After following some of the steps in other answers here  as well as what is found here  ADB Driver for HTC Incredible  I had to issue two commands before my phone would show up   adb kill-server adb start-server   Finally  after those two commands would my device show up when I ran  adb devices   From time to time  the ADB process may get stuck  technical term there    When that happens  the above commands will not work   I have found that killing the ADB process  look in for adb exe in the Processes tab in Task Manager on Windows  or kill the PID for adb under linux   and then use  adb start-server   generally fixes that problem

I had the same problem and solved this way  my phone is a SonyEricsson Xperia X8 and wasn t recognized by windows 7  but it was by Ubuntu   Hence I figured out it was a driver problem   0  Pluged in my smartphone 1  Right clicked on Computer- Manage- Device Manager 2  There was a yellow exclamation mark on one item named something like  SEMC HUSB     Double clicked on that item  that was actually related to the smarphone  and updated the drivers  previously downloaded from this page http   developer sonymobile com downloads drivers sony-ericsson-x8-drivers  and now everything works   I guess that you can find your proper dirvers via google if you have a different phone   Cheers

Another alternative  on modern Apple iMac s  the USB port closest to the outside edge of the machine never works with ADB  whereas all others work fine  I ve seen this on two different iMacs  possibly those are USB 1 0 ports  or something equally stupid  - or it s a general manufacturing defect   Plugging USB cables  new  old  high quality or cheap  into all other USB ports works fine  but plugging into that one fails ADB  NB  plugging into that port works for file-transfer  etc - it s only ADB that breaks

If you select Android Application in the Debug As dialog  you should be able to attach the debugger to the device directly  Make sure you run adb devices on your shell and see your device listed  If not  you will need to re-install the driver for the device  You can uninstall the drivers you have using USBdeview and then download and re-install the drivers until you see the serial number for the device listed when you run adb devices  - Arunabh Das
