ADB not showing up??

Sorry guys, I am new here and am having a problem getting ubuntu to work on my NC. I am trying to get it to boot using adb but it will not show up on my PC. I have tried 3 different PCs (2 win7 64bit and 1 vista 32bit), installed the nook drivers but it will never show up in the command prompt. I have tried enabling and disabling development mode and I disabled USB mount. I don't know what else to try. I am on 1.1.0 of the system software if that matters. I got ubuntu to work once using terminal emulator but am having problems getting the script to work. But my main objective is getting adb to see my nook. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I dont follow you very well, what's your problem? Your PC doesn't see NC or something else?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

ADB does not see it is what I'm saying. I will say that I am not using the stock USB cable that came with the nook as I don't have that cable anymore. Could it be that the cable I'm using doesn't work properly? It see's everything fine when I tell it to mount the SD card. I just using a froyo card in it and adb saw it although it said offline. Could the cable be a reason why it wouldn't work?

It's possible, but not likely as I am using diiferent cable for communication between PC and NC all the time... My original is connected to a charger from the purchase of NC...

did you install the right drivers for it? It depends which OS flavor you have on your nook. Honeycomb uses different drivers vs Froyo

I'm having the same issues. I'm on a Windows 7 Box and I can not see the NC.
In Device Drivers under <Other> I find the NC but the driver is invalid. I have DL'ed the Android SDK with the USB drivers and I have tried pointing to the driver manualy. No Joy.
Any Help would be greatly apreciated.

have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751 ...run the .bat and follow it's instructions.
Also: it's very important that you reboot your Nook at least once after your first OS installation.

[Q] ADB Problems installing on W7x64 (Composite Driver wont show)

HI,
I've had success installing my other android devices on my windows 7 x64 computer, have even used my (ADB) Nook Colour on a windows 7 32Bit laptop fine.
Problem: Android Composite ADB Driver wont install/ isn't found, Device is Auto Nootered on 1.1 using rooted stock firmware.
Tried:
I have the .android folder in my user profile dir with the device ID in it
Followed various wikis and guides (that worked for the 32Bit version)
Watched the driver load/unload in device manager as I tick 'Development Mode (enable ADB)'
Tried various driver packs from here and googles latest offering, still only matches up with Android ADB Driver not the Composite (wont even show me the composite one)
Wireless ADB works and is disabled, worried about installing CWM using wireless for some reason USB feels safer to me
Thinks I noticed:
Hardware ID is listed as USB\VID_2080&PID_0002 which matchs up with %SingleAdbInterface% in the ini file for the driver, composite aka %CompositeAdbInterface% has &MI_01 on the end. Not sure if that means its not getting the right hardware ID from the device when ADB/ Development mode is enabled of if having the wrong driver loaded on it shows up the wrong Hardware ID.
Things I havent tried, enabling ADB on the Nook using sqlite3 method, but if it works on another coputer didn't think it would be a good idea.
Plan:
Install CWM, flash CM7 or similar to device.

I had the same issues with Windows 7 64-bit and never got it working. Worked fine on my WinXP laptop at work though. If you find a solution I would be happy to hear it, but to be honest I have found I haven't really needed ADB much if at all.

Same here!

This one is weird...
I'm on win7x64 and I *have* got adb to work at times. When I was first rooting my new NC (1.1.0), I fiddled with it and I had it running over usb fine. But now, when I plug in the usb and I either get that the device is unrecognized or it goes into usb sync mode. Haven't quite figured that out...
But, ultimately, I just use adb wireless for any adb stuff, although it's "not recommended". It's worked perfect for me all along.

Glad to help. What do you mean USB Auto Mount? I kind of thought that should happen?
My goal for getting adb working was to get su, which i got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110 with a bit of trouble but seems to work, so that i could drag items from my pc onto HC. I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456 to mount the media directory. I now seem to have su installed and the USM app is working. i only see my BN media directory from my pc now (yay) but i can't browse that directory from my nook HC (boo). So i can't share files between eggclair and HC. I'm a noob to nook and newbe to linux, so i'm assuming it is a permissions issue but don't have enough knowledge on how to change them yet.
I've installed DropBox but it keeps asking for an SD card, which isn't a big issue, just i haven't found the time to go buy one. Is there a way to use db without an SD card?

unfortunately no, db requires external storage. if you opened the apk to recode its default directory maybe but im not sure its possible
usb auto mount I can disable in nook tools but its a persistant system that defaults every reboot, I dont like to see it popup while using the nook when I plug it in just one of many peeves

Things I noticed:
In the Driver ini it states &MI_01 means composite driver is installed.
Under Hardware ID I only get :
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&REV_0216
USB\VID_2080&PID_0002
This leads me to believe that even though the box is ticked on my nootered Nook that its not really enabling ADB on the device (then maybe it would show &MI_01 as needed?)
Going to flash a new firmware.... maybe Froyo and see if it comes up right after that.

I thought that as well and flashed back to the EC 1.0.1, sideloaded 1.1 update and repartitioned, used cw to add HC back and all that, and still had the same issue. Came down to the ini file not having a NookColor section.
Did you check the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987409

I'm no stranger to drivers, I could force it to use the driver by changing the ini files but it still wouldn't appear in ADB Devices.
Flashed Nooky FroYo and now the device driver states the hardware ID has the missing '&MI_01' which means the composite driver works out of the box.

