android usb fm,Android device is not connected to USB for debugging (Android studio)

How to get connection to device working using adb command line:

USB debugging enabled on phone and phone connected.

I am exercising these commands on linux(redhat and ubuntu) but same commands work under the hood on windows. The device manager runs adb commands. You can find a console in your device manager or regular command-line works if you set up your paths to SDK.

If you can run adb and see something like ???????? in devices list ..

$ android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb devices

List of devices attached

???????????? no permissions

You might be running the adb server as a regular user.

You might have to run the adb server as root.

So kill the server as regular user and start it as root.

$ adb kill-server

$ which adb

$ sudo /android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server

Now look at adb devices list, if it is first time this machine connects to this phone you will see "unauthorized".

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

MWS0216A31xxxxxx unauthorized

At this point on phone you should have dialog popped up and you can tap ok to authorize. Then you should see "device" in the devices list and commands like shell/push/pull/sync/backup... should work.

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

MWS0216A31xxxxxx device

$ adb shell "uname -a; df; ls /storage/sdcard0/Download"
