everyone, I would like to connect my galaxy nexus to the eclipse, which allows me to use the real device for debugging my program, however, my galaxy nexus does not appear even I have clicked on the usb debugging option in the developer mode. Can anyone give a hand to me, thank you!

Which operating system are you using?

If on Windows:

  • Have you installed the ADB and FastBoot? Does your device show up if you do adb devices?
  • If not, follow the instructions here or here.
  • Reconnection your device, open a console window and type: adb devices. If your device is listed in the output, Eclipse will also pick it up.
  • For Samsung provided firmware and drivers, check here.

If on Linux:

  • Follow this tutorial. You don't necessarily have to unlock the bootloader. As long as your device shows up in adb devices after adding the device identification lines in udev, followed by a udev restart with sudo service udev restart, all should be good.

Here is another tutorial that claims to install ADB automatically on both Windows, Linux and Mac. I haven't tried it myself. So it might be a good idea to peep inside the Knives-&-Forks scripts before executing them.

  • ok, thank you gsbabil, I have not installed this yet, so I try to fix it first. – Conrad Jul 10 '12 at 03:01
  • I have installed the google USB driver, but the same thing sill happen, Windows still reply that it was unable to install my Galaxy. And I have checked for firmware by Samsung, it seems none of those firmware match my need. – Conrad Jul 10 '12 at 03:12
  • @user1502740: What you need is to install the USB driver for ADB correctly first. Please follow the steps explained here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html depending your Windows version. – gsbabil Jul 10 '12 at 05:14
  • I have followed it and successfully installed it, and open the usb debugging option, but the device still not appear, and using adb devices command shows that no device is attached – Conrad Jul 10 '12 at 05:44
  • I would like to ask is it because Samsung devices need Samsung USB driver, because currently in the sdk/extras folder, it is google USB driver inside, so it will be fined if I install the Samsung USB driver here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8371787/eclipse-doesnt-show-my-galaxy-nexus-with-android-4?rq=1 into the extras foler, then the problems will be solver?I have not installed it then, since I am not sure wheter it will affect the existing one – Conrad Jul 10 '12 at 06:06
  • it is okay now, I think probably it is because Samsung devices need a independent USB driver, so it did not work before, thank you for the help you have given to me! – Conrad Jul 10 '12 at 07:14

Make sure the USB driver is installed. Instructions can be found here.
