[TUT] ADB no device found -- Getting ADB to work

The easiest way of getting ADB to work:
Turn your phone OFF (Yes, off)
Connect it to your pc and wait for windows to finish "installing the drivers"
Try ADBing by going to ure fastboot folder (assuming it has the ADB executable inside the folder as well).
You could check if your device was recognized by firing
Code:
adb devices
If it doesn't show anything then do the following:
Grab the appropriate pc drivers from here: http://www.android-advice.com/2012/how-to-root-the-htc-one-x-and-htc-one-s/
Extract the drivers
Now go to Start menu and right click on my computer and then click manage.
Now go to device manager and there you should see your connected One X listed as being without a driver.
Right click on that entry and select 'update driver'
Now tell it that you have the driver on local disk and then browse to the folder you extracted.
Update your driver.
Disconnect and reconnect the device and try ADBing again.
Should work.

If your phone is off then Windows won't see it. Just install HTC Sync (so you get the drivers - you can uninstall HTC Sync afterwards if you're not going to use it) then plug the phone in when booted into Android. Repeat process when in FASTBOOT to get Windows to see the phone in FASTBOOT mode as well
Simples!

That is the thing -- IT DOES SEE IT! Try it yourself.
I didn't think it would but Jotha told me that it would. I tried it and it worked. I was surprised.

Yes device is seen through adb when off.
This is because as soon as you plug the USB cable, offmode comes up with charging and ADB support
Offmode is embeded in the recovery partition
PS: This needs latest clockworkmod recovery to work...

Latest ADB?
Hi!
When i was restoring my Sensation to S-ON i noticed that ADB was complaining about version out of date something....
Where can i get the latest version of ADB for using with my One X when i've decided if i should wait or use hTC bootunlocker...

Is there a way for Linux?

Android SDK straight from Google should take care of that.

Also, use HTC USB cables, sometimes using non-standard USB cables can make searching for devices impossible.

No. As long as the cable is properly USB 2.0 compliant, it WILL work, otherwise HTC CANNOT certify against USB 2.0. Tried with proper Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Google cables.

that doesn't work for me.
I tried everything, adb only recognizes my phone when its ON.

See here a few posts back:
You have to have the latest clockworkmod recovery.

Can you help/guide me on how to install it ?
Sorry for being a dummy.

Is there any way with an adb command that we can tell what bootmode the phone is in?
I.E: hotboot or fastboot mode?
Using adb get-state they both return "unknown"?

Huh? It's OFF. My guess would be that it's not in any BOOT mode.

Never mind... I found the androidlib.DLL (I think that's wrong, but its a .net DLL available here on xda) and that manages to return fast boot so I can tell programatically what state it's in...

Please - anyone have any advice as to what could be stopping me from using adb ( from my phone to my PC ) ?
I been working on this for a couple days now, and gotten nowhere. Any thoughts at all ???
Thanks
============================

I have been trying to get adb working on my Win10 machine for a long time and just can not figure out what is wrong.
I have adb installed in c:\adb and my USB drivers are working. I can browse the phone from the PC.
But no matter what I try when I try to adb, I get this:
.
C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
** daemon still not running
error: cannot connect to daemon: No error

(Yes I do have USB debugging ON and OEM ON)
It is weird because it says daemon is nOT running then it tries to start
it and says daemon started Successfully ... then it says daemon still
nOT running. That makes no sense to me ?
Please any thoughts on this ???
Thanks

I can understand the difficulty. This problem is pretty common because there are no official drivers for Win10. These drivers work best on XP. I also could not get the adb to work on my Win10 so I installed Ubuntu and rooting/installing ROM's from ubuntu is a breeze.. srry for not hvng a solution for this.

No way of installing ROM

I need help getting out of this never ending misery. I'm stuck with my unlocked Desire HD, no ROM, and no idea how to get one working. I can't even get back to stock.
I've been looking for solutions for a week now, but it seems the combination of S-ON, no USB debugging and an unlocked bootloader makes most of them undoable.
I am able to get into boot loader, and the currently installed 4eXT recovery.
See attached file for bootloader screen.
Can anyone help me get my phone to work again? Either by a custom ROM or HTC stock; whatever.
Thanks.

What is the problem? What happens when you install a ROM? If you get stuck on the splash screen read my signature.

