Can't use ADB - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

So I uninstalled all of the previous Samsung/Koush/Intel Android USB drivers for and downloaded SDK Google USB driver. But I can't get adb to work - when I connect the phone, it says Pixel XL under Portable Devices in Device Manager (Win 7.) I can transfer files, but ADB just won't work.
I used some Intel and Koush Android ADB Device drivers previously, and the Google Nexus ADB device did appear in Device Manager, but adb was still a no go.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Just to make sure, you did enable adb debugging in developer options, right? When you connect the phone to your computer, are you choosing the transfer files option? What is showing up in device manager?

I enabled debugging in developers options.
I tried most of the settings - charging, file transfer, ptp.
When I connect the phone, only one thing appears - Pixel XL under Portable Devices.
I can transfer files as mtp and ptp.
I can also update the driver for Pixel XL and force Google Nexus ADB driver (I believe it comes from something like 2013-2014 USB driver package by Koush.) When I do that, Pixel XL disappears and Android ADB device replaces it under Android Devices. But ADB still doesn't work, when I do adb devices - nothing shows up.
I can also update this driver with a current Google USB driver from the latest android SDK. I think it's version 11. When I do this, Android ADB device gets replaced with Pixel XL under Portable Devices. Still no adb.
I have updated Java SDK, I have updated Windows 7. I spent literally 4-5 hours on this, and I can't figure it out.

When you see it as adb under device manager, try removing the driver by right clicking and uninstall. Unplug the device and replug it in. Then make sure it's using the newest SDK driver, that's what worked for me.

Tried a different computer. Adb worked as soon as I installed the 15 seconds adb installer.
There's something wrong with my main computer. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver - it just doesn't work - every time the device is recognized as mtp usb device.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Erase every adb and fastboot folder you have and download android SDK and reinstall platform tools

You could try using the adb minimal with fastboot at the xda link below. It was updated on 10-22-16 this is what I use.

[Q] adb devices (via USB) shows as offline

New device. Odin works, USB storage works, TCP adb works, charging works. Have the latest drivers, which worked fine on the previous device (new device is a closed box warranty replacement). Device shows up in adb devices as "device", but adb freezes when attempting to push or shell. On super rare occasion, I get a shell prompt, but adb freezes immediately. Oftentimes, it shows up as "offline" instead. Have tested numerous cables, numerous USB ports. Reinstalled drivers, reflashed device in odin, reinstalled adb, redownloaded oneclick. Nothing works. Already went through other threads covering the same topic for numerous other devices. What am I overlooking?
Oneclick does not work anymore, not for Gingerbread. Other than that....try and let Windows find and install the drivers from Windows Update.

Meant the tweaked adb in oneclick. I tried to remove the drivers, and let windows search through update, but still no dice. The phone shows up in device manager, is recognized by odin for download mode, and windows as a storage device. However, adb still won't recognize it other than in an offline state.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but you have USB debugging on right?

Launch ddms.bat from \android-sdk-windows\tools
See if the DDMS application recognizes the device there. If not, then you need to enable USB-debugging and/or try different USB ports (but you said you did the latter already). I found that I must use USB ports directly attached to the motherboard for doing anything with my phone.
@kenny: Yup, USB debugging is enabled.
@nikon120: There's no tool dir, but there is platform-tools. There's no ddms in it.

Hmm, then I gather you don't have the SDK installed. I was just on SDK revision 10 and the folder was there. I also just uninstalled revision 10 and my older JDK installation to do a fresh install of the latest JDK and Android SDK. The tools folder is in this latest install too.
If odin works, just odin cwm 5.0.2.7, then flash su.zip which roots you.

My apologies. "tools" was marked as hidden, and not showing during "dir" in command prompt. I did locate and launch ddms.bat. It shows the device as online, but unresponsive. If I close it, and kill-server, and relaunch, it shows the device as offline.
xboxfanj, I already have CWM flashed, and the device rooted, via Odin. What I'm trying to do is use shell/push.

