Adb Devices can t find my phone

Question

I am trying to get adb to see my Samsung Fascinate phone so that I can install my Android apps via usb to the phone  I am using osx 10 6 7    When I run  adb devices  it does not list my device and  adb usb  says  device not found     USB debugging is enabled and I have tried connecting in storage mode as well as media mode  When I am in storage mode I can see the phone s drive in Finder so I know that the usb connection works  however adb still can t find it    I read that for Mac there are no usb drivers  that it s just supposed to work  but this doesn t seem to be the case   Any suggestions

I have a Samsung Galaxy and I had the same issue as you. Here's how to fix it:

In device manager on your Windows PC, even though it might say the USB drivers are installed correctly, there may exist corruption.

I went into device manager and uninstalled SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device and made sure to check the box 'delete driver software'. Now the device will have an exclamation mark etc. I right clicked and installed the driver again (refresh copy). This finally made adb acknowledge my phone as an emulator.

As others noted, for Nexus 4, you can also try this fix.

I just spent half a day trying to connect my various Android devices to my MacBook Pro  running 10 8 2    It turns out to have been a Micro USB cable problem   I have many Micro USB cables  but only the one that came packaged with my Galaxy Nexus works to connect the phones to my computer   I don t know if this is due to damage  or some proprietary manufacturing  but please remember to try connecting the phone with the cable that was packaged with it

I did the following to get my Mac to see the devices again    Run android update adb Run adb kill-server Run adb start-server   At this point  calling adb devices started returning devices again  Now run or debug your project to test it on your device

I have a Fascinate as well  and had to change the phone s USB communication mode from MODEM to PDA   Use      enter   USBUI    87284     to change both USB and UART to PDA mode   I also had to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable   Once Windows re-recognized the device again   adb devices  started returning my device     BTW if you use CDMA workshop or the equivalent  you will need to switch the setting back to MODEM
