Here’s the issue. I do this to get the device list:

./adb devices

And I get this:

List of devices attached

with no returned devices. If I run the emulator, that shows on the above list, but still no physical device.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S Fasciate (Verizon model) on a MacBook running OS 10.5.

I am connecting through a powered USB hub as was advised on a different message board (I can find the source if anyone’s interested). This also does not work when I connect directly.

According to the Mac System Profiler, the device is plugged in:

SAMSUNG_Android:

Product ID: 0x681c
Vendor ID:  0x04e8  (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.)
Version:    2.23
Serial Number:  I500874368c4
Speed:  Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:   SAMSUNG
Location ID:    0xfd140000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA):  96

I am able to mount the SD drive and have even successfully used two different apps that tether an internet connection via the USB cable, so I can safely assume that the computer can properly interact with the device.

Yet for some reason, it does not show up as a device that I can debug.

(And yes, I’ve turned on “USB Debugging” on the phone – and even tried restarting the phone.)

I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Got it!

    It was EasyTether!

    I installed EasyTether at some point and it was interfering with this even after I thought I uninstalled it.

    Here’s the solution from the EasyTether website:

    ADB on Mac OS X stops recognizing the
    attached device after installing
    EasyTether driver. Use
    kextload/kextunload to unload from
    memory the EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
    kernel extension manually. It is in
    /System/Library/Extensions/

    Once again, thank you everybody for helping with this.
