Root ADB not connecting

A

Hello,

For some reason, when I connect in charging mode, my Bionic is always offline.

I can connect in AP mode, PC Mode, Windows Media Sync, USB Mass Storage, and it will even charge the phone.

The PC recognizes it when it is in charge only mode, but it is always offline.

So far, I have:

Reinstalled the drivers several times
Unisntalled them, rebooted, reinstalled them
Connected in AP mode successfully
Tried every ADB wifi option on the market

It appears to be a phone issue when its fully booted.

Any ideas?

Edit: I am currently running 5.9.902 rooted with forever root.
 
You have USB Debugging enabled, right? I know that's a silly question, but it's what is required for ADB to work at all.
 
Correct me if I'm missing what you are saying. I think what you are saying is that when you are in Charge Only the Bionic cards are not accessible from the PC and when you are not in Charge Only they are.

That is the way it works. Exclusive control of the cards is given to either the Bionic or PC.

You can see this when no it in Charge Only and you try accessing something from your SD-Ext card using the bionic display. It will not work. You can access it from the PC.

Now change to Charge Only ... you can access it from the Bionic but you can not access it from the PC.

Actually, what I'm trying to do is to connect to the phone for adb commands in a pc command prompt window.

I CAN access the cards like I'm supposed to in all the other modes, but when I connect in charge only mode with USB debugging enabled... I can NOT connect to the phone through the ADB Shell.

I cant send any files or issue any adb commands to the phone.
 
Can't you do everything you want by running in USB Mass Storage mode except access the SD or SD-Ext cards from the Bionic side? When you want to access them from the Bionic side switch to Charge Only. When done switch back to USB Mass Storage.

Sorry Thom,

The issue isn't with accessing the cards. That all works fine. The issue is that I can't push any mods or send any ADB commands to the phone.

I can't access the phones ADB shell from the computer.

I am trying to mod the webtop, and I need to be able to issue ADB interface commands to the phone FROM the computer. The phone is in debugging mode and connected in charge only, which is required to access the phones ADB interface, and the PC sees it, but it is offline for some reason.

You have all of the drivers installed as well, for your computer's architecture?

EDIT: Well, I guess I didn't read the OP very closely. Just check that the architecture is correct. :|
 
I (obviously) don't use ADB. The behavior you describe is EXACTLY how standard file sharing is supported on an un-root-ed Bionic.

The small research I did shows that much of the ADB arena requires that you are root-ed. And you apparently are root-ed.

Perhaps you would find some help in ... Bionic - All Things Root - Android Forums ... at least some other people who are using it.

Good luck.

I'm curious what you mean by that? Specifically, "offline".
Once you have installed the moto drivers, the first time you connect the Bionic to the PC (in Charge Only mode with USB Debugging enabled) win should detect and load a driver for "Mot Composite ADB Interface". First thing is to check in device manager and see if that is there and there are no issues. If it's not there, try a different USB port and see if it picks up.
 
Just some other thoughts about your problem. Use the original Moto cable and plug it into a rear usb port on a desktop machine. Have the correct Moto drivers (32 or 64-bit) installed and rsdlite. Run the commands from the command prompt from the folder where the adb files are. If it doesn't work the first time, reboot the phone and the computer and try again.
