ADB not functioning

UltrasonicNoise

Hello all

I wasn't sure where to place this issue, but it works flawlessly out of the box on a new installation on the Fairphone 2 so here it is.

I can't seem to get ADB or SSH to work on Ubuntu Touch for application development on my Google Pixel 3a XL - ADB doesn't list my device and no RNDIS connection is made even if I use UT Tweak Tool to enable SSH and set the USB mode to RNDIS. I've tried looking through the boot and recovery menus as well and I can't anything relevant to either of these. Is there something I am missing?

Best regards,
UltrasonicMadness

@ultrasonicnoise It has worked on all of my devices, but have you set a lock code? I think a device lock code must be set for it to function.

@ultrasonicnoise Is developer mode on? might not be the point but worth a try. Also use UT Tweak Tool to check connection method.

@MrT10001 I can confirm that a lock code is set.

@Lakotaubp Developer mode is on and I used UT Tweak Tool to no avail - enabling SSH and setting the USB mode to RNDIS.

Also, I should mention that lsusb shows a 18d1:0005 Google Inc. Pixel and KDE's MTP frontend shows a Pixel that I can transfer files to and from. I suspected KDE was the problem until I tried my Fairphone 2 and it worked without a problem.

@ultrasonicnoise I was thinking that would be the next port of call. I tend to install Android Studio on all my PC's so that I get the latest Fastboot and ADB drivers. Worked for me so far with very few if any ADB and fastboot issues on Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu and Debian.

@mrt10001 Android Studio tends to slow any PC I have to a crawl - I try to avoid it whenever possible.

@ultrasonicnoise There is a lightweight/basic version available on the XDA developers forum iirc

@ultrasonicnoise I have it running on my Ubuntu machine running a 1.4Ghz dual core Celeron with 4Gb of RAM, no slowdown here. It just works.

@lakotaubp Could you link to that? It might just be the ticket.

@ultrasonicnoise https://www.xda-developers.com/15-second-adb-installer-gives-you-lightning-fast-adb-fastboot-and-driver-installation/ might just be windows for linux just use terminal commands (seach on net).
