you have to make sure USB debugging is on inside Settings | Applications | Development

Edit: hehehe ^^^ what he said.
Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (check)

did you try typing
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>
?

yes hundreds of times. when i enter it and i plug into computer nothing happens. nothing pops up on vista. is there a way to maybe delete a driver for android I maybe installed already?
its that my pc isnt detecting my g1. it says no device detected. PLEASE HELP.
idk maybe I need a way to usb debug without activating?

i think its something with my driver. i might have installed it long ago? idk. any way to uninstall and reinstall?

If you have Windows Vista or 7 you can right click my comptuer > Manage > Device Manager (or just call up device manager in xp) and look for ADB Interface.
Right Click HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface and click Uninstall.
Unplug and replug the USB and it should re-detect.

nevermind me =)

Same problems
I am having the same problems as "samrozzi".
Phone is OK with Reboot command.
Will not recognize "Setprop Persist etc".
My device manager shows (HTC Android Phone USB Device) in "Disk Drives" but nothing about ADB interface.
Also you guys are saying
"Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging (check)
Settings where? On the phone? not possible without getting past the registration screen.
In SDK ?
In ADB ?
On Computer somewhere ?
I have un-installed the driver for the phone. I reconnect and turn the phone on. The computer says HTC Google phone--hardware is installed and ready to use. Then it goes away and doesn't seem to be of any further use.
Please help, my brain is starting to sizzle from info-overload.

did you install the driver

USBDeview
Try this:
- get USBDeview : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
- unplug phone from PC
- in USBDeview delete all drivers that have anything to do with HTC
- plug phone in PC; drivers should now install correctly IF you have downloaded and installed them before
If the above procedure does not work reinstall drivers (from SDK) and start all over.

Usb Driver Problems

Ok. Right now I'm trying to root my nexus. I'm stuck at installing the usb driver. I tried following this tutorial /showthread.php?t=613217 but every time i choose the driver and it searches it tells me it "couldn't find a better match for my hardware" and the driver doesn't install. I've tried 2 different computers, a macbook pro dual booted with Win XP media center Sp 2 and a dell XP media center Sp 3. No luck with either of them. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? its getting really anoying

I'm having the same issue myself i think.
Look under N1 Q&A and find the topic "N1 Bricked"
Glad to know im not the only one

I have a iMac and I never even had to worry about drivers.
Just download/install/setup the Android SDK and the rest is automatic.
I have a tutorial called ADB 4 Dummies that will walk you through installing the android sdk 2.2(froyo) and setting up your environments. Step by step for every system.
First thing, unplug your Phone from computer, uninstall ALL drivers and try from scratch.
Also, if you're using windows, when you're done and you plug in your phone, don't choose to "automatically find drivers" instead manually point it to the drivers folder in the SDK.
Don't worry, it's not bricked. lol.

Hmmmm....
There are 2 modes to the bootloader HBOOT and Fastboot.
Make sure you're phone is in fastboot mode... it should say FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red on top. If it doesn't, use the volume down key, select Fastboot and hit the power button once to switch the phone to fastboot.
Remember, "adb devices" works while your phone is turned on regular. If your phone is in Fastboot mode use "fastboot devices"
Ok, are you using windows? If you are;
Turn off your phone and boot it back up in Bootloader mode. (trackball+pwr, or volume down+pwr)
Once it's on bootloader, plug it in to the computer.
See if the computer asks for any drivers, etc. If it does point it to the Drivers folder in the SDK. If it doesn't... go into your Device Manager. (Right click on MY COMPUTER, click on MANAGE and when computer management opens up, go to Device manager from the list on the left). Look to see if there are any icons with an Exclamation mark and yellow background. If there is, right click on it, select update driver and point it to the drivers folder in the sdk.
Basically there should be a menu on top that says "Android Phone" and when you expand that selection you'll see "Android Bootloader Interface".

nope, no luck with that either, I tried it both on windows XP and windows 7. same error each time. Could it be a problem with my device? because Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the nexus as a storage device or anything

