Need help with mobile connection issue

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding a mobile connection issue. I tried to connect my mobile device to my laptop, but I encountered an error. When I entered the command “adb devices” in the command prompt, it showed “0 devices attached.” This is crucial for mobile automation, and I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you!

Hello @shrikrushna.bhoi,

Follow these steps.

  1. Check USB Connection: Use a proper ‘data cable’ and switch USB ports.

  2. Enable USB Debugging – In your phone:
    a. Go to Settings > Developer options
    b. Enable USB Debugging

  3. Change USB Mode:- Set it to ‘File Transfer (MTP)’ instead of “Charging only.”

  4. Restart ADB:- Run these commands in Command Prompt:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

  1. Reinstall ADB Drivers:- Update or reinstall drivers in ‘Device Manager’.

  2. Run ADB as Admin:- Open Command Prompt as ‘Administrator’ and try again.

  3. Check in Fastboot Mode:- Restart the phone in ‘Fastboot Mode’ and run:

fastboot devices

If still not working, let me know your phone model and OS version!

@shrikrushna.bhoi ,

It looks like your laptop is not detecting your mobile device via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:

1. Check USB Connection

  • Use a different USB cable (preferably an original or high-quality data cable).
  • Try connecting to a different USB port on your laptop.
  • Avoid using USB hubs; connect directly to your laptop’s port.

2. Enable USB Debugging on Your Phone

  1. On your phone, go to Settings > About Phone.
  2. Tap Build Number 7 times to enable Developer Options.
  3. Go to Settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
  4. Set USB Configuration to File Transfer (MTP) or PTP instead of Charging Only.

3. Verify ADB is Installed Properly

  • Open Command Prompt and type:

sh

CopyEdit

adb version

If ADB is not recognized, reinstall ADB drivers or platform-tools.

4. Restart ADB Server

  • Run the following commands in Command Prompt:

sh

CopyEdit

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

5. Check for Unauthorized Device

  • When connecting your phone, check for a pop-up on your phone asking to authorize USB Debugging.
  • Tap “Allow” or “Always allow from this computer.”

6. Install or Update USB Drivers

  • If using Windows, update or reinstall your phone’s USB drivers:
    • Download OEM USB drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
    • Install Google’s USB driver (for Nexus/Pixel devices).
    • If using Samsung, install Samsung USB Drivers.
  • If using Mac/Linux, install ADB via Homebrew (brew install android-platform-tools) or package manager.

7. Check Device in Device Manager (Windows)

  1. Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).
  2. Look under “Android Device” or “Portable Devices”.
  3. If you see “Unknown Device” or a yellow warning sign, right-click and update/install the driver.

8. Try a Different Laptop or OS

  • If possible, check if the phone is detected on another computer.
  • Try using Linux or Mac to see if ADB works there.
