Can't connect to adb shell after Damagecontrol 2.1 ROM update - Hero CDMA General

I have my 2.1 DamageControl ROM running fine (thx damage!). I'm just trying to connect to adb. I'm on win7, 64bit.
I used to connect fine when I was on fresh 1.1.
I thought it was b/c I had an outdated sdk, which I did. I upgraded from v3 to v5, and made sure I downloaded all the latest, including the latest usb driver.
I also checked to make sure I have HTC sync 2.08.
but I just keep getting this.
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
error: device not found

anyone else getting this issue, or know the solution?

Try this. It worked for me with Windows 7.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how...droid-devices/
I started at Step II. Reinstall Drivers since I already had the SDK.

Link no worky.
I had this same problem. Go into your device manager and reinstall your ADB driver. If you're in the same situation I was in, it'll have a "!" on the ADB item in your list. Right click ADB, update driver, pick from a list of available drivers... or something like that. In the list it gives you, you should see something along the lines of "Android ADB Interface." Pick that... it may give you some kind of warning but install it anyway and you're done.

Try this,
adb kill-server
abd start-server

Ah hah.. thanks for the heads up. Here's the correct link. I also fixed my original post.

thanks for all the advice! I'll give them all a try.

This is what makes this website awesome. I'm glad everyone has come back together after all of that madness.

FYI, this one didn't work.

@crunchy - hm, I don't see any adb driver reference

I also went to device mgr in win7, and yeah, it has the !, but when I tried to update, it still failed. I even tried pointing to the usb driver folder in my android sdk, but it didn't like it. maybe something specific to win7 64bit?
Maybe I need to install the drivers manually? But what driver should I look for, for this Damagecontrol 2.1 ROM Sprint Hero now?

Did you make sure to enable debugging?

I don't have a link handy, but just go to the HTC support site for the Eris and download the latest HTC sync. It will fix your drivers, no fuss and straight forward.

Yes, tried with it off, and on. I also tried reinstalling HTC sync 2.08.

I didn't tell you to reinstall sync 2.0.8
Go here http://member.america.htc.com/download/Driver/DROID_ERIS_Verizon/HTCSync2.0.25.zip
And install THAT version of sync it has the proper drivers.
Think I told you to go to the Eris page by accident? Think again. Do it, fix your problem and let's all move on.
Sorry for being so blunt, just frustrated you that you wrote off my original suggestion, responding that you already tried reinstalling the same version of sync that wasn't working in the first place. If you paid attention to my first tip this would have already been solved.

Must be a problem with the htc site, the link I provided was a direct link. I'll see if I can find another
Edit: now you do have some kind of weirdness going on. If that didn't work.
First make sure you have done the following... reboot pc and phone. Usb debugging enabled. Then connect phone attempt and shell and copy error here.
Also a question, did you install sync 2.0.8 prior to installing the 2.0.25version ?
A few other possible steps you could try.
Go to your start menu and type cmd one you see the cmd icon pop up in the menu rightclick and run as administrator. Then,
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb shell
If you still get device not found try: adb devices and paste the output here.

its odd, I was following the unlocker setup, and no the drivers didn't install on their own.
I used the USBDeview program, I didn't even have any htc drivers installed so after I just went to devices in windows and uninstalled all the drivers there. I then was able to install a driver for the dream and thats where I am at now.

Ok. Well there are a couple guides here for doing it, I dont know if they will help but it can't hurt to read them anyway. If the driver is installed properly from the ANdroid SDK then you should be able to adb no problem. Also make sure you go to settings->Applications and make sure USB Debugging is on. That must be on for adb to work.
yep thats done too, Maybe a hard reset would help?
ok well nothing guess i cannot root, super
got it did on my girls 32 bit win7 and it worked
cool but I cant do anything from comp

im trying to set up adb, and it wont recognize my mytouch. ive searched and what i found didnt work for me.

First download USBDeview - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
Unzip it
Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator
You will see all drivers being used on your computer
Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)
Right Click on the driver and press uninstall
Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in
You should now get the notification of the ADB device
Follow the steps above to install the drivers
Then, plug your phone in, don't mount it! Pull up a command windows and type:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (or wherever you have your sdk installed)
adb devices (should see your phones serial number listed if you did it correctly)
adb shell
su (for root access)

i downloaded the sdk, what drivers are you talking about?
when i setup the sdk, i downloaded those drivers.
It was a long time ago when I downloaded SDK, however, if I'm not mistaken, I believe when it connects to the server and gives you download options, one of those options is USB drivers.

You have to make sure you're running USBdeview as admin on your computer. Also, you won't necessarily have 3. Just select which ever ones you do have, right click and delete those files. Then unplug your phone and plug it back in. You computer should automatically install the appropriate drivers, and you should be able to use adb.

[Problem] Adb won't show up devices whatever I do...