Damn. I think i'm out of options. Last thing to try:
- Turn on phone regular.
- Plug in through USB to computer (try a different USB cable, even if that one worked with the CLIQ, try a different USB port also.)
- On Phone: GO to settings, Application Settings, Development, USB Debugging, (if it's checked on, check it off then on again) make sure it's ON.
Go into your Android SDK folder, go into the TOOLS folder. Now click on DDMS. See if it lists your device...
Last thing would be to go back through the Device Manager, and click on SCAN HARDWARE while your phone is plugged in... It has to be on that list somewhere, whether it's a bad driver, etc, it should still appear in your device manager somehow.

alright that didnt work, but, i got it, i just kept unplugging and plugging back in my phone until adb recognized it. then i got fastboot to run and now i have superuser . But now im stuck at another point. I'm trying to do the recovery.img file. I tried in mobile terminal "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it told me something like "flash_image not found" I saw that i could do this via fast boot but i dont know how to do that. how would i do fastboot on Mac?

http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/6-upgrade-nexus-one-recovery

when i try to do the fastboot command i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found" i dont think i have fastboot set up right

have you tried typing in "./" before the command? I found that that was one of my mistakes I did when I first rooted my phone

tried that, entered "./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img" and i just get "waiting for device"

I believe you can also try "./fastboot-mac flash recovery ./recovery.img"

Alright I flashed a clockwork recovery through the app manager in the market. Is there any way I can apply the other recovery with an update.zip?
Also, thanks so much for all the help guys!!!!!!!!!!

you can do it through terminal emulator, if you go to amonra's recovery thread he tells you how.
this is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829

fastboot somtimes doesn't come in the SDK... download the version for your system from here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/tutorials/nexus-one/5-unlock-nexus-one-bootloader
place it in your androidsdk/tools folder

Nexus not recognized by ADB

SO recently got a nexus one and for some reason i cant get it to be recognized by adb, i have tried everything, updating drivers, reinstalling adb, trying diferent usb cables, different usb ports, but for some reason no matter what i try adb doesnt recognize any device. it recognizes my atrix just fine, but not the nexus. and the nexus is also rooted and has cwm but somehow the bootloader says ship s-on. it all seems prtty wierd. any ideas?

I had the same problem once. ADB recognized other devices I had but not the N1.
The driver from this thread got it working for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't control whether the secuflag is on or off. If you Nexus One cannot be found by adb, check if you really have working abd drivers. Use this tool to see what usb drivers are installed and delete everything related to the Nexus One and let them reinstall:
http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html
If that doesn't work, plug your N1 to your pc for the last time, then press Windows key + r so the "run" box shows up. Type in devmgmt.msc (device management) and press enter. See if something called "android phone" has a yellow triangle. Download and unzip the attached archive. Right click this "android phone" and choose to update its drivers. Locate to the folder you just unzipped and then let the drivers install.
Now it should work just fine. Cheers.

USB debugging is ON, right...?
but thats probably not the problem.
driver issue, most likely. try installing sdk here
"The Google USB driver is a downloadable component for the Android SDK, available from the SDK Manager"

as i told the other 2, it is not a driver issue, it turns out the guy i got it from had work done on it before it was shipped, thinking something internal is the issue

ADB logcat setup, etc.

I've Google'd the topic and all the comes up are my own post in the Dev sections where I asked how to create/get a logcat. I can "adb logcat" to a text file, then it shows "waiting for device". Now what's the procedure or setup on the S7 end? I've turned On adb debugging options in the S7. Can/ls this done by USB? The "adb devices" command while plugged into the USB shows nothing. I can connect in Fastboot mode and "adb devices" shows nothing also. Or is more of the Android SDK package needed for this?

Download and extract, boot up device, make sure ADB is turned on device, then plug it into the computer, go to My Computer > Manage > Device Management, you should see something pop up with a yellow triangle, install the driver, it will ask you for the location point it to where you extracted the download at.

Yep, that's a link to the page but where's a link to actual file download? I think the third comment on the page mentions this.
If I'm not missing the driver files, I wonder if it might be that I NVflashed CM10 again but didn't allow it to reboot before restoring a TWRP backup?

All the old links to files have been changed since the DNS problems but I found a link to the old files at StreakDroid and the DNS issued is fixed. Download, unzipped, nothing looks any different to what I already have. I still tried the package anyway and it still can't find it's driver. Next I'm going to NVflash CM10 again and let it boot up fully and try it then before restoring my TWRP backup.

