How do I get x10 mini to show up in adb devices on osx?


I cant get x10 mini to show up in "adb devices", (only emulators show up). Phone is in usb-debugging-mode, thethering-applications are disabled and on OSX I shouldn't need to download any USB drivers for the phone, so whats wrong here?

/Developer/Utilities/usb probe reports phone as:

    Descriptor Version Number:   0x0200
    Device Class:   0   (Composite)
    Device Subclass:   0
    Device Protocol:   0
    Device MaxPacketSize:   64
    Device VendorID/ProductID:   0x0FCE/0x2138   (Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB)
    Device Version Number:   0x0224
    Number of Configurations:   1
    Manufacturer String:   1 "SEMC"
    Product String:   2 "SEMC HSUSB Device"
    Serial Number String:   3 "4342xxxx314A5151xxxx"

Thankful for any help


Solution

  • Run the command

    android update adb
    

    This will create a adb_usb.ini file in your $HOME/.android directory. After you open this file you will see:

    # ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
    # USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
    # 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
    

    Just add a new line to file and write 0x0FCE save that file and exit. Now restart adb server with:

    adb kill-server
    adb start-server
    

    adb devices now should list your device.