I Tried guides that try to solve this from everywhere, Including here,
I used latest version of the android usb-drivers that comes with the latest Android SDK (downloaded directly from google with the SDK download GUI thinggy).
Tried to uninstall all usb roots,
Tried force removal of driver using external app and re-installations
Tried different drivers from multiple locations,
And still, whatever I try - there is notihng on the "adb devices" list
"List of devices attached"
<CR>
<CR>
C:\.......>
Everything shows up okay, on first run of the adb the 'whatever' service starts and everything is fine
Device DOES appear properly on device manager "Android Composite ADB Interface".
Windows DOES the pnp beep whenever I check or uncheck the "Debugging mode"
This hapnned both on STOCK ROM (first or second software version of the phone released) and on latest Cyanogen 5.0.6
One thing I did noticed, "Android ADB Device" Either appear under "Android" type (usb debugging on) or under USB Controllers (When usb debugging is off).
Ho, I did not mentioned the phone, I'm talking about Nexus One.
Thanks for any help.
Amm, any ideas?
Try using a program named USBDEVIEW, remove the android driver and plug the phone to your PC again and wait to reinstal the drivers.
I take it your on Windows, so I might not be much help as I use Linux strictly but try to run the command prompt as Administrator (right click > run as I think) and then
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Not sure if that will help but I know in Linux you must start the ADB server as root in order to see the attached devices, so I assume in Windows you must start it as Administrator.
I ran into a similar issue with my sapphire. Turns out it was as simple as me having my tethering app on. Once I turned it off (pda net), it worked like a charm. Hope this helps

hmm >.< nothing is working for me this laptop is not detecting my (Nexus S) device in ADB
windows sees it fine, drivers are installed (for normal mode and ADB mode), mass storage works,
but ADB Devices list shows up empty
2 other phone works just fine (SGS & XT720)
Update: went to another computer and it shows up properly.... (you just gotta "luv" windows )
Try installing htc sense from htc website even if running vanilla. It will install the driver properly. Then un-install sense and keep drivers. It's the only thing that worked for me.

[GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting!

[GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting! v1.2
Hey XDAers. Getting ADB setup and working is an essential part to rooting your Android device and helps layout the foundations to better understanding the language and using it in this environment. While not going into extreme detail, this is just a quick guide or overview on the first part of rooting; Getting ADB setup and working.
** Make sure your Transformer is not currently connected to your PC yet. We will be installing device drivers first (Step 7) and modify a setting on your tablet first before connecting to your PC (Step 8).
Step 1 :
Download and install the Android SDK.
You can download the SDK from the Google Developer's website. I have linked for you the download page and a direct link to the installer (Note: the direct link may change in the future with future versions, I will try stay on top of this and change the link)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r10-windows.exe
*New Version : http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r11-windows.exe
You may or may not be prompted to install the latest version of Java if you haven't done so already, install it, and you may or may not have to reboot your computer.
Step 2 :
Once the install is complete, navigate to the directory in which you installed the SDK and launch the SDK Manager executable. It may or may not ask you to download and install the Java JDK, do so if you haven't already.
*When I run the android SDK installer it tells me I don't have the java JDK installed, even though I've installed it already*
Answer :
It says that but disregard it. If you've installed it, it should be fine. When it gets to the part that says its not installed and won't let you go any further simply click back then click forward again and it should allow you to go ahead.
Thanks Crimton!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3:
Once the SDK Manager is launched, it will look something similar to the window below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will want to do something along the lines of update all or install all. This way it will download all the latest packages and you willhave the latest SDK tools installed.
Once that is complete, you can exit out of the SDK Manager.
Step 4:
Open up a command prompt window. You can do so by holding the WinKey+R, a run window will appear, type CMD, and hit enter.
Step 6:
Within the Command Prompt window, navigate to the Android SDK folder\platform tools folder (Command Prompt command : CD foldername\foldername\foldername\etc)
Step 7:
Now install the ASUS Sync software if you haven't loaded it previously. http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download. Just select your operating system, hit download, then install.
Why are we installing the ASUS Sync software you ask?
Well mainly because it has USB drivers that will help your PC operating system detect and display your ASUS Transformer. Without the drivers, ADB wouldn't be able to detect your device most likely!
*For other android devices, you will need similar software from that manufacture. HTC Sync for HTC devices as an example.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 8:
Enable USB Debugging on your android device / Transformer.
Go to Transformer Tablet, go to settings -> applications->Development, turn on USB Debugging.
Step 9:
Connect the USB cable from your android device / Transformer to the PC. It will begin to automatically install drivers, let it do so and complete. May ask to reboot machine.
Step 10:
Once that is done, go back to the command prompt. Run ‘ADB Devices’
You should see something like above, indicating it detected the transformer, if not, run the following ‘adb kill-server’, ‘adb start-server’, ‘adb devices’
Ok, if you are seeing something like the screenshot above then success, you have successfully gotten ADB up and working! Congratulations! That wasn't too hard now was it? You can now follow one of the root guides and follow the directions and you should be on your way to a fully rooted device. Cheers!
-------
Troubleshooting:
In the event you complete the steps above but your computer either will not recogonize the Transformer in Windows as a device, or ADB will not see it please try the following to see if this will fix it for you. You only need to try these if the above steps aren't working for you, but most people, they work fine.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html
-------
Notes:
-If you want another guide on something else, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
-Yes this has been posted a million times I know, but I thought this might help out those few people that don't feel like looking around. Plus, it has nice color illustrations. Who doesn't like picture books?

