ADB can't find Nexus 7 on Mac OS X Mavericks

4.6k Views Asked by At

i have recently installed Mac OS X Mavericks and now adb can't detect my nexus 7 anymore. I've already tried to:

  • Restart both pc and tablet
  • add to adb_usb.ini the vendor's id
  • switch from MTP to PTP and viceversa
  • change usb port

I also noticed that Android File Transfer works perfectly.

How can I fix this problem?

As told in the question I tried doing different things like rebooting the PC and the tablet but nothing happened.

I also tried switching off the "developer options" on my device and then turning it on again, but, again, no luck.

Maybe it can be useful to restart ADB server, with the following commands (via terminal):

[user]$ adb kill-server
[user]$ adb start-server (or adb devices)

Or from inside eclipse:

  1. Open DDMS perspective
  2. Click on the drop-down menu near the camera
  3. Click on "restart ADB"

Eventually (some hours later) after some reboots and tricks like ADB has been able to recognize my device

Just install USB driver for Nexus 7 in your PC & try refreshing hardware changes for the device in the device manager.
