ADB can't see my Swift

Hi all,
I bought a WileyFox Swift on grey thursday and have edited my adb_usb.ini to include 0x2970, but ADB doesn't see the phone. I have rebooted the PC, run adb kill-server and adb start-server, but all the time when I run adb devices it gives the line "List of devices attached" but nothing.
I've even tried using the USB cable it comes with rather than my normal one. The problem is I'd like to run Locale More, to switch between locales (have you ever tried using the GPS in English when you are in France? Painful on the ears ), but the batch file it comes with doesn't work because it can't find the Swift either.
And yes, I've turned on developer options, etc.
I think I'd like to root as well, but that might prove difficult if ADB can't see the thing in the first place...

If you're trying to root then see the method I added to the end of the ROOT thread (can't post link, new account).
In short, you can get directly into the flashed recovery without it going back to normal and getting over written first without needing to use ADB to send it back to recovery mode.
Just take the back off, then once you have flashed the crackling recovery: pull the battery.
Plug it back in with the volume down held and power the device on, holding volume down.
You'll get into the recovery and can install superSU.
Hope that helps.

I had the same problem on my Windows 10 that was upgraded from 8.1.
To fix it, I removed completely Android SDK and reinstalled it. For some reason this was the solution for me.
I tried the same things as you before that (except factory restore as it is a pain) and got the same results - no device listed.
As for Linux and OSX, the Swift got recognized without a problem.

Hi everyone,
@finnfather I think I have solved the issue. Today, I decided to manualy install (cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2FI) the latest cyanogen update as my phone didn't recive it as an OTA. I downloaded the zip package here and installed it through the atock recovery. And now, adb works! Also, this has fixed a few problems with themes. Now I can use helium! I hope this helps,

Hi
Windows 10, android sdk installed and google drivers.
Fastboot shows 8bce440 fastboot when fastboot devices is tried in cmd (admin priv) and "waiting for any devices"
ADB list devices is also empty.
Any help appreciated.

Have you installed the SDK after getting Windows 10 on the machine? For me removing and re-installing the SDK helped as it was placed there when I still had Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC. I know it is a pain but it helped me remove a lot of old stuff that just wasted space as well.
What do you get from Device Manager? It is also worth it to try different USB port.
Are you using COS or CM?

Hi Cheers for replying.
I have now tried it on Win 10 (clean install) win 8.1 (clean install) and windows 7 (clean install)
Reinstalled sdk on 8.1 and 10 twice but no joy. I cant see anything under device manager for it (in fastboot)
Under devices and printers it shows Android
Any help appreciated.

adb_usb.ini could this help? I have tried creating a file manually. But no joy

In fastboot mode, it should come up as Marshall London Bootloader Interface under Device Manager. From Devices and Printers you can check what driver is currently installed when it's displaying "Android".
Windows 8/10 is very insistent on using verified drivers. You could try to uninstall the current driver and re-connect the device so that Windows can try to find the verified ones.
For me it automatically installed the fastboot drivers, although it wasn't fast enough and the Swift rebooted before the drivers were finished with installation.

Honor 8 pro seen as cd drive

When i connect my phone to the pc the only thing i see is a cd drive with hisuite on it. I'm getting crazy, all of a sudden i can't transfer my files anymore. I looked all morning for a solution but i couldn't find one. Is there anyone who could help me?

Can you confirm you are using the connection in MTP mode?

when you connect to PC, check the phone. pull down the notification bar. there should be an option to change the mode.
also, since you're seeing that CD drive... on the PC, can you see any other drive that resembles the internal storage of the phone? i do see both the "CD drive" and my phone's internal storage.
iinm, under Develop Options, you can set the default. however, i've not gotten it to work at all -- selected MTP but still defaults to charging only, which I find useless.

I am using mtp and the only thing I see is this cd drive with hisuite on it. The thing is that this started to happen all of a sudden and only on this pc because on my laptop it works fine.

Just install Hisuite or Android USB drivers and connect it through MTP, it will recognise the device

Yes you can! Once your device is recognised as MTP device and drivers are installed, then you will see a Honor 8 Pro MTP device symbol in the Explorer, double click it and you can find it as normal USB Drive, then just copy paste like a USB Drive

I reinstalled hisuite but now it won't even show the window on the phone that authorizes adb connection. BTW i'm pretty sure that even when i managed to connect it to hisuite the only thing shown in the explorer was this damn cd drive

Why would you need hi suite? Transferring files doesn't need it. Just plug it in and select the mtp from notification on phone.

i suggest you connect the phone, then from device manager, remove/ uninstall the driver... and let it detect and install the software again.

Try doing this
Go to Windows and search device manager
Remove all the MTP drivers
Select the driver and uninstall it.
Now install Hisuite before connecting your device to the PC.
And then restart your computer.
Now try plugging in your phone.
Hopefully the issue will resolve.
If not then just do all the above steps and instead of installing Hisuite, install Universal ADB Drivers and then try plugging in the phone.

just wondering... is there anyway to turn off/ disable this CD thingy? kinda annoying actually... pops up whenever I plug into my PC. even though i have set default action to do nothing, it is basically still there as CD drive and i can "eject" it. i wish for it to just go away...

