Android ADB device offline, can't issue commands
I can't connect to my device anymore using ADB through the command line or in Eclipse.
Running the command
adb devices
returns the device name, but it says it's offline.
Things I've tried.
I really don't have any clue what's going on. Anything else you think I can try, I'm all ears.
To be clear, if you're having this same issue the problem is probably an out-of-date SDK. As of 4.2.2 there is a security feature that requires you to confirm the RSA fingerprint of the connecting device. Open the SDK manager and update the tools! Then reboot.
I just got the same problem today after my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus were updated to Android 4.2.2.
The thing that fixed it for me was to upgrade the SDK platform-tools to r16.0.1. For me, this version was not displayed in my SDK Manager, so I pulled it down from http://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r16.0.1-windows.zip directly.
You then need to rename the platform-tools directory and unzip it to android-sdk-windows/platform-tools . Using the SDK Manager, I had also updated to the latest sdk-tools before this.
If your whole Eclipse and ADT are ancient, you may need to update them as well, but I didn't need to.
Note: you may need to run SDK Manager twice (once to update itself) before you will see the latest packages.
Try running adb devices after running adb kill-server . Security question pops up after that. Worked for me.
I hit the same issue on a Nexus 7 running 4.2.2 OTA update. I'm almost certain I had an ADB connection over USB and Wi-Fi after the update until it just stopped working. To fix, I updated my SDK using:
android update sdk --no-ui
Now my development tools are:
