Invisible Nexus with fastboot/adb

Hi guys.

I'm on linux-ck-haswell kernel installed by repo-ck. When I use my Nexus 4 on fastboot mode or adb, my pc doesn't see it. If I use the "lsusb" command is the same. It is a kernel problem?

Re: Invisible Nexus with fastboot/adb

I don't know much about Linux kernels, but what I know, mounting an android device is not plug-and-play on linux. Android usees MTP to move files, which works fine on windoze (once you find the drivers), but requires manual mounting to be visible under linux. However, you should be able to do whatever you want with fastboot+adb. For example to downlaod files off your phone you can use the adb pull command. Either learn the power of adb, or look around on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr … ?t=2004182

Hope I helped.

Is it recognized by adb devices?  You might need ot run that as the superuser if you are not part of the adbusers group (assuming that you are using the android-sdk-platform-tools package from the AUR).

You should also have the android-udev package which just provides a rule that will properly label your device and make it recognizable by adb.

I tried also with ck kernel and stock kernel and with fastboot I can see the nexus, but when I'm in recovery, adb doesn't see my phone. If I try to use "lsusb", I can see nothing.

Now I'll try to flash stock android 4.3 and I'll try to reconnect my device in debug mode.

Re: Invisible Nexus with fastboot/adb

I have the same problem, in fact I use the ck kernel also, I plug the usb and nothing happens, the device is not listed in the output of "lsusb", but I think the problem is the phone because this is not happening with my nexus 7.
