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 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.

Try doing this    Unplug the device Execute adb kill-server  amp  amp  adb start-server that restarts adb   Re-plug the device   Also you can try to edit an adb config file  android adb usb ini and add a line 04e8 after the header  Restart adb required for changes to take effect

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 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

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
