I just upgraded to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Now adb devices doesn't list my Galaxy Nexus or my Nexus One. I can't believe it isn't working as I'm sure there must be Android devs at Google that use Google phones with Mountain Lion. Please help!

  • I think you need to reinstall/configure the drivers. – Code Droid Aug 07 '12 at 18:58
  • I too upgraded to Mountain Lion, but did not experience any problems with my Galaxy Nexus. adb is sometimes flaky, regardless of desktop OS. Try (1) add kill-server and (2) a different cable. – Yusuf X Aug 07 '12 at 18:58

    try adb kill-server followed by adb start-server – Code Droid Aug 07 '12 at 18:59
  • then adb devices. If this does not work, and not cable then its the drivers Collins. – Code Droid Aug 07 '12 at 19:00
  • Also see if other devices are recognized. – Code Droid Aug 07 '12 at 19:01
  • @ligi sorry for asking hard questions :-P – richcollins Aug 07 '12 at 19:13
  • @CodeDroid I never had to install any drivers in the first place. It "just worked" before. – richcollins Aug 07 '12 at 19:14
  • @YusufX I've been using the same cable and devices with Lion for months without issue. Seems strange that it suddenly stopped working when I upgraded. Perhaps I damaged my cable but I doubt it. – richcollins Aug 07 '12 at 19:16
  • @YusufX Also, the cable doesn't have any issues charging the device – richcollins Aug 07 '12 at 19:16
  • @richcollins I have noticed the exact same issue with all my many devices as soon as I upgraded. I've posted in the Google Group to try and get a resolution from the Googlers: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/android-developers/8BNsMuuZCFc%5B1-25%5D – devunwired Aug 08 '12 at 16:29
  • In the interim, the best way to get them to detect quickly is to reboot the device while its connected to the machine. – devunwired Aug 08 '12 at 16:44
  • Mountain Lion / Sony Xperia Ray working here well. Sometimes I need to unplug/plug but apart from that no issues. – dorjeduck Oct 06 '12 at 02:08

Me and my team was also seeing similar issues with mountain lion, but the issues mainly because of ADB not working properly. As described in comments

adb kill-server
adb start-server

is your best friend. Always worked for us. However please note that you may have to do it multiple times, meaning it hangs do it again. Infact, the automated test script that we have written goes to an extent of executing these commands, the moment it feels we are not getting response.
