Phone isn't recognized by ADB

Question

this whole thing is a nightmare, at least in windows. I had my phone connected and everything was ok. I have a Samsung Galaxy, I\'ve installed the USB driver and it was okay

Answer 1

I ve seen multiple times this problem and there is no common answer. i'll make a list of solutions that I have seen across severals forums:

• Restart ADB server with the following commands: adb kill-server and then adb start-server

• Change the USB cable you are using: I've seen a lot of complaints about Samsung's USB cable.

• Change the USB socket you are using

• Try to reinstall the drivers (for instance, for Samsung devices, installing Kies; this solved the problem for me)

• Try to reboot your phone

• Unset the debug mode on the device and set it again

Adb seems to often cause troubles, not the best piece of software I've seen!
