Connecting Android Phone With ADB


I recently bought a new phone (Motorola Electrify) and I'm trying to connect it with ADB but so far without luck. What I did:

  • Enable USB debugging on the phone
  • Connect phone to my iMac using the USB cable (the display indicates that it's connected)
  • Type "./adb devices" to list connected devices

Unfortunately nothing shows up. I even did a adb kill/start-server and I also added "0x22B8" to the adb_usb.ini (even though that shouldn't be necessary).

Can anyone point out what other steps I could take to debug why the device isn't showing up?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Thanks for your answers above, but I've resolved it myself. For anyone who has the same problem:

    has the answer.

    It turns out that Motorola has several USB modes. I changed the mode to "USB Mass Storage" and it's working now. I did this by dragging the status bar down and clicking on "USB connection" to manage the USB connection.