It gets stuck on the HTC loading screen or on the black screen directly after depending on what I install. Don't I need USB debugging to use fastboot? I'm only getting < waiting for device > when flashing via fastboot.
My device is not listed when using adb devices.

No. ADB is not fastboot. Access fastboot from the hboot menu. Details in the link in my signature.

Yes, I did read your thread. But it doesn't work since it's not getting a connection to the device.
See attached image.

So you're booting into hboot, navigating to fastboot with your volume keys, and selecting it with the power key? If so, and fastboot still isn't getting a connection, I have no idea. Maybe check your cable or your USB port connectivity.

Yes. It does say FASTBOOT USB and I can see the device in the Device Manager. I also have the Android SDK Tools as well as the Google USB Driver installed.
I always thought you needed USB debugging on on the phone to get access to the phone's system folders.

No, USB debugging (aka ADB) is separate from fastboot. ADB kicks in when you boot the ROM. Fastboot is from the bootloader. Fastboot doesn't access the system's individual folders. It's used to flash entire images.

Not to worry, for I have solved the problem. I was apparently missing a driver that didn't get installed since I was missing USB debugging mode when installing adb and fastboot on my PC.
Going into Device Manager and manually looking up the HTC driver solved it.
Thanks for your time.

Out of interest, did your PC have VMWare Workstation installed? Because on Windows 7 and 8 people are having issues with Android drivers with it installed

[Q] HTC One X Driver for Android 4.2.2

Hi Guys
Do a require a specific driver for the new 4.2.2 system. I have updated my phone to run Cyanogenmod 10.1 and had some issues originally getting adb etc to identify the phone. I have since got past this and now get an unauthorised error in adb. This is normal the issue im having is that my phone does not prompt me when I connect it to my PC. I should be getting a whitelist prompt to confirm I authorise the Pc to run ADB commands.
Has anyone else had this rather than the expected whitelist prompt im getting the little android bloke asking do I want to copy files via usb. Im just trying to work out what I need to do to get my phone to prompt me when I connect via ADB. I have already enabled ROOT access to Apps and ADB, Enabled USB debugging etc
Any help would be appreciated I have tried a number of drivers but only ever get asked to copy file via usb.

Hi Mate
I have tried with HTC Sync on and again after uninstalling it both result in the same issue usb prompt rather than ADB fingerprint prompt. No in Device Manager both of the connections for the device identify and install correctly. One with the phone and another stating something like Android Interface device not on my PC at the mo to confirm the exact name but its something like

Try:

Or if not try hasoons Root Toolkit, im sure that installs some drivers too. Hasoons got my ADB working.
Finally, to find ADB device, are you opening command prompt in Platform-tools folder?

Nice one cheers mate will try these drivers when I get home later. I was originally using Hasoons toolkit which is what flashed the recovery and new rom but once I updated to 4.2.2 the toolkit stopped. It was coming up as device offline. I have managed to get it working by overwritting the old ADB and fastboot files with the new ones for 4.2.2. The ones the toolkit comes with is 4.1 so was erroring as it didnt know to carry out the fingerprint check.
Yes mate I have tried various methods I have accessed the android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run ADB from there this identifies the phone but states its not authorised. I tried using the toolkit with the new ADB and fastboot but get the same.
Im just missing the ADB prompt on my phone for usb debugging just cant for the life of me identify why im getting the copy files from usb prompt rather than the adb fingerprint prompt. Im sure its drivers so am hopeful the ones on the link will fix it. Fingers crossed

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217396
once reinstalled adb gave unauthorised error again but then put the prompt up on the phone. So possible the 4.2 contains the info for requesting permission as i havent changed anything other than the drivers adb and fastboot have been the same since i started. Anyway cheers all

Been so busy in the past few months or so that I couldn't do my helpful stuff. Now I have more free time.

