Android_usb Cannot enable 'adb'

vrabac · April 20, 2017, 6:47pm

seems as “USB-Debugging” can’t be enabled. I connected my VIM Pro over USB-C cable and fired up adb shell on my notebook, but no device could be found, and also I don’t see any device found in Windows Device Manager.

Then i connected USB Serial Console cable and checked log when activating USB Debugging on VIM Pro and there is see that error: android_usb: Cannot enable ‘adb’ (-22)

My VIM Pro is running: Vim_Nougat_170321.7z ROM flashed successful with Burning Tool, before flashing this I have had what ever version is flashed in production (but was Android 6 i think). I did not check if adb was working there.

Upgrade mode is working without any problem and device is recognized by Burning Tool!

Developer Mode is enabled on the Nougat install I presume?

vrabac · April 20, 2017, 8:03pm

yes because “USB debugging” option is under Developer mode, i am however not sure if it was enabled, or I enabled it myself by hitting build number many times until developer mode was enabled.

The version of Vim_Nougat_170321.7z didn’t support for usb adb function.
We will release the new Rom supporting the usb adb function in this week.

vrabac · April 21, 2017, 7:44am

@Terry ok now it is clear why it does not work.

vrabac · April 21, 2017, 4:43pm

With new ROM (Vim_Nougat_Root_170421.7z) it does works

C:\> adb shell
kvim:/ $ su
kvim:/ #

Looks like from source built Nougat also has issues - can’t connect via ADB:

And on VIM2 screen no pop-up comes up to authorize debugging from computer

In Developer options USB debugging is enabled.

The source code on Github is active for ADB.
Maybe the enviroment of your host PC has problem.
Did you connect VIM2 via adb successfully with official ROM?
What’s the system of your host PC? Ubuntu or Windows?

For VIM_Nougat_170901

ADB over USB

The USB-C cable is connected to my PC.
I enable adb debugging on my device (Vim Pro) : Settings–>Developer options —> USB debugging
Open a terminal and type:

$ adb shell

Appear error : device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on you device.

You need to check the confirmation dialog on your VIM

allanwang · October 24, 2017, 7:18am

I check Vim - Android Settings again. I make sure Developer options —> USB debugging to enable

What’s the system of your host PC? Ubuntu or Windows?
This usually happens when you miss accepting the RSA Key Notification at first.

You can kill adb server firstly, then type adb shell command again.

# adb kill-server
# adb shell

Have a try. Thanks

Dear Terry

Thank you for your support. It can work now.

Gytis · October 25, 2017, 9:36pm

The problem is that confirmation dialog does not come up I am trying to run ADB on Nougat VTV build and maybe the problem is that VTV app is launched as soon as Android boots up and after quitting VTV the allow debugging dialog does not come up

I will do a clean Nougat build (without VTV) and check on it if I have ADB issue there too.
