If anyone knows how to get adb working with the Iconia-

I can't get adb to work with my iconia to save my life... I've tried every driver out there to try to get the device recognized but I can't even get it connected to my computer. I have the mini usb cable and all, and I can copy/paste files into the tablet memory, but whenever I start adb it won't recognize it. How did you guys get yours set up? And I've connected my incredible via adb so I know my sdk kit is legit. Just let me know, thanks-
Oh, and: Iconia is rooted. Also, I've tried to start the device manager (i'm on win7 btw), locate the missing device driver, update driver, and navigate to where I got the acer driver from their website, but to no avail. Could it be my rom? I have a hc 3.1 on there atm. Well, that's about it haha
The ultimate goal is to install native ubuntu on the a500, but I need access to adb first.

Hmm ... did you install the USB drivers from Acer's support site?

Another option with ADB is to do so via IP. Search the Market for 'adb' and there should be a few apps that will allow you to use ADB over TCP/IP. From your computer, with ADB installed, you'd connect with something like:
adb connect <Tablet's IP address>:<port>
I seem to think port 5555 is the default.
If, after trying this method, you still cannot access/see your tablet (assuming you started ADB services), then you may want to check your SDK.
Best of luck.

This may sound silly, but have you gone into settings, applications, development, and checked "USB debugging" to on?

And please my op... of course I tried the drivers from acer's site, both of them. And my sdk kit works, just like I said. But thanks!

Glad it was something simple!

Sometimes we always overlook the simple things.
But I would not have told on myself.to many other things could blame it on.giggles

Not able to ADB my STR

Hello folks,
I had a WinXP computer, and I installed android SDK, and I was able to connect to my nook via ADB. As it was aging and having fan problem, I bought a new Dell (i5, win7, 4Gb RAM, 500 Gb HD). I installed android SDK, but never tried to ADB my nook. Yesterday I tried it, and whenever I try to connect via IP, or use adb devices, nothing shows up. I tried messing with the firewall, but it was not working at all.
Does anybody have any idea to help me? And also on how to get my firewall back (removed Norton, which I believe is a bloating spyware, and installed avast antivirus, but firewall was not released either, and it gives a 0x80070424 error).

Try this
Attach the usb cable to the NST and see if it is visible in device manager. Ideally if no driver is installed, you would just see it there with an exclamation mark.
Then follow ros87's instructions here. If adb_usb.ini doesnt exist create it.
Then from device manager, update device drivers for the unrecognized nook and point it to the i386/amd folder within the android drivers folder.
once that is done, restart adb, run "adb usb", then try "adb devices". If it worked it should show you the device.

ADB wifi was easier. In fact, it was such a long time since I last used it (before 1.1.1), that I forgot to add the adbwireless button to turn it on.
But thanks anyway. I've never dared to use USB due to inner messiness of the process.

[Q] Unauthorized ADB on Mac

I have searched extensively to no end. When I ./adb devices in terminal, it lists my phone but says 'unauthorized.'
I do not get a prompt on my phone to authorize its connection to osx.
I have rest phone to factory spec. Still nothing.
Thoughts?

I had this issue on a stock rom with ADB in Windows and in Linux. This apparently is a known "issue" with the stock rom when the USB mode is set to MTP.
The "fix" is to make sure you are in Network mode (either Internet or Modem is fine). You might have to disconnect and re-connect the USB cable a couple times (and re-select the Nework mode) before it will actually connect with ADB. If it pops up with the ADB Verify Server Fingerprint window on the phone, you have sucessfully made an ADB connection.

ADB not connecting

I cant tell what im doing wrong, ive never had this much of a headache using ADB.
For the life of me i cannot connect to my device to run commands.
I can see the device and the serial, but its forcing me to connect over tcpip, and every time I put in the correct IP and port 5037 and it refuses to connect.
Device will authorize my PC, but that is it, and ADB will not run in USB mode and keeps asking me for the IP, which I can ping, but it wont connect.
Please help

What commands are you wanting to run?
And you are using the most recent USB drivers?
It sounds like the correct comm port is being used, as you get basic recognition, but I'd check anyway. Try a different USB port, maybe different PC.
Let us know.

Did you try adb kill-server then adb start-server?

I had an app I was trying to give privileges to, figured I couldn't but wanted to try anyway. That part kinda doesn't matter though because I cant get far enough.
I do have the latest drivers installed, tried 3 different ports but not a different pc.
I killed and restarted the server in USB mode, but then it says no devices connected and the phone disconnects and reconnects each time, and adb restarts in tcp/IP when it doesn't detect the phone

MTP and ADB on switch

Hi all,
so i have got android installed on my switch but cannot seem to get the usb to work at all for ADB and MTP.
the switch does not show anything when it is connected by usb and it does not appear in device manager or adb on the host machine.
i have enabled developer mode and debug over USB.
i have tried to connect to ADB via the network but this lead to the authentication failing
does anyone have any ideas of what could be the issue?

I looked at lsusb on my Linux machine and it shows as a USB serial device, so I looked at the serial terminal and it doesn't print anything, so I guess you won't get USB to work, but you might be able to get WiFi adb to work but I haven't

Thank you that is greatly important stuff to know.
The issues I am having with ADB over network is that it requires the device to be trusted which first needs to be done over USB.
It could be done using root but I can not seem to enable root on this version of Android.
