Question

stack virgin, please be gentle.

Recently installed Eclipse w/ ADT bundle & adb cannot find my USB device (Motorola RAZR HD). I've run through the following so far:

  1. adb kill-server -> adb start-server -> adb devices
  2. uncheck/check usb debugging on device
  3. restart device (both unplugged/plugged)
  4. restart Eclipse
  5. from IDE -> DDMS -> restart adb

Most of the posts here deal with the above. Others are Windows/Linux related.

I'm running OS X 10.7.5 & Android Developer Tools Build: v21.0.1-543035. The documentation found here:

http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

... conveniently says "If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step." When referring to setting up a hardware device. I typically agree with this statement, but in this case, it's not helpful.

I am also running EasyTether Pro through the device and suspect the drivers for this application are the culprit but could be dead wrong. I am typically dead wrong ergo question here.

Anywho - if anyone has seen an issue with this particular device or has any magic to help that would be rad.

I would prefer not to reinstall Eclipse/ADT but if that gets the job done, so be it.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

EasyTetherPro is the culprit. There are several articles online about this that I have now found.

OTHER TIPS

First of all start with the command line and once everything works involve Eclipse and other stuff.

You have to add the device USB Vendor ID to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini:

$ echo '0x1234' >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

Replace 0x1234 by the real id. If you don't know the USB Vendor ID you can use System Information to obtain it. Once added, proceed with the steps you were doing (kill, restart, etc.).

It may help to run the command sequence

    adb kill-server
    adb start-server
    adb devices sequence

using the 'sudo' command.

It could be the dumbest answer ever, but.. as I have a USB port in the back of my laptop and besides it there's the network port, I had connected the Phone to the Network port instead of the USB. Just please double check I almost install Windows because of this. duh!
