashing a ROM.

Make sure you're not using a USB3.0 port and post the output of the command 'lsusb' from the terminal.

Well that's good, but you may need a factory cable to get into fastboot. Once you can get into fastboot, SoupKit should take care of the rest.
enter the following and post the results:
Code:
lsusb -vd 1949:0006 | grep 'bcdDevice'

Another bricked Kindle Fire post. No fastboot, no adb, help!

First of all, I've spent many, many hours reading everything and trying everything I could find so sincere apologies if I have missed the solution to my problem.
So I have a Kindle Fire which I got months ago and have never been able to make work. It appears to have been almost completely wiped. It can do two things as of now:
1. Be stuck in a bootloop: displays FireFireFire logo, restarts, rinse, repeat.
2. Get into TWRP
Regardless of which of these states the device is in, neither my Windows PC (which has drivers, SDK, tools etc installed) OR my Ubuntu machine (on which I used SoupKit to install the necessaries) can see the device. It doesn't show in Device Manager in Windows and neither fastboot nor adb show any entries for the device when I run them on EITHER platform and in either of the states I can get the device into.
Any input from people more experienced than me would be appreciated. I got a factory cable in the post today so if that will help I have that option available to go. Oh and finally solutions using my Ubuntu machine rather than the Windows one would be strongly preferred although I can do either if I have to.

Boot into TWRP and see if your device shows up under 'lsusb'
...if it does, then use TWRP to "reboot bootloader" and check 'lsusb' again.

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for my slow reply back
The device isn't showing when I run lsusb - I assume you would have mentioned if it was not going to obviously be the KF. Anyway just in case, here is the output:

Anybody got any insight as to what I should do next?

Is it safe to assume you don't have a factory cable?
Also, does the usb cable you're using seated tightly or is it kind of loose?
If it's loose, try this...
Enter the following command in the terminal (Linux) and try to finagle the USB to see if it is a bad connection:
Code:
while true; do lsusb | grep 'Lab126'; done
If you have a bad connection, due to the cable or USB connector, as soon as a good connection is made you will see it output to the terminal. Just remember to ctrl+c to end the loop when you're done with it.

Hey Thanks for the very quick reply!
I actually do have a factory cable, I bought one this week So if the factory cable is likely to be the easiest way to fix things then I have it ready.
I used multiple different USB cables on the two different machines. Should I still try the thing you mentioned or is there something else I should proceed with using the factory cable?
Thanks for the help Soup.

Before I switched to the black USB cables from Amazon for their quick chargers, my device would do sort of the same thing. I had to pull up or push down on the connection before it would detect. If you have a factory cable made by Skorpn try that one to see if a connection is made. IIRC, Skorpn's factory cables fit very tightly so it might make a difference. Either way, try what I suggested earlier to rule out any hardware based issues with the USB.

I just tried what you suggested with both two different regular USB to Micro USB cables and also with my factory cable. In all cases there was no output in the terminal. I tried it both from TWRP and from the FFF logo screen (which no longer bootloops btw, it seems to just be hanging at the FFF logo now if I don't press power to get into TWRP).
Thanks again

Anyone able to help further? Situation is still the same as in my last post.

You can try to usbboot, but it would require opening your device.

Thanks for the response.
I can open the device if necessary, right now I have a very expensive paperweight so it's not as if I have anything to lose
I assume that there are guides available for the whole procedure i.e. from opening up the device to doing the usbboot?