That's why I inquired whether or not DDMS was recognizing your phone or not. Your reply was that it showed as offline, and that is a good indication as to why adb isn't working for you.
Outside of the phone not having USB debugging enabled, the only other reason I can think of your cause is device drivers for the phone. You said you've already reinstalled the phone drivers and no difference, so you may want to try on another computer or maybe a virtual machine.
1)Unplug the usb and plug it back again.
2)Go to the Settings -> Applications -> Development of your device and uncheck the USB debugging mode and then check it again back!
3)Restart the adb on your PC. adb kill-server and then adb start-server
4)Restart your device and try again.

[Q] ADB not recognizing device

Hi All:
I have the 16GB N7 (2013) with USB debugging enabled. I plug into my Windows 7 box via USB 2.0, and it successfully appears in my device manager as 'Google Nexus ADB Interface'. I just downloaded the current Android SDK, however when I run 'ADB devices' in the command prompt, ADB does not recognize any devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Did you try if it would recognize your device in fastboot bootloader?
Go into I believe its called SDK manager and make sure USB or Google drivers update is checked and then click Install as this will install all drivers needed. But prior to that uninstall any drivers in device manager for your nexus 7 . it should pick it up right away after everything installs! Good luck

Thank you for the suggestion, highwaybandit. I tried your idea, but still have the same issue with ADB not recognizing the device, despite the device showing up successfully in Windows device manager.
I have the same problem with Ubuntu. I tried "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing. Unlocked fine with fastboot tho.

mickrg123, I forgot to mention: I've been getting around this issue by using Google Drive. Not as fast as moving files directly, but still a decent workaround until we get this figured out.

If you have USB debugging enabled, the USB IDs change and for some reason windows can't find the MTP drivers for the device.
If you turn off USB debugging, then the phone shows up as an MTP device (ie it shows up as Nexus 7, not a drive letter)
If you want it to show up as a drive letter, you probably need to root and enable USB mass storage, otherwise it will behave as an MTP device (ie it behaves more like an FTP server than a USB hard drive)
If you have USB debugging disabled and it still won't show up on your computer in MTP mode (ie labeled Nexus 7), then you probably have some problem with MTP on your PC.

Generally, if it doesn't show up at all with adb devices, then it is probably driver problem, cable problem, port problem, or USB debugging didn't properly get enabled. Although since you say it shows up in device manger, it would seem to show that USB debugging was enabled, so you might want to look at driver, cable, or USB port issues (try USB 2.0 port if you are currently using USB 3.0). You can get updated drivers here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
You can force windows to update driver by right clicking on the adb device entry and going through the tabs until you find the update driver button.
If it shows up but says device offline, then it is probably the RSA security introduced into adb/android since 4.2.2 (in which case you should update your platform-tools to 16.0.1 or greater)
Also when I check box to load camera it will show as drive

If you have USB debugging enabled, then my experience is Media device (MTP) mode won't be recognized because it can't find appropriate drivers (even though you have the MTP drivers installed) but Camera (PTP) mode will still work. I don't think you really mean it shows up as a "drive" as in mass storage device. I think you mean you see a folder where you can access your files.
If you disable USB debugging, than both MTP and PTP should work.

Yes you're correct shows as a device not drive when in camera ptp, but not when mtp checked. Where do you disable mass storage?

Sorry, I meant disable USB Debugging, not mass storage (I'll correct the post)
I'm sure you know where, but if not, Settings->Developer options->USB debugging
If MTP still doesn't work, then see if you have ever gotten MTP to work on the PC (ie another device in MTP mode). If not, look up how to install/reinstall MTP support for your OS version. Windows added it as part of user driver framework and one of the new versions of media player.

If your goal is just to load files onto the sdcard, have you tried "adb push"?
You don't need to have the phone visible as a device/folder on the computer to use adb to place files on the tablet.
Im having trouble with mine also. Adb sees it when its in normal mode. When I go to bootloader, it is not seen. When i go to unlock, it just says waiting for device. Any ideas???? Updated SDK installed

For me, when I rebooted the phone into bootloader mode, it came up with a new USB device "Android Bootloader Interface". I had to point the driver install at the Google USB drivers I had previously used for the ADB interface so that the Bootloader Interface could be recognized.