I used IOMonsters Easy USB installer and it seems to have installed the drivers for Windows 7 64Bit Fine
After running the install .exe I also had to execute the Inst64.exe

[Q] ICS connect to computer?

So incredibly stupid question, and not even sure how to search for it to get an answer... but I want to connect my touchpad to my computer like I used to with CM7 and transfer files over. Normally when I connected it in the past I'd get a little notification telling me I can turn on usb storage or whatever... that doesn't show up now with CM9... what do I do?

If you read the wiki, it doesnt work with cm9 yet. Boot into recovery, go to Mounts and Storage, then go down to Mount USB Storage.

Try using Wifi File manager apps.
I use the Wifi File Explorer Pro do transfer files from my PC to android devices. No physical connection is needed since it's done through wifi.
Install this app (or others. They seem to work very similarly) and launch the app on the device. Leave it running so if you have a lot of files, you might want to keep it plugged into a charger.
The apps will give you an IP address.
Go to your PC and launch a web browser. Type in the address the app gave you. You are now connected. Go to the folder you need to add files to and search your PC for files to transfer. Done...

What I'm told you are supposed to do is to open /Settings/Developer Options and uncheck Android debugging. Then when you connect to a Windows computer, it will see the TP as an MTP device.
Unfortunately, I've yet to get this to work. I've tried a couple of Win7 boxes and both see the TP as an MTP device and try to load drivers for it. But after a couple of minutes trying, it pops up an error message saying if failed to load the drivers. On an XP box the only option you get when you plug in the TP are to use either Media Center or Winamp, both of which seem to look only for "media" files.
The only way I've found to transfer files directly to/from the TP is to reboot and choose Clockwork Mod from the boot menu and then /mounts and storage/mount USB storage. Then your TP appears as a regular USB hdd on whatever computer you connect.
I've tried to google for MTP support but the only things I've found relate to connecting Digital Cameras.

Okay so no offense but you all have it wrong. I can see my CM9 Alpha 2 in my Windows 7 desktop machine just fine. You need to do the following:
1) Go into Settings
2) Click on the Storage
3) Up in the right top corner of your TouchPad screen you see 3 boxes, click (touch) that.
4) Then click (touch) USB computer connection that pops up
5) Now make sure the box labeled Media device (MTP) is checked
DONE! You should be able to connect your TouchPad booted into CM9 Alpha 2 and transfer files over to it just fine. Mine comes up as cm_tenderloin on my Windows 7 64-bit if I recall correctly!
I hope this helps and I hope it works! Let me know!

The same way you'd find any other file on the TP. Use a File Manager such as Root Explorer.

I'll have to try this MTP option. I've just been using the wifi file browsers like Airdroid or booting into WebOS for file transfer. Thanks.

[Q] ADB Not Working

Hi all. I'm trying to get ADB to work. I installed SDK x86. However, I have a 64bit system. Someone told me the x86 works better. The tf701t connects fine to view files, but when I turn on usb debugging, it plays the sound like it didnt detect properly. Also, in device manager, I have the yellow ! triangle next to K00C and base system device. Any suggestions?

If you are talking about windows, Isnt it a MTP driver issue usually? I thought you had to reinstall that. I wouldnt expect that the x86 version is going to be better. Maybe it is! Either way its a mess. You could try linux on a stick. Its easy!

Im not sure if you can use it for production off the stick, but you can put it on a usb stick and try them without harming you system. Then install it if you like it and possibly dual boot it if you like it.

[SOLVED] I have a questions about file transfers

I am running Pure Nexus now and am rooted (obviously). Before I was previously on a OnePlus running a Stock Cyanogen. I was rooted also on my OPO. on the OPO I was able to browse my file system when plugged into my PC. On the Nexus I can only transfer pic/videos and if I want to push/pull.
Is there something different between the 2 phones/ROM's?
Thanks
EDIT: Update. Turns out the issue is just on my laptop, it works fine on my PC.
So, why would this be?

is there something different between the two phones/roms? well yes, they are two completely different devices, and the two roms are completely different as well. only similarity is that the roms are both versions of android.

Sounds like the captain obvious response I wasn't looking for. Is there something about these 2 phones that makes me not able to browse my root file system or at minimum, my SDcard?

Seems to be a driver issue. Do you have the same drivers installed on both PCs?

Assuming you have laptop and PC with windows.
In the device manager you should see two things
A. an Android device driver
B. a storage device called Nexus 6;
When A. or B. is missing or you see a triangle with '!' , there is an issue with a device driver.
You need to install the missing driver.

I merely plugged the Nexus into the PC (the one that recognizes it) and it worked fine. It is possible there are Google drivers installed from past devices. But the laptop doesn't have any errors in the device manager and sideloads and pushes files fine.

This is my issue. My PC I only see the Nexus storage device (that's the one that I can see my internal storage)
and my laptop I only see Android ADB device.
Edit: I am getting neither on my work laptop. Updated. I will use this same method when i get home. I needed to add the MTP storage device driver.
No triangles on either though.

Is there a possibility that your Laptop does not have permission to install drivers ?
An adb-driver is not enough for accessing internal storage.
If you have permission to install drivers, you could try to change to adb-driver to an 'adb combined' driver.

Yes. The MTP driver is a separate driver. Can usually just search for it in device manager>device>update drivers.