I had the same problem the other day when i flashed mine to CM10.
In the end the procedure which worked for me was to unplug the usb cable from my laptop.
Press the small button to hard power off the device.
Boot the device to CM10 again.
Plug the device in to a different USB port.
Then i went in to device manager and found a "dell" device which i right clicked then update drivers and pointed to the folder where i had the adb drivers downloaded to. It found them and installed the devices as an adbx device.
Then i unplugged from usb again and plugged it back in. At this point i ran the logcat command and it started logging.

I tried exactly as you outlined and it still didn't find the needed drivers. Funny as it shows a "B10B" as the unknown device and in the two WIN32 INF files that is a Dell parameter ID.
I may try my TWRP backup to ICS-B4 again before I NVflash again sometime today.
EDIT:
Restored my TWRP ICS-B4 backup but it can't find its drivers either and I tried swapping ports also. One thing though, instead of "B10B" showing up in "Other Devices", I get "Android". An NVflash is next, maybe a TWRP backup breaks ADB??

It works just fine.

I'm stumped!

Got it! I had use the pick device option route which led to Android to ADB Interface or ADB Composite Interface. I selected the non-composite option, used those same files again and it installed the proper drivers. I have no idea and don't really care. What a PITA!

[Q] Phone won't connect via ADB

Hi all.
I'm trying to S-Off my HTC first, but I can't get the phone to connect to ADB while in debug mode. It connects to ADB fine while in recovery mode, but apparently it needs to be in debug mode for moonshine to work. The phone is unlocked and rooted and I installed the HTC drivers. In the device manager it comes up as an Android device in recovery mode, but as a portable storage device in debug mode.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

No, not unless the phone is in recovery mode. Fastboot works as well. However when the phone is on and in debug mode I get nothing.

Hmmm sounds like what happened to me once it was a frustrating situation but all that was needed was an update to the ADB drivers for the device. Sadly I'm away from my computer right now so it'll be a while until I can actually whip something up to help you, sorry

Try to force ADB to redetect with adb kill-server.

NOTE THAT YOUR PHONE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED DURING THIS PROCESS
I already searched & set up the update folder so you don't have to do all the dirty work d:\
Ok Well I'm just going to make this quick and not really got through the basics like how to unzip things because if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be trying to get s-off on your phone anyway so I'll just assume you already know how.
Step 1. open control panel select hardware and sound and open Device Manager with the administrative logo one the side.
Step 2. Near the top or somewhere on this list there's supposed to be a drop down that reads "adb devices, adb android, adb, android, adb drivers etc. Mine shows Android USB Devices it actually just varies based on computer I can't really go to the specifics of it but I'm sure you can find it.
Step 3. Select that dropdown menu and right click whatever shows (there should only be one thing) and then select Update Driver Software and choose the option that says Browse my computer for driver software and locate the htc drivers folder which should already be unzipped, select the whole folder and have the option to include subfolders checked. click next or whatever it says to finish
Step 3 Now you must remove your device from the Portable Devices dropdown menu to ensure all drivers are detected for the phone, to do this right click on HTC First and just select remove, wait until it's done. and now just reconnect your device and let all the drivers install and it should now be done!
Make sure you look at the screenshots I attached to make sure you don't accidentally remove or update something else also because that's where the drivers folder is an i'm pretty sure you'll need that
A reboot of the computer is recommended btw
Ask questions if you have any

Wow, that's quite explanatory, thank you! Unfortunately I only see the category ADB Devices when the phone is connected and in recovery mode, and I only see the category Portable Devices when the phone is connected, booted, and in debug mode. (Neither of these categories are visible when the phone is disconnected from the computer.) I did however try installing the drivers you gave me with the phone connected and in recovery mode, but to no avail; after the phone boots ADB Devices disappears and Portable Devices appears. Uninstalling Portable Devices doesn't help either; it just reinstalls when I reconnect the phone.
I am trying to get the category ADB Devices to appear in the Device manager when the phone is turned on and in debug mode so that I can use ADB while the phone is booted.

Got it working. I had to go to device manager > portable devices > HTC First and replace the driver with Generic USB Composite Device Driver.
Boom. Everything working. Weird.
