i can not get adb to detect my device in os x all i get is "error: device not found"

i have an htc evo and a hero(hero has no service) neither of them are detected. i tether my internet through easytether so i know os x sees the phone...

im running os x 10.5.8

ive looked all over the place and found no help... all i ever find is "On OS X it just works" which is bull....

mainy what im trying to do is run “adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927″

is there any way to accomplish this from the phone?

how can i get adb to work????? this is driving me nuts!
[General Questions and Answers] jrgraber:
Similar issue on Espresso

The closest I found to a solution was an indication that USB tethering could be the issue. I've disabled EasyTether to test this but my device still attempts to connect when I plug it in according to logcat. I've tested it on my father's iMac and same issue, so it's def an issue on my Slide.

What ROM are you running? I'm on Cyanogenmod 6.1.1.
[General Questions and Answers] jrgraber:
Found the solution. You need to use kextunload in terminal to disable the easytether kernel extension.

sudo kextunload (full path to the extension)

sudo kextload to turn it back on as needed
[G Tablet General] tktim:
New to Android. But long time user of Linux/RH/Fedora. Are there “distro's” on Android? Can users easily add/remove software with a RPM type management system? In Linux if you don't like TnT you would just uninstall it. Viewsonic g tablet seems to be ok if you manually change a few things. I'm assuming that this is generally a temporary problem due to Viewsonic being behind in their updates. But what I would like to know is there going to be any long term “distro” type leadership going forward? When the new Android Tablet OS is released will it work with most hardware (Viewsonic) like a Linux distro or are we depended on Viewsonic. If Viewsonic let us down can we divorce them and go directly to Android or someone else for automatic updates? Thinking about buying. Can wait for Flash update hopefully in December. Don't see screen as a problem, basically the same as most laptops/netbooks. Can add market manually till it become official with new OS.

[G Tablet General] Marine6680:
Android is not like normal distros.

Being primarily an OS aimed at mobile devices (IE phones) with limited memory and proprietary layouts and internal set-ups, all drivers can not be provided in one overall install. Confliction between drivers would be an issue as well. Also look at many phones (like the nexus one) the Firmware controlling the cellular radio also controls the camera and encoding of videos and images. There is some common ground, but one ROM will not work on all devices without tweaking for the perticular device. CyanogenMOD ROM is a good example, it works on many devices but you must install the proper version for the device you have.

Also remember that we do not have Root on these devices out of the box, 99% of the time we must find an exploit to gain full access to the device. The Nexus one and the G tablet are the only devices I know of off hand without locked down bootloaders. Cellular carriers want the devices looked down so the users can not use the device in ways that the carriers do not want. (like free tethering)

We are dependant on the manufacturer often times to release source code for the device so Devs can rip out the proper drivers and framework for the device. Often times drivers cross over between android versions making updating easier for the ROM devs.

If you want a device that you can truly tinker with, stick to devices that Google has as Developer models. The old G1 the Nexus One and the upcoming Nexus S. Maybe they will release a Dev tablet as well.

The N900 is more open in that regard as far as being like a true Linux, though the future of that branch seems uncertain. It will defiantly be more niche.
[G Tablet General] tktim:
Thanks for the reply. I guess I was thinking Android was Linux lite. Not sure where I stand on a tablet now. Think I want a Linux pc in a tablet form. Fedora on a tablet would be fine for me. Like you say tablets with MeeGo (Intel/Nokia/Linux Foundation) may or may not appear any time soon. Have to wait and see what happens.
[G Tablet General] khaytsus:
Android is running on top of Linux, and given programs compiled for ARM you can install about anything, but there's no X... Framebuffer stuff could potentially work..

But no, if you're looking for a typical Linux desktop environment, this isn't the place to look. Although some of the dual boot Windows/Android tablets makes me wonder how difficult it would be to get it Linux/Android. :)

I bought a lg vortex and it worked great i rooted it with z4root no problems at all :)

that was intill i did a flashclockrecovery and it turned off and now is stuck at lg boot logo!

i have no clue how to fix it i called lg they said to send it in so the can reflash the rom software to the phone and i was thinking i could do that my self any one know how to do this?

any advise would be great!

How can you get it to recovery mode? so there for i can install the software with the lg updater tool to the phone.?

