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!
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
On your phone, go to Settings > About Phone.
Tap Build Number7 times to enable Developer Options.
Go to Settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
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)
Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).
Look under “Android Device” or “Portable Devices”.
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.