lol, simple solutions are good. Just wish it didn't take me a month to find that one out.
Very simple and easy to follow. Thanks OP.
I download Asus sync for window 7 64bits but when I run asus, it doesn't detect my device and of course ADB devices didn't show up any device. Something I missed? Please?

Sorry to hear that. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what could be causing this. But here are a couple things you can try. And please let us know what happens next.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html
I have a few questions. This is the first real time I'm using ADB.
So I have tried everything you listed above and I can get it to sync on occasion, but I cannot get it to read my device in the command prompt. I type this "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices" and it says "The device is not ready." Why is it not finding it even with it syncing at that moment?
Also, do you type "D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>" every time you run something? If so, is there a way to get that to show up beforehand every time instead of having to type it? Thanks again for your help!

1) First thing you can try is the famous 'adb kill-server' 'adb start-server' commands and see if that will get it going. Also 'adb usb' will restart the daemon listening on USB, so maybe that could make it usable. If not, make sure the ASUS Sync app is not running, and perhaps see if there are any running services/apps on your Transformer that could be causing the conflict. Download System Panel Lite from Market and tell it to end all apps, then try again (make sure USB Debugging is enabled)
If you tried all of that, and still no dice, make sure no USB Drives or Memory Cards are connected, then connect the Transformer (w/ USB Debugging), go to Device Manager, uninstall the USB drivers for the device if you can find it or it may show up as a USB Mass Storage device under USB Controllers, then disconnect the Transformer, reconnect the Transformer, it should reinstall the drivers for the Transformer since you already have ASUS Sync installed, then retry.
If again still no dice, try using the ASUS USB Windows Drivers and going to Device Manager and updating the drivers with those you downloaded (download the correct ones for your particular operating system, and then try again.
Now, if this still doesn't work, let me know, and I'll try think of something else. Maybe someone else has had this issue and come up with a workaround or solution, but I'm drawing a blank currently. I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of anything else
2) You don't have to type that up all the time. What you can do is navigate the platform tools folder (or whatever folder has the adb files), then if on Win 7, hold shift and right click on the folder (Platform Tools for example), and you will see an Open Command Prompt here. Hit that, and it will already be in that root folder. But in general, in a command prompt window, once you have navigate to the specified folder, you will be in that folder, so you will only need to type ADB 'command' if that makes sense.

I think I might have figured it out, if this is it. So I downloaded the drivers but I don't think they ever installed. Don't laugh lol, how do you install them? There isn't a .exe file or anything to install them.. I just see files and notes. Do I put it somewhere or what do I do with the 3 files and readme file?
I think that might fix my problem...I hope.. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!
EDIT: I think I got the drivers and it still can't find it. :/ I think I'm going to take a break on rooting for a few. ADB is a pain! lol. I might just wait for an easier method or just not root it. We'll see. Thanks again.

If you get a chance, try this on a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine that you haven't connected the Transformer too yet, and follow the guide exactly, and I'm pretty sure it will work without a problem I'm just thinking something has happened when it loaded up the drivers for you initially and that is why you are having the issues, or some background process on either Windows or the Transformer is making the device seem "busy", thus giving you the not ready error, as this process has worked for many many other users.
I was just thinking about it. Maybe I can try that on my downstairs computer. Ill give it a shot Sunday night and see how it goes...ill let you know...

plug the phone, open a terminal as administrator/root and type
adb stop-server
adb start-server
adb devices
the last command must return your device name-id
If not there is smth wrong with your installation
The device didn't show up do you know what I could have done wrong? Do I have to turn on mass storage? Could it have something to do with my drivers, can't remember installing any... And in the device manager I see four android with a orange triangle with am exclamation mark inside.

No you don't need to enable mass storage, but you need to enable USB debugging from dev settings from the device. Use these drivers

You have to install them manually from device manager.

After i choose the folder with the drivers i only get a message saying it didnt find any drivers. Do you know why i cant install them?
Is it the same drivers when I'm using aurora ics as gingerbread roms?

I had the same issue updating my Nexus 7 in adb download mode device not found. You will also notice in system setting device driver is showing an error. You can download Adb driver installer which should detect any missing driver and fix the issue.
It worked for me straight away otherwise I had no way round getting to solve the problem. Fheww!! hope it works for you
Many Thanks.