[Q] Cannot Unlock Bootloader on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I cannot get the bootloader unlock working on my Win 8.1 laptop by any means. If I try through hasoon2000's toolkit, I get the error that the ADB server did not ACK (whatever that means). If I try using the command line and HTC's official method of getting the TokenID, I get a message that a certain ADB-related dll is not installed. I have installed the USB drivers that come with hasoon2000's toolkit about 4 times now. I installed the Android SDK and even Samsung USB drivers. I'm going to uninstall everything, can someone walk me through the step-by-step to get things working? I've read that USB 3.0 is the problem, but I only have USB 3.0 ports on my laptop.

Use another computer if you can.
I had similar problems until I used this version of adb
http://www.mediafire.com/download/e5mieo2vxjd71ws/android-tools.zip
Run everything from the downloaded folder.
First of all ensure you have USB DEBUGGING enabled in DEVELOPER OPTIONS in the phone settings.
Open the downloaded folder then right click inside the folder while holding shift then choose 'Open command Windows here'
Plug in the phone using the original HTC usb cable then in the command window type ADB DEVICES. The response should be a device comprised of letters and numbers.
If you don't see any device attached try swapping the cable to another usb port. If you see your device attached then follow the unlock instructions at HTCDEV as its the most reliable way.
If still no device then it could be a usb driver problem. You should here a ding when you plug your phone in.
Make sure the Unlock_code.bin is in the above folder when unlocking.

That version of ADB didn't work for me either. Anyway I was able to get fastboot to work but not ADB so I was able to unlock and root and everything through a strange method using only fastboot.
Second question, if I am switching between AOSP roms, say for example CM to PA, can I dirty flash or do I have to reset?
ADB does not work with USB 3.0 ports yet on Windows 8 or 8.1. You have to use it on a USB 2.0 port. I have had best results with Windows 7. Fastboot, however, works just fine on 8.1 and 8

Not so, I and others have ADB working fine on USB 3.0 ports.
The problem is Windows 8 driver signing enforcement blocking the install of drivers. You need to go to advanced startup options to disable it.
Download these drivers first and extract: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i3lcm7dwl581518/ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81.zip
Follow these instructions to disable driver signing enforcement: http://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/...gnature-enforcement-in-windows-8-and-8.1.html
Once fully booted go into device manager and you should see a device called 'Android 1.0' with an exclamation mark.
Right click 'Android 1.0' then 'update driver software' then 'Browse my computer for driver software'
Click the 'Browse' button and then browse to the driver folder 'ADB_Fastboot_Drivers_Win81' extracted earlier then click next to install the driver.
You will get a warning about unsigned drivers, just ignore and continue.
The drivers should install and you should see a new entry in device manager called 'Android phone' which means the ADB driver is installed.
ADB should now be working.
Thank you so much for this. Have been wondering for a very long time

It sounds like you've got plenty of technical help already, but I will say that I use ADB perfectly fine on my desktop with Win 8.1 so it's possible. I also use hassoon's toolkit occasionally with no issue.
Before I could get the desktop to recognize the M8 I had to completely uninstall all drivers related to my previous galaxy nexus as well as remove any mention of the device in Window's USBdeview. After a reboot, I just plugged in the M8 and windows automatically installed the necessary M8 drivers. I can then run fastboot and adb from the toolkit.
I ended up uninstalling the MSFT USB 3.0 drivers and use the Intel USB 3.0 drivers instead on my Win8.1 laptop that has only USB 3.0 ports. Works great.

Can't get Fastboot to work

Ok. I can't get fastboot to work. WIndows 10 laptop. Disabled driver verification. ADB works fine and reboots into bootloader but once in bootloader no fastboot. I've got an "Unknown Device" in Other Devices in Device manager and I've tried to assign the google driver manually but it's not recognized as a driver for the device
I've removed and reinstalled drivers pre and post driver verification
I tried adding PIxel C lines to the driver INF file as instructed on stack overflow
I don't know what else to try. And i've tried on two different computers???
Help please.. thanks
I fought with this for ages today. To start with, I have the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit installed. Now, when in bootloader, go to the device manager on your computer. Find the Pixel ("Unknown Device") and right click > Properties > Driver tab > Update Drivers > Browse Computer > Choose From List > WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data\Drivers > and pick the one that says something about the bootloader. Sorry, going off memory here. Now you should be able to get that one installed, and Fastboot will start showing up when in the bootloader.

