no ADB connection anymore

[yasinis]

ok guys, here you go:

my phone doesn't make any ADB connections anymore with my mac.

points i already tested:
- reinstalled all the android dev tools
- flashed several rome on my sensation (tried: Beast rom, pyramid, arhd)
- reboot without fast boot
- usb debugging is active!

when i'm typing in terminal: "ADB devices" --> i get no devices.

where is the problem?
i already used adb while s-off my device, but now it won't work anymore.
just remember, i'm using a MAC, so i haven't got a pc!

You're right.

But I also don't know anything about BAD or FASTBOOB or anything like that. I don't like reading. :[

go into devmgmt.msc and see if your phone shows up under adb interfaces. if not, could be 1) bad usb cable, 2) bad usb port, 3) bad adb driver.

Check the drivers, you may need to update them

how 2 do that? i mean what do you mean with devmgmt.msc(device management...?)

1) usb cable is good, the original one. also tried different usb cables, it doesn't matter.

2) usb port is also ok, other devices running out of the box (f.e. dvd drive oder dslr)

3) adb driver already updated via "Android SDK and AVD Manager".
i installed Android SDK tools, SDK Platform tools, sdk platform (--> is there sth. missing?)

Try disabling debugging on the phone, plug it in, reboot it, then enable debugging again

no sorry...won't work..

getting the same:

adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

also tried without fastboot rebooting.

there are news guys:

just got an windows 7 personal computer for a couple of days.
installing the sdk and usb driver just worked fine.

why it doesn't work for mac?
already installed all new...

You may also check the cable you're using to connect the phone to your Mac. I was getting the same problem when trying to use the cable from my car charger - the phone was not even visible on the system list of USB devices. Using the cable that came with the phone did the trick.

(although if you used the same cable with Windows and it worked, my hint won't be of much help)

Do you got HTC sync installed on your PC?

Do you got HTC sync installed on your PC?

please remember - i'm using a MAC!

so finally i tested my device with several computers at the university.
i just found out, that the problem may been caused of my installed mac osx lion - but don't ask me why!

on the mac of my prof (also osx lion with latest updates) it worked out of the box...

--> so i'm gonna making backups now and will format my hard disk and reinstall lion again.

i'll give u feedback again ;-)

ok, just found out where the problem was caused. it was EasyTether!

this will help:

If you have installed EasyTether on OS X, the EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext can prevent adb from communicating with your mobile device.

If you use Easy Tether, BEFORE you plug in your phone run:

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
(or unplug/plug your phone in after)

If you are done debugging and want to use EasyTether again, either restart or:

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
If you want to remove the EasyTether kext so it never hassels you again:

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
