I have two Android phones

  1. Alcatel One Touch 4030D, Android version 4.1.1, kernel version 3.4.0
  2. Highscreen Spark, Android version 4.0.4, kernel version 3.0.21-perf.

adb devices detects the Alcatel phone, but not the Highscreen phone.

I tried to run adb kill-server; adb start-server, but it didn't help. Switching between different connection modes (Media device (MTP), USB storage) didn't help either. USB debugging is enabled.

Here are the screenshots of the Developer options settings:

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 2

Screenshot 3

How can I make adb recognize the Highscreen device?

Update 1 (03.08.2013 19:00 MSK): Adding the line 0454 to adb_usb.ini didn't help.

Update 2 (03.08.2013 19:59 MSK): My attempt to follow the official Google recommendations failed because I couldn't find the drivers for the Highscreen Spark device.

  • There are some "naked" driver. Have your tried one of these? – B770 Aug 06 '13 at 13:52
  • @B770 No. Where can I download them? – Glory to Russia Aug 06 '13 at 18:53
  • Check xda devs. I dont know if it works for your defice. – B770 Aug 06 '13 at 19:15
  • did you install Google USB Drivers from Android Developer Tools? – triclosan Aug 06 '13 at 22:00
  • Have you tried to run adb server as root ? sudo ./adb start-server – Rémi F Aug 06 '13 at 22:25
  • @buzeeg I'm working on Windows 7. I don't think this is user permission issue because adb works fine a) with AndroVM emulator and b) the Alcatel phone. – Glory to Russia Aug 07 '13 at 05:58
  • @triclosan I installed the "Android developer tools" package (including eclipse). I don't know whether the Google USB driver is installed. How can I find this out? – Glory to Russia Aug 07 '13 at 06:00
  • check Android SDK Manager http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html – triclosan Aug 07 '13 at 06:35
  • you referred Google recommendations about OEM drivers AFAIK its for lowlevel USB access bootflashing, etc... – triclosan Aug 07 '13 at 06:39
  • See if [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/17027966/1893766) helps. – ozbek Aug 11 '13 at 11:26
  • @shoerat Installing Universal ADB driver didn't help. – Glory to Russia Aug 11 '13 at 11:45
  • Try uninstalling every existing ADB drivers (for all Android phones/tablets that you have installed before) and then try with Universal Naked Driver and/or Universal ADB Driver. – ozbek Aug 12 '13 at 15:42
  • I'm not sure which version of Jelly Bean introduces that feature, but there is a security "opt-in" on your phone that pops up a message on USB debugging attempt from an unknown development PC. You need to grant access on your phone. If you set up your phone with multiple users then this opt-in popup can remain hidden if you switched to a secondary user account. Only the primary user account can see that popup. – tiguchi Aug 12 '13 at 17:38

If you could setup an ADT on Linux or Mac, it will work out of the box. We were able to connect all sorts of devices to adb easily with ADT on Linux/Mac.

  • Could you please explain why Linux/Mac version of adb can work with devices in absence of their drivers and Windows can't? – Glory to Russia Aug 12 '13 at 14:32

    Android uses the Linux Kernel, any OS that uses the Linux Kernel is basically still a Linux so the drivers aren't needed anymore because Linux already have the libraries that Android needs. Windows is a different system and that is why you still need the driver files to make it work – Bryan P May 21 '14 at 07:21
  • this is NOT an answer. this is a comment. please edit including SPECIFIC info. – tony gil Apr 27 '16 at 09:59

If you haven't managed to connect it through usb, you can try the network connection. Add your device to the same network, then type in the command prompt:

adb connect your_device_ip_address

  • I thought about that (I use this command in order to connect to AndroVM emulator). How can I find out the IP address of the phone? – Glory to Russia Aug 07 '13 at 05:57
  • 1
    I can see the IP address following "Settings -> About Device -> Status -> IP address". Hope can help you – Silvano Aug 07 '13 at 12:37
  • Just tried it out - I'm getting the error message `unable to connect to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5555`. USB debugging is enabled. – Glory to Russia Aug 11 '13 at 10:12

Without adb driver for device (in your case Highscreen Spark) it is almost impossible to create a bridge(connection) between your program and device, as adb (Android Debug bridge) makes a connection between your PC/laptop to your android device And without Adb in windows Pc/Laptops its not easily possible to debug.

Because of this, Companies like samsung, lg, htc are providing adb drivers to users for easy debugging, if you dont have a adb driver for Your Device you have only one choice left , Change your operating System into linux and then see the magic.

  • Ad changing to Linux: Why is the Linux version of adb able to work without device drivers and the Windows version isn't? – Glory to Russia Aug 12 '13 at 12:01
  • First of all i would like to tell you i am rookie, and for your question i think that android is a linux based operating system and that why we dont need to create a bridge between devices , but in some devices we do need to install adb, But in windows we need to create a bridge and for that we need drivers for it. – hemantsb Aug 12 '13 at 12:14

I had this same problem. Turns out, the issue was the USB Port I plugged in to. The port directly on my laptop does not allow for ADB to see the device. The port on the back of my docking station does allow ADB to see the device. I believe it has to do with USB 3.0 vs. 2.0. I believe 3.0 blocks the protocol ADB needs to use.

You will actually require the device drivers to connect it, so try insatalling Highscreen Spark's PC Suite.

If that dosen't work or you don't find the PC Suite you can download Moborobo from here which is a universal PC Suite for smart phones and connect the device with it and then try connecting the device from abd

  • Can you please provide the URL for downloading the "Highscreen Spark PC Suite"? – Glory to Russia Aug 13 '13 at 07:49
  • sorry buddy, I tried finding the pc suite for Highscreen Spark but wasn't able to find it, so I mentioned Moborobo, try using it instead , it worked for me – Shiva Aug 13 '13 at 07:52

It may be a problem with your adb.exe. I had the same problem earlier for connecting HCL G1 tablet. I also added lines in android_winusb.ini, but could not connect yet.
Then I found out this link. I got solution by changing the adb.exe file. Try this link :
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/37692-adb-drivers-problem/ Or
just download the adb.exe from following link and replace it with you adb.exe file.

It is also suggested run this command to make adb_usb.ini effective for respective adb after modifying.
echo 0x2207 >> %USERPROFILE%.android\adb_usb.ini

After head banging for more than a day - a small thing saved my life on my RK3066 based device:

after you update the adb_usb.ini and everything else, and after you do a 

adb kill-server

do a 

adb usb

and only then do a 

adb devices

saved my life

By the way

Adding the line 0454 to adb_usb.ini didn't help.

you should be adding 0x454

  • My device is a rk30sdk based rk3066 android usb tv dongle. – danielflam Jan 26 '14 at 00:06
  • Another thing you need to try: If your computer doesnt recognize the USB, try turning on the bluetooth interface in the control panel. In my case it allowed the computer to detect the box. – danielflam Jan 26 '14 at 00:07

I was having issues with my android phone showing up when I typed adb devices but found out that it was the usb cable which caused the issue, members in my family have two different android phones each with their own charging cable. I was using one phone with the other phones usb cable just because it was the nearest and I didn't think it would make a difference but it did.

Try a different usb cable and that might help.
