    Dear all

    we try this method in windows but it can’t find our LG V10 and displays “device not find” on the screen when we are using adb.exe to connect the LG V10. What is the problem? Moreover, we try to use imac OS but the adb can’t run again. How can we do? Thanks.

    Doesn’t work on Note 4, grant permission failure ?

    1. First make sure open your phone’s usb debuging
      Use this automic way: http://blog.sightidea.com/?p=219

      Had the same issue after following these steps, what you will have to do is manually install the Samsung USB developer driver manually from http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117 for your computer to recognize your phone for debugging, otherwise it still thinks it’s a media player. You’ll know it’s working because once the correct driver is in place, the Note 4 will ask you if you want to allow your computer (it’ll say the mac address of the computer) to debug. Hope that helps. 😀

    How to change locale from command line? I can change locales from UI, is it possible to change instead from command line?

    Im currently using a Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge Plus (Android 6.0.1). Ive followed all the steps however the last command I entered gave me “error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.”
    The device was already in debug mode when I entered the commands.

      FINALLY it worked!!! alright so after many attempts of entering the same command a million times. I finally got it to work, How? The reason is pretty dumb. Make sure you cable is plugged in all the way >:( or else it wont work. There was 3 simple steps. but I Forgot about step 0 (Plug IN)

    Hello. When running the command, all I get is “error: closed” after the daemon starts successfully. I have followed the steps exactly and entered the command exactly, and despite many restarts of both phone and computer, I get the same error.

    Do you have any advice?