That's OK. No problem. Did you try the steps in post #5 above?
Which operating system are you on? What worked for me on Windows 10 was to give up after several days and use a Windows 7 computer. I read everything and tried everything and I could not get Fastboot working on this device with Windows 10. I used every toolkit, every driver version, toolkits that install multiple driver versions, Minimal ADB + Fastboot, and who knows what else. If a well-documented end-to-end solution to this ever appears I'll be really grateful.
FWIW, it was my frustrations with this Windows driver nonsense, that eventually drove me to abandon Windows entirely. Been on Ubuntu for several years. No regrets.

It's very annoying, there seems to be a few reasons it fails. Cable, 3.0 usb ports, windows 10 drivers. I get different results with different cables in different types of usb ports. Also switching to PTP seems to work using a usb 2.0 port with a standard usb 2.0 A to micro with a micro to c adapter. Charging and MTP fail, but at least ADB and Fastboot respond.
I am going to try to edit the win10 driver using this post as reference.

I came to the same conclusion, but after a reboot it was unrecognized again.
Only way I can it to stick is installing the 2nd option drivers via skipsoft toolkit. Connect pixel c via 2.0 port and cable to PC. Switch to ptp. Then manually force install driver choosing have disk using bootloader option. From then on it works using ptp.
What I am able to see using USB Device Tree Viewer, is that when I plug in my Pixel C to my ASUS Z97-A blue usb ports with USB debugging enabled, it can not identify it. Those ports use Microsoft Windows 10 drivers for the Intel USB 3.0 eXensible Host Controller - 1.0. Which is what is causing the failure, not the Pixel C drivers. When I updated my other green USB ports driver, windows used the same ones on my ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller and also couldn't recognize the Pixel C any longer. I rolled back to ASMedia drivers, it worked fine. Updated using newer ASMedia drivers 4/11/2016 ver 1.16.35.1 and those work fine. Now to find working drivers for the Inter Host. Win7 drivers refuse to load.
UPDATE: If your bios allows, disable xHCI. Your USB ports will work as USB 2.0 but will detect your PIXEL C without issues.
Solution works 100%
If you've installed the SDK drivers and win10 can detect your Pixel C in every mode with usb debugging off. Use these win10 USB xHCi drivers,

USB drivers for Mi 5s

I would like to connect ADB to my Mi 5s, but I don't know where to get USB drivers that are safe for download/install?
I need Windows 10 x64 drivers if possible...
Any pointers?
This tool should contain all needed drivers:
http://en.miui.com/thread-281979-1-1.html
Alternatively, if you use the full Android SDK it also contains the needed drivers (open SDK Manager.exe -> Extras -> Google USB Drivers).
I have the SDK installed and could connect with ADB while the mobile was normally running (and Debugging enabled in MIUI) and also while I was in fastboot.
This on Windows 10 x64.

This link seems to be for the Mi5 and not for the Mi5S? Doesn't that matter?
Otherwise I'm using Minimal ADB and Fastboot which is working with Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus mobile phone. But if I try and connect Mi5S and start ADB Deamon running adb devices doesn't return anything.
Got it working. Thanks.
As far as I understood it, Miflash supports all Qualcomm based Xiaomi devices.
You have enabled ADB Debugging on the 5s? It's disabled by default. You have to enable first the developer options and then you can enable it. Here is the latest version of Miflash: http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash but the site is down for me at the moment.
Do you see the Mi5s in Device Manager under USB Devices when it's connected?
I haven't installed Miflash, only the full Android SDK and it was automatically detected.
Here an alternative manual: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=409951&pid=7620087
Please note, you don't actually need EDL, but it nicely outlines possible driver issues and fixes.