(if these makes a diffrence it the same exact button layout of optimus "t" an "s"

buttons just look diffrent !)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emerge007:
I also performed the same steps, and am now stuck at boot screen. The hard and soft reset methods do not work. Phone does not connect to pc, I have even tried an LG flashing application...but still could not detect the phone via usb. Any advice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emerge007:
I have found one solution and fixed my phone which btw was the only solution to this mess :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] teaknasty:
Little Help

I am having the EXACT same issues that you described. Could you please tell me how you got it fixed. I've tried everything I can think of.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emerge007:
Here is the thing, the LG Vortex has no support for hacking right now. You can only root the device.....no overclocking, roms ect. as of yet. So before I sadly explain how I fixed the issue....do not make the same mistake twice. Z4 root does work, both perm root and temp root. Anything beyond that, sorry. I bricked my phone just like you. Sadly you are screwed buddy. I came up with the bright idea of totally frying my phone so that Verizon does not know the root process had taken place (void warranty). I cut a dc adapter up stuck both ends on battery terminals for phone....after battery was out and flipped the powerstrip on and bam...fried phone. The low voltage like that is safe so dont worry. I would advise using a powerstrip instead of physically plugging the ac adapter in. Take phone back and say it suddenly stopped charging. SAY NOTHING ELSE, NO APPS FROM MARKET, NO PC HOOKUP OR ANY DATA PLACED ON PHONE. If you do by chance get shocked from doing this.....stop your crying its 12volts.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emerge007:
by the way, dont leave any root programs on your sd card...as verizon will want all the original items back for a phone exchange. Also ya know make sure you did indeed fry it.....I double checked and first time it didnt do it. If you put batt in and phone does not come on at all....then it worked. Just make sure those wires are not touching eachother so much as seperate connecters where the battery touches ya know. If you just touch wires together, powerstrip will pop/lil sparks on wires or you may pop a breaker. But them little dc adapters I do not think can pop a breaker. Just get an electricity flow through the phone and it will fry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] teaknasty:
Doodie

I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a heads up on that stuff. I've been afraid that it was bricked. Just to clarify, what do you mean by dc adapter? I've been having nightmares of verizon finding out that i tried to root it from seeing something on that internal memory, so I'm really glad you went into that. So, I know how to remove everything from my sd card and/or reformat it if need be, but i'm confused about exactly how to use the "dc adapter" to baby buzz this thing into amnesia.

Thanks alot for the help,

T
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emerge007:
I placed the wires from the DC adapter on the the little terminals where the battery touches. I wouldnt recommend doing this beyond the 30 day warranty period fyi.
[Streak 5 General] disgracedsaint:
Ok so I will start from the beginning. I bought my streak online from dells website (US). It came with 1.6. I tried doing the new update from dells site on my phone but it didn't work because I had the wrong baseband version. So I looked around and followed this: http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/11/how-to-get-official-android-22-update-on-dell-streak.html which resulted in my phone hanging at the dell screen ( I should have read the comments )

So at this point I tried to revert back to 1.6 and have tired lots of different posts that I have found here and on other forums.

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-dell-streak-android-1-6-with-online-kitchen/

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6

I've cleared out my sd card. (don't know if that matters)

I have used flashboot and have gotten to the part where it lets me select update from sd, but it just gives me a black screen.

I did one where it actually started an update but gave me an error that I cant seem to find the exact wording but it was something about missing files I believe.

I'm really lost .... and I need my phone back any help is much apreciated.

Thank You Folks. But I really like the stock SWYPE, if there are no available APKs, I'll just reformat my device. I just don't want to do that, because then I would need to reinstall close to 70 different sorts of apps and other customizations. I don't want to restore my device to factory, but if that is the only way to get the stock SWYPE back, I guess I'll have to. I really like the SWYPE; I find it easier to enter text in, than using the regular keyboard.

Try Navigating to Recovery Mode Volume Up + Power

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
ok, that's worrying. If you had S-OFF and then you installed an *older* RUU onto it, then it would have installed some of the original stuff. The trouble is, it may have then got to a point where it doesn't like the fact that the "new" ROM is in fact older, and then refuses to load it. By this point though you have no ROM and stock recovery.

Sorry but this sounds bad. Once you're S-OFF in HBOOT (until we have radio S-OFF fully sorted) then you need to be very careful if you ever flash an older ROM, or you could be bricked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
however in this situation, you can just tell htc all you did was flash an ruu and it happened, if you do have stock hboot and recovery now then they can't prove otherwise and will replace under warranty.

I liked the video of the screen-off CRT look the "Gingerbread leak" had so I whipped up a shutdown animation to look like it. It's not that polished but it does the job.

Here's a gif preview. On the phone it's twice as fast and to scale. I didn't feel like messing around with the gif to get it to speed up.

Confirmed working on the Desire Z and SkyRaider Sense. Will most likely work on other ROMs.

Instructions

-If not on Desire Z or Skyraider, check your /system/customize/resource to see which file you need.

-Download corresponding .zip(s)

-ADB push to /system/customize/resource

-Power down to test :)

Desire Z (push both)

downanimation.zip

shutdown.zip

Skyraider

shutdown.zip

Using Dropbox so you should be able to d/l straight from phone. No waiting.

(If you are a dev and would like to include this in your ROM, please ad me to your credits and send me a PM to let me know. Thanks)