Awesome tutorials! this is where I'm stuck at the moment.
I went as far as to restore my computer to Windows 7 and start over erasing everything. I've tried different USB cables. I know it won't work on my USB 3, i Have one USB 2, I believe I have the drivers installed. I even went as far as to download and install Cyanogenmod on my Verizon HTC One. Enable root, Apps and ADB. allow USB Debugging. I also uninstalled HTC Sync, because another XDA guy mentioned that it can get in the way of things. here is where i am stuck at when attempting to lock my Boot loader.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell
error: device not found
So that is where I am stuck. I see my phone reads fastboot usb, and it will do other commands, so i know it is connected, just not recognizing it? Dumb question, but if I RUU to say 4.2.2, because my phone is able to do that, can I do a software update and install 4.4.2, would that LOCK my bootloader and get me on the right software, so that all i have to do is give the command to go from S-Off to S-On? or will that command even work for me because i cant get the command to even open the shell? Also, is there a way to manually install a driver? I go to my device manager in control panel, and I'm not seeing anything that says Other Devices > One.(UPDATE; I found where HTC is in device manager, I tried updating the driver manually, it say's that driver is already up to date.) and I've gone to the start menu > Run > and ran a command to allow me to install unknown drivers to Windows 7. I have also unplugged anything usb on my laptop, including my wireless mouse.
I've been trying really hard to get my phone back to stock to return back to HTC. Probably a solid 10 to 12 hours last night and this morning working on it. lol
Update: Am I supposed to do anything with Android SDK?
Update 2: I can flash Decripted RUU running adb on CMD with commands and have HTC's Official software running with no problem and it recognizes my phone plugged in. So i went back to Cyanogenmod for now. but for whatever reason, adb device and adb shell are not recognizing my phone that is plugged in
Update 3. Re-installed HTC Sync and installed HTC Sync Manager for the fun of it, and now daemon doesn't even show up when doing command adb devices
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
Update 4: I swear, when we get this working, I'm gonna send whoever a little kickback through Pay pal for helping out with my issues.lol. I feel that maybe it could be my laptop, I'll have to try my 10 year old toshiba.

Uninstall the phone in device manager. Disconnect the phone. Disable windows updates to prevent it from auto installing a generic windows driver. Then plug the phone back in and try to manually install the driver from the video.

Okay. I'll try that out here in a little bit. Another thing I found to be odd, is that my OS is showing up as blank. I hope it will show the correct OS that I'm on, when I get far enough to flash an RUU.

Success! I had to disable updates, even after that, it still would update when plugged in. So I uninstalled updates. Then, I had to catch the device drivers before updating by cancelling them. Installed drivers like in the video, followed steps, everything is a success! this post should be stickied, but that's just me. Good job!

Glad you got it working.
Windows update is nice, but it is really annoying when you want to manually install a better driver.

Great tutorials. Much appreciated.
Can you verify this is working for version 4.4.2? I gave up on my One a while back after running into 8.1 driver issues. Apparently that has been resolved now as well.

I rooted and got S-Off on Win 8.1. I was stock 4.4.2 at the time and never rooted a smartphone before. The tutorial for the driver was spot on. As for the other 2 tutorials, I didn't use them as I found the rest of the process to be pretty straight forward (using WeakSauce & Firewater to root and get S-OFF).

Vids now viewable in OP.

Excellent to hear. Been waiting for this to get sorted out. Will report back when I get time to sit down and run through it all.

I can confirm it works on win 8, got my surface pro adb and fastbooting like a baws in minutes. As above poster mentioned, you either have to uninstall and prevent auto device installation, or if you find it in device manager you can force update the driver , you may have to take the extra step to "Have Disk", manually select the androidusb.inf file from unpacked drivers, then select My HTC

If it is Windows 8 you need to make sure that you installed the drivers while signature enforcement was off. I have also posted an updated video with new drivers, give it a try.

I'm not talking about fingerprint protection, when you switch to other modes aside form Charing when you have USB debugging turned on, if will prompt you to accept the computers fingerprint, meaning make alterations to your device.
You need to allow that, and if you're not getting that prompt, update your sdk tool, drivers, u install the drivers, reinstall them, try a different cable/USB port/ computer. Pretty much do all the basic trouble shooting.
My device was very picky about what port I could use

Adb kill-server worked

I hope someone still sees this post. I have a friends Google Pixel XL that I was able to revive from a bootloop by sideloading the latest OTA. Upon starting up, my friend forgot his screenlock passcode. I've been trying everything to get the device recognized in bootloader mode on my pc. It keeps showing up blank. I am trying to use ADB to bypass the unlock code. If anyone has an idea how I can get into this phone BEFORE I reset it, that would be very appreciated! It is not rooted and no unlocked bootloader.

You have to enable USB Debugging in settings in order to delete the unlock code. Unfortunately, you can't because he forgot it. You can try booting TWRP on the device using fastboot and see if you can delete the unlock code's key file using TWRP's file manager, but the reality here is that you likely will have to reset. Hope your friend didn't use a throwaway email address when setting up the device.
