Detecting device for debugging (ADB) does not work

Question

I\'ve turned USB debugging on on my Archos 43 Internet Tablet (Android 2.3.26), but adb does not detect the device.

I have Kubuntu 11.04.

Output of shell com

Answer 1

Actually, just like Aultbot, replacing the cable did the trick for me as well. Strange as I had been using the cable for several hours when it suddenly didn't work with ADB.

Also, make sure you accept the connection on the phone (new security function in Android 4)

Edit: Recently, there has been some issues regarding the adb service. If it is not started (check with netstat or similar or type "set ADB_TRACE=1" before running your adb command to get debug messages) then check threads dealing with that error message. A common issue is that the default port is in use by some other application (change port by typing "set ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT=12345" before the adb command).
