Can't connect Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini in Eclipse

Question

I've been trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, looked for help everywhere I could find it, but it's not working. Here's some additional info:

I have checked USB debugging in development options
USB drive is working
Reset adb gives out the following error messages: [2014-02-27 10:10:58 - DeviceMonitor] Adb connection Error:EOF [2014-02-27 10:10:58 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1 (...)

Any idea what might be the issue.

kies is not necessary. try to connect your deviec as a media device and then reset adb. — Waqar Ahmed, Feb 27 '14 at 09:23
Kies is installed. In my developer options, there's no possibility to connect as a media device. — strawberrywine, Feb 27 '14 at 09:25
if u use windows OS then install PdaNet Desktop application in ur windows and install PdaNet+ android application in ur samsung S3 mobile and then try to connect ur mobile. — Ketan Mehta, Feb 27 '14 at 09:28
Nope, I didn't. Have a new phone now (Nexus 4), it connected on the first day ... then for some reason it stopped. Might be a problem with my computer. — strawberrywine, Jun 20 '14 at 14:11

Goto ddms and right click on the mobile and click reset adb , and also need to delete existing virtual devices, which were pretty old, and create new ones.

Execute "adb devices" in your console

If result is empty, check your cell phone 's drive is installed.

To access these settings, open the Developer options in the system Settings. On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom.
