Device not listed by adb devices on a virtual machine guest

Device not listed by adb devices on a virtual machine guest



Why is my android phone not listed by adb devices?


adb devices



I followed instructions described at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device but ADB still doesn't find my device.
My user is already member of plugdev group. I also have tried to kill and restart the adb server.


plugdev


adb



I'm running Debian Stretch in a VirtualBox machine. Debian can see my device but adb can't.


adb

Did you enable developer options and enable debug mode on your device?

Debug mode is enabled. Rebooted device and host machine. Still doesn't list.

I'm not sure ADB works within a VM, even if the device is seen.

The easy way to use adb in a virtualized environment regardless of the specific platforms is to run adb server on the host as a remote system and run adb clients inside the guest systems. See my answer to another question here .


adb


adb server


adb



While it is possible to run both the server and the clients completely inside of guest system, to do so reliably usually involves passing through the whole USB controller into the guest system.



I made a workaround that solved my problem. It is not perfect but it works.


adb devices



In the virtual machine make a tcp tunnel that redirects local port 5037 to the host machine 5037 port:



ssh -L 5037:10.0.2.2:5037 localhost -N -f


ssh -L 5037:10.0.2.2:5037 localhost -N -f



I'm not going to mark this as the correct answer because my Guest ADB still doesn't see my device






My host machine is Windows. ADB works fine there.

It worked when I changed my device USB to charge only mode.
