Help Flash Builder 4.7 shows Samsung Pro Tab 8.2 (Android 4.4.2) as offline.

This sort of thing has already been asked about a couple of times before, but the advice I've seen hasn't fixed my problem. I'm starting to work on an AIR Mobile project in Flash Builder 4.7 (it was 4.6 yesterday), and it doesn't want to debug directly on a Samsung Galaxy Pro Tab 8.2 (Android 4.4.2) my boss has handed me. When I try to run the application, written in AS3, it just keeps showing the device as offline.

It's been recommended to:
  • update USB drivers - done
  • update adb.exe to 1.0.31 - done
  • check "USB debugging" on the device - done
  • run "adb devices", then accept the RSA signature thing - done
What else is there? Something to note is that there doesn't seem to be a "charge-only" mode on the device; at least some versions of KitKat stripped out a couple of the options for the USB mode.

Also I've tried previously to download the following files from Android and to update my Flex SDK with them:
  • aapt.exe
  • adb.exe
  • AdbWinApi.dll
  • AdbWinUsbApi.dll
  • dx.jar
Unfortunately I couldn't get that to work earlier. When I saw it posted about previously, somebody said that the "right versions" of those files would all be within a single, specific folder within an Android SDK folder - <Android root>\android-sdk\platform-tools - but I only had three of them in that folder; so within the Android downloads, I had to hunt around a little and pull them from different spots.

For example, I would pull aapt.exe from <Android root>\android-sdk\build-tools\21.1.2, and I would pull dx.jar from <Android root>\android-sdk\build-tools\21.1.2\lib.

Maybe that means the versions I copied over weren't correct? I've tried using the Android SDK Manager to get them, but it doesn't seem to want to get them all and put them in the same spot and/or get all the right files in the first place. If somebody could show me a repository for the right versions, or at least a way to make sure I'm downloading the right versions, I can try it again to see if that might end up being the answer.

Also if I go into the command prompt as an administrator and navigate to the folder adb is in for Flash Builder, and if I run adb from there, this is what I get:

Code:
>adb devices
adb server isout of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0e5d4a10064eb62c    device

However this is a problem that's widely attributed to HTC, which my computer doesn't have anything to do with.