If you have installed the Hisuite, it will go away! And then when you select the MTP, your device will be seen as Honor 8 Pro MTP device

not into installing any additional software. never liked such idea even when I was using Samsung. I have even enabled default connection mode as MTP under Developer Options, but it still defaults to charging only... annoying.
i guess worst case... when I can't stand it anymore, i'll install HiSuite.

Broken Screen/Digitizer need backup

Dropped phone, broken screen/digitizer, doesn't respond to touch
Was able to see the screen a bit yesterday but now its almost all black. I mainly just need my photos off it. Tried an RMA to replace the screen but they said they had to wipe everything first
Is there any way I can pull the photos off it? I haven't tried an otg yet, but I also can't see the screen, so im not sure it would help
Is there a screen sharing program I could get w/o first installing it on my phone?
I think my phone may be rooted, i forget if i ever did, but i dont have TWRP installed on it? (i dont super know what that is but i see other people talking about it)
Any thoughts on how to pull photos off it? I tried the adb devices but the cmd prompt doesn't seem to recognize the phone
Im quite sure I have debugging enabled, just coudln't get the file transfer button hit

Adb pull command should work, but you need to sort the drivers first (I'm guessing that's the issue).

Sorry, can't give definite answer, I know that I had an issue with drivers (device wasn't properly recognized) and tried pretty much everything that Google suggested ... Until it finally started working. I have no idea exactly what solved the issue, it was over a year and a half ago. The next time I clean installed Windows (10 in both cases) it was smart enough to automatically find right drivers.
So ... I'm guessing Googling something like "OnePlus 3 Windows # drivers" should find something useful?
About image verification: are you talking about anti-bot system that checks if you're human? Wouldn't know much about that, never personally had issues with it, but also very rarely see it on XDA as I'm nearly always checking this forum in Tapatalk app.

If you had earlier connected your phone to the PC and authorised the PC connection on your phone, then it is a simple issue of disabling driver signature verification on Win 10 and installing the OnePlus drivers on it. Search for and download the correct drivers to your PC. Hold down Shift key and restart the PC. Choose Troubeshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Options and click Restart. On restarting, there will be a list of options. Choose 7 in the Options or click F7 on your keyboard and you will boot into the disabled mode. Now connect your phone and go to Device Manager in PC. Choose the phone which may be showing up as Unknown or with an yellow flag and right click and choose Update Driver. Navigate to the downloaded driver and install it. Now your phone should be properly recognised. Use adb pull command to copy whatever files you need to. Note that this driver signature verification disabling is temporary and when you restart the PC in the normal way, the PC will go back to the normal mode. But the installed drivers will still function.
Hope this helps.

Oh wow, do you know if this works on Win7? And also I can't see my screen at all, so could I do adb pull of entire folder or hardrive kind of thing? I mainly just want phots, but i've never done adb stuff so not sure how it works

Had the same issue with my Lenovo P2. Only i didn't have debugging enabled. If you have, screen mirroring should be an easy solution. You could just see ur phone screen on ur computer that way. What helped me was to forceboot the phone to recovery with the hardware buttons, then connect it to ur pc. TWRP will automatically launch MTP. When u backed up evrything, you can wipe ur device through adb

I don't know about Win 7. It will work on Win 10. Most likely, this should not be needed in Win 7 at all as the drivers should install whether signed or not.
Regarding copying data, a simple command of "adb pull /sdcard" will copy all the folders, files, data etc to your PC. You can also specify where you want the data copied to, simply add the path to the command above. This will work whether your screen works or not. Of course, there are other methods of copying data, you can search for it if you need it.

adb fastboot not seeing device

Sorry for noob question. Searched Searched xda and can't find anything. Pixel3 xl. Stock Android 10. Rooted. Windows 10 with correct drivers so it sees device. Can transfer files easily. USB debugging enabled. ADB and Fastboot do not see device. Used to work but not now. Tried kill-server and start-server in ADB. Tried different cables, restarting phone and computer. No luck. In fastboot mode (on phone) fastboot devices returns nothing. Totally stumped. Can anyone help. Again apologize for noob question but this has always worked before and I've flashed roms as well as stock numerous times with no issues till now. Help!

I think the easy step to determine if it is a phone or computer issue is to at least try from another computer. The one thing that did just occur to me would be to make sure you are using an A>C USB cable and A port and not a C>C with a C port. The Pixel series has tons of problems with C>C.

Have you recently updated and not re-authorized your phone?

To my previous comment, are you using an A>C cable or the C>C that comes with the phone/charger? Besides that, it still sounds like it could be a driver issue where it is recognizing the phone as a generic USB storage device.

just for the heck of it, do you have other cables. Stranger things have happened that made a difference, and the next suggestion involves reinstalling computer and/or phone. Maybe a live USB Ubuntu disk to see what is working and what is not.

I understood fastboot devices doesn't see it, but does Windows show a driver installed for it? I strongly suspect you don't have (the right) drivers properly installed.

Is adb bugs on model SMJ200G (j2) common?

I investigated the ADB program. At How to Install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux, I am stuck at step 7 of the instructions for windows. I do not receive any kind of pop up in my SMJ200G phone (j2).
This step:
7. On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access. Naturally, you will want to grant USB Debugging access when prompted (and tap the always allow check box if you never want to see that prompt again).
