I understand that this question is over 2 years old, but from my searches a few people are still having a persistent problem with this. One possible solution to this (which worked for me after two hours!) is that your phone settings may have its "Log Switch" set to off, hence it isn't sending your log data to the IDE.

Here is the solution - "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory"

Hope it helps!
